Exiled from the underworld, I am still fearless

The old man standing outside the door was short in stature, wearing glasses, with only a little white hair on both sides of his bald head.

Although he looked like an inconspicuous little old man, the eyes under the lens were so deep that it was hard to understand.

Misaka Mikoto heard the sound and looked towards the door, and recognized the old man at a glance.

"Dr. Nogg?"

Zhang Shan had never seen this person before, but during the two days before he was in a coma, the other teammates of the team knew who this person was.

This old man known as "Dr. Nog" is the manager of this underground village, the inventor of the vein blocker, and the grandfather of Norili and Nokaka.

Standing at the door of the room, Dr. Nog's face was solemn, and his voice revealed a sense of powerlessness that he tried to hide as much as possible.

"You mentioned the World-Exterminating Core just now. You came to the Misty Forest this time to find the key to open it, right?"

The expressions of everyone have silently answered Dr. Nog's question.

In the silence, his eyes dimmed and he sighed heavily.

a long time.

He gave way to the door and gestured to everyone in the room.

"Come with me."

On the other side, it seems that the plot of the game is unfolding at this moment, Zhang Shan has no idea what the old man is going to do.

But he knew that there must be "ghosts".

"Walk."

Without hesitation, several people in the room exchanged glances, and immediately followed Dr. Nog out.

After passing through the underground village where survival supplies were piled up, they boarded a crude elevator and continued down.

"drop!"

The green light in the elevator came on and the elevator stopped.

The iron door opened, and a space of nearly [-] square meters appeared in front of him.

Dr. Nogg gestured.

"This is my private laboratory, come in."

There are a lot of equipment in this laboratory, but at this time it doesn't look like research is going on at all.

The screens of the various instruments were all turned off, and even the table in the corner had accumulated a lot of dust.

The old Dr. Nog walked to a laboratory table and sat down, and said to everyone.

"Sorry, I don't have enough chairs here, you can do whatever you want."

Zhang Shan looked around the hidden laboratory and asked in doubt.

"Doctor, you called us here"

"I want to ask you one thing."

Zhang Shan was taken aback.

"what's up?"

Dr. Nogg lowered his head slightly, staring blankly at the floor.

"I would like to ask you to draw the final end to this lost civilization of mankind."

This sentence made everyone standing in the laboratory startled at the same time.

"This"

Afterwards, Nog's vicissitudes of voice told about the origin of the "Nuclear of Destruction".

Scientists from all over the world have reached a helpless consensus on this point that the virus infected by the machine cannot be completely eliminated.

So when human beings decide to escape from this planet, they also paved the way for the distant future.

Before escaping, human beings integrated all the last resources of the world and launched a plan called "Mie Shi". As the name suggests, "Mie Shi" means to destroy everything in this world, including the out-of-control machines.

The specific plan is that somewhere in the world, a super weapon capable of engulfing more than 90.00% of the world's continental surface is preset.

After activation, the natural environment will change due to the big bang, the entire surface will continue to emit high-intensity electromagnetic radiation, and the atmosphere will change. The existing creatures on the surface of this planet will almost disappear, and all traces of human civilization will be completely destroyed. for dust.

Only by accelerating destruction can we usher in rebirth faster.

Scientists believe that decades, hundreds, and thousands of years after the Big Bang, the planet will one day complete a "reboot."

At that time, if the descendants of human beings who escaped from this planet still continue in the universe, then this mother star, which is the starting place, can return again.

This is the whole picture of [World Extermination Plan].

However, until all the spacecraft carrying the continuation left the planet, in the end, the plan to destroy the world did not start.

That's right, perhaps out of guilt for the abandoned, or perhaps because they still have a fluke mentality, the high-level power holders of the World Federation left the "key" to open the plan to destroy the world to the abandoned compatriots.

inside the laboratory.

After saying these things, Dr. Nog seemed to have aged ten years.

"This world has long been doomed because of human greed, but I have been refusing to accept this fact, thinking that miracles can be created, but until now, it is difficult for us to even struggle and survive."

Although this desperate fact is reasonable, hearing it now still makes everyone feel a little complicated.

Misaka Mikoto's pupils flickered.

"How could this be? Could it be that the key to unlock the world-destroying core refers to..."

Ash frowned and clenched his fists.

"Old man, but there are still people living in this world. If this world is completely destroyed, then this village will not be."

Dr. Nogg's voice became very soft.

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not make such a decision. According to the current development, this kind of underground village will not be able to maintain within a few years."

"But."

"If I wait until that time, I'm afraid no one will be able to successfully open the world-destroying core. I'm already a sinner. I don't want to ruin the future of this planet because of my own hesitation at the last moment. The end is also the beginning. Destruction, It is also rebirth."

In the room, Zhang Shan has not spoken.

Looking at Dr. Nog's ashamed expression, he knew that this was not giving up, nor was it impulsive, but the final choice made after careful consideration.

At the same time, it is the only choice.

He didn't know what kind of person Dr. Nog used to be. Maybe he was one of the creators of the mechanical body, or maybe he was one of the supporters of the plan to destroy the world.

It's just that in the end, he didn't escape with the spaceship, but chose to stay on this lost planet.

Now, except for their team, I am afraid that no one can leave this foggy forest and bring the key to the designated place in the dangerous environment where day and night alternate.

"Doctor, do you have the key to unlock the World Annihilation Core?"

"Yes."

Zhang Shan stretched out his hand expressionlessly.

"give it to me."

Dr. Nuoge and Zhang Shan looked at each other for a few seconds.

Finally, he showed a relieved smile blooming in despair.

"Thank you."

----

A diamond-shaped object with a complex structure was placed in Zhang Shan's palm by Dr. Nuoge.

Just as he touched the key, the system prompt sounded.

【Ding!After completing the main task, you will be rewarded with 200 points and 1000 unlimited coins. 】

【Ding!Player level increased to 10. 】

[Reminder: Reaching the corresponding level, the good and evil value system of the Infinity Tower has been unlocked. 】

【Ding!The fourth stage of the main task has been refreshed, please go to the task list to view it. 】

----

Holding this key that can destroy the world, Zhang Shan's heart is not disturbed.

"Doctor, why do you entrust us with such an important matter? Do you know who we are?"

"I know."

Not only Zhang Shan was taken aback by this sentence, but Ash and the others were also puzzled.

Could it be that the original residents of the dungeon world actually knew about the existence of the Tower of Infinity?

However, Dr. Nog's next words are more "scientific" than this guess.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be time travelers."

Time traveler?

Okay.

After all, in the eyes of scientists, "time travel" is easier to accept than "time travel".

Some people say that the rescuer is also the perpetrator, and obliteration is also a kind of salvation.

Of course, Zhang Shan didn't want to think about this kind of philosophical question at all, because it had nothing to do with him.

Whether it's rescue, obliteration, destruction, or rebirth, he doesn't want to care about it.

The demise of this world is imminent, and the key is just inserted by his hand. In the final analysis, this is just a copy world on the ninth floor of the Tower of Infinity.

In his eyes, this is just a game.

Therefore, even if he needs to bear something, he is not afraid, he must lead his team to victory.
