Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 165: Destroy the World First

"It is now September 2124, 9, 8: in the morning."

Lu Ke stared at himself in the mirror. His face was haggard, dry, and lifeless, like a handful of ashes left after a complete burn.

"Today marks exactly the eighteenth year of my captivity, six thousand five hundred and seventy-five days, one hundred and fifty-seven thousand eight hundred hours, nine million four hundred and sixty-eight thousand minutes."

He read out the time he had been trapped here word by word, turned around to look at the clock hanging on the hotel suite, and then changed his words.

"Okay, nine million four hundred and sixty-eight thousand and one minutes."

After reporting, he paused for a moment, stroking the mirror with his palm. After a long time, he withdrew his hand, pointed the index fingers of both hands upwards to the corners of his mouth, revealing a stiff smile.

"There are many things I want to say, but it can be summed up in one sentence."

"I will destroy the world."

……

The first floor underground is filled with uninformed people doing normal work. One purpose is to disguise themselves, and the other is to solve various trivial matters of the real employees so that they can focus all their attention on the seal.

The underground is where the sealed objects are actually imprisoned. There are twelve floors in total. The first floor is where employees work and rest. The second to third floors are the sealing places for third-level seals. The fourth to sixth floors are the sealing places for second-level seals. The seventh to ninth floors are responsible for first-level seals. Zero-level seals are imprisoned on the tenth to twelfth floors.

After passing through a long disinfection passage, Xue Pengkai walked into the employee-only elevator. With a "ding" sound, the elevator door closed and then slowly fell.

The feeling of weightlessness is the most primitive instinctive fear of the human body. Xue Pengkai's heart also continued to sink with the elevator. He was about to be full of confidence, but when facing the derivatives of the level zero seal, he inevitably felt a little panicked.

The indicator light reached the -10th floor. Xue Pengkai walked out of the elevator and two tall and strong security guards came forward. They checked Xue Pengkai's body and finally spoke in a tough attitude.

"Please show me your work ID."

Xue Pengkai handed over his work ID. One of them took it, looked at it, and a teasing smile appeared on his face.

"Wow~ You're good to go. The Son of Plenty resists humans the most, but you were able to take him down. And there are also magical fairies. The fairies are all very beautiful, but their bodies...tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Xue Pengkai did not answer, but just smiled faintly, showing that he was not surprised by the praise or criticism.

Compared to the compliments from the lower-level employees, the teasing and appreciation from the guard on the tenth floor were certainly more valuable, but he did not feel too proud, and he never doubted his promotion.

His goal is to become a supervisor, or even a manager.

"If you are the team leader, then you can only take care of the derivatives of the Level Zero Sealed Artifact. Which one is on your management list?"

"Derivative number three."

"that."

Upon hearing the name "Derivative No. 3", the two security guards relaxed immediately, and the one who had previously teased Xue Pengkai with some dirty jokes even had a look of disgust on his face.

"If you had told him earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble. I thought you were going to manage the Apostles, the Calamity Equation, or the Divine Bird's Egg."

Hearing about the three level-0 derivatives that he had never heard of, Xue Pengkai's eyes flickered, "Could you two brothers explain to me those level-0 derivatives that you are talking about?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to."

The other security guard looked much more stable than the one next to him. His eyes were stern. "Level 0 items are all top secret matters that are forbidden to be disclosed. Some knowledge alone can put you in a life-or-death dilemma."

"Let's not talk about the Level 0 Sealed Artifact. My brother once accidentally revealed a Level 3 Sealed Artifact to a new Level 3 personnel. The next day, he was found dead in his bed. Do you know how he died?"

"Can I know anything about this?"

Xue Pengkai asked back calmly.

"Why not?" The security officer sneered, "He cut open his chest and stomach, and used his own blood and internal organs to paint a twisted and blasphemous work."

"Imagine the scene. A sharp knife cuts through your skin, your fat layer, and your muscles. Fine beads of blood ooze out along the incision, and then it cuts an artery, and blood gushes out. You don't care, you hollow out your internal organs, dip your fingers in the blood, and paint on the floor of your home in ecstasy..."

As the security guard spoke, he stared at Xue Pengkai's face, and showed a hint of approval when he saw that there was still no fear on his face.

"You have a good mental quality. If I must say, this thing you are in charge of is quite harmless, at least on the surface."

According to the security personnel, Derivative No. 3 has not had a riot in more than ten years. Even ten years ago, when a sealed object went out of control and caused a chain reaction, and a large number of sealed objects escaped collectively, Derivative No. 3 still stayed quietly in his cell.

They believed that Derivative No. 3 did not have the ability to escape. After all, no one with a normal mind could stay in a hotel suite for eighteen years and still want to keep it.

However, no one would think that the things blown out of the Doomsday Horn would be truly harmless, so it was sealed, and it was an extremely tight seal.

Perhaps if he became mentally ill, collapsed or died, something terrible would happen, so as far as conditions permitted, we took good care of his diet and daily life.

Following the direction indicated by the security guard, Xue Pengkai successfully found the room of Derivative No. 3.

The room was not reinforced with steel and was not heavily guarded. It seemed that there were no protective measures. As long as the door was opened, everything inside would come out. What was particularly noticeable was an external monitor next to the door, which displayed every corner of the room, including the bathroom.

The door of the room was an ordinary wooden door with a house number hung on it, numbered 4. The door and the house number were sealed with some kind of tape, leaving a hole for delivering things. It looked cheap and fragile, but this was a world of difference for most sealed objects.

The third-level sealed object is "House Number 1408".

Description 1408: The original body of is unknown, but its derivatives have a copying effect. When the derivative is hung in front of a door, you will find a second house number in the same position one hour later, and the copying ability will be transferred to the new house number.

Description 1408: When you hang the number "" in front of a door, no matter what the previous room looked like, it will become a gorgeous and exquisite hotel suite with a bit of retro decoration after opening it. Description : If the person in the hotel suite does not leave within an hour, after opening the door, they will get a brand new, identical hotel suite and will never be able to leave.

Description 4: After removing the house number, the disorder in the space will be resolved.

Message: Welcome to Dolphin Hotel ~ Your arrival makes us feel great, so please don’t leave!

Level 3 sealing object, "Universal Tape".

Description 1: Not afraid of water or fire, not afraid of knives or swords, tough and inert, no reaction to physical or chemical properties.

Description 2: Things stuck with this tape can never be separated and can only be separated physically.

Message: If the Titanic had this thing, would it have sunk?

Coming to the monitor, Xue Pengkai saw derivative number three in the room.

He looked younger than his actual age, perhaps only eighteen or nineteen years old. His skin was unnaturally pale, and his hair had grown past his waist, was dry and frizzy, and was tied up with only a rubber band. He was so thin that he looked unrecognizable.

At this moment, he had just come out of the bathroom and was sitting on the bed, holding a book in his hand. Except for the sound of turning pages in the room, everything seemed exceptionally quiet.

If you look at him as a human being, he is quite pitiful.

Xue Pengkai made such comments, and then communicated with Derivative No. 3 in a gentle and friendly tone.

"Hello, I'm the new staff member who's here to take care of you. My name is Xue Pengkai."

Lu Ke raised his eyes slightly, as if he had some reaction to his words. He slowly got up from the bed, his voice calm and indifferent, like an old man who was at peace with the world.

"Hello, Mr. Xue."

"My name is Luke. You can also call me Derivative Number Three."

Luke answered politely, his eyes fixed on the camera, "You speak very fluently, it doesn't sound like you are using a phonograph to translate, and the format of your name is very similar to ours."

Secondary Sealed Object "Phonographic Machine"

Description 1: An old-fashioned phonograph that repeatedly plays an impassioned song called "Song of the Tower of Babel"

Description 2: In order to stop humans from pursuing terrible existences, a certain existence disrupted the language, but now the children have broken through the commandments and regained the bridge of communication... or perhaps the bridge to death.

Description 3: Every time you hear "Song of the Tower of Babel" for 30 seconds, you will climb the ladder of the Tower of Babel once and gain the ability to communicate with a person in a different language.

Description 4: The language you obtain is random, please use it with caution.

Message: Shhh~ Did you hear that? What a beautiful sound, a call from the deep sea, a call from the stars...

"Yes, I am Chinese, just like you. We have the same blood flowing in our veins."

This is probably why he was assigned to Derivative No. 3. This monster mistakenly believed that he was a human, a Chinese.

Xue Pengkai felt his heartbeat quicken. Being able to communicate meant being able to change, and being able to change meant being able to control. Although Derivative No. 3 was human on the surface, it was still essentially a monster with the Horn of Doom.

If he could tame Derivative No. 3, within two years, as long as he met the minimum qualifications, he could be promoted to a Level 4 supervisor.

This is one of the necessary conditions for promotion, mastering two first-level seals or a derivative of a zero-level seal.

"You don't think I'm a monster?"

"of course not."

Xue Pengkai replied gently, "Every component of your body is the same as that of an ordinary person. Your appearance and thoughts are exactly the same as ours. How could you be a monster? I think there must be something wrong."

"Even if I'm not mistaken, I will treat you well and try my best to meet your needs."

The corners of Lu Ke's mouth slowly rose, and his voice was exceptionally calm, "Mr. Xue, has your supervisor ever told you not to communicate too much with the Sealed Objects?"

"Ok?"

"For example, I can tell from Mr. Xue's voice that you are very young, probably in your twenties. To be in this position at this age, Mr. Xue can be said to be young and promising."

"Your voice is very steady and friendly, but being able to become a team leader doesn't mean you're stupid. Instead, it means you're thoughtful, emotionally stable, and good at disguising yourself. You're so close to me when we first met. Obviously, you want to use me to climb the ladder, which indirectly reveals your ambition."

Xue Pengkai was stunned for a moment, and a chill ran down his spine. He didn't expect that Derivative No. 3 could understand human thinking so clearly and systematically, and analyze it so accurately.

"Luke, you misunderstood, I..."

"Mr. Xue, I feel very, very sorry that such an outstanding talent like you is not favored by the world."

Before he could react, he heard Lu Ke's order to leave.

"Leave and come back in three days."

Lu Ke gave a faint smile and lowered his head to look at his book again.

"I believe our meeting next time will be more pleasant."
