In front of him was a huge pothole, where countless cracks and crazy airflow originated.
Not only that, in this pothole, a thick, dirty black air rose into the sky, which was also mixed with all kinds of terrifying reptiles and bugs that had never been seen before. They kept flying or jumping out of the pothole, wandering around unscrupulously. on the ground. Compared with these monsters, the Nightmare Insect is simply insignificant. And at the edge of the pothole, Jiang Cheng saw the source of the screams.
There were two women with the faces of Chu Xueying. Jiang Cheng was almost certain that they were Xue and Ying. At this time, Xue and Sakura's bodies had been eaten to pieces by those monsters. The ground was covered with blood, and monsters kept rushing towards them greedily!
Jiang Cheng's heart was filled with grief and anger. He ignored Chu who was chasing after him and rushed over with all his strength, struggling with the group of monsters like crazy.
However, the number of those monsters was huge, and Jiang Cheng's attacks were like worms shaking a tree. Soon he himself was covered by the wave of these hateful and evil monsters.
The severe physical pain and the heart-piercing psychological pain made Jiang Cheng roar uncontrollably.
Just before sinking into darkness, Jiang Cheng suddenly heard a strange noise, and in the dim world, a glimmer of light that could only be found in the surface world suddenly appeared.
However, the light only appeared for a moment.
Then, Jiang Cheng's consciousness became blurred, and finally fell into eternal silence.
"Jiang Cheng? How are you?"
The voice was somewhat familiar, but Jiang Cheng, who was in a daze, couldn't identify whose voice it was.
Opening his eyes, Xu Dingjia's face appeared in his field of vision.
"You..." Jiang Cheng opened his mouth subconsciously, but didn't know what to say.
"What am I?" Xu Dingjia looked at Jiang Cheng doubtfully.
Jiang Cheng recalled everything just now, looked at himself, his body was intact, and his limbs were healthy, and he asked blankly: "Am I still alive?"
"Nonsense, of course you are alive." Chu Xueying said coldly. Listening to this tone, Jiang Cheng was sure that the other party was Ying, not the Chu who had been pestering him just now.
Jiang Cheng was still worried and asked tentatively: "Are you... still alive?"
Chu Xueying took a deep breath, as if she was about to have an attack.
Xu Dingjia quickly stopped between the two of them and said to Chu Xueying: "He just had a nightmare, don't be like him."
"Nightmare?" Jiang Cheng's thoughts gradually returned to smoothness, but he still remembered the scene very clearly, and it didn't look like a dream at all.
"Have you forgotten?" Xu Dingjia explained, "When you escaped, you were bitten by the nightmare bug."
"What about the bug?" Jiang Cheng finally woke up and asked nervously, "Have you been bitten by that bug?"
"If we are bitten, can we still stand here peacefully?" Chu Xueying said angrily.
"Okay, it's just a little bug, can't we deal with it?" Xu Dingjia said, pointing his finger to the ground.
Jiang Cheng saw a pool of disgusting and turbid liquid on the ground, and the evil nightmare insect was already dead. However, he suddenly felt that the pile of corpses of the Nightmare Insects looked so familiar. It was as if he had seen exactly the same traces.
"In a nightmare?" Jiang Cheng remembered it, then shook his head and said to himself: "It's impossible. It should be just an illusion that occurs when dreams are similar to reality."
In fact, people do often have similar illusions. This feeling is called "déjà vu" in Chinese or Japanese. It is an experience in which humans feel that a certain scene seems familiar when they are awake. One explanation is that people have had similar experiences in dreams, but they do not remember them clearly. However, at a certain moment, after that memory is stimulated, this "sense of déjà vu" occurs.
After giving himself such an explanation, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Xu Dingjia still asking beside him, "How do you feel now? What kind of nightmare did you have?"
This sentence is also very familiar, Xu Dingjia said the same in the dream.
Jiang Cheng's heart became a little complicated, so he didn't discuss the issue for the time being, so he shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Xu Dingjia said again at this time, "I didn't expect that you would be fine so quickly after being bitten by the Nightmare Bug. A real person's physique is really extraordinary."
Jiang Cheng frowned tightly.
Standing up slowly, he caught a glimpse of the wall and the green lines from the corner of his eyes. He could no longer suppress the feeling in his heart, and he quickly raised his head and scanned the surroundings.
The next second, Jiang Cheng's eyes widened in shock. He could hardly believe that everything around him was exactly the same as what he saw in his nightmare!
The crescent moon device on the high platform, the cruel mural, the room with no door!
Jiang Cheng felt his heart beating wildly, and his whole body reflexively said the words he said in his nightmare, "Are we in a ruins?"
Xu Dingjia said: "Yes, after escaping from the cave, we returned to the ruins. However, here, I made a new discovery!"
"What discovery?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Look around!" Xu Dingjia said.
This conversation is still exactly the same as in the nightmare!
Jiang Cheng didn't need to look, he already knew what was around him. This was the ancient alien laboratory in the nightmare!
The familiar feeling of grief and depression struck again. Jiang Cheng felt that he had difficulty breathing again, but his mood now was far more complicated than before.
Noticing Jiang Cheng's strange behavior, Xu Dingjia quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Get out! I have to get out!" Jiang Cheng said with difficulty, looking more and more like him in the nightmare.
"I want to go out too, but we can't find the door!" Xu Dingjia said in embarrassment.
"I know!" Jiang Cheng rushed towards the corner of the wall without looking back, and sure enough, he found an imperceptible dent under the mural.
Seeing Xu Dingjia and Chu Xueying still in a daze, Jiang Cheng urged: "Come here quickly!"
Although the two felt that Jiang Cheng looked abnormal, they still approached and walked into the circle of the elevator.
Jiang Cheng kicked the dent, and just as he expected, a circular floor lifted up holding the three people.
After finally leaving the laboratory, Jiang Cheng felt much less depressed, so he sat down on the ground and breathed in the fresh air. At this time, Xu Dingjia looked inexplicably excited and kept saying: "People in ancient foreign lands actually had elevators! This is really amazing! How did you discover Jiangcheng!"
Jiang Cheng calmed down a little and sneered: "The civilization of the ancient strangers was far more than that. For example, the laboratory we were in just now, do you still remember the murals and crescent-shaped devices on it?"
"Is that a device?" Xu Dingjia thought of the crescent-shaped object on the high platform. Because he was focused on Jiangcheng before, he didn't have time to study those things.
Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "The gray object inside the crescent device is the nightmare fog preserved by the ancient strangers. What is recorded on the mural is the scene where the ancient strangers used animals and even humans to conduct experiments in the nightmare fog! The last mural is the tragic end of the surviving humans after experiencing the nightmare fog!"
"You're talking nonsense! This is impossible!" Chu Xueying heard Jiang Cheng portray her ancestors in such a heartless and crazy image, and immediately shouted uncontrollably, "Why do you slander my ancestors like this!"
