[The Labyrinth of Time IV area, the number of participants is 2000/2000, the collection progress is 0/15000, the countdown is 3:59:59]
This line of small characters appeared in the upper right corner of Dong Zheng and Lin Hai's field of vision. After a while, it gradually faded and disappeared from sight.
Dong Zheng had seen this method of prompting in the manual, and when he thought about it, the words were displayed again.
Linhai sat cross-legged on the ground, and he was also proficient at thinking about it. After half a minute, he stood up and looked around curiously.
This is a typical labyrinth shape. All you can see are walls about four meters high, with unknown climbing plants growing on them, which look unremarkable. They were in a short straight passage with a corner ahead.
Dong Zheng took the lead: "Let's go, find the fragments."
No one objected, the group walked around the corner and could vaguely hear voices coming from the other side of the wall.
"Hey! Is there anyone!" Lin Hai shouted.
The voice was still ringing, but there was no response from the other side.
"Stop shouting, they can't hear it." Cui Zuojing walked beside Dong Zheng, turned to look at Linhai, and said, "The Labyrinth of Time is listed as a forbidden place for no reason. The power of time and space is here. Spilled and chaotic, there is no pattern to be found at all, you can hear the sound and feel that they are on the opposite side, but in fact they may be on the other side of the maze."
"And the wall here changes when you don't even notice it, or to put it another way, it changes direction and position right in front of your face, and you forget it under the power of time. What I just saw, I just think it moved in the blink of an eye when you weren't paying attention."
"So terrifying!" Lin Hai hurriedly stepped up and followed Dong Zheng, "Wouldn't it be easy to get lost?"
Cui Zuojing: "Yes, and it's full of wormholes, so you can't pay attention at all. Maybe I was walking in front of you a second ago, and then I'll be behind you, but with me around, there should be time nearby. It won't be so disruptive."
Cui Zuojing accidentally or deliberately revealed some meaningful information. Dong Zheng glanced at him and could vaguely feel that Cui Zuojing was tempting himself to explore. Everything he knew about Cui Zuojing The more curious you are, the easier it is to be distracted by him.
But Dong Zheng wouldn't take the bait so easily.
I promised Cui Zuojing some things, but it doesn't mean that I have to listen to him.
After all, there are too many secrets and doubts about this young man. They have only known each other for three or four days, so they are not familiar at all. At the very beginning, Cui Zuojing even wanted to kill him and Linhai.
Cui Zuojing, who has the bond of a blood pact, can't hurt him, but it doesn't prevent the boy from deliberately guiding him and Linhai in the designed direction.
As newcomers, even if they were tricked, they probably wouldn't even realize it.
Dong Zheng: "This way, you don't have to worry about memorizing the map, but in the same way, you can only wait for the countdown to end or after the collection is completed, Kars will send us out."
The Labyrinth of Time seems to be at the end of summer, and the air is filled with humidity and heat. Dong Zheng and Linhai were completely unaware of the weather conditions inside when they arrived. Like most people, they wore clothes specially designed to enter the box in the store. The designed tactical suit, this suit does not know what kind of black technology is used, and it can automatically adjust the body temperature within a certain range.
And Cui Zuojing is still accustomed to white clothes and black pants, with a long-sleeved jacket on the outside, just like an ordinary high school boy.
The three and one cat walked for about 200 meters. Dong Zheng, who was at the front, suddenly stopped, and a wall appeared in front of him without warning, blocking the road in front of him and making him worse. Hit the head at one point.
This time Dong Zheng and Lin Hai fully understood Cui Zuojing's explanation, even though he was still amazed - this wall really moved in front of his eyes, and he forgot everything he saw
I guess no one can tell.
Dong Zheng touched the wall with his hand, feeling the coolness of the vine leaves and the slightly prickly thorns, and suddenly he touched something bulging behind a leaf.
He moved for a while, pushed aside the leaf, leaned over from the sea, and asked, "What's wrong?"
In order to give Dong Zheng and Dong Linhai the experience they deserve, Cui Zuojing had agreed with them at the very beginning that if it weren't for a life-threatening emergency, he and Victor would not have easily helped.
This is also the hope that the two will not do nothing because of the powerful prisoners and summoned beasts, and eventually the tragedy of salting and death will occur.
"Found this."
A small red button, like a mechanism that can be opened, made of rubber, with "press" written in white paint.
"Press to try?" Lin Hai suggested.
Dong Zheng pressed it down, the indicator light inside the button came on, and then the outline of a door appeared on the wall. Accompanied by the voice reminder that the "identity detection" had passed from nowhere, the color of the door perfectly blended with the wall gradually changed. It turned into a cool white color commonly seen in laboratories, and slowly opened silently to both sides.
"Is there any book fragments in here?" Linhai looked inside, and saw that there were many tightly closed doors on both sides of the corridor, which was also dominated by cool white, and there were many places for swiping access cards.
"It should be, go in and have a look." Dong Zheng took the lead, and everyone walked into this laboratory that did not know which time and space it was located in. At the end, Cui Zuojing also came in. The door was just like when it opened. Quietly closed.
All access control lights are red forbidding access, and there is a faint voice from a door in the deepest corridor, like a fierce quarrel, but when they approached, the voice disappeared.
Dong Zheng: "The fragments should be inside."
Lin Hai raised his hand and pressed it on the fingerprint reader. Unexpectedly, he had no permission: "But how do we get in? Brother Octopus didn't give us a pass or anything."
Cui Zuojing couldn't help raising the corner of his lower lip, "True, don't say this nickname in front of Kars."
Victor kindly reminded Dong Linhai: "Karls has a bad temper. The last person who dared to call him an octopus has already been poured into cement to build the library."
Linhai was instantly horrified, Cui Zuojing took the opportunity to fan the flames and scare him, "No creature in the space-time library will die, even if you are cemented by Karls, you will at most be indulged in the pain of suffocation forever, and then we will come here to borrow Books, you're listening in the wall, maybe we'll beg Kars to let you put your mouth out and have a few more chats, that's nice."
Cui Zuojing was busy intimidating Dong Linhai, while Victor was watching the play, and Dong Zheng was the only one left thinking about the fragments. He studied it for a while, then turned his head and said, "Let's find out if there is an access card."
"Definitely not! You are such a bad person that you will scare me. If you have the ability, tell my brother." Lin Hai strongly supported the scene, and pulled Dong Zheng over to strengthen himself.
"Don't make trouble, hurry up and find the access card." Dong Zheng began to have a vague headache, and Cui Zuojing's undisguised malice towards Linhai left him nothing. After a few days of getting along, Dong Zheng could feel that Cui Zuojing completely believed in the supremacy of strength, and in his eyes, weakness seemed to be an original sin.
As if he was never weak.
This little devil-like boy is not pleasing to tell the truth. He often has a smile on his face, but his eyes are cold and contain no emotion. This often makes Dong Zhengqing unable to help thinking, in Cui Zuojing's eyes, he Is He Linhai only used as a tool to achieve a certain purpose
But now, they have no strength to fight against Cui Zuojing. They can only be tool people obediently. Once things develop any signs of wrong, Dong Zheng will immediately use the three mandatory orders in the blood contract to get rid of Cui Zuo. Jing.
Turning the corner, the corridor was not as bright as it had come from, with only a few emergency lights emitting dim light. The entire test base is beyond imagination. The passages are intertwined like spider webs. Dong Zheng walked through more than a dozen nearly identical passages before finally seeing the first person here.
A deceased researcher.
He seemed to have lost the support of his spine, twisted against the wall in a rather terrifying posture, his head bowed, and there was no blood on his clean and tidy white lab coat.
Dong Zheng got the pass-through chip from his wristband. He didn't waste time observing the corpse to find out the cause of the researcher's death. He returned to the original path as quickly as possible, and opened the door that revealed the sound.
There was a soft sound of "di", and the green light of "permission permitted" replaced the red light. Dong Zheng pushed open the door and went in. At a glance, he saw a faint white glow on the experimental bench. Translucent fragments like the earth model were slowly moving. spinning.
This is the fragment of the tome that was lost here. Dong Zheng reached out and touched it, and immediately heard the quarrel vaguely heard when he just entered this space.
"Stop all continued research on JM-216, this is an order from the Supreme Council!"
"But the experiment is about to be completed! We have sacrificed so much human and material resources, and Dr. Downton lost his life because of it. How can we just give up!"
"Don't you understand! Downton has said from the very beginning of the experiment that what JM-216 brings may not be hope, and his death is not an operational error at all, JM-216 really-"
The quarrel came to an abrupt end here.
The earth model didn't fit into Dong Zheng's palm, and at the same time a sentence appeared in his mind:
[Our new discovery may completely destroy the entire world. —JM·Gray Matter Doomsday]
Collection progress: 41/15000, countdown 3:47:53.
"Okay, next." Dong Zheng turned around neatly, Cui Zuojing opened the door of the laboratory, the corridor disappeared, and the scene in the maze was already outside the door.
They returned to the maze again. The collection of shards was not as difficult as Dong Zheng imagined. With the experience of the first shard, the progress should be much faster.
"Not bad." Cui Zuojing gave him a good comment.
"It looks pretty easy." Linhai said, "I thought I would encounter something strange, maybe because the location of the fragment just now was friendly?"
Time is urgent, 15,000 pieces of 2,000 people, on average, they need to find 15 pieces in a group, only four hours, and if they want to get tickets and other props here, they have to speed up the progress.
Dong Zheng and Linhai walked quickly, looking for the door to other spaces and the lost things, Cui Zuojing and Victor followed leisurely.
A group of people were walking, and suddenly heard a happy cry of a little girl behind them:
"Kitty!"
The authors have something to say: Grey Matter: The grey part of the brain and spinal cord, which is mainly composed of nerve cells.
