Jenkins came out of the water after all the enemies guarding the closed pipeline were eliminated. Looking around while steaming his clothes with flames, he found the owner of the blood that "led" him here.
The owner of those bloodstains was also the Xenogeneic Bone Eater, but he had been killed by Jenkins a few minutes ago. His chest was seriously injured, and the upper body protected by the bone armor was continuously oozing blood. The reason for coming here is unknown, but according to Jenkins' guess, there is a high probability that he wants to find someone to treat his injury after being injured by the church. After all, this is also a fatal injury.
But he didn't expect such a careless escape to attract Jenkins, and he didn't know whether it should be regarded as his bad luck or Jenkins' good luck.
After a simple search of this not-so-long pipeline, I found that it has been completely transformed into a "warehouse" for the entrance to the strange world. On every inch of the pipe wall, there are special rituals that match each other. These rituals come from the knowledge of aliens. Although Jenkins can't understand it, he is also a fifth-level gifter after all, and he can barely understand the role of these rituals. " Connect”, “Guide”, “Enclose” and “Protect”.
"They have been prepared for a long time, and they also know that the entrance of the Paradise Realm will collapse due to illegal use, so they will arrange a ceremony in advance to guide the collapsed entrance to reshape? The knowledge of the aliens is really powerful."
After pinching the boat ticket in his pocket, he made up his mind and walked firmly into the light gate step by step.
The familiar feeling of vertigo, even if you close your eyes, the grotesque hallucinations cannot be dispelled. After touching the solid ground, Jenkins couldn't help retching for a while, and then he found that the surroundings were as dark as the night, only the dark red ominous light in the distance.
There were four other people around him, but none of them showed the discomfort he felt when he first entered the strange land. This is of course abnormal, even if everyone did not enter here from Nolan at the same time, but due to the unity of the timeline of the Paradox, it stands to reason that Jenkins should directly cut into the time when everyone first entered the Paradise together.
"Oh, Mr. White Cat, you are really here!"
The place where the five people are located is like a small square reborn in troubled times and also like a sacrificial place. The ground is paved with white uneven stone bricks. Weeds were overgrown around the sacrificial site, and the grass twisted together, like arms stretching out to the sky, and like tentacles of an indescribable evil.
Jenkins saw Mr. White Cat at once. He leaned against the stone sculpture on one side and looked at Jenkins vigilantly.
Seeing that the other party was vigilant, Jenkins explained:
"It's me, Mr. Candle without the cat. I happened to meet Mr. Hood, who entrusted me to rescue you... What the hell is going on here?"
Because he had proved his identity, Mr. White Cat immediately explained the strange situation. Because there are other people here, so let's not mention the things before he entered the treacherous realm, just talk about this treacherous realm, the problem is quite serious:
"Actually, this strange situation has been cycled three times. The first time, only the lady over there and I were there. We didn't die after we failed, but started from scratch; the second time, the lady next to me from the church The night watchman of the night watchman appeared, so we learned about Nolan's situation at that time; the third time, Mr. Grave Watcher also entered here, Mr. Candle, you belong to the fourth cycle.
Specifically, the rules of this strange land have been distorted. The good side is that even if we fail to find the door to leave here as required, we will not die because of this, but start all over again; Failure will cause alien species outside the material world to use the gate to go to the material world when the strange world restarts. "
"What is the rule this time, what exactly are we going to do?"
Jenkins looked around while talking, the dark sky and the inexplicable dark red light in the distance are reminiscent of the scene of hell in the story.
"Wait a minute and someone will show up and tell us the rules... Although I've heard it three times, I'll probably know where I went wrong the first three times. Remember, Mr. Candle, once that You don't have to worry about anything, you just need to run forward without delay. Also, how is Nolan's situation now? What are the consequences of our three failures?"
The last question was not only asked by Mr. White Cat, but also asked by several other people. Two of these four people are benefactors of the Orthodox Church, but they entered at a very unfortunate time, before Jenkins reported the news of the entrance to the Paradox.
They accidentally discovered the entrance to the strange realm guarded by aliens. After a fight, they found that they were about to die, so they were forced to flee here for refuge.
"The current time is 2:10 in the morning, and the whole city is still under martial law. There has not been a major riot, but according to the law that each new wave of alien species is more and stronger than the last wave, if we can't end it before dawn This matter, Nolan will be in big trouble."
While several people were talking, Jenkins suddenly heard someone coughing behind him. Turning around to look, the woman holding the hourglass appeared there at some point. She looks like a human being, but both feet are sheep's hooves, and the sulfur smell around her is getting stronger and stronger after she appears. This is undoubtedly a demon, or something similar to a demon.
"I didn't expect someone to come in again, so that's good, maybe this time you have a chance to find a way out of here."
The woman said in a shrill voice, her every pronunciation had an echo, matching the environment here, it was inevitable to feel uncomfortable.
"See that red glow in the sky? Find its source, that's where the door is. You only have ten minutes, and I can start when I switch the hourglass up and down. So, any questions? "
She asked everyone.
Everyone else was ready to run, and Jenkins looked at the ground and asked loudly:
"What do you have to do with those alien species who violate the rules and use the paradox?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just that they just took advantage of this place."
"So you also have conflicts with them? If it weren't for them, you would have won the first time when the treacherous land ended, and you would have obtained the qualification to go to the material world. Why don't we cooperate, you give us some hints, and we return to the material world Then, immediately punish the person who caused all this.”
"But if I give you a hint, I will be a loser no matter what. Human beings, don't play tricks with demons. The ten-minute countdown starts now. I look forward to meeting you at the beginning of the fifth cycle."
