Counter-Kill

The intense radiance gradually faded after a brief flash.

The entire ritual, like a skateboard gliding on inertia without power, slowly came to a halt.

"Jason? An Lin?"

Job realized something was wrong. The ritual had been interrupted. He raised his gun, looking ahead vigilantly.

He vaguely remembered hearing the sound of the confinement device's metal wires snapping just now. What terrifying willpower that must have been!

The pain from the confinement device increased exponentially with movement. Job had experienced that feeling before. The pain caused by the confinement device had several levels. He had only reached level four before passing out from the pain. To directly snap the confinement device, one would have to endure the highest level, thirteen.

This was almost impossible, unless the confinement device was broken!

As the hazy light disappeared, Job vaguely saw his six teammates still standing in front, seemingly unharmed.

However, upon seeing this scene, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately rushed towards Selina.

Was I discovered? What a pity, the disguise wasn't good enough. If they were alive, they should be holding their guns in alert, calling out to each other to confirm survival, not standing there blankly.

He Ao sighed inwardly. His body was stiff and trembling slightly at the moment. The metal wire that pierced his body was indeed a bit painful, but it was within the range of tolerance.

At this point, Job had already grabbed Selina's hand and was about to unlock her Electronic Shackles.

He knew very well that only Selina could save him now. At worst, he would go back to prison.

But as soon as he touched the Electronic Shackles, his entire body froze in place.

Selina watched the man who had just been so arrogant. A huge, slimy tentacle directly pierced his body. This terrifying flesh weapon entered through the gap between his ribs from the back, precisely piercing Job's heart and exiting from his chest.

Bright red blood splattered out, splashing onto Selina's fair skin and golden hair.

Then the huge tentacle lifted slightly, hoisting Job's body up like a piece of cured meat. Job's brain was still conscious. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only the blood that had filled his chest cavity and entered his trachea continuously gushed from his mouth.

By this time, the light had completely dissipated. Selina took two steps back and turned her head to look in the direction where the six teammates had been standing.

They were not 'alive', but 'standing'.

Their bodies were pierced by sharp tentacles, which acted like pillars supporting their bodies, making them look like 'living people'.

And as Selina looked at them, the tips of the small tentacles controlling these corpses' heads turned their heads and pulled open their eyelids, making them 'look' directly at Selina.

Even though Selina was well-traveled, this scene directly impacted her sanity, causing her mind to go blank for a moment.

In that instant of her distraction, two tentacles shot up and wrapped around her body.

By the time she reacted, she was tightly bound and suspended in the air.

At this moment, some 'action works' she had seen before replayed uncontrollably in her mind.

Although most of her body had been transformed into mechanical prosthetics, to ensure comfort, prosthetic companies would install some miniature sensors on the surface of the skin for users, giving them senses like flesh, or even more sensitive than flesh.

Tentacles began to retract from the bodies of the deceased teammates and Job, coiling back under He Ao's body.

From Selina's perspective, He Ao's body was now as massive as a small mountain. Countless tentacles served as the base supporting this mountain, and on top of the mountain, a long neck extended, bearing a skull-like head.

Thump—thump—thump—

That was the sound of the teammates' bodies hitting the ground as they fell.

Selina looked at He Ao with a mix of fear and strangeness in her eyes, and tentatively asked, "Is your sanity still intact?"

Most evil god priests are irrational. After seeking power from the evil gods, they suffer the 'gaze' of the evil gods. Under this gaze, their minds and bodies gradually become twisted and insane. Although they possess powerful strength, they use it like a child swinging a hammer wildly.

Therefore, although evil god priests are strong, they are easy to deal with. As long as you first use items to break down their last bit of sanity, making them completely fall into madness, they will be easily killed or imprisoned like targets standing there.

Selina used this method to deal with the God of Knowledge priest named Yezuola. However, during the recent battle, 'Yezuola' showed obvious intelligence again.

This made Selina feel that 'Yezuola' had been pretending just now, and that 'Yezuola' was actually a high-level priest who could maintain sanity under the gaze of an evil god, which is why she tried to communicate with 'Yezuola'.

The other party didn't kill her, so they must have some purpose.

Perhaps it can be used...

Just as Selina was thinking this, the tentacles binding her tightened slightly, lifting her a little higher.

This was a warning to her not to have any small ideas.

At the same time, He Ao began to flip through the books on the ground.

There was only one book on the ground, which was the sacrifice prepared by Job and the others. It was full of a sense of age, and He Ao didn't know where Job and the others had dug it out from.

He Ao roughly flipped through it. Through the instinct of this body, he could recognize the words of this world. This book was just a simple elementary school math textbook, with no actual content.

Selina, who was hanging in the air, seemed to sense his regret, so she cautiously opened her mouth and said, "If you need books, there are many in the room we just explored. Those should be what you collected before?"

As she spoke, she began to reinstall the prosthetic operating system. She had restarted it several times, but couldn't clear the virus. The entire operating system was almost completely paralyzed. She could only try to reinstall the operating system now, clear all data, and restore the system to its initial state.

However, reinstalling the system meant that she would lose all combat power within an hour, and most of the combat modules that were originally loaded would be lost after the reinstallation, but no situation could be worse than the current one.

What she had to do now was to stabilize this evil god priest and buy herself more time.

He Ao heard her speak, raised his head and glanced at her, but said nothing. He still kept her hanging, and moved his body towards the passage they had just come out of. As he walked, he pulled out the metal stakes inserted around him.
