    As if the tide of cold silver was flowing against the current, the little snakes turned into thin threads and intertwined with each other, converging into the general outline of the monster, and the outline soon showed clear details, showing the appearance of Medusa.Dozens of strange snake eyes opened suddenly, and Medusa laughed triumphantly. The crazy laughter echoed throughout the temple, making people feel desperate.

    It was as if an immortal mechanical god was taunting human beings. After enduring Deng Huailing's all-out attack, she was not damaged at all, her size did not shrink, and her movements did not slow down in the slightest.

    The chopping just now did not destroy the memory center she used to control the electronic unit, or there is no such central control system in her body at all. As long as you pay attention to the liquid all over the floor, you can find that she is purely composed of silver electronic units.constituted.

    Deng Huailing raised his eyes, stood up from the ground holding the knife, tore a strip of fabric from the hem of his shirt, bit one end of the strip to bandage his left arm.Blood was dripping from the snakebite hole on his left forearm, but the bleeding was trivial, and the venom injected into it was the real lethal. He didn't know what kind of poison it was, but there was no doubt that it came from a killing machine.Toxins must be highly poisonous.

    He wrapped cloth strips tightly above the wound to prevent the venom from flowing back to the heart too quickly and spreading to the whole body.The toxin took effect faster than he had imagined. Within half a minute, he almost lost feeling in his left arm. Deng Huailing's left hand was the dominant hand for holding the saber, so he had to change Tang Dao to his unfamiliar right hand.

    After the fierce confrontation just now, one person and one snake began to confront each other again. Medusa was as patient as an experienced hunter. She had withstood Deng Huailing's knife that defeated her form. She was not in a hurry to chase this poisoned prey, lest the other partyAnd then resorted to tricks she didn't expect.She swam around him rustlingly, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

    Deng Huailing was not in the mood to confront, the venom on his left arm might kill him within an hour or two, so Medusa must be killed quickly.Calmly, he glanced at the cabinets on both sides from the corner of his eye. When Medusa's form collapsed just now, he noticed that the ground was covered with silver liquid, and there was no complicated structure like memory center.

    As an AI with the ability to think, it is impossible for Medusa not to have this structure, otherwise she would not be able to analyze and store data.Since there is no such thing in her body, there is only one possibility, that there is a signal source outside her body remotely controlling her activities.

    And ever since Deng Huailing stepped into this building, the wireless signal in the building has been isolated from the outside world, and the signal source controlling Medusa can only be the cabinets of Poseidon on both sides.Medusa is likely to live in Poseidon's cabinet, but the specific parasitism method is hard to judge, maybe Medusa is derived from Poseidon's foundation, or maybe, their cabinets are placed inTogether.

    Medusa's body will not perish. If you want to destroy her consciousness, you have to destroy her cabinet... Deng Huailing's right hand holding the knife hilt seeped cold sweat, and it was only placed in the cabinet in this palaceThere are tens of thousands of them, and even without Medusa blocking them, it would be difficult for him alone to destroy them.

    What's more, this building has a total of more than ten floors, and the stairs can be vaguely seen at the end of the black wall made of cabinets.The height of the hall is only about three floors connected to each other, and there are other floors for storage cabinets above. If the nuclear bomb is not detonated, it is simply impossible to completely destroy the cabinets in a short time.

    This goes back to the original task of detonating the nuclear bomb. If you want to place the nuclear bomb, you must first get rid of Medusa.He fell into an endless loop, he couldn't complete the task, he couldn't protect himself, he could only exhaust his life in the dilemma, waiting for the poison to die.

    From the discovery that Medusa was unharmed, all hope seemed lost.Deng Huailing's vision was blurred for a moment, as if a large piece of quiet and verdant greenery appeared in front of his eyes, like a holographic image with poor contact., and suddenly turned into chaotic noise and dissipated.

    He remembered that it was the locust tree that grew outside the dilapidated house when he lived with Deng Xuan on the ground in the second district when he was a child, and it was also the source of his name.The neurotoxin caused him to hallucinate, and the long-term memory flashed back like a chaotic movie. Deng Huailing took a breath with difficulty, desperately trying to clear his sight, and raised the Tang knife with his right hand to chop at the cabinet beside him.

    He hasn't given up hope yet.In the game with Robert, it was Rosie who persisted in hope until the last moment, in exchange for a reversal of the situation. He couldn't just ruin the opportunity that Rosie had won.Even if there are tens of thousands of cabinets here, he will try to destroy a few of them. If he hits the cabinet where Medusa lives, he will be able to regain his life.

    Of course, Medusa would not let him destroy it, and the snake rushed over madly in an instant, blocking his way.Deng Huailing drew his sword and slashed. This time, he could no longer imitate Rosie's fighting style, and his non-dominant right hand could only use half the strength.

    The broken snake hair fell to the ground and gathered into the shape of a poisonous snake, which quickly wrapped around his calf, and he opened his mouth to bite.The wind blade generated by the black ring cut like a whirlpool, tore open the poisonous snake's body in an instant, emptied the surrounding silver fragments, and tore Deng Huailing's windbreaker to pieces.

    Using his right arm, Deng Huailing slashed into the cabinet in front of him again. The deep crack spread rapidly up and down with his blade as the axis.There was only a "click", and the small wall was penetrated by cracks, and the backlog of cabinets on it was crumbling and about to fall down.

    Medusa screamed like her liver and gallbladder were splitting, her head full of snake hair twisted frantically, and her face full of snake eyes showed anger and fear.Her task is to guard the cabinet. Now that several cabinets have been destroyed, the red line of the program has been touched. She can no longer hunt leisurely, and must execute this human being immediately.

    A large number of snake hair rolled towards Deng Huailing's body, blocking all possible escape routes.Deng Huailing pulled out a long knife from the shattered cabinet and turned around to block it, but the dark green locust tree flickered again, blocking his vision.Wooden stakes for practicing knives.

    In the hallucination, there seemed to be countless wooden stakes rushing towards him, but he was just a small child, not as tall as the Tang Dao in his hand, and he tried his best to raise the knife to meet those wooden stakes, but he was hit head-on and face-to-face.In reality, the snake hair tightly wrapped around his back and waist. Deng Huailing wanted to struggle but couldn't. The toxin paralyzed the small half of his body, and his energy was exhausted after the long battle.

    More and more snake hair curled up, Medusa smiled grimly and lifted Deng Huailing into the air, two snakes poked their heads out from behind his shoulders, their fangs pierced his skin, injecting more venom.Snake hair wrapped his body airtightly, leaving only his face exposed, those two-way frivolous and sharp brown eyes lost their spirit and drooped down.

    "Hmm..." Deng Huailing's fingertips moved, trying to raise his hand to loosen the snake hair wrapped around his neck that suffocated him, but he couldn't move.Oxygen was becoming thinner, and the lack of oxygen and the newly injected toxins made the hallucinations more intense. He saw more clearly the locust tree flashing among the color blocks, its branches and leaves turned from green to yellow, and were covered with snow.Houses covered with plastic sheets can be vaguely seen in the shelter.

    Is this what he saw at the end of his life?That childhood cottage that can never go back to?Deng Huailing opened his eyes slightly, he seemed to be lying on a folding bed in the room, covered with a thin blanket, the firewood was burning in the corner, sparks were flying in the halo.

    There was a stove on the woodpile, and Deng Xuan squatted in front of the stove stirring the boiling fish soup in the pot, and the soup made a gurgling sound.Deng Huailing remembered that it was half a month before Bloody Christmas, he practiced swordsmanship on a snowy day and got a high fever, Deng Xuan picked up a few mutated fish from the river and made soup for him.Hearing the wind and snow outside the house, he felt extremely happy.

    That cottage was the first place he could call home in his life.In the illusion of nothingness, the master served him a bowl of fish soup, waited for him to drink it drowsily, tucked up the corner of the blanket for him after he lay down in a daze, touched his forehead in his sleep, and said kindly: "sleep."

    ...Can sleep?

    Deng Huailing huddled in the blanket, and his vision was a vast foggy white.He couldn't see anything clearly, he could only feel the warmth that eroded his will, the pressure around him seemed to be tightly wrapped around him, and it was like someone he loved hugged him tightly, falling asleep in this warmthWhen you wake up, you should have a light and sweet dream.

    The corners of his lips raised slowly, revealing a contented smile.He remembered who hugged him so tightly. During Bloody Christmas, that young man hugged him and jumped down from a tall building, holding him through the hail of bullets. He didn’t have to worry about any danger in the other’s arms, and he could indeed sleep soundly.go.

    But then his smile froze, and the dream that had been repeated countless times appeared in the hallucination.He saw the young man turn around and leave alone, and walked up to the rooftop far away. After the gunfire, blood spattered, and the bright red blood bloomed on the snow.The blood spot also fell on his forehead, like a small piece of hot brand, branding the regret deep in his soul.

    The sense of security brimming with warmth dissipated, leaving only his hesitant eyes in the wind and snow, and tears froze on his cheeks.If he just fell asleep peacefully like this, who should die for him?

    "I...can't sleep yet," Deng Huailing's voice was weak, but with deep unwillingness, "I can't sleep!"

    His volume suddenly rose, and the infinite momentum reverberated in the hall, like a heavy bell, "I haven't, protect you!"

    The brown eyes opened suddenly, and the eyes that should have been the eyes of a dying person were as intimidating as sharp blades.Medusa stared in astonishment at this blood-soaked, maddened hunter, unable to figure out why he could still wake up.

    She was pretty sure he had two broken ribs from her strangulation and bruises all over his body, not to mention the suffocation and neurotoxin from the entanglement.However, before she could react, a wisp of wind infiltrated from the gaps in the snake hair wrapping Deng Huailing, like a thin and invisible blade, swiftly moving along a narrow path.

    Medusa watched helplessly as this extremely weak human manipulated the wind field. All the surrounding air seemed to be sucked into a small space, gathering inside like violent wind balls, and gradually propped up the roots from the inside.Snake hair.The metal snake hair was bent to the extreme by the wind balloon, making an overwhelmed rattling sound.

    A few seconds later, the snake hair finally couldn't bear the internal tension, the wind ball suddenly exploded, and the fragments splashed down the audience!Medusa backed away with a snarl, metal snake limbs fell down from the sky, hit the wind ball outside Deng Huailing and bounced off again, the huge hall was covered with silver light, leaving only an open space in the center.

    Deng Huailing fell to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and almost fainted from the slight impact of the landing.His mouth smelled of rust, and the broken rib seemed to have pierced his internal organs. He was breathing heavily because of the lack of oxygen, and also felt severe pain because of the pulling of the chest, and he was at a loss for a while.

    But compared to the chaotic consciousness, the physical pain is nothing.His already weak spirit paid the price after desperately using the Black Ring, and was affected by neurotoxins, becoming chaotic, like a person walking on the edge of a cliff, who may fall into the abyss of sleep at any time.

    No, can't sleep yet.There are still people who need him to save, and there are still people... waiting for him to go back.

    Deng Huailing stood up with difficulty, and fumbled to untie the baseball bat storage bag behind him.There were two suitcases stacked in the bag. Two of the three nuclear bombs brought from East 1 were left. Deng Huailing held them in his hand and set a five-minute countdown for one of the boxes.Press the confirm button, then place it horizontally on the ground, push the box and slide it towards Medusa.

    Medusa has been fused with the fragments all over the ground and restored to a complete form.She just glanced at the suitcase, and was attracted by the flashing countdown to the nuclear bomb, and conjured up a special tool to try to dismantle the bomb.Deng Huailing took the opportunity to pass by her, strenuously cut off the attacking snake's hair, and staggered towards the stairs at the end of the temple.

    For the AI ​​developed by CyberRose, dismantling the nuclear bomb is by no means a problem.Deng Huailing just needed this nuclear bomb to delay him. He wanted to transfer to a higher floor through the stairs. The floor there may not have been opened. In the narrow space full of cabinets, Medusa's activities would be severely affected.big limit.

    He can use this to mediate with the other party to find an opportunity to go out. If he can't find it, he will detonate the last nuclear bomb in the building.
