Chapter 136
[Also, Song Yue hasn't come back]
When Yuan Ling saw the third message, his body couldn't help but shake.
Song Yue didn't come back...
Shen Xin is blind...
Could it be that Song Yue saved Shen Xin?
Regardless of the inconvenience of her legs, she pressed the button on the bedside. After a while, a nurse came into the ward and asked her what she needed.
Yuan Ling: “I want to know where Shen Xin’s operating room is!”
Time goes back ten minutes.
Investigation Bureau office building.
The emaciated Shen Xin collapsed on the steps in front of the building, his clothes torn and stained with blood.
Seeing this, the investigator who had just returned from outside rushed forward to help the man and notified the medical center.
As a result, several people turned Shen Xin over and were stunned.
“It’s Shen Xin!”
"Oh my god, his eyes! How could this happen!!!"
The mission that Shen Xin had participated in before was upgraded from three stars to five stars, and the entire investigation bureau had heard about it.
Everyone was quietly waiting for the 30 days to come. Who would have thought that the man finally waited, but the scars all over his body and the eye-catching bloodshot eyes really made the surrounding investigators tremble with fear.
That is the legendary five-star mission. Even Chen Xin, the strongest in the bureau, ended up in such a miserable state. If it were them, wouldn’t they be killed in every minute?
There was a sudden chill on the neck, and everyone was shocked by the cruelty while hurriedly bandaging Shen Xin.
Ran Yan rushed over at this time.
As she counted the days, she naturally knew that today was the day Shen Xin would return. She had already arranged for medical staff to wait at the door of the medical center. When she learned that he had returned and was lying unconscious in front of the office building, she rushed into the crowd and rushed Shen Xin to the emergency room.
After finishing all these, she finally had time to send a message to Yuan Ling.
At this time, Yuan Ling had already found out Shen Xin's operating room. She was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed to Ran Yan by the nurse.
Ran Yan looked at her with red eyes.
Yuan Ling stretched out her hand and held the other person tightly: “Shen Xin will be fine.”
“…Yes, Brother Shen Xin will be fine…but his eyes…” Ran Yan buried her head and sobbed, unable to accept that he was so handsome and such an outstanding person, but he actually lost his eyes.
The atmosphere became depressed.
Yuan Ling pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. The two of them had no choice but to wait quietly outside the door for news from the doctor.
Soon Shen Xin was pushed out, with a bandage around his eyes and his body covered with bandages.
Shen Xin's branch chief Gao Qiyi arrived just in time. He was leaning on a cane and tremblingly took the doctor's hand and asked if Shen Xin was okay.
The doctor smiled and reassured everyone: "Mr. Gao, two investigators, don't worry. Shen Xin is recovering well, and his wound has healed long ago. It's just a little bit disturbing, but it's actually nothing serious. Just a few days of recuperation will be fine."
Gao Qi repeatedly patted his chest: "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay!"
Like Yuan Ling, Shen Xin was sent to his exclusive VIP ward and equipped with professional nutritionists and convalescents to recover inside and out.
He had a passive healing skill, and after careful treatment, all the scars on his body faded away within a few days.
After the injury is healed, it is time to report the mission.
There are no exceptions for any investigator.
Shen Xin was pushed into the interrogation room, and the cold metal door locked with a click.
The chief director, Gao Qiyi, Ran Yan and several other branch directors stood outside the one-way glass.
"Tell me about your eyes, Shen Xin, were they injured by an evil creature?"
For some reason, when Ran Yan heard the director ask this question, she felt an inexplicable chill in the room.
Maybe the air conditioner is turned on too low, she thought as she looked at the wall-mounted air conditioner behind her.
In the interrogation room, Shen Xin straightened his body slightly. Although his eyes could not be seen under the bandage, Ran Yan knew from his calm demeanor and his usual gentle voice that his answer would satisfy the director.
"Commander, my eyes were indeed injured by the evil creature. The tentacles pierced my eyes. In order to save myself, I dug out my eyes and escaped."
Dig out your own eyes!
Ran Yan's heart pounded. She didn't expect Chen Xin to be so cruel to her!
I glanced at him again and found that the director and the others also looked extremely shocked.
The director took a deep breath and said after a while, "Thank you for your hard work."
After a pause, he continued: "Then the next question is, where is Song Yue?"
Ran Yan could see Shen Xin's face tremble slightly. It was a very inconspicuous micro-expression, but she could see it clearly.
"Director, Song Yue...went to the Void."
What? !
The people outside the glass were quite surprised.
As if he remembered something, Takasaki's face turned pale and his hand holding the crutch trembled violently.
Ran Yan clenched her fists and frowned. She certainly understood why Shen Xin's boss was so out of control.
Takasaki Ichi is the only survivor of the five-star mission fifty years ago. According to him, he was able to come back alive thanks to his teammates' fearless attitude towards life.
They knew they were beyond help, so they wanted to use their last bit of strength to get rid of the evil creature and let Takaki go back.
They made the same choice as Song Yue, using spells to open a teleportation aperture leading to the void.
This aperture is different from the aperture that leads back to the Investigation Bureau. The latter is light blue, while the former is orange-red. Once you step in, there is no possibility of coming back.
No, perhaps the word "maybe" cannot be used. Instead, it should be said that Song Yue will die completely in there.
Those predecessors who sacrificed themselves to drag the evil creatures into the void have not returned yet. Although no one said it openly, everyone knew in their hearts that those investigators would never come back.
Gao Qiyi was a witness and survivor of that disaster. Ran Yan knew that he wanted his former teammates to return more than anyone else.
So when he heard Shen Xin say that Song Yue actually chose to go to the void, his first reaction was trembling and shock.
Shen Xin inside the glass seemed to be able to feel the atmosphere outside, and he raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said word by word: “Director, Mr. Gao, I want to apply to enter the void and find Song Yue back.”
"Nonsense!" Gao Qiyi stomped his crutch hard and shouted at him without hesitation, "What kind of place is the Void? Do you think you can go there? This is ridiculous!"
Everyone understood why he was so excited.
Gao Qiyi had lost his teammates before, and he didn't want to lose his students, apprentices, or even the children he raised.
However, Shen Xin had no intention of giving in. Instead, he poked Gao Qiyi's sore spot: "Mr. Gao, don't you want to know the situation of the seniors? If I go in, I can help you find them."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, mixed with Takasaki Ichi's anger and rage.
"You're crazy! Who told you to go looking for someone on your own initiative? I don't agree! If you dare to go in, I'll break your legs!"
Those present had never seen Takaki Ichi so angry. He hit the glass hard with his crutch, turned around and left angrily.
The director looked embarrassed and couldn't find any good excuse for a while.
Finally, it was Ran Yan who took the initiative to step forward, took the microphone, and said to the person inside: “Brother Chen Xin, it’s me, Ran Yan.”
Song Yue stood on the barren ground, looking around vigilantly.
Fortunately, she remembered the spell that Ran Yan told her to open the door to the void, otherwise she would not have thought of this method to help Chen Xin get rid of those evil creatures.
Oh, strictly speaking it’s not a solution, but a shift of position.
The Void is independent of any known dimension. It is a mysterious and terrifying existence. No one knows how it was born or how it operates.
The only thing the investigators know is that the void is the breeding ground for evil creatures. Once they mature, the evil creatures will tear through the mouth of time and space and go to other worlds to search for food.
The investigators' duties include strangling evil creatures, but not every strangulation is successful.
Song Yue did not have the original owner's memory, but when he was resting in the ice cave before, he heard Ran Yan mention the tragedy that happened fifty years ago.
The senior investigators sent out were almost wiped out. In order to complete their mission, they resolutely opened the door to the void with their last breath, and then used their last remaining strength to drag the evil creature back to the void.
This is a desperate measure, and investigators will hardly use it unless their lives are hanging by a thread.
Compared to the military strategy of hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing one's own life by a hundred and eighty, this practice of sacrificing one's own life only to send the evil creature back to the void is simply an extremely unprofitable deal.
After hearing this, Song Yue thought to herself that she would never do such a stupid thing.
But she didn't expect that she would eventually embark on the same path as her predecessors.
She has no offensive skills and cannot defeat the black line.
Chen Xin was seriously injured and had lost his eyesight, so he couldn't be allowed to die.
If he died, how could I live?
This is the only solution. Song Yue thought a lot about it. After all, he had died once and was not afraid of dying again.
And maybe if she died in this world, she would be able to go back?
After all, this body was not hers. Song Yue was sure that only her consciousness had passed through, not her body.
So she still has a chance to go home and find 099.
Even if we take a step back and say the worst, what if she doesn't die after entering the void?
It turned out that after stepping into the void, Song Yue was indeed still alive.
Ahead was an endless yellow desert with some dark hills that looked like enlarged bamboo shoots. The whole sky was dark gray and there was no sun.
The overall environment was depressing and lifeless, different from any disaster world she had ever visited.
Song Yue's intuition told him that there could only be dead things here, and any living organisms would be reduced to dust.
There was something faintly reflecting light on the ground. She lowered her head and was stunned when she saw it clearly.
As he was concentrating, a thick black shadow suddenly appeared behind him!
An evil aura crept up from her ankles to her back, making no secret of its desire for her flesh and blood.
Song Yue immediately picked up the things on the ground and ran away with a swish.
As she ran, she glanced sideways and realized that the creature chasing her was an evil creature that looked like a centipede.
The arthropod is a prehistoric diplopod, which is simply an ancient relative of modern centipedes and millipedes. It is generally about 0.5 to 2.3 meters long and about half a meter wide.
The length of this one is estimated to be more than 2 meters. When half of its body stands up, the exposed sections of its abdomen are so scary that it makes your scalp tingle.
Song Yue trembled all over and ran forward desperately.
Seeing that it couldn't catch up with her, the centipede sprayed venom from its mouthparts from a distance.
Song Yue was now able to control her steps very well, and she dodged and successfully avoided the venom.
When it comes to running, the guy behind her definitely can't outrun her.
But you can't keep hiding like this. If you can't fight back effectively, it's essentially the same as running away.
With a flash of inspiration, she suddenly aimed at a hill not far away that looked like a small bamboo shoot.
Reversing her steps, she led the centipede to the foot of the hill and began to circle around it.
These hills are actually very small. Calling them mountains would be an exaggeration, but if you don’t call them that, they stand in the wilderness and look like mountains.
All in all, the size and height are just right.
Song Yue led the evil creature around for a few circles, then, when the time was right, he stabbed the sword he had picked up into its tail with a "whoosh" sound!
The evil creature raised its upper body and screamed in pain. It wanted to move forward and bite Song Yue, but its tail was dragged by the sword stuck in the ground, making it unable to move.
Then he drew out the flat-bladed spear from his back, swung it in an arc, and the evil creature's head fell to the ground with a snap.
To be honest, Song Yue was quite surprised by the attack he had just launched.
She had never learned to use swords, spears, swords or halberds, and had no idea how to use them. The only weapons she knew were pistols and sniper rifles. She learned one during military training in college, and the other she learned through forced training in a natural disaster dungeon.
Could it be because of the original owner's muscle memory? She couldn't help but wonder.
While she was guessing, her thoughts were interrupted by a faint light that suddenly condensed on the weapon.
It was a very thin layer of light, covering the greatsword and the flat-bladed spear, like a layer of light mist.
Song Yue picked them up and looked at them, but couldn't find the source of the light, so he had to carry them on his back, one on each side, and continued on his way.
Soon, a row of corpses stood before her.
Song Yue stood there, her eyelashes trembling with her breathing.
The same way they died as the members of the scientific expedition team.
The organs were hollowed out, the flesh and blood were eaten, leaving only a row of white bones hanging on the rack.
From left to right, there are 21 bodies hanging in total.
Some of them have incomplete limbs, with only half a body or even half a skull remaining.
Song Yue calmed himself down, walked over, and took off a piece of clothing from one of the corpses that was still relatively intact.
[First Round, White, 10]
It's the investigator!
Song Yue suddenly raised his head and scanned the 21 corpses one by one again...
They... are all investigators!
Suddenly she remembered something and took off the flat-bladed spear from her back. On the handle of the spear, she clearly saw the same words engraved on it: Bai Ye.
This is the weapon of the person in front of me.
What about the greatsword?
She took down the greatsword again.
The name was also seen on the handle of the knife - Chen Yu.
The surname is Chen, the same as Chen Xin.
Song Yue gripped the sword tightly, his eyes fixed, and he began searching for pieces of clothing one by one, starting with the first corpse.
The search process was difficult because these investigators had been dead for many years and their clothes were scattered all over the place, some of them even fell to the ground and were buried in the soil.
Song Yue took some time and finally confirmed the remains of Investigator Shen Yu.
[First Round, Chen Yu, 10]
Like Bai Ye, he belongs to the same bureau and is also a level 10 investigator. He is quite outstanding.
Then she found a fragment of a photo at Shen Yu's feet. In the limited picture, she could only see a woman with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a single ponytail, and a bright smile.
Song Yue turned the photo to the back and saw a line of beautiful small words.
—Defending humanity to the death...
The following words were on other fragments. Song Yue searched for a while but to no avail, so he had to give up.
Near the corpse, Song Yue also found a dirty backpack stained with blood. However, because the blood had weathered, it could still be used after being crushed and shaken.
She took parts of 21 skeletons, marked them with stones, and put them into her backpack one by one, stuffing photos in them. After doing this, she stood up and bowed deeply to the corpses.
During the whole process, Song Yue did not notice that the sword and spear behind her were slowly injecting white light into her body.
There is one advantage of the void, she can go without food or drink.
And sleep time is also greatly reduced.
In other words, as long as she is not eaten by the evil creatures in the void, she can stay here forever.
Unfortunately, there was no sunrise or sunset in the void, and the sky was always gloomy. Song Yue had no idea how long she had been there. In order to give herself a sense of time, she began to count time by strangling evil creatures.
This is thanks to those bamboo shoot-like hills.
It turns out that those pointed things are not mountains, but containers or wombs that breed evil things.
Every so often, a crack would appear on the mountaintop, and new evil creatures would crawl out. Then, only a layer of skin would remain of the "bamboo shoots," which would fall limply to the ground and soon merge with the scorched desert.
Song Yue made a rough estimate and found that the "bamboo shoots" would break their skin about once every 12 hours.
Then she would take this opportunity to kill the new evil creatures and leave their remains as proof of time.
Countless 12 hours accumulated, and before she knew it, the place where Song Yue lived had been piled up with 358 pieces of evil creatures' remains, including tentacles, tails, and eyeballs... In short, she would chop off whichever part was convenient for her.
But in fact, the eyes are actually her favorite part.
Want to know the reason?
It's very simple.
Have obsession.
It was they who forced Chen Xin to gouge out her eyes, so she had no choice but to let these evil creatures taste the pain of having their eyes gouged out.
Song Yue didn't realize that when she looked at the evil creatures that came to her door, her eyes were filled with a murderous aura that would make any living being feel terrified.
For the 359th attack, Song Yue didn't even use a weapon.
She directed her black tentacles, piercing the evil creature in front of her like a sharp blade.
