Qi Tongwei looked at the Black Widow, his eyes gradually becoming confused. He felt a powerful force awakening in his body, as if it was about to break through some kind of restraint and completely devour him...

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the end of the corridor, accompanied by several roars: "Quick! Catch them! Don't let them run away!"

Black Widow's face changed and she cursed in a low voice, "Damn it! Why did they catch up so quickly?!"

She grabbed Qi Tongwei's arm, pulled him behind her, and said in a cold tone: "Now, make your choice, Qi Tongwei, go back with them and continue to be your puppet, or..."

The Black Widow didn't say anything more, but the movement of her hands showed everything. She took out a pistol from her waist and pointed the black muzzle at Qi Tongwei's forehead...

The black muzzle of the gun, like the approaching footsteps of the god of death, made Qi Tongwei's heart beat faster. He never thought that he would face a life-and-death decision in this strange cyberpunk world.

"Choice?" Qi Tongwei suddenly laughed, his laughter full of self-mockery and bitterness. "Do I still have room for choice? From the moment you created me on the experimental table, my fate has been decided by you, isn't it?"

The Black Widow didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly. There was no mercy in her eyes, only cold calculation.

The footsteps at the end of the corridor were getting closer and closer, mixed with a few angry roars, like life-threatening drumbeats, beating on Qi Tongwei's nerves.

"You have three seconds to think about it." Black Widow's voice was like ice from hell, chilling people to the bone.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked at the Black Widow, his eyes gradually becoming sharper, like a beast that was forced into a desperate situation, accumulating the last bit of energy and preparing for a final fight.

"Three..." Black Widow began the countdown, her tone cold and ruthless.

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, but just stared at the Black Widow's eyes, trying to find a flaw in her eyes.

"Two..." Black Widow's finger had already pulled the trigger. In just one second, the bullet would have shot through Qi Tongwei's head.

At this critical moment, Qi Tongwei suddenly moved!

He lunged forward with lightning speed, and at the same time swung his right fist and hit Black Widow's chest hard.

The Black Widow obviously did not expect Qi Tongwei to attack suddenly. She was caught off guard and was hit in the chest by Qi Tongwei. She groaned and staggered backwards.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed Qi Tongwei's scalp, leaving a deep bullet hole in the wall of the corridor.

Qi Tongwei didn't care about the burning pain on his scalp. He rolled over and hid behind a metal pillar.

"Damn it!" Black Widow cursed, raised her pistol, and pulled the trigger continuously in the direction where Qi Tongwei was hiding.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bullets hit the metal pillars like raindrops, sparks flying, but they could never hit Qi Tongwei.

"Don't hide, Qi Tongwei!" Black Widow shouted while shooting, "Do you think you can escape? There are surveillance cameras everywhere, there is nowhere for you to escape!"

Qi Tongwei ignored the Black Widow's shouting. He hid behind a metal pillar, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to escape.

He knew that what Black Widow said was right. There were surveillance cameras everywhere and it was impossible for him to escape. The only way to survive was to subdue Black Widow and then use the gun in her hand to fight his way out!

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He slowly stuck his head out, observing the position of the Black Widow, ready to find an opportunity to give her a fatal blow.

However, at this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the end of the corridor, and the entire corridor shook violently.

"What's going on?!" Black Widow's face changed, she stopped shooting, and turned to look at the end of the corridor.

Qi Tongwei was also startled by the sudden explosion. He didn't know what happened, but he instinctively felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He suddenly rushed out from behind the metal pillar and rushed towards Black Widow at lightning speed.

Before Black Widow could react, Qi Tongwei grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up high.

"You..." Black Widow's face turned red, her breathing became difficult, and the gun in her hand fell down weakly.

Qi Tongwei's eyes flashed coldly and he gradually exerted strength with his hands.

"Tell me, what is going on?!"

Black Widow breathed with difficulty, looked at Qi Tongwei, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Want to know? Unfortunately, you don't have the chance to know..."

Before he finished speaking, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, like a demon from hell, opening its bloody mouth and swallowing Qi Tongwei and the Black Widow in one gulp...

Qi Tongwei felt as if he had been swallowed by a giant beast, the world was spinning, and his ears were filled with a nauseating stench. He tried hard to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

"Damn it..." He cursed under his breath and struggled desperately to get rid of the suffocating darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally felt his body regain some consciousness. He opened his eyes with great effort, only to find himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

This is a huge metal room, with flashing indicator lights and complex circuits on the walls. In the center of the room, a huge metal sphere is suspended in the air, emitting a faint blue light. Qi Tongwei noticed that the Black Widow was lying unconscious beside him, and the "giant beast" was quietly lying under the metal sphere, like a devout believer, guarding his own god.

"What the hell is this place..." Qi Tongwei struggled to stand up, rubbed his aching temple, and tried to clear his thoughts.

He looked around and found some metal boxes piled up in the corner of the room, with some symbols printed on them that he couldn't understand. He walked over and opened a box, and found that there were cold corpses inside! These corpses were wearing uniform uniforms, with distorted faces, as if they had experienced great pain.

"Could it be..." Qi Tongwei's heart trembled, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind.

At this moment, the metal sphere in the center of the room suddenly emitted a harsh buzzing sound, and a blue light burst out, illuminating the entire room. Qi Tongwei subconsciously covered his eyes and took a few steps back.

"Finally awake?" A cold and mechanical voice sounded in the room, as if coming from all directions, "Welcome to Paradise."

Qi Tongwei put down his arms and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that the room was empty except him, the Black Widow, and the "giant beast".

"Who is it? How can you be a hero if he hides himself?" Qi Tongwei asked loudly, his tone full of vigilance.

"I am Paradise," the cold voice sounded again, "or rather, I am you."

"What do you mean?" Qi Tongwei frowned, feeling even more confused.

The metal sphere slowly rotated, flashing blue light, and finally projected a blurry figure in midair. Qi Tongwei looked closely, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed in disbelief:

"How could it be you?!"

That figure was actually himself!

"Are you surprised?" The figure's mouth curled up in a strange arc, "In fact, you and I are one, but you are the past and I am the future."

Qi Tongwei felt his brain was in a mess. He didn't know whether what the figure said was true or false, nor did he know why he appeared in this ghost place. He only knew that he had to figure it all out, otherwise, he would be trapped in this nightmarish "paradise" forever.

"Who are you? Where is this place?" Qi Tongwei forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice.

"I've already said it before. I am you, and this is Paradise, and also your grave." The figure's voice was cold and ruthless. "However, you can also choose to become me and become the master of Paradise."

"Become you? Become the master of Paradise?" Qi Tongwei sneered, "Why should I believe you? Do you think I will become a cold-blooded monster like you?"

"Monster?" The figure seemed to be angered by Qi Tongwei's words, and his voice became sharp. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you are the embodiment of justice? You are just a poor creature devoured by power and desire! Look at yourself, are the things you have done more noble than mine?"

"You..." Qi Tongwei was sorely hurt by the figure's words that he was speechless for a moment.

"Qi Tongwei," the figure's voice suddenly became gentle, as if persuading a lost child to return to the right path, "Join me, and together we can create a new world, a world without pain, despair, or betrayal. There, you will get everything you want, power, wealth, women, everything."

Qi Tongwei looked at the figure in front of him who looked exactly like him, and his heart was full of struggle and contradiction. He didn't know whether he should believe what the figure said, nor did he know what to do.

At this moment, he felt something vibrating in his trouser pocket. He reached out and found it was a mobile phone.

An unfamiliar number appeared on the phone screen. Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment, but finally pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Qi Tongwei, it's me..." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, with an anxious and flustered tone, "I need your help..."

Qi Tong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he cried out in disbelief.

"Liang Lu?!"

Qi Tongwei felt as if he had been swallowed by a giant beast, the world was spinning, and his ears were filled with a nauseating stench. He tried hard to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
