The time effect causes double images to appear on the retina.
The concrete wall in reality is covered with moss, but three hours ago, in the gap of time, someone used a brush dipped in peacock blue inhibitor to draw seven groups of rotating Ouroboros symbols here.
When Mou Xuan's hyphae penetrated into the damp brick joints, the rusty red debris actually exuded a bitter smell similar to the disinfectant used in the medical department.
"Is this... a three-dimensional projection?" Assistant Liao suddenly found that his shadow was split into three petals on the symbol.
As he was about to touch the wall, his hand was violently pulled away by the mycelium, and the burn marks of Beidou Tianquan Star immediately appeared on the back of his hand.
There was a sound of gears meshing in Mou Xuan's suit pocket.
He pulled out a space-time anchor that looked like a pocket watch from his inner pocket. What seeped out of the cracks on the surface was not engine oil, but orange-flavored syrup left over from the cold storage.
When the pointer of the anchor passed the III scale, the symbols on the entire wall suddenly moved like a startled centipede.
"It's not a projection." Mou Xuan's mycelium suddenly pierced behind his ear. The ripples of time going back made his voice echo with a metallic texture. "Someone is drilling a hole in the gap between reality and illusion."
Assistant Liao's computer screen suddenly went black, and the symbols recorded on the tablet began to reorganize automatically.
The nodes where the Ouroboros connected their heads and tails were oozing the same amber mucus as the eyes of the families of the missing psychics.
Veins bulged on Mou Xuan's temples, and in the space crack forcibly torn by the time power, half of an electronic tag pierced by a mechanical spider's leg emerged.
"Thirty meters to the southeast." Mou Xuan's mycelium suddenly wrapped around Assistant Liao's wrist and carried him to smash towards a seemingly ordinary wall brick.
At the moment of the collision, eighteen Ouroboros symbols opened their peacock blue eyes at the same time.
A blinding light burst out from the broken bricks.
Assistant Liao saw in a daze that the rainbow candy crumbs on the ground were suspended in the shape of a star map, and Mou Xuan's mycelium was rearranging those rotating symbols into the formation of the Big Dipper in a way that violated the laws of physics.
When the snake pupil corresponding to the Yaoguang star position began to bleed, the entire sewage pipe suddenly sounded the subway entry reminder sound from twenty years ago.
"Someone has tampered with the spatial coordinates." Mou Xuan's leather shoes crushed the glowing snake pupils, and the tip of the hyphae picked up the silky memory data stream.
Under the analysis of the time power, the data gradually revealed the missing seventh layer on the air-raid shelter map. "These symbols are the positioning anchor points of the space fold."
Assistant Liao pointed tremblingly at the secret door that suddenly appeared.
What seeped out from the crack in the door was not sewage, but the peacock blue inhibitor commonly used by the medical department.
Even more bizarre was the traces of frost on the door handle—the jagged pattern of icing was at least seven points similar to Chen Yao’s ice ability.
Mou Xuan's pocket watch suddenly rotated in the opposite direction.
In the five seconds of time and space anchoring, he saw three different versions of himself reaching out to push the door at the same time: the first one had his heart pierced by the mechanical tentacles behind the door; the second one pulled out half of the blood-stained patrol uniform; the third one...
The secret door in reality suddenly oozed black slime.
When Mou Xuan was about to break the door violently, the tingling sensation of the mycelium warning suddenly came from the back of his neck.
Those suspended Ouroboros symbols began to spontaneously combust collectively, forming the shape of the Big Dipper's Kaiyang Star in the peacock blue flames - this was the special mark used by the traitor organization when executing undercover agents.
"Stand back!"
Mou Xuan pulled Assistant Liao's tie and rolled to the right.
The secret door exploded into metal fragments where they had been standing, and half of a burnt electronic ID card was mixed in with the flying parts.
When Mou Xuan rolled up the ID card with mycelium, he heard the sound of boots crushing broken ice behind him.
The sound was abnormally clear in the sewage pipe filled with electronic noise, as if someone was deliberately moving at the scanning frequency of the surveillance camera.
Just as Assistant Liao was about to turn around, Mou Xuan wrapped his neck with mycelium - this was the danger signal they agreed upon before they set out.
The peacock blue flames suddenly went out collectively.
At the moment when the last bit of fluorescence dissipated, Mou Xuan saw that the shadow of his mycelium projected on the wall was slowly being covered by a slender alien outline.
