Chapter 147

After drinking enough water, Fang Senyan's brain was basically clear. He slowly opened his eyes, but closed them again because of the dazzling light. At this time, Zi's gentle voice sounded in his ear:

"We are safe now. Don't rush to get up. First, recall your previous experiences, and then adapt to the surrounding environment. You just suffered a serious concussion..."

Fang Senyan took a deep breath and continued to lie on the bed as instructed. After about a minute, he opened his eyes and sat up, saying:

"How long has it been since the explosion?"

Zi looked at the time:

"Seven hours."

Fang Senyan nodded and said:

"According to convention, after completing the main mission, if no side mission is received, then we can only stay in this world for a maximum of 12 hours. Well, very good, we still have more than four hours of buffer time."

"I have entered this world before, so I know the beginning of a certain side mission. Let's go find that bastard first, start the side mission, and then determine the time to stay in this world. Ouch!"

The reason for Fang Senyan's groan was the sharp pain in his back. A golden-red negative energy that escaped from the core of the explosion splashed onto his back, and very simply corroded through it. It still hasn't dissipated.

This golden-red negative energy, like a maggot attached to the bone, stubbornly remained in Fang Senyan's body, and even the Stairway to the Sun was useless. Fang Senyan's injury healed a little, and this negative energy would mercilessly erode a little further! How could his injury get better?

Zi carefully wiped away the blood seeping from Fang Senyan's wound. The temperature of the blood was very high, it could be said to be boiling. Fang Senyan closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and waited for the severe pain to slowly subside before saying:

"We can now go find a guy named Vincent... There is a great chance to get a main mission from him. In addition, if Mr. Vincent disappoints us, then the main program designer of SkyNet, Miles Dyson, will definitely have a branch mission---------of course. It will be much more difficult to gain the latter's trust and get the relevant mission. So I won't take it as the first choice."

Mr. Vincent hadn't appeared for a long time, so there was reason to believe that he had almost faded from our memory. Yes, he was the soon-to-be marginalized executive of Cyberdyne Systems, the scheming man who immediately called the police after the transaction with Fang Senyan... It's just that the old man certainly didn't expect that the guy he betrayed would come back one day---------and this time he brought a large group of people!

Fang Senyan grimaced and climbed out of bed, then stood up very reluctantly, holding his shoulder. He still felt that the golden-red negative energy was very uncomfortable in his body, and he had no choice but to use anesthetics to block the surrounding nerves. Only then did he finally recover a little, but Fang Senyan's combat power would inevitably be reduced and weakened to 50% of his peak.

After the group went out, they got on a bus and drove towards Cyberdyne Systems headquarters. The bus was very empty. Fang Senyan and his party sat at the back of the bus. The atmosphere seemed a bit heavy for a while, and no one spoke.

Fang Senyan closed his eyes and pondered for a while. Then he slowly exhaled a breath. He said in the team channel:

"So powerful."

Fang Senyan's words seemed to shatter some kind of barrier, and everyone had a feeling of relief. Zi then said:

"Are you talking about the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Fang Senyan's face was ashen, and he nodded:

"That's right. This person is ruthless, meticulous in his thinking, and exceptionally decisive. That's fine. More importantly, he is very cautious. Once he senses that he may be in danger, he immediately withdraws. He will never do anything without certainty. This means that it will be very, very difficult to kill him! I'm afraid we will have to be careful of his existence for a long time."

"But his plan still failed." Zi showed an encouraging look. "In general, all the traps he set up were broken through by you----------and you were completely unprepared before experiencing the traps. This is not luck, this is a manifestation of strength."

Fang Senyan smiled bitterly:

"To be honest, I have no confidence in surviving this guy's third attack. But one good news is that his trick of planting bombs like before shouldn't be used often. For a bomb of this power, it has almost broken the balance for the current Contractor's strength. Even Reef and I can be easily killed as long as we are in the core area of the explosion. This kind of forbidden thing will either be greatly restricted in its use, just like MCDH's Let the Bullets Fly ability, or it is extremely rare."

"But why would that guy kill Contractors from the same camp?" Black Bro asked strangely.

Sanzi said at this time:

"Either doing so has huge benefits for him, or doing so will prevent us from gaining benefits."

Reef also said:

"Although the Contractors on the opposite side failed to completely complete the mission, they did kill Sarah Connor and Reese after all, and the point that the boss used was too tricky, few people could imagine that aspect, so, the Space's compensation they obtained, could it be that they additionally obtained time to stay in this world? This is also the most common form of compensation."

Fang Senyan pondered:

"You mean... the mastermind doesn't want these people to stay?"

Zi looked out the bus window and murmured:

"The other party knows the relevant process of the Seed of the Artifact. If... I mean if, one of the steps is to collect a certain number of powerful souls within a limited time, then the mastermind's behavior is also justifiable."

Sanzi also began to integrate into the team at this time, and immediately said:

"That's right, besides, that guy also has benefits from killing people. According to his ability that seems to be able to indirectly dominate fate, killing those Contractors is definitely not an impossible thing. The simplest way is to provoke them from it, first let them kill each other, and then show up to clean up the situation!"

Fang Senyan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then summarized:

"Then let's reverse and restore the way this mastermind thinks? He first stalked you in the last world, and weakened your strength at the most critical time, and then continued to stalk in the second world, using his destiny ability to create such a powerful trap."

"At this time, the mastermind should have felt foolproof, but unfortunately, his conspiracy was thwarted by me. At this time, his reaction is very critical! A person's performance after suffering a setback can be said to be very important----------this guy found that those Contractors he used were uncontrollable, and took the method of massacre to kill this uncontrollable factor in the cradle, and then set up another vicious trap. After setting up the trap, he felt that we might have a chance to threaten his life, so he immediately returned."

"This trap can be said to be very terrifying. The mastermind should have been planning to achieve three goals at once. First, to kill some members of our team. Second, if I'm not mistaken, the beginning plot mission of the Seed of the Artifact might have an extremely close connection with that abandoned warehouse! Third, destroy the evidence to prevent those dead Contractors' bodies from leaking some information about this guy, for example, if he uses a gun, there will be bullet holes on the body, for example, if he uses a knife, then undoubtedly there will be knife wounds..."

"This is a cruel, cold-blooded, meticulous, and cautious guy! He will not give the enemy too many opportunities at all!"

Fang Senyan made a conclusion.

Reef suddenly said:

"How to judge that he has left this world?"

Fang Senyan said seriously:

"If he stays in this world, then we will definitely encounter various bizarre accidents when dealing with the explosion."

Reef nodded slightly, but Zi said again:

"I still have a doubt, and that is the motive of the Stockholm team. Up to this point, the price they have paid will definitely not be small. They have entered the world twice in a row to hunt down, and they have used the extremely precious explosives from before. Is it worth it for such a Seed of the Artifact that may not be able to be taken back?"

After Fang Senyan heard this, he slowly said:

"I have been considering this issue before, and I only had some clues until just now. And you lack that experience, so it is difficult to speculate the reason behind it."

Zi said seriously:

"You say."

Fang Senyan took a deep breath, but the phantom of the terrifying cardinal flashed before his eyes, the incomparably bizarre underground reproductive system, the bloody world invitation letter that resembled a map fragment, and the bizarre conflict between the No. C Noah Space he belonged to and the superior...

"I think, the Stockholm team's relentless pursuit might have a lot to do with my experience in the bloody world. For the teams belonging to other Spaces, solving me earlier may reduce a lot of trouble..."

Zi was stunned after hearing Fang Senyan's words. She thought about it and couldn't help saying:

"If we calculate normally, then the time for the next opening of the Space Battlefield might really be coming. You mean, behind the actions of the Stockholm team, there is the instruction of their Space?"

Fang Senyan nodded, his voice was very long, but there was no hesitation:

"Very, possible."

ps: There will be more tonight, before 12 o'clock.

ps: A fanfic written by a book friend has been newly updated in the public version. I think it's pretty good. Friends who are interested can take a look.
