He Ao had already memorized the structure of the room and all its collectibles during the activation of Super Memory, so it was easy to notice a common feature by comparing the layout of the room with the appearance of the collectibles:
There were no electrical appliances in the room—all the wires had been cut.
Even toys that required batteries had their batteries removed.
There wasn’t a single electrically charged item in the whole room, not even a small circuit board with a button battery could be found.
The printer could operate but was unplugged.
He Ao opened the printer cover to check its internal structure.
Instead of a regular ink cartridge, there was a pen-like mechanism, and the room was illuminated by kerosene lamps.
This proved that the “owner” of this room hated or feared “electricity,” so He Ao tested out his theory with his cell phone battery.
Unexpectedly, it worked.
Just then, a strong mental assault swept through He Ao’s mind.
“Why are you trying so hard?”
“You’re so lonely, and the world doesn’t welcome you,”
“People fear you, dread you.
They don’t care whether you are good or bad; they only see you as a ferocious criminal.”
“You should retaliate against them, you should send them all to hell.
That woman just now, she was afraid of you too, wasn’t she?
Otherwise, why would she leave you behind and run away?
Ultimately, she just wanted to save her own life.”
·····
At that moment, some beguiling voices echoed in He Ao’s mind.
He Ao stopped walking, opened his clothes, took out a silver vial, uncorked it with his right hand, and began to take the medication.
“Don’t you have any resentment?”
“Have you never despised this world?”
A massive stone table slowly floated behind He Ao.
After finishing the medicine, He Ao held the vial in his hand, took out the stun gun Liu Nan had given him with his other hand, and nodded,
“Ah, yes, yes,”
The beguiling voice: ······
The black fog clearly didn’t expect He Ao to respond this way, and its logic circuit visibly jammed.
He Ao leaped into the air, landing on the stone table that flew up behind him, then used it to propel himself towards the black fog.
As He Ao flew towards it, the black fog moved backward again.
The exhibits in the room began to float densely in the air, rushing towards He Ao to block his way.
He Ao’s figure weaved through these objects as the black fog’s movement patterns and habits quickly assembled into an accurate model in his mind, allowing him to anticipate the fog’s actions.
The ability of Super Memory to remember every detail and then further extrapolate simulations was somewhat terrifying in a sense.
Omniscience equals omnipotence.
It’s just rather life-consuming.
And even in a state of Life Consuming, he was now only able to bear the computational load of predicting the enemy’s next move.
As the black fog continuously shifted new items from the room, more and more ‘collectibles’ in the air collided towards He Ao.
Moreover, the black fog was deliberately setting up simple traps; behind a soft doll, there might be a sharp knife, and the smaller the object, the faster its speed, sometimes He Ao could barely dodge.
After a brief stalemate, He Ao’s situation seemed to become increasingly dire until suddenly, he twisted his body and reached out with his right hand.
The next second, the black fog appeared right where he had extended his hand.
In that instant, the black fog was clearly stunned—it had not anticipated He Ao predicting its move.
He Ao flashed a smile at it.
But what He Ao didn’t notice was that behind him, a sharp shard from a porcelain plate was hurtling towards his neck.
Bang—
A gunshot rang out, and the porcelain plate in the sky shattered instantly.
At the same time, He Ao pressed the stun gun.
Bright electric light flashed within the black fog for an instant, and the whole black fog stiffened, then suddenly contracted into a black sphere.
He Ao quickly waved the vial in his left hand, captured the sphere inside, and swiftly capped the vial with the cork hidden beneath the stun gun.
The whole process was seamless.
The objects in the sky fell swiftly.
The pitch-dark orb exploded within the test tube but failed to break through the confines of the cork, simply transforming into a black fog that filled the tube.
Soon after, the black fog quickly condensed back into an orb, suspended in the center of the test tube.
As expected, this test tube could contain transcendent items.
Once the black fog had reformed into an orb, it seemed to lose the ability to interfere with the outside world, although it’s also possible the test tube was obstructing it.
He Ao stowed away the test tube and looked in the direction of the large iron gate.
Liu Nan slowly put away the hunting rifle and showed He Ao a smile, “I’m actually blind; I didn’t see anything, so no need for you to silence me.”
She was referring to the test tube He Ao had put away.
“What brings you back?”
He Ao looked at her with a smile.
“I suddenly realized this hunting rifle might still work with some tinkering.
My grandfather used to have an old one just like it, but it was turned in later.”
Liu Nan put away the hunting rifle.
The two glanced at each other and both chuckled.
“I’m still somewhat useful, right?
Not that weak?”
“Are you always so competitive?”
“Of course, I’ve been the top of my class since kindergarten.”
“I can see that, that shot wasn’t bad, worth a meal.”
“So, I guess for the other meal I owe you, I’ll have to wait in line?”
“Naturally, rules shouldn’t be broken.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, have you never had a girlfriend?”
“Girlfriend?
Too expensive, I don’t need one.”
······
“Awesome!”
Liu Nan could only give a thumbs up.
Chatting along the way, the two reached the gateway, and Liu Nan gazed at the quiet night outside.
The dark clouds in the sky had cleared at some point, revealing the pristine moonlight and the dazzling stars.
In this city, it was only in these dark suburban areas that one could barely see the night sky.
“So, does this make us friends now?”
Liu Nan brushed a lock of hair from her forehead and suddenly asked softly.
“Friends?” He Ao thought about it, he had hardly had any friends from childhood to adulthood, and he wasn’t sure what defined a friend, “I guess so.”
After this incident, the sense of strangeness between them had diminished a lot.
After all, they had entrusted their backs to each other, although most of the time, it was Liu Nan acting as the drag.
Rustling sounds came from behind, and He Ao turned his head to see the young man who was lying on the ground slowly stand up, dazed.
Then, he saw He Ao looking at him, straightened up, and fell down again.
It took about another three or four minutes before Zhang Ansha and Captain Liu finally arrived, albeit late.
“Kid, are you alright?
Why did you turn off your phone?
We were halfway there when the location signal disappeared; if we hadn’t kept the last location, where would we have found you?”
Liu Zheng rushed up to He Ao as soon as he walked over.
By now, He Ao’s clothes had already been torn apart in the fight, and his jeans were ripped halfway.
“I’m fine, Captain Liu, I’m still alive and kicking,” He Ao spun around, gave an apologetic smile, and then pointed at Liu Nan, “She might need an extra piece of clothing.”
Liu Nan, due to less fighting, was relatively well-protected; her sweater was mostly intact with just some tears, revealing the white undergarment inside.
The black stockings wrapping her long legs had snagged during quick movements, tearing some holes and showing the pale skin underneath as well as some minor scratches.
Liu Nan understood that He Ao was trying to get Captain Liu to leave, so she obediently stepped forward to him, “Uncle, may I borrow your phone?
I want to call home and let them know I’m safe.”
Meanwhile, He Ao wrapped his arm around Zhang Ansha’s shoulder, leading him to where ‘Bull’ lay on the ground,
“Come on, it’s time to settle accounts.”
