0199 Chapter 4 The End of the Ordinary (Section 70)
Navis staggered slowly towards the light.
She didn't know what the darkness she was in meant, nor what kind of danger the light in this darkness meant.
After a few minutes, leaving a trail of blood all the way, she finally stood in front of that ball of light.
What shines is a lantern hanging on the shoulder strap, and the light emits a mysterious blue-purple halo. Naturally, such light cannot come from burning flames or electricity. This is the brilliance of arcane magic.
The upper body of the owner of the lantern was covered in blood and flesh, and he was completely unrecognizable from what he looked like before he was born. But judging from the watch chain hanging around his waist, he was obviously a Scarry elite who was photographed by Cai Pixiu in the air during a previous battle.
In other words, this lantern is an extraordinary item created by its owner through his extraordinary alchemy and enchantment skills.
Based on the extraordinary characteristics of the Scarry family, most of the magical effects of this thing will be lost after it leaves the hands of its owner.
The iconic linked watch that allows people to control gravity at will, falling into the hands of outsiders, is just a series of accurate clocks that can count tens of thousands of minutes and seconds without any energy.
And this lantern is not much different. To Navis, it is just an ordinary lamp that cannot be charged and will never go out.
However, it was such an extraordinary item with extremely ordinary functions that saved Navis' life. First, her own mobile phone had been lost in the previous troubles.
Without light, there was no way she could find the infirmary in the Scarry base before she lost the ability to move.
The second is that although the mysterious light of this arcana looks equally ordinary, cannot shine very far and is shrouded in a halo of mist, it is the same as the torches, mobile phones, flashlights, and cars that people use to illuminate themselves in panic.
Headlights are different and will not trigger some mysterious twisting power in the darkness.
Navis took off the lantern from her shoulder strap and held it in her hand. She also did not forget to search for the ID card from the corpse. This thing would probably play a great role in her journey to find the medical room.
The extraordinary people under the command of the Scarry family are not rare, but they are not that numerous. A warrior with such status cannot at least not have the authority to enter the medical room alone.
The next process went extremely smoothly. If it were an ordinary soldier, nine out of ten would die from serious injuries that gradually worsened. But Navis is not an ordinary soldier, she is first and foremost a first-rate detective.
So through the clues left at the scene, she quickly found the traces left by the Saints when they left Scarry Castle after the war, and worked backwards to find an entrance to the underground base.
This is not an easy task, but it is not as impossible as most people imagine. Because in the later stages of the battle, by the time [The Furious Audience] broke out with Zhen Cheng and four others, all the participants who could escape had already run away.
, including most of the officials and logistics personnel in the underground base of Scarry Castle.
The ensuing battle between the gods and the large mecha piloted by Cai Pixiu was no less extensive and destructive than several consecutive nuclear explosions. All combatants who had not had time to evacuate, no matter which force they belonged to, were all shattered.
, no one will survive.
The so-called war actually translates to [furious audience] hanging Cai Pixiu up and beating her up, and she was furious. Therefore, these destructions were basically caused by evil spirits, making the Navis directly below them become the eye of the hurricane.
The only survivor survived.
After entering the underground base, Navis found that the damage here was quite serious, and the buildings were indeed deserted. As he explored the first floor, he saw collapsed rooms and corpses everywhere.
Fortunately, she finally found the infirmary, which was basically well-preserved. It contained a high-tech medical cabin that spanned the ages. It was also separated from the paralyzed base power grid and could be used independently.
Six hours later, Navis opened the hatch, stood up from the medical cabin, and began to put on the tattered clothes he had left beside him when he entered.
The trauma on her body has healed, but the broken arm bones and ribs will need to heal slowly on their own over a longer period of time.
The end of the treatment was not because the energy in the medical cabin was exhausted, but because Navis terminated it on his own initiative after ensuring his own life safety and ability to move.
After all, no matter how slow a person is, they should react by now and realize that something is wrong.
Even if Scarry, the owner of the base, has collapsed and his rule of less than tens of thousands of years has been destroyed, then the victor should always come down to receive the spoils and clean up the mess, right?
As a detective who dared to risk his life for commissions, Navis didn't believe that someone attacked Scarry just because they were unhappy and wanted to kill them all.
Even if the reason for the war really stems from pure hatred rather than profit. After the war, would anyone be willing to empty Scarry's inventory?
Tens of thousands of years of accumulation. One-third of the world's wealth, knowledge, secrets, occult items... Anyone, as long as they are on this planet, can definitely find it from Scarry's legacy.
Something that moved him.
In this case, why would no one occupy this place and declare their victory and ownership of the spoils?
There is only one answer, and that is that something more terrifying and troublesome happened outside, leaving the victor with no time to enjoy his victory.
Thinking of this, Navis in the medical cabin couldn't sit still. She knew better than most people in the world about what might happen today.
The end...that was the reason why she followed Zhen Cheng all the way until she was seriously injured here.
When he first entered the medical cabin, Navis was already not very awake, so he failed to notice some very important things.
But when she came out after receiving treatment, she found that she seemed to have missed something important.
It was a door at the end of the corridor. It was ajar, and you could see a straight corridor behind the door. Like most of the surrounding rooms, there was blood flowing out from under the door. No matter how you looked at it, it looked ordinary.
It was the lantern in his hand that led Navis to the door. There was something on the door, or rather inside the door, that resonated with the extraordinary power that constructed the lantern and attracted each other.
Navis stepped into a corridor that was full of science fiction and was incompatible with the architectural structure of the entire underground base, and then opened the room at the end of the corridor.
This is a bar. Comfortable sofas, a huge crystal ball, and rows of drinks on the wine rack that Navis has never seen in his life.
There were several white-haired old men scattered on the ground, dressed in extremely expensive clothes. Navis even recognized a few of them. They were all elders of the Scarry Presbyterian Church, the power holders on the top floor of the building.
Following the attraction of the lantern, Navis' eyes fell on the wine rack. In an instant, she opened her mouth wide and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground.
Some wine bottles contain scenery. Navis can see dim cities under lights, unknown villages and towns wandering in the distance, dark streets... They are all places that this bar can directly connect to, located in
Exits to some distant corner of the world.
These are just a few of them. For more, you can see an environment like a secret room, with entire rooms full of gold jewelry, a large number of ancient books with shimmering light, and weapons with exaggerated shapes...
…
Each bottle of wine corresponds to a warehouse that does not exist in the world and can never be stolen.
Navis swallowed hard. Even the fact that the outside world might have been shrouded in doom no longer seemed so important.
