Chapter 350: Gear Room

“Throughout the centuries of establishing the lighthouse.

You’re the first group of humans to exert such intensity, forcing me to use my reserved strength to suppress this rebellion… You should be quite proud.

However, I couldn’t comprehend your last move.

Why did you come to my office alone? Shouldn’t you have waited for the ”Collector”, the ”Butcher”, or that terrifying woman to reach the lighthouse, and then come after me together?”

In response to this question,

Han Dong did not answer, and certainly didn’t intend to indulge in idle chatter with Lamp Man.

Instead, he pulled out a gold-plated key from his pocket, immediately inserting it into the lock of the office door behind him.

A peculiar transformation was taking place within the lock. The key, painstakingly crafted by the ”Keymaker”, could alter the lock, the door, and even the room!

This key, made according to Han Dong’s request, achieved the effect of a ‘complete transformation’.

With a click!

He turned the key, reopening the door.

Han Dong turned around, delivering a mocking remark: “Do you think you’re incredible? You’re nothing more than an ”Eternal Second”…Like a frog at the bottom of a well, you will always be under the feet of Mr. Aha.

Go ahead and enjoy your control over the lighthouse. I’m just here to witness your ‘downfall’. Goodbye!”

Without hesitation, he gathered Abe and immediately leaving the office.

These sleekly crafted remarks weren’t thought up by Han Dong on the spot, they had been prepared after meticulous investigation.

“Die!!”

The mocking remark worked.

The words sparked a deep-seated anger within Lamp Man.

Driven by his absolute confidence, Lamp Man promptly rose to pursue them.

“Sir! Their actions are a bit strange…” the head nurse alerted.

“Since they’ve come to the top level, where could they possibly run off to? Killing these two instigators of the rebellion would indirectly solve a lot of problems… Moreover, from the moment they said those words, their deaths got sealed ”

Lamp Man opened the office door, chasing after them through the rooftop passage filled with cables.

The head nurse followed closely.

But… something was strange.

The cable passage was just a transition area between the elevator and the office, about thirty meters long.

However, Lamp Man had already run more than a hundred meters through the cable passage, yet he couldn’t reach the elevator.

Noticing the problem, Lamp Man temporarily suppressed his anger.

He ripped apart the cables to the side with a sweep of his hand, but there was no electricity flowing within.

“What’s happening…”

As Lamp Man extended his senses, he found that he couldn’t connect with the lighthouse.

He felt like he had simply passed through a door.

“Is it…”

Lamp Man was somewhat familiar with some famous and peculiar ”Strange Tales” in the paradise.

He immediately thought of the ”Keymaker” he killed twenty-four hours ago.

Though the ”Keymaker”, a dwarven locksmith, was only an A-level entity, he was a unique existence.

“So these guys do have a close connection with the ”Keymaker”… Did they use a key to create this space?

Why does it affect me? There’s a gap in our levels, the ”Keymaker’s” ability should’ve had a poor effect on me.”

Just as Lamp Man tried to turn around, he found that his way was blocked by a dense cable.

At that moment,

The cables under Lamp Man and the head nurse’s feet split apart.

Lamp Man and the head nurse fell nearly a hundred meters, landing firmly in a room built of gears.

It was filled with large gears of various sizes.

One wrong move and they would be pulled in, ground into fragments.

Admittedly, Han Dong was somewhat startled too.

His request to the ”Keymaker” was to create a space key that could lead Lamp Man into an ‘independent space’ separate from the lighthouse.

He had to ensure that Lamp Man had no access to any extra resources, preventing him from using his ‘Energy Conversion’ and ‘Light Source Regeneration’ traits… only then would there be a possibility to kill him for good.

However,

Even in such an ‘independent space’, Lamp Man was still absolutely confident, after all, his enemy here was neither Mr. Aha, the ”Collector”, nor the ”Butcher”.

This small fry who only knows how to run on the streets and depend on the Butcher to escape danger was hardly a threat.

…

Through Han Dong’s eyes,

“First, create an overlapping cable passage as a transition, then set up a gear space for complete isolation… A double insurance, is this the ”Keymaker’s” gift? With this, I can now calmly resolve this situation.”

Han Dong started to warm up.

Frankly speaking, aside from the unequal combat within the ”Gate of Hell”, which required Han Dong to exert all his strength… He had always held back in other situations.

He had made a lot of preparations for this five-star event, and upon hearing that the highest clearance reward would confer three Fate Points, he was determined to secure it.

In order to train in a secondary profession, his Fate Points must exceed others’.

“Abe, will you handle the head nurse?”

“No…I’ll deal with Lamp Man.

I’m not confident in killing Lamp Man, but I believe that you should be able to handle the head nurse faster than I… Thus, let’s change the situation to two against one.”

“Ok!”

Han Dong once again inserted the key into the space between the ground gears.

This was another gift from the ”Keymaker”, this key could transform the space within a limited range at any time.

With a click!

As the key turned.

Every gear in the room started to rotate as well.

Instantly separating all the individuals inside.

As Han Dong locked eyes with the head nurse cloaked in purple and holding a syringe,

He realized she was fundamentally different from the head nurse he encountered before who was dozens of meters tall…decked with evolved and advanced traits.

Though compared to Lamp Man, the head nurse was easier to handle in some ways.

However, she was an S-level ”Strange Tale”, a sign of the highest combat power within the ”Strange Tales” event… Not so easy to deal with.

“You guys are really brave… daring to confront Sir Lamp directly.

I will inject you with a sedative, then slowly dissect your body! In the end, I will turn you into a specimen and hang it at the entrance of the lighthouse to warn those who dare to challenge the authority of Sir Lamp.”

Ha ha ha…

The head nurse let out a strange laughter and moved at a high speed.

Even in the gear space, she created multiple purple figments… Her speed was unimaginably fast.

Targeting Han Dong’s blind spot from behind, the purple figment swooped towards him.

The syringe in her hand had already targeted, once it’s inserted into Han Dong’s body, the fight will be over.

However, just as the head nurse approached Han Dong from his blind spot… a wave of high temperature hit her.

Lines of molten lava emerged on the surface of Han Dong’s ”G Arm”. The special traits of the G virus could carry such high temperature molten lava… neutralizing the damage inflicted by the lava on the flesh with its infinite regeneration ability.

The chains that should’ve been exclusive to Togu were coiled around Han Dong’s arm.

”Seeing through”

Han Dong immediately turned around and slapped the incoming head nurse.

The enlarged ”G Arm”, covered with chains, neutralized the attack of the syringe in the head nurse’s hand, grabbed hold of her body with a single hand.

“Chen Li…Now!”

A lady in red appeared

Under her black hair, her blood-streaked eyes were firmly fixed on the head nurse.

She cut a watermelon in half with a single knife stroke.
