Inside the presidential suite where Li Ling was staying, Zhang Jie walked in hand in hand with his wife. Behind them, the members of the Zhongzhou team, Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, Zhao Yingkong, "Fatty", Zero Point, Li Shuaixi, and Zhan Lan, filed in one after another.
Everyone is still under Zhang Jie's control.
Wang Xia and Zhu Wen immediately became alert and consciously moved behind Li Ling, watching the so-called "veterans" of the Central Continent Team that Li Ling mentioned.
They also learned from Li Ling that the two sides are currently in a state of confrontation.
Li Ling sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, looked at Zhang Jie and smiled, "You're here pretty early!"
Then, he looked at Zhang Jie's wife and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please sit down!"
Zhang Jie and his wife sat down, both with complicated expressions. Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, Zhan Lan, and others stood behind them, still in a dazed and controlled state.
Zhang Jie looked at Li Ling, sighed, and said, "If I'm willing, I'd rather give up everything and find a quiet place with Na'er to spend my life together."
Before Li Ling could speak, Zhang Jie grasped his wife's hand and continued, muttering to himself, "The so-called 'Guide' is an anthropomorphic being designed by the main god. He'll blend into the ranks, living like an ordinary person in the horror movie world."
However, he will not die. If he dies in this horror movie, then one of the newcomers in the next horror movie will definitely be the guide.
In your words, we are created virtual personalities; we do not exist.
The facilitator cannot help the team overcome difficulties. Furthermore, the facilitator can only test the team leader they have chosen, and cannot test team members other than the chosen team leader.
Furthermore, once the captain is deemed to have passed the test, the guide will, while disappearing and merging, grant the captain the ability to unlock the genetic lock by one level, and bestow upon them the position and authority of captain.
As their eyes met, Zhang Jie and Li Ling's eyes sparked with an invisible flame. Now, as the "guide," he was about to test Li Ling, the captain he had chosen!
Once Li Ling passes the test, his role as "guide" will disappear.
Zhang Jie said with a wry smile, "I am both the captain and the guide of the Central Continent Team. In the horror movie A Nightmare on Elm Street, I passed the test, but an accident occurred during the fusion process."
When I was halfway through the fusion, the boss of A Nightmare on Elm Street crossed out of the dream and killed 'Zhang Jie's' original body while we were fusioning.
But the main god did not stop the fusion process, so... I had both the memories of the guide and the memories of 'Zhang Jie', but I was still mostly the guide, since 'Zhang Jie' had already died in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
After absorbing 'Zhang Jie's' memories and body, I became an existence beyond the limitations of the main god.
Li Ling, Wang Xia, and Zhu Wen listened quietly, while the classically beautiful Na'er held Zhang Jie's hand, offering encouragement to her lover.
Li Ling said calmly, "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows."
Everyone was slightly taken aback, not expecting Li Ling to utter such a Buddhist verse, which roughly meant that some things in the world are predetermined by cause and effect.
Zhang Jie sighed and said, "Yes! It's like destiny! My existence does not conform to the rules of the main god, so the main god, sensing that something was wrong, began to deliberately increase the difficulty of the horror movies that the Central Continent Team had to face."
From the easiest Resident Evil to the terrifying Alien Queen, and then to the unsolvable horror film Ju-on with a difficulty level of 100...
Then, Zhang Jie's gaze was fixed on Li Ling again, and he exclaimed, "However, I guess even the God didn't expect that the Central Continent Team would have such a freak like you. It is precisely because of this that, after just a few horror movies, I was forced by the God to put you to the test."
"Alright! Enough talk, let's begin the duel!"
Zhang Jie released his wife's hand, stood up, and looked at Li Ling with a sharp glint in his eyes. At the same time, Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, Li Shuaixi, Lingdian, Zhan Lan, Chu Xuan, "Fatty" and others behind him also assumed an attack stance.
The members of the Central Continent Team were already quite strong, and even Zhang Jie couldn't completely control them. He could only hint to them to attack Li Ling.
Otherwise, he could have had Zero secretly snipe the enemy and then coordinate with everyone else in the operation, etc., which would have made it impossible to control the situation so precisely.
Wang Xia and Zhu Wen also went on high alert, their tensions rising.
Li Ling stood up, glanced at Zhang Jie and Na'er, and said calmly, "Even I cannot influence the rules of the Supreme God, so I apologize!"
With a swift movement, he appeared in front of Zhang Jie and pointed a finger, striking Zhang Jie squarely between the eyebrows.
Visible to the naked eye, invisible ripples spread outwards; that was Zhang Jie's almost tangible mental power. As a double-A level mental enhancer, and because of his role as a guide, he could unleash the full power of his skills, making him incredibly powerful.
If it weren't for some restrictions imposed by the main god, he could have easily racked up points like Li Ling and single-handedly crushed the previous Indian team.
Just by looking at the condition of the Zhongzhou team members, you can see how amazing Zhang Jie is.
However, Zhang Jie was still no match for Li Ling, who had already reached the third stage of the first stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and unlocked the third stage of his genetic lock. His solid and powerful spiritual energy was severely damaged by this one finger.
Then, a dot was placed between Zheng's eyebrows.
------------
Chapter 300: ? Officially Takes Over as Captain
When a finger was pointed at his brow, Zhang Jie did not show any panic or surprise. Instead, he showed an expression of expectation and relief.
Li Ling's strength was not unexpected. He had given it his all, but he still couldn't withstand a single move!
Even Zheng Zha, "Fatty", Chu Xuan, Zhao Yingkong, Li Shuaixi, Lingdian, Zhan Lan and others who were under his control did not have a chance to make a move!
The next moment, Zhang Jie, feeling relieved, and the classical beauty Na'er began to dissipate together.
Their bodies turned into specks of light, continuously flowing into Li Ling's body, much like exchanging for enhanced attributes in the God Space.
The rigid voice of the main god rang in Li Ling's mind: "The position of captain of the Central Continent Team is activated. The strength of unlocking the gene lock is being reviewed. The basic strength is the third stage of unlocking the gene lock, the first stage of evolution. The current strength is the fourth stage of unlocking the gene lock. Fusion begins."
The voice of the main god remained as rigid as ever, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, which pleased Li Ling somewhat. He had been researching this genetic civilization's thing called unlocking the gene lock for some time and had made some progress.
But that's all there is to it; they've only unlocked the first three levels of gene locks and are currently at a loss as to how to unlock the fourth level!
It's like a timely gift; this has directly unlocked the fourth-order gene lock, although it's only at the initial stage of the fourth order.
If others knew that Li Ling unlocked a first-tier gene lock almost every time he watched a horror movie, and that he unlocked the first, second, and third-tier gene locks almost consecutively, and was still not satisfied, they would probably be completely speechless...
