Chapter 205 How Do You Cuss?

This is quite an interesting situation.

The first woman they saw on the screen earlier and the woman they are seeing now are not the same person.

Although they are dressed the same, their appearances and voices are completely different.

However, Gao Tian’s reaction and words just now seem to treat these two women as the same person?

Just as the fat guy was discussing the doubts regarding this dungeon earlier, Gao Tian has now stumbled right into a contradiction, naturally prompting more thoughts.

Gao Tian also seems confused by their question: “What? Aren’t they… the same?”

Ling Mo pondered for two seconds and asked, “I’m suddenly a bit curious, do you know who that woman is?”

“She should be the highest-ranking official of this Control Hub or something, right?” Gao Tian looked puzzled. “Anyway, anyone who appears on screen must be someone of status and importance. We just need to go over and kill her to find out who she is, right? The crucial thing is to show them our determination.”

“So you’re sure that person just now is the same one?” the fat guy asked again.

He wanted to clarify this question.

Gao Tian stood there with his mouth open for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a silly laugh: “Well… actually, never mind, I won’t hide it from you. I have face blindness.”

The fat guy: “…”

“Long ago, I went to see a doctor, but the doctor said there’s no effective treatment for this condition, something about something being wrong, I can’t really remember; anyway, I can’t be cured.” Gao Tian said helplessly, “So until now, I’ve been identifying people based on their clothes.”

The fat guy: “…”

Tsk.

This explanation seems to be fine.

But why does he feel it’s a bit strange?

Ling Mo, however, didn’t ask any further: “Alright, lead the way—by the way, do you know where the others are? The other three who were with us?”

“Not sure,” Gao Tian shook his head. “The Control Hub has now sealed off all module areas, essentially turning this place into a maze. It’s pretty hard to find others in a maze—but if we just keep going up, there’s only one exit to this maze, and we’ll definitely meet there.”

Ling Mo nodded: “Okay, let’s go.”

However, just after passing through a hall, they encountered a large group of robots head-on.

Gao Tian yelled and jumped behind them: “Killer robots! They’re very strong, make sure to be careful!”

Tian Yi was left speechless: “Can’t you change your catchphrase?”

Gao Tian paused, then nodded: “We must survive, the Resistance Army needs you!”

Tian Yi: “…”

It feels like they’re a bunch of tools.

Ling Mo didn’t waste time and directly charged to the forefront to fight the group of robots. Both his and the fat guy’s fighting styles had a considerable chance of friendly fire, so after several adjustments, they were already used to splitting into two combat areas, the fat guy zapping his own, and he would blast his.

Meanwhile, Tian Yi hadn’t really found a suitable collaboration plan—his two pairs of wings were basically in chaos due to his teammates.

Fortunately, it looked a bit awkward but he didn’t sustain any substantial damage; otherwise, he didn’t know how many times he would need to refresh the prompt for a counterattack.

Maybe before he even refreshed it a few times, he would be tossed back by the fat guy and Ling Mo.

These robots were stronger than the ones they faced before, and they were equipped with ranged explosive weapons. Plus, Ling Mo occasionally triggered explosions, almost swallowing half the area in smoke, while the fat guy’s lightning arcs shot out made the place look like the God of Thunder’s palace.

And with Tian Yi, who had two wings sticking out from his back, providing background support, the scene could have been shot as a western fantasy.

However, the people involved had little interest in focusing on the magnificent sight.

While the battle was intense, Ling Mo suddenly noticed a flash of red passing around the corner of the stairs ahead.

It was the red-clothed girl that Xia Xinyan had chased before!

Ling Mo’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately blasted away all the nearby robots with a C4, then directly chased after her.

Monica seemed to know Ling Mo would follow, so she hadn’t gone far and stopped on the lower level.

When Ling Mo caught up with her, she was checking the remains of the robots they had defeated earlier.

“Back already? Where’s that girl? You two weren’t together?” Monica asked without even turning to look at him.

Ling Mo slightly furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you?”

“Monica,” she waved her hand. “But I’m not interested in men, so I advise you not to get any inappropriate ideas.”

“I have a girlfriend.”

“That’s the girl who chased me earlier, right? What a pity, I liked her a bit.”

“Who are you?” Ling Mo asked again.

Monica finally tilted her head to glance at him: “Didn’t I just tell you?”

“You know what I mean, don’t play dumb.” Ling Mo seemed to be holding back something, “And what did you say to Xinyan yesterday?”

He wanted to understand why Xinyan suddenly fell into that state yesterday.

Monica stood up and faced him, sizing him up with noticeable interest in her eyes: “What’s in it for me if I tell you?”

This guy’s abilities were far weaker than that girl’s; she wanted to see what would happen…

“If you tell me, there’s no benefit,” Ling Mo almost instantly created a large batch of high-yield bombs under his feet, with detonators in his hands, “But if you don’t tell me, there will definitely be drawbacks.”

As he spoke, he continued to construct various bombs around him, almost filling the ground beneath him and Monica to the brim.

Monica: “…Why are all of you like this?!”

I guess that’s what couples are like! They threaten people using the same moves!!

The problem is, she really didn’t dare to act too rashly. If all these bombs exploded, it might flip this entire Spire upside down, but it wasn’t the right time; she had to keep this Spire intact to investigate the truth.

And she also couldn’t take action against these people, which was quite infuriating.

What’s she, a dignified Investigator, doing being threatened by such weaklings?

Ling Mo knew he probably wasn’t her match, but as long as he could get the other party to compromise, that was enough: “So, have you thought it over?”

“I can’t tell you right now; it’s not something I can decide.” Monica showed far less patience toward Ling Mo than toward Xia Xinyan and looked rather displeased, “I’m waiting for my boss’s approval. Only when she agrees can I tell you. Otherwise, killing me won’t change anything. Your girlfriend knows all this; just ask her. Don’t worry about me running away. In other aspects, I might not be good, but keeping my word is top priority. After you leave this world, I’ll come find you.”

“This is the real world?” Ling Mo caught onto a key phrase.

“Don’t have anything to say.”

“You shouldn’t be human, right?”

“…How do you cuss?”

“Ahem, I mean, you’re not human, are you? Or not a human from Earth?”

“I told you I can’t tell you; what’s the point in asking so much now?” Monica was left speechless. “You might as well focus on figuring out things in this world. I’ve already exposed so many flaws in this City, how come you still haven’t discovered the key issues?”

“You haven’t discovered it either?” Ling Mo raised an eyebrow. “I guess you came here to deal with problems too, right? If you had found the key, you would have resolved everything by now and wouldn’t need to come check a pile of robot scrap, would you?”

Monica: “…”

She hated this man.
