An Unexpected Appearance
Inside the simple office.
A worn-out machete hangs above the Single Horn's head, less than 1 millimeter from its scalp.
The Single Horn's body reacted spontaneously, even faster than his thoughts; in an instant, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
Regardless of the Single Horn's intelligence or the preparations he made beforehand.
He could never have foreseen such a turn of events.
after all.
No one could have imagined that the seemingly transparent sealed box held a secret.
No one could have imagined that a tiny speck of dust in the box would release golden light, and then an unknown substance would expand Infinity, eventually transforming into three human figures.
Even more unimaginable is that one of the figures, without saying a word, immediately slashed out with a sword!
The Single Horn didn't even have time to activate its 'blade'.
Fortunately, the cleaver stopped abruptly just before it sliced its own brain in two.
now.
The Single Horn felt two distinct sensations hovering above its head—coldness and sharpness.
Due to psychological factors, he has developed a false sensation of scalp pain.
"Oh shit."
A bead of sweat gathered on Single Horn temple. "For a moment, I almost lost my life."
The Single Horn eyeball rolled upwards inch by inch, and as the golden light faded, three figures gradually became clear.
One of the men, wearing a black leather trench coat and covered in knife scars on his abdomen and chest, had his arm outstretched, holding a machete above his forehead.
The man in the Black Skin said, "Should I spare his life first? If this isn't the Realm of Emptiness, at least we'll have someone to question."
The Single Horn's Pupil suddenly contracted.
He recognized that face!
These three people... three people Qin Yiguan?!
With their distinct appearances and clothing, are these three identical embodiments of Qin Yiguan?!
What exactly happened?
How is that possible?!
How did they emerge from that dust?
The Single Horn's worldview was somewhat shattered. No matter how much he pondered or how his enormous brain worked, he couldn't understand the principles and logic behind it!
indeed.
How could Single Horn, lacking a God perspective, possibly understand the inner workings of this situation?
Previously, the explosion of the ' String of Jumping ' used to Sniper Aoke caused Qin Yiguan and the other two to shrink Infinity, eventually entering the Subquark Space. The so-called Subquark Space is neither an independent space nor a parallel space.
It still exists in reality, only in a much smaller form.
Coincidentally, while collecting the debris from the explosion, Blue Blood brought back to Single Horn's office the aquark hidden in a speck of dust.
The reason why the Child helped Qin Yiguan escape the Subquark Space is quite simple.
It means restoring their bodies to their original state.
And so, this incredible scene unfolded before our eyes.
The three people in Qin Yiguan were essentially 'transported' here by Blue Blood.
now.
Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing the broken horn mark at the top of the Single Horn's head, then smiled slightly, "It seems we really did escape successfully, because this Big-Headed Aoke in front of us is the Single Horn that 172 mentioned!"
The Single Horn was startled again.
How could they know my real identity?
Who is 172?
Those who knew the name ' Single Horn ' were all killed by me!
But then Qin Yiguan looked around at his surroundings, "The Single Horn is the current Core Aoke... So that means this is the headquarters of the Ao Council? But..."
Qin Yiguan hesitated for a moment, "This place is so simple."
The Caregiver adjusted his hat brim. "It's not just shabby, it's downright awful. Did they buy a bare-bones house and not even start decorating? Haha... Uh, that's a complete joke."
In that instant.
The Underworld felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shouted, "Watch out, scatter!"
A black 'blade' silently sliced through the three of them from behind!
The Caregiver and Qin Yiguan instantly retreated to the left and right sides.
The Underworld instantly turned around, flipped his machete, and slashed at the 'blade'!
Bite!
A crisp clanging sound rang out, followed by a tiny spark!
The Underworld crossed paths with the 'blade', but during the process, the Underworld's body was forced to lean back. He failed to shatter the 'blade' and could only avoid its edge!
The blade swept through the air and vanished before striking the other wall.
A thin, healing cut was left on the Underworld's face, but Underworld didn't care about the small scar. Instead, he looked at the machete in his hand.
But then it was noticed that a corner of the machete had been cut off!
The Underworld's eyes widened. "My knife!"
Qin Yiguan felt a chill run down his spine.
Although the Underworld's machete looks ordinary and is full of nicks, it can actually stop heavy armor-piercing rounds when fighting against Sniper Aoke!
This machete is indestructible when cleaving through various hard objects in the Subquark Space!
so.
This machete creates a unique impression.
It's like some kind of treasure, born broken, but no matter how you use it, it will never change!
Moreover, judging from the Underworld's expression, he himself was extremely surprised!
Qin Yiguan immediately became alert. "Everyone be careful, this space is very strange!"
"Hehe."
But the Single Horn Aoke had already recovered from its earlier panic. "This isn't just one space; it's an independent universe— the Aoke Universe '!"
"I can set everything here, I can control everything here."
"Take the 'blade' we just discussed, for example. Its purpose is to cut everything, and you, once you enter this place, will be forced to abide by its rules!"
Qin Yiguan paused, "Isn't this... an independent Metaverse, an independent AI?"
"You can understand it that way too."
The Single Horn's expression grew increasingly calm. In his mind, he had already taken control of the situation, and the 'blade' was ready to be unleashed. He was no longer afraid.
The Single Horn looked at the three Qin Yiguan with great interest. "Now, I'm becoming more and more curious about you. How did you manage all this? What special abilities do you ' Qin Yiguan ' people possess? There's a rumored organization called ' Qin Variants,' does it actually exist?"
The Single Horn chuckled and said, "I suddenly realize that you guys can provide me with a bit of amusement."
But the next moment...
The Single Horn's smile vanished, replaced by a ferocious, beast-like expression. He said in a low voice, "From now on, whatever I, the Core Aoke, ask you, you must answer. Otherwise... die!"
