Chapter 1009: 1007: The Fourth Disaster

Chapter 1009: 1007: The Fourth DisasterNot only was William feeling excited, but Yi Chen, who followed behind, was equally thrilled.

However, the sources of their excitement differed.

William was excited by acquiring new knowledge and drawing closer to the Fourth Disaster, while Yi Chen was thrilled by the intense malice, or perhaps the killing impulse he’d encountered for the first time.

Throughout all the targets Yi Chen had slain, never had he encountered such intense and repulsive malice,

to the extent that the ten fingers of his hands began to lightly twitch,

and the ’mask’ sewn into the lining of his clothes trembled along with Yi Chen’s killing intent, eager to be worn on his face.

After William finished inspecting the failed and dead test subjects, he took back an umbrella from Lene’s hands and pointed forward with his other hand.

"Let’s go, let’s continue deeper~"

Yet, there were many more abandoned laboratories piled with failures. After passing through several rooms, the space before them suddenly expanded, accompanied by the sound of orderly footsteps.

"Oh? Is this the human screening area?"

What appeared before them was a larger underground factory,

with many robotic arms connected at the top, transferring television devices that reached their cycle limit here,

inserting an oil-filled drainage tube into the TV’s back, forcing the ’actors’ from the screen to the ground through continuous liquid injection.

The robotic arms then fitted them with a type of metal cap, inducing them to stand through electric stimulation, and line up unconsciously for a full inspection.

Researchers with camera-modified heads and clad in white coats analyzed these individuals, providing the best modification plans.

If there were individuals unsuitable for modification, they’d be entirely dismantled, retaining useful limbs and organs for the use of superior modifications.

The factory had four different doors, with no need to analyze which one led to the disaster,

as the researchers here, like previous maintenance workers, had their spines connected to a special cable, all pointing in the same direction, toward a special iron door.

Though the iron door was covered in rust, it was monitored by at least three cameras, and a thick malice seeped from its cracks like oil.

William stared at the door solemnly, "Malice seeping out like a liquid. This room likely contains the Fourth Disaster... It’s so intense that my Abyss Transfer can’t pass through this door directly.

Unlocking it directly poses a high risk of discovery.

These modified beings should have a deep ’bond’ with the Fourth Disaster, even the Education would be detected.

It’s not ideal to start a fight before seeing the Fourth Disaster in person, as it’d lead us into a passive position. Yi, Lene, any ideas?"

Lene shook his head;he wasn’t skilled at stealth, and if William couldn’t manage, he definitely couldn’t.

Yi Chen offered the best solution,

"Wait."

This was his go-to method before killing. It didn’t require any technique, just silently waiting in the dark for the right moment.

William understood instantly, giving a thumbs up.

The researchers with cables attached to their backs should return in the direction the cables extended once their work was done.

However, this wait lasted a full ten hours.

rated the membrane, entering the deepest mysterious lab.

The opened iron door quickly closed, leaving no time to consider whether crossing the membrane would be discovered—they had to follow through boldly, and if exposed, initiate a battle immediately.

"Ready!"

The trio entered the giant laboratory inside.

The Total Malice reached its peak, even forming oily stains naturally on their clothing surfaces.

The sight before them stunned all three simultaneously, even William widening his eyes, as the image was overwhelmingly shocking.

About the size of a football stadium, the final lab.

Researchers shifting back here were lifted through back-cable pulls, suspended from a circular dome above,

besides them, tens of thousands of successfully modified [Recorders] were suspended there as well.

Each bizarre and assigned with specific duties, maintaining this secret underground facility and ensuring the normal operation of all tapes.

The cables attached to their backs converged at the center, clustered through a gigantic ring bundle, descending vertically,

connected to the ’giant’ at the lab’s core,

about a hundred meters long,

with all cables inserted into his back, maintaining a standing position mid-air, arms slightly extended.

The giant’s front body pores were all open, continually exuding oil like sweat, flowing into the subterranean region, sustaining the life activities of all modified beings, malice overflowing.

"This is... the Fourth Disaster?!"
