The First Thread

The three, along with the Boundless One, floated in the endless void.

The Underworld and the Caregiver looked down at the Matrix Universe, their hearts filled with endless awe.

For people like them who have lived their entire lives in this universe, this vivid scene before them was enough to shake their very souls.

At the end of the balloon atop Qin Yiguan's head, a red thread meandered and slowly drifted into one of the Metaverse.

"Since it was through my abilities that the Metaverse jump was accomplished."

Qin Yiguan smiled. "Then helping me complete this matter first isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Both the Underworld and the Caregiver were somewhat dazed, and subconsciously nodded.

The three of them suddenly descended.

The destination is no longer where we came from, but the Metaverse numbered 017.

The Metaverse is vast.

As we landed.

What they saw as a 'glowing little square' transformed into a vast world, its size seemingly endless the closer they got.

A hazy land, mountains and rivers, wilderness and desert.

Finally, the city located by the red thread appeared before everyone's eyes.

This city, in this Metaverse, is also called Mirage City.

A Qin Yiguan, dressed in shorts and with his hands in his pockets, exuding youthful energy, strolled leisurely down the street.

The three of them slowly landed on the top of a nearby tall building.

The Boundless One then vanished.

This Metaverse is the red thread that Qin Yiguan once casually selected.

On the other side of the high-rise building, Sniper Aoke, armed with a heavy weapon, had already aimed at the back of Qin Yiguan's head, who was wearing shorts.

Qin Yiguan seemed to realize something.

As he jumped to the Metaverse, time also regressed slightly, returning him to the present moment before Qin Yiguan was assassinated.

He squinted slightly.

All three could clearly see a red neural network wriggling slightly beneath the Sniper Aoke's feet.

But he seemed completely unaware.

The mission's logic was simple: the Plunderer activated his simulation ability, creating an illusion that made the Aoke believe he had successfully killed him. He then returned to the Ao Council headquarters to report back, and the group followed his trail to find the Ao Council headquarters.

Bang!

The Sniper Aoke lightly touched the aiming device above his right eye, which resembled virtual glasses. The red crosshair instantly became clear and focused, and he fired.

A blue beam bullet shot rapidly from the gun barrel.

Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Directly beneath the bullet, there was a small patch of red nerve network, like the shadow of the bullet under the blazing sun, seemingly unable to escape the clutches of the Plunderer as the bullet flew rapidly.

"It can be used like this?"

Qin Yiguan's mind was racing. Under his control, the Plunderer's abilities were completely limited by his own thinking. He never imagined that the Plunderer 'Higher Self neural network, which could simulate everything, could be "launched" outwards.

Boom!

The man in shorts, dressed in Qin Yiguan, had his head shattered, and blood and flesh splatter

certainly.

All of this was because the red neural network that shot out with the bullet suddenly expanded just before it actually hit Qin Yiguan in his shorts, resimulating the surrounding scene.

This simulation is the only scenario in the eyes of the Sniper Aoke.

But in the eyes of the Underworld, the Caregiver, and Qin Yiguan himself, it was as if two scenes were unfolding simultaneously.

One is the illusion of a skull exploding.

The other one was Qin Yiguan, who looked nonchalant in his shorts. He suddenly turned around, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp. He actually raised his unprotected hand and directly pinched the beam bullet. His hand was like a super-strong alloy. The beam bullet instantly turned into Mars in his hand, without causing any damage.

really.

No one in Qin Yiguan is innocent when it comes to this matter of perversion.

Qin Yiguan, wearing shorts, stared intently at the direction from which the bullets had come, his gaze sharp as a sword.

Unfortunately, the Plunderer's simulation is a two-way phenomenon; the Sniper Aoke was clearly located on a distant rooftop, yet Qin Yiguan, in shorts and clothes, was unable to detect his presence.

But a hint of confusion appeared in Qin Yiguan's eyes as he wore shorts.

Qin Yiguan himself clicked his tongue in agreement.

It seems that Qin Variants had no intention of involving all Qin Yiguan, or even of interfering with their normal lives.

Only he, along with Underworld and Caregiver, became the chosen ones—the working class.

Immediately.

Qin Yiguan then focused his gaze on the Sniper Aoke.

But then he smiled with satisfaction and touched the communication device by his ear.

"Reporting to the Ao Council, reporting to the Core Aoke, Qin Yiguan of the 017 Metaverse has been dealt with."

He paused, then suddenly added, "I implore the Ao Council, and I implore the Core Aoke, to assign me some challenging tasks next time."

after.

The Sniper Aoke took out a transparent cylinder from the equipment box on his back.

At the center of this cylinder, a beam of light resembling blue electricity was flashing.

However, the Sniper Aoke used iris scanning to unlock the device, and the transparent cylinder in his hand opened a narrow gap.

He stretched out his fingers, as if plucking the strings of a musical instrument, and gently plucked the blue light.

A strange pulsation seemed to cause the surrounding particles to tremble in a certain rhythm.

A blue spatial rift appeared behind the Sniper Aoke.

This is the Multiverse Jump String invented by Core Aoke.

Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes slightly; the shape of the crack was very familiar.

When Lu Zun triggered the invasion of the Mechanical Leviathan, such cracks were hidden beneath the earth!

The Sniper Aoke slowly walked into the crack.

"Guys, we need to get rid of this big guy."

"Keeping up with him is our only chance."

Suddenly, the Underworld whispered, then gave the Caregiver and Qin Yiguan a wink. After that, he used both legs to propel himself up and leaped to the top of the adjacent high-rise building.

But then they saw the Caregiver Qin Yiguan, pull down the brim of her baseball cap and sigh softly, "I just want to be a Caregiver quietly."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he also leaped, covering at least ten meters, and landed on a distant rooftop as well.

Only Qin Yiguan himself remained in the same spot, surrounded by emptiness.

The Boundless One brought everyone here and then disappeared.

He can carry Qin Yiguan across the Metaverse, but it seems he can't carry him across tall buildings.

At this moment.

The Underworld turned around and looked at Qin Yiguan with a strange expression. In an instant, Qin Yiguan seemed to understand him perfectly.

"What are you doing? Stop dawdling! Once that rift closes, we won't be able to track that Big Head guy anymore. We're here to find the headquarters of the Ao Council, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it's your questline too. That means the Caregiver and I are helping you, and you're still dawdling? Don't you have any shame? Can't you even jump this short distance? Do you expect me to go back and help you? If so, I'll definitely despise you without mercy. You're a disgrace to ' Qin Yiguan '! Why do I have such a weak counterpart like you?"

Qin Yiguan pursed his lips slightly.

It's undeniable that there's a telepathic connection between them.

But this is such a perfect understanding! How did I translate such a long passage? There wasn't even a line break?

Looking ahead, there is at least 20 meters between the two tall buildings.

All of his "Higher Self" are now in that Black Room of Qin Variants.

in other words.

All that was left of me was a body devoid of any allure.

Qin Yiguan sighed softly, like a lonely child, then bent his legs slightly and soared into the air, instantly covering a hundred meters and landing directly in front of the blue crack.

Now that things have come to this, I have nothing left to rely on.

It's simply a matter of 100% integration and 24% Separation Rate.

These fancy stats simply give him a roughly 5500% boost in his three main attributes, such as strength, speed, and toughness.

Immediately.

Qin Yiguan turned his head slightly and looked at the Underworld that was jumping.

What the hell are you dawdling about?
