The Flesh as a Vessel, the Final Mission!
Time is passing by, second by second.
In Qin Leng's room, the door was sealed shut, and the electronic screen used for monitoring was black.
Qin Leng sat motionless in its wheelchair, its left eye gleaming with light, its expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.
His only remaining left hand was still gripping a hand gripper.
One time.
Two times.
His tendons bulged, and the hand gripper opened and closed in sync.
009 didn't die; he was kept locked up in the base.
This matter was originally known only to Qin Leng, because all those who knew about it were arranged by Qin Leng to be in an extremely dangerous operation.
Ultimately, no one survived that operation.
All of 009's files were also destroyed.
"Violations of humanitarian law, tearing up international conventions, treason, war crimes—the crimes I have committed are enough to fill a legal code."
"Because what I see is something that the world cannot see."
"Fate is always so absurd, and the answer is always shrouded in mist."
"The more impossible something is, the more likely it is to happen."
The hand grip strengthener in Qin Leng's hand fell to the ground. He yanked off the ventilator from his neck, leaving a hole in his throat.
Soon, a strange red wave spread upwards, and new skin condensed on his throat.
In his eyes, he was always walking, but he was walking in another world.
He was like a traveler from another world, walking on that lonely land.
He explored that world for far too long.
In that world, he encountered vampires and witnessed how vampire hunters killed those undead creatures.
In that world, he traveled to magic academies, where he learned how to use magic from the magic instructors like an apprentice.
In that world, he witnessed the duel between two powerful figures and took their weapons from their hands.
At the end of that world.
He saw a landscape no one had ever seen before; it was a scroll depicting the eighteen levels of hell.
There, he found the answer he was looking for.
Inside the Nine-Tailed Fox base.
A figure swiftly moved between the various containment chambers, walking through the walls, his body constantly switching between metal and flesh.
005, the Wall Breaker, is called the Rat in the Wall by Nine-Tailed Fox.
While fighting for his life outside, he crawled through the wall and infiltrated the core of the base.
After searching for a while, he found the Nine-Tailed Fox's armory.
There was a large amount of mithril piled up here, as well as some other metal weapons.
According to the Nine-Tailed Fox's database, the sword Qin Leng previously wielded was forged from Sacred Steel. Sacred Steel is thirty times harder than diamond, but its weight is only one-fiftieth that of a diamond of the same weight.
This is a strange metal that defies the laws of physics.
That Steel-Breaking Sword was not only incredibly sharp and indestructible, but it also possessed an ancient engraving.
The power of the engraving originated from an ancient race from another world, who blessed the sword, granting its wielder courage and strength.
This is the target of 005, the Wall Breaker.
Of course, he was also interested in studying other metals, such as mithril and Magic Metal.
As far as we know, mithril is primarily used by the Nine-Tailed Fox to combat Blood Clan.
Magic Metal, on the other hand, can only be used by Right Hand Unit.
Magic Metal can absorb Mental Power; as long as Mental Power is injected into it, the hardness of the Magic Metal will increase dramatically.
However, this metal is quite heavy, and the Nine-Tails currently has very little of it in stock. Not all of the Right Hand Unit are armed with this metal.
Because if all of them were fitted with this metal, the weight of a single soldier would be too high, which would first and foremost reduce their flexibility.
It can only be said that some of the mages were armed with some metal armor.
For example, the head and breastplate are used to defend vital organs.
"Let me see what the Nine-Tailed Fox has collected."
As the Wall Breaker spoke, he saw a man with an IV drip hanging from his arm sitting on a wooden crate in the warehouse.
Looking at that person, the Wall Breaker raised an eyebrow, "Nine-Tailed Fox?"
"Cough, cough..."
The man coughed a few times, then extended his hand in salute to the Wall Breaker:
"A-Class Personnel ... Taotie, here to carry out the final mission."
The Wall Breaker, hands in his pockets, asked, "The task Qin Leng gave you?"
"Yes."
Taotie answered weakly.
"The Nine-Tailed Fox is really running out of talent, having to send the old, weak, sick, and disabled to carry out missions," the Wall Breaker quipped.
Taotie could not deny that he was now in the ranks of the sick and disabled, but even so, he had to complete the last task Qin Leng had given him.
"From the very beginning, my purpose in existing was to house you, 005."
"Several of my contemporaries are dead, but they completed their respective missions before that."
"I'm the only one who hasn't used my abilities and has been surviving until now. I think my current state is God's punishment for my survival."
The Wall Breaker turned cold and then plunged one hand into the wall. "Then stop talking nonsense. I have no interest in chatting with men."
Boom!
The metal in the wall suddenly exploded, and a metal spike shot straight towards the Taotie!
Upon seeing this, Taotie ripped off the IV drip from his hand and dashed forward, the metal spikes slicing past his back!
The Wall Breaker suddenly tightened his grip, and metal spikes simultaneously attacked the Taotie from all directions!
Taotie took a deep breath upon seeing this, "This is the first time I've used my ability."
This is also the last time.
Suddenly, something ripped open the Taotie's chest cavity, creating a crack!
Countless tentacles instantly shot out from the crack and wrapped around the Wall Breaker!
The Wall Breaker frowned.
"What disgusting thing?"
Before he could react, the tentacles instantly dragged him toward the Taotie!
The Wall Breaker tried to break free, but found it could not sever these tentacles!
Diamond-like!
Click!
The Wall Breaker's body transformed into a completely transparent diamond in the blink of an eye, but this did not stop the gluttonous movements!
At this moment, the Wall Breaker's body merged with the Taotie!
Both of their brains trembled, and two afterimages began to flicker on one body at the same time!
"What... is this?"
The Wall Breaker spoke, but the voice came from the mouth of the Taotie!
Taotie felt his body swelling infinitely, his abdomen felt like it was about to burst, and his eyes widened. "Ugh..."
"I will use myself as a vessel; this is my... final mission!"
The two overlapping images merged into one, Wall Breaker dumbfounded, because he could not feel his own body.
However, he could sense Taotie's body.
It felt as if he were parasitizing a person named Taotie.
"Is this your ability?"
The words of the Wall Breaker were transmitted through the mouth of the Taotie.
Taotie immediately knelt down, feeling his Superpower Out of Control worsen after using his ability!
He stood up unsteadily, using his hands to support himself against the wall.
"That's right, but at least be quiet before I die."
Taotie began to walk laboriously outside.
"Heh, looking like you're half-dead, how long can you last?"
The glutton gritted its teeth.
"We'll hold out for as long as we can!"
