Work Prophet-Chapter 901 - 66: It’s Okay, Let’s Begin

The corridor was already in chaos, and in order to kill the bugs attached to them, the Terracotta Warriors began to swing their swords and hack at each other.

The Armor covering them also started showing cracks, and just then a new crisis emerged: a giant tentacle suddenly extended from the elevator, rapidly growing in size before their eyes.

Before long, it was nearly filling a third of the corridor and was still expanding.

Brad let out a gasp, and Robbin's face turned ashen.

Though the menacing tentacle quickly shrank back into a small glass jar, trembling inside, after being stabbed by a Terracotta Warrior like a baby tripping over a bedpost.

But its recent expansion had squeezed into several hazardous items, which, sensing the external threat, were awakened one by one.

The Terracotta Warriors immediately found themselves in a tough battle.

Meanwhile, still on the second floor, Li Yu, holding the now naked Shah Rukh hostage, listened carefully to the disturbances from upstairs.

He noticed the sounds of fighting were growing quieter, and just then, Lin Jianming returned, carrying two large bags of snacks he had just looted from the lab.

Li Yu took the plastic bags from him, selected the highest-calorie junk food, and dumped it all into his mouth to replenish the energy he had just lost.

And Shah Rukh was still trying to reason with Li Yu, "Sigh, you're the Savior now; there's nothing you can't negotiate with the company about, no need to make things like this.

"It's not too late to stop now. To be honest, I have some connections with some board members; I can help you see if this matter can be handled lightly, but you have to set me free first..."

Li Yu asked Lin Jianming, "Has he always been this annoying?"

Lin Jianming wanted to nod but finally shook his head with difficulty as Shah Rukh kept staring at him.

"I, I can't help you anymore. I want to keep this job; without it, I'll just be stuck here on Earth waiting to die," Lin Jianming said weakly.

"And then on the other side, won't you still be working under this guy?"

Lin Jianming was stunned and, before he could ask further, saw Li Yu gesture for silence, as there was no sound from upstairs.

While Li Yu was focused on listening, the door of Elevator No. 1 to his left suddenly opened.

Li Yu thought it might be the building's security personnel arriving again, but unexpectedly, it was Shi Yitong, who had greeted him not long ago, who stepped out from behind the elevator door.

Shi Yitong looked somewhat complicated as she gazed at Li Yu, "It really is you."

"What do you mean, it's really me?"

"The explosion and attack just now, it's your doing, isn't it?"

Li Yu did not evade nor deny it, simply said, "Yes, it was me."

"Why?" Shi Yitong couldn't comprehend.

Clearly, Li Yu had passed the test and become the Savior, yet at the last moment, he chose to betray the Third Era.

"You should be able to guess the reason," Li Yu said calmly, "After all, we both come from the business department."

Shi Yitong's expression grew more complex upon hearing this, "Do you really intend to become Prometheus? His fate as a traitor wasn't good."

However, this time Li Yu did not answer Shi Yitong's question. Instead, he checked his watch.

"Sorry, this might not be the best time for a philosophical discussion; I have matters to attend to."

After pausing, Li Yu continued, "Now it's your turn to choose, whether to step aside or to intend to stop me?"

Shi Yitong's face changed again upon hearing this, revealing her inner struggle, and after a moment, she spoke with difficulty.

"I owe you my life; I can die for you, but... I can't just watch you destroy the world, destroy our civilization."

Li Yu was not angry at her words but instead comforted her, "It's alright, I understand and respect your choice, but I'm really pressed for time right now, so... if you're ready, let's begin."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yitong nodded and reached into her pocket to grip the pen inside.

She had already thought of the first thing to draw—a katana.

Her divine sequence, though not as outrageous as Li Yu's "Reborn," was very rare, known as the Divine Pen.

It could manifest things drawn, though their existence wouldn't typically exceed four hours, and drawing something worthy of the pen's acknowledgment was not easy.

To this day, Shi Yitong had only been able to manifest sixty-four items with the Divine Pen, and while the katana was not the most powerful weapon among them, it was the easiest to draw.

Shi Yitong now needed just two strokes to draw the katana, the most appropriate opening move.

However, the moment she took out the pen, Li Yu also pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointing it at the stunned Shi Yitong.

"I just picked this up from a security guard," Li Yu explained.

"......"

Without waiting for Shi Yitong to reply, Li Yu advanced swiftly and knocked her out.

Afterward, he knocked out Shah Rukh and Lin Jianming as well, before taking the elevator to the third floor.

By then, the corridor was silent, and as the elevator doors opened, Li Yu cautiously walked out, holding the pistol, his gaze scanning the wreckage.

The floor was littered with clay fragments, shards of glass, the corpses of bugs, and broken stone coffins...

Li Yu looked up at the surveillance, discovering that three out of four cameras in the corridor were already damaged, and the one remaining wasn't facing them, so Li Yu dealt with it with his pistol as well.

The gunshot echoed through the empty corridor, and after finishing, Li Yu's body hair suddenly stood on end.

The next moment, his right arm, which held the gun, inexplicably fell from his shoulder and shattered like glass upon hitting the ground.

Li Yu endured the pain, desperately searching for the source of the attack, but saw nothing until his gaze fell upon the half mirror on the ground.

In the mirror, his own reflection stared coldly back at him, grinning with a ghostly face, and then suddenly the reflection was covered in cracks.

Li Yu instinctively reached up to touch his face, and as soon as his fingers touched the skin, he exploded like a glass doll, shattering into countless pieces scattered across the floor.

After killing Li Yu, the half mirror returned to its ordinary appearance, showing no signs of abnormality.

About ten minutes later, the mirror was suddenly covered by a shirt.

The resurrected Li Yu then picked up the ominous-looking mirror from the ground.
