Chapter 343: Experimental Record Handbook
Flanda’s sleeping palace did not seem to be within the territory of Bush Cricket City. At the Courier Mole Cricket’s travel speed, it took over half a day to reach the destination.
Such an ultra-long-distance ride did not raise the fare. It was still ten thousand Spirit Essence, and Lin Xun could not help but sigh that the hellish game was finally having a conscience for once.
[…]
[You leave the abdominal cavity. A brisk breeze rushes toward you. Having not seen sunlight for a long time, you cannot help raising a hand to shield your eyes, and only after quite a while do you adapt.]
[The sky is a clear expanse of blue, dotted with white clouds. Before you lies an endless verdant grassland. The breeze brushes over the grass, swaying emerald shadows.]
[Strangely, you do not, as you imagined, smell any rich fragrance of fresh grass.]
[In the distance, somewhat abruptly, stands a splendid palace, utterly out of place with the surrounding scenery.]
[Do you want to head to Flanda’s sleeping palace?]
This meeting with Flanda, the initiative was in the other party’s hands, and the final outcome was very likely that the two sides would tear off all pretense. Or rather, Flanda would not give him any face at all, and would execute the one who dared rebel against the Wet Nurse right on the spot.
Lin Xun thought for a moment. He did not switch to the butler’s Shell, nor did he use Tuning Fluid to Ascend into a Shadow Dancer.The identity of Bush Cricket City’s acting manager was still useful. He could not expose his cover because of this.
And the other Shells did not possess the qualifications to meet Flanda. He might not even be able to enter the sleeping palace.
After weighing it over and over, he finally decided to use the Ninja Master’s Shell.
Facing Flanda, who had demigod or even god-level strength, the Ninja Master’s invisibility skill would definitely be seen through, but as long as he could infiltrate the palace and successfully meet Flanda, that would count as achieving his goal.
[You possess the Shell of Fire-Worshipping Heartless Ninja master!]
[You turn lightly. You open a pair of dim eyes, and your figure vanishes…]
[You maintain a stealth state and stride toward the splendid palace.]
[…]
[As you gradually draw closer to the palace, you discover something is off…]
[You originally thought the palace gates would certainly have guards watching them, yet you do not see a single person at the entrance.]
[You are extremely wary. You do not enter from the main gate, but instead circle to the side of the palace and climb through a window to enter…]
[The scene inside the palace shocks you. There are no luxurious furnishings here. Instead, it is filled with a dim aura like the ancient nest.]
[On the surface of the wall beside you are one after another vertical, undulating bone grooves, as if they are flesh tissue, faintly writhing, possessing powerful vitality.]
[Countless thick pipelines hang down from the palace dome, connecting to a gigantic sac at the very center of the palace.]
[Through the sac’s semi-transparent flesh membrane, you can vaguely see that it is filled with liquid, with a slender figure floating within.]
[You step forward and gradually see that figure clearly.]
[A naked girl hugs her knees and curls into a ball. You cannot see her face buried between her knees. You can only see her long hair rising and drifting.]
[The pipelines continuously inject pitch-black particles into the sac. The pitch-black particles merge into the transparent liquid like womb-fluid, dispersing into nothingness…]
[The girl’s body suddenly spasms. Her spine straightens, then arches backward into an extremely twisted angle.]
[You stare at the girl’s tightly shut eyes, yet exquisitely beautiful and familiar face, recognizing that she is the Flanda you want to meet.]
[Only this time, she completely lacks the overwhelming allure she had when you saw her last time.]
[She knits her brows tightly. Her face is filled with an expression of extreme agony. Her body keeps convulsing…]
[Although you do not understand what Flanda is doing right now, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, an excellent opportunity to assassinate Flanda who has no power to resist!]
[Do you want to launch an attack on Flanda?]
Lin Xun did not even think and pressed ‘No.’
“Heh, hellish game. The hook is too straight, the bait too salty. I’m not falling for it.”
[You realize that even if Flanda has no power to resist, you are absolutely not her match, and you decisively abandon the idea of assassinating her.]
[As the pitch-black particles keep being injected, Flanda’s expression grows ever more painful…]
[You stop looking at the sac, and notice that beside it there is a bone platform, with a pen and booklets placed on it…]
[You have discovered Experimental Record Handbook (Document)!]
[While Flanda has not yet awakened, you quickly skim through the experimental materials recorded in the handbook…]
[…]
[Experiment Name: First External Factor Fusion Experiment.]
[Experiment Purpose: Fuse a brand-new external life factor, thereby expanding one’s own factor dimension and seeking the possibility of transcendence.]
[Experiment Steps: Coordinate with cultivated womb-fluid, inject unknown external factor. The first experiment injects only one standard unit of the external factor, to observe vital sign response.]
[Experiment Result: Mild pain. With a body strength close to that of a god, unable to fuse the external factor, can only retain it in the body and coexist with the original life factor.]
[Experiment Conclusion: Thus far, no other adverse vital signs have been found. Judged that the mild pain is a rejection response. Unable to fuse external factor due to too low a degree of factor deciphering, injection dosage too small.]
[…]
[Experiment Name: Second External Factor Fusion Experiment.]
[…]
[Experiment Result: Moderate pain, accompanied by slight divine power fluctuations. Black unknown mottled patterns briefly appear on the body surface. Still unable to fuse external factor, can only remain in body and coexist.]
[Experiment Conclusion: The dimension rank of the external factor greatly surpasses Primordial Firefly. If it can be fully deciphered and perfectly fused, it is extremely likely to touch the edge of transcendence.]
[…]
[Experiment Name: Eighth External Factor Fusion Experiment.]
[…]
[Experiment Result: Severe pain, accompanied by intense divine power fluctuations. Black branch-and-leaf-like mottled patterns long appear on the body surface, briefly revealing Ascended limbs. Unable to fuse external factor, can only coexist.]
[Experiment Conclusion: The coexisting external factor has reached an initial critical threshold, causing the perfectly fused firefly factor to present an unstable reaction, briefly revealing bodily traits of Ascended limbs.]
[…]
[Experiment Name: Thirteenth External Factor Fusion Experiment.]
[…]
[Experiment Result: Intense pain, accompanied by divine power consumption and loss. Black branch-and-leaf mottled patterns at the left breast on the chest persist long-term and cannot fade. No longer reveals Ascended limbs, and also cannot actively display Ascended combat form. Unable to fuse external factor. External factor initially takes a dominant position among the factors within the body.]
[Experiment Conclusion: Need to increase the deciphering degree of the external factor, otherwise unable to fuse this factor. When the external factor coexists and accumulates in the body to the final critical value, factor disorder will occur, and may even produce factor collapse.]
[Nineteenth External Factor Fusion Experiment.]
[…]
[Experiment Result: Extreme pain, pain sensation persists. Divine power consumption and loss down to a lesser transcendent degree. Black branch-and-leaf mottled patterns spread to the right breast on the chest, occupying the entire chest. The subject loses Ascended combat form.]
[The external factor has taken a dominant position among the factors within the body, producing uncontrollable negative emotions, including but not limited to gluttony desire, slaughter desire, mating desire, and so on.]
[Experiment Conclusion: The external factor is extremely dangerous! Before fully deciphering this factor, end the experiment, and no longer attempt to fuse the external factor!]
[…]
[Experiment Name: Final Critical Value Experiment for Coexisting with External Factor.]
[Experiment Purpose: Test the final critical value of external factor coexisting within the body, record the ratio between this critical value and divine body strength, and ultimately calculate safe, initially out of control, severely out of control, death, and other coexistence dosage values.]
[Experiment Steps: Coordinate with cultivated womb-fluid… help me! Hurry and save me! I was forced! I’m about to die&）*%￥#@…]
[Note: The above experiment steps are incorrect, and have been crossed out!]
[Experiment Steps: Coordinate with cultivated womb-fluid, continuously inject external factor until all vital signs are lost.]
[Experiment Result: None]
[Experiment Conclusion: None]
[…]
[After reading this final experimental record, you turn to look at the gigantic sac at the center of the palace…]
[As the Extreme Evil factor continues to be injected, the transparent, clear cultivated womb-fluid is already a murky mass. You can only vaguely see Flanda’s pained expression, and that glaring, eye-stabbing malice tattoo on her chest!]
The final experiment was named the Final Critical Value Experiment for Coexisting with External Factor.
The final result of this experiment was that it would lead to Flanda’s death, and after Flanda died, who would record the unfilled experimental result and experimental conclusion?
Only one existence could force Flanda to complete a suicidal experiment, and that was the Desire Wet Nurse!
Lin Xun only felt a chill surge from the soles of his feet to the top of his skull, and cold sweat seeped out along his back.
[Will you destroy the sac to save Flanda, or immediately flee the palace?]
His instinctive reaction was to choose the latter!
The Desire Wet Nurse could force Flanda into a suicide experiment. Dealing with him, who was interfering with the experiment, would be effortless, would it not?
He was about to choose the latter, yet his whole body jolted, and he suddenly realized.
“No! This might be the only chance the hellish game is leaving me!”
“The only chance to oppose the Desire Wet Nurse!!”
Lin Xun went against his instincts, forcing himself to choose ‘Yes.’
[You take a deep breath. The Qi within your body surges and roars…]
[Dazzling sword light erupts in an instant!]
[The sharp sword light is as if you are within a cherry grove. A grim, killing cold wind blows past, and cherry petals wither and fall in flurries.]
[When the cherry blossoms have fallen away, a huge sword wound appears on the sac’s surface, blood spraying and splattering.]
[The sword wound is half an arm deep. It is still one attack away from completely breaking open the sac.]
[You hold your breath and focus, about to strike again, but see the sac wound writhing and healing rapidly. Supported by powerful vitality, the sac repairs itself in an instant, returning to normal!]
[The cultivated womb-fluid inside the sac is already pitch-black. You cannot see Flanda’s figure at all.]
“Hellish game, your damn uncle!”
Lin Xun knew there was no time. If he hesitated any longer, even if the Wet Nurse did not deal with him, there would be an Extreme Evil Flanda coming to kill him.
[You possess the Shell of Desire-Bearing Greedy Wolf Star Lord!]
[You form a sword seal with your hand. True essence surges and swells across your whole body!]
[Legendary skill Northern Dipper Heaven’s Sword Technique Manual activates!]
[The palace dome abruptly becomes a night-sky galaxy. Seven stars named Northern Dipper shine dazzlingly, brilliant starlight pouring down, gathering into the Star-Shifting Celestial Sword in your hands!]
[Weapon Trait One Sword Chills Fourteen Prefectures activates!]
[The celestial sword suddenly transforms from a three-foot azure blade into a sky-supporting great sword. The sword body erupts with blinding starlight, and slashes fiercely at the sac.]
[With a boom, the great sword cleaves through the sac. Pitch-black liquid pours out like a flood, and a naked body covered in slime surges out along with the torrent.]
[You form a sword seal. The Star-Shifting Celestial Sword becomes a three-foot azure blade and burrows beneath your feet.]
[You fly on the sword, swiftly yanking the unconscious girl out of the torrent…]
[You hold Flanda, turning into a streak of light, instantly piercing through the palace gates and fleeing outward…]
[Outside the palace, what verdant grassland, blue sky, and white clouds? All those beautiful scenes vanish completely, becoming the extremely oppressive underground space you are familiar with.]
[You fly on the sword to the edge of the space and blow the Courier Mole Cricket Summoning Short Flute…]
[You anxiously wait for the Courier Mole Cricket to appear, unable to resist looking back. The palace has long ceased to look like its original form, instead presenting a spherical shape like an ancient nest…]
[The Courier Mole Cricket did not leave this place too far. Before long, it responds to your call and burrows out of the ground.]
[You immediately hold Flanda and jump into the abdominal cavity, urging the Courier Mole Cricket to hurry and flee for its life.]
[The Courier Mole Cricket cries out once and does not move. You cannot help but kick it hard, quickly tossing out a Milk-Sap Matsutake.]
[The Courier Mole Cricket swallows the Milk-Sap Matsutake in one bite, and the flesh membranes on both sides slowly close…]
[At the instant the flesh membranes are about to close, you see through the gap that a figure is already standing at the nest entrance, at some unknown time.]
[The mature lady’s body is plump and alluring, her posture soft and graceful…]
[You stare blankly at that figure, forgetting everything, only feeling filthy desire surge and erupt, wishing you could immediately pin her beneath you and fiercely vent your desire…]
[The Courier Mole Cricket lets out a terrified cry. The flesh membranes close tightly, completely blocking your view, as it rapidly burrows underground…]
[…]
[…]
[When you come back to your senses, the flesh membranes on both sides of the abdominal cavity have already opened again, and the girl in your arms has vanished.]
[The thick, damp water vapor filling the air tells you that the Courier Mole Cricket has returned to the Forbidden Lake.]
[You hastily jump down from the abdominal cavity. On the lakeshore, the naked girl has her back to you, quietly looking at the cracked divine idol before her.]
[What she faces is not the Primordial Firefly idol, but that Desire Wet Nurse idol that has somehow been restored at some unknown time.]
[The girl slowly kneels to the divine idol and bows in reverent worship…]
[Your heart gradually sinks to the very bottom. Though you cannot see Flanda’s expression, her manner of doing this seems to indicate that your act of risking your life to save her had no meaning at all.]
[After the girl finishes worshiping, she slowly stands up…]
[But then she suddenly raises her bare foot, kicks the idol to the ground, and grinds down hard on the Wet Nurse’s head.]
[The idol shatters into countless tiny stones. Especially the Wet Nurse’s head, which is ground over and over beneath the bare foot until it becomes powder.]
[The girl suddenly turns her head back. A gaze full of malice stares at you dead-on, the branch-and-leaf tattoo representing malice on her breasts lush and rampant…]
“Hellish game, are you playing me?!”
Lin Xun blurted out. Without thinking, he was about to ride the Courier Mole Cricket and run.
[You turn and run. After taking only one step, your whole body stiffens, unable to move. An irresistible tremendous force forcibly turns your body back, making you face the girl.]
[You see that Flanda has already, at some unknown time, raised a hand and pointed at you. Her cruel gaze makes you cold to the bone.]
[You know disaster is upon you, and death is not far…]
[Flanda’s icy gaze actually begins to melt away, and malice recedes like a tide…]
[She lightly hooks her lips. Slowly, a smile appears in her eyes, that unfathomable smile, just like the way she looked when you first met.]
[Flanda lowers her hand. The tremendous force controlling you disappears, and you regain control of your body.]
Lin Xun blinked, finally reacting.
“…So I won the bet!”
At this moment, he felt utterly relieved, grateful that he did not run off alone, and instead rescued Flanda.
