474 God-system ? (1/2)
Zhao Yao's eyes lingered at this suspicious character for a split second before he reached his arm forward and tossed him behind the extradimensional belly gate. The thick mist rendered everyone oblivious to his disappearance.
Zhao Yao commanded the cats inside his belly, ”I want you to interrogate him and find out what's wrong with him.”
This seemingly ordinary man stared dumbfoundedly as darkness blanketed his vision before he opened his eyes to a foreign land. He turned his head around to see tens of cats staring viciously at him.
Matcha licked his paws in a blood-curdling manner. With his eyes fixed on him, Matcha shouted at Old Cat, ”Old Cat, tell this man to answer truthfully for these claws have no eyes.”
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had initially planned to tag behind the two Americans as they ventured forth. However, he had to forgo this plan for a more expedient approach.
”If it wasn't for Rice Cake, I could have simply followed behind them and find out what exactly is going on. This would at least save me from any mysterious power's sneak attack.”
”However, I need to get Rice Cake out asap. I need to resort to a more efficient plan while also completing these victims' missions.”
With that, Zhao Yao translated his thoughts into action. An illusion blanketed down on the victims, robbing them including the two Americans of their five senses. In one fell swoop, Zhao Yao tossed all of them into the extradimensional belly.
Xiao Yu stared at this puzzling scene and asked, ”What are you trying to do?”
Zhao Yao replied sternly, ”I'm obviously trying to save all of them. How can you bear to leave them down here as they wait in vain for help that might never arrive?”
There was only one place which could accommodate them all. Hence, Zhao Yao had no choice but to temporarily house these unconscious people in his belly.
After all, these were premium material for Zhao Yao to work with. He intended to cash them out slowly. When Rice Cake's issue is resolved, he would have more than enough time to deal with these flustered individuals, one by one.
After settling the distressed, Zhao Yao focused his attention back on the Americans. He thought about it briefly before deciding on keeping William while throwing the other one into his belly. With a snap of his fingers, he had cast another illusion as he slowly seeped into William's consciousness.
William felt as if a whirlwind had exploded in his head as he jolted awake. Immediately, he was alerted to an agonizing pain running down his arm. To his shock, it was a huge spider! He immediately swatted it away only to reveal his swollen arm. He was arrested with fear as he thought, ”Am I poisoned?”
However, he instantly felt a mysterious flow of warm energy emerging from that same spot.
”Is this … power?”
A flurry of images whizzed through his head. These were images Zhao Yao had implanted using his illusion
Spiderman, Spiderman 2, Spiderman 3 …
”What the f*ck is going on? I haven't even watched Spiderman 3. Why would I even think of it?”
However, the images which popped into his head ignored his words as they continued flooding him with all the movie footages.
The brainwashing was taking effect as William stared at his arm in disbelief, ”Don't tell me that this spider bite has also awakened the power residing within me?”
While William was stuck in his own thoughts, darkness had once again blanketed his vision. He couldn't see anything. It was just emptiness. Suddenly, a panel materialized out of the void. On it, a word was printed – gd-syste.
”What … what … is this?” William stared in shock at this baffling scene. He immediately googled the word and realized that it comprised two modules in its most basic form. They were 'physical properties' and 'mission panel'.
By continually completing more missions, he could improve his physical properties in the fields of strength, speed, and intelligence. With a stronger body, he could take on even more daunting missions which would unlock hidden features within the system.
