Chapter 262

The exit formed by the light was obviously not in the same direction as the entrance for the two people.

However, they seem to have no choice.

Jiang Yunu's response was, of course, "Let's go."

Not only did she respond to Shen Yijing with a nod, she also naturally held his hand, which he had originally intended to take back after touching her hand.

——Pull’s wrist.

Shen Yijing was pulled towards Jiang Yunu. He subconsciously took two steps on the "meat ground" which was still full of strange elasticity and stickiness, but had a little more support than before.

Jiang Yunu pulled him to his side and asked Captain Shen to follow him.

【Safety. 】

Jiang Yunu, who was walking half a step ahead, was too lazy to turn around and lip-sync, and she and Shen Yijing used lip-sync and body language to gesture like two patients with sudden aphonia. She just pulled his wrist, pushed Shen Yijing's slightly curled fingers open with one finger, and then wrote two words on the other's palm.

“…”

Shen Yijing’s breathing changed.

Jiang Yunu felt that the person behind her seemed to be suffocated for two seconds, but her fighting instinct and alert nerves were not triggered.

Her sensory system told her that the surroundings were relatively safe, and the pieces of flesh that had been restless before had calmed down and remained quiet for the time being.

So Jiang Yunu moved her index finger and drew two more lines on Shen Yijing's palm:

【？ 】

Shen Yijing's palm seemed to be pushed hard by her very gentle force, and her palm curled up slightly. A few fingers that subconsciously retracted brushed against the palm of Jiang Yunu's hand.

So Jiang Yunu wrote another one:

【？ 】

What was she scrawling on her arms and palms? She couldn't decipher a single word of this "cursive stream-of-consciousness" writing style.

In the end, Shen Yijing just pinched Jiang Yunu's fingers very stiffly.

He did not write her a "reply" in her palm, nor did he allow her to continue writing on his hand. He only used silence instead of replying, using silence to indicate that everything was fine with him.

In this silence, the two walked all the way to the light.

This must be a space filled with bizarre energy. When Shen Yijing had slashed himself down with his sword, he had felt as if there was no end to the place, like falling into a black hole, or sliding all the way to the core of the earth.

But now he and Jiang Yunu were walking towards the bright area together. The distance was surprisingly short. They did not remain silent for too long, and the increasingly bright light was already in front of them.

This piece of light is indeed a real exit.

In the light, there is a "door" that is smooth all over and mapped in the light like a two-dimensional plane.

Jiang Yunu looked around at the door, which was as thin as a piece of paper. She hesitated for only two seconds before raising her hand and preparing to try to push it.

At this moment, her hand, which was pinched by Shen Yijing, was raised.

She just raised her empty hand and did not move the hand that was still entangled with Shen Yijing.

But Captain Shen obviously wanted to open the door with her.

So Jiang Yunu put down his empty hands again, and used his hands together with Shen Yijing to push towards the thin door in the light.

The tentacles were cold, like some special metal, but this metal was actually fluid, allowing Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing's hands to penetrate through it.

They looked at each other.

Shen Yijing saw Jiang Yunu and nodded.

So without any hesitation, they both stepped forward at the same time, walked side by side, and entered the liquid door with a unique texture.

Walking through it is like walking through a waterfall with a slight coolness but without any water vapor hitting you.

It was like passing through a layer of cool, soft gauze.

Jiang Yunu did not close her eyes when she passed through the door. She kept her eyes open. The moment she crossed the door, she felt that her brain was like a processor that suddenly uploaded countless new files. A large number of complex and fragmented images flashed through her mind, and some images that she had never seen or experienced flashed alternately on her retina.

But she just blinked lightly, and walked through the door, and all those huge and complicated images disappeared from her retina.

Instead, the real space is clearly presented before our eyes.

Behind the door is a place that looks very much like a laboratory, exuding a sense of technology and minimalist metal everywhere.

"Ahem."

Shen Yijing coughed slightly on the side.

He had been unable to speak for too long since he fell into the tunnel of flesh. The flesh walls that had previously been able to wrap around people might still contain some kind of neurotoxin, causing him to feel a slight numbness deep in his throat when he wanted to speak again.

Jiang Yunu found that the two people's hands had not yet loosened, so she simply pinched Shen Yijing's fingers in return, indicating that the other party did not need to force it.

Then she looked around. Her throat and vocal cords were unaffected—those chunks of flesh wouldn't dare approach her. So she could speak naturally and clearly, "This place looks very high-tech. According to common sense, someone should be coming out right now to greet us and say, 'Welcome to my core territory.'"

"Really?" someone responded. "Are there more?"

"Of course there are more," Jiang Yunu said. "The equipment here also looks very expensive. The entire space is well-maintained, showing signs of meticulous care. The other party will probably say, 'You will see the greatest invention of this era,' or 'Welcome to come here and admire this miracle that transcends time.'"

“Pah pah pah!”

In the huge space, some people applauded Jiang Yunu's words.

The voice just now sounded again, and it was obviously more emotional, and the tone revealed undisguised joy.

"Well said!"

Following this loud praise, a holographic projection descended and quickly condensed into a real image in front that looked no different from a real person at first glance.

From the moment Shen Yijing heard the word "really", his muscles tensed up, as if all his fur had stood up in alert, and his ears moved slightly to identify the direction of the unfamiliar sound.

When the real shadow formed by the projection appeared, Shen Yijing immediately stopped standing beside Jiang Yunu. He took a step forward and blocked Jiang Yunu with his sword.

The man who appeared in the form of a projection seemed to find Shen Yijing's actions very interesting and didn't care at all. He just glanced at him, and his eyes passed him and fell on Jiang Yunu behind him.

A man may look to be in his forties, or he may be in his fifties or sixties who has taken good care of himself.

"Little girl, since you've already guessed the standard line, it would be a bit boring to greet you with the standard opening line," the man said. "I've decided to change my opening line. I want to ask you a question."

Jiang Yunu said, "Please."

The man spread his arms, his gesture almost graceful. "What kind of secret treasure do you think is hidden deep within such an incomparably beautiful heart?"
