"Father God..."
"Father God..."
"Um?"
Li Liang woke up from his trance and found Jung standing bowed in front of him.
came back?
He raised his right hand in front of his eyes and slowly closed his eyes.
I saw the mighty spirit moving back and forth with the double-ring ring as the center, like an angel spreading its wings, forming a dazzling magic ring.
As soon as a spell came from the bottom of his heart, the corresponding magic was ready to come out. The power from the gods was regained, and he became a "celestial spirit" again.
After a moment of adaptation, Li Liang opened his eyes and looked around. There were shadows in the darkness, and countless light beams were shooting around. There was a cliff not far away, and a searchlight was set up on the edge of the cliff, shining straight down.
He remembers this scene...
In the illusion, Fan Yazi implanted a "kick" script into the game in order to wake him up. The time when it started running was when he "awoke".
The "kick" script changed the original plot of the game and guided him all the way to the "only great jar", suffered a "jump scare" when facing his other self, and successfully "disconnected" when his mentality changed drastically.
Turning around, he saw that there was indeed a stone protruding from the ground nearby. The difference was that last time he fell asleep while sitting there, but this time he was only temporarily absent-minded.
Thinking back on the process of getting here, from arriving at the Rift Camp, experiencing the earthquake, loss of contact, the strange images of the Fourth Company Headquarters, the narrow "Tunnel No. 1", the terrace-like "Cave No. 4", "Cave No. 7", until At this "Stone Forest Landslide" cliff, he found that his memory was trivial. Only by deliberately recalling could he remember some details. Unlike last time, the memories poured into his mind like a tide and became clear in an instant.
Taking a deep breath, the air filled in the closed helmet was dry and cold when inhaled into the nasal cavity, smelling of chemicals. At the same time, the chill came through the Scout's standard tactical armor, and was neutralized by the warmth radiated from the armor lining.
Extremely true.
However, the experience in the "Illusion" was rooted in his mind like a virus. He could no longer distinguish between reality and fiction. He was unable to determine whether this sense of reality came from the BIC technology of the "Tianling" game, or whether it represented his true return to the real world.
However, before the final trial of "Li Shuang", he spent a whole night pondering Tian Di's "parting words", combined with the details in the fantasy, and finally came to a conclusion - maybe he had guessed wrong from the beginning, and the person who caused all this was not Not a time observer, but another "thing".
Because of this, he did not go to the court hearing, but chose to stay in the company. Later, Yan Hao failed in the ambush and his head was cut off. However, Fan Yazi and Tang Xintao came back and allowed him to reconnect to the host.
Next, he will follow the trend until he personally faces that "thing" to verify his guess.
At this time, Jung spoke again: "Father God, the route has been determined and we can set off."
"good."
Li Liang walked straight to the searchlight. Under the cliff was still a slope with an angle of nearly 60 degrees. The surface was rugged, with large and small stone pillars standing there. A path composed of beacons zigzagged downwards among the stone forest.
He hung the buckle around his waist on the alloy rope and slipped into the darkness without hesitation.
——————————
The process of crossing the "Stone Forest Slope" was as easy as "last time", and the route forward and the atmosphere of the entire team were also the same.
There are also traces of carvings on the stone pillars he passes along the way. Li Liang can often "predict" the pattern on the next stone pillar, just like a game player who has watched the "clearance video" in advance.
Five hours later, the team arrived at the cave where the dungeon was located and stepped into the vast underground world.
After giving the order to rest on the spot, Li Liang climbed onto a huge rock alone and looked far into the distance.
There is also a hazy light at the end of the boundless darkness, but the brightness is obviously different from "last time". It seems to be the halo emitted by some kind of natural fluorescent mineral.
He turned to look to the right. A few seconds later, a communications soldier climbed up from the edge of the rock, put down the signal transmitter on his back, and began to debug the equipment.
"Last time" it was this signal soldier who accidentally contacted the underground city camp and called a special service ship. However, this time, the signal device flashed for a long time and no response was received.
Obviously, the "plot" has changed, but he knows that this change still proves nothing. It may be reality, or it may just be the "original plot" that is different from the "kick" script.
"Keep going."
——————————
Although there was no spaceship to respond this time, the team was still moving very fast. Three hours later, they were already in the hinterland of the underground world.
The mountains here are undulating and ravines are criss-crossed. Under the influence of extremely high gravity, the mountains present sharp-edged geometric shapes. From time to time, strong argon airflow passes through the sharp canyon cliffs, making a sharp whistle.
Following the guidance of the beacon left by the Fourth Reconnaissance Company, the commandos advanced in a triangular formation. Jin Ji took the lead and was always at the front of the formation. Jung, who was wide and fat, did not show any signs of fatigue. However, Li Liang, who was in the center of the formation, His physical strength was exhausted, but fortunately the tactical outer armor had "motor enhancement assistance", otherwise he would have to consume "precious" spiritual reserves to keep up.
】
As he went deeper, whenever the team rested, he would summon the portal to climb up and look out, and gradually discovered that he encountered more and more "human creations" along the way. Even though most of them had long since collapsed and broken, he could still see the general outline, including walls and trails. , columns, steps, even the Egyptian pyramids, the Roman Colosseum, etc. Occasionally, the remains of large sculptures are scattered among the ruins. The craftsmanship is simple but the appearance is close to humans and animals on earth.
It seems that in the extremely distant past, a human being visited the Gaias Stoll universe and stayed deep underground for many years. This person has advanced science and technology, or has strong personal power, enough to play with giant rocks like building blocks, but has no art foundation at all and can only build based on Mohu's memory.
However, these incredible features did not attract the attention of others in the team. The sporadic exchanges coming out of the communication channel all revealed a sense of anxiety. They were eager to know what happened in the dungeon camp.
So after the sixth rest, Li Liang decided not to begrudge the spirit in the double ring, and summoned the portal to go at full speed.
——————————
After experiencing the terrifying "Argon Storm" and losing seven team members one after another, the commando team finally crossed the narrow mountain pass and entered the giant basin where the underground city camp was located.
Li Liang remembered that in the "kick" script, when he flew closer on a special service ship, he saw dozens of large fortresses located in the center of an ancient ruins from a distance. The lighting equipment erected by humans made the entire basin brightly lit.
However, at this moment, there was only dark mist in front of us. The engineers in the team said that it was magnetic metal dust suspended in the air.
When the team found the underground city camp along the densely arranged beacons, three days had passed since they descended underground.
The advance army camp code-named "Lao Lair" was filled with deathly silence. Surrounded by the only two forts, more than a dozen engineering vehicles, armed pontoons and single-man anti-gravity aircraft were parked quietly.
There was no light coming out of the observation windows on the sides of the two fortresses, so Jin Ji ordered the doors to be violently broken open. Soon, a hole appeared in the air-tight door for two people to enter and exit side by side, but no gas leaked out.
The camp's power system had stopped working long ago, and the inside of the fortress had lost temperature and pressure.
After all, the "lair" is the camp of the advance army. Jung personally led several commandos into the fortress. A few minutes later, the communication channel sounded the deep voice of the commander of the advance army: "Father, I'm afraid all my people are dead." .”
Li Liang entered the fortress, walked through the corridor, and walked into a space of less than 100 square meters.
Judging from the layout, this is a command hall. Under the loss of temperature and pressure, the air freezes into a solid state, and the materials and various equipment piled everywhere are covered with a thick layer of white powder.
There is a touch of dazzling dark red among the white snow.
He quickly approached and found that it was a pool of frozen blood.
"The back of the head is broken." Jin Ji leaned over and pulled out a few strands of hair. "Where is the body?"
Jung's voice was filled with suppressed anger: "Not found."
At this time, the commander of the third reconnaissance company in the team picked up a badge from the ground and said in a trembling voice: "This is Chuck's badge, and the person who died is Chuck."
"Are you sure?" Jin Ji asked sharply.
"Sure, 'Temple Guard Medallion', Chuck keeps it pinned to his cabin suit."
"Chuck died here..." Jung let out a weird laugh, "So, who was that person before?"
When they descended underground, they received a communication request from the underground city camp at the fourth company headquarters. After connecting, the person on the opposite side was Chuck, but the response he gave was extremely strange, not like a living person.
Li Liang not only remembered the name, but also met Chuck in the "kick" script.
The "plot" at this moment was also completely different from his experience in the "kick" script. Looking down at the large blood stains on the ground, he remembered the "original plot" told by Fan Yazi:
"... During the process of heading to the dungeon, the people in the team were controlled by mysterious forces one after another. However, players can use the 'peeping' magic to distinguish the authenticity..."
"Peeping" - the abundant essence, the path of profoundness, the unique magic under the spell language system of the fifth Sephiroth Archangel 'Asmodei'.
He did master the magic.
Taking Jung as the target of the spell, he sensed the meaning of chaos and silently recited a long spell. For a moment, a rustling murmur sounded in his ears, which sounded like countless Jungs mumbling at the same time.
However, when the spell ended, all the sounds did not converge into words to interpret Jung's changing thoughts, but turned into a piece of white noise.
"Zi————————"
Li Liang clearly remembered that this white noise meant that the target of the spell was not an intelligent life.
He quietly turned his head to look. The closed helmet covered Jung's face, and in the communication channel, Jung's voice was barking out search orders one after another, which sounded normal.
Casting "Peeping" again, his cast target became Jin Ji.
"Zi————————"
Continue to switch targets.
"Zi————————"
ten minutes later.
Li Liang looked around and realized that at some point, everyone in the team had turned into "non-intelligent beings".
Some force turned them into zombies, and all the voices in the communication channels were fake from beginning to end.
At this moment, he didn't feel any shock or uneasiness, he just felt...
Hey, this plot is interesting.
