Chapter 2028, Part 2.26: Death's Mistress

"A bat spirit?" This was the answer Weng Changting was most familiar with. But whether there was a place for bat spirits in the current sci-fi world was still unknown. However, since it was a competition involving players, anything was possible.

"It's still unclear." Captain Nine-Tailed immediately decided: "Changzhi, Xiaoqing, follow this demon and investigate carefully. Don't alert it."

"Yes." The Chen sisters immediately set off.

The two sisters were originally nameless. Later, after the elder sister's original form was destroyed, her spirit resided in a monument commemorating the enduring prosperity of the Chen family mansion. Therefore, they adopted Chen as their surname and were named "Changzhi" and "Xiaoqing." The two sisters were each other's alternate-dimensional counterparts, both being fox spirits. Through the "Secret Realm Drink," they achieved separation of spirit and body, transforming into a "two-in-one sister body" similar to the trinity of the Arcee sisters, sharing a single spark core and a single consciousness. Their transformation form was also a two-headed vortex fox that could be freely combined and disassembled. The elder sister, Chen Changzhi, was originally a highly skilled thousand-year-old fox demon, her magical power no less than that of the nine-tailed fox mother, Madam Hu. Now, transformed into a cybernetic banshee, the two-headed vortex fox's strength was even greater. Most important and troublesome matters were entrusted to the Chen sisters, and the two sisters never disappointed their sisters.

The fairy's unique "separation of spirit and body" is, in a sense, equivalent to the "mutual transformation of matter and spirit" that only a 6-star demigod can achieve. The fairy's prematurely split "true form" and "original form" simply correspond to the "matter" and "spirit" that can be transformed into each other.

Wu Chen had long known that the materialization of spirit was the mark of a demigod, while the energyization of matter was the ability of a main god. The demons of the East, however, had built a special bridge between the two through the cultivation of ancient techniques. Thus, a higher form of existence emerged, condensed from most of the primordial spirit (materialized spirit) and a small but precious inner core (energyization of matter). This higher form was commonly referred to by the demons as their "true form."

Another type is formed from most of the demon's body and a small portion of its primordial spirit—the natal magic weapon. Thus, between the "true body" and the "magical weapon," matter and spirit are interconnected and maintain a continuous flow and cycle. This is very similar to the ancient martial arts method of opening the acupoints, tempering the body and spirit, and achieving ultimate unity. However, because demons are naturally more resilient, stronger, and able to obtain a continuous supply of energy from nature than humans, they are able to attempt the separation of spirit and flesh before reaching a higher level of life.

This resulted in a unique situation for the fairy race: half of their primordial energy was condensed into their true form, while the other half was condensed into magical artifacts.

Simply put, the true form is "formed from the inner elixir as its core, with the spirit (primordial spirit) materialized." Just like the lich's "life box," once the magical artifact refined from the original form is destroyed, the demon loses its material "container," and the primordial spirit will quickly turn to ashes. Therefore, these magical artifacts are preceded by the most important prefix, "original life."

As the shelter shattered and the planet fell, Wu Chen completed the 404 Path of Destruction and arrived at the Shattered City. He took refuge in the sci-fi spiral belt of the four-system spiral. The cyberpunk banshee of "A Gourd of Secret Realm" gave birth to a clearer distinction between spirit and flesh: true body and original form.

As a Cyber ​​Banshee belonging to the third faction of Cybertronian Predacons, her true form is equivalent to "Headmasters (carbon-based life forms)," and her original form is equivalent to "Predacons (Transformers mechs)."

The unique fusion technology line of the 0326 Star Cube Base became Wu Chen's first choice for mass-producing female fairies belonging to the fantasy spiral belt among the four spiral systems.

Compared to the low-altitude spiral of the Wind Rush, which was extremely risky, had significant side effects, and was a half-baked cybernetic modification, 0326's fusion technology line was much closer to perfection.

Closer to home.

Clad in their namesake "Vortex Armor," the Chen sisters activated their optical camouflage and, under the cover of darkness, silently tracked down the intruders.

"Strange." Captain Nine-Tailed, who had witnessed the intruder's flight path from beginning to end, grew suspicious. "This person knows the terrain well; they're not a newcomer." Moreover, they easily avoided blind spots in the searchlights, and their route to their target was remarkably clear. It seemed they were specifically targeting someone. Could it be that there's an enemy mole at the container terminal?
The answer was quickly revealed. Seemingly aware of the impending visit, the master was already waiting at the weapons factory. Indeed, it was the scimitar.

Surprisingly, the visitor had a face exactly like the curved blade.

"My lord was right." Captain Nine-Tails immediately searched the simplified database for possible sources of the curved blade isotope.

The two, being identical entities, do not need to speak. Their shared spiritual power allows for communication on a spiritual level. There must be another reason why they choose to face each other.

“Found it.” Captain Nine-Tailed immediately displayed the comparison results in a pop-up window: “Razor Charlie. From Dusk Till Dawn, his identity is the bartender of ‘Titty Twister.’ This highway bar located on the Mexican border is run by a group of evil ancient vampires. They transformed an ancient Mayan temple into a strip club to cater to passing motorcyclists and truck drivers, and Razor Charlie is the apparent owner.”

"Who is the mastermind behind this vampire bar?" Chen Changzhi asked.

"'Death's Mistress,' Santanico Pandemonium. An ancient vampire queen who possesses a giant golden serpent." Captain Nine-Tailed revealed the important information one by one.

“I understand.” Upon hearing “Golden Serpent,” Wu Chen immediately connected the dots in the plot: “The survivor camp in the Amazon rainforest that the female producer mentioned is the vampire den, a Mayan temple that was transformed into a nightclub. And the ideal partner for the ‘Blood Orchid Queen’ who completed her final molt was the golden serpent that the ancient vampire queen Santanico Pandemoni used to perform her ‘unparalleled erotic dance’.”

"The golden python of the ancient vampire queen." Captain Nine-Tailed couldn't help but sigh: "My lord, only players could pull off such a shameless mix of plot elements."

“Indeed.” Wu Chen couldn’t refute the players’ ruthless methods in their pursuit of survival: “(The players’ unscrupulous intervention) is one of the most important sources of pollution causing ‘plot invasion.’ What’s even more terrifying is the involvement of Marvel’s Dr. Lizard and Tomb Raider’s bioweapons expert. You can already foresee what kind of monster will be born from the mixing of vampire DNA and python DNA.”

“A scimitar against a razor. They should be enemies, shouldn’t they?” Chen Changzhi drew everyone’s attention back to the two opposing sides.

"It's not clear yet. But looking at the rules of battle royale, only one side can survive in the end." Wu Chen gave the most reasonable judgment: "Simply put, even if the two are not obviously hostile now, a conflict will eventually break out."

"Shall we make a move, my lord?" Chen Changzhi asked again.

“No rush.” Wu Chen had already made up his mind: “Let him go back first, and find the exact location of the Mayan Temple Nightclub.”

"Yes, sir." The female warriors carried out the plan.
