Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1259 - 711: Apocalypse Death Ending

Based on Su Yu's deduction, the mysterious entity orchestrating events from the shadows, the one who crafted the "Dream Ending" for him, had only just finalized the immediate room's scenario and hadn't yet established the external environment.

Consequently, after Su Yu broke free from the story's influence and dashed outside, he was met with an expanse of sheer nothingness.

Since the surrounding setting hadn't been determined, it was only natural that nothing existed there.

The sun blazing in the heavens, continuously spewing forth narratives, should logically be the entity's "Book of Narrative" or, perhaps, its very essence. Yet, it remained suspended high above, making it incredibly difficult for Su Yu to even approach, let alone strike.

At that precise moment, the unseen entity likely detected Su Yu's "escape."

The celestial sun, which had been relentlessly pouring out 'stories,' suddenly intensified its radiance, unleashing an overwhelming torrent of text-like light.

Everything in Su Yu's vicinity underwent an instantaneous transformation; in the span of a breath, the scene shifted into a modern metropolis.

The shadowy entity had just completed the establishment of the external world's conditions.

This urban landscape was remarkably familiar to Su Yu; it was precisely his old hometown from before his transmigration.

Gazing upon this familiar sight, Su Yu's eyes momentarily lost focus. It had been an exceedingly long time since he had witnessed such a view.

However, after a fleeting moment of contemplation, Su Yu regained his composure. He knitted his brows, surveying his surroundings, and pondered the ultimate intentions of the elusive entity behind the scenes.

Su Yu was now fully cognizant; continuing to weave this "Dream Ending" should hold no further significance and could no longer deceive him.

"So, the other party is likely going to..."

As this thought materialized in Su Yu's mind, he observed that every passerby on the street simultaneously turned their heads to fixate on him, a peculiar luminescence flickering within their eyes. Slowly, they began to advance towards him.

As they drew nearer, the forms of these individuals started to warp unnaturally: some stretched their jaws open to an impossible degree, wide enough to swallow a person whole; others sprouted elongated, bone-like spurs from their limbs, disturbingly pale and razor-sharp; and a few began to merge with one another, transforming into grotesque abominations adorned with a multitude of limbs and human heads...

It was immediately apparent that these entities were exceptionally menacing—at least, to Su Yu, who now possessed only the strength of an ordinary person, they presented an extreme threat.

"Unable to ensnare me with a 'Dream Ending,' so the switch is to a cataclysmic 'Death Ending'?"

Su Yu murmured to himself, then quickly scanned his surroundings and broke into a run, evading the closing circle of these monstrous beings.

The entity pulling the strings had evidently revised the narrative once more, intending to simply write Su Yu out of existence.

Currently, having traversed the Narrative Layer, Su Yu was reduced to the might of a common human. His demise had become a considerably simpler task.

Su Yu exerted his utmost speed, his breaths coming in ragged gasps, while simultaneously activating the power of the Destruction Origin. He forced the very air he inhaled into its most fundamental, Super Quality state.

He then allowed the Existence Hunter to assimilate it, subsequently employing Super-quality Conversion to transmute it into his own Spiritual Energy.

All these complex operations occurred solely within the confines of Su Yu's consciousness; he was forcefully channeling his prior experiences with his abilities to guide his current powers.

However, whether this strenuous effort yielded any actual results remained unknown even to him.

At this juncture, he was simply far too debilitated; a myriad of his abilities were virtually non-existent. He could barely register if an ability had been triggered, let alone ascertain if it had any tangible effect post-activation.

His cognitive functions and processing power had also been drastically curtailed; his perceptual faculties and calculation capabilities were now on par with those of an average individual.

"Even my thought processes and computational ability have diminished..."

Logically, regardless of the extent of Su Yu's physical decline, his cognitive functions and computational power should have remained unaffected; he should still have been capable of executing billions of calculations instantaneously.

Yet, now, even this most fundamental aspect of his being had waned to an extreme degree, nearly mirroring that of an ordinary person.

Were it not for this concurrent weakening of his computational prowess, Su Yu might not have been so easily deceived by the "Dream Ending" earlier, even leading him to question if all that had transpired was merely an ephemeral illusion.

"I am uncertain whether this degradation of my thinking and computational faculties is a 'Setting' imposed by the entity behind the curtain, or a suppression originating from the Narrative Layer itself..."

Su Yu persisted in coaxing his various abilities into action while rapidly analyzing the situation internally.

The decline in his mental faculties was palpably abnormal, though the precise cause warranted further investigation.

After a period of relentless flight, Su Yu had traversed two main thoroughfares, and the horde of monsters pursuing him continued to swell in number.

Fortunately, the monsters, for the time being, maintained a comparatively sluggish pace and were unable to overtake him just yet.

The mastermind behind the scenes had hastily concocted a plot to end Su Yu's life, but clearly, they were operating under certain limitations. As a result, the mutated monsters, which were once ordinary pedestrians, were not overwhelmingly powerful for the moment.

"To think they'd rely on these creatures to kill me—it would be easier to just hit me with a dump truck..."

Just as Su Yu had this thought, a jolt ran through his heart, and he swiftly dodged to the side of the road.

In the very next instant, a massive truck laden with cargo thundered past him, crashing violently into the roadside wall.

It appeared the scheme's architect hadn't overlooked this particular maneuver.

"Speak of the devil..."

Su Yu muttered a curse under his breath. He then observed the large truck revving its engine again, seemingly preparing to reverse and ram into him. Instantly, he turned and fled.

At that critical moment, Su Yu noticed a shared bicycle parked by the roadside. A flicker of inspiration struck him. He approached it and ran his hand over the frame. The bicycle, which normally required a code scan to unlock, disengaged its lock immediately.

"My Data Ability has partially recovered..."

A surge of delight coursed through Su Yu.

His previous efforts in absorbing ambient Qi and refining his Super Quality had not been in vain; he had finally managed to regain a fraction of his power.

With this development, Su Yu felt a degree of reassurance. As long as he could restore his abilities, any challenge could be overcome.

Thus, Su Yu mounted the bicycle, and its speed surged considerably.

He could have easily commandeered a car by the roadside, which would have been faster, but it lacked the necessary flexibility and presented greater risks. Who knew if he'd be struck by another vehicle immediately after setting off, or if the fuel tank would ignite and explode on the spot?

Therefore, this leg-powered shared bicycle was the more suitable option for him at this juncture.

Pedaling furiously, Su Yu navigated the urban landscape. Mutated monsters and various vehicles aggressively sought to intercept him from all directions.

Fortunately, this was Su Yu's hometown, a place he knew like the back of his hand. By skillfully weaving left and right, and darting in various directions, he managed to evade capture.

The downside was that sustained exertion had taken its toll; he was breathing heavily, and sweat poured down his face.

"This feeling is truly nostalgic..."

Since Su Yu had awakened his status panel and acquired an Extraordinary Ability, it had been a considerable time since he had experienced the limitations of an ordinary human. The vulnerability of normal physiology made him profoundly uncomfortable.

However, possessing a will forged over eons, he remained completely undeterred, continuing to pedal the bicycle relentlessly.

Yet, simply fleeing and hiding was not a sustainable solution. The pursuing monsters seemed to be gradually increasing in strength and speed. If Su Yu did not devise a new strategy, he would likely be apprehended eventually.

Fortunately, Su Yu had no intention of remaining in hiding indefinitely; he already had a plan formulating.

"All narratives require logic. Whether it's the higher Narrative Layer or the lower one, the principle remains the same..."

"If that's the case, there must be an underlying cause for these mutations within the city. If I can uncover it, I can dismantle this predicament."

With a decisive thought, Su Yu unleashed a surge of his Data Spirit Power, infiltrating the city's network and commencing a search for the origin of this widespread mutation.
