Chapter 335 Monster Hospital (Thirty-Four)
Bei Xi suddenly sat down with a little confusion on her face, as well as a brief pain that she had not yet struggled out of some memories, but the latter was soon suppressed by Bei Xi. She raised her eyes and looked at the nearby sea again, and said with certainty, "This is not the scene in our memory. Why did she choose this place?"
From the scenes in the first act to the second act, Bei Xi has determined that the evil god wanted to make Nan Huan immersed in the false scenes created by him, but did not want Nan Huan to recognize them immediately. Therefore, those scenes were very familiar places in the memories of Nan Huan and Bei Xi, such as the kindergarten, the amusement park, etc., which they had visited when they were children.
However, the sea in front of them was not familiar to Nan Huan and Bei Xi. Bei Xi found it strange. According to the evil god's marking, this was not a qualified scene.
Nan Huan shook his head and looked towards the sea in the distance. "This time she simply gave up. I don't know if it was because she was unfamiliar with the scene, or because the evil god didn't use your face again, or if there were other reasons. Anyway, I woke up not long after entering this scene. So I am more inclined to believe that she did this for a reason, or that she deliberately let us stay here."
Nan Huan naturally understood what Bei Xi meant. In fact, when she saw the sea, she became suspicious just like Bei Xi, so she tried to test the evil god by saying that she wanted Bei Xi to appear and watch the sea with her. Unexpectedly, the other party left so readily.
The moment she finished speaking, Bei Xi seemed to sense something and also looked towards the sea level in the distance.
Although Nanhuan's eyesight and five senses were not as sharp as Beixi's, the movement on the sea level was so huge, or so obvious, that she soon discovered the clues.
In the distance, where the sea and the sky met, a black gas was rolling up, wrapping the waves layer by layer, and rushing towards them at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, the black gas was as high as several stories high, and appeared majestically on the sea level.
Nan Huan was about to reach out to touch the weapon in the control panel, although she hadn't figured out why the evil god had to do this since he knew clearly that the two of them couldn't fight each other under such circumstances, or whether there was some deadly weapon hidden in the dark air that was approaching from afar.
However, before Nan Huan could move, Bei Xi held him down. "The black air is still far away from us. Because of the sea level, it feels very close, but in fact it is very far away. It can't get close for a while."
Bei Xi had better eyesight and saw more clearly. She did not lie, but she did not tell the whole story, because she soon realized that this scene was not what the evil god wanted them to see, but what the other party wanted her to see. Nan Huan could not see clearly what was in the black air in the distance due to his eyesight, so only she could see it clearly.
The black gas quickly condensed into a giant water curtain, on which she saw her own shadow. To be more precise, it was the shadow of her past self, a period of memory that she was not familiar with. Although there was a possibility that the evil god or Man Wugui had transformed into her appearance, Bei Xi was able to confirm from the moment she saw the shadow that it was her past self, and not the shadow of someone else.
In the picture, her body was constantly absorbing the endless black air, but there was no expression of pain on her face, but an expression of matter-of-factness, as if the black air was originally very compatible with her body. The picture was very short, but it was reflected on the black screen at a fixed frequency.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that black energy?"
Maybe Bei Xi took too long to notice, or maybe Nan Huan instinctively realized that something was wrong, and a rare look of anxiety appeared on his face.
"It's nothing. I just don't understand what the other party wants to do by doing this?" Bei Xi's expression was normal. He shook his head, with a hint of just the right amount of doubt on his face, which directly led Nan Huan astray.
"Yeah, if it's a death threat, it's a bit of a big noise with little action," Nan Huan stood on tiptoe and tried to see something clearly from the black air, but due to the difference in vision, he didn't get a result that was equal to his effort. "It can't be that they want to use this thing to scare the two of us. The evil god shouldn't be so boring."
Indeed, they would not be so bored. They had already started a psychological warfare with me, wanting to use this scene to create a gap between me and Nan Huan? But this method was a bit too straightforward. Otherwise, what was the other party trying to hint at me?
Bei Xi's mind was spinning quickly, and she had thought of several possibilities in an instant, but she took Nan Huan back to where they had just sat without any hurry, "Let's wait and see, if they really want to do something, they will definitely show some clues, if not, we can just enjoy the scenery for a while and not let them down."
There was nothing wrong with these words at first glance, but Nan Huan always felt that Bei Xi's last four words sounded like gnashing of teeth, but he was quickly diverted by Bei Xi.
But after Bei Xi said this with a hint of meaning, the black gas on the sea level suddenly disappeared without a trace. Before the two of them could react, they felt a sharp pain in their solar plexus at the same time, realizing that the short time to watch the sea was wasted, and the final stage was coming.
Nan Huan didn't even have the chance to tell Bei Xi to be careful, as everything in front of him went dark, and the feeling of Bei Xi's embrace on him also disappeared.
[Extinction is the inevitable outcome and the end of everything, but to some extent, the end is another starting point.]
A familiar voice came, Nan Huan had already gotten used to it, and the four stages described in the task were just as he had guessed, just like the life process of ordinary creatures, from birth to discovery, to maturity, and then to extinction. No matter whether it was a human or any other creature, their life would probably be divided into these four stages.
However, each stage seems to have something peculiar. For example, regarding the extinction mentioned here, the system deliberately added "the end is another starting point". Nan Huan has not yet understood the implied meaning of this sentence, but in these copies, Nan Huan has long understood that there will be no nonsense in the tasks issued by the system.
There were also several memory points of her own that she had seen in the previous scenes. After bringing them in, it became difficult to determine who the protagonists of the four life cycles here were, herself or Bei Xi, or if they were referring to something else.
There were too many things in her mind, and she was receiving electric shocks in the treatment room. Her overall condition was not good. Although this mission did not involve fighting and war, Nan Huan's physical strength should not have been greatly depleted, but her body had not fully recovered. After tossing back and forth, she was on the verge of collapse.
When all this mess disappeared from her mind again, she instinctively bit her tongue, trying to wake herself up, but it didn't have much effect, because she quickly returned to the state of "it" from her rational state.
But this time, the physical weakness did not ease immediately. It took it a long time to confirm its current physical condition, which seemed to be very bad, but it did not figure out the source of this bad condition.
Because everything was normal on the empty land in front of them, the monsters had long since recovered into human form. No one knew how long they had lived in this skin, nor how many vicissitudes of life they had experienced. The scope of the boundary was shrinking due to the approaching humans, and was finally directly cancelled. The monsters seemed to have reached a delicate balance with humans and lived on the same land.
On the surface, this land is no longer contaminated by the black air, and the sky is no longer foggy and unclear, but clear, as if there is nothing here that can threaten monsters and humans.
But the strength of its body seemed to be weakening day by day, and the black air absorbed in its body was surging more and more, just like the sea that seemed extremely calm on the surface, but in fact, the inside was already turbulent.
This made it feel very bad, and there was another reason, which was that A Xi was not with it this time. It seemed to have gotten used to A Xi being by its side, and when it didn't see her, its heart sank for no reason. But before it could go looking for A Xi, everything in front of it was suddenly like a huge light bulb flashing, and it was all taken away, replaced by another scene.
The houses that had already been built were directly knocked over by the black gas that emerged from the ground. The vast land that was originally peaceful was covered by the black gas again in an instant, and even the sky became turbid again.
The strong smell of blood, like rain, permeated the land.
It found that the black air in its body had all leaked out like a balloon with a hole in it. It stood there in a daze, feeling that its mind should be clear, but it could not remember anything that had happened before, and did not understand why it had suddenly become the current situation.
He just felt that the golden light that had been shrouding him seemed to be dissipating little by little as the black air overflowed, as if something important that was supporting him was eliminated in an instant.
A huge sadness rose in its heart, and it didn't understand why it had such an emotion. It felt that the scene in front of it seemed different from the previous one, and its emotions and the picture were not consistent, so that it had a lot of emotions in its heart, but it didn't know where these emotions came from.
Soon the picture jumped and the scene changed again.
The sky was even darker than before, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The original appearance of the ground could no longer be seen, and it was only surrounded by layer upon layer of black air, and there seemed to be something piled on top.
It saw those monsters that had turned into human forms, gradually losing their human appearance like taking off clothes, and being entangled by black air and transformed into monsters again.
However, the monsters had not grown fangs and claws for too long, and they seemed to be bound by something and fixed in place. Little by little, they began to disintegrate. The monsters made long cries, and it understood that they were calling for help, but it could do nothing.
It was not until the dim environment that he captured Axi's existence. The other party had not completely turned into a monster, but there was some black air wrapped around the lower part of her body. However, she seemed very calm, and she looked at him with some compassion through the thousands of roars and the endless black air.
It understood in an instant that the compassion in the other person's eyes was for it, not for herself.
It felt a huge sadness in its heart and tried desperately to get closer to the other party, but it seemed to be stopped by an invisible force. It could only stretch out its fingers, trying to grab something.
It seemed that it was still shouting Shennong, but it could not hear the content of its own shouting. It could only watch as Axi's body was completely covered by black air, and then disappeared bit by bit. It stretched out its hand hard to grab it, and before it got completely dark, it seemed to have caught a piece of something.
Then, the picture turned completely dark, but its consciousness seemed to still exist, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep again. However, this time it was not completely unconscious, but the faint remaining consciousness was not enough for it to distinguish where it was now.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky finally brightened, or maybe I finally opened my eyes.
Accompanied by a very faint cry, it seemed to welcome its birth. Those huge memories of struggle, distortion and sadness seemed to disappear the moment it opened its eyes, and seemed to be instinctively hidden behind a heavy door.
It became very weak. Other babies of the same age were twice as big as it, but it was so small. It was so weak that it seemed that if you held it a little harder, its life would be ended. If it cried a little louder, it would be unable to breathe.
His consciousness would often be disconnected, and he would often wake up to see the familiar ceiling of the hospital. The days seemed a little boring, but his heart was very calm, as if he was waiting for something to come.
Until one day, it seemed like it had a partner who always accompanied it. She would secretly take it to experience things that others did not allow it to do. Everyone treated it with caution as if it were a national treasure, but she made it experience the feeling of being an ordinary person.
It always thought that the person was different from other people and would not worry about its physical condition. Until one time when it was unwell and admitted to the hospital, it found that the other person was always worried when it showed a painful expression, and always looked at it with a mysterious look when it didn't notice.
As it gradually grew up, its body was slowly recovering and it was no longer as fragile as a paper-made one when it was a child. It liked to stay with that person very much. Every time it felt uncomfortable, it would pester the other person to tell it stories. It didn't like to see the other person's worried expression. Sometimes it even felt that the price of its body was that God sent the other person to it. All the complaints and grievances seemed to disappear at a certain moment.
Just when it thought that life would continue in this dull manner, she suddenly disappeared, and then it was pulled into a game.
The picture stopped abruptly, and the familiar pain made it briefly withdraw from the picture. Just when it thought it had to go through at least one more scene, everything around it became blurred and slowly disappeared with a gust of wind, and everything in front of its eyes was shrinking and gathering, until its sight returned to the small treatment room and to Bei Xi, who was fixed on the chair with it not far in front of it.
It pulled itself away from those complicated and messy pictures and slowly returned to the small room of the ultimate copy.
The impact it brought was temporarily suppressed, Nan Huan regained his sanity, and the electric shock stopped in an instant.
With a click, the buckle on the corset undid.
The moment Nan Huan's body slid down by inertia and was embraced by Bei Xi, he stopped at the familiar system prompt sound.
