Doomsday Code

Chapter 955 Little Black Man

As Guster slammed his hand down, a muffled thud echoed through the space. Just as Guster was wondering if he had broken the black and white television, a somewhat indistinct human voice suddenly came from the television.

"Song, Songlong, do you know what the end of this world is?"

As the human voices became clearer, the previously static and noise-filled screen also began to become clear, and an overhead view appeared on the black and white television.

However, once the image became completely clear, the person who had just spoken was still blurred out, as if there was a mosaic around their face.

However, the mosaic and all that didn't matter anymore, because the black and white TV was currently showing the events that had just transpired between Chen Cheng and Ge Long.

Gust had seen the sacrificial artifacts that had been preserved in the tribe, but none of them were like the television set in front of him, which produced sound and images when tapped.

Although the visuals are all in black and white, the sound and images feel incredibly real.

At this moment, Gusté wanted to retreat but dared not, wanted to fight but could not.

When the little black man saw that Chen Cheng's image on the TV screen was completely pixelated, he frowned and then said:

"Take another picture. This person is a bit blurry. Make sure he's clearer."

Hearing what the little black man said, Gust had no choice but to do as he was told. He then slapped the TV again, and with another dull thud, the picture did indeed shake. The little bit of static and noise that had been there before disappeared, but Chen Cheng was still a pixelated mess.

At this moment, the little black man seemed like an extreme perfectionist. He kept telling Guster to keep filming the back of the TV, as if he wouldn't let Guster stop until the mosaic on Chen Cheng's body was removed.

Bang, bang, bang—the sound of hitting the television kept echoing in the space, but even after Chen Cheng finished talking to Kui Niu and went back to rest, the image was still completely pixelated.

As the screen turned back to static, the little black figure exuded a tense atmosphere in the air.

Throughout the entire process, the little black man not only made Gust keep filming the TV, but he also kept using the TV's search function with the remote control, trying to remove the mosaic on Chen Cheng's body, but all of these attempts ended in failure.

Just as the oppressive atmosphere was about to overwhelm Gusté, the little black man spoke.

"Thank you. You're tired, you can go back and rest now."

Before Gust could react, the scenery in front of him changed as the little black man finished speaking.

He left the forest of machines and found himself in another vast, pure white space. Instead of metal machines, the space was divided into small, transparent rooms.

From the outside, Gust could see that there were other living creatures inside these transparent little spaces.

The reason it is described as "living things" is because it includes not only intelligent races such as humans and orcs, but also ordinary beasts, birds, magical beasts, and other wild animals.

Looking through the transparent wall, Gust spotted one of the orc kings who had fought alongside him. He gestured to the Flying Leopard Orc King in greeting, but the Flying Leopard Orc King seemed not to see or hear him, and simply began searching for a way out of the house on his own.

Gust wanted to remind him about the bed, but he watched as the Flying Leopard Beast King searched the entire room, including the bed, without finding any mechanism to open it.

He then saw the Flying Leopard Beast King roaring something with his mouth wide open, followed by attacks with punches and kicks. However, like the other rooms where wild beasts and magical creatures were kept, no amount of attack could cause any damage to the room.

Seeing this, Gust immediately charged up and punched the transparent wall. However, his power was restricted, and he could not cause any damage to the transparent wall with his physical body.

Just as Gust was pounding on the wall, the little black man appeared beside him without him even noticing.

With a snap, he caught the fist that Gust had thrown.

The moment he came into contact with the little black figure, Gust's body trembled involuntarily, and his mental state was instantly subjected to an unimaginable and terrifying shock.

It felt as if he had to mentally endure the pain and despair of the deaths of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people in an instant.

If he weren't powerful enough, an ordinary demigod would have immediately lost control and become an idiot under this instantaneous impact.

Seeing the extreme pain etched on Gusté's face and body, the little black man belatedly realized that he had touched Gusté.

He then released his grip and apologized in a relaxed tone:

"I'm so sorry, I forgot I can't touch you."

"But you're quite remarkable; you possess a perfect physical body. Even the instant you touched me, your soul wasn't shattered."

The little black man nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you've already chosen this body, don't destroy my things. Besides, I need to prepare to entertain guests who have come from afar. You can rest peacefully in my collection cabinet."

With a wave of his hand, the space here instantly changed. The surrounding rooms began to recede, and then a new room appeared. Gusté lay down on the bed in the room again, just as he had when he arrived.

Seeing his collection put back into the display case, the little black man nodded in satisfaction, and then he began to hum an unknown tune as he admired his collection.

As he walked along, he carefully selected a few of his favorite collectibles and took them with him.

Inside the room, Gust's will was stronger than the little black man had imagined; he awoke from that painful nightmare in less than half an hour.

When he saw that he was back in the white room, he reached for the headboard without saying a word.

However, this time he did not touch any mechanism.

At this moment, Gust's face was solemn like never before. In his eyes, that little black man was a demon monster. That guy was not a living being. He was a demon formed from the pain, evil thoughts and all the filth of a living being after death.

The thought that this devil could silently lock him and those other creatures up like objects sent chills down Gustère's spine.

If this demon were to invade the continent of Carmack, it would be a cataclysmic event no less devastating than what happened a thousand years ago.

The last calamity had Lyca as its protector, and finally, the god of war Ajutra. But what about now?

Gust wasn't worried about the future of the entire Carmack continent; it was just that the orcs also lived on Carmack, and he was simply feeling a sense of shared sorrow.
