See, this is punishment!
If Luo Xin was here, he would definitely say this to Tang Ling.
It was indeed like punishment. At the same time that Tang Ling discovered that underground race, that underground race also discovered Tang Ling.
He made a weird grunting sound, spoke a weird language, and then waved his hand, and a large group of black-toothed rats rushed towards Tang Ling.
MD, Tang Ling cursed in his mind, then carried Daisy and continued running in the direction from where he came.
I hope his judgment is right, otherwise he will really die without a burial place.
Yes, he didn't carry Daisy and run rashly out of the town. Even though Daisy's home was on the northwest edge of the town, it was definitely closer to run out of the town than to return to Joshua's house and run out of the town again. Much more.
No matter how you look at it, all Tang Ling's actions seem stupid.
However, after Tang Ling settled on a certain idea, everything he did revolved around this idea, and he did not feel that his judgment was wrong.
In extremely difficult circumstances, Tang Ling carried Daisy and finally returned to the house where Joshua was.
At this time, this house has completely turned into a slaughterhouse.
Joshua's uncles and aunts, who were mean and stupid and had done many bad things, died tragically on the roof and the other in the courtyard.
In addition, the two self-righteous cousins met the same fate and died in the courtyard. It seems that the habits of the black-toothed rats have never changed, and they like to eat in groups in relatively wide areas.
Looking at these mutilated bodies, Tang Ling felt an indescribable emotion flowing in his heart.
Joshua's family was naturally hateful, but their sin did not lead to death.
What was cruel was that this night ruthlessly harvested their lives.
Looking at such a tragic situation and thinking about the fate that mankind is about to face, how can Tang Ling calm down
This night just happened again. Tang Ling couldn't stop anything at all, let alone how to stop it
Now, regardless of his strength and speed, he is like a superman in the eyes of pre-civilized humans, but doesn't it seem difficult for him to just save a Daisy
At this moment, Tang Ling seemed to be able to feel how powerless human beings were under the torrent of the times.
Unfortunately, there was no time to express any emotion, Tang Ling still needed to crack the formation.
The underground race not only commanded the black-toothed rats to entangle him, but also chased after him himself.
At this time, if his judgment was correct, Tang Ling's mind began to quickly recall the magic pattern on the stone tablet.
Then he turned around and ran towards the basement of the house.
No matter how unreasonable his current running direction is, he must follow the route guided by the formation pattern to have a chance of survival.
Fortunately, the formation patterns of this third level formation are actually relatively simple. Even if Tang Ling can only compare them at this stage, he can crack them very quickly.
Therefore, the basement is connected directly to the second outlet of the sewer pipe by a passage that Joshua quietly dug before.
These routes are like bullshit. They are not concise and effective at all for escaping. But the magical thing is that although there will be dangers, they can be successfully avoided. Even the underground race missed several captures by coincidence. Tang Ling's opportunity.
It was so magical. Although the whole process was an indescribable experience, it was during this kind of stumble that Tang Ling took Daisy and escaped all the way to the edge of the town, and even found a pickup truck parked here.
According to the prompts of the array pattern, this pickup truck is the end point.
But it's not over yet.
Tang Ling didn't waste any time and smashed the door of the pickup truck with his fist, and then got into the car with Daisy in his arms, but he didn't have the car key.
At this moment, a familiar old man's voice sounded in Tang Ling's ears, instructing him how to start the car without the key.
No wonder he wanted to learn how to repair. It turned out to be repairing cars. Tang Ling sighed as he could easily accomplish such a small task. He started the car smoothly and drove towards the distance along a road outside the town.
Daisy cried on Tang Ling's shoulder, but also held Tang Ling's hand tightly.
The night was still so dark, and the purple mist still hadn't dissipated, but everything seemed to be filled with a sense of hope.
hope? Tang Ling thought of this word, and suddenly a huge, indescribable sleepiness enveloped him.
"Welcome to the world of dreams, Joshua."
Dream? Dream seed? !
My guess was indeed correct! This was Tang Ling's last thought before he completely lost consciousness.
**
'Boom boom'.
A loud sound suddenly woke Tang Ling up. Tang Ling suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the stone tablet in front of him suddenly glowed with purple light, and then the entire stone tablet sank downwards.
Has it been cracked
Tang Ling's heart surged with excitement.
At the same time, an electronic sound sounded in the ground where the stele sank: "The person who triggered it has obtained permission. In ten minutes, everyone will wake up."
"Attention, please note that those with authority only have ten minutes to freely enter the House of Heritage. After ten minutes, the entrance will be closed again and the third level of the formation will be reset."
Luo Xin, Luo Li!
The two simple sentences of this electronic sound revealed too much information at once. Tang Ling reacted suddenly. He didn't even bother to take a look at the cracked formation, the so-called House of Inheritance, but ran frantically towards other places. go.
It turned out that after he triggered the formation, everyone fell into a deep sleep.
It turned out that after he cracked the third level formation, he only had ten minutes to enter the so-called House of Inheritance.
Correspondingly, the rest of the people who entered Ruin No. 9 will wake up after ten minutes.
Reset the third level formation? In other words, people in the future still have a chance to crack it? It's not what I expected.
Tang Ling was thinking while searching the entire town. He was very fast. In just three minutes, he had already found the sleeping Luo Li and Luo Xin. After all, the search was not without clues.
Even if Luo Xin plays a role in dragging down the Star Council, he will definitely lead them to the suspected starting point. This is true.
Therefore, following this clue, it is not difficult to find the Luo brothers and sisters.
After carrying Luo Xin on his back and Luo Li, Tang Ling looked at the sleeping members of the Star Council around him, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: "How about killing Long Qi now?"
But this idea was quickly dismissed by Tang Ling. He didn't know if he would wake up Long Qi if he did it.
After all, people at their level are very sensitive.
Tang Ling just hesitated for a moment and then gave up the idea, because the access was only allowed for ten minutes, and he really didn't want any accidents to happen.
If it weren't for this, Tang Ling would kill Long Qi now without hesitation.
**
Six minutes later.
Tang Ling returned to the small square with the Luo brothers and sisters.
In the small square at this time, the stone tablet had disappeared, revealing a cave with a faint purple moon.
That purple light was so familiar to Tang Ling, wasn't it the light emitted by the universal energy stone
Slightly nervous, Tang Ling led the Luo brothers and sisters as they approached the purple-lighting cave without being stopped.
Even closer, he was not stopped.
Then Tang Ling gritted his teeth and simply jumped into the cave with the Luo brothers and sisters.
Nothing happened, but the electronic voice came again: "The authorized person has entered the House of Heritage, and the entrance is closed."
"In three minutes, the third level formation will restart."
what's the situation? Tang Ling put down the Luo brothers and sisters and began to look at this so-called inheritance house impatiently.
A huge room, as big as a football field.
Its layout is full of the colors of pre-civilized Western homes, with striped wallpaper, comfortable fabric sofas, coffee tables, etc. In addition, this huge room is filled with all kinds of sundries.
Of course, among these miscellaneous things, there are also various good things that look like they belong to the Ziyue era, such as weapons, armor, and some dried ferocious plants.
Should be very precious? But now they are just left there haphazardly.
Tang Ling did not touch these things.
This is not because Tang Ling has become more polite, but as soon as he enters here, he can see a huge universal energy stone that cannot be ignored.
Of course, compared to the size of the Hope Barrier, it is only one-sixth the size of the Hope Barrier.
However, it glows with a gorgeous purple color, which is much thicker than the barrier of hope, and the energy fluctuations are much stronger.
Just a universal energy stone could not threaten Tang Ling.
But this universal energy stone was not ordinary. It was covered with various complex magic patterns, as well as magic symbols that Tang Ling didn't understand.
And it is hollow in the middle, taking out a space the size of a bedroom.
In this space, there is an instrument that looks very advanced, similar to a pre-civilized computer.
There are also various precious-looking things, such as the pen placed in front of the instrument. Tang Ling has never looked away from it since he saw it. He always felt that the pen should be very magical.
Of course, all the descriptions are not the key to restraining Tang Ling.
What really worried Tang Ling was that there was an illusory figure in front of the flashing instrument that looked very advanced.
This figure had his back to Tang Ling, but he was dressed like a magician from Western legends, wearing a pointed hat and a black robe similar to a bachelor's robe.
Even though it was just a shadow, Tang Ling could tell that whether it was the hat or the black robe, the unique luster of metal gave people an unusual feeling.
This feeling seemed familiar to Tang Ling.
He remembered the first time he saw Kun, the black robe on Kun's body was as if a piece of starlight had been cut out and sprinkled on the robe, making it shine.
Tang Ling came to the conclusion that he shouldn't be as senior as Kun.
At this moment, the phantom finally turned around and looked at Tang Ling.
He was a very old man. Even though his thick white beard covered most of his face, the exposed corners of his eyes and a small part of his forehead were covered with dense wrinkles.
"I have been dead for many years, but you can see the projection I left behind. It means that you have almost opened the highest authority of the House of Inheritance." The old man spoke, and the first sentence he said was that he had been dead for many years.
What happened to the projection left behind? Can you still answer questions? Tang Ling was full of questions now.
So, he tentatively spoke: "Are you a projection? Can you talk to me?"
"Of course. This brain retains a lot of my memories. It can also have a normal conversation with you by simulating my way of thinking."
"However, if your conversation exceeds the scope of my memory, I will not be able to answer you."
So advanced? Tang Ling felt it was simply breathtaking.
He was silent for a while and then asked directly: "Are you Joshua?"
"Exactly down there."
After confirming this, Tang Ling immediately asked the next question: "So, are you a dream seed?"
"You passed the third level formation perfectly. Then, you must have seen the 'Easter Egg' in the ending. Isn't the answer obvious?" The phantom smiled slightly.
Passed perfectly? It turned out that my guess was indeed right. The entire existence of Ruin No. 9 was a symbol of regret.
This answer was finally determined by Joshua's diary for Tang Ling.
Just imagine, this small town is completely preserved with formations, and the life scenes of the small town on a certain day are constantly restored.
That shows that the person who concocted all this has a special feeling for this town and this day in the town, and he can't let go of it for the rest of his life.
This kind of plot often cannot be explained by ordinary emotional sustenance. It must be very strong.
And often what makes people linger the most is regret.
At first, Tang Ling was not sure.
Since he entered Ruin No. 9 for many days, he has actually been observing to see if there is something extraordinary that has made the owner of this place regretful.
But everything is ordinary and couldn't be more ordinary.
It wasn't until he opened the diary that Tang Ling discovered that the diary filled with Daisy was the ultimate meaning of this town's existence.
So what is the regret? By this time, the answer was ready to come out.
Focusing on this answer, cracking the final third level formation is the ultimate cracking method.
"Daisy died, on the night you lived through. In fact, everyone in the town died except me."
"I have experienced two eras in my life, experienced countless dangers, experienced troughs, and experienced peaks. But after countless midnight dreams, my biggest wish is to be able to return to this night and escape with Daisy. "
"I often wonder, if I managed to escape with Daisy on this night, how much would my life change? Of course, this is just a fantasy."
"I am not willing to do this, so I condensed this wish into the third level of formation. Young man, you have read my mind perfectly."
"So, I almost gained the highest authority in the House of Heritage, right? Why just almost?" Tang Ling spread his hands in confusion. It seems that he took the risk and chose a difficult road to crack. Give back.
He was very curious, this is almost the highest authority, what kind of authority is it, can it take away everything here
