A huge eye hung high in the night sky, replacing the original moon. There were no stars, and the entire dark sky had only an eye that occupied almost half.
That eye is alive.
The black eyeballs rolled around, and at this moment, both Lin Chu and Lu Yanli felt a palpitation in their hearts.
Miraculously, Lu Yanli's headache symptoms gradually eased. He raised his head and looked into that eye.
There was an endless whirlpool in the black eyeball, which kept spinning, as if looking for something. It spun for a long time, and finally, it met Lu Yanli's eyes.
For a moment, it seemed as if time stood still.
Lu Yanli just felt that the eye was extremely familiar.
Lin Chu's scalp was tingling. This scene was too weird, especially the way Lu Yanli suddenly stood still, which made her have bad associations.
The truck was still moving at a high speed. She pushed Lu Yanli hard, and the latter came to his senses, sat up straight and slowed down the speed.
The swarm of insects, so dense that it almost covered the sky, crackled on the windows and fell to the ground. As the wheels rolled over them, you could hear the sound of beetles breaking into pieces and bursting into thick pulp.
"Strange, there are so many bugs here, but why can we still see this thing?" Lin Chu wondered. She looked up at the sky through the gap outside the window. The eye was still there, as if it was staring at them.
When Lin Chu saw it, she couldn't help but feel fear from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't control this feeling and could only force herself to look away.
"Where to next?" she asked.
Lu Yanli: "Let's leave first. I don't think we can save this city anymore."
He stared at the tunnel getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror and suddenly asked, "Don't you think this tunnel is familiar?"
He passed through a tunnel when he entered the psychic town. Did these people do the same
Lin Chu was reminded by him and suddenly realized: "When we entered the Psychic Town, we passed through an almost identical tunnel!"
When you think about it, it's all like... After passing through the tunnel, you come to a new area.
What if I were to transfer again now? Would I end up in another world
Compared with the eye in the sky, the ubiquitous green light spots on the other side did not seem so scary. He did not know where his headache came from, so he wanted to give it a try.
"I'm going to turn around. What about you?" Lu Yanli asked. His hands were already turning the steering wheel.
“You’re leaving? Why?” Lin Chu was surprised.
"Let's try it."
Lin Chu had no strong reason to stay in this city, and the steering wheel was in his hands. She thought for a while and decided to continue observing Lu Yanli's whereabouts, so she acquiesced.
No one noticed that the eye had grown a little bigger.
It's like... it's getting closer.
It is indeed getting closer...
"A new group of investigators has been sent in and are tracking the situation at all times."
"Okay. Remember to keep in touch at any time. As long as you can successfully collect an item, it will be a success!"
"No, as long as they come safely, it's fine."
"Our biggest problem now is that the objects in containment are interfering with each other, and the anomalies are superimposed. Time and space are completely disordered. According to initial speculation, multiple spaces may have been created. It is very difficult to track them."
"There is no way to deal with the difficulty. We have sent out at least seven A-level personnel. So far, only two are alive."
On the display screen, amidst a chaotic array of images, two moving red dots appeared, representing signs of life.
"They've already entered."
"The investigators who went to the first layer of space can return, but they lost signs of life when they returned and did not bring back any clues. None of the investigators who entered the second layer of space returned, and there was no contact. It is reasonable to suspect that there are new anomalies in the second layer, so I applied to use..." Before he could finish his words, another person grabbed him by the collar excitedly.
"You applied to use it? On what basis do you apply to use it? Didn't we agree not to bring any items in? If you lose it again this time, what will be the consequences? Do you know?"
"Even if we don't take the risk, the collapse of the inner world will affect us sooner or later. We might as well give it a try." The man whose collar was grabbed was very calm, looking directly at his partner, "She is inert and won't lose control easily. Even if she does, the impact won't be too great. What's more, ten A-level personnel were sent at once this time, and I trust them."
"I hope so." The man was furious and took back his hand, "I must bring her here."
"Yes." The other person smiled faintly.
"Where are you going?" a girl asked slowly.
From the back, she looked very ordinary, with an ordinary figure. Oh no, if we didn't ignore the fact that she was three people tall... She was wearing a very inconspicuous skirt whose original color could not be seen. The skirt was very long and covered the ground.
From the front, she has no facial features or ears, like a human model that has just been carved. I don't know which part of her body makes the sound.
She spoke too slowly. It took her about an hour to say just three words. The staff around her were used to it and answered at a normal speed: "We need your help."
"... OK." There was another slow response. The girl lowered her head very slowly and followed them obediently.
Anyway, she just needs to go with him and not worry about anything else.
Slowness and stability are her greatest characteristics. Sometimes she is brought in to appease some abnormalities that have gone berserk because they were not contained in time.
The private plane carrying more than a dozen people flew into the distance. The sky was blue and the weather was particularly good today, without a single cloud. Soon, they saw the sea.
The surging sea was as blue as the sky. However, since a few decades ago, no fishermen had appeared here. Various countries strictly blocked the coastline and heavily guarded it to prevent those strange creatures in the sea from coming up.
Although the sea now looks clear and clean, every drop of sea water is filled with hundreds of mutated bacteria and nuclear radiation that are enough to kill humans.
The plane circled in the sky for a few circles and slowly descended. Gradually, creatures in the sea began to appear, staring at the metal flying object in the air with eager eyes.
"Damn it, where did that island go again?" The driver couldn't help complaining after searching for a long time without finding a place to stay.
The next second, the plane suddenly lifted its head and flew into the sky. The passengers leaned back and looked down.
A creature jumped high in the sea. If the plane hadn't dodged quickly, it would have hit it. It looked like a fish, with a sharp snout and broad gills. It was about fifty meters long, but very flexible. Its skin was uneven and covered with warts. It didn't pounce on its prey, but its long tail covered with dark brown hair angrily slapped the water surface and dived back into the sea.
The moment it entered the water, the driver saw the familiar mark on its tail.
"It mutated too quickly. Half a month ago, it was only thirty meters."
"Keep looking, it should be waking up. Try to communicate with it."
"Trying, unable to communicate at the moment."
The plane was circling over the ocean. They stared with wide eyes, trying to find the only island they could land on from the window and the display screen. The pilot needed to wait on the island to send them back. But now, the island was nowhere to be found!
When flying to the middle of the ocean, the pilot increased the altitude again.
There is a small whirlpool in the middle of the sea.
The vortex was only about ten meters wide, and when you flew to a certain height, you couldn't even see it. But no one dared to approach the vortex that had appeared since the beginning of the world's change.
It is said that it leads to another world.
The pilot circled far away and continued flying.
"Wait! What is this?!" he exclaimed.
A small island appeared in front of them, which was exactly the place they were looking for. The pilot was delighted. After moving towards the island, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the island.
The plane stopped at an altitude of 800 meters, but it was just in the middle of the phantom. But... they didn't even notice the phantom just now!
"It is this!" One of the A-level personnel recognized its appearance. He did not say the number and name of the item because as soon as he said it, it would be sensed.
Being targeted by it is not a good thing.
One of them immediately contacted the headquarters and passed on the information.
I don't know whether to call it a good thing or a bad thing. The good thing is that they finally found a clue to one of the contained objects. The bad thing is that it is obvious that these things are already using their influence to interfere with the real world.
"Zhuang Ci! You are most familiar with it, so you will lead the exploration this time."
"yes!"
After the woman named Zhuang Ci answered, she immediately said, "Back off now and go around it!"
She was wearing the most sophisticated protective suit, revealing only a pair of eyes. Her body, covered by the suit, was densely covered with familiar red marks from her face to the back of her feet.
It was a huge, bright red, distorted shadow. It was hard to imagine how high it was. All they could see was an illusory red. The plane circled for a long time before it barely got to its back. Then, they carefully prepared to land.
This containment object is different from the others, its phantom is its true body, and its favorite thing to do is to create an entity for itself, distort people's minds, confuse people's memories, and make people make wishes to it.
And every wish made for it is fulfilled in some distorted form.
"Now, it's up to you. You must make it calm down." The staff instructed the girl lying flat on the ground.
She was three people tall, so she couldn't sit in the seat, so she could only lie down. Fortunately, she really liked lying down, and even when she lay down, her skirt still covered her legs tightly. Hearing the staff's instructions, she hummed very slowly.
Lu Yanli was about to turn back to the tunnel when something unexpected happened.
The road was not very long, but after he turned around, he could not reach the end. The tunnel entrance was just around the corner, but he could not enter no matter what he did. It was like a ghost wall.
The swarms of flying insects around were also going crazy, attacking the truck they were riding in frantically, crashing into the glass and the metal of the truck continuously, making crackling sounds. Some of them were killed on the glass, and strangely colored liquid was dripping off them, blocking their view.
And that eye... was closer to them.
