One minute ago. William's perspective
The body was completely stripped away by the tenth abyss,
William, whose consciousness resides in the mask, completes his final pilgrimage and falls to the bottom.
Although he had lost all external perception, William's consciousness was still able to receive the images below.
However, there are two pictures.
One is the Tenth Abyss himself standing in front of him. The so-called "audience" is completed here. William is also the first outsider in history to be officially qualified for an audience.
The other is a door, a door as dark as the abyss, but not completely belonging to the abyss, with obvious marks of fitting on the edge.
The door appears extremely clear in my consciousness; even if my physical body is not there, I can still open it in my consciousness.
William, who had accidentally encountered the leather door when dealing with the apostle's skin, knew very well what this door corresponded to. It was the entrance to the path he had been looking for for a long time.
William was faced with a choice.
Should you meet the abyss first and then complete the path, or complete the path first and then meet the abyss
Even though the epileptic brain was not there, William still completed the final thinking in a short time... or rather, his instinctive intuition allowed him to make the decision instantly.
Open the door first
Now even the body no longer exists, although a very perfect mask has been formed.
But this audience posture is not perfect enough, and it does not even have any qualifications to negotiate terms with the Tenth Abyss head-on.
If you can complete the path and condense your body to meet the Buddha in a higher level posture, you can get better results.
Before coming into contact with the tenth abyss, William immediately pushed open the door at the bottom of the abyss in his consciousness.
The moment the door opened, the mask and William's consciousness were sucked in... Buzz!
In a blink of an eye, the oppressive feeling from the abyss no longer existed, and William's consciousness was standing on a path that no life in the old world had ever set foot on.
This unknown path beneath the abyss will lead him to the depths of the old world, where he will try to contact the center of the lesion, so that the pathogenic components in his body can be replenished from the lesion and the missing ancient genes can be completed.
Of course, William didn’t know what specific steps would be taken and what the final outcome would be.
Judging from those who have completed the path, their appearance will not change much. It will be more about the integration and simplification of diseases in the body and the completion of ancient genes. Perhaps a kind of ancient syndrome will be formed.
In any case, the answer will be revealed soon.
Walking along this unknown path leading to the center of the lesion, it feels like walking on the surface of a giant neuron. It is not as long as imagined and we will soon reach the end.
There is still a door at the end, but I don’t know where it leads to.
The focus is not on the "path itself", but on the previous "finding the path" and the subsequent "getting out of the path".
Reach out and push the door at the end, and the white light inside pours out like a tide.
Having been in darkness for a long time, William found it difficult to adapt to the sudden extreme whiteness and remained in pure white for a long time.
When his vision slowly adjusted, the scene before his eyes made William suddenly stunned.
It is expected that the "center of the disease" should be a chaotic space full of diseases, similar to the body cavity of some kind of life form... However, what is actually presented is a neat and open pure white space.
The white space has a cube structure and 108 doors on the side walls, corresponding to 108 exits.
The shapes, colors and smells of the doors are all different, including the sutured door that William had seen before, which corresponds to the skin path.
However, the door that William came through at the bottom of the abyss was simply black, without any appearance. It was just an ordinary black door.
Because the Black Gate was located too high, an elevator was carrying William down.
The ground area corresponding to the lower end was pure white, and no life or objects were seen for the time being.
Ding Dong!
The elevator reaches the bottom.
When William stepped onto the empty white ground, it felt like he was stepping on a cold tile.
It's obviously solid.
Gurgle gurgle~ Bubbles appeared on the ground two meters away, and a servant in a pure white suit, tie, leather shoes, and even a pure white and faceless head emerged.
Not only the attire, but even the manners they displayed were very much like gentlemen among organizations.
"Hello, explorer of the unknown path! I am your exclusive receptionist. Next, I will lead you to complete the path promotion, which is mainly divided into two steps.
"Silver Turbidity" and "Composition".
Since you are the first explorer of the unknown path, you will enjoy the highest level of promotion services, and you only need to cooperate throughout the process.
If you have any questions, you can ask me.
First, the silver turbidity will last for a long time. Please follow me. Since your external body has been completely destroyed, the silver turbidity process may last for more than a week.
If your body is special, contains many types of diseases and has a complex structure, it will take longer.
But don't worry, we will provide enough original silver solution until you complete the "silver turbidity".
"good."
William was very receptive and followed the pure white attendant decisively, asking questions slowly during the walk.
"By the way, where is this place?"
"Through the entrance hall, all individuals who have completed the path will arrive here. Since your body is completely destroyed and only your consciousness has arrived, the scene and our image presentation are determined according to the thoughts of the person entering.
It is rare to see such a clean and tidy scene with a technological industrial style and human design. "
"Based on my understanding... No wonder it is presented like this. Is this the center of the disease?"
"No, this is just an important "transit station". Only individuals who have completed the expression of the disease and have accumulated sufficient disease value can come here.
It also means that you have been recognized by the disease at the disease level, and from now on you will be an indispensable member of this world, and you can even be called a "probiotic."
“Transit station, probiotics…”
William has roughly understood his identity. Perhaps from now on he is a true member of the old world.
William continued with the next question, "Speaking of which, most of the doors here have characteristics corresponding to some kind of plague. The door of the path I passed through doesn't seem to have any characteristics. It's just a black door panel."
"What kind of pattern will be engraved on the surface of the Pathway Gate is directly related to the first person who passes through this gate. When you complete the two steps I just mentioned and become promoted, the gate will express a form similar to your disease.
Although the door does not have a pattern yet, it still has a specific definition.”
"What definition?"
"The gate you passed through is a rare "black gate", representing a gate of malignant disease. Such black gates were not allowed to exist before the defeat of the old world.
However, the current situation is special and we treat everyone equally.
The black door you passed through is defined as order, which is a special neutral word that can express chaos and disorder as well as order in a certain sense.
Since you can find this path, you should also be able to understand the meaning of the so-called order, right?"
“I think I can understand that.”
"Well, the promotion you are about to take is also related to this topic. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. You can slowly think about it during the process.
As the first explorers of unknown paths, we have no time limit."
Following the servant out of the entrance hall, they soon arrived at a pure white bathhouse. The huge pool was filled with a silver substance.
For some reason, the moment William saw the silver substance, he wanted to soak in it.
Living things instinctively desire to evolve.
