Stepping into the refrigerator, after a moment of weightlessness, the hazy psychedelic feeling disappeared, and the scene in front of me became completely clear and real.
The corridor that is not long leads to a hall. The walls on both sides are wrapped with wooden walls about one meter high, and there are many signs with portraits of people hanging on the top. It may be inappropriate to say that the characters may be inappropriate, and some pictures are drawn. something that cannot be called human at all.
Although he couldn't read the text, Dong Zheng could still intuitively guess that the name was written in big letters at the top, and the following was the life profile of this "person".
A library corridor.
The door they came out was at the other end of the corridor. It was half-open, and behind it was another hall. You could see the corner of the tall bookshelves, but the backstage of the coffee shop had completely disappeared, just like the entrance of the box when they entered. From the moment it really shuts down.
"Chaos Library?" As soon as Cui Zuojing entered here, he asked Dong Zheng to release him from the prisoner's space, the teenager frowned and muttered, "This time the labyrinth of time is opened by the library. ?"
"Chaos?" Dong Zheng repeated the word in a low voice, a word derived from the Greek word Khaos, which means chaos and disorder.
Victor walked at the front and turned his head: "The library has always been low-key and won't easily appear in people's sight. This time the labyrinth of time was called directly, so I must have encountered trouble."
Lin Hai is looking up at the sign on the wall. Although he can't read the text, the information conveyed by the image will not be hindered. The suit and leather shoes in front of him have the forehead of an octopus... Sir, the nose collapses only Two small holes, dozens of tentacles were born on the position of the upper lip, covering the mouth, and looking sideways at a point outside the camera.
If you ignore this curious appearance, it is indeed gentle and gentle like a famous scholar.
"This is very Cthulhu." He finally commented.
"You won't say that when you see it with your own eyes." Cui Zuojing said, three people and one cat walked towards the hall at the end of the corridor, and gradually heard noisy voices.
Sounds like a lot of people are there.
When they walked into the hall, Dong Zheng and Lin Hai were both shocked when they saw the crowd of people inside.
Why are there so many people here
I don't know why, many people who come to the pure white world will logically think that there will not be too many people in a box. Before coming in, Linhai, as a normal seventeen-year-old boy, likes to play games and read novels. In pursuit of thrills, he has also read a lot of infinitely streamed works from Point X, such as "Thriller Paradise", "Joker Game" and "Hell" "Cinema", and "Watching the Abyss" that has been 404... Basically, I have never seen such a large-scale copy.
Of course, it is also possible that he has read few books and is ignorant.
In the face of more than a thousand people, there are still a steady stream of people coming in from other corridors that connect the hall. After a brief period of confusion, Lin Hai touched Dong Zheng and whispered, "What are you doing? Are you going to have a meeting?"
"It looks like it." Dong Zheng was also unsure, "Let's find a place to sit first."
This hall really looks like a conference room, with dozens of rows of chairs like an amphitheater, slightly curved, surrounding the speaker's position on the high platform in front.
Just like when all the conferences were held in the student days, there was no one in the first few rows, and all of them were crowded behind, and the three of them could only sit in the empty seats at the edge of the middle and front rows.
Afraid of being stepped on by someone who is not careful, Victor jumped onto Cui Zuojing's knee and squatted on it and looked around. Everyone's faces were blank, and they discussed with their companions in a low voice. Those without companions could only look around.
But obviously, so many people have made everyone less nervous. A glass of water may be conspicuous and risk being drunk at any time, but when this glass of water merges into the same kind of ocean, it means another form of safety.
Anyway, if there is an accident, there are so many people carrying it together, and it may not be me, right
Cui Zuojing and Victor have long known that any box with the title of "Labyrinth of Time" is not too simple, and it is the most calm in the entire hall.
Dong Zheng asked in a low voice, "Do you know what this is for?"
Cui Zuojing: "There must be some trouble in the library, but the people here don't seem to be very experienced. It makes no sense for them to let the powerful pilgrims from other areas not, and they specially choose new people to come here."
Victor nodded: "So this is more likely to be a box with multiple areas open at the same time, but in this hall, all people are from the outer areas."
To be honest, Cui Zuojing and Victor's explanation didn't help, on the contrary, it made Dong Zheng and Linhai confused.
After Cui Zuojing ridiculed him for having no brains and not thinking for himself, Lin Hai learned to behave himself. Talk less and do things more carefully. If you meet someone you really don’t understand, ask my brother not to provoke that little brat.
He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was so crazy. Every time my brother came to teach him a lesson without saying anything, it was really annoying.
After another five or six minutes, no one came in in the corridor anymore. Most of the people found their seats and sat down. At a glance, there were thousands of people, and almost everyone was talking in a mess.
Just as the discussion was getting stronger, something suddenly fell from the ceiling.
Yes, it just fell. Dong Zheng, who was observing the environment of the hall, clearly saw the whole process of the humanoid creature with an octopus head suddenly penetrating the ceiling, leaking into the hall, and finally landing in front of the podium.
"Hey! It's what I just saw from the wall!" Linhai said immediately.
The next moment this thing appeared, the entire hall was silent for a moment, and then a panicked cry broke out.
After all, it looks real... It's so weird and scary.
If you have to use one word to really describe it properly, it can only be very "Cthulhu".
Human beings always naturally have strong hostility and resistance to the unknown and things that do not conform to their cognition. Many people stood up directly, took a fighting stance, and prepared to resist the moment the monster made a move.
"Everyone, please be quiet." The deep voice was like the resonance of 10,000 accordion bellows, reaching everyone's ears. Brother Octopus's mouth on the stage didn't move, but everyone "heared" its voice.
So the hundreds of mouths that were ready to shout were all closed at the same time, and those who stood up all sat down quietly in their seats.
In the absolute silence, Dong Zheng tried to open his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all.
It is a control method that is more powerful than mind control.
Brother Octopus was very satisfied with the current atmosphere in the hall. He looked around, his eyes were gentle, but everyone who was swept by his gaze shuddered.
"Everyone, welcome to Khaos Library, I'm the librarian S172 here, because my name cannot be understood by humans, so you can temporarily call me Kars." Brother Octopus said slowly, it was attached with two soft scales. There seemed to be a viscous liquid flowing on the cheeks, but it never dripped.
[All the administrators in the library have unimaginable power.]Cui Zuojing's voice suddenly sounded from Dong Zheng's mind, [their consciousness contains the richest knowledge in the entire universe, and they are living books in the library.]
Dong Zheng was passively silent, he could only nod his head, and asked: [Is its control unable to interfere with the prisoner's connection?]
[It should be said that you cannot interfere with me.]Cui Zuojing said it lightly, [This time the box is not ordinary, pay more attention.]
"I apologize for calling you all hastily, but the situation is urgent and we have to do it. Before the 1.72 dimensional clock, an unknown force suddenly attacked the library and carried out a vicious attack on the books in the library. Looting, although we have driven the invading forces away, we have lost a considerable part of the tome.
"Because the library is located in the center of chaos, when the invaders bring the books out, these tomes are scattered in various time and space, and we as librarians cannot leave the library.
"In order to retrieve the classics, we had to borrow the Labyrinth of Time, open the entrance and invite everyone to enter, hoping to use your power to retrieve the lost things."
Octopus paused, then said: "The Labyrinth of Time has been sealed as one of the forbidden places in the pure white world due to the overflow of space-time energy. There are many relics and treasures from different dimensions in it, but there are also many wandering exiles. evil monster.
"When you are looking for the fragments of the classics, you must pay attention to your own safety. If you face a danger that you cannot deal with, call my name Kars in your heart, and I will try my best to help you.
"After the fragments are found, everyone will take them temporarily. Before the labyrinth is closed, I will call everyone back here, and then deliver the fragments to me.
"Okay, this is the situation, every second that passes, the more likely the fragments are lost, the time is urgent, please do it as soon as possible-
boom!
Before Brother Octopus said anything, he heard a loud explosion, and the entire hall trembled wildly!
But even so, all the frightened people were still unable to make any stress response.
At the moment when the explosion sounded, a pair of huge tattered wings appeared behind Brother Octopus with a "crash". It roared, and the tentacles on the upper lip grew wildly for nearly 100 meters, piercing the void, as if directly strangling something in another dimension, as if to kill it alive!
"▇▇▇▇, they're here again!"
Another deep voice resounded in everyone's mind, mixed with incomprehensible words. The octopus brother Kars suddenly flew into the air, it flapped its wings, and with a wave of his wide sleeve robe, the floor of the conference hall was submerged in a burst of white light.
"Only knowledge and the unknown are immortal, good luck to you—"
As the voice fell, the floor was suddenly shattered piece by piece, attracted by a wonderful energy and fell into the endless void below. The people who couldn't move on the seats could only watch themselves fall into it, no matter how crazy they screamed in their hearts, they couldn't make any sound.
Victor grabbed Cui Zuojing's shirt with both front paws, and the boy hugged the cat tightly in his arms, and together with everyone, slowly rolled and fell to another time and space.
come down.
come down.
They fall.
Gradually below, a lush green labyrinth like a garden appeared, so huge that the edge of it could not be seen from high in the sky.
The seats disappeared, people scattered, fell at a speed that completely violated Newton's laws of motion, began to automatically decelerate when approaching the ground, and finally fell lightly on the flowing water like leaves.
Dong Zheng staggered, and after standing firm, he subconsciously reached out to pick up Cui Zuojing, who was about to lie on his back on his back, with a heavy weight on his hand.
The cat in the boy's arms jumped along his arm to his shoulder and landed lightly.
Dong Linhai got up.
A full 2,000 people, blocked by high walls, were scattered in a corner of the huge maze.
The sky above is still the sky, as blue as wash, and Kars with the head of the octopus is nowhere to be seen.
Thousands of copies, the labyrinth of time, officially begins!
