World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 369 - Prayers Trial Machine

Chapter 369: Prayers Trial Machine

“d.a.m.n it, what does this have to do with me, this is for those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds that just arrived in h.e.l.l!” Liao Xing refuted.

“We’re still in the human realm right, why is it warning us?” Ye Fei Li was confused.

All four people were confused looking at the scroll.

Suddenly, a powerful voice resounded.

[I’m sorry, that was the introduction to h.e.l.l but since we’re not that great at writing scripts, we haven’t changed the content for this occasion]

Everyone looked around, apart from the scroll hovering in front of them, there was nothing else on the empty field.

“Who are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The voice told him: [Please step back, I’m going down now, if I happen to hit and kill someone, there’s no saving them]

The four of them quickly backed off.

A few moments later, a resounding boom.

Dust scattered everywhere!

Something seems to have really appeared.

Not too long later, the dust settled.

A fridge-like thing was now sitting on the empty field.

Not exactly fridge-like, since this thing was at least one size larger than a fridge.

And from its shape, it was almost like a large arcade machine!

There were even some flas.h.i.+ng lights and faint background music to accompany it.

If you listen carefully, you’d hear that the music was a choir of many voices singing gospel.

The machine was jet black, painted with a large number “1” on both sides.

[Young’uns, you did a really good job, the Frozen h.e.l.l is temporarily unable to fully manifest] the machine praised them.

“Who are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

[I am Prayers Trial Machine, responsible for the final process in Huang Quan] the machine introduced itself.

“Nice to meet you” Gu Qing Shan wiped the sweat off his forehead and greeted it.

So this is our reinforcement.

The Prayers Trial Machine began to let out a rumbling voice.

[Are you unsatisfied with this world? Does unjust bully exist? If you have any of the preceding problems, please contact me]

“Wait a minute, let me ask again, are you from Huang Quan?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[That is 100% true without a doubt]

Gu Qing Shan observed it: “You don’t look like something from Huang Quan”

[To improve Huang Quan’s working efficiency, we’ve switched to be fully automated, and I’m the first representative product] the Prayers Trial Machine replied.

Gu Qing Shan forced himself to believe that.

He then changed his approach and asked: “Alright then, if it’s Huang Quan, then there should be someone or something to rule over it right?”

[Correct]

“Then why did you come? Where are they now?”

[They’re all done for]

“All done for? What happened?” Gu Qing Shan pursued.

[This is related to Huang Quan’s internal matters so I can’t tell you. Simply put, the only thing in Huang Quan still capable of helping you humans are us automated machines]

“Us?” Gu Qing Shan noticed that word, “you mean there are other machines aside from you?”

The Prayers Trial Machine answered: [Of course, aside from me, there are also the h.e.l.l Transport Machine, Suffering Sea Rescuer Machine, Sinner’s Atonement Machine, Anger Appeasing Machine… 88 in total]

It added: [88 of us, my G.o.d, I actually feel like we’re a bit overstaffed]

“So you all have different functions?” Liao Xing asked.

[Very smart!]

The Prayers Trial Machine looked at him and answered: [I am the machine used by the Divinity for general pastimes, there are other machines responsible for battle, for cleaning, for reclaiming and expanding the land, overall, it’s a total of 88]

“Why 88 machines? Is there some sort of implication?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

The Prayers Trial Machine sighed, then answered: [Because one of our Divinities is highly superst.i.tious and felt that this was a good number. By the way, at the time of the disaster, that Divinity was also the first to 88] (TN: it’s a Chinese internet slang, means ‘bye-bye’)

Gu Qing Shan looked around.

A cold breeze pa.s.sed by, but the Prayers Trial Machine in front of the four of them was still the only one.

He asked: “Where are your good friends?”

[They’re still preparing, they’ll come here one by one. No need to mind them, let us talk about the current calamity first]

The Prayers Trial Machine rumbled a bit, then continued: [We may be able to think of a way to help you get through this tough period]

“Can you really?” Ye Fei Li was a bit hesitant.

[Don’t you look down on us] the Prayers Trial Machine puffed out its chest and spoke: [We’re cutting edge technology that was born after the Huang Quan industrial revolution, our Law power is powerful enough to help the Divinities manage the entire Huang Quan down to the littlest details]

Hearing its claim, Gu Qing Shan’s group exchanged joyful looks.

If it’s really as powerful as it claimed, then this world is saved.

“Then venerable, erm, Prayers Trial Machine, I’ll be frank, 3 h.e.l.ls are upon us right now” Gu Qing Shan curtly spoke.

[It’s over! Can’t help you!!!] the Prayers Trial Machine exclaimed without pause.

Gu Qing Shan: “…”

Zhang Ying Hao: “…”

Ye Fei Li: “…”

Liao Xing couldn’t help but swear: “f.u.c.ker, you’re here to do comedy or something”

The Prayers Trial Machine answered: [Of course not, I can’t help you solve this problem, but the h.e.l.l Transport Machine’s ability is to bring the criminal dead to their respective h.e.l.ls]

[You can cooperate with it to bring the three h.e.l.ls that dared to run away back to the other h.e.l.ls, your crisis would be solved] the Prayers Trial Machine said.

“But there’s numerous monsters from the three h.e.l.ls, will the h.e.l.l Transport Machine really be effective?” Ye Fei Li asked.

[Of course, it’s a bit similar to what you call trains, as long as you put the dead people in, they’ll immediately be bound and unable to leave the h.e.l.l Transport Machine]

[After that, when all of the h.e.l.l Transport Machine’s cars are full, it’ll activate and bring the dead back to Huang Quan and throw them into other h.e.l.ls]

Zhang Ying Hao mumbled: “Put the dead in… which means we’ll still have to defeat the dead to bring them back to h.e.l.l”

“Three h.e.l.ls, the amount of criminals born from several Eras should be an astronomical number, how are we going to accomplish that?” Liao Xing sighed.

“We have to, even if we can’t, this is the only way” Gu Qing Shan mused about it.

While they were discussing, a ma.s.sive explosion could be heard from the void of s.p.a.ce.

A few train cars and a train engine appeared out of thin air, cras.h.i.+ng to the ground.

An intense fire was burning both the train cars and the engine, reducing them to metal sc.r.a.ps in just a few moments.

[Ah, no good, seems like the h.e.l.l Transport Machine couldn’t make it to the human realm] the Prayers Trial Machine said.

“Why did this happen; didn’t you say this thing would be able to help us?” Zhang Ying Hao loudly questioned.

[It’s not quite as smooth as you think for us to come to the human realm] the Prayers Trial Machine answered.

“What’s attacking you?” Gu Qing Shan spoke in a heavy tone.

[I can’t tell you that] the Prayers Trial Machine said.

Everyone exchanged looks, came forward and carefully examined the train wreckage on the ground.

“This is the h.e.l.l Transport Machine? Can we repair it?” Liao Xing asked.

[Only the Divinity that built it can repair it] the Prayers Trial Machine answered.

“In other words, we’ve lost our only hope?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

[No, no, no, truthfully, there are a lot of other machines, we’ll have other ways] the Prayers Trial Machine spoke again.

“Then what are the methods, please tell us all at once” Gu Qing Shan asked it.

The Prayers Trial Machine went silent.

It twisted its body to look around.

Aside from Gu Qing Shan’s group of four, there wasn’t anything else on this empty field.

There wasn’t even a road.

Completely desolate.

Occasionally a cold breeze blew past.

The Prayers Trial Machine spoke up: [It seems I have made a mistake, I need to open shop right away in order to create a bond with this world, otherwise I’ll be rejected and immediately forced back to Huang Quan]

It then looked over at Gu Qing Shan’s group: [I need to complete a small deal first to settle myself in, we’ll talk more after]

“Alright” Gu Qing Shan sighed, “I hope you can be quick, h.e.l.l is eroding us increasingly faster”

[Don’t worry, I’ll be back quick]

With a loud ‘bam’, the Prayers Trial Machine split into two.

One of them immediately disappeared without a trace.

Everyone exchanged looks.

Liao Xing: “What, so you can split yourself as well?”

With another loud ‘poof’, the second Prayers Trial Machine suddenly came back.

[I need to borrow someone, ah, no need to worry, it’s paid work] it said.
