Chapter 185 Something in the Black Mist
Bai Jinli felt very dizzy, he looked up to make himself feel less uncomfortable, but when he looked up he discovered something incredible.
"Lousu, look up." Bai Jinli said.
There was no ceiling at the elevator exit on the -10th floor. At first glance, it looked like it was more than ten meters high, but it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen.
When Lou Su just got out of the elevator, he looked at the corridors on both sides and whether there were any cameras installed above the corridors, but he ignored the location of the elevator door.
"There seems to be something in the darkness, and it feels very familiar to me." Lou Su thought for a moment and said, "The black mist in the jar at the head of Xiao Xie's bed has the same feeling!"
"What is that? Find where the door is and let's go in and take a look." Bai Jinli said while rubbing his temples.
"We must go in and take a look, but are you okay?" They have been in [Floating Life and Dreams] for a long time, and Bai Jinli's mental strength is probably exhausted.
"As soon as I got out of the elevator, I felt my mental strength was rapidly decreasing. Let's hurry up. I'm afraid that my mental strength will be exhausted and I will fall into a coma, which will affect both of us." What he feared most was that he would fall into a coma and Lou Su would be trapped in his special skill and unable to get out.
"Okay." Lou Su said, "Let's search separately. If we encounter danger, use the Captain Card to summon me."
Because there is no end to the corridor on either side, it would be too slow to walk along both sides.
Bai Jinli had the same idea, so he took the lead and walked to the left, while Lou Su ran quickly to the right.
On the right side of the corridor is a bulletproof wall like the one on the -11th floor, and on the left side it looks like reflective glass. I stuck to the glass and looked inside, but I couldn't see anything.
He stopped and looked at the big light above the corridor. After thinking for a while, he sent out a wind blade, shattering all the lights a few meters in front and behind him. The light where he was standing became dim, and he leaned on the glass to look again.
The first glance at him almost sent him away!
There was a black mass in the middle of the room. Because it was quite far away, Lou Su couldn't see clearly what it was. But what surprised him most was that there were long and thin pipes on all sides of the room connected to the middle of the black mass, as if they were transporting something to it.
While Lou Su was observing carefully, Bai Jinli suddenly used the Captain Card to pull him over.
After he agreed, the surrounding environment changed and he appeared directly next to Bai Jinli.
Bai Jinli was in the same situation as him, with many pieces of glass falling on the ground, all of which were broken light bulbs.
"Did you discover it too?" Lou Su asked.
Bai Jinli nodded. "What is that thing? It looks like a giant human brain, with a lot of tubes connected to it. Those tubes must contain the black air, right?"
Lou Su didn't dare to make a conclusion, but he also guessed so.
"Let's find the door first." This time, Lou Su and Bai Jinli walked in the same direction. He ran very fast in front. Bai Jinli felt dizzy and walked a little slowly.
However, Bai Jinli did not let Lou Su wait for him. Finding the door was the most important thing at this time.
They walked around the corridor for most of the negative tenth floor before finally seeing a door.
There was a fingerprint lock on the door, and the work badges they were given were completely useless. But this did not pose a problem for Lou Su, as he simply cut the door open with his wind blade.
In other places, he didn't use the wind blade to open a door and go in directly because the walls were full of pipes, and his wind blade would definitely cut the pipes if it moved. He intuitively felt that those pipes could not be touched, so he and Bai Jinli ran around in such a big circle to find a door.
"Pay attention to the camera." Lou Su caught the falling door and reminded Bai Jinli.
There were cameras installed on both sides above the entrance. With the reminder from Lou Su, Bai Jinli covered them with water curtains.
Bai Jinli's mental strength was almost exhausted. After using this water curtain, his eyes went dark and he almost fell down.
Lou Su reached out and helped him up, "Can you still hold on? Otherwise, why don't you lean against the door and take a rest while I go in and take a look?"
Bai Jinli's face turned pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"It's okay. You don't need to use your superpowers next time. Go in and see what that thing is. I feel like it's sucking my mental energy." Bai Jinli said.
After he said this, Lou Su didn't say anything else and helped him into the big room.
The room is circular, occupying almost the entire negative tenth floor. The room is also as high as a ten-story building. Densely packed black pipes are connected from various places on the wall to the suspended black object.
When you look at it from the outside, it looks like a human brain, but when you get closer you can see that its main body is just a black box in the middle that is more than one meter tall, surrounded by a thick layer of black fog, which is the stuff coming out of the tube.
"This black mist is the same thing as the jar beside Chu Xichi's bed, right?" Bai Jinli spoke while enduring a headache.
"Yes." Lou Su answered confidently, "Can you see what's in the box? The box seems to be transparent, but it's because the black fog inside is too heavy that you can't see clearly."
"I can't see." Bai Jinli was now dizzy and couldn't see clearly.
"I don't feel any danger. Should we go closer and take a look?" Lou Su asked Bai Jinli for his opinion.
He meant to go into the mist and look at the box.
The tubes were not connected directly to the box, but began to release mist more than a meter away from the box.
"Sure." Bai Jinli followed Lou Su closely.
After the two entered the black fog, various desperate scenes began to emerge in their minds.
Bai Jinli already had a splitting headache, and after this, he simply could not bear it any longer. He covered his head and knelt down on one knee, while the scene of his parents being bitten to death by the infected flashed through his mind again and again.
Lou Su wanted to turn around and help Bai Jinli, but the scene of Chu Xihen's death was flashing in his mind. At the same time, he also noticed that the ground was shaking violently, as if the scene in front of him was about to shatter.
So he ignored Bai Jinli, and endured the great discomfort, forced his way through the black mist and walked to the front of the box. Using the last bit of time, he swung out a wind blade and cut the box into pieces.
The moment the box broke, something fell out of it. Lou Su only had time to take a quick look before he fell into darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Bai Jinli's pale face, and he and she were hugging each other again.
This time Bai Jinli was unconscious and couldn't roll out of his arms in time, but he let go of her and stood up immediately.
Then a mutant yellow cow rushed up, and he raised his hand and used a wind blade to cut the yellow cow into several pieces.
Hao Ren ran over breathlessly, "Lou Su, are you okay? Is Bai Jinli frightened?"
Lou Su's mind was in a mess, but he also knew that they were back to the time when they first entered the dungeon. It might be that Bai Jinli's mental power was exhausted, and they came out directly from his [Floating Dream of Life].
"He's lost consciousness due to exhaustion. Please help him, Mr. Hao." Because what happened just now was too chaotic and Lou Su's condition was also very bad, he could only ask Hao Ren for help.
"Okay, when you just awaken your superpowers it's very easy to exhaust your mental energy and then fall into a coma..." Hao Ren said as he helped Bai Jinli up, then called the rest of the people and prepared to find a place to rest.
Lou Su followed the team with a heavy heart, his mind full of the scene he saw before his [Dream of Life] was shattered...
