After being swallowed by the silvery slime, Lu Ning clearly felt his consciousness being pulled by a rather powerful force.
This force wanted to pull his consciousness out of his body.
Lu Ning frowned, his consciousness gradually returning, and he discovered a silver spider silk in front of him, which connected to the dark void.
He reached out and snapped the spider silk, and the pulling force vanished instantly.
As the spider silk snapped, Lu Ning slowly opened his eyes and found himself no longer in the base city, but in a dark and deep corridor.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with images that resemble flowing film reels.
Silvery slime occasionally seeped out from the ground.
Lu Ning looked around and found that Colin and the others had disappeared.
He paused for a moment, then began to observe the film reels on the wall.
It seems to be showing the life of a man.
从出生，到第一次走路，到被父母胖揍，到上学，谈恋爱……
Lu Ning walked in the direction of the film roll, watching the images change within it.
He watched the man grow up, get married, start a family, and have his own children.
The final scene shows the man's daughter in a coma, while he and his wife stay with her at the hospital waiting for treatment.
Then the man saw silver mist rising from the ground and silvery slime seeping from the building walls.
The video then stopped.
Lu Ning watched as the last silver mist emerged from the ground, and silver slime overflowed from the buildings.
This is... this man's memory?
In Lu Ning's view, this film-like scene did not contain any spiritual pollution.
If this is a human male's memory, then the problem ultimately lies with the base city.
Lu Ning frowned slightly.
If that's the case, then it's probably related to the mutations that occurred after the three mutated nodes were found.
Lu Ning continued walking.
Beyond this roll of film, new rolls of film appeared.
This time, it's a woman's memory.
Lu Ning reviewed his memories while pondering.
That node anomaly seems to have caused the collapse of the entire base city in the dream dimension, turning it into the corridor we see now?
Looking ahead, Lu Ning saw only the flickering fluorescence on the film reel; the area ahead was pitch black and deep.
Furthermore, the collapse of the base city in the dream dimension may have also affected the base city in the real dimension.
A glint flashed in Lu Ning's eyes.
Previously, Bai Jingming and his companions were wondering why no members of the Mind Cult came to stop them.
Now it seems that this is probably what they wanted.
So... what exactly is this place?
Just then, Lu Ning suddenly stopped.
He discovered that this volume of memories seemed different from the previous ones.
When Lu Ning reached the end of the film, the same scene appeared: silver mist on the ground and silver slime on the walls of the base city.
But then more scenes gradually appeared.
The young woman appeared on a vast grassland.
On the grassland, besides the woman, there was also a very handsome man.
The woman ran towards the man with a bright smile, her mouth opening and closing.
Although he couldn't hear the sounds on the screen, Lu Ning could still understand that the woman must be very happy.
However, just as she was about to approach the handsome man, his body suddenly twisted and transformed into a giant spider.
The woman's smile froze instantly, followed by extreme fear.
The spider spit out silver threads, pulling her over. It opened its blood-red maw and bit off the woman's head, gushing out silvery mucus.
As the woman's head shattered, the entire film reel shook before disintegrating from the last reel forward.
Lu Ning followed the disintegrating film reel back, and then he saw that the film reel had returned to its original state.
From the moment the girl was born, everything seemed to start all over again.
Lu Ning quickly noticed the difference.
The film has become much dimmer than before.
Clearly, the previous death had damaged the woman's mental strength.
Lu Ning calmly followed the film reel, watching the woman's life trajectory repeat itself once again.
Soon, Lu Ning saw the woman reappear on the endless grassland, followed by the incomparably handsome man.
Lu Ning looked at the scene thoughtfully.
He then reached out and touched the image on the wall.
The wall rippled slightly, and Lu Ning's hand actually reached into the image.
He thought for a moment, then stepped inside.
The next moment, Lu Ning seemed to pass through a special barrier.
He appeared on an endless grassland.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the scent of fresh grass; everything felt so real.
Even Lu Ning's own perception kept telling him that this was the real world.
However, Lu Ning's will remained unchanged; he understood that everything was an illusion.
His gaze swept across the room and he saw the young woman ahead, who was running towards the handsome man with a big smile on her face.
"My prince, are you waiting for me?"
Lu Ning looked confused. Was this man a prince?
However, it seems that there were no nobles like princes in the Age of Mist.
While Lu Ning was confused, the handsome man's body twisted and his skin tore apart, transforming into a giant spider amidst a spray of silvery slime.
The young woman screamed in terror and backed away.
Just as the spider was about to grab the young woman, a flash of sword light appeared, and the spider was instantly split in two.
The young woman's terrified screams stopped abruptly.
