Chapter 133: Elon, you're a funny man

Clunk!

  Elon threw the box on the floor.

  The frozen box, the moment it fell to the ground, shattered on the spot.

  What's inside is directly exposed.

  Elon's eyes glazed over as the box stored, surprisingly, a human head.

  The man's head was wet, and there was a puddle of sticky yellow liquid running on the floor.

  Take a closer look.

  In the yellow liquid, there were countless small worms that were wriggling.

  Immediately followed by an incomparably disgusting stench, even Elon couldn't help but cover his nose and take two steps back this time.

  That stinks.

  It's so anticlimactic!

  "This thing, it couldn't have been shrunk in a box for hundreds of billions of years, could it?"

  If an unusual person smells it.

  I'm afraid I'll just be smoked to death.

  This was still the case when it had been frozen by the Ice Sword.

  The cold inhibits molecular activation, or the place would stink even more.

  No exaggeration.

  The stench can blanket an entire underwater base in an instant.

  "No wonder it's viral."

  Elon held his breath and said, "Something this dirty is a seedbed for viruses and bacteria."

  He scanned the head with his system.

  [Rotten heads.]

  "Those who are seen by him, upon death, will be transformed into undead and guard him forever."

  Seeing this message, Elon immediately looked down at the heads.

  He saw you?

  He's dead. All that's left is his head. How can he see?

  Just when Elon was wondering.

  The head's eyes, suddenly, blinked.

  "Okay."

  Still blinking, surely you can see it, it's your own pattern that's small.

  "Now we also know where those ghosts and monsters came from."

  Even more, he understood how Zhang Shan dared to run back again and lay his hands on himself.

  Turns out it was trying to guard the strange head.

  "Ding~"

  The system's voice rang out.

  "Current mission: investigate underwater base."

  "Twilight Cloud lied to us, and the birth of the giant monkfish, as well as the murder of the personnel, is linked to the mysterious virus."

  "We found a box in the tundra carrying a large amount of virus and holding a human head."

  "Anyone who touches the box dies and becomes a slave to it."

  "Who left the box?"

  "Perhaps the only way to find the truth is to understand why the underwater base was built here."

  The blue dotted line reappears, guiding Elon out of the area.

  To learn more, it's important to know the reason why the underwater base was built here.

  Why are they mining the tundra here?

  Did it start from the beginning.

  I knew about this underwater base.

  Elon immediately left along the dotted line, returned to the stairwell, and leapt, jumping more than ten meters straight up to the first floor.

  The stairwell was destroyed, but it couldn't stop him.

  Continue along the blue dotted line.

  Toodles.

  Finally Elon stopped in front of a room.

  Look up at the sign for the room.

  "Conference room."

  Twisted the doorknob and didn't open the door.

  There seems to be something behind it, blocking the door.

  Elon pushed a little harder and the door finally opened with a thud behind it.

  Just pushing the door open, Elon saw a body lying on the floor.

  It's a woman's body.

  But she was soaking wet, and she was still cloaked in a scowl.

  That was her against the door?

  Elon looked behind the door, only to find "hate" carved all over the panel.

  A word that was repeated dozens of times to the point that the door panel was filled with it.

  She died standing up.

  And it was a slow death, so much so that she died full of resentment and took it all out on the door panel.

  "Underwater research, played by you as a werewolf kill."

  Elon said so, noticing a nameplate on the woman's chest.

  It had her name written on it.

  Zhang Cai.

  The blue dotted line didn't point to the woman, but to the bookshelf not far away.

  Elon immediately walks over and notices a folder glowing.

  Good thing there's the Interactable Item Hints feature.

  Otherwise it's incredibly difficult to find an item in a shelf, hundreds of books, and dozens of folders.

  Taking out the folder, Elon glanced at the names.

  "Underwater Research Program."

  "Under these waters, there are the remains of an advanced civilization."

  "According to the records, they are most likely the Atlantean civilization that suddenly disappeared."

  "They hold the means to eternal life."

  Advanced civilization, immortality?

  Elon instantly understood that this underwater base, was used to search for the Atlantean civilization.

  To find the way to eternal life.

  That box, that's what the civilization of Atlantis left behind!

  Elon closed the folder.

  He had just put the folder back when he noticed another one glowing.

  "And?"

  Elon took the folder out and looked through it again.

  "Fake!"

  "This water

  "Rather, it's a land of demons!"

  "We've been duped!"

  "Do not open the gates of hell!"

  The reporter is Zhang Cai.

  Next page.

  The reporter has changed for the worse.

  "The Zhang Cai team member was mentally disturbed and wrote nonsense, and now he has been sent home for treatment."

  "Underwater research continues. "

  "We're making good progress."

  "It's almost time to find Atlantis and then find the way to eternal life!"

  Reported by - Twilight Cloud.

  Zhang Cai, the name is familiar.

  Elon closed the file and turned to look at the body on the floor.

  Her name, is Zhang Cai.

  What was sent home?

  It's clear that he was brutally murdered.

  And the murderer, obviously, could only be Kurenai.

  From her report, it's possible she was delirious before she died.

  "I didn't think that after only a little while, you would be able to find this place."

  A female voice suddenly came from the doorway's position.

  Elon looked toward the door.

  It's twilight clouds.

  Her face was a little white and she was looking at herself sorrowfully.

  Kurenai walked into the room and looked at Zhang Cai's body on the floor, then said to Elon, "See this body."

  "She was a lot like you when she was alive."

  "She's also full of justice and always meddlesome."

  "But now, she's dead."

  She smiled, "And you, too, will die."

  Elon shook his head and said, "You're wrong."

  "First of all, I'm not going to die."

  "Secondly, I'm not full of justice or meddling."

  "I'm just doing what needs to be done."

  How can you complete hidden quests and get better rewards if you don't investigate?

  "You're funny."

  Kurenai laughed, "You're much more interesting than that guy, just now."

  "You're wrong again."

  "I think you'd have more fun together."

  Elon laughed, "Come to me now, to die?"

  "Hahaha."

  Kurenai laughed out loud, "You really are a funny guy, so good at telling jokes."

  She eased closer to Elon and took the file.

  Glancing at it, she tore the report she'd written right out.

  The paper was in her hand, burning instantly.

  When it burned to ashes, she laughed again.

  "I didn't think that you'd let me have it so easily!"
