Under the watchful eyes of all the practitioners in the Stone Temple, the old man, whom they respected as the Lord, personally led the four special visitors to the center of the city, to the most dangerous area.
As soon as he walked out of the brass gate of the stone temple, Nash came back from the foot of the mountain and knelt on his knees and cried loudly.
"Wow! Boss, I know I was wrong! I didn't believe you, and I arrogantly wanted to block the attack for you... I really won't dare to do it next time.
If you are still angry, you can whip me and humiliate me here in front of everyone."
Nash became more and more excited as he spoke, and even started to take off his clothes.
The old man also saw this scene, and couldn't help but sigh at the open-mindedness of the young people in the lower world.
"Nash, be normal and remember your identity as an actor."
"Yes, Boss! Ahem!"
Nash immediately buttoned up his shirt and stood beside William in a serious manner. Except for his wandering eyes, his other postures were very much like a bodyguard or security guard.
"You go ahead, I have something to talk to Jessica about."
"knew."
William deliberately slowed down and fell behind the team.
There was no need for further explanation. The moment the dead makeup was removed, Jessica's mouth came over, gently nibbling the flesh with her teeth, while licking it with her tongue to quickly heal it.
"Ms. Jessica, this old man's method is not pathological... but a kind of magic trick that can instantly deprive me of the air I use to breathe and the oxygen left in my blood.
If I wasn't well versed in death, it would be really dangerous."
Jessica, who was gently biting William's abdomen, responded, "It is indeed dangerous, but it's just like that after I've seen it once.
I can change the shape of my body in a short period of time, and the bacteriophage will be responsible for the transportation of various nutrients. I don't need to breathe, I just need to eat nutrients regularly.
However, this old guy should still have many abilities related to Qi, which is quite powerful, but no matter what, he is just a broken body.
His most amazing ability should be his training methods. He was able to secretly train so many Silver Circle patients, which is amazing even in the old world.
The world outside is really interesting. I really want to dissect this old guy."
“Focus on what’s in front of you. Find out what could have hurt the old man to such an extent that the entire city had to be relocated to suppress it.
The air flowing through the city was something I had never seen before, and it seemed that the despair of the entire city was related to that thing.
When it appeared in this modern city, all humans felt despair coming at the same time. Instead of dying immediately, their flesh and blood were sucked away bit by bit, and they watched themselves and the people around them slowly die without being able to do anything. "
Jessica didn't worry about what she would encounter next. After completing the medical treatment, she put on her mask again and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. William. This journey is really interesting."
"Miss Jessica, if you like to explore new things, you can register in my theater. If you are free in the future, you can always join our adventures."
"Okay, as long as I get out of here alive, I'll be listed."
Currently, there is only one street left for everyone to reach the city center.
This is also the surveillance point that the Gu Long Fei people can get closest to. Crouching on the highest point of the surrounding buildings, they nodded to the old man and then turned their gazes to the city center, not moving away for a moment.
The concentration of the atmosphere here has reached a very high value.
Whether it was Nash, who was walking in front and whose essence was a parasite, or Jessica, who was beside William and whose essence was teeth, or Lorian, who had a special physique, they could all feel a sense of "peeling off".
Not only was the body being torn away, but even the soul seemed to be torn apart from the depths and drifting away.
Buzz!
A wave of ripples spread out on William's clothes, and the originally dark black suit began to have blood vessel-like bulges, showing a yellow color.
The fabric of the entire suit has also changed, and it feels like old skin to the touch.
The moment the garment was formed, the feeling of being detached instantly disappeared from William.
Dentist Jessica's eyes widened. "Skin grafting! This is something only the Twelve disciples can do... William, what exactly is your role in the leather factory?"
"Nothing, I'm just very familiar with a big shot in the leather factory."
Nash, who was at the head of the group, immediately followed up with a sentence, "The boss is a true genius! It's not normal for the source of the epidemic area to want to have something to do with him. It's a big deal."
The old man with a cane just watched the changes in William's skin silently, nodded slightly, and continued to lead the way.
Crossing the last street,
The city's "Central Park" suddenly appeared before our eyes.
The park looks normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you will find many problems. For example, some trees are not lying on the ground, but growing on benches or trash cans.
The running paths and stone paths running through the park are also intermittent and irregular.
You can even see obvious penetration, with some trees' branches passing through another tree, and some trees even growing directly on top of another tree.
It is not an illusion, but a real scene.
"Is the space disordered?" William, as a half-astronomer, saw the problem with the park at a glance. "And it's not just the space that's disordered. Many conventional parameters are abnormal."
Just as William was wondering, the old man with the cane had already walked into the park.
"I'll go in first. If you can't find the park center within five minutes, it means you are not qualified to handle this matter."
As the old man disappeared, everyone looked at each other and immediately followed him.
William once again grew a spiked iron chain from his palm to connect the team, "Everyone must stay connected. The space here is chaotic, and we may be separated if we are not careful."
Nash and dentist Jessica both readily accepted William's proposal, but when the chain approached Lorian... Buzz! The chain went straight through.
Lorian, who had been following everyone, was actually an illusion;
In other words, at a certain period of time, Lorian used illusion to replace himself.
"This guy Lorian... Never mind, let's go in first. I believe he has his own considerations."
When everyone officially set foot in the park, a strong sense of incongruity hit them. It felt like they had walked into a game scene full of errors and disgusting loopholes. They would also make short jumps while walking, and even return to the park entrance.
After walking around the periphery of the park for a minute, William concluded that it was impossible to reach the inside by normal walking.
"If it were Principal Dai Silin, she might be able to slowly adjust the space and find a way to go deeper. But my words are not enough. I have to use special means."
The chain pulls,
Pull Nash and Jessica directly into the abdomen.
"Abyssal Parasite"
William himself also swallowed the abyss in his abdomen, using the abyss as a passage to go directly to the 'deep space'. Even if the outer space is chaotic, as long as it is deep enough, he can find a stable space level.
Like a parasite, it crawls forward in the stable deep space, reaches the coordinate point corresponding to the central area of the park, and then crawls out again.
Buzz!
A black hole appeared out of nowhere.
Three individuals covered in slime crawled out of the abyss. They were now inside the park, with a turquoise lake full of lotus leaves in front of them.
Although there was nothing on the lake, everyone could feel a strong sense of suction, and ripples began to appear on their skin, as if it was about to be torn off.
Across the lake is an old man with a cane.
The head above the lungs was also surprised when he saw William and others arrived at the center of the park at the same time as him. He quickened the pace of his crutches and met the three people along the lakeside track.
"Yes, it seems that you are more capable than I thought... By the way, your silver-haired friend seems to be missing?"
"He may have his own ideas, or he may not want to come in here.
Don't worry about him, let's just deal with the matter at hand. All the auras are gathered in this lake, but I don't seem to see anything."
William could see through the lotus leaves into the depths of the lake with his naked eyes, but there was nothing inside, not even fish or shrimp.
The old man explained, "Ordinary senses cannot see it. The things I sealed with all my efforts do not exist in reality, and are not even bound by rules.
Whether you can see 'it' will determine whether you can help me.
I created the Lung Temple and taught breathing techniques so that apprentices could capture the 'conceptual existence' of the non-material plane through the flow of special gases.
I'll give you five more minutes. If you can see the "truth", we'll take action. "
"Not existing in reality, not bound by rules, the concept exists? What on earth is that?"
"I will explain it to you later. If you can't sense it, there is no need to explain it... Focus, young man."
Without Grape, William couldn't open the special perspective.
The path of eyes is denied, so I choose to close them.
William entered a meditative state, allowing his mental power to spread out as much as possible, covering the entire lake, trying to capture something invisible, but the final result was still nothing.
"Can't even the mental power of Dian Nao be captured?"
William opened his eyes again and looked at his teammates. Jessica was grinding her teeth at different frequencies, while Nash was shaking his eyes at an extremely high frequency, trying to see something that did not exist in reality.
"William, can't you see this? Do you want me to come out and help..." Yi Chen's voice sounded in his mind.
"No, I'll do it myself."
William immediately changed his mindset.
He tilted his head to look at the old man beside him, carefully observing the pulsation of his lungs, and the breathing between his nose and throat, and then used physical perception to capture the subtle changes in the old man's trachea.
Using the body rhythm learned from Mr. Rabbit and coordinating with his acting skills, I began to learn and imitate.
The old man naturally noticed William's behavior and noticed that William was imitating his breathing.
"You don't want to accept the transformation of your lungs, you don't want to accept my teachings, and you want to imitate my breathing directly? You are... um!"
Before the old man finished his evaluation, he discovered that William exhaled a unique breath from his mouth, a breath that could only be exhaled by practicing breathing techniques to a certain level.
William smiled and seemed to have found the rhythm of his breathing.
As the air that permeated the lake was exhaled into his lungs, William gradually smelled a sense of 'despair'. When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had completely changed.
There are no lotus leaves on the lake at all, but rather flakes of flesh and blood peeled off from the human body, which are constructed together to form a flesh lotus.
A coffin is buried at the deepest part of the lake, and its surface is covered with mysterious sealing symbols. The entire lake is also filled with the special aura exhaled by the old man.
Uh... Uh... Uh~ let me out
William also heard intermittent, harsh bubbling sounds, as if a rotten corpse was speaking into his ear.
