Lin Yuan didn't know how long he had been falling. He felt very weightless.

She remembered the sentry's instructions and used her hands and the soles of her shoes to support the inner wall of the pipe, trying to increase friction to control her falling speed.

Later, the soles of the shoes began to heat up, and Lin Yuan even suspected that they would burn. Fortunately, the gloves were of good quality. Although they rubbed my palms sore, they did not wear out until I reached the exit, protecting Lin Yuan's hands.

Lin Yuan rolled out from a patch of weeds, startling countless flying insects in the dark night.

In the distance, I heard the croaking of frogs, and nearby, I heard the flying of night insects. There were several bags of garbage of various sizes piled around me.

Lin Yuan touched the grass leaves under his butt. They were soft and fresh, no longer as crystal clear as emerald green.

She came out, escaped from that cold and strange palace.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he leaned back to the pipe entrance to listen. There were only some meaningless noises, but no specific sounds. There was only a dark hole, and he couldn't see what was happening at the top.

Lin Yuan knew that she couldn't do anything anymore. She didn't have the ability to climb back along the steep pipe.

Ni Ji's decision is rational, correct and logical.

Rather than two people dying together in the pipe, it would certainly make more sense for one of them to escape first.

Lin Yuan knows that she is an emotionally deficient person. All her actions are driven by rational thinking.

Since there is nothing I can do, of course there is nothing much to think about.

[The little fish is still on top]

[Are you really going to ignore him? ]

[Small fish will be bullied]

[He will definitely be bullied badly]

[He is so soft, too easy to bully?]

Lin Yuan ignored the tentacles' mutterings. She stood up, looked at the sky above her head, and began to walk away.

The sky was still full of stars at night. It seemed as if the sky here would never get bright.

No matter whether it is day or night, time seems to be frozen here and will never flow.

The sentinel might not get out. She made the decision as she waded through a thin stream. He would be left here forever.

A little water seeped into the soles of my shoes, making them cold and sticky and very uncomfortable.

Lin Yuan touched his backpack and found a piece of red paper that he had stuffed inside.

I opened the folded red paper and found that there was no sugar inside. Only a little bit of peanut-flavored powder remained.

Lin Yuan licked off the last bit of powdered sugar.

It's really delicious. I don't know where the sentinel found it. Maybe no one will find this for me in the future.

Lin Yuan thought of Rachel and the scene he had seen in that broken mental picture.

She thought that the sentry might also encounter those things, be pressed on the platform by those black arms, and endure long and cruel torture.

Eventually he will be unable to bear the pain. The mysterious underwater world will become turbid, and the beautiful whale may die...

She didn't know why she was thinking all this.

In the past, if she thought about something that was useless, she would probably just stop thinking about it.

She walked through the streets filled with monsters and felt that she looked no different from these monsters.

"Did you find my cat?" the huge boy three stories high asked her in the same place.

Lin Yuan raised her head. She had to raise her head very high to see the boy's face clearly. "What does your cat look like?"

"A black cat with a white belly." The boy gestured in the air, "It feels very soft..."

Lin Yuan pointed him in the direction of the palace and said, "I saw a similar cat there."

Under the starry sky, the pure white palace was shimmering with white light and could still be seen clearly here.

The boy quickened his pace and walked in that direction.

"Hey." Lin Yuan called him.

The huge face turned around, revealing a somewhat confused look.

"Do you know that it's very dangerous there and there's no way back once you go there?" Lin Yuan said.

"I know, people are eaten there." The boy said slowly, "but I want to find my cat."

Did he leave?

The boy's huge footprints crushed the weeds and a few purple wild flowers on the ground.

Compared to a giant child, the delicate flower can only bear the fate of death.

Lin Yuan stared at the broken petals in a daze.

She saw a broken flower, trembling and standing up again in the gentle night breeze.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly started running.

She soon met Xiaomu who came down from his hiding place to look for her.

She opened her backpack and handed the white jade arm inside to Xiaomu.

"Go, take the little birdies out." After stuffing the things in, Lin Yuan turned around and ran back.

Xiaomu hurriedly called her: "What are you going to do?"

"Once the door to the contaminated area is opened, it will remain there for 24 hours." Lin Yuan waved as he ran, "I will find a way to get out before the door is closed."

After she finished speaking, she realized that these words were exactly the same as what Ni Ji had said to her.

Even the tone of voice is the same, as if they are talking about something that can be accomplished easily.

The tentacles happily followed Lin Yuan back.

Lin Yuan was a little confused about them. They were so depressed when they escaped from the land of death. But they were so happy when they were on the road to exile.

Although there is a saying that the spiritual body represents the truest thoughts in one's heart, Lin Yuan feels that he is not that crazy.

When I was halfway through the run, I heard a faint roar from the sky above my head, and the stars trembled slightly.

Lin Yuan looked back. In the sky above the high ground where Xiao Niao and the others were hiding, a door slowly opened.

Is that the exit? The escape door, the way out of this contaminated area has been opened.

Okay, there is nothing else to do now.

Just worry about the last one.

Worry.

Lin Yuan pondered over the word in his heart.

She spent a lot of time.

But in the end, he returned to the gate of the palace.

Lin Yuan sat on the steps where he had rested last time and began to eat the leftover food he had taken from Xiaomu's bag.

It's probably less than a day since I last sat here.

But Lin Yuan inexplicably felt that he had become stronger.

There is a heart in my chest that must go in.

It's not about dying here, nor about turning into a monster, but there is something that must be accomplished, there is someone who must be rescued.

Even the tentacles were rubbing their hands, cleaning their suction cups, and flexing their muscles. They were all full of energy, and not a single sound of being tired, hungry, or complaining about laziness was heard.

At this time, the palace gate not far away was in chaos.

A giant boy, taller than the door, was rushing in recklessly.

On the huge red lacquered pillars with carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, laser weapons lit up red lights in rows like blood-red eyes.

The red rays intertwined in the air, cutting the giant's body into several pieces.

Blood, flesh and filth were smeared on the snow-white palace walls and beautiful jade steps.

Soon, the soft lumps of flesh began to wriggle again, transforming into several boys of different sizes but identical appearances.

Boys of all sizes stood up from the blood and flesh on the ground, shouting and yelling as they continued to rush in.

Repeat this process several times.

Outside the pure white palace walls, blood flowed like a river, and scattered red flesh and blood piled up like a mountain.

Countless boys stood up from their flesh with angry faces, pulling at the gate, gnawing at the pillars and the laser weapons.

A squeak.

The door that was almost never opened finally opened.

The metal-headed guards appeared from the door.

They drew their weapons and began stabbing and capturing the boys as they rushed in one by one.

The metal guards were very strong and quickly held down the children running around. However, there were still some, especially the small ones, whooshed in.

Little boys, some the size of thumbs, some the size of insects, and even those with barely visible eyes, rushed into the open door, shouting the kitten's name.

Lin Yuan stood up, shook off the food residue in his hands, took advantage of the chaos, stepped on the slippery red flesh and blood on the ground, and walked into the door.

There were so many guards coming and going, but not one of them saw her.

She seemed to be walking in the blind spot of everyone's sight.

It's actually very difficult to control so many thoughts at the same time. Just one mistake, even if one person wakes up and notices her, it will be a failure.

But it did not fail. Lin Yuan's spirit was more focused than ever before, and the tentacles cooperated more than ever before.

The palace covers a large area, and a little commotion at the gate does not affect the tranquility of the garden.

In the garden, the emerald green plants and sapphire mechanical birds are still as beautiful as the last time I came in.

Lin Yuan found a little boy clone in the bushes, which was only the size of a fist.

A bloody mess, it was crawling back and forth in the crystal clear grass leaves, and had not yet fully recovered its human form.

Lin Yuan picked him up and let him sit on his shoulders.

They walked to the palace where the black cat was kept last time and heard a small cat meowing.

A small cat with a black back and a white belly slipped out from the crack in the door.

"Go ahead." Lin Yuan said to the boy on her shoulder.

The bloody little man jumped off Lin Yuan's shoulder, climbed up the stairs with difficulty, and threw himself into the black cat's fluffy neck.

The kitten, who was much older than him, stuck out its tongue and licked the little head that was gradually taking shape.

The door opened, and Mr. Triangle came out in a suit and leather shoes with a white towel hanging on his arm.

When he "saw" Lin Yuan, he was stunned for a moment, looking as if he was in a dilemma.

Afterwards, he coughed, straightened his tie with his hand, and walked past Lin Yuan with his eyes closed and a towel draped over his shoulders.

It was as if he hadn't noticed Lin Yuan at all, and his behavior was exactly the same as the other metal heads that were affected by Lin Yuan.

Of course Lin Yuan knew that he saw her.

"Hey." Lin Yuan called him, "Can you see me?"

The pyramid in front stopped and did not look back. Its single big eye blinked nervously.

"Where is my sentry?" Lin Yuan asked, "Where did you take him?"

Triangle didn't turn around. He turned his back to Lin Yuan, calmly took off one of his gloves and threw it into the grass by the roadside.

"Oh, where is one of my gloves? I wonder where I lost it?" Mr. Triangle, a tall and thin man, stood there thinking for a while, "Maybe it fell on the road I just came from? I have to go back and look for it."

Lost? The triangle of a glove walked forward with elegant steps.

Lin Yuan followed his back and followed him from a distance.

She found? The sentinel.

He was chained by the neck and chained in the very center of the garden, above a pile of cold gems.

Lin Yuan didn't know what he had experienced during this time.

In order to prevent him from escaping, the monsters broke his legs. The crotch of his black tactical uniform was torn, and his beautiful long legs hung down powerlessly from the large piece of lapis lazuli.

There was a lot of blood on his body.

The beautiful killer whale was unable to return to the mental image. It was stuck by a strange spiritual white thread, piercing through its tail, and hanging alive on a sharp moonstone.

Perhaps it felt the tentacles approaching, the killer whale opened its mouth and let out a few painful sobs.

The tentacles fell silent collectively for a moment?

Lin Yuan felt a sharp pain in his head.

Something is cracking. The place where spirits normally come in and out is cracking and expanding.

They made a low groaning sound.

That gigantic deep-sea monster hiding in another dimension, the spirit of Lin Yuan, which had never appeared in its full form, squirmed its huge body and made a low sound.

It couldn't wait to squeeze out of the narrow passage and come into this world in its entirety.

Lin Yuan raised his head, his eyes lit up with the clear light of the cold moon.

For a moment, the colorful stars above were dimmed by the cold moonlight.

***

On the cold and hard Gem Mountain, a strange mutant like a leech crawled up to Ni Ji's side.

The young mutant, which had just been born not long ago, squirmed its translucent body, carried a young man's head, and crawled towards Ni Ji's paralyzed hand beside his body, revealing an excited and distorted look on his face.

Lin Yuan had just seen that face not long ago. On that golden beach, this person triumphantly snatched away her energy stone. His name was Tan Shu.

Who would have known that in just a short time, the man who thought he could dominate others at will turned into such a pitiful and ugly monster.

Ni Ji lay motionless on the cut surface of the gemstone. His slender fingers, without the protection of the gloves, were stained by the sticky body of the leech and he only trembled slightly weakly.

"What did I say? Sooner or later you will end up like me." Tan Shu clung to Ni Ji's arm and climbed onto his bloody shoulder. "It's useless. Give up. No one can stand this."

"Haha, hurry up, I can't wait to see what you'll look like after you give up." He swallowed, half panting, half madly said, "Let me see how our glorious senior ends up crying and falling."

Ni Ji opened his eyes slightly. His face was pale, without a trace of blood. Even the movement of opening his eyes was difficult.

But he looked at the face close to him, at the twisted monster, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You are so pitiful." He lay there, smiling weakly and mockingly.

The only part of Tan Shu's face that still retained a human appearance suddenly became distorted.

Twisted and uglier than a monster,

"You too!" he almost screamed. "Do you think you have a chance of getting away?"

"No one will come to save you. No matter how hard you try, you will never be saved. You will soon become like me, ugly, pitiful, and at the mercy of others. You won't even be qualified to beg for mercy."

His evil body, which was clinging tightly to Ni Ji, was suddenly kicked down by a foot.

Tan Shu rolled a few times on the smooth gemstone mountain, stuck to a protruding stone, and raised his soft neck.

He saw in disbelief that a human female, a guide, suddenly appeared in this place where no human could appear.

"Who is the same as you." The woman who climbed to the top of the Gemstone Mountain lowered her head and untied the handcuffs on Ni Ji's neck, "I'm going to take him away now."

The leech-shaped mutant screamed in disbelief.
