When Tianyang saw the huge, round, armored door in front of him with an extremely precise and complex mechanical structure on its surface and incredibly thick, he knew that he had arrived at his destination.
This is the safe on the lower level of the Beidou base. It was once used to store important things, but was later used by the base stationmaster Luo Kai to transfer Zi Chen and the Disaster Compass.
Tianyang pinched his leg, and the slight pain told him that all this was not a dream, but reality.
He was indeed a little surprised that he found the safe so easily, and the door of the safe was open, so it seemed that nothing could prevent him from entering.
For safety reasons, Tianyang still held Heiting in one hand and held the Ash Magic Crystal in the other. He gathered the thick black fog and used it to probe into the safe.
Under the influence of the dark resonance, the boy's perception range has now expanded a lot. But even so, it can't cover the entire vault. I didn't expect the residents of the reverse world to build this vault so big, it's like a hall!
The black fog constructed a model of the safe, and the boy saw several rows of towering metal storage cabinets. They were the main things in the safe. Each of those cabinets had hundreds of drawers. With this calculation, the number of things that could be stored in this safe was outrageous.
Tianyang immediately became a little worried. If Zi Chen was hiding here, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It would take more than a day or two to search through all the drawers. But this was the Dark Zone, there was no human being, but the Dark People on the front line could come back at any time.
So, no matter how you look at it, you can't stay here for too long.
In addition to many metal cabinets, Tianyang also saw several corpses. These corpses retained most of the human characteristics, but some parts had mutated.
It seems that these people died before they were completely transformed into black people, and judging from the incomplete bodies, they did not die of natural causes.
Due to the limited scope of the black fog model, Tianyang was unable to know the complete contents of the entire vault. Although he condensed his perception into a line and scanned back and forth several times, he still could not guarantee that nothing was missed.
However, there were no signs of other activities in the vault. At least, nothing was found for the time being, so Tianyang walked in.
The safe was pitch black. Although he could use the black fog model to see the surrounding environment clearly, Tianyang still took out a fluorescent stick and looked around with the help of the cold light emitted by the things in his hand.
The light could only illuminate a limited area, so Tianyang simply took out a few fluorescent sticks, lit them up, and threw them around. Suddenly, the things in front of him became clearer.
Suddenly, behind a row of metal cabinets, the boy saw a figure flash by. His scalp tingled and all the hair on his body stood up.
Because in the black fog model, he didn't "see" anything passing by. This was completely opposite to the phenomenon when the Plague Messenger was discovered. The Plague Messenger could be invisible, but because of its physical existence, it was constructed by the black fog.
But now, Tianyang can see this figure, but it does not appear in the black fog model. Doesn't this mean that the thing has no form, just like the legendary ghost!
Tianyang held Hei Ting tightly, and released the Ash Familiar in advance just in case.
The Ash Magic Crystal was slightly warm in his palm, and the surface began to peel off and turned into ash. The ash flew and condensed into a shape in the air.
The gray shape, Tianyang didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the demon’s figure was much taller than last time.
After making sufficient preparations, Tianyang went deep into the safe and rushed to the place where he had just seen the figure. However, there was no one on either side.
One person, the figure disappeared.
At this moment, there was a commotion behind the boy, as if someone was arguing. When he turned around, he saw an incredible scene.
At the place where we came from, in the "passage" formed by metal storage cabinets on both sides, several figures in uniform were arguing. Their figures were full of illusion, like some kind of holographic projection.
But Tianyang looked around and didn't find any projection devices. Besides, even if there were projection devices in the vault, they would have stopped working long ago.
What about these figures in front of me
Under the cold light emitted by the fluorescent sticks, these people were wearing the uniforms of the base. The middle-aged man who was making the loudest noise among them was the face formed by the shadow thing in the gap.
The middle-aged man has thick hair and thick eyebrows, but at this moment, his face is more full of anger.
Lin Yu!
Tian Yang had never expected to see him here, but this just proved that these figures were just some kind of projections. They were preserved by some unknown means, showing the boy a set of pictures that existed in the distant past.
The projection in front of him not only had images, but also sound. Tianyang believed that they should be using the language of the Reverse Realm. Unfortunately, although he could recognize the words of the Reverse Realm, he did not know the pronunciation of those words, so he had no idea what these people were arguing about.
Tianyang walked calmly, came near these figures, passed between several of them, and came to Lin Yu's side.
The person arguing with Lin Yu was another middle-aged man with short hair and tough facial lines. What's more important is that the name "Luo Kai" was clearly written on his work card on his chest.
It seems that this quarrel should be Lin Yu's opinion on Luo Kai's transfer of Zichen. If nothing unexpected happened, at this time, Lin Yu should have been influenced by the tomb demon in his dream, thus planting the seeds of surrender.
Before Tianyang was thinking, the shadows around him quickly disappeared, as if the power that supported their appearance had been exhausted.
But not long after, Tianyang heard another scream, and he hurriedly followed the sound.
After passing through several rows of metal cabinets, he suddenly saw several figures entangled together in front of him. Were several base personnel fighting
Luo Kai was yelling next to him. Tian Yang couldn't understand what he was saying, but from his expression, he seemed to be trying to stop a fight.
Tianyang could easily imagine how much psychological pressure these people had to endure when they hid here. In this environment, a look or a word could become a fuse.
This set of images also disappeared quickly.
The boy thought that some new images would appear, but the safe became quiet, with no more sounds or projections.
He waited for a while and saw no new pictures, so he shrugged and started looking for Zi Chen.
Suddenly, Tianyang found a metal cabinet covered with crystals. In these dark purple crystals, there were strands of golden light. Those rays of light suddenly formed a series of figures in the crystals.
Then, near the passage, a new picture was generated. Tianyang suddenly realized that the projection and sound in the safe were caused by this crystal. These crystals were purple, and I wondered if they had some connection with Zichen
Soon the picture disappeared again. It seemed that the appearance of the projection was random. So Tianyang ignored it for the time being and concentrated on searching for Zi Chen.
With the ability of the black mist to feedback information, Tianyang didn't need to go into battle and open the drawers one by one. He only needed to use the black mist to sense what was inside the drawers.
, clear at a glance.
For fear of missing something, Tianyang could only search each drawer one by one. This naturally reduced the speed of searching.
I don't know how many drawers I searched, but suddenly there was a loud noise from the direction of the door, and Tianyang rushed over immediately. Just after passing a row of metal cabinets, I saw a dozen base personnel besieging a vague figure near the door of the safe in the distance.
The figure was very tall, at least three meters tall, and there was grayish-white mist rising around him, so he couldn't see it clearly. As the mist flowed, silver-white armor was occasionally revealed. The armor was very thick, but when you looked through the gaps, you could see black skin.
The personnel at the base who participated in the siege had changed at this time. They were slightly taller than normal humans, and their limbs were sturdy.
This made their original base uniforms no longer fit, and even broke and tore. Then Tianyang clearly saw that their skin had turned light purple, which was the characteristic of the Deep Knights and their followers.
The most courageous person among the base personnel was Luo Kai. The stationmaster's figure had not changed much, but his skin was still purple, but the color was darker than that of the others, and his eyes were emitting a bloody red light.
The stationmaster was holding a metal war club, which was made by randomly welding together many pieces of metal. Its only advantage was that it was heavy enough.
But when Luo Kai held it in his hand, a ball of purple light mist was entangled on the metal war stick. Every time the war stick hit the blurry figure, a ball of purple flame would explode.
Amid the splashing flames, the gray-white mist surrounding the figure will roll wildly.
Suddenly, the figure in the gray mist roared, holding something and smashing it hard on the ground. Countless silver-white rays of light immediately burst out from all around, and wherever these things went, there was a severe frost!
The silver-white light spread out in a fan-shaped pattern, sweeping in all directions, basically covering all the personnel of the besieged base. Even Luo Kai was washed by the light, and his body was immediately frozen in the ice.
The blurry figure took the opportunity to turn around and ran towards the gate. In the surging gray mist, suddenly a fist appeared in the gap of the mist.
In that fist, purple light emanated from between the fingers, making Tianyang's heart suddenly rise to his throat.
What's in that fist
Could it be Zi Chen
The Purple Star Orb was taken away
The connection problem made Tianyang stunned. When he came to his senses, the figure near the gate had disappeared.
This time, Tian Yang knew where the bodies in the safe came from. They must have been killed by the gray mist figure. That thing had no idea where it came from, broke into the safe, and might have taken Zi Chen away.
That's why Luo Kai and others attacked with all their might, trying to detain the opponent, but in the end they let it run away.
If so, then the tomb demons must have taken Zi Chen away. But if they took Zi Chen back, why would they still stay in the Beidou base
Or maybe he took Zichen's things and planned to keep the treasure for himself. So the other tomb demons didn't know about it, so there are these black people in the base now
This is the most reasonable explanation, but the details may only be known by that gray fog thing.
However, all this was just Tianyang's own guess. He was not sure whether the person holding that thing was Zi Chen.
Just in case, the boy did not leave immediately, he continued to search the drawers one by one. When he used the black fog to probe into a two-meter-high metal cabinet.
Suddenly, Tianyang "saw" that there was actually a person in the closet...
