The moment he crossed 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 would even give people the illusion of suddenly falling into a different world.
. He felt that every one of his senses was deflected at that moment, the surrounding breath, gravity, temperature, and the atmosphere of the entire space... The moment he stepped onto the disaster corridor, he
I realized that I had arrived in an almost alien place. Although this was part of the Ancatero realm, this space was completely heterogeneous.
Immediately afterwards, a chill that almost penetrated into the bone marrow suddenly hit him.
Hao Ren shivered. He thought he was being attacked, but he soon discovered that it was just a chill, and that this chill was not real, but some huge, indescribable force that was spying on this place.
At the same time, the hostility and coercion of this force gave him the illusion of falling into an ice cave.
"What a hellish place..." Hao Ren muttered 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. This corridor
It is narrower than expected, but it has a very high, groove-like sloping roof. Ragged curtains hang down from the sloping roof. Although there is no wind, these curtains are still in the air.
Swinging slightly. The entire corridor is made of huge black stones, without any decoration or bright colors. All the eyes can see is depression, as if color has been deleted from here.
But the corridor was not completely dark. A weak light with no visible source was evenly spread in the air, allowing Hao Ren to see clearly what was going on inside. He noticed that there was a layer of mist filling the corridor. The texture of the mist was similar to that of the dark one.
It was very similar to the thick fog he saw when he first entered the secret realm of Ancatero.
The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Yzaks and others also teleported to this place. Like Hao Ren, Hasselblad felt the unusual atmosphere here. He held up the crossbow in one hand and held the rune card in the other, with a very serious tone:
"Do you feel it?"
Yzaks replied angrily: "Well, a powerful force is entrenched here. It is snooping here, but its specific location cannot be sensed. This force seems to be scattered throughout the space. I'm afraid it's those
The mother body of the Shadows of Chaos, if they have a mother body."
Vivian came in last, and she also frowned, but after hearing the conversation between Hasselblad and Yzaks, she was a little confused: "Powerful power? Is there any? Why don't I feel it?"
"You can't feel it?" Hao Ren glanced at Vivian in surprise, "I can feel it, goosebumps all over my body."
"I just think the atmosphere in this place is really bad." Vivian shrank her neck uncomfortably, "It's not just dark, but it feels like there's something lurking in all directions, but other than that, there's nothing else."
Hao Ren and Y'zaks looked at each other. They both clearly felt that there was something indescribably powerful and powerful in this space. Although it couldn't be described in words, the feeling of being stared at by that thing made people's hair stand on end.
Wrong, but Vivian, who has always been sensitive, didn't feel anything here. This is a bit abnormal.
"I don't know what's going on." Vivian also knew that Hao Ren and the others would not lie, and her expression became serious, "It seems that my perception and yours have drifted... There are two possibilities. Either there is something different in this space.
, different people will perceive different things here. Either the problem lies with me."
Vivian's second guess was not stated clearly, because she knew that there were too many strange things about her, and she had no clue to explain them. But she guessed that the problem this time might be related to her success thousands of years ago.
Related to sealing the shadows of chaos: If she could ignore the abnormal atmosphere in this space, she might really have a chance to seal those shadows again.
There is only one path in the corridor. Vogus is right. This maze in the shadows is used to trap those irrational things. People with normal sanity will not be able to see the countless monsters scattered throughout the maze.
Bifurcations and traps. After gathering their energy a little, Yzaks and Hao Ren took the lead, heading deep into the seemingly endless corridor.
The mist and dim light blocked the group's sight. But Hao Ren and the others were not ordinary people, so they could still see the situation clearly. Moreover, they did not dare to create any light at will: light will produce shadows. And shadows
It will attract those shadows of chaos, which will increase the danger.
The special thing about the shadows of chaos is that they are not simply lurking in the darkness, but in the shadows where light and darkness are intertwined at the same time. Therefore, the overall dimness in the corridor is safe: without light, the shadows are
It cannot be highlighted.
This is probably one of the sealing methods of this "Shadow Maze".
The Corridor of Disaster is long and winding, with straight corridors and corners appearing again and again, but there is no sign of the end. Hao Ren can only vaguely judge based on the distribution of these corners that he is indeed walking in a maze: the corridor's
The shape was very much like a winding path in a maze. He guessed that the smooth-looking wall he passed must have countless forks and secret doors hidden in it, but because he was sober, he could not detect these invisible paths.
Maybe after being infected by the Shadow of Chaos, you can see the hidden roads?
This unreasonable thought suddenly appeared in Hao Ren's mind, and then he quickly shook his head to get rid of this dangerous idea.
This weird space was so oppressive that it made his thoughts become strange.
Yzaks walked next to Hao Ren and stroked the black rocks on the corridor wall with his hand: "This space has been completely heterogeneous. These stones... they were originally stones, but now they feel like living things.
They have a greasy feeling, but their material has not changed, and there is nothing covering the surface. What has changed is this area, which is distorting the properties of these stones."
"How long have we been walking?" Hasselblad suddenly asked.
Hao Ren took the data terminal out of his pocket and checked the time: "It's almost two hours, this place is quite big."
As soon as the data terminal was taken out, he quickly lowered its brightness: "Shhh, tell this computer before you take it out to make this computer ready."
Hasselblad was stunned, and suddenly pointed at the data terminal: "You brought this in? Didn't you mean that there were only four of us..."
"This should be no problem," Hao Ren scratched his hair, "It is not affected by the Shadow of Chaos, and although it is quite arrogant, we can actually not count it as a number of people, because it is an AI..."
The data terminal suddenly hit Hao Ren on the head: "You are not a human being!"
Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal: "Are you human?"
"This machine is not a human being."
"Then you are so whiny!"
"Oh, too."
Hasselblad: "..."
"So I advise you not to study these weird gadgets on Hao Ren," Vivian glanced at Hasselblad, "Just treat him as a doraemon, just know that he is magical, and don't pursue what he has in his pocket.
The rationality of anything.”
Hao Ren: "..."
In any case, the interruption from the data terminal slightly dispelled the depressing atmosphere lingering around him. Hao Ren stuffed the alloy brick into his pocket and looked up at the still long corridor in the distance. He could still feel the
The "residual power" of powerful power is still surging around him, but he can't feel that he is really getting closer to the body of that power.
It's as if this space extends infinitely.
But the seemingly endless corridor had its limits after all. After continuing to move forward for another hour, Hao Ren noticed that the surrounding situation had changed: the corridor began to become wider, and the corners were also decreasing. They seemed to be moving forward.
Close to the heart of this huge building.
A door suddenly appeared in front of him. A depressing, chaotic, terrifying atmosphere, full of hatred and hostility came from behind the door. Hao Ren exchanged glances and immediately ran towards the door.
"There are words on it!" Vivian seemed completely unaffected by the surrounding aura. While Hao Ren and the others were preparing for the aura coming from the door, she observed the stone door with interest and looked at it.
A few words were found carved on the lower part of the door. Surprisingly, they were not in Tanagus script, but in ancient Laita script:
"...an eternal curse has befallen us. We exiles from a foreign land are burdened with heavy sins. We are destined to fall into endless fighting and be controlled by hatred without roots and reasons...
Behind this door is the cause and effect of all sin and curse, but no one can eliminate it or appease it, because the perpetrators and victims of this sin are dead, and no one can forgive anything."
The signature of this passage is an unfamiliar name: Cassandra the Awakened. (To be continued.)
