Chapter 25: The Fissure Inside
Chapter 25: Internal cracks
Love me.
People, love me.
I want your flesh, your heart, everything about you. I am greedy and insatiable, always hungry and demand more. I long for every kiss, every word, every heart that I have occupied, to fill the missing hole in my heart.
And the reward is...every soul that I swallowed by me, I put them in my chest and cherish them as a part of myself.
Walking in the wilderness, looking for the lost half of the soul. Before this, I will shamelessly rob and deceive everyone who approaches me. Because I am so lonely, I need to use your body temperature to warm my cold heart.

Since the collar was lifted, as the surveillance seemed to have begun to slack, the three people, who were still in good condition, began to explore the base everywhere and wait for an opportunity to find a way to escape.
In his spare time when drawing the drawing, Gaiqi and Tina assembled two trigger shocks using small parts that Su Jing stolen from all over the place. If they directly touch the skin, they could knock down a burly man in half a second.
Su Jing has been used as a human-shaped power converter by Jack these days, charging the "key". He comes back half-dead every day and is responsible for bringing dinner to the two ladies. If he had not been able to watch Xiao Tina, the second popular character in the Borderlands, and experience the fun of fighting with her, Su Jing, who has no patience, would have been crazy and set fire all the way out. As for Jack's plan and Ivan's strategy - does it matter?
Fortunately, God seemed to hear his wild roar in his heart. Just when Su Jing's thirty-day freedom time was only five days left, the negotiation between Jack and Ivan finally had a result.
[Mr. Su Jing, Jack wants us to go to the Hero Crater to negotiate in person, and then he wants us to return half of the planet to exchange your lives.]
"What a joke... we three small characters can get half a Pandora's life? You won't agree, right?"
[Mr. Ivan has agreed. The technology united forces are not very strong in its control over Pandora. What Jack wants in this negotiation is actually a ceasefire agreement, allowing him to obtain legal mining rights on the planet Pandora... In fact, if he really risked another full-scale war with us, we would not have a good way... After we drove him out last time, Jack was more cautious than before. I can be sure that the Jack you come into contact with on weekdays is just a clone. He especially likes to play this trick.]
The early stage of the garrison of the Technology Union fought with Jack many times. With the advantage of excellent single-player combat ability, he organized several beheading operations to assassinate Jack, but he killed him again and again, and he was only annihilated another substitute of Jack.
"Then you want to... you can't compromise with him, right? If this is really the result, then I will take Gaiqi and Tina out now."
【…Haha. You are overly worried.】
Selina's voice sounded a little low.
[You have been charging the "key" for half a month. Tell me, how long do you think it will take to fill it up to the point where you summon the "samurai"?]
"...It's almost done. I originally thought I would have to charge for a long time, but I didn't expect... For some reason, judging from the situation I perceived, the charging progress of the key was almost saturated, and I just added another effort in the end."
[It's an "angel". When we rescued the "angel", Jack had used his daughter to carry out a recharge plan for a long time. And we probably succeeded on the eve of his success. So, Mr. Su Jing, what do you think about this negotiation?]
"Jack will never negotiate sincerely." Su Jing concluded, "This person is extremely tiny and will definitely retaliate. He will never have the idea of cooperating with you about the technology alliance that drove him out of Pandora. He is probably trying to find a way to catch you all in one place."
[Jack asked us to negotiate at the Hero Crater, and that was to think we didn't know the "Samurai" summoning method... As you said, he wanted to kill us all in one go. According to my estimate, it was at the crater, using the key to summon the samurai who was sleeping in the magma, and then use the power of the "Samurai" to kill Mr. Ivan, and then use the help of that four-star... No, the large biological weapon may have reached five stars, and he wants to use this powerful force to reign over Pandora.]
"What should I do? Do you have any plans?"
[It's very simple. Jack hides himself well on weekdays and only uses a substitute to do things. Only when summoning the "Samurai", he will never feel at ease using the copying person, and will be present in person to preside over the summoning ceremony. Our plan is to go to the appointment and then kill Jack.]
"What should I do with the 'samurai'... I think the 'samurai' in reality is not as easy as in the game, right? Five-star rating, according to the level division system, is enough to destroy the military force alone. Where do you get so strong and confident?"
[Please believe in Mr. Ivan's combat effectiveness, and also in the technology of our joint technology.]
Selina's tone was very sure, as if she was stating a fait accompli.
Therefore, my current task is very simple, which is to cooperate with Jack to charge the key, let the ambitious man reveal his flaws, and then cooperate with the united forces of technology to kill him with one blow.
Just as Su Jing recalled the conversation just now, an engineer from the Haiberian Company came over in the corridor. The man was wearing a standard repair mask. When he saw Su Jing, the man nodded slightly.
As the two passed by, the maintenance worker quietly stuffed a card into his hand.
Su Jingtou didn't turn around for a moment, and returned to the dormitory with the food box, and then placed the card on the lid of Gai Qi's lunch box.
"……………” Gaiqi glanced at the card, then silently put the card into her hand, and then when her hand was released, there was nothing inside.
"Thank you."
"Need not."
After saying this conversation without end, the two of them shook their hands gently, and a friend reminder appeared in Su Jing's mind.
【Three-star adventurer Gaiqi applies to become your friend】
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
【confirm】
Considering the convenience of the action, Su Jing applied for advance payment to Selina and prepayed a three-star blank character card to use.
Before that, he had joined the three-star adventurer, Aixton, one of the second generation of secret hunters who had been infiltrated. Aixton was originally a member of the mercenary army and had been secretly exploring the advance base of Heberian. After Su Jing and the other three were captured, Aixton obtained the information of Heberian's base as fast as possible, and screened out the one that was most likely to imprison the three:
Excluding several bases that have been proven and do not match Su Jing's description, Exton finally targeted a secret base deep underground in the vast desert area of the south of the planet, code-named "Black List", and is mainly responsible for the projects that are confidential.
At this point, Su Jing understood why the base has to turn off its lights every night, not to save energy, but to reduce heat dissipation. During the day, the desert temperature is high, so the base can operate normally, but at night, the desert temperature drops sharply and the temperature emitted by the base is too high, so it is easy to be detected by the satellite's heat source detection system, so all unnecessary power must be turned off.
[Mr. Exton has found out that the personal equipment we seized is placed on the innermost floor of the base weapon room. As long as Jack appears in the volcano and summons the warriors, we can give them a fierce blow here unexpectedly.]
[Wait... If Jack wants to negotiate with Mr. Ivan, he will bring us three together.]
Gai Qi closed her eyes and used the communication system between the character cards to discuss tactics with Su Jing.
[Um...this is true. If the equipment is not retrieved, then the three of us will have no resistance at the beginning of the Volcanic War... If Jack really believes in the control of his collar over us, he should hand over the equipment back to us and let us attack Mr. Ivan and the others together.]
After all, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and Gaiqi and Su Jing are not very smart people. After discussing for a long time, they couldn't think of a good plan, so they had to decide to take a step. Tina, who was standing beside her, watched the two of them sitting opposite each other without talking, but just flirting with each other, completely treating her as nothing. She was so angry that she stopped eating and wanted to go out for a walk when she threw the plate.
But she walked to the door and pressed the button to open the door a few times, but the door didn't move at all, and then she felt something was wrong.
Before, because the three of them had been very obedient, Jack also gave them superficial freedom, allowing them to walk in the base, and applying for reasonable material needs while completing the work.
When Gaiqi was making a portable folding space generator, she applied for some experimental equipment from the above, and Jack also approved it, but all the tests must be completed in the designated laboratory, and there is a surveillance camera record throughout the process, so that she can't help but feel free to touch something and come back to use it.
"Open the door! Open the door! I'm going to the toilet!!" Tina kicked the door twice with her feet and shouted at the camera, "I know you can see it! If you don't want to watch me stuff my shit on the camera, open the door for me!!"
[Wow, what a disobedient little guy. This is handsome Jack, one of the richest people in the five major galaxies. If you can do such an rude thing in public, then I will change the camera again... Oh my god! What are you doing! This little guy really stuffed the shit on the camera!! Shit, I really have to change to a new camera... Oh my god, after being disturbed by this little guy, I forgot what I want to say... By the way, Su Jing, you, only you, come out. I want you to go out with me to do something tonight.]
Do something?
Su Jing watched Tina continue to pour chocolate drinks on the camera while putting on her coat.
Chapter completed!
