I write obituaries for the gods

"You promised me they couldn't find the Cloud Sea Void!" Bai Duozhi shouted. "They were supposed to be trapped inside the sphere, so how could they calculate the path to the center?"

“We’re not entirely sure about that either,” Ms. J said, “but since it’s already happened…clean it up yourself, understand?”

"Me? Cleaned up? Are you sure? Your son and Captain England were both killed by ghosts! He could even see my spirit!"

“Good luck, Mr. Best Wit,” Ms. J’s voice suddenly turned cold. “If you die, you will be identified as an accomplice of Captain England, which I don’t think you’ll like.”

"Hello? Hello!"

The phone call ended, and Bai Duozhi slammed his fist on the table in anger, then took a deep breath.

“Damn it… Euclid has screwed us all over…” he cursed under his breath. “Ms. J is an idiot, and my brother is an idiot too. You call yourselves hawks? Those little pigeons are practically taking all your power!”

"In the end, it still has to be me... Only someone with a clever, idealistic mind like mine..."

"Hehehe...the ghost of history...if I kill him, will I get to sit in the F Council?"

In the darkness, something is hanging down from the dome.

.......

The effects of the reverse-solid plasma cannon made Lin Chen understand what modern warfare was all about.

He also came to a profound understanding of why the position in Section One was called "Investigator".

They do the fine work, while the armed forces section does the rough work.

This laser is incredibly thick.

"This temple is really magnificent."

At the entrance of the temple, Jiang Zhengge looked up at the shadows cast by the magnificent colonnade.

The walls are covered with all sorts of fancy reliefs, which look like they were generated by AI, giving off a feeling of "magnificent but I don't know why".

Is this the ideal state created by Hyakudochi?

“Remember, try not to damage the facilities in the scene during the operation,” Jiang Zhengge said in a low voice. “The key to this mission is that we must find intelligence related to WHALE.”

“Understood,” Bruce glanced at Lin Chen. “Kid, how about we team up and kill a demigod for fun?”

"Please enlighten me," Lin Chen said with a light laugh.

"Same old tactics, get in and find a place to snipe," Jiang Zhengge began to assign tasks. "Lucy, you and two Deep Dive agents guard the entrance. The rest of you follow Lin Chen and Bruce. We'll deal with Bai Duozhi."

"receive."

"..."

Lin Chen was the first to enter the temple, gripping a revolver shotgun in both hands.

The interior of the hall was empty, with a staircase rising from the very center of the hall, leading to the throne high above.

Directly in front of the steps, a tall statue stood with its back to the crowd.

"You've come, accomplices of the Mentis Cult..."

The statue slowly turned around, its empty face looking at the crowd.

It was dressed in armor like an ancient Roman warrior, holding a spear in one hand and a round shield in the other, with dark blue cracks flowing across its marble body.

It is the guardian of the temple.

“It’s an entity manipulated by Baidozhi,” Lin Chen said in a low voice. “Be careful.”

"Now that you've come this far, I can't let you leave so easily," the voice of Byakuya came from the statue's mouth. "You will perish here..."

"Such cheap villain's dying lines," Lin Chen chuckled. "The foundation should hold a training course to teach you how to come up with these."

He raised his gun, passed over the statue, and aimed directly at the throne behind it!

Through the "Mirage City," he saw that the true form of Hyakudochi was right there!

......

Chapter 109 In-Person Meeting (First Update)

"Oh!"

The slug struck the shadowy figure on the throne, accompanied by the sound of something exploding, and a mass rolled down the steps.

However, when Lin Chen saw clearly what had rolled down, he was slightly taken aback—

It was a tattered black doll.

"Hahaha, you really think I'd sit on the throne and be your target?"

The next second, Lin Chen felt a gust of wind approach—

"boom----"

He ducked sharply: the temple guards' spears swept overhead, whipping up a gust of wind.

Lin Chen raised his gun, aimed at the temple guards, and pulled the trigger repeatedly:

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The temple guards raised their shields, blocking bullets as they charged toward Lin Chen.

Just then, a bullet pierced its leg—

"boom!"

Marble shards flew out, and the temple guards fell to their knees, their bodies swaying.

Li Zhanyi, who was in the distance, sent a .338.

The temple guards were about to get up when a shout, like that of Tarzan, rang out:

"Woo-ha!"

Bruce's long, deep-sea armor spewed flames as he flew in. He grabbed his machete and slashed at the temple guard's joint—

"Crack!"

The temple guard's legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhengge and the other deep-sea operators raised their guns and concentrated their fire, while the temple guards raised their shields to block the dense fire.

But the shield quickly succumbed to the strain and shattered.

"Crack!"

As the shield shattered, a figure silently leaped up and passed through the fragments of the shield—

It is Lin Chen.

He stepped onto the temple guard's hand, using it as a fulcrum to leap again, raising the superalloy hand axe high in the air.

A deep blue light was surging on the hand axe!

"Crack!"

The hand axe pierced through the temple guard's helmet, tearing a gash across its face.

Lin Chen casually grabbed the shotgun and shoved the muzzle into the crack—

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Five shots were fired in quick succession. With each shot, the temple guard lowered its stance slightly. When the fifth shot rang out, it fell backward to the ground and shattered with a crash.

"Crack!"

Stepping on the remains of the temple guards, Lin Chen raised his head and entered the "Mirage City" to search for the remnant soul of Bai Duozhi.

But this time, he found nothing.

Is Bai Duozhi's remnant soul still not gone?

"Lin Chen, watch out!"

Upon hearing Li Zhanyi's shout, Lin Chen immediately dodged aside.

Almost simultaneously, fragments of the temple guards shot into the sky like a white rain falling backwards—

"boom!"

In the sky, the temple guard was pieced together once again, this time resembling an ancient Roman centurion.

It plummeted from the sky, its towering form flashing repeatedly, and the short sword in its hand instantly pierced the chest of a Deep Sea Division operator—

"Sizzle!"

"You bastard!" Bruce cursed, firing repeatedly at his submachine gun with one hand and gripping his machete in the other, charging towards the centurion—

"Crack!"

He severed the centurion's hand holding the knife, and then the centurion sent him flying.

The group and the centurion got into a fight. Lin Chen turned his head and saw Li Zhanyi rushing over.

“It can repair itself,” Li Zhanyi said in a low voice, “but that’s not easy to deal with.”

"We need to find Bai Duozhi's true form," Lin Chen immediately thought of a solution. "Zhanyi, cover me for a moment."

"it is good."

Li Zhanyi took the rifle handed to him by Lin Chen. Lin Chen closed his eyes and began to peer into the area he had been looking at seven minutes earlier.

He searched every corner of the temple, but still couldn't find Baidozhi.

Could it be... that there's a hiding place?

Lin Chen recalled the vision that the wandering king had shown him: a passageway beneath the shadow of the throne.

Could it be a trap? After all, that illusion came from an anomalous entity, which was very likely controlled by Baidozhi.

Or perhaps, this intelligence was truly a gift from the homeless man to Lin Chen?

There is only one way to figure it out.

Lin Chen opened his eyes and saw Jiang Zhengge being lifted into the sky by the gale, and then shooting the centurion in the head.

Immediately afterwards, the centurion transformed once again, this time into an ancient general wielding a halberd.

"Zhanyi, cover me," Lin Chen said softly. "Let's go up the stairs."

Li Zhanyi nodded, and then ran towards the throne with Lin Chen.

Halfway up the stairs, the ancient general suddenly turned around and threw his halberd at Lin Chen.

"Om——"

Lin Chen scooped up Li Zhanyi in his arms, projected his image into the sky, and leaped upwards—

"Wow! That's a high jump!" Li Zhanyi exclaimed.

The halberd exploded below the two of them. Lin Chen landed on the steps, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The information provided by the homeless king was correct.

At the bottom of the steps, the ancient general tried to rush towards Lin Chen, but his legs suddenly bent—Brusco used his cleaver to instantly sever both of his kneecaps.

"Oh!"

As Jiang Zhengge pulled the trigger, the ancient general fell to the ground, his body disintegrating once again.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi rushed up the steps together and arrived in front of the throne.

However, at that moment, a figure was sitting upright on the throne—

It's Euclid!

"The game is over."

Euclid stood up and extended a hand towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and without dodging, he raised his gun and fired—

"Oh!"

Almost simultaneously, having foreseen the future, Li Zhanyi turned around and pulled the trigger behind him—

"Oh!"

Two bullets hit their targets simultaneously: Euclid's body was shattered, turning into marble fragments scattered all over the ground; on the steps, the invisible marble assassin was hit in the forehead by a bullet fired by Li Zhanyi and rolled down the steps.

"Good cooperation."
