2024-10-29 19:42:56"The awakening of the Almighty System? How is that possible?" Xavier shouted, his voice trembling with fear.
When Johnson and several security guards heard the unfamiliar words, they were puzzled and confused.
However, Xavier was no ordinary man. He knew secrets that ordinary people did not.
In the West Coast, random people are mysteriously awakening a system in them, in grants them unimaginable power and money. He himself had been hoping he would be chosen by this system but he's been unlucky so far
There were rumours that you could buy the system with money but you'll have to meet with someone that already awoken it; those people are hard to find cause you don't know who has or has not awaken the system
As for Lincoln Zane, he's sure they are now sworn enemies.
At that time, he was seriously injured. He could do nothing as his best friend was being beaten, making him feel deeply helpless. Endless rage surged within him as a violent aura hung over his mind.
The anger rushed into his heart as he fainted. The flow of light emitted by his heart instantly disappeared between his eyebrows. A large amount of information rushed into his mind, almost making his head explode.
The information quickly merged with his memory and he knew everything he had to do to win this fight
Compared to these changes, the most shocking thing was the changes in his eyes. According to the information, he learned that the system had given him the ability to see more than the eye's could, more like tracking.
This system had brought great changes to Lincoln Zane. His strength, speed, will, etc. had all greatly improved. He was more powerful than ordinary people. However, he did not know this yet, so he needed more time to explore it.
It was a long story, but the whole process only took a few minutes.
After obtaining the system, Lincoln Zane's injury recovered. He was in a trance before and couldn't move at all. However, he was clear about the things happening around him.
When Xavier waved his dagger to stab Johnson, Lincoln Zane finally burst out and instantly activated all his skills according to the new information he got. Something strange happened, and everything changed in his eyes. First, the enemy's clothes disappeared.
Then, his vision became deep. Through the skin, he saw blood flowing and muscles shrinking. Everything seemed mysterious as if he were looking at a 3D image, which was indescribably wonderful.
Lincoln Zane also noticed that everyone's movements had slowed down a lot, just like slow-motion playback. That's why he could grab Xavier's hand immediately.
"Your... your strength..." Xavier's voice trembled. He was horrified, and his face turned red because he couldn't withdraw his arm even with all his strength. After all, Lincoln Zane's strength was not the same as his strength a few minutes ago.
The sudden reversal of circumstances was inappropriate for Xavier. He was lost.
"Lincoln, you..." Johnson's face was full of blood, and his eyes widened. He didn't know why such a strange thing would happen. But as a careless person, he wouldn't think about something he couldn't understand.
Johnson had initially prepared to die, but he did not expect things to work out again. If there was a way out, of course, he would not want to die. Johnson was so excited that he unconsciously called Lincoln Zane's nickname.
Lincoln Zane gave Johnson a reassuring look and said strangely to Xavier, "I want you to pay a hundredfold for hurting my friend. By the way, didn't you say you would let us go as long as we could withstand a knife strike? I'll give you a taste of your own medicine. If you could survive a knife strike, I'll let you go.
With these words, a dark look crossed Lincoln Zane's eyes. Then, he forcefully broke Xavier's arm.
Crack!
"Ouch!"
Xavier couldn't help but cry out. He was in so much pain that his teeth were chattering, and he was breaking out in cold sweats. Getting one's arm broken by someone was unbearable pain for ordinary people.
The sudden turn of events was beyond everyone's expectations. Lincoln Zane had a magnificent transformation and launched a perfect counterattack.
At that moment, Lincoln Zane, like a cold-blooded butcher, picked up the dagger from the ground and violently stabbed it into Xavier's chest. Xavier's boiling blood spurted out and splattered everywhere.
However, Lincoln Zane did not stop. He pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into Xavier's thigh. "Oops, I gave you another stab. My bad, haha."
Xavier was on the verge of collapsing. His face was pale, and his teeth were chattering. He wanted to fight back, but he couldn't. He had experienced what Lincoln Zane had experienced before.
"Devil, you're a devil! Several security guards trembled all over and hysterically roared. In their eyes, Lincoln Zane was already a devilish existence. Although they had all been cruel and ruthless, they were scared by Lincoln Zane's malicious methods at that moment.
"Haha... Am I a demon? That's ridiculous. I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine. I'm treating you the same way you treated me."
"Didn't you have a good time beating us up earlier? I want you to experience the same feelings."
Lincoln Zane laughed sinisterly. He thought it was ridiculous of them to consider him a devil. If he hadn't obtained the God's Pride Legacy, he and his best friend would have been killed.
"You know you'll have to pay the price sooner or later. Haha..."
Lincoln Zane laughed wildly. As long as he could protect his best friend, he was willing to become a demon.
Then, he made a gesture and effortlessly overturned several security guards. He also broke each of their legs as punishment.
Several security guards lay on the ground, screaming miserably. A sense of fear spread in their hearts, and they wanted to skin Lincoln Zane alive.
"Where's your prestige now? Weren't you very awesome? Come on! I'll let you hit me now." Johnson saw that the bodyguards were all rolling on the ground, and he immediately became spirited. He kept kicking and cursing at them. His 200-pound body weight was not in vain, as each of his kicks was deadly.
It was so noisy in the private room that it attracted the attention of people outside. Lincoln Zane was afraid someone would call the police, so he pulled Johnson and hastily said, "Fatso, go start the car first. We'll leave immediately."
Johnson nodded. He also knew that today's matter was a bit serious, so they had to leave as soon as possible.
"Xavier, isn't it? You can revenge on me at any time. But let me warn you. If you dare to touch my best friend, you will disappear from the world forever. Never challenge my limits."
Lincoln Zane patted Xavier's face as a murderous look crossed his eyes. Without waiting for Xavier's response, he turned around and left.
"Hmph, what's wrong with an ancient warrior? Today's matter is not over, and I will make you pay for it." Xavier held his leg with one hand and looked fierce. He swore in his heart because he was not resigned.
Lincoln Zane walked out and found a commotion outside. Many servers were shouting and screaming, and some people were even calling the police.
After looking around, he couldn't find Roland. Without staying any longer, Lincoln Zane ran out directly.
He didn't leave hastily out of fear. On the contrary, he just wanted to explore the mysterious system. There were things he still didn't understand. Therefore, he had to understand it before he could be reassured. After all, it was closely related to his future fate, so he couldn't take it lightly.
Johnson waited for Lincoln Zane to get in the car before leaving. As Lincoln Zane turned back towards the l
uxurious Heavenly Inn, he swore that he would make that giant monster submit to him one day.

The wagon was traveling very fast.The wheels kept crashing on the ground while Lincoln and Bolton were shaking helplessly inside the cabin. Neither of them talked much.Bolton was worried about his daughter, and Lincoln was thinking about the Mission Worlds."Mission Worldss are created randomly!"Lincoln had asked Evilgenius how the underground game Mission Worldss were created, and Evilgenius had given him a verified answer.Then another question had come up.What if the Inmates entered this Mission Worlds without a skill akin to [Tracking]?The answer was obvious.It was all arranged accordingly at the beginning of the Mission Worlds.When Lincoln had realized this, he had already been on his way to Bolton’s manor on the horse wagon.It was not a free condition. Instead, it was ingrained into the game’s story.No matter what kind of Inmate entered the game, and what strengths or skill sets they had, they would automatically be in that state at the beginning of the story.If the In

"I’ll need to hear all the details, from beginning to end!" Lincoln requested as he looked at the simple description of the Sub Mission."Aren’t you looking for Bolton’s daughter?

Johnny expressed his dissatisfaction with Bolton.He looked at Lincoln in disdain for a second, but he still revealed everything he knew about the case to him."The body was discovered by a drunkard near the train station just this morning. It had been left there like trash, dumped into a corner. I’ve came across a lot of evil men, but none of them would have treated a dead body like that!"As he spoke about the murder case at hand, Johnny looked frustrated. He mechanically lit up a cigarette, offering Lincoln one as well.Lincoln refused.He told Johnny that he had brought his own smoking pipe.There was no tobacco in it and Lincoln had no matches on him, but he still managed to convince John."Pipes are too messy for me, cigarettes are mo

"Sister Mony!" the middle-aged guard greeted the woman with respect.Lincoln could tell that she had not earned that kind of respect because of her age or status as a sister."Leave it to me, Reek," the elderly Sister replied with a kind, warm smile."Yes, Sister!" Reek took a bow and walked away.As he passed by Lincoln, his eyes were full of warning.He did not go far though. He stopped just beside the school gate and stood guard there.Lincoln was sure that if he behaved inappropriately towards the Sister in any way, Reek would rush over in a flash and pull out his gun without a second thought.His immense awareness said it all."Reek has no hostile intentions.

Countless formless souls were swarming the third floor, but none of them went near the staircase window. It was like their nemesis was hiding there.There was nothing there but sunlight. Sunlight! They were afraid of sunlight. Lincoln realized it in an instant, and after rolling to dodge their attack, he used both his hands and legs to jump towards the window.The formless souls tangling with Lincoln had noticed his intention and they let out a screech, flying towards him once again.This time, the formless souls threw themselves at him faster.

Jack looked at Lincoln incredulously. He could not believe his eyes.According to his calculations, Lincoln should have been fully occupied grieving for his friend’s death.Why would he be there?The questions on his mind were evident on his face and doubtful gaze."What are you saying, Mr. 2567? What do you mean it’s me? I don’t understand. I am here because I was worried Old Tom’s accomplices would take advantage of this chance and kill him!"Jack looked at Lincoln with a puzzled look, his tone even more doubtful than before.Lincoln slow-clapped. Even though he had confirmed his theory, he really had to give it to Jack. He was a remarkable actor. This was an Oscar-worthy performance."If you don’t understand, you can take a look at this."Lincoln took out the two pieces of paper."What’s this? The paper from the old master thief?

Master?
Words...No. To be precise, there was a combination of symbols and pictures before Lincoln.The blood formed two big circles, one inside the other, an inner one and an outer one. In the middle, there was an abstract drawing that looked like a scorpion.Lincoln was not completely sure that it was a scorpion. As a matter of fact, he could not even tell if it was a real symbol or picture that was formed by the blood stain.As for the words?Lincoln had never seen any words like these before. At least not that he knew of."What are these?"Lincoln looked at the gap between the two big circles. There were even more symbols there.The line started with a pentagram and ended with an upside down pentagram. By Lincoln’s calculations, there were about 41 of them.It wasn’t that Lincoln couldn’t be bothered to count them precisely. It was just that the symbols were too alien and complicated, and he could not tell whether they were mixed together forming one meaning, or if they were combinations

Old Tom was unconscious in the infirmary on the third floor. The passageway that led to the cells was also on the third floor.These two reasons were enough for Lincoln to want to visit the third floor again and Jack accompanied him there.He would have preferred to go alone, but once he thought about the cameras in the corridors, he frowned.Even with his Pro Level [Undercover] Skill, he still would not have been able to move freely. He was not invisible after all.The arrangement of the guards had been changed as well, because the Warden wanted to catch Old Tom’s accomplices.Two guards were standing there without the slightest hint of a smile on their faces. They inspected everyone that set foot on the third floor, hoping to catch the culprits.Looking at the new arrangement, Lincoln shook his head in silent disagreement. He doubted that this method would lead to the arrest of Old Tom’s accomplices.Not the very men who had caused all that chaos back there and succeeded in luring t

As the old doctor came out of his office, the Warden, who had been waiting for him on the third floor outside the infirmary, swarmed him questions."Dr. Fenkes, how is he?"After Lincoln had performed first aid to help Old Tom, they had rushed him to the infirmary and allowed Dr. Fenkes to perform emergency treatment on him."He’ll live, but he’s still out cold," the old doctor said, letting out a long breath.As the only doctor at the prison, Dr. Fenkes knew that the odds of Old Tom surviving were not particularly good.Death was Old Tom’s best option now, but that was not for him to decide. He was just a doctor after all. All he could do was carry out his duties to the fullest."Good, very good. As long as he’s alive, it’s all good. If he dies, I’ll have no way to locate his accomplices!" Warden Sherko said with a vicious expression. Warden Sherko was not an idiot.
