Chapter 520: I Go, You Record

Chapter 520: Whoa, You Recorded That?

No matter how much the human body is strengthened, it cannot escape the limitations of being human. Just like Wu Yue, even if she could ascend, she would always be held back by her physical form.

But if a human soul and will were placed into a robot body created through advanced technology and new energy sources,

That's like using futuristic sci-fi to counter urban fantasy. As shown by how high-tech artillery could prevent ascension,

It’s clear that futuristic sci-fi has the clear advantage.

The bone monster represents the research direction closest to mechanical ascension.

In other words, the bone monster is Chu Cixie’s first phase in realizing the mechanization revolution of the human body.

Undoubtedly, he has already succeeded in this first phase.

What comes next is the second phase.

By studying the bone monster’s form of existence and bodily operations, the goal is to transfer human consciousness into a similarly fleshless machine body while maintaining normal human thought processes.

By then, not just the Order Realm, but even alien primitives would be within Chu Cixie’s reach.

This was as far as Shen Que's thoughts could take him; he wasn’t sure if his line of thinking was correct.

Moreover, with Wu Yue’s memory impaired and her spiritual power suppressed, he had to set aside elements outside this dungeon and share all his speculations about Future Biology with her.

Wu Yue blinked, looking at him in disbelief.

Shen Que was puzzled, “What’s wrong, baby?”

Wu Yue said, “I thought of these things too, but I have concrete information to support it. You’re so smart! How did you figure it out? Just by thinking? You’re incredible!”

Shen Que blinked; this was the first time his wife had praised his intelligence with stars in her eyes. However, he had much more external information to support his conclusions than Wu Yue did.

Shen Que was honest, “I’m not that smart.”

Wu Yue encouraged Shen Que, “You’re so good-looking and so smart—you should be more confident!”

Shen Que’s face flushed slightly. He was incredibly happy. Whether his wife had her memories or not, she always praised him. He really adored his wife.

Zhou Chuan was completely disgusted with these two, his contempt reaching its peak,

“You two, that’s enough!! This is an SSS-level story dungeon—it’s extremely dangerous, not a place for you to flirt!!”

Shen Que shot an icy glare at Zhou Chuan, who immediately backtracked, “Flirt away, flirt as much as you want! Whatever makes you happy!”

Wu Yue pretended not to hear, lowering her head to continue searching for more clues.

The place was filled with culture dishes containing various organs. Further inside was likely the actual live clinical research site of Future Biology.

Wu Yue looked at Zhou Chuan, “Call your ex-girlfriend over and let her charge ahead for love.”

Zhou Chuan, “...You’re really wicked.” Why not have your husband charge ahead for love instead!

Wu Yue, “According to typical storyline conventions, what’s behind here is likely either your parents being turned into monsters or her parents being turned into monsters. To transfer consciousness into machinery, it must involve a lengthy process, selecting individuals with the strongest, most resilient self-awareness.”

"If your father is a highly determined scientist who wants to avenge his wife and remains loyal to his experiments, he would very likely become a subject of the research."

Zhou Chuan fell silent instantly. Shortly after, he left to summon "Ex-Girlfriend Sis."

Shen Que mused thoughtfully, considering the idea of selecting individuals with strong and resilient self-awareness.

Wasn't that exactly... the pawns in Chu Cixie’s scheme?

He used Wu Yue's bloodline to unlock the genetic lock, orchestrated her removal so she wouldn't interfere, and once all his pawns had been tested, they could be directly deployed for the next round of experiments.

Shen Que wondered: if he hadn't fallen in love with Wu Yue, would he too have been part of the research?

Why did he always feel that his role was not quite the same as the other pawns?

Wu Yue quietly observed Shen Que. He had been pensive since earlier, and she had no idea what he was thinking.

Once that door opened, she would have to be on guard against all ghosts, including Shen Que.

Shen Que couldn't suppress a smirk when he noticed Wu Yue subtly distancing herself from him. Even if she was drawn to his looks, she remained cautious until she could verify who he really was.

Just as she had said herself, even with love at first sight, what ultimately made her decide to be with him was because of who he was as a person.

But now, he couldn't let Wu Yue be left alone. No matter how wary she was, or even if she might stick a knife in his back, Shen Que wasn’t bothered in the least.

Pulling Wu Yue into his arms, Shen Que whispered, "Darling, if things kick off later, you must hold onto me tightly. Don't get separated."

Shen Que hadn't forgotten that there might still be some creepy thing from the Order Dimension watching Wu Yue.

Wu Yue was honest, "I don't trust you. I might betray you at the last moment."

Shen Que chuckled softly, "It's fine. As long as you're safe, you can do whatever you want to me."

Wu Yue, "..." This 'beauty trap' is really getting to me!!

Zhou Chuan returned, his screams piercing the air.

"Help me, ahhh!!"

Behind him was his "Ex-Girlfriend Sis" in a full-blown rampage, followed by a massive robot battalion.

Amid the roars and wails, the entire laboratory trembled. Countless glass containers fell and shattered on the ground, emitting a weird, foul stench.

The moment the odor spread, just beyond the door, the final boss grew restless, itching to make a move.

Wu Yue, "..." She had originally planned to lure all the monsters out and wipe them out in one go, but now she was trapped between enemies ahead and a tiger behind, totally cornered in the sealed laboratory, ahhh!

Seeing that all the monsters were in position, Shen Que prepared to engage, planning to go all out and mop the floor with them.

But before he could act, Wu Yue pushed him.

Shen Que turned around in confusion and saw Wu Yue's stern expression. "I'll cover for you later. While that monster behind hasn't emerged yet, escape through the main entrance. With your strength and your current disguise, you can mix in with the robot crowd and get away."

Shen Que realized that his wife was clearly trying to pull a 'hero saves the beauty' on him. "...What about you?"

Wu Yue glanced at him sideways. "Don't worry about me. After you leave, live a good life and don't go down the wrong path. Farewell, for good."

Shen Que, "..." For a moment, he didn't know whether to be moved or to laugh.

Jian Suiyu even said he had a fucked-up brain, with wired thinking, but Wu Yue's brain was the most ridiculous of all!

And "see you never"? Just let her try saying "see you never" to him!!

The tightly shut door behind them slammed violently, each impact feeling like a sledgehammer battering against it from the other side.

Zhou Chuan had already rushed into their lab with the ex-girlfriend in tow. Wu Yue gave Shen Que a hard shove. "Hurry up and go! What are you standing around for?"

Shen Que, "No hurry, I'll wait..." He wanted to see how Wu Yue would resolve this time if she didn’t dismantle the seal and unleash the monster.

Zhou Chuan scrambled over frantically, nearly getting clawed to death by the ex-girlfriend several times along the way.

Clearly, as clueless as she was, the ex-girlfriend had finally realized Zhou Chuan was deceiving her.

Zhou Chuan was scrambling to avoid her, "Sis! Work your magic already! Otherwise, all three of us are done for!!"

As the door’s impacts grew more intense, just as it was about to be smashed, Wu Yue pulled Shen Que aside in the nick of time.

Just as Wu Yue expected, a massive humanoid monster burst out from behind the door. Its furious roars made it completely unrecognizable from what it once was.

The monster had countless tentacle-like wooden branches and bone spikes, attacking with overwhelming force and density. Countless robots collapsed instantly, their circuits destroyed, shorting out with sparks and flashes of electricity.

The monster reeked of rotting flesh, leaving behind murky bodily fluids as it moved. The air in the entire lab instantly turned foul and nauseating.

Shen Que quietly protected Wu Yue, watching as she quickly pulled out her recording device from today, confirmed it was on, and shoved it into his hands.

"Keep an eye on this, make sure you record all my moves."

As soon as she finished, Wu Yue tried to dart out, but Shen Que grabbed her. "Where do you think you're going?"

Wu Yue pulled out a piece of skull. "I need to put this skull back into that monster’s head. There are no useless items in this dungeon—there must be a way to break through."

Shen Que snatched the skull from her, placed the recording device back into Wu Yue’s arms, and said, "I’ll go. You record."

Then, under Wu Yue’s flickering gaze, Shen Que sprang into action.
