Chapter 155: Dark Nest (What a pity, it must have happened in the previous life)
Bai Ri put his hand to his lips and coughed softly a few times.
Exercising for too long made him feel a little uncomfortable, but his physical fitness was forced to be improved several times, which left him with some strength to spare. After dodging yet another fierce attack, the young man felt as if his soul and body were about to be split into two, and they no longer understood each other.
"How can I sleep so well? I have figured out everything about the secret nest." He cursed inwardly. Before he was hit by the car, he was clearly an ordinary person who didn't like sports. Who would have thought that he would start running marathons after his death.
"It should be soon."
The light ball calculated the time and muttered quietly: "It's been so long, it can't be that he hasn't woken up yet, right?"
When the heat value is sufficient to overflow, it is extremely generous in everything it does. Seeing that the day is lazy, it gives a burst of energy with the momentum of a nouveau riche, making the opponent's body, which has just shown signs of slacking off, full of energy, and able to run dozens of laps again.
For some reason I feel like I'm being run by an AI. Bai Ri closed his eyes in agony as he performed a difficult move, his spirit almost dying.
In the comics, the young man dodged the pursuit easily, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he was in control, and he was calm and composed as if he was a god descending to earth. But when he raised his hand, there was another bloody storm. What a mighty eagle that plays with the dark nest in his hands!
"Art always needs to be beautified." said the light ball.
However, most of the Dark Nest map has been unlocked. The growing world consciousness leaves its own aura without hesitation, so that it can observe the opponent's movements at any time in the future.
The voice of Wu Ma Tu Sheng Wu Jue came from the earphone: […I found it. ]
No one knows how many setbacks and difficulties an insect encounters when flying to the deep area. From the number of insects scattered on the ground and reduced in the plastic box, it can be seen that this is bound to be a pile of blood and tears of the insect's life.
The deep area is guarded by dense and difficult-to-defeat cultists. With the black robe on, he looks like a great magician with a staff. However, he does not need a staff to knock the sneaking insects to the ground and crush them at the same time.
The life of an insect is also a life.
[I finally got in. ]The unfortunate Wuma Tu simply compressed his own difficulties, [The guards are tight and arranged in a regular pattern. It may not be easy for you to break in. ]
"Hmm... I guessed it. I didn't plan to force my way in." Bai Zhou lightly passed by a group of blockers. His hanging hair fluttered in the wind, revealing the obvious small headset in his ear, startling a group of cultists who screamed "He has an insider!"
The young man simply ignored him and said, "As their honored guest, of course I should be invited in with honor, openly and aboveboard."
[? ]
Wumatu fell into deep thought.
He asked: [Then why do you ask me to find the way? ]
He went through so much trouble to find the way, wasn't it to help this person understand the enemy situation and find a way to break it? And wasn't it because he couldn't find the way that Bai Zhou delayed waiting for his reply? He also made a special note of the cultists' positions.
The wicked partner smiled and said, "Oh, of course not."
"I'm just borrowing your insect body to help me open the map. After all, it's a serious occasion like a direct invitation. It's a bit indecent for me to suddenly put my hands on the wall. I've lost all my momentum."
[……]
Wuma Tu controlled the insect to stop in a small recessed pit. The corner was dark and hidden, and the indescribable emotions in the insect's eyes could not be illuminated.
The black mist that had enveloped the little bug from beginning to end suddenly had other powers. Only he could see the faint white, which was a very comfortable breath. As he was forced to fly close to the right side of the ceiling, the energy also stuck close to the wall, as if seeping into it.
But when he stopped to look carefully, he found that the white light had indeed dissipated a lot compared to the beginning, leaving only a few faint halos.
What is Open Map? Wumatu subconsciously wanted to ask this question. It's not like I need an anchor point to teleport when playing games, so could that strange energy have this use?
But as I said before, Wumatu is a very suitable partner. Because he won't ask curious questions, and will choose to remain silent even if he can't understand.
Even if I get cheated, I will just bear it silently.
There was silence on the other side of the headset. Bai Zhou smiled and said, "Anyway, our cooperation is over."
"How about it? If you don't want to leave, you can stay and chat with me. After all, this place is filled with cultists and their corpses. I'm lonely as the only messenger of justice."
The young man smiled and sounded expectant, as if he was genuinely saddened by the situation.
The headset was silent for a moment, and the breathing of the person on the other end was hesitant.
Then with a "beep" sound.
The communication was disconnected.
The man didn't even bother to remind her of the conditions for cooperation.
So cold. Bai Zhou laughed out loud in a good mood, and felt better when he thought of the other person's speechless expression.
——
「07」There has been no movement for a long time. The cultists waiting in the deep area were on high alert, but the invasion of outsiders never came. Their muscles were stiff from exerting force, and they had no idea that the area they were in had been thoroughly explored by their opponents' accomplices and had become a new map that they could observe at will.
"I can feel that power. Although I haven't actually come into contact with it, there is no way I can be mistaken about that aura." The energy emitted by the ball of light told everything truthfully.
"The aura of the foreign power there is even stronger than the black fog." It said, "But this is different from the last time we were swallowed. "He" didn't cast his gaze over us. We are safe. As long as the leader is not too difficult to deal with, the operation of stuffing the supernatural device under his bed... shouldn't be difficult?"
However, this could also indicate that the connection between the Dark Nest and external forces was just a coincidence, or perhaps just Dark Nest's self-proclaimed reverence.
Just like the existence born in the special copy, they were only contaminated with a little bit of His aura and inherited His style and habits, and put themselves in the position of "believers", even though the "God" they worshipped had never even looked at them.
"That's great." Bai Xiao said happily.
Maybe this can be used to slander the other party.
The light ball nodded: "After this is over, we only have one last plot point left. But your identity has been exposed, and the cultists must know that something is wrong with Lu Qingyuan."
“Are you going to tell the government?”
"You don't need us to tell you." Bai Zhou suddenly curved his lips, "Xiao Guang, I just looked at the laboratory's documents on plundering ordinary people and people with special abilities. It shows that the latest batch was delivered a month ago."
"So you were really watching?" the light ball was surprised.
The young man naturally ignored this sentence: "The name of the person in charge who signed the report is Lu Qingyuan."
The ball of light was stunned for a moment, then it shrugged and its furry body exploded: "Hey, so some of the people you threw into the medical building have seen Lu Qingyuan!"
As a senior employee, Lu Qingyuan, upon learning that "a group of seriously injured outsiders were actually missing persons abducted by the Dark Nest", must go and investigate. By then, if an injured person who had seen her opened his eyes and was in a daze, and happened to catch a glimpse of this familiar face...
Light Ball didn't dare to imagine what kind of chaotic scene would happen at that time. I always feel that this huge workload will eventually fall on one person.
"This is also part of the lead-up to the final plot point." Bai Zhou expressed his anticipation.
"By then, it will be completely chaotic."
Five minutes passed in a flash.
Suddenly, the pressure came like a tsunami, stopping everyone in the room in their tracks. An ominous aura swept over me. I felt my heart beating violently, my ears buzzing, and the air seemed to freeze.
It means that a being has awakened.
The ball of light trembled and was almost made uncomfortable by the fluctuations of the strong foreign breath. It was the disgust and nausea that arose subconsciously, and the murderous intent caused by the forceful intrusion of outsiders into the territory.
Just like the first time it felt after waking up, it was left with the malicious aura of an external force. It proves that its world has been transformed and is about to die.
The cultists fell to their knees. He lowered his head devoutly and obediently, as quiet as a dead body.
Daylight was the only one standing.
The young man straightened his back, standing upright like a green bamboo in the low pressure. The only vitality permeated his body. With his expressionless eyes, he looked towards the lightless passage that he had never stepped into.
His body was covered with scars of varying depths, oozing with blood. He only stood there for a moment before a flower of blood splattered on the ground. The pain did not leave any trace on his body. The young man just stood there relaxedly, just as relaxed as before.
The pair of dark pupils were like one centimeter black holes, staring straight at the entrance, containing indistinguishable emotions.
——
In the comics, even the colors dimmed. The cultists who were so arrogant and ferocious not long ago were now kneeling on the ground in silence, worshiping in the same direction like pilgrims.
This is the place swallowed by the black fog. The invisible mist had long since condensed into a prison, shackled everyone who entered, parasitized their brains and wreaked havoc, playing a chaotic and disordered melody on the mental network, causing their limbs to dance irregularly.
The dead air within nourishes the vitality outside. The people inside climbed up by stepping on the corpses of their own kind, and finally fell to the ground in a bloody mess and became food.
The only bright color among them was the deep red on that person's face.
An invitation.
The cultists kneeling on the left and right sides cleared a path for people. They quietly pressed their foreheads to the ground, ignoring the remains and blood of their own kind below, inviting the only person standing to walk in and step into the extremely long corridor that had never been explored before. The torches were lit, and the burning bright flames heralded the start of the sacrifice.
Who will be sacrificed? Bai Zhou lowered his eyes, smiled suddenly in silence, and a light sound fell to the ground, which was stepped on by him and stepped into the path of that person.
Soft and sticky flesh seeped into the soles of his boots, emitting a fishy smell and leaving streaks on the ground, but was then picked up by the dust along the way and left dirty in place.
The flames flickered, and the dark corridor became visible. The cultists who were on high alert also knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves with their foreheads touching the ground. Their heads were facing forward, as silent as statues, with only the sound of footsteps, barely audible in daylight, echoing in the air.
After passing the cultists, the young man's breathing was the only sound left in the bottomless corridor. The torch also disappeared as he went deeper into the darkness. In the extreme darkness, he could only move forward relying on his intuition.
A stone door stood in the darkness.
It feels cold, hard and rough to the touch, hurting nails, and engraved with similar patterns to the ones at the entrance.
"Please come in."
It was as if a voice was ringing directly in my mind. He controlled his palm and pressed it against the stone wall, pushing open the heavy yet easy-to-open stone door.
“Maybe none of this needs to happen.”
"Let's have a pleasant chat."
The strange voice continued.
[Is it your way of entertaining guests to rudely try to invade other people's minds as soon as you meet them? 】
His thoughts became clear again, and the young man's eyebrows curved suddenly when he noticed that the other party had paused because of the failed invasion.
[What a shame, I'm not here to chat with you...and you want to control my mind? 】
He laughed silently in the darkness.
[What a pity, it must have happened in the previous life.] 】
