Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 154: Chapter 70 Netherworld Train_2

Recalling his own experiences of unlocking Face Masks,

”Could it be that Face Masks can only be unlocked in certain situations or under certain similarities?”

Li Yelai thought back to when he first acquired the Overlord Face.

At that time, he had strong feelings of unwillingness and resentment, and his neck had already been touched by a Skin Stripper.

The end for the Overlord of Western Chu was suicide at Wujiang.

The same touch to the neck, but Xiang Yu had done it to himself.

The same unwillingness, plus a similar wound?

Was that how he unlocked the Overlord Face?

And the Face of Huo Qubing, Seal Langju Xuhu Qubing, emerged when facing the Grassland Cavalry of the Xiongnu.

At that time, he felt desperate like a kite stuck in the wind, yearning for a Face that was fast enough to catch up with the enemy.

Pursuit of speed, and the enemy being the Xiongnu... thus unlocking Huo Qubing’s Face?

Are extreme emotional needs combined with external environment the key to unlocking Face Masks?

”If that’s really the case, the requirements are quite harsh!”

”If I want to get the Face of Sun Wukong, wouldn’t I also need to be trapped under a mountain for five hundred years? Maybe I even need to spend some time herding horses?”

”Prince Nezha... would I have to scrape off my own flesh too?”

”No way, right?”

”Or is it the surge of emotions in desperate situations?”

Li Yelai’s thoughts quickly flowed.

He just hadn’t studied enough about Face Masks.

He had only unlocked two Face Masks, with no reliable research data.

Such a pity, he had obtained a third Face Mask but couldn’t unlock it.

This left Li Yelai somewhat discouraged, but he had to set it aside for now.

At that moment, Ben Lei shouted from above, ”Divide some teams to take care of the wounded, the rest come down! Block this breach!”

”Yes!” came a loud response from above, from a Processor.

The fight above had ended, all the Black Zombies and the batch of Red Robed Congregation had been annihilated by the Processors.

At this instant, a dozen Processors leaped down from the crevice.

Arriving at the floor where Li Yelai was.

But in the next moment, they heard growling and roaring sounds from below, along with extremely intense fighting.

By the sound of it, one of them seemed to be a Chaos Egg.

Li Yelai was shaken, the crater made by the Underground Tunnelling Machine had broken through several layers, and below it was pitch-black and somewhat eerie. The lights seemed unable to penetrate this darkness, like an eternal abyss.

That earlier Chaos Egg had fallen and, for some reason, hadn’t climbed back up.

Which made the Processors surrounding the Chaos Egg hesitant to dive down rashly and instead, chose to wait for teammates.

At this moment, an eerie battle erupted.

”What is it?” Li Yelai became vigilant, gripping his Red Dragon Spear tightly.

”In the intelligence report, this location below... is where the Ember Church stored Taboo Items, not many, but there were seventeen Taboo Items, including two Class B Forbidden Items. It’s possible that one of the Taboo Items has gone out of control. Stay alert!” Ben Lei was also cautious.

”Could it be that my ’You Must Meet Strong Enemies’ has been triggered?” Li Yelai frowned.

It seemed like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Just as Li Yelai finished speaking, he saw a War General in thick, bloody armor soaring into the air, his long spear drip with foul-smelling blood.

He seemed to have just exploded into fierce battle with someone, and even fought an irrational Chaos Egg, and was now scrambling out of the crevice in a terrible state.

Then, bewildered, he looked at a group of Processors.

”It’s a Divine Chosen Servant!” Ben Lei laughed angrily, ”Kill him!”

A dozen Processors rushed up, but the Divine Chosen Servant stared back furiously.

He couldn’t understand why this was happening. He was originally in a sub-branch deep underground, battling against officials and his brethren from Ye Boshou.

Suddenly, an Underground Tunnelling Machine crashed down, directly splitting the battlefield.

Though unexpected, this strike created a chance for him to escape.

Just as he jumped out of the battlefield, a Chaos Egg smashed head-on into him.

Chaos Eggs are irrational!

Their behavior is uncontrollable; they do not differentiate friend from foe and only seek to kill. Their end is either being hacked to death in the chaos of battle, being devoured by even more brutal creatures, or being torn apart by the Spiritual Energy constantly flowing through their bodies.

Even the Church, wanting to use Chaos Eggs, could only guide them towards the enemy.

Hence, the moment both sides met, it was a frantic slaughter.

He barely managed to drive off this Chaos Egg and successfully leaped through several layers of the crevice.

Then, he came face-to-face with Li Yelai...

”There’s no problem,” he sensed that Li Yelai was merely a Second Awakening Spiritual Ability User, while he himself was a Five Senses Strong Person. Even grievously wounded, wasn’t it easy to kill a Second Awakening as if splashing some water?

However, the problem was that there were fifteen Three and Four Awakenings Processors standing beside Li Yelai!

He was instantly flustered!

Faced with so many Processors, he would rather go back to challenge Ye Boshou alone or continue dealing with the Chaos Egg!

Thus, in his mix of shock and anger, he turned to flee downwards.

However, before he had run far, he suddenly saw a graceful silhouette appear before him.

She was draped in a robe, brandishing a two-handed heavy sword.

Her beautiful face carried coldness and detachment, resembling the grim reaper!

The Divine Chosen Servant, terrified, raised his spear but then noticed his vision starting to swirl chaotically and saw a headless corpse floating midair.

That looks familiar... Ah, that’s... his own corpse...

”Why is there a Sixth Sense here...” were his last thoughts.

And the person who appeared was indeed the Little Mad King who had always been hidden in the shadows.

She made a strong appearance and instantly slew this Five Senses Spiritual Ability User!

As the Little Mad King, who had suddenly appeared, and the head at her feet came into view, Ben Lei and the others became serious and assumed a defensive posture.

The Little Mad King didn’t care; she grabbed the plunging headless corpse and casually tossed it aside.

She then turned to Li Yelai and said, ”Good, let’s change the location and continue the lure. As long as I’m here....”

Li Yelai looked at the Little Mad King and nodded slightly, ”I’ll try my best!”

Afterward, the Little Mad King suddenly disappeared again, hiding in some unknown corner.

But this also slightly relieved the others because due to the curse, they could not really trust the Little Mad King, even though she had just killed a powerful enemy in front of them...

Li Yelai didn’t need to consider this, after the group found a solid passage to use as a defensive position, he once again activated the Face.

You Must Meet Strong Enemies, right?

Bring it on, I’m not afraid anymore!

However, in the following ten or so minutes, more and more Processors arrived beside Li Yelai, nearly a hundred standing nearby.

Yet they still didn’t see any new enemies emerge.

This made the Processors, who wanted to ’lie in wait,’ feel strangely puzzled.

”Could it be that the captains have already finished all the tasks?”

”That shouldn’t be the case?”

”Could it be that they didn’t escape out?”

As they were discussing this, they heard a train horn sound.

”An underground train? Subway?” Li Yelai, surprised, turned to Ben Lei.

Ben Lei couldn’t believe it, ”Impossible, if they secretly built and used a subway, Giant City would have discovered them long ago!”

The very next second, a lengthy tunnel opened suddenly in the wall beside Li Yelai.

At the same time, two tracks abruptly appeared, quickly extending from under Li Yelai’s feet.

And shooting straight through layers of building walls and steel bars.

The walls seemed to come alive, automatically creating passages for the tracks.

Soon after, a shrill horn sounded, and a blinding searchlight also shone out, lighting up Li Yelai’s face from afar.

Turns out there really was a train, and it had directly created a tunnel that penetrated underground, leading straight to the surface!

Li Yelai was right on top of this tunnel.

Watching the approaching train from a distance.

Li Yelai was left dumbfounded, wasn’t it supposed to be You Must Meet Strong Enemies? How come a train is coming to hit me?

Outside the train, the battle did not cease, with several captains attacking the train carriages.

But they were desperately blocked by the Divine Chosen Servant and the believers.

As the train passed, the walls that had been pierced closed instantly, repeatedly obstructing the captains’ approaches.

Within a short time, they were still unable to break into the carriages.

Inside the carriage, the Divine Chosen clad in a bloody red robe sneered repeatedly.

The Disaster Processing Bureau indeed had some skills, but they still couldn’t keep him!

He had the Netherworld Train, a Class B Forbidden Item, which allowed him to consume Spiritual Power to forge any path, almost ignoring any physical barrier!

He could drive it directly out of Giant City, what could they do to him then?

Meanwhile, Yang Chen, seeing the walls that had reverted to block their path, couldn’t help but scoff.

”Using a vehicle was your biggest mistake!”

Then, Yang Chen spoke into his headset, ”They must be heading towards the Night General, get on the train if it’s safe!”
