Chapter 304
"..."
That's because there isn't one!
Confirming his judgment was correct after hearing Sophia's hurtful words, He Muzhi sighed inwardly, shamelessly ignoring the curious looks from his classmates, and casually said, "Nobody."
"?"
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, He Muzhi didn't wait for his classmates to press for more information and immediately suggested, "Let's go together."
He had been secretly pleased that Qin Su had been in contact with him directly, but now this blow had left him feeling emo.
In a sense, Qin Su's fairness can't be considered a form of indifference that distances him from Qin Su.
As soon as He Muzhi finished speaking, he turned around and took a step forward.
Sophia and the others wanted to ask more questions, but seeing He Muzhi's evasive attitude, even though he hadn't said anything, they had many guesses in their hearts. However, none of them dared to be sure if their guesses were correct, and they wouldn't say anything at this time. After exchanging a glance, they didn't linger and quickly followed He Muzhi.
The group walked for three minutes and arrived at the towering gate, which had been splattered with blood and bits of flesh, turning from its original golden gleam to crimson.
[Should we fry it? Should we fry it? (starry-eyed)]
[This can't be blown up!]
[Why not? It's not like they're flying everywhere. I support bombing! (stirring up trouble. jpg)]
[There's no flying involved, but it's hundreds of times more disgusting than flying all over the sky. If you want to experience being covered in corpses, come and get fried.]
[I think Kanasen has gone mad, his mental state is seriously questionable. He actually went so far as to pile corpses on the gate, hoping to disgust Qin Su even if he couldn't kill him, and make Qin Su reek of Corpse Stench. But... didn't expect that, did you? Qin Su didn't even come, hahaha... wait, they're all wearing Combat Suit, what's there to be afraid of? Blow them up!]
[Have you forgotten? According to the comics, in order to detect information from smells, aside from special Combat Suits for specific situations, Combat Suits usually amplify the perception of hearing, smell, and sight many times over compared to not wearing Combat Suit. Otherwise, how could they all have noses like dogs, able to smell the Corpse Stench from so far away and through so many layers of barriers? If their bodies weren't exposed to the odor, their sense of smell would explode.]
Seeing the gap that was clearly sealed off and looked distinctly different from the rest of the place, He Muzhi suppressed his surprise. The smell they had caught outside had obviously come from this gap. He wondered what lay behind it, whether there were piles of corpses. He hesitated about whether to blow it up, and finally stopped in his tracks.
Making the decision to blow it up means that people will be bombarded with rotting corpses. They might not say anything, but they'll probably curse him for the rest of their lives.
Those behind couldn't see He Muzhi's expression, but they could smell the Corpse Stench emanating from the narrow gap. They were too busy complaining about how disgusting it was to pay attention to He Muzhi's movements.
The group of people had been far away and hadn't paid any special attention, and because the gap was small, they hadn't noticed anything unusual about the door. Now that they were closer, separated only by the door, the pungent smell that had been masked by the strong stench of blood was making them feel intoxicated.
"Damn, it stinks! When did this door get left open like this? How can anyone see what's inside?"
"The crevices are completely filled with blood and flesh; you can't see anything. Besides, this smell is unmistakable from a million miles away—it's the Corpse Stench. What else could it be but a corpse? But with such a strong Corpse Stench, what's inside... um, could it be what we're thinking? Kanasen really is in a room with a bunch of corpses, right inside?"
"From the first live stream until now, a corpse that died of natural causes obviously couldn't have decomposed to this extent in such a short time, and thus emit this kind of smell. Clearly, the temperature and humidity inside are abnormal, or some other reason is causing the smell we're experiencing. In any case, since He Muzhi brought us here, it means that Kanasen is very likely inside. He would never allow himself to be in such a situation. This was all Qin Su's doing. Qin Su... is this to torture Kanasen, or us?"
"What you're saying is so offensive—I never imagined that one day I would desperately want to use the strong smell of blood to slightly dilute this sweet, Corpse Stench."
Meanwhile, above the Setini Palace, ever since Class 6) led a large group of people into the Setini Palace, the Modified Humans had lost their best Viewers position. No matter how they looked around, they felt there was nothing for them to do. They could only continue to focus their attention on the people below, trying to find ways to see what was happening inside the Setini Palace through every crack.
"Damn it! We finally managed to snag a VIP Audience Seat, but they only let us see half of it. What is it that we VIPs can't see?"
"We're all second-rate; how dare we even look at the movements of the chief's personal disciple?"
"Hey, which side are you on? Why are you Class 6 undermining our own morale?"
"Just tell me if you can or can't you watch it..."
Before Amelia could finish her joking remark over the Communication Channel, she suddenly heard a cold voice.
"Get out of the way."
Using the location of Kanasen in the Setini Palace below as a reference, Qin Su selected the best Audience Seat. In order to make a grand entrance, he had to ask the people in the Audience Seat to give way to him.
"!"
Qin Su's voice!
"Yes!" Amelia reacted quickly, glanced around, and easily realized from the reactions of her companions that only some of them had received the message from Qin Su, while others looked at them blankly. After determining the direction to leave, she immediately set off.
Flight is a basic modification for Modified Humans. While their speed isn't as fast as Warship at its maximum, they are more agile. In less than two seconds, the dense crowd that had gathered in the center of the Setini Palace cleared out a no-man's land.
"What's going on with you guys?" Zhang San looked at Li Shi, who had just shoved him so hard he had to move over, with a bewildered expression. "Why did you all suddenly have a change of heart and give up the best Viewers were assigned?"
"Get your act together, Lao Zhang. What kind of person would get so many of us together like this...?"
Boom!
Before Li Shi could finish speaking, a sudden, strong gust of wind, carrying a sharp chill, swept outwards from the center of the empty space, and Li Shi's voice dissipated in the howling wind.
Caught off guard, everyone's first reaction was to activate the defensive layer and maximize the intensity of the gravity equipment, effectively welding themselves to their feet.
Once they were on high alert and their tension had subsided, they discovered that the misty white tornado had dissipated.
Qin Su stood where the wind seemed to rise out of nowhere. A golden sash, draped from his epaulets down to his chest in an arc, shimmered against the azure sky on his black, belted military overcoat. Qin Su eyelids were slightly lowered, and his expression was as cold as ice as he gazed down at the Setini Palace below.
[Appearing from the center of a tornado? Wow, that's amazing! (So cool it's breathtaking!)]
[King Su! Another new look from Su that's so handsome! I'm so excited I'm running around here and there!]
[Ahhh, I missed you Baby 1, I'm so glad to see you again!!]
[Today, approaching us is the God Su who controls the power of the wind.]
[Such a strong sense of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), but I can't believe I've seen tornadoes used in this way in my lifetime, I'll learn something new!]
I think you've really failed at your studies.
"!!!"
In an instant, everyone's heart leaped into their throats. Suppressing their excitement, they held their breath and stared intently at Qin Su, who had unexpectedly appeared before them. The area around Qin Su was completely silent.
The members of various Modified Humans armies were overjoyed when they saw Qin Su's black outfit with gold accents and a material that clearly matched their own Combat Suit.
The biggest difference between their Combat Suit and Qin Su's military uniform is that each of their Combat Suit has a distinct gold "S" on the chest, while Qin Su's doesn't. But Qin Su is the epitome of an "S," so he doesn't need it.
So...
'They were too quick to feel bad! They should immediately take back the inferior label they previously placed on themselves!'
Realizing that, at least at this moment, Qin Su had chosen them over Class 6), the Modified Humans's gaze toward Qin Su changed from burning to fanatical.
[Speechless, truly speechless, they're just trying to make themselves look good.]
[Why does the uniform worn by the Boss 1 look different from that of any other Military District personnel from the Class 6? Is it just my imagination?]
[No, no, no, this group of Modified Humans isn't just narcissistic. They're not only different, but if you look closely at the black and gold color scheme, doesn't it look familiar? (Points to various Modified Humans bases)]
[Holy crap, based on the color scheme, the outfit on Boss Su and the Modified Humans belong to the same series!]
[Sisters, I've compared them again, and the King Su's military uniform really does look... wait, how come you all guessed right?]
Qin Su clearly recognized that he was just a human being and could not see inside the Setini Palace through the layers of various building materials. Under the intense gazes cast upon him from all directions, he obediently used the Electronic Eyes to take in the entire situation of the Setini Palace.
Since his appearance, He Muzhi and the others have stood still for a full thirty seconds, just a door away from his ultimate goal, without making any move.
He deliberately opened a crack to let the stench of decay emanating from the space where Kanasen was, so that Class 6 and the people who came with Class 6 would be mentally prepared. He did not expect that Kanasen would see the crack and frantically try to escape through it. After several unsuccessful attempts to open it, he moved and stacked the incomplete corpses to the crack. At this time, behind the towering door was a small mountain of corpses.
Whether it was because Kanasen became so enraged that he forgot his feelings after gathering a bunch of corpses, or because he naively wanted to use the corpses as a protective shield for himself, many other corpses were also covered with various binding methods on the other walls.
Even if He Muzhi abandons the main entrance and chooses the 'side door' instead, he can still open a bunch of 'blind box surprises'.
The only way to get in cleanly was to remove the roof and enter from above.
Based on his long-term observation of He Muzhi was absolutely incapable of "cracking open" the magnificent Setini Palace, which was known as one of the 100 wonders of the Comic World and was called "Tyrant's Paradise." Therefore, causing devastating damage to the Setini Palace would not threaten his strong plan.
With this in mind, Qin Su patiently waited for He Muzhi's actions while simultaneously visualizing the space where Kanasen was located, trying to guess the area where He Muzhi would choose to make his move.
