Chapter 212: The Director\'s Face

"Go and see if he\'s dead. If he\'s not dead, then give him this advanced healing card."

As soon as Eyeless departed, Anaconda and the others immediately slithered over to Medusa.

"But your arm..."

"It\'s just a minor injury. An elementary healing card will suffice. I didn\'t think that his reflexes and telegnosis would be so bad..."

.

Medusa was rather surprised by how lackluster Adam\'s telegnosis was.

Even though she had intentionally thrown Adam to the wolves, she had always regarded Adam as an adapter on the same level as herself, so she had genuinely thought that he would\'ve been able to weather the storm. Theoretically speaking, an invocator of his caliber should\'ve been able to sense danger and react in advance. At the very least, he should\'ve been able to invoke and fuse with Clown before the attack arrived.

"We only have one advanced card."

"It\'s fine. Take it to them."

By the time Anaconda made her way over to Adam with the advanced healing card, he had already been surrounded by his teammates.

However, none of them appeared to be particularly furious or grief-stricken. Instead, they were merely looking on with dazed expressions, as if they couldn\'t believe what they were seeing. Anaconda took a curious peek at what was happening, upon which she was greeted by the sight of a sludge monster picking up its own head before stuffing it into its abdominal cavity.

After being sucked into the sludge monster\'s abdomen, the head seemed to travel its way up its body before returning to its original place.

However, even after the head was restored, the sludge monster still remained completely still on the spot and wasn\'t saying anything.

"Are you alright?"

Hook made his way over to Adam with a concerned expression, then waved an arm in front of Sludge\'s face. However, that still garnered no reaction, so Hook gave it a few vigorous knocks to the back of the head.

That seemed to have finally revitalized Adam, who abruptly took in a gasping breath.

It was as if his soul had left his body, but had subsequently been restored.

Only after taking a few deep breaths did Adam\'s eyes come into focus, and he saw the people around him. He saw his teammates, Medusa\'s team, and all of the other people who were in the process of passing through the valley around him.

"I\'m not dead!"

Adam lowered his head to look down at his own sludgy hands.

Having endured so many perilous battles, Adam had brushed shoulders with death more than once. Even though this battle had been rather uneventful, he felt like this was most definitely his closest encounter with death.

In the instant that he was decapitated, his consciousness had begun to fade, and he felt as if something were leaving his body before spreading into the air.

His final thought was to enact his envisioned plan as quickly as possible, separating from Mummy before invoking and fusing with Sludge.

Halfway through this process, his consciousness had already almost completely faded. In fact, he couldn\'t even recall the second half of the procedure, and his body had only been instinctively enacting the plan.

I can\'t believe that actually worked! That was way too close! If that attack had split my head open, I would\'ve been dead right away!

This "resurrection" ability wasn\'t something that could be reliably used every time, and there was a major element of luck that had contributed to Adam\'s survival on this occasion.

"How did it feel to be on the brink of death?"

While Adam was still reeling from his near-death experience, Medusa had already made her way over to him, and looking at his current form, she had s rough idea of how he had managed to revive himself.

"I heard that adapters will see more things than the average person right before death. What did you see?"

"I saw... I saw... some things... I feel like I saw..."

Adam didn\'t finish his response as in the final instant, he saw the director\'s face, the face that no one had ever seen before.

Adam didn\'t know how he was related to the director and what it meant for him to see the director\'s face in his final moments.

If no one had ever seen the director before, then perhaps what he had seen was nothing more than an illusion.

"How dare you come over here?" Nie Yiyi immediately erupted into a furious fit at the sight of Medusa. "You almost got him killed!"

"So what? Is he a friend of mine? This is a game in which everyone is trying to kill everyone else, so why wouldn\'t throw him under the bus if it benefits me? Don\'t think that we\'re friends just because we worked together once." Medusa brushed off Nie Yiyi\'s accusations with a casual smile. "Backstabbing is a common sight in the battle royale."

"You\'re right." Adam nodded in response, then took a glance at Nie Yiyi before turning to Medusa. "Don\'t mind her, she still hasn\'t completely recovered from Dead Wood\'s influence. You helped me once before this, so we\'re all clear now, right?"

"Normally, I would agree, but I don\'t want you stabbing me in the back once we get into the final zone, so I\'ll give you an advanced card as compensation for what happened here." Medusa gestured for Anaconda to hand over the card, then continued, "There are only a few people left in the game who can still pose a threat to me. I\'ve already made enemies out of Diamond and Oni no Miko, if you turn on me as well, I\'m going to have a very hard time getting anything out of the final zone, so how about we call it even now?"

"Deal."

This was a very good deal in Adam\'s eyes. The battle royale was a free-for-all brawl anyway, and it was well within the rules to throw other participants under the bus. Hence, even though Adam was almost killed, he didn\'t harbor much resentment toward Medusa.

After accepting the card, he and his team quickly continued deeper into the valley.

The commotion ringing out from the top of the hill was growing louder and louder, and once that battle concluded, the brief period of safety that they were currently enjoying would be a thing of the past.

Hence, time was of the essence, and everyone was trying to get to the final zone as quickly as possible.

After passing through the valley, everyone arrived in a circular basin.

The ground here was very flat and even, giving it the resemblance of an enormous arena. There weren\'t any trees or buildings in the area, and there were barely even any rocks here. It was clear that the director had specially prepared this final zone so that everyone would be forced to engage in a free-for-all battle out in the open.

By the time Adam and the others arrived, they discovered that others had already gotten there ahead of them. In such a flat and open environment, it was very difficult to avoid being seen unless one possessed concealment abilities.

There are over 20 of them here already... That\'s a bit more than expected.

Aside from Adam\'s group, who had just passed through the valley, some other battle royale participants had also managed to reach the final zone through alternative means.

While Adam was still observing the people around him, the ground beside him suddenly split open, and a mole burrowed its way out from underground, followed by a white rabbit and an armadillo.

"We finally made it to the final zone!"

As soon as the trio emerged, they immediately caught sight of all of the other participants who had made it to this point. Generally speaking, the people who made it to this point were all extremely powerful and cunning individuals who weren\'t going to engage in battle from the get-go. After all, there were still more people yet to come, and no one wanted to expend any psychic power before everyone had arrived.

However, these three were completely different. As psychic mutants, their logic was very simple.

"Look at all these people! This is fantastic! After we kill them, all of their cards will be ours!" the white rabbit yelled in excitement before charging directly toward the crowd.
