They walked past the wall painted with the broken arms and limbs of an unknown person, passed by the parked jeep, and came to the huge statue.
Standing in front of the statue, Song Qingci paused slightly.
She looked up and gazed at the huge statue, as if she was considering something.
At this time, Lin Ju stopped in front and turned his head to look at Song Qingci: "What's wrong?"
When asked, Song Qingci suddenly came back to his senses.
She retracted her gaze and smiled at Lin Ju: "No, nothing."
However, just as she was looking at Lin Ju's face, she was stunned again the next second.
This time, there was a hint of doubt in Song Qingci's eyes.
This feeling of doubt disappeared after a while, and Song Qingci regained his composure again, repeating as if nothing had happened: "Nothing."
Listening to Song Qingci repeating it twice, Lin Ju nodded somewhat confused.
She didn't say much, but just continued walking forward in silence.
Song Qingci followed behind her.
Her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking.
After hesitating for a while, she looked at Lin Ju's back and asked softly, "Where is this? Why are you here?"
When asked this question, Lin Ju's back paused slightly.
After a while, she calmly said, "There were some minor problems, but the impact was not significant."
"As for this place," Lin Ju looked up at the gloomy sky, "if what he said is correct, then this should be the narrow room where the Pale Lady is hiding."
"A world that floats outside of matter and spirit, split in the middle by something, and then rises up with someone's bones as the base."
Hearing Lin Ju say this, Song Qingci said in surprise: "Ms. Cangbai's hiding place?!"
She looked at the empty area in the distance with some disbelief, totally unable to imagine that this was the place they were looking for.
According to the prophet, those monsters came to Xinhai City quietly through the hiding place of the pale lady. In other words, this area is now the monsters' lair, and there must be hundreds of alien species hiding in it! However, now, Lin Ju actually told Song Qingci that this empty, hell-like place is the "nest" that Song Qingci imagined? !
Song Qingci felt that either the intelligence was wrong, or... now those monsters are coming out in full force!
She took two steps forward and said quickly, "How are we going to get out?"
We must get out now! Not only must we spread the news that Area A has fallen, but we must also spread the news that... the prophecy may have become invalid to people in other areas!
Although it is still unclear how much time has passed, Song Qingci believes that with Xun Mo and the prophet around, the humans outside may not have been completely wiped out.
In other words, the sooner this information is passed on to the outside world, the more time people outside will have to react and think of corresponding solutions!
At this moment, Song Qingci felt that he was carrying the lives of many people. Not only Ming Zhou, who he was familiar with, but also other people! Their fate now depended on Song Qingci's actions, and every second counted!
Faced with Song Qingci's urgency, Lin Ju pursed his lips, and his indifferent eyes showed a slight fluctuation for the first time.
"It's too late," she said softly, "It's been too long outside now, I'm afraid..."
Looking at Song Qingci, Lin Ju said a lot, which was unusual for him: "I was also captured by other people like you, but I woke up earlier than you - about half an hour. During the time I woke up, I roughly observed through the words of people coming and going that the speed of time in this space is about the same as that in the outside world. In other words, within this half hour, the people outside may have been unable to hold on alone."
"There is something wrong with our prediction. They learned our prediction in advance, so any offensive is... transparent to them."
How is that possible?
When Song Qingci heard Lin Ju's words, he immediately felt it was absurd.
The prophet's decision... was known to others in advance?! In other words, this means that there is a traitor in the team?! Just like the previous time in Yanxia Mountain?!
A series of questions flashed through Song Qingci's mind, like countless knots entangled together, tightening and entangling, trying to strangle her throat.
She subconsciously twisted the red ribbon on her forehead: "Half an hour... Apart from these, do you know anything else?"
Listening to Song Qingci's question, Lin Ju shook his head: "I don't know much. Like you, I am also tied to this place."
"However," Lin Ju said hesitantly, "I heard those monsters say before that they seemed to be looking for human 'females'."
Song Qingci also heard this sentence, right there where the kappa and the werewolf-like monster appeared before.
According to what they said, the Pale Lady seemed to want to capture the women in the Countermeasures Bureau and meet them.
What was her purpose? Song Qingci was not very clear.
But she knew that this might be an opportunity.
Taking two steps forward, Song Qingci whispered in Lin Ju's ear: "If this is the hiding place of Ms. Cangbai, then we may be able to do something here."
"If those monsters really can freely enter and exit Xinhai City through this place, then it means that there must be a teleportation device here. If we can find that thing, then we may be able to know their movements in advance."
Song Qingci's expression was very serious: "Besides anything else, if the pale lady is really hiding in this place, then it would be good if we can find her and find a way to weaken her fighting power in advance! In any case, since we are here now, then we should try to do something!"
Listening to her words, Lin Ju glanced at her silently.
A long time passed.
"Okay," Lin Ju sighed, "I understand."
"But if you change your mind, then tell me."
Grabbing Song Qingci's shoulders, Lin Ju said, "I learned from that person how to leave this place. If necessary, I will take you out."
Looking at Lin Ju's calm eyes, Song Qingci nodded heavily.
The two of them walked forward until they were not far from the cafeteria.
This is a very long path. Song Qingci remembered that it took her a long time to get to the cafeteria from here yesterday.
On the way, she met the prophet. He followed the photographer for a while, and when he met her, he seemed to smile and nod at her.
Song Qingci vaguely remembered that the prophet seemed to have said something to him yesterday.
But she had somewhat forgotten what it was specifically.
Probably not something important.
Song Qingci thought so.
Bending down, she touched a handful of dirt on the ground, then looked up and said, "The bloodstains here are still fresh."
Looking around the surroundings, Song Qingci thought: "What we saw before were all rotten corpses, but here we can find fresh blood. This may mean that there are also guys who have strayed in like us. It may also be a monster that already exists in this world, but no matter what, this is probably a clue!"
Lin Ju just stood beside her and listened to her reasoning.
Soon, Song Qingci stood up, patted the dirt off his body, tilted his head towards Lin Ju and said, "Then let's go."
After saying this, the two of them walked towards the end of the path.
When stepping on the solid soil, Lin Ju's expression in front changed slightly.
Song Qingci, who was standing behind thinking, almost bumped into her.
"What's wrong?" she asked. Lin Ju said nothing, just looking at the end of the road in the distance.
Song Qingci also followed her gaze and looked forward.
The next second, Song Qingci saw something in the distance, and her pupils shrank slightly! At this moment, in her sight, was a tall woman wearing a veil.
The woman just stood there at the end of the sight, like a clear signpost, standing within the reach of humans, reminding everyone around who was watching her with her surging presence.
...This is the "Pale Lady"! Looking at the guy in the distance, Song Qingci subconsciously put his hand on his waist.
Although her original plan was not to run into the Pale Lady here, now that she had already met her, it was necessary to test the quality of that guy! Moreover, the other party had undoubtedly set his sights on her, and even if she ran away like this, that guy would probably chase her closely.
In such an empty and unfamiliar place, there is no room to escape or hide!
Instead of doing this, it would be better to draw the knife from the beginning and test whether there is a possibility of a frontal breakout! Song Qingci's idea was very simple.
But the next second, a hand pressed on the hilt of her knife.
Lin Ju looked at her and shook his head slightly: "You can't deal with her, she is a 'disaster' level."
"If you really want to weaken that guy, then you should look for more clues about him now," Lin Ju said. "It's just like a horror game. Only by finding the keys scattered all over the place can you open the most critical door."
"I am not as experienced as you. If you encounter a special situation, you should be able to make better judgments and choices than me."
Lin Ju said in a deep voice: "In that case, why don't you go and look for clues, and I will stay here and try to contain this guy as much as possible."
Being looked at like this, Song Qingci was a little confused: "But..."
Lin Ju took his hand back and said calmly, "No buts."
"Don't worry," Lin Ju smiled, "I'm not completely unprepared. At least that guy taught me what to do if I encounter a similar situation."
After taking something out of his pocket, Lin Ju turned his head and glanced at Song Qingci: "If you find a way, then go to the war hall we were in before. There is a button under the table at the front of the war hall. After pressing it, you can see a secret door. That is the secret door leading to the basement."
"After entering through the secret door, you will be able to leave this world," Lin Ju nodded slightly, "If you encounter something you really can't handle, then try to leave through that secret door. No matter what, life is the most important thing."
After saying this, she stretched out the thing she had taken out of her pocket to her neck.
Then, he thrust hard into her neck! The next second, a black halo instantly enveloped Lin Ju's body. The dark airflow spread out with her as the center, like a constantly rotating vortex, stirring up all the air around her!
The pale lady in the distance didn't move at all, but just stood there silently, like the bright moonlight, illuminating everything around her.
The forest of coffins opposite her was like a dark night, wrapped in a wildly expanding fog, as if it was going to completely cover the moon!
In the rising black air currents, Song Qingci gradually lost sight of Lin Ju.
She stood there, her eyes flickering.
After a long while, Song Qingci turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
She ran all the way to the war hall and finally stopped at the place she had been to yesterday.
Looking up, Song Qingci saw the tallest table at a glance.
If she remembered correctly, the prophet was here yesterday to discuss the details of the battle.
There was no one in the combat hall at the moment, only blood and corpses scattered on the side. Several fingers were hanging on the door, indicating that someone had tried to pass through this door, but his arm was ruthlessly cut off in the end, and his last hope was also broken on the ground.
Song Qingci took two steps forward in silence.
She walked all the way to the top table and groped around.
After groping around, she actually found the button that Lin Ju had mentioned before.
According to Lin Ju, if she pressed the button here, she would be able to escape from this world.
In other words, she doesn't need to worry about these things and can just leave this world.
With a sigh, Song Qingci gently pressed his finger on the button.
But the next second.
“Don’t press it!”
In the distance, a voice called out loudly, forcing Song Qingci's finger, which was about to press down, to hover in the air.
Hearing the voice, Song Qingci subconsciously looked up and glanced in the direction where the voice came from.
Only then did she notice that there was a person running towards her in the distance.
The man ran a long distance, all the way from outside the hall to the table where Song Qingci was, and finally stood in front of Song Qingci, pressing his knees with his hands, coughing breathlessly.
After a long while, the man raised his head and said, "Don't press it! This button is a trap!"
Song Qingci looked at the man and was silent for a moment.
After a while, she finally said, "You are... the photographer?"
Opposite her, photographer Chen Shilong, or “Brother Long,” nodded: “Yes, I’m the photographer who came with you.”
"Don't press that button!" Brother Long said, "If you press it, the female monster will completely break free from her shackles, break free from this world, and then walk into the real world!"
Listen to what Brother Long said.
