Chapter 57 Next up is my turn
(The previous chapter has been revised. I stayed up all night writing it while I was still sleepy, but when I looked at it this morning, what garbage! It's wordy and lacks detail. Did I really write this? I'm questioning my life choices...)
Why should I run away?
The little girl tilted her head, seemingly puzzled.
Its pale, childlike face had black pupils filling its entire eye sockets, with not a trace of white visible, exuding a chilling and eerie aura.
"This is the world I created..."
"The world I created..."
The voice had a chilling, eerie quality.
"And what about your spiritual body?"
Yun Zhao suddenly spoke up, questioning it: "How did your spiritual body die?"
The abilities of goalkeeper number 88 are almost all related to mental strength.
It is clearly a mutated guide who, having lost its own spiritual body and become a mutant, developed a strong obsession.
Then, the No. 88 contaminated zone was born, structured around her mental world.
This is just Yun Zhao's guess.
Hopefully, the theoretical viewpoints put forward by that researcher surnamed Qi at the base may be correct.
The contaminated zone is the spiritual realm of the gatekeeper.
Both the key and the mutants desperately trying to enter the contaminated area are related to obsession.
Obsession... seems to be the only emotion that exists in the contaminated area.
"My spiritual body..."
A hint of madness flickered in the little girl's dark, empty eyes. "My spiritual body! My spiritual body!!!"
It suddenly stopped, its tilted head curving into a strange smile. "Ah, I remember now, it's here."
The words fell.
A black panther spirit, its body shrouded in murky black mist and its eyes glazed over, appeared out of nowhere beside it.
"Look... I also have a spiritual body..."
Its face appeared somewhat distorted, and its dark, empty eyeballs radiated a fanatical expression.
Yun Zhao calmly examined the black panther for a moment, then ruthlessly exposed its lie: "It is not your spiritual entity; it is Zhou Tianqi's spiritual entity."
"No!" The little girl stared intently at her, her obsession running deep, shaking her head desperately. "It's my spiritual entity, they're all my spiritual entities!!!"
they?
Since the creation of Contaminated Zone 88, more than one Sentinel has suffered over the years.
“The guide’s spiritual form doesn’t look like this.”
Yun Zhao raised her eyes and looked up at her large bluebird above her head.
The enormous body of the Azure Phoenix hovered in mid-air, with wisps of fluorescent light constantly emerging from beneath its wings, illuminating the surrounding dark abyss.
Sensing the original consciousness, the Great Bluebird's cold beast eyes revealed an extreme arrogance.
Yun Zhao spoke softly: "Look, this is my spiritual body. Do you remember what your spiritual body originally looked like?"
She wanted to figure out why the guide had become distorted.
Sentinels are unable to resist the invasion of dark matter, and it is not uncommon for them to be mutated into monsters, but as guides, they are born with the ability to clear away dark matter.
Perhaps understanding why its spiritual entity died will provide the answer.
The strange little girl was stunned.
Its spiritual entity...
The image of the little goat gradually appeared in its mind.
It was an extremely clingy little creature, a spiritual entity that could sense all of its own joys and sorrows, and would always protect it without hesitation...
It died; it was murdered.
The gatekeeper suddenly went berserk, lunging at the black panther and yelling, "Yes, it's not my spirit body, it's not my Mianmian! I'm going to kill it, and kill you all!"
The surrounding dark matter grew increasingly dense.
The already surging dark matter, as if injected with a violent force, rolled and surged like a raging tide, attacking the motionless black panther spirit.
The gatekeeper's attack carried a strong dark aura, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The surrounding bluish-green fluorescence surged.
Instantly, a barrier formed in front of the black panther, blocking the fatal blow.
The powerful shockwave spread outwards, scattering the surrounding dark matter.
"So, because it died, you lost your guiding abilities and then mutated into what you are now?"
Yun Zhao understood everything.
Guides and sentinels are the same as those who have lost their spiritual essence.
Because of the death of her spiritual body, her spiritual realm collapsed, and she lost the ability to resist dark matter, transforming into a monster.
But after becoming a gatekeeper, she regained her guiding abilities.
However, because the spiritual body is too special, even the gatekeeper who controls the entire domain cannot conjure up his own spiritual body.
The deceased spirit became its intense obsession.
It began to attempt to strip away the sentinel spirits of all those who entered Zone 88 of its contamination.
Yun Zhao asked again, "Where did you learn mental traction from?"
The gatekeeper had lost his mind and couldn't hear what she was saying at all. His dark, terrifying pupils were fixed on her, and he suddenly launched an attack.
In the realm of the mind, it can create any scene it desires at will.
The surroundings suddenly changed again.
The ground is collapsing inch by inch.
The dark abyss turned into a vast ocean.
Many aquatic creatures swam by in the water, and patches of black, fine seaweed suddenly lunged forward, trying to drag her to the bottom of the sea.
Being physically inactive, she not only couldn't drive, use weapons, or swim.
No wonder the gatekeeper was not afraid of her at all, even though he knew she had strong mental power.
It wanted to drown her...
What a pity.
Has the gatekeeper forgotten that her spiritual threads can already materialize?
As the abyss beneath their feet crumbled inch by inch.
The great bluebird, hovering in mid-air, spread its enormous wings to protect its body, and raised its head to let out a cry.
The dancing fluorescent lights seemed to consciously gather together, rapidly forming a bright circle that reached her feet, allowing her to stand steadily on the sea surface.
All the black lines that attacked her were blocked outside the barrier and quickly swallowed up by the fluorescent light.
"Is that all you're capable of?"
Yun Zhao raised his eyes and looked at it calmly. "Then, it's my turn next."
*
As the gatekeeper went mad, the entire contaminated zone outside, number 88, erupted in chaos.
Two people standing inside the bookstore.
Xie Tu witnessed the guide disappear from his arms.
His eyes were dark and his sharp gaze swept over the figures reading in the bookstore.
"team leader……"
Before Duan Xi could even speak, as if sensing something, he suddenly turned to the side, raised his gun, and fired at the figure walking towards them.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two bullets were fired, but the approaching figure easily dodged them.
The tall figure was exceptionally agile, closing in in the blink of an eye and attacking Duan Xi directly.
Duan Xi's expression changed drastically, "Sentinel mutant..."
As the name suggests.
They are sentinels that have been mutated into monsters.
They are more dangerous and difficult to deal with than ordinary mutants.
Without uttering a word, Xie Tu charged toward the shadow like an arrow released from a bow. The Tang sword in his right hand gleamed coldly as he swung it fiercely, engaging the Sentinel mutant in a fierce battle.
Several shadowy figures emanating black smoke suddenly jumped down from the second floor and surrounded Xie Tu and Duan Xituan.
Upon releasing their senses, they discovered that they were all Sentinel mutants!
Duan Xi immediately switched weapons, pulled out a knife from inside his backpack, and stomped off the ground with his hind leg to dodge the oncoming attack.
"I knew the mutants in the Illusion City were so weak! Turns out they were waiting for us here!"
