Under the thick darkness of the night, a woman in a white coat was squatting beside the box and rummaging through it.
Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and the robot hand on her left limb made a "click" sound. This was none other than the mad scientist transformed into a half-cyborg, Isabella.
As for her carving pen and a bucket of animal blood, she threw them aside. It seemed that the activity of carving the altar had nothing to do with her.
She raised her hand, and the hand covered with cyan veins held a silver-white mechanical ball. While spinning the mechanical ball, her eyes seemed to have no room for anything else.
"There is such a prop in the box... It's perfect." She said, standing up unsteadily and walking towards the low wall next to her, wanting to go through more boxes.
Her hands seemed to be glued to the box, and she didn't want to touch the altar at all.
As she approached a low wall, she suddenly saw a line of blood-red text.
This line of text slowly appeared in front of her eyes, like a warning.
[Su Mingan... did not... get five times the strength...]
【I am...Iyuki Junko...】
Looking at this line of words, she tilted her head and said softly "Huh".
"Did Iyuki Junko leave a mark before she died?" She said, "It was actually a time-lapse display. She was also a smart person."
Isabella raised her hand, with a black lamb mark on it. In that mark is attached the skill of long-distance communication.
"Then." She dialed the communications of other Black Lamb players: "...let's reverse the situation."
…
Su Mingan went to the central altar, and after placing the three stones, the altar began to glow.
He was waiting on the altar when he suddenly saw a figure jumping around not far away.
Through the bloody vision, he saw that it was a woman holding a feather fan. When she met his gaze, she took a step back in fright, turned around and wanted to run away.
But when she found no sign of him catching up, she took a few more steps back and forth, as if she was testing him again and again.
"What is this person doing?" Xiber looked at this woman who seemed to be tap dancing, feeling slightly speechless.
"...Maybe she's trying to sneak away." Su Mingan said.
After all, provoking the number one player in front of the whole world seems to be very rewarding.
He watched as the woman pulled out another stick.
There was a crisp "click" sound, the switch was turned on, and it was a glowing flashlight.
She turned on the flashlight and illuminated Su Ming'an who was standing on the altar. She repeatedly tested it while shining the light, and the flashlight turned on and off, making a clicking sound.
She adjusted the brightness to a high level, like a small searchlight, illuminating the low wall like daylight. The light flickered on and off, like a lighting artist in the dark night.
"...What are you doing?" Siboer was puzzled by the behavior of the flashlight man.
"Ignore it."
Su Mingan directly withdrew his gaze and ignored the woman who was jumping around repeatedly. The abandoned altar seemed to be activated, and he had no time to deal with her.
"Click."
Margaret turned off the flashlight, frustrated.
She originally wanted to test the strength of this flashlight prop to see if it could blind the ghost of Jiu Shen, but the other party ignored her at all.
"Ahem..." She lowered her head and began to cough violently. Her throat had been itchy for a long time.
The guide reminded her in a low voice that she could no longer be exposed to the black mist. She glanced at her sanity level, which had dropped to 50, and said nothing.
There were almost no airtight rooms in this festival, and even the doors were open. She couldn't hide, so she could only endure it.
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, suppressed the sound of coughing, and approached the central altar along the low wall, slightly sticking her head out——
Under the silent night, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and the twisted shadows wandered on the soil, like ghosts unwilling to die.
On the abandoned altar covered with dust and blood-colored patterns, the black-haired young man was standing there. Beside him, the girl in red robe was holding a soul stone. The faint light emitted was like a small sun at night, dispelling the darkness around him.
Their figures looked bright and beautiful. They stood upright in the night, with their backs straight and their shadows stretched very long. It was completely different from Margaret who was lying in the mud like a dog and still coughing.
At this moment, Margaret even felt that she was the ghost of the Nine Gods who needed to be excluded. And the two people on the altar are the gods under the sun.
Beside her, Tong Anan's face was also flushed. None of them had soul stones. After being in this polluted environment for a long time, their sanity levels had dropped below 50.
[Wait a minute, there seems to be movement on that abandoned altar...] Tong Anan said.
In their astonished sight, the altar with three stone slabs suddenly shone brightly, enveloping Su Ming'an and Xi Boer.
…
After the teleportation light dissipated, Su Mingan saw a dark space.
"Where is this?" Siboer saw only darkness. There is endless darkness all around, as if you are in the deep sea, and you can see nothing but black.
Su Mingan took steps, but it was very difficult. The ground was very similar to a swamp. Every step he took seemed like sticky mud pulling on his calves.
Xiboer moved her legs and almost fell forward without her head. The resistance of this action was a bit too much for her.
Su Mingan looked at the task prompt again, but there was no relevant content in the prompt.
He glanced at Sibur, who was walking very hard. The black mud on the ground had almost covered her thighs, and she couldn't even move her legs.
"Come up." Su Mingan turned sideways and motioned for her to come up. He planned to take a walk here first. After all, after being teleported in, he didn't know how to get out. This should be a hidden copy space.
"Then please." Siboer did not show off, but simply put the shotgun behind her back, stretched out her hands, put them on his shoulders, and forcefully——
With a "crash" sound, Su Mingan pulled her out of the black mud. The scene was extremely gratifying, like pulling out a carrot, and it was still a red carrot.
After carrying Xiboer on his back, he realized that she was very light. She was obviously not very powerful in the shadow state, but he felt as if there was nothing on his back, as if there was a light feather on his back.
...This was too malnourished. He didn't expect her to be so light.
"The soul stone won't light up when it gets here." Siboer said lying on his back.
"fine."
"It's too dark here, we need light. You don't have extra hands to get the flashlight, so I'd better get down... Although I can't walk, I can barely roll over if I roll."
"You are so tall, if you roll down, you won't even be able to find your head."
"..." Siboer said nothing, but her favorability level inexplicably increased by five points. Even Su Ming'an didn't know what was going on in her brain.
…
[NPC (Siboer) favorability: 45+5]
…
Su Mingan took steps forward.
It was almost impossible to see anything in the pure black space of Gu. He raised his head and suddenly shouted:
"Adu."
Siboer was slightly startled.
...A Du? Who shouted?
The next moment, she saw a dazzling light suddenly light up on Su Ming'an's left wrist, and a voice that matched a human voice and a mechanical voice sounded:
"Good morning! Dear Ming'an--! Watch Adu provides you with the best lighting on the front line. If you need it, tens of thousands of song inventory and poetry selections have been updated here. And, according to Professor Xu According to your previous request, I have loaded new gameplay methods such as Snake and Spider Solitaire for you..."
"The first order is to change the name, Su Ming'an." Su Ming'an said immediately.
"...Good morning, Su Mingan..." The voice of the watch sounded a little aggrieved.
"Second order, shut up." Su Mingan said.
There was silence.
A stable light source shone quietly on the wrist, and the watch made no sound.
Su Ming'an continued to move forward, and he saw that the darkness around him was vaguely twisting, like the air covered by boiling water vapor, or like oil painting paper smeared by big hands, and there was a layer of strange rhythmic fluctuations in his field of vision.
There seemed to be a nauseous feeling lingering from every part of his body. He walked in the darkness extremely uncomfortably, and a dank feeling surrounded him.
"It's so sad..." Siboer lowered his head and retched a few times: "There is nothing here except this twisted black shadow. It's so uncomfortable to see. I feel dizzy... I feel like a curse on my body is on the verge of breaking out. .”
Su Mingan frowned slightly.
He had noticed the anomalies in this space. These darkness reminded him of the curse that was like a living creature that was blocked from the sky barrier.
After just a few minutes of walking in the boundless darkness, his sanity score, which had always been relatively stable, began to decline steadily, and it had dropped to 76 at this time.
"Bang!"
As he was walking, he was hit on the head. This time the impact was a bit firm, the thing in front of him was very hard, and he felt like he had hit a wall.
He raised his head, and there was still darkness in front of him, but when he put down Sibor and stretched out his hand to touch it, he discovered that there seemed to be a barrier like a barrier in front of him.
This barrier was invisible to the naked eye, and he only discovered it when he touched it.
They seemed to be in a dark space closed by a barrier, with barriers surrounding them.
"Do you know where this is?" Sibor asked, "How are we going to get out?"
Su Mingan's hand stayed on the barrier in front of him for a moment.
"We are..." Su Ming'an had already guessed where they were teleported to: "...the black wall."
Siboer's eyes widened slightly.
She looked around, a little surprised.
They were teleported into...the black wall that separated the dome from the outside world?
"The three stone slabs I just placed should be related to the authority of the black lamb. The black lamb represents 'blessing.'" Su Ming'an said: "So...'blessing' means barrier. It is this authority. , allowing the Baishen to turn into a barrier to block the sky's curse, and this black wall should also be related to the power of 'blessing', so we were teleported here."
"Is there a way to overturn it?" Siboer's voice was trembling.
She couldn't imagine that the black wall she had been trying to approach appeared in front of her on the third day of the war. In fact, they are still inside the black wall and may have a chance to break through it.
"Don't worry, first of all, we need to judge. After the barrier in front of me is broken, will it be in the dome... or the outside world?" Su Mingan said: "Is this black wall in front of us going to the world? Inward or outward, that’s the key.”
"Ding dong!"
He heard the system prompts.
…

[(Black Wall): Human beings know that their knowledge is limited, but they are still afraid of the unknown.

And luckily for you, you are now in the black wall surrounding the dome. As an outsider, you have the opportunity to change everyone's destiny and 'boundaries'.
However, do you have the courage and ability... to break this 'boundary'? 】
…
After browsing the clue description, Su Mingan's hand lit up with a cross of light in space.
Since he had previously learned the Space Mystery of Kaernaxi, he had a particularly useful passive at this time.
[Passive (Space Comprehension): When in contact with space creations such as enchantments, special spaces, and barriers, you can sense the direction of its energy flow and cause a certain degree of damage to it. The strength of this ability is closely related to your space skill level. Related. 】
…
He didn't know exactly how to comprehend this space, but the moment his hand touched the barrier, he could feel the fluidity undulating between the skin in his palm.
It seemed that what he held was not a solid barrier, but a slowly flowing stream. He could detect every tiny fluctuation hidden in it.
He stretched out his other hand and placed his hands on the barrier, feeling the abnormal feeling between the ripples in his palm.
Siboer stood aside and watched, silent. Her breathing was a little quick.
"Bang!"
Su Mingan suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on the right side of the barrier. Then, as if playing a music game, he struck several areas of the barrier with his palms in quick succession.
When he retracted his hand, a loud bang sounded in front of him.
"Wow--"
There was a sound like water splashing.
Xiboer watched in shock as the transparent barrier in front of her began to gradually appear cracks. She took a step back suddenly, her whole body trembling.
"Can you... break this black wall?" Her voice trembled: "Just with your strength?"
"Just?" Su Ming'an smiled: "Maybe with the help of Professor Kell Naxi."
"No, even if it's Kyle Naxi, she can't do any harm to this black wall." Her pupils tightened: "This is clearly the domain of God..."
"This is indeed the domain of God. Because this black wall has not been broken yet, I cannot completely break it. I should still need the help of the authority of the Black Lamb." Su Mingan raised his head: "Also, I am not sure whether this black wall is inward or outward. outward."
"Then how do you confirm?" Siboer said.
Su Mingan turned around and looked in the direction they were walking in. The bright light of the watch shone on him like a torch lit in the dark forest.
