"It's just an empty shell that will rot. You know this better than anyone else. Why bother?"
The tentacle man's expression was uncertain: "You don't understand at all!"
Su Qi looked at him:
"I'm not here to discuss philosophy like consciousness and existence with you, but to talk about cooperation."
"simply put."
Su Qi said calmly, "I can let you talk to your daughter."
The tentacle man suddenly looked up, his eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Really?"
"Of course it's real, and it's much more promising than tinkering with these things, but."
Su Qi said something that made the tentacle man look terrified:
"You have to help me get to the source of the collapse."
Chapter 15 Preparations for the Source of Collapse
The tentacle man limped down the corridor, his face hesitant: "Are you really going to the source of the collapse?"
"It's an extremely dangerous place. It's full of completely polluted monsters. No living creature dares to approach it."
"I know. I went to the city center yesterday." Su Qi knew the dangers there better than he did. "That's why I came to you for cooperation."
Tentacle Man: "."
The residents in the past were all monsters, each one was crazy and abnormal, but even so, they were all extremely afraid of the outside world.
Finally a normal Su Qi came.
But I found out that he was the most abnormal one. He was actually interested in the source of the collapse and looked like he had to go there.
The tentacle man sighed and walked to the door of the apartment warehouse: "I understand, I will do my best to help you."
"But can you really let me talk to my daughter?"
Su Qi said: "I never lie."
"Bullshit, you said before that you put all the pollutants back." Veins popped out on the tentacle man's face. The reason he was limping was because he was hit too hard and almost collapsed.
Su Qi: “.”
He said calmly:
"Relax, put your heart in your pelvis."
He didn't lie to me. When he was on the third floor, he saw the information on the little girl.
It shows above.
[The remaining soul is trapped in this polluted world and cannot be freed. Put an old item she used in the attic and draw a five-pointed star on it. You can listen to her wishes and perhaps you will find something.]
Suki guessed.
This is a side quest for exploring the third floor.
Without thinking too much, everyone knew that the wish must be related to her old father, either to resolve her father's knot or to free her.
Then, with her help, he will gradually discover the identity of the administrator, uncover the truth, and then have a big battle. Finally, he will influence the crazy tentacle man, and then the father and daughter will reunite and shed tears. The subtitles at the end of the movie will appear.
This is roughly the process for ordinary players to pass the level, otherwise they will not be able to compete with the tentacle man.
Unfortunately.
Suki doesn't follow procedure.
After the tentacle man opened the warehouse door, a terrifying breath came from inside. The air seemed to be much colder, which made people shudder.
He said in a deep voice:
"I'm not a good person, but I never kill indiscriminately. I will provide food and shelter to every guest for two years. I will only deal with them when they break the rules or become completely polluted."
“And the parts of them that were created due to pollution have been preserved as pollutants.”
Su Qi took a look and found a large number of glass jars in the warehouse, which were full of various pollutants and contained some of the power left by the original owner.
"If you want to go to the source of the collapse, you need to consider two things. One is how to get close to the source without collapsing, and the other is to avoid those huge monsters." The tentacle man looked at Su Qi: "I think you have solved the first point, but the second point can only be solved by me."
The tentacle man adjusted his glasses. He was not crazy, but had a wise look on his face. "Based on my two years of research and experiments, I have almost completely understood pollutants and anomalies."
"The power they contain is very strange, just like a virus. Even if the host dies, they will not dissipate immediately. Once they gather together, they will be extremely powerful."
The tentacle man offered Suqi two options:
"Although your palm eye is not a combat ability, it is very useful for monsters. If you can absorb these pollutants, you may be able to grow to an extremely powerful level. This may create a certain amount of gap time and reach the source of the collapse."
"Of course you know the side effects. You will become a monster like them and lose your mind."
Su Qi decisively passed: "What about the second one."
"Then I will create a monster, a terrifying monster formed by gathering all the pollutants, to give you the opportunity to get close."
Su Qi's eyes flickered, judging its feasibility, and soon he nodded: "We can give it a try."
The two hit it off and began to work out a plan.
the following few days.
The tentacle man stayed in the warehouse and continued to conduct experiments.
Su Qi was not idle either. He went out to collect a large number of strange corpses in order to preserve his only 70 points of mental power as much as possible.
He only went out once a day, and the time he was away was always within fifteen minutes, returning to the apartment at the end of the clock.
This way, there will be no consumption of mental energy.
The Lump Man and the Slit Woman were not dead at this time, but were imprisoned by the Tentacle Man with toxins.
Although the two men were unable to move their bodies, their consciousness was exceptionally clear.
They never imagined that the tentacle man was actually the most terrifying manager in the apartment.
The young man next to him, who was regarded as a popular commodity, not only played with them at will, but also did not let the administrator go, and he was talking and laughing.
But now there was no madness in their eyes, only deep fear in their eyes when they looked at Su Qi.
Day .
The pollution complex finally took shape, and after the tentacle man injected a large amount of neurohormones, it was able to produce a certain degree of autonomous activity.
Day .
Then they gradually put in large amounts of pollutants and various strange flesh and blood as energy.
Seventh day.
Su Qi triggered the exclamation mark, allowing the tentacle man to have a conversation with his daughter.
Except for the first ten minutes, when Suqi asked a few questions, the rest of the time was entirely given to the tentacle man.
Eighth day.
The pollution complex is even larger than imagined, and the entire first floor of the apartment cannot accommodate it. However, the tentacle man is not satisfied with it. All he wants is speed and to be able to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
At the same time, Su Qi also discovered that the other party did not slack off at work after contacting his daughter. Instead, he worked more attentively and determinedly than before.
What seemed to have happened during the time when I was not on the third floor?
ninth day.
There was no longer any problem with the comprehensive contaminated body, and the tentacle man began to transform the slit woman and the lump man without stopping.
On the tenth day, everything was ready.
Su Qi also saw that one of his main tasks, surviving for ten days, had been completed and he could teleport out of the copy at any time.
"I'm getting ready to leave." Su Qi smiled and stretched out his hand to the tentacle man: "I won't come back this time. You've had a hard time these past few days."
The tentacle man also stretched out his tentacles, but did not hold Su Qi. Instead, he picked up the backpack on the ground and put it on his back.
Su Qi was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "No need to do this, I am different from you, and our cooperation has ended today."
If you go there alone, you can complete the task and leave the dungeon at any time.
But the tentacle man is different. If he dies, he is really dead.
but.
The tentacle man looked very calm, as if he had made the decision long ago.
"I had to go there for two reasons. One was that this pollution complex could only be controlled if it was within a hundred meters of me."
"Second, I have spoken to my daughter many times in the past few days. She is in pain and afraid. This polluted world has imprisoned her, and she wants to be liberated."
Su Qi looked at him with some surprise: "You are so enlightened? Can you let it go?"
This tentacle man is an out-and-out daughter-con, and a psychologically dark one at that.
"How could I bear to do that!" The tentacle man's eyes turned red, and his voice was a little hoarse: "It's just..."
“When I was making the pollution complex, I seemed to see a wrong ending. I was afraid of myself. Should I let my daughter be relieved from the pain, or should I selfishly leave her to suffer in this world?”
"And most importantly," the tentacle man raised his head tremblingly:
"My daughter is asking me for help!"
"I was unable to save her life on the operating table before, so how can I bear to see her in pain now?"
He gritted his teeth and grabbed Su Qi's shoulders, with an unprecedented determination on his face: "So no matter what, I must go."
Chapter 16 Reaching the End
Suki and the tentacle man stepped out of the apartment door.
Outside the door, there is a mountain that looks like a cement monster. It is a garbage dump composed of various flesh, blood, and pollutants, that is, a pollution complex.
Currently it is only as big as a basketball court.
But then along the way, it will devour everything on the street and grow gradually.
Besides.
