The moment he passed through the portal, Hao Ren felt that everything in all directions had undergone earth-shaking changes. It was not just as simple as coming to a strange place, this change even gave people the illusion of suddenly falling into another world. . He felt that every one of his senses was shifted at that moment, the surrounding breath, gravity, temperature, and the atmosphere brought by the whole space... The moment he stepped on this disaster corridor, he realized I have come to a place that is almost alien. Although this is a part of Ancatero's domain, this space has been completely heterogeneous.
Immediately afterwards, a chill that almost penetrated into the bone marrow suddenly struck.
Hao Ren shivered. He thought he was being attacked, but soon he discovered that it was just a chill, and this chill was not real, but some kind of huge, indescribable force was spying on this place. On the other side, the hostility and coercion of this force gave him the illusion of falling into an ice cave.
"What a ghost place..." Hao Ren murmured to himself, using his own voice to dispel the uneasiness in his heart. He looked around and saw that he was standing in a deep corridor with no end in sight. It is expected to be narrower, but it has a very high, gutter-like sloping roof, and tattered curtains hang down from the sloping roof. Although there is no wind, these curtains still hang slightly in the air. swing. The entire corridor is made of huge black stones, without any decorations or bright colors. What you can see with your eyes is only depression, as if the color has been removed from here.
But the corridor was not completely dark. A faint light from nowhere was evenly distributed in the air, allowing Hao Ren to see the situation inside. He noticed that there was a layer of mist in the corridor. The texture of this mist was similar to that of The dense fog he saw when he first entered the Ancatero Secret Realm was very similar.
Footsteps came from behind, and Yizaks and the others also teleported to this place. Like Hao Ren, Hasu felt the abnormal atmosphere here. He held a crossbow in one hand and a rune card in the other, and said in a very serious tone, "Do you feel it?"
Y'zaks replied in a low voice: "Well, a powerful force is entrenched here. It is spying here, but it can't sense its specific location. This force seems to be scattered throughout the space. I'm afraid it's those The matrix of the Shadows of Chaos, if they have a matrix."
Vivienne was the last to come in, and she also frowned, but after hearing the conversation between Hasselblad and Y'zaks, she was a little baffled: "Great power? Is there any? Why don't I feel it?"
"You can't feel it?" Hao Ren looked at Vivienne in surprise, "I can feel it, goose bumps all over my body."
"I just think the atmosphere in this place is terrible." Vivian shrank her neck uncomfortably, "It's not just the darkness, but the feeling that something is lurking in all directions, but other than that, it's gone."
Hao Ren and Yizaks looked at each other. They all clearly felt that there was something powerful and indescribably entrenched in this space. Although it could not be described in words, the feeling of being stared at by that thing made the hairs stand on end. There was no mistake, but the always sensitive Vivienne doesn't feel anything here, which is a bit abnormal.
"I don't know what's going on." Vivian also knew that Hao Ren and the others wouldn't lie, and her expression became serious, "It seems that my perception has deviated from yours... There are two possibilities. Either this space is different, Different people perceive different things here. Either the problem is me."
Vivienne's second guess was not stated clearly, because she knew that there were simply too many strange things about herself, and it was completely clueless to explain. But she guessed that the problem this time might be related to her success in sealing the shadows of chaos thousands of years ago: if she could ignore the abnormal atmosphere in this space, maybe she really had the chance to re-seal those shadows.
There is only one path in the corridor. Vogus is right. This labyrinth in the shadows is used to trap those irrational creatures. People with normal senses cannot see the countless monsters scattered throughout the labyrinth here. Sideways and pitfalls. After calming down a little, Y'zaks and Hao Ren took the lead and walked towards the depths of the seemingly endless corridor.
Mist and dim light obstructed the line of sight of the group. But Hao Ren and the others are not ordinary people, so they can see the situation clearly here. And they didn't dare to make any light at will: light creates shadows. And the shadow will attract those shadows of chaos, which will increase the danger instead.
The special feature of the shadows of chaos is that they are not simply lurking in the darkness, but lurking in the shadows intertwined with light and darkness at the same time, so the overall darkness in the corridor is safe: without light, the shadows will also be dark. Can't stand out anymore.
This is probably one of the sealing methods of this "Dark Labyrinth".
The corridor of disaster is long and winding. Straight corridors and corners appear again and again, but there is no sign of the end. Hao Ren can only vaguely judge that he is indeed walking in a maze based on the distribution of these corners: The shape is much like a winding path in a maze. He guessed that there must be countless forks and secret doors hidden on the seemingly complete and smooth wall passing by him, but because he was conscious, he could not detect these invisible paths.
Maybe after being infected by the Shadow of Chaos, you can see those hidden paths
This unreasonable thought suddenly popped up in Hao Ren's mind, and he quickly shook his head to get rid of this dangerous thought.
This weird space is so oppressive that it makes his thoughts also become strange.
Yzaks was walking beside Hao Ren, and he stroked the black rocks on the corridor wall with his hands: "This space has been completely heterogeneous, these stones... They were originally stones, but now they feel like living things. greasy feeling, but their material has not changed, and the surface is not covered by anything, what has changed is this field, which is distorting the nature of these stones."
"How long have we been walking?" Hasselblad asked suddenly.
Hao Ren took the data terminal out of his pocket to check the time: "It's almost two hours, this place is quite big."
As soon as the data terminal was pulled out, it quickly lowered its brightness: "Shhh - tell this machine before you take it out, so that this machine can get ready."
Hasselblad was stunned, and suddenly pointed at the data terminal: "You still brought this in? Didn't it mean that there are only four of us..."
"This should be fine, right?" Hao Ren scratched his hair. "It's not affected by the Shadow of Chaos, and although it's a loose mouth, we don't need to count it as the number of people, because it's an AI..."
The data terminal slammed on Hao Ren's forehead: "You are not human!"
Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal: "Are you human?"
"This machine is not human."
"Then you are jerking and crooked!"
"Oh yes."
Hasselblad: "..."
"So I advise you not to study these weird things on Hao Ren." Vivienne glanced at Hasselblad, "Just treat him like a doraemon and know that he is amazing, and don't pursue his pockets." rationality of anything."
Hao Ren: "..."
In any case, the interruption of the data terminal did a good job of slightly dispelling the depressive atmosphere lingering around. After Hao Ren stuffed the alloy plate brick into his pocket, he looked up at the still long corridor in the distance. He could still feel the powerful "survival power" still surging around him, but he couldn't feel himself at all. Is it really close to the body of that power
It's as if the space is infinitely extended.
But this seemingly endless corridor still has its limit. After going on for another hour, Hao Ren noticed a change in the surrounding situation: the corridor began to become wider, and the corners were also decreasing. Close to the heart of this huge building.
A door suddenly appeared in front of it. A oppressive, chaotic, terrifying, hatred and hostility atmosphere came from behind the door. Hao Ren and the others exchanged glances and ran towards the door immediately.
"There are words on it!" Vivienne seemed to be completely unaffected by the surrounding aura. While Hao Ren and the others were waiting for the aura coming from the gate, she observed the stone door with great interest, and said A few words engraved on the lower part of the gate were found. Surprisingly, it was not Tanagus script, but the ancient Leta script:
"...an eternal curse has come upon us. We exiles from foreign lands are burdened with heavy sins. We are destined to fall into endless fighting and be controlled by hatred without root and reason... this door Behind it is the cause and condition of all sin and curse, yet no one can undo it or appease it, for both the perpetrator and the victim of this sin are dead, and no one can forgive anything."
