Chapter 677 Yuzuri-Takibai

　　”Identity verification in …… warning, identity verification lost …… identity verification successful, please pass.”

　　The cold electronic voice said halfway, ended abruptly, and then what came out became Jiang’er’s voice, the metal gate in front of An Qingyu slowly raised, and the lights in the dark corridor lit up section by section.

　　An Qingyu calmly stepped into it.

　　Walking to the end of the corridor, a huge room occupied almost a third of the experimental area, huge one-way glass surrounded the room, standing outside the glass, An Qingyu could clearly see the scene inside the room.

　　White floor tiles, white beds, white walls, white ceiling …… within the spotless white room, a figure wearing a dark cyan surgical gown was shrinking in a single sofa, holding a handle in his hand that was connected to the TV on the opposite wall.

　　On the TV screen, a sewer pipe worker, wearing red back pants, was throwing his red hat out like a boomerang, picking up gold coins on the floor skillfully as he ran toward the passable green chimney in front of him.

　　It was a very tall, very thin teenager, with delicate and three-dimensional features, a handsome buxom god, his face value was even more stunning than that of the younger Kyousuke’s uncle, like a beautiful young man who came out of a fairy tale, with a head of long, snow-white hair that was almost taller than his entire body, scattered satin-like on the sofa like a waterfall falling from the edge of the sofa to the ground.

　　His complexion was somewhat unhealthily pale, but his eyes, which were staring intently at the screen, were shining, and if one looked closely, one could see that his pupils weren’t quite the same as a normal person’s; his pupils, like a pair of crosses of stars, were flickering slightly in his black eyes.

　　”This is a thirteen year old child?” Jiang’er’s surprised voice sounded beside An Qingyu, “This height, and such appearance, how can you see that he is eighteen or nineteen years old?”

　　”The oracle ambassador injected him with a large amount of artificial hormones during the experiment, catalyzing his body’s growth process, so his physical age has long been more than thirteen, as for his head of white hair …… it should be the result of the drug after accumulating in his body for a long period of time.” An Qingyu opened her mouth and explained.

　　”Really heartless ……”

　　An Qingyu stood outside the one-way glass and observed him for a moment, “Open the door, I’ll go in and talk to him.”

　　”But we can’t be sure if he’s safe yet.” Jiang’er spoke with some concern, “In the past, it was always the Oracle who had contact with him, suddenly switching to you, he might do something unpredictable, who knows what kind of person the Oracle has cultivated him to be after all these years, if he was really cultivated as an artificial god, he’s an extremely terrifying existence… …”

　　”That’s okay.” An Qingyu smiled gently, “Open the door.”

　　As the words fell, the metal door beside him slowly lifted up, and An Qingyu straightened his lapel before stepping inside.

　　Inside the room.

　　Yuzuri Takeru White was staring intently at the screen, his fingers rapidly pressing on the handle, and even though An Qingyu had already walked to his side, he didn’t raise his head to look at him.

　　An Qingyu sized him up for a moment, sat down on the floor beside him, smiled and said in standard Japanese, “Hello.”

　　”Hello.” The white-haired teenager politely returned, his gaze still not looking at An Qingyu, he just calmly spoke, “I thought that you would continue to stand outside, not daring to come in to see me.”

　　An Qingyu’s eyes shrunk slightly.

　　He turned his head to look, the room was indeed a piece of one-way glass, from the inside it was just a mirror, there was no way to see the outside.

　　How did he know he was standing outside in such a tightly guarded laboratory?

　　”No need to look, the naked eye can’t see outside from here.” Yuzuri Takeru spoke faintly.

　　”Then how did you see it?” An Qingyu asked curiously.

　　”From the small map.”

　　”A small map?”

　　”Uh-huh.” Yuzuri Takubai slowly spoke, “What you can’t see, it’s in my spirit world, I can see that right now on this map, there’s only the red dot of you alone, and there’s also a semi-transparent red dot that’s already covered every corner of this place ……

　　This is the first time I’ve seen this, that sister is a ghost? Or is it an artificial intelligence like ‘Hazu’?”

　　Hearing these words, a flash of shock passed through An Qingyu’s eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, he continued to ask:

　　”You can see the mini-map? Besides these, what else?”

　　”There are many more, such as …… levels.”

　　On the TV screen, Mario managed to pass through a layer of levels and entered the green sewers, the words “Level +1” appeared on the screen along with Mario’s cheers.

　　Yuzuri Takubai slowly put down the handle in his hand and turned his head to look at An Qingyu, those crossed eyes seemed to directly glance into the depths of his heart, deep and unfathomable ……

　　”Rank?”

　　”Your rank is lv68, and that sister’s rank is lv63,” Yuzuri Takubai looked up at the monitor in the corner, “With you guys, you shouldn’t be able to kill a lv84 Oracle, right? What means did you use to trick them?”

　　An Qingyu froze in place.

　　Small map, level …… What this kid said, is a game?

　　Could this world be a game in his eyes?

　　No…… not right, he was able to clearly know his own position and Jiang Er’s existence, and could even visualize the realm as a level, this is no longer a simple cognitive bias …… His ability itself, is a “game”? The game of “game”?

　　An Qingyu pondered for a moment and asked:

　　”What about you? What is your rank?”

　　”I ah…… “The corners of Yuzuri Takeru’s pale mouth, raised a faint smile, “My rank, is lv97.”

　　97……

　　An Qingyu frowned in thought.

　　If this child was correct about the realm’s classification, his own lv68 represented the “Sea” realm, the oracle’s lv84 represented “Klein”, then the lv97 he spoke of corresponded to… …

　　The human ceiling.

　　An Qingyu’s eyes had completely changed when she looked at Yuzuru Takeru.

　　This group of oracles had actually relied on artificial experiments to secretly create a human ceiling level powerhouse?

　　How on earth did they do that?

　　An Qingyu’s eyes flashed with excitement and curiosity for the first time in a long time!

　　”Qingyu! I don’t think this kid is right, it’s not safe for you to be inside, hurry up and come out!” Jiang Er’s voice was transmitted from the Bluetooth headset to An Qingyu’s ears, filled with anxiety.

　　Before An Qingyu could reply, Yuzuru Takeru Bai, who was sitting across from him, lifted his head expressionlessly as if he had heard the words and looked towards the surveillance camera in the corner.

　　”Sister you don’t need to be so nervous.” He narrowed his eyes and smiled up, “I ah …… am very safe.”

　　The cross-shaped pupils in his eyes flashed with a shimmering light.

　　Prickling–!

　　The power supply system of the entire [Pure Land] was instantly cut off, and the surroundings were plunged into pitch blackness.

　　In the entire silver disk, the only thing left in this small room was the TV hanging on the wall still flickering with light, pixel-style words pieced together, flowing between the black and red light:YouDead!
