Chapter 82: God's Original Code
Chapter 82: God's Original Code
As Lu Dan ran, he saw a man standing in the center of the threshing ground. He was wearing a crisp white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, exuding the air of a refined scoundrel.
"A perfect petri dish." The doctor in the white coat looked around. "I am the 'eye,' and also the god who gave you new life."
He raised his hand, palm up, and gently grasped at the void.
A card gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light appeared out of thin air at his fingertips.
Lu Dan's consciousness trembled violently at this moment. The strange pattern on the card was extremely similar to the card that another security guard had dropped when he finished the script for "The Unmanned Schoolhouse".
A chill ran straight to the top of his head; the several instances he had experienced seemed to connect.
"Transform." The doctor in the white coat uttered two words, and the card in his hand instantly disintegrated, transforming into a huge, still frantically spinning eyeball.
The eyeballs floated in mid-air, their pupils reflecting the distorted image of the entire village.
"Boom!"
The earth began to groan, and something enormous was awakening beneath its crust.
The doctor in the white coat held up the eyeballs, his voice filled with fervor: "The old shell is too fragile. The eyes need a vessel, they need the most perfect twins to bear this great divinity."
"The selection process begins!"
Two pale beams of light shot out from the eyeballs, precisely locking onto the two little girls at the very front of the crowd.
Lu Dan felt his feet leave the ground, and excruciating pain was taking place—a torture in which his soul was being deeply torn apart and forcibly stitched back together.
He watched helplessly as Yao Yao next to him painfully tilted her head back in the pillar of light, the skin on her neck splitting open, the blood evaporating before it could even spurt out.
"Pfft—"
Yao Yao's head detached from her body and flew towards her eyeballs, drawn by the beam of light.
At the same time, Yao Yao's headless body began to grow taller and mutate. Her white dress was pulled into a wide theatrical robe by some force, and her originally thin body instantly became fuller—a white-clad headless god was born.
Lu Dan's perspective is even more terrifying.
He felt a weight on his neck, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
Yao Yao's head slammed heavily onto his shoulder, and countless fleshy buds grew wildly, forcibly connecting the two heads together.
At this moment, thoughts became chaotic and volatile, two souls squeezed into one body, with nothing but screams and a desire for destruction.
Yao Yao's clothes were stained red with blood, and her body began to swell.
The red-clad, two-headed deity has returned to his rightful place.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect!" The doctor in the white coat exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the two newly born monsters before him.
"Go, use your divine power to turn this village into our eternal paradise!"
Two out-of-control gods began to wreak havoc in the village, houses were toppled like paper, and villagers were trampled into mincemeat in fear.
Amidst this hellish scene, a roar exploded like thunder: "Stop!"
A young and agile figure rushed out from the chaotic crowd.
The young Ye Jianguo lacked the composure he would later develop, but possessed a fierce energy that seemed determined to tear the sky apart.
He was carrying a red fire axe, the blade gleaming coldly in the firelight, and a pale-faced young woman was attached to him.
"Stay away! As long as I don't die, these things can't hurt you!" Ye Jianguo roared, then charged at the white coat suspended in mid-air with his axe.
This was a suicidal charge with no suspense whatsoever.
The doctor in the white coat didn't even move his hand; with just a glance, he sent Ye Jianguo flying time and time again, leaving him covered in blood.
"Ants."
But Ye Jianguo is like a cockroach; he gets knocked down time and time again, but he gets back up again and again.
Just as the white-coated doctor's arrogance revealed a flaw, Ye Jianguo seized the opportunity.
To maintain the operation of the two gods, the suspended eyeball is now exposing its core, which is connected to countless rays of light.
"Go to hell!" Ye Jianguo used all his strength to throw the fire axe in his hand like a javelin.
"Snap!"
The axe struck the tendrils that connect the eyeball to the light source.
His eyeballs trembled violently, and the man in the white coat let out a scream before being swallowed by the void.
Ye Jianguo pounced like a cheetah and grabbed the falling "eye".
His face was covered in blood. He glanced back at Zhang Min, who was hiding behind the rubble, his eyes softening for a moment before turning resolute.
The next second, he grabbed the still-twitching eyeball with both hands and stabbed it hard into his own chest.
"boom!"
White light, white light that devours everything.
Lu Dan felt as if the whole world was collapsing, mountains were breaking apart, space was displaced, and time was being forcibly torn in two.
He witnessed an extremely shocking scene: the two gods who were originally together were forcibly separated, and the headless god in white fell into eternal darkness along with the collapsing space—the dark side.
The red-clad, two-headed god he resided in was left on the sunlit ruins—the sunny side.
That's the origin of Shuangshan Village, but that's not the point.
Although Lu Dan's consciousness was fading, his eyes remained fixed on the eye, which was the core of the explosion. At the moment of the explosion, the eyeball could not withstand the enormous force and split in two.
One half of it, carrying enormous energy, shot into Zhang Min's body not far away, like a meteor.
The immense impact sent her flying backward, crashing directly into the newly risen dividing line of the back mountain.
Lu Dan could see the other half clearly; it transformed into a black streak of light, crossed the back mountain, and flew straight to the other side of the mountain.
"Buzz!"
The instant Lu Dan was forcibly ejected from this memory fragment, a massive, chaotic flow of information violently poured into his mind along with the brief divine connection:
[Twin mechanics loaded.]
Rule 1: One Body, Two Forms. All participants will be replicated into two bodies, one on the Yin side and the other on the Yang side.
[Rule Two: Consciousness Twisting. Each player's consciousness is unique and is transferred between two bodies via the magnetic field of their "eyes" as day and night change.]
[Rule Three: Memory Interruption. Due to the shattered "eye," the transmission channel is unstable, and memory data cannot be automatically synchronized.]
Rule Four: Dormant Trust. A body under unconscious control will either enter a forced dormant state or act according to subconscious instincts.
[Warning: NPC Zhang Min is in a state of partial data corruption due to the fusion of half an "eye" within her body. Her memories are fragmented, and her data will only be temporarily reconstructed when the Yin and Yang forces converge.]
The information flow abruptly stopped, and a strong sense of weightlessness washed over him. Lu Dan felt as if he had been thrown down from a height of ten thousand meters by an invisible hand.
All the images faded away like the tide: red clothes, white clothes, an arrogant white coat, and the ruthless Ye Jianguo who used himself as a sealing vessel.
Only one thought remained, flashing wildly through his mind: the puzzle pieces for completing the game were almost complete.
The other half of the eye is somewhere in the back mountains, and Zhang Min is the living radar.
