Chapter 910: Out with the Old, In with the New!

The eyeball stared fixedly at him and said in a low voice, “Who are you, exactly?!”

Lynn rested his chin against the gun barrel, tapping it lightly as he smiled. “Haven’t you all figured it out already? Of course I’m a direct descendant of the Desire Mother Tree. If you can get in touch with her, I guarantee that the moment she hears my name, she’ll come rushing over, unable to hold herself back, so I can serve her properly, her adorable child. Heh heh heh.”

Serve her? What kind of service?

The Flesh and Blood Humanoids’ expressions all shifted slightly.

Even the densest among them could hear the deep disrespect in his tone toward the second Root of their Flesh and Blood Cult. This was absolutely not how a child should speak to their Mother Goddess.

The eyeball stared fixedly at him. “What exactly are you after? If you came for us, then judging by the strength you just displayed, I don’t think you needed to meet us face-to-face at all, did you?”

Lynn’s smile brimmed with delight, the corners of his mouth curling upward. “Of course I did. If you could cheerfully escort me to your Base and make a nice, pleasant deal with me, then I’d definitely wait until we got there before wiping you all out in one go. Who attacks halfway through the trip? Besides…”

Lynn reached into the vessel, grabbed a Parasite Beast, gave it a shake, and tucked it into his coat.

He adjusted his Monocle, its lens reflecting a mysterious glint.

“I still need these bugs of yours to complete my task. If they get smashed, that’d be a terrible loss, wouldn’t it? And with the amount of Aberrations you have, there ought to be more than one place where you keep these bugs, right?”

“Right?”

His smile grew more and more unsettling, and his gaze turned icy.

In an instant, the eyeball’s stare became frigid.

“Attack!”

At almost the same moment, countless streams of information flickered across the neural networks. The Bio-armament of the Aberrations summoned to the scene instantly synchronized with the entire Mass of Flesh and Blood, and the flesh walls around Lynn and the others began to writhe.

It was as if the whole Chamber had suddenly become the digestive tract of some creature. Highly corrosive pus began oozing from the walls, while the walls on all sides steadily contracted toward them, as though they meant to wrap them up tight, then grind and squeeze them apart bit by bit.

“Internal Bio-armament, digestive organs deployed. Defense and flesh regeneration efficiency increased to 300%. Spatial structure preliminarily locked. Corrosive pus deployed. Muscle contraction in progress.”

The Flesh and Blood Humanoid at the front stared fixedly at the monitoring screen.

He watched as the Aberrations’ flesh gradually compressed their available space. This Bio-armament was a top-grade model they had bought for a fortune on the black market. For creatures that forcibly fought their way inside during battle, this kind of Bio-armament was practically hell.

They had even used it to ambush and kill one of their own high-ranking leaders. After dumping the thing on the black market, they had made a fortune.

With regeneration and defense both boosted to 300 percent, if the targets couldn’t break through the encirclement completely in a short time, it wouldn’t be long before everything inside the Chamber was dissolved and broken down!

That was one of the reasons they had dared to let him in!

“I’d like to see whether you really have what it takes to walk out of here alive!” The Flesh and Blood Humanoid sneered, his gaze growing ever more greedy and feverish.

…

【Warning! Warning! Internal space is being compressed. Threat level: 100%.】

As the System alerts kept sounding in their ears, Yin Yi hurriedly backed away, watching the flesh and viscous corrosive fluid squeeze in from every direction. A drop landed on Lynn’s wheelchair and instantly ate a huge hole through it.

The bugs in the vessel were also making sharp, squealing cries as they dissolved, as though each one were a baby being burned alive.

“Mr. Lynn! What should we do?!”

Yin Yi trembled.

But Lynn was still smiling. He adjusted his Monocle, slowly rose from his wheelchair, and casually tossed the revolver to the frightened Yin Yi beside him. The corners of his mouth curled up as he removed his gloves and said, “Here, shoot me anywhere you like. Just don’t hit me in the head. I need some stimulating pain.”

Yin Yi jolted and gripped the gun with trembling hands. “S-stimulating pain? Mr. Lynn, are you into some kind of… special stuff? This really doesn’t seem like the right time for that!”

Lynn froze, then burst out laughing. He grinned, clearly delighted by her choice of words, and pinched the brim of his hat. “No! This is exactly the right time, so go ahead and hurt me, little Yin Yi! The more it hurts, the faster I can Charge! Come on! Come on! Shoot me anywhere you like!!”

Lynn flung his arms open with gusto.

Yin Yi was on the verge of tears.

Why had Mr. Lynn only been normal for a little while before turning perverted again?!

Was she really supposed to shoot?!

Did she have to shoot?!

“Then I… I’m… shooting!”

Yin Yi squeezed her eyes shut and, trembling all over, finally pulled the trigger with both hands. A startled squeak escaped her.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

【Ding! Your (BEEP—) (muted) has suffered devastating damage. All your Pain has been converted, and your M Charge has reached max!】

【Ding! Congratulations, you have triggered the achievement: The Abstinent Holy Warrior. You have received 200 base experience points.】

Congratulations, you have received permanent bonuses: Desire Strike resistance +5%, Willpower +5%, mental energy +10, firing speed -1%, stamina +10, Morality +5, Happiness -10.

Zuo Zuo: “(ΩДΩ) Waah!”

Lynn: “(((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))!!”

Hearing the gunshot, Yin Yi opened her eyes in shock. The first thing she saw was the gaping wound in a certain part of Lynn’s body.

Her gaze instantly went blank.

Then, in an instant, she was so shocked that every hair seemed to stand on end. She rushed over in a panic and cried, “I’m sorry!! I’m sorry, Mr. Lynn!! I didn’t mean to! I really didn’t mean to!! It’s broken!! It’s broken!! Waaah!!”

But Lynn waved a hand grandly, lifted his head, and stood leaning against the wheelchair with grim resolve. “It’s fine. Out with the old, in with the new! As a man who stands tall between heaven and earth, who hasn’t had his balls blown off a few times? It’s only a couple of inches, nothing worth mentioning. But your aim really is incredible. You aimed high and hit low, with such astonishing accuracy. You filled my Charge right up in one shot!”
