Bar basement.
The lights were dim, and there was a faint smell of rotting wood and a faint smell of alcohol.
The basement space is narrow, but the light still cannot illuminate every place here, especially the darkness on the walls.
On the opposite side of the dark wall is a rusty iron door.
In this quiet space, all sounds seemed very harsh, including the deliberately soft footsteps outside the door.
The footsteps got closer and stopped in front of the door.
The iron door moved, making a sound like a mournful cry. The dim light slowly shone outside the door, outlining the outlines of three figures.
"This is it." Mou Hai said softly, and he and Chen Qi walked towards the wall opposite the door.
Jiang Cheng walked into the basement and glanced around. In fact, without looking, his real-person perception is enough to understand everything here, including places beyond the sight.
Look, it's just a habitual action, but he has no intention of changing this habit.
When arriving at an unknown place, the first reaction is to look around. This is a human habit and a label that still has human attributes.
Now Jiang Cheng feels more and more that there are fewer and fewer "human" characteristics in him.
Whether it was the immortal immortal body after being combined with the high-dimensional fragments, or the temporary loss of emotions in the forbidden area, or the inexplicable infinite strength after entering the Anxiang District, it all made him feel a complicated uneasiness in his heart. This uneasiness does not come from the subconscious mind. On the contrary, the subconscious mind seems to be very accepting of this change. And Jiang Cheng also knows that if he wants to be able to help others, he must have strong power. But the price for gaining power is to lose the human part of yourself. Jiang Cheng didn't know what he would become if he continued like this.
Or perhaps, it was precisely this unknown that was the source of his uneasiness.
What caused this uneasiness was the conscious part of Jiang Cheng.
Human beings often think that the conscious mind is "I", and every action of "I" is under the influence of the subconscious mind. Because the one behind "I" who silently controls everything is the "true self".
Jiang Cheng's "self" and "true self" had serious differences at this moment.
Jiang Cheng could not resolve this disagreement, and there was no time to end it. He could only let it continue to exist until...
"Shall we continue walking?" Mou Hai asked quietly from the side.
Jiang Cheng's thoughts were interrupted, but he did not feel annoyed subconsciously. Instead, he came to his senses naturally, and what was in his mind quickly changed to the matter in front of him.
"I'm actually distracted." Jiang Cheng muttered to himself, glancing at his brows.
The next moment, the real person's perception had transferred the surrounding information to his brain.
The space is about ten square meters, dimly lit, about two and a half meters high, with soundproof walls, surrounded by collapsed shelves and broken wine bottles.
The ground was full of dust and messy footprints, and there was still a trace of residual evil spiritual power in it.
Jiang Cheng immediately knew that people often walked by here, but there were not many people. They were just a few fixed people. Fang Qinwei, Mou Hai and Chen Qi in front of him were three of them.
Following the footprints, Jiang Cheng had already noticed the existence of the secret passage. Right in front of him, there was a dark hole about two meters in diameter.
This hole was not made by man, but...
Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked forward.
The hole in the wall was broken open by brute force.
Since entering Anxiang District, Jiang Cheng has not dared to easily sense things other than people, because the inexplicable and endlessly repeated messages would plunge him into chaos. But in this basement, he subconsciously let go of his perception. Jiang Cheng didn't know why the information here was not repeated endlessly, but at this moment, he vaguely felt that the reason was related to the cave entrance in front of him.
Jiang Cheng looked deep into the cave entrance, which was pitch black, making it difficult to see how deep it was. The real person's senses cannot detect the end of the hole, which means that the power to break through the wall is unimaginably powerful.
what is that? How could there be such a powerful force
This is another unknown that troubles Jiang Cheng.
However, despite being troubled, he still noticed a clue. There was a more obscure and mysterious atmosphere in this cave, and even in this basement. Although it was extremely light, so light that Jiang Cheng wouldn't notice it unless he deliberately sensed it, he still felt a very pure aura of the ancient god from it.
Could it be that... the ancient god has been summoned to this world by them
No! If that were the case, they would have been able to do whatever they wanted.
Not an ancient god, definitely not!
But what exactly is that
Jiang Cheng doesn’t know.
But now that he has come this far, there is no point in continuing to think about it. He has only one choice.
Looking back from the entrance of the cave, Jiang Cheng noticed Mou Hai's questioning eyes.
"Let's go." Jiang Cheng said.
Mou Hai nodded, but turned to look at Chen Qi.
Chen Qi curled his lips, turned around and got into the hole first, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness. Mou Hai followed Chen Qi closely the second before he disappeared.
Seeing that the two men were already leading the way, Jiang Cheng calmed down and immediately followed them.
Although time was not too urgent, Jiang Cheng knew that the longer it was delayed, the more pressure it would put on the people outside.
According to the plan just now, Jiang Cheng and others will first sneak into the Wusheng Sect and then find the location of the cage. When that time comes, Jiang Cheng will send a message to the Heart Seal in his hand and let Cui Benshan know. After that, Cui Benshan will try his best to attract the attention of the Wusheng Sect, so that Jiang Chengyou can rescue everyone and take them to evacuate from the secret passage...
At this moment, Cui Benshan and others were lurking somewhere in the street, waiting for information from Jiang Cheng.
Although the secret passage is safe, no one can be 100% sure that there is no one guarding it. At this time, the two groups of people are separated and can only communicate to a limited extent, and each other's information is unknown.
The unknown is fear.
The moment he stepped into the cave entrance, Jiang Cheng's vision suddenly went dark. Next, his vision had lost its function.
However, this is not a problem for Jiang Cheng.
In the real person's perception, Mou Hai and Chen Qi were walking step by step in front of them. Although they were careful, they were very stable and did not look like they were blind at all.
"How did they do it?" Jiang Cheng had such a question in his heart, and then he burst into laughter.
By the way, there is also sound.
They move forward by sound and memory.
But Jiang Cheng ignored this.
Realizing that he had ignored this, Jiang Cheng's heart became heavy. The darkness, which was not disturbing, also made him feel uncomfortable.
Because of the darkness, he subconsciously gave up all ordinary people's perception methods and directly replaced them with real people's perception.
At this moment, he was one step closer to being "inhuman".
Fortunately, this process is not too long.
After walking for about ten minutes, Jiang Cheng heard Mou Hai say, "If I remember correctly, I will be able to walk out soon."
Jiang Cheng looked forward. Indeed, the dark front was illuminated by a faint light from above.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, although the reasons were different.
The other two were simply afraid of the darkness, but Jiang Cheng was afraid of himself.
But no matter what, this disturbing feeling is almost over.
Jiang Cheng thought like this, even if he didn't want to, he still had to use his real person perception.
He noticed the location of the exit, and also discovered that there were several evil spiritual fluctuations at the entrance of the cave.
Chen Qi walked forward with his head down, and when he saw the light in front of him, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
He had walked this road many times, but the darkness always made him feel uncomfortable.
He felt that it was not enough to speed up his own pace. He was about to turn around and urge the two people behind him when he suddenly heard a muffled groan from Mou Hai.
"What? Did you fall?" Chen Qi asked casually, and then felt something was wrong. With Mou Hai's size, how could he make no sound when he fell to the ground
what is going on
Chen Qi turned around to check, but suddenly bumped into a pile of meat. He couldn't control his body and sat down on the ground. Chen Qi suddenly realized that he had bumped into Mou Hai.
Why didn't this man say a word
Chen Qi thought angrily as he got up from the ground.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng's cold voice came from the front, "Why is there someone at the exit?"
