Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 920: Corpse

Views:

Behind that reddish-brown wooden door is a spacious hall that takes up all the space.

The entire tower was not layered, and Shang Jianyao, who was standing at the door, looked up and could directly see the dome rising to the sky.

There were large holes in the surrounding walls, inlaid with glass, forming rows of windows.

They stretched from bottom to top, all the way to the vicinity of the dome, and they were all illuminated by flickering lights, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge darkness, and in the depths of the darkness, countless brilliance looms and alternates constantly.

They shone through the darkness, and when they shone on the windows, they became lights.

At this moment, the darkness was like a heart, constantly expanding and contracting, and clumps of shimmering air flowed out from it, hitting the wall, flying to the dome, or hitting the ground.

Each impact of these air currents set off a violent tremor of the earth, bringing out a violent hurricane, as if it were the source of the turmoil.

At this moment, a low and vague voice sounded in the ears of Shang Jianyao, Liu Chuan, Flora and others:

"Go, go to that dark place, just destroy it, and you can return to the ashes and be free.

"Go, go to that dark place, just destroy it and you can return to the ashes and be free..."

This voice was repeated in the minds of Shang Jianyao and the others, which made their beliefs increase rapidly, so that they no longer had any hesitation, they passed through the door one after another, entered the hall, and walked into the darkness.

Before their eyes, the brilliance flickered, the air flowed, and the darkness expanded and contracted, giving people a sense of dream that was not real enough.

One step, two steps, three steps, suddenly, a shimmering stream of light gushing out from the darkness hit the tower wall, but did not collapse directly, but bounced back to the "New World" powerhouse who was carrying Flora.

The two couldn't react in time, and it was difficult to avoid them. They could only hurriedly prop up a wall of air with the ability to "interfere with matter".

The shimmering air flow silently penetrated the air wall and hit Flora and the "New World" powerhouse who was carrying her.

The bodies of the two suddenly blurred, and their expressions instantly became extremely frightened, almost contorted.

In the blink of an eye, the air flow dissipated, and even Flora and the "New World" powerhouse turned into foam, which shattered when touched in the wind, leaving no trace.

The human consciousness of the two was extinguished.

When Liu Chuan, Barnard and others saw this scene, they were all shocked, and their expressions changed significantly.

"No!" Shang Jianyao's right hand grabbed twice in the air.

He tried to rescue but could not come.

Compared with the "New World" powerhouse who was ignited by the light fragments, Flora, who is known for her kindness and friendliness, and who is more familiar with everyone, collapsed directly under the impact of the airflow and dissipated on the spot, causing damage to Barnard, Liu Chuan and others. The vibration is stronger.

All of a sudden, they all had uncontrollable sadness and panic.

Flora, who was very powerful and had a high IQ, died like this...

When they looked at the huge darkness again, their eyes were different, and they brought deep doubts:

Why should we approach it

Even if it is really the key to leaving, how can we destroy it when we don't know anything

Will it bring disaster to us

Including Shang Jianyao, the remaining "New World" powerhouses unconsciously slowed down, getting slower and slower.

The door made of metal opened in front of Jiang Baimian's eyes.

A white painted wooden wall separates the entry area from the rear space in the front.

In front of the wooden wall is a table with a unique shape like a spindle, which seems to be prepared for the receptionist.

Jiang Baimian walked over slowly and looked at the surface of the table.

There were no brochures, no business cards, and it was so empty that there was no dust.

No, not as if, Jiang Baimian reached out and touched it, making sure that it was as clean as if it had just been cleaned.

"Is it the dust removal effect caused by the disturbance of the electromagnetic environment here, or is there an 'unintentional person' responsible for cleaning up every day?" Jiang Baimian muttered to himself silently.

She no longer looked at the various gauges displayed on the mask of the military exoskeleton device, and their pointers were as messy as if they were possessed by a businessman.

Going around the white wooden wall, the space behind opened up.

However, according to Jiang Baimian's visual observation, the light-colored hall in front of her only took up one-tenth of the ground floor space of the whirlpool-shaped building, and it might be less than that.

After all, the building has only a few floors and is mainly developed horizontally.

Looking at the seven or eight sets of sofas placed at random, Jiang Baimian judged that this should be a waiting area or a rest area.

At this time, there was a corpse in a black uniform sitting on a sofa, which had turned into bones.

In addition to it, there are nearly ten bones here, all wearing the same black uniform, with weapons such as submachine guns falling beside them.

Most of them were at the end of the "waiting area," where the silver-grey metal gate was half-opened in a side-sliding fashion.

The rest of the corpses were concentrated in the place where they entered the "waiting area", that is, next to the white wooden wall, in front of Jiang Baimian.

Relying on his rich knowledge of the old world, Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said to himself in his heart:

"Security personnel?"

Those corpses in black uniforms really look like a team of security personnel who were in charge of the entrance area of this special building during their lifetime.

Then another term flashed in Jiang Baimian's mind:

"Second Study Area".

In the office of the Dean of the Eighth Research Institute, the principal Du Heng once signed a document to transform the second research area.

Are you building a ladder to the "God Forbidden Area" here? Jiang Baimian did not rush in, squatted down, and checked the bones of the three suspected security personnel in the research area in front of him.

She glanced around and found a bag of items on the round coffee table on the sofa next to her.

The packaging bag of the item is made of hard brown-yellow kraft paper, with a cute little bear printed on it.

Jiang Baimian moved in his heart, kept his posture on one knee, and reached out to take the bag of items.

The packaging bag has already been opened, and there are pieces of tempting biscuits inside, and there is no sign of damp or moldy.

Jiang Baimian looked at the bag of biscuits, frowned and whispered:

"Bear Cookies?"

When it comes to bear biscuits, her most recent impression comes from Konimeth.

In the residence of the stubborn son named Brooklyn Garland in Corning Meath, there is a bag of bear biscuits produced in the 37th year of the new calendar next to the ink bottle on the desk.

At that time, Jiang Baimian, who heard Shang Jianyao's report, was quite puzzled, because Koningmis's situation was not luxurious enough to maintain a production line of bear biscuits.

And Shang Jianyao thinks that this may be the childhood memory of Zhisui's son. As the savior, he has the privilege to be small and capricious.

Therefore, in the depths of this real "new world", in the vortex-shaped building with the most disordered electromagnetic environment, Jiang Baimian was a little surprised when he found such a bag of bear biscuits.

She temporarily put down the bag of bear biscuits and checked the three white human bones in front of her.

On the right chest of their black uniforms, there is a metal-backed black nameplate on which the identity and name of the deceased are written in golden gray text:

"Security Personnel: Gilbert Simmons"

"Security Personnel: Fei Yingwu"

"Security Personnel: Winster Garland"

Winster Garland... Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved, and his eyes instantly solidified.

"New World", in the tower, Shang Jianyao and others stopped.

The low and vague voice sounded in their ears again:

"Now is the time when the darkness is at its most fragile, and it is about to disintegrate itself.

"You just have to go over there, combine your forces, give it a fatal blow, and the problem will be solved.

"Don't worry, I will help you."

This voice kept reverberating in the minds of Liu Chuan, Barnard, and others, dissipating most of their hesitation.

"Yeah, that dark state doesn't look right."

"The turmoil began and will end with this..."

"It's like a castle on the beach now, it just needs a push from us and it will collapse."

"… "

During the ups and downs of similar thoughts, Barnard and the others took another step forward.

"Wait a moment!"

Shang Jianyao, who was walking the fastest, suddenly shouted.
