Chapter 339: I Want to Play a Game

A few days ago.

Inside the Spire Experimental Base, Chen Chen looked at the two black spheres taken from the Gantz dimension again, wearing an anguished look.

The little bit of electricity he had painstaking accumulated was used up again.

In addition to the one extracted before, Chen Chen now had three black spheres.

“We can only extract the black spheres.”

Little X said somewhat ruefully, “After all, there”s no close-up shot of the Gantz satellite in the movie Gantz. We can’t extract it. Although we have also obtained the blueprint of the satellite, it’s relatively challenging to reproduce this kind of satellite.”

“Indeed, without a Gantz satellite, long-distance teleportation is impossible.”

Chen Chen nodded. If there was a Gantz satellite to act as the hub, the target could be transmitted to any designated location as long as it was within the signal radiation range of the Gantz server.

If there was no Gantz satellite for support, only point-to-point teleportation could be performed, that was, the mutual teleportation between two Gantz black spheres.

Of course, if they did not even have a Gantz server, then the Gantz spheres were essentially useless junk.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen raised his head and looked at the corner of the three laboratories, where a spiral cone full of weird intricate patterns was placed quietly.

This was the Gantz server manufactured by Little X. Except for its size being much smaller than the one that Chen Chen saw in the world of Gantz, the rest of it was the same in appearance and design.

Moreover, the artificial intelligence in this server was X-112, which had been transformed into E language.

Now everything was in place and they only lacked one final piece.

After the conversation between Chen Chen and Little X, three naked men walked in from outside the door, nodded toward Chen Chen, then turned around and walked toward the three black spheres.

As if in response, the three black spheres suddenly gave a click, and two rows of display shelves suddenly spread out on both sides of each black sphere, exposing an internal gap.

From Chen Chen’s point of view, he could faintly make out that it was a seat, just that the space was a little smaller.

Immediately, the three naked men got in without hesitation and curled up in the narrow gaps.

Then the two rows of display racks suddenly closed and the entire Gantz sphere shrank back into a perfect ball shape again.

“The ‘CPU’ has entered.”

Little X reminded. “The black spheres indeed use human brains as their CPU. It may be the reason the dimension in Gantz didn’t have powerful artificial intelligence. Therefore, you can only rely on the human brain to perform the astronomical calculations needed for teleporting matter.

“After all, the human brain has about 100 billion neurons. Each neuron is equivalent to a microprocessor, which is much stronger than a computer’s transistor, and each neuron is connected to hundreds of nearby neurons. It’s hundreds of times more complex than the connection of a computer transistor. Once this is borrowed by the black sphere, amazing computing power can be unleashed.

“In other words, the brain is the most complex computer created by nature.”

Chen Chen nodded and said, “Are these people my clones?”

Little X replied, “Yes, all the clones in the T-virus experiment have brains, so they can act as the CPUs of the black spheres.”

Hearing this, Chen Chen looked at the Gantz server at the side again and said excitedly, “In that case, let’s start the experiment process. As long as the experiment is successful, it means that we’ll no longer be restricted in terms of transportation and can deploy our forces globally...”

...

A few days later, in the present.

In the Gulf of Lion, France, a huge black ship was anchored in the port, attracting the attention of countless tourists there.

This was located in the European Mediterranean area while the Gulf of Lion was located on the southern coast of France, only 200 kilometers away from Switzerland.

The huge black ship had been inspected by the authorities before, so it could be anchored in the port. At this time, the huge black ship that had been parked here overnight suddenly emitted a deafening whistle, started up again, and began to leave the port.

Just like when it came, it did not carry a single passenger when it left as if it was so out of step with this world that it left by itself.

The name of this huge ship was the Blacklight, the world’s largest private cruise ship.

What everyone did not know was that hundreds of people were being held in the depths of the cargo warehouse in this cruise ship.

“What kind of joke is this, what Gantz, what comic... What the h*ll are you talking about!”

In the dark and damp cargo warehouse of the cruise ship, a plump man with large limbs and a face twisted in panic clung tightly to another man.

The man who was grabbed wore an extremely cold expression. Even with someone practically throttling him, he just smiled faintly. “I’ve already explained it. If you still don’t understand, then that’s your problem.”

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand and grasped the other man’s wrist. In the next second, the face of the plump, large-limbed man twitched, and his complexion instantly turned from red to white. An incredulous look flashed in his eyes.

What he felt was as if his wrist was being clenched by a pair of iron tongs. A heartrending agony tore through him and he had to let go of his grip and released the other man.

“D*mn it, let go!

“Agh... Let go, let me go...”

Even so, the man’s grip on his wrist was still not loosened. The severe pain caused him to curl up subconsciously, unable to exert even a trace of strength...

“That’s enough, you can let go now!”

At this moment, Fisher stepped forward from one side and patted the man on the shoulder. “The situation is unclear now. This is no time to fight!”

The man turned his head when he heard the words, and shot a mild look at Fisher before releasing his grip.

At once, the large-limbed man quickly cradled his wrist and hurriedly backed away as if the man in front of him was a devil.

The sight of this surprised many people. After all, compared to the strong man who was close to two meters tall and sturdily built, the other man in front of him was only of medium build and did not even have defined muscles, being quite thin.

Who would have thought that this ordinary physique contained such a formidable explosive strength...

“My good man, what’s your name?”

Fisher was also secretly surprised, but on the surface, he was the leader of the White Embers organization, after all, so he just said in the manner of a higher-up, “Are you also a member of the organization? Why haven’t I seen you in the White Embers?”

“I’m just a minor figure.”

The man shook his head and did not change his attitude just because of Fisher’s friendliness, only saying, “My name is Stephen, Mr. Fisher.”

“Very well, Stephen, now can you continue to tell us what this strange ‘Gantz’ comic is about?”

Fisher did not seem to mind about the man’s cold attitude but instead displayed an expression of appreciation. “Please?”

“If you insist.”

Stephen nodded and began speaking again, “The setting of ‘Gantz’ is in 1999 AD, which is more than 20 years ago, when the human government created this kind of black sphere to select a super fighter. This is to withstand a catastrophe that is about to emerge in the future...”

“What sort of joke is this, how can humans create such a thing!”

But before he had finished talking, someone retorted again. A young black man pointed to the black sphere in the distance and said in an accent, “Who here thinks that this d*mn thing can be created by humans? It’s able to teleport a person from the land to a ship in an instant? Brother, are you kidding me?”

“Alright, shall we listen to Stephen’s talk before asking questions?”

Fisher frowned and a glum look flashed across his features. Faced with this sort of unknown, even his leader’s identity could not quite keep this group of people under control...

However, just before he finished speaking, a whistling sound suddenly came from above them. At the same time, there was a vibration throughout the gloomy room and the sound of ocean waves.

Everyone was shocked. Someone spoke aloud, “The ship is moving!” Everyone suddenly panicked again, scattering around like crazy, looking for an exit.

“Everyone, keep quiet, let’s all calm down. The situation hasn’t yet reached its worst...”

Fisher wanted to continue to rally the troops, but this group of people was not soldiers after all, but a group of dangerous desperadoes. At this point, almost no one obeyed his instructions.

Nonetheless, in this chaos, the only thing Fisher was pleased to note was that the two blonde women and several guards trained by him were still following him silently.

In addition, Stephen was also standing there, a far cry from the panicking crowd.

“Stephen, do you have any theories and suggestions for the present?”

Fisher stared wildly at the man’s eyes, half bewildered and half forceful. “Tell me. If we can survive and leave this place, I’ll repay you with so much money that you can’t finish spending it in a lifetime!”

“My guess is that someone has learned the technology in the comics and replicated the technology of the black sphere, which led to what is happening now.”

Stephen wore a thoughtful look. “And haven’t you noticed that when this ship started off just now, the swaying was much more minimal compared to the ships I usually board. It seems that only those giant cruise ships will behave in this manner at sea.”

“Cruise ship?”

Fisher was taken aback for a moment, then he seemed to realize something, and there was a flash of panic in his eyes. “Blackwatch’s cruise ship... the Blacklight?”

“Very possibly.”

Stephen nodded when he heard these words and said softly, “Haven’t we just made a move attacking Blackwatch? Then it should be normal for the other party to counterattack. The only difference is that you didn’t seem to expect that their counterattack would be this swift.”

“Impossible!”

Fisher shook his head, saying in disbelief, “We’ve killed the helm of this company and their senior management should’ve promptly descended into a mess. How could they immediately counterattack? And how could they have known it was me... Impossible!”

“In that case, I don’t know. I can only guess as much.”

Stephen was not interested in defending his opinion at all. He just smiled coldly, turned and walked to the corner of the room, and rested in silence.

Fisher was in the same situation, but when he considered that the ones who captured them might be his very own target — Blacklight Biotechnology — Fisher’s heart was completely muddled. This meant that there was no room for reconciliation between Blackwatch and this group of captured persons. Simply put, everyone here including him was as good as dead!

“Could that really be the case?”

Fisher muttered in a low voice. He looked at the maddening crowd all around him and only felt a clamor of noise in his brain. He almost wanted to take out his gun and kill them all, but when he subconsciously touched his waist, he immediately realized that his gun had disappeared.

He still remembered that before he was teleported here, the gun was clearly in his hand, but at this point, any metal object he used to carry was no longer with him, let alone the gun.

“Does Blackwatch already have technology that surpasses the Earth Federation?”

Stephen’s analysis was still resounding in his ears and it felt like there was a fog before Fisher’s eyes. If this was the case, it was very likely that even the person he had killed was a fake...

From beginning to end, the other guy had played with him like a cat toying with a mouse, just waiting for him to contact the high-level members, to seize everyone behind the scenes of the White Embers in one fell swoop.

Yes, the other guy must have had this in mind...

As he realized this, Fisher’s heart turned into a slab of ice.

However, just as everyone was screaming themselves hoarse, their minds about to snap, there was a sudden burst of music.

It was a special kind of music. If one heard it in normal times, it would seem to be just a conventional tune. Even the key was as simple as a children’s song. Still, at this time, in line with everyone’s hysterical mood, there was something unspeakably eerie and conspicuous about it.

“I’m my mother’s darling, I pee in the toilet, I don’t poop everywhere, I’m a civilized youngster...”

“Oh f*ck, my brothers, let’s goooo!”

“Lu Benwei[1] rocks, Lu Benwei rocks, Lu Benwei rocks, Lu Benwei rocks, Lu Benwei rocks!!!”

“What the h*ll are you being so loud for!”

“The only heartthrob of Social Shake[2] is DYZSY!”

“You look at me, and I look at you too!”

...

“Chinese? Japanese?”

There was a burst of weird musical sounds and everyone who had been so noisy was now completely quiet. Everyone looked at each other in silence with a dazed expression.

Although they could not understand those strange words, they could tell that it sounded like the language of Mainland China or the East China Sea Continent.

Just when everyone was flummoxed, a line of English words suddenly appeared on the surface of the black sphere...

“Your lives have ended. How you use your new lives is entirely up to me. That’s the theory, anyway.”

Among the crowd, Stephen, who had been standing silently in the distance, observing everything coolly, suddenly narrowed his eyes and murmured in a low voice, “Sure enough, this is the opening text of the black sphere, but the words have changed from Japanese to English...”

When they saw this line of words, everyone was in an uproar. Some begged for mercy, some cursed and scolded, and some even rushed up frantically, kicking the black sphere incessantly.

It was just that no matter how they kicked it, they could not leave a single mark on this perfectly round black ball.

Seeing this scene, some wary people who were secretly observing, including Fisher, became more convinced that this was a high-tech tool far exceeding the Earth Federation.

Still, this line of words was not displayed for long, because the words only appeared for thirty seconds before disappearing again. At the same time, a strange, funny puppet face suddenly appeared on the black sphere’s screen.

With the appearance of the puppet face, a deep and heavy voice followed...

“I want to play a game...”
