Chapter 125: Entering the Tiger Cave Again
"Stop the bleeding first! She can't die."
There was a lot of noisy sound coming from my ears, as if there were a lot of people, but at this moment I couldn't tell who was talking.
Everything in front of me was in chaos, with many random thoughts and images flashing through my mind.
In a daze, I fell asleep again.
…
In the chaos, I heard some sounds again, but unlike the noisy sounds, this time the sounds were very clear, and both familiar and strange.
"Are you ready?"
"Um."
“Once you do this, there’s no going back.”
"Then don't look back."
"Oh, that's what I thought too."
The people talking were a man and a woman, and they sounded very friendly.
"Nannan... this is all Mom and Dad can do. If one day you can't find us, don't be afraid. Mom and Dad will always be by your side."
As soon as I finished speaking, it seemed as if a gentle hand touched my head, but that hand was trembling a little.
At this time, a man's voice sounded:
"How are you feeling?"
"It's almost completely abnormal..."
"Alas, we don't have much time."
It was not until now that I suddenly recognized the owners of these two voices.
Aren’t these my parents?
Realizing this, I almost immediately wanted to open my eyes and sit up, but my body refused to obey and I could only lie there, motionless.
"Okay, let's go out and talk first. Lingling just fell asleep, so don't wake the child up." The father's voice sounded again, followed by the footsteps of the two people leaving and a very light sound of the door closing.
After that, the dream was filled with all kinds of complicated images, sometimes cloud and thunder patterns, sometimes the starry sky, and sometimes a tattered doll.
Then the images returned to darkness again.
…
I don't know how long I stayed in the darkness, but my chest started to ache slightly and the noise came again.
"The index is normal now. She is no longer in danger of death. However, the treatment was not timely. She has lost too much blood and I don't know when she will wake up."
"It's okay. There's still time. Use the best supplements to heal her."
"OK."
It was another inexplicable conversation between two people. I tried hard to wake myself up from the chaos, but my eyelids were too heavy and I couldn't lift them up.
I lay in this half-asleep, half-awake state for a long time, and my chaotic thoughts finally became clearer.
I remember I was busy sealing the abnormal units summoned by the Apocalypse Sect.
That guy almost broke his heart...
I don’t know if it succeeded.
But from the conversation I just vaguely heard and the various machine-like "beeping" sounds coming from my ears, I should be in the Investigation Bureau right now.
Surviving a disaster is truly a blessing...
The room I’m in right now is very quiet, so I can sleep for a while longer and then go check on other people after I’ve recovered some strength.
Thinking of this, I fell asleep again with peace of mind.
When I felt that I was a little more conscious, I tried to move my body and was able to move.
"woke up?"
"Um……"
I agreed and then suddenly opened my eyes.
An Xiaowei, wearing a holy white robe, sat in front of the bed, looking at me with a smile.
"What are you doing? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost when you see me?"
When I heard An Xiaowei's words, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Nonsense! Seeing you is scarier than seeing a ghost!
Although I was muttering in my heart, I didn't answer her. I just frowned and looked around the room.
The entire room is decorated like an ICU room in a hospital, but it is full of religious themes.
As if she could see the doubt in my mind, An Xiaowei answered on her own:
"This is the stronghold of the Apocalypse Sect. Don't worry, it's safe."
I closed my eyes and said, "You have quite a lot of strongholds."
Hearing me say this, An Xiaowei smiled happily as if she had heard a compliment: "After all, we are an orthodox organization that believes in the true God. Of course, we have to be more cautious."
"When you say true God, are you referring to the evil god with six eyes on his face that looks like a giant spider?" I opened my eyes again and raised my eyebrows to retort her.
"Oh my, why are you talking like that kid codenamed 'Star' from the Bureau? It's not pleasant at all. After all, I saved your life."
I didn't reply, but I caught the key words in her words.
"Xing" is Song Nanxing's code name in the Investigation Bureau. An Xiaowei must be talking about Song Nanxing, but she just mentioned the word "child".
Judging from appearance alone, An Xiaowei looks much younger than Song Nanxing, and even more like a loli than Lin Hanning.
but……
I couldn't help but recall the photo the captain showed me when I first joined the Investigation Bureau. The person in the photo with my mother looked exactly like An Xiaowei.
"Is it true that people tend to become superstitious as they get older? An Wei'er...Auntie."
An Xiaowei paused, looked up at me for a while, but didn't look too surprised.
Then she laughed again.
"You're quite smart."
Oh, I admit it, you are really an old witch.
Although I don't know what she is up to, I am very sure that my life is not in danger at the moment, otherwise she would not have to go to the trouble of saving me.
Since there is no life-threatening danger, it is better to ask more questions.
"Where's that thing you summoned?"
"Dead."
???
Dead? Died so easily? Why does it feel like they've been holding it in for so long, and it just became a big mess?
But when I thought that this was the work of the Apocalypse Sect, it suddenly seemed reasonable.
Seeing my slightly speechless expression, An Xiaowei was very frank and told me the whole story directly.
"Thanks to you for sealing it, those idiots from the Investigation Bureau were able to destroy this failed experiment. Otherwise, who knows how many more people would have died." An Xiaowei sighed. Although she said this, her tone was full of regret, as if she wished more people would die.
How dare you say that? If the Apocalypse Sect hadn't done such a stupid thing, there would be no casualties at all.
"Auntie, please tell me the key points."
An Xiaowei protested dissatisfiedly, "I still like you to call me Xiaowei, it makes me look younger."
Then she continued speaking.
"After you sealed it, the Bureau of Investigation took action. The sealed container lost most of its abilities and was easily captured and destroyed."
"Okay, just destroy it."
I wanted to ask about the situation of my other teammates, but then I thought better of it. An Xiaowei spoke half-truths and half-lies, and even if she was telling the truth, it would be easy to mislead others, so it was better not to listen.
An Xiaowei looked at me and then spoke.
"Don't you want to know why I rescued you?"
An Xiaowei was treating me like a fool. I immediately said angrily, "Is there even any need to think about this? It must be because of your God's Descent Ritual. You lunatics were able to create a replica of this ritual. You arrested me just for this."
Hearing what I said, An Xiaowei giggled and said with interest, "You don't seem scared at all."
"Of course I'm afraid, but now we're on your territory, and I'm seriously injured. I can't run away even if I want to. I might as well enjoy myself comfortably." I rolled my eyes.
"I told you that you were a smart and lovable child. I even held you in my arms when you were little..."
"Stop!"
I interrupted An Xiaowei's mumbling in time.
She seemed to feel a little disappointed after being interrupted by me. She curled her lips, stood up and said.
"Okay, your injuries haven't healed yet, and you have severe anemia. I won't disturb you for now. Just rest well these few days."
With that she turned around and was about to leave the room.
The moment she opened the door, she laughed strangely, then turned around and said to me, "Ji Ling, don't you want to know where that replica came from?"
Seeing An Xiaowei's appearance, I felt a little scared.
Although I really wanted to know the answer in my heart, I pretended to turn my head away with disdain.
Seeing me like this, An Xiaowei could only leave feeling bored.
After she left, I fell into deep thought.
Judging from the current situation, as long as I recover my health, those lunatics of the Apocalypse Sect will definitely hold a divine descent ceremony immediately.
So I have to find a way to escape from here.
However, escaping from here is definitely not an easy task.
Even though I'm the only one in this room now, those lunatics dared to leave me here alone and didn't restrict my movements, which means they are 100% sure that I can't escape.
In order to leave here, I can't act rashly.
And the most urgent thing is to have a good rest and recover your energy as soon as possible.
Forget it, now that we are here, let’s make the best of it.
After thinking this through, I stopped wasting energy thinking about it and just picked up the fruit on the bedside table and started eating it.
It's the end of the world and there's still fruit. I have to say that the Apocalypse Sect still has something.
Although my physical fitness has improved a lot after evolution and my recovery speed is faster than before, the wound on my chest is too deep and I am still unable to move.
This gives me a headache and I desperately hope to get better soon.
Fortunately, during these few days, the people from the Apocalypse Sect provided me with almost all the good food and drink and took care of me in every possible way. After lying down for a few days, I was able to get out of bed and walk around.
After the nuns who were responsible for taking care of me left, I walked to the window. There was no light coming in through the stained glass window.
And I noticed a problem these days. It seems that the sky outside never gets bright. As soon as the lights are turned off, the whole room becomes dark.
Thinking of this, I walked to the wall.
After all, it was a ward with a religious atmosphere, and the stained glass windows were installed very high, so I couldn't see what was happening outside through the glass.
It seems that I need to find an opportunity to go out and take a look.
At the same time, I have to find a way to contact the Investigation Bureau as soon as possible.
Originally, each of us was equipped with a communication device that functioned similarly to a mobile phone, except that it could only connect to internal staff of the Investigation Bureau.
There is a positioning system on the communication device, which makes it convenient for team members to check each other's positions.
But when I woke up, my clothes had been changed long ago, and I didn't know where the communication device was thrown. All the spare equipment, including the spare equipment, had been looted.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to contact the Investigation Bureau.
At this moment, the door happened to be opened and two nuns walked in.
"Your Excellency the Holy Son, please do not move around casually. Your injuries have not healed yet." One of the nuns frowned.
"I've been lying here for a few days. If I don't move, my muscles will atrophy. I want to go out for a walk."
"This..." The two nuns looked at each other in embarrassment and shook their heads.
"You can move around the room, but don't go out..."
Before he finished speaking, the door opened again and An Xiaowei walked in from outside.
"It doesn't matter. The church is the home of the Holy Son. It doesn't matter where she wants to go."
As she spoke, An Xiaowei glanced at me, just like when we first met in the Information Building. She smiled and said:
"Want to go out for a walk together?"
What is this old witch up to?
I looked at her warily, not knowing whether I should agree or not.
"What are you afraid of? I told you, this is your home. You are safe here, and you can't escape."
An Xiaowei was still smiling, but I felt a chill in her expression.
Well, what she said makes sense, and even if I can't escape, I have to take a look at the layout outside.
Thinking of this, I raised the corners of my mouth, raised my eyebrows and said, "Okay."
As we spoke, An Xiaowei and I walked out of the ward one after the other.
After I walked out, I found that there was actually a church outside, and its layout was very similar to the church in the mirror world before.
Could it be that I was pulled into the mirror again?
But I quickly rejected this assumption.
Although the layout is similar, the space in the mirror world is illogical in three dimensions. This resulted in me leaving through the small door but not returning to the original chemical plant. Instead, I walked in front of the clergy.
However, the layout of this place is reasonable even in three dimensions. It is not the case that entering a door at random will lead to a different place. Each area seems to be in a fixed place.
The church in the mirror seemed infinitely large, with no end in sight. But soon we reached the edge.
Another difference is that there is a cycle of day and night outside the church in the mirror world, but not here.
However, the above are just my guesses and need to be verified.
There are only two possibilities at present. One is that the people of the Apocalypse Sect suddenly changed their style and created a mirror world with a space closer to reality.
Another possibility is that the church is underground.
This would explain why no light came in from outside.
Moreover, the fact that the church is underground is not an absurd guess. After all, the base of the Xinyan City Investigation Bureau is also underground.
Soon, I suddenly remembered something I had temporarily put aside before - the church in the mountain that Jiang Wang had mentioned to me.
Due to various reasons, I have put this matter on hold and have not been able to investigate it.
The more I think about it now, the more likely it seems.
Thinking of this, I suddenly asked An Xiaowei: "How long was I unconscious before I woke up?"
"Almost four days."
