In order to facilitate observation of the ground, he also made a simple periscope, so observing the ground was not a problem.
At dawn, around five or six o'clock, as if someone was pouring dry ice down from the sky, a large cloud of fog poured over from the wilderness like a blanket.
Soon, the fog covered the top of the pit he dug, and some white fog seeped into the ground along the vents.
However, Bai Zhi is not in a hurry. He behaves very patiently. The impact of the mist is easy to prevent. The real difficulty is the whispers in the mind. Unless you can ensure that you do not inhale even a little bit of the mist, you will It will definitely be affected.
But for Bai Zhi, the biggest threat to Bai Zhi is the former... and of course the thousands of chains that are everywhere in the mist.
About half an hour later, a rushing sound came from the mist. The sound was like an endless tide, getting closer and closer to him.
At this time, the fog on the ground was extremely thick. Even the holes Bai Zhi dug were all occupied by the thick white fog.
"Is this thing... so curious?"
Looking at the huge blurry black shadow approaching from far away in the thick fog, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache.
Now, he finally understood why the man who had desperately escaped from the thick fog had chosen to commit suicide in despair. If he had fallen into that situation, he would have chosen to understand himself simply.
-What is more terrifying than death is that you cannot die no matter what, and you have to endure eternal torture.
In the town, the girl who put on protective clothing and hid in an underground safe house closed her eyes tightly, clasped her hands on her chest and prayed silently.
… … … … … … … … … …
Inside the thick fog, the sound of chains rattling could be heard all the time.
The front ends of the hundreds of chains walking in front are connected to various creatures, some of which are strange beasts that haunt the wilderness, and some of which are human beings who look miserable and are covered with stones. They... or rather, they The whole body is connected to these chains, and it has become one with these chains.
The chains connecting them are like a big net, covering every corner of their bodies. Every time they drag the chains forward, they will let out a rather painful scream in their mouths... But they can't stop. .
When they are affected by the thick fog and merge with those inanimate objects, their life essence changes.
It would be okay if the fused inanimate objects were small in size. They could be torn off directly like Bai Zhi. But if the non-living bodies they fuse are much larger than them... they will have quite terrifying vitality.
To this extent, they are immortal unless the inanimate body they fuse with is completely destroyed along with themselves.
Bai Zhi had verified this before in that underground base.
At that time, Bai Zhi tried to separate a person from the underground base, but the body that was cut out was obviously a human body, but it turned into ordinary steel the moment he was separated.
In a fully integrated state, unless he can completely destroy the underground base, those people who were integrated into the underground base will never die.
But that's not the scariest thing.
The most terrifying thing is that those people can still maintain their own consciousness, and in this state, they can feel pain forever, because the inanimate objects that are fused are equivalent to part of their bodies. If any part of the body is injured, they will feel the same pain.
—No matter how determined a person is, how long can he persist in that situation without going crazy
"The chains are completely integrated with every part of my body... Isn't this too cruel?"
Subconsciously holding his breath, Bai Zhi felt an inexplicable toothache as he watched those things howl and drag their chains past him.
There are only a few hundred people fused by chains or those strange beasts in the wilderness, but there are thousands of free chains. The first time, he was almost dragged in by a chain. .
...Fortunately, there is [Beat Doll]
After waiting patiently for about ten minutes, Bai Zhi finally saw the whole picture of the huge black figure being dragged forward by those chains. However, when he saw the full appearance of that thing, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. was stunned for a moment.
It was not the terrifying monster or anything else he had imagined. Instead, it was a huge square black iron house...or it could be called a house reluctantly.
After all, Bai Zhi had never seen such a weird house covered in chains, like an ultimate tentacle monster.
"...Is this thing the Experimental Subject Zero? Or is the other party living in the house now?"
Looking at the huge black iron house over there that was gradually moving towards him, Bai Zhi started to guess in his mind.
At this time, he had crawled out of the underground cave. All the straight chains around him were stretched, and the other spare chains had been placed in the town for hunting, so he was temporarily safe now.
While he was thinking, the huge black iron house was dragged in front of him, and a huge black iron door stood in front of him.
"…door?"
He raised his head and looked at the several-meter-high black iron door on the black house in front of him. After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi reached out and pushed open the unlocked iron door, and walked into the darkness at the door. .
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 623 Chapter 615 Book Spirit
It was pitch black inside the huge black iron house, and it was truly impossible to see even one's fingers.
Just after Bai Zhi walked through the door, the iron door behind him closed again with a bang.
Bai Zhi paused slightly for a moment, then continued walking forward.
If you don't have an arrow to turn your bow, you have to break into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
At the beginning it was extremely narrow, and then he became enlightened. After taking dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened.
But when he saw the situation in front of him clearly, Bai Zhi couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
What appeared in front of him was a rather spacious hall.
There are large and small light screens all around the hall. These light screens are playing various pictures at double speed. There are tens of thousands of them in total.
In the center of the hall, nine obviously much larger light screens were arranged in sequence. The image of one of the light screens happened to stop on a girl wearing protective clothing and praying with her hands clasped together.
"..."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Bai Zhi walked up to the nine light screens in the center.
The scenes projected on these nine light screens were obviously the nine players who were in the dungeon.
Some of the light screens are blacked out. It should be that the opponent failed and returned to the pure white room to continue exchanging information to prepare for the next strategy. The remaining ones are about five times faster. The screen is displayed at a rapid speed.
In the pictures projected by these light screens, Bai Zhi saw the figures of other people.
For example, Lin Xiaoyi poisoned the food while others were not paying attention. For example, Ling Xiaoyi sneaked into the ammunition room to install the lead while others were not paying attention. For example, the school beauty was setting fire to the Wild Wolf Gang at night. … Shouldn’t it be said that he is not a criminal suspect designated by the system
Looking at a certain school beauty who seemed to be extremely skilled in this kind of thing inside the light screen, Bai Zhi's expression couldn't help but look a little weird.
He remembered that in the past, the other party seemed to have said that he would destroy the Wild Wolf Gang by poisoning them with cubes. At that time, he thought that the other party just said that, but now it seems that the other party clearly said that. Have done this several times.
- As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, nothing but familiarity.
"...the convenience brought by being a gangster?"
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Each of the identities provided in the options has its own role.
If you want to start as a gangster, you should be in the Wild Wolf Gang from the beginning, but you will avoid the biggest trouble of getting in.
As for the rest, Bai Zhi saw the moment when he was locked in a fierce battle with the monsters in the underground base, but judging from the situation of the other party, it was estimated that they were only a few minutes away from being defeated... Well, it was only a few seconds away.
It seems that the other party should have a quite unique experience next.
"You are indeed the first one to come here."
Just when Bai Zhi was about to look at other light screens, a voice appeared in front of him out of nowhere.
"... Hitomi?"
Looking at the figure appearing in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.
"No, you can call me Shuling."
The other party shook his head.
"We had a chat before. Now that you are here, please complete the final steps."
"What's the meaning?"
Looking at the so-called Shu Ling in front of him who looked the same as Tong, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's very simple. Please kill her and fulfill her wish."
There was no expression on Shu Ling's face.
"Being able to push that door open means that you have gained her trust. Only the person she trusts the most can kill her in this situation."
"Really? Rather than that, let's continue the previous topic."
Bai Zhi shrugged slightly, with a noncommittal look on his face.
"For example, who are you, where is the big library where you were born, what is the Garden of Eden, and what is Hitomi's current situation... After you finish talking about these, let's move on to the next step. How was the conversation?"
"Can."
Unlike before, the other party agreed quite happily this time.
"What do you want to know?"
"Is this time so happy..."
Bai Zhi looked at the other person with a slightly strange look, and after thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked tentatively.
"Where is that big library where you were born?"
"have no idea."
"So insincere? What do you mean by answering a question?"
Bai Zhi slightly rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"My sense of self was born after I left there. I only have a vague video record of that place, that's all."
Shu Ling answered calmly.
"Tch...what about the Garden of Eden?"
"The evil god."
"Why did that thing come to Hitomi?"
Looking at the other party, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You should know this reason, right?"
"Pure souls have always been the favorites of those evil gods. The specific reason is unknown."
Shu Ling raised his head and looked at him. Because of the height difference between the two, she could only do this.
"Those beings who actively choose to become dependents in order to gain power cannot actually be called dependents. They are just consumables used by the evil gods to bring power. Only existences like these chosen by the evil gods can They are called their true relatives."
"Really? Then these guys are really shameless..."
Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Zhi's complexion could not help but darken slightly.
[Eden] It makes sense to seduce Hitomi when she falls into despair, but [Doll Princess] is a bit ungrateful. When Anna was only a few years old, she went into the other person's dream and tricked the other person into signing a contract. … How crazy can someone be to do this
It's simply shameless...
"So what about Experimental Subject Zero? The real Experimental Subject Zero should be more than just such a big black iron house, right?"
"Been eaten by Hitomi."
"… eat?"
"It's just a consumable item that can be thrown away at any time. Throw it away when it's no longer used. Is there a problem?"
From the beginning to the end, the expression on Shu Ling's face never changed.
"This book has been mostly contaminated by the power of [Garden of Eden], and I can't hold on much longer. After a while, she will be completely pulled into [Garden of Eden], and when that time comes, everything will become real." That's too late."
“What exactly is [Garden of Eden]?”
Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"It is heaven and hell. All your dreams can come true there. Anyone who falls into it will never be able to come back. They will completely become part of the Garden of Eden."
Shu Ling looked at him calmly.
"All the good things that can be imagined in the world can be obtained there. No one can leave that kind of place, because the Garden of Eden can satisfy all your wishes. Leaving there is also your wish, and even destroying the Garden of Eden is yours. Wishes. Once you enter the Garden of Eden, no one can come back."
"...So you're going to do this?"
Squinting his eyes slightly, Bai Zhi looked at the thousands of light screens surrounding the hall.
Except for the nine light screens that nine of their players participated in, the remaining light screens that they did not interfere with were repeating the three dark days with Hitomi as the protagonist over and over again.
"These painful experiences can keep her from getting lost, and they are probably only equivalent to the nightmares she would have in the Garden of Eden."
Looking up at him, Shu Ling spoke calmly.
"Otherwise, she would have been completely trapped in it."
