At the moment when that voice sounded, Lin Chi suddenly turned his head like an electric shock, but he didn't see anything.

The voice seemed to come from inside the wall, and after saying a word, it disappeared without a trace. Even Lin Chi, who was experienced in horror games, was taken aback.

"Who are you?" He whispered.

The other party did not answer.

A bone-chilling chill permeated the surroundings, as if a dead air rose from beneath his feet. Lin Chi waited for a while, making sure that there was indeed no one nearby, before continuing to take steps and began to walk towards the bottom of the stairs.

I don't know how long I walked, but a faint red light lit up in the darkness ahead, reflecting the stairs next to me.

Lin Chi walked over quickly, only to see a line of red text with its own light effect appear on the wall, in standard Song style, with a line of unclear meaning:

You will face the darkness within yourself.

Seeing the line of words that seemed to indicate something, Lin Chi stretched out his right hand and slowly pressed it on the line of words. And then......

Nothing happened.

"Don't you play according to the routine......" he pouted.

If this kind of text appears in a normal puzzle game, you may be summoned to a place like a fantasy land. But the map of the Ark of the Creator is obviously not so simple.

Lin Chi checked it, but didn't find any mechanism nearby, and just started to continue walking down, and saw red text on the wall again.

This time, a string of numbers of the same unknown meaning appeared:

49，29，18，222，63。

- What does this mean?

Facing that line of numbers, Lin Chi fell into deep thought, this kind of number arrangement law does not seem to him to be a password, but has a subtle similarity with the IP address arrangement method of brain-computer interface devices.

So, what the hell is this place?

Smelling the smell of disinfectant in the air, Lin Chi couldn't help but have a hint of foreboding in his heart. While battling Pandora, he had doubts about the "Ark of the Creator", and if the map was really what he thought it would be, that is, ......

Lin Chi shook his head and suppressed the terrible thoughts that had appeared in his mind. Continue slowly down the spiral staircase and move downward.

Now, you have to move forward to verify your guesses.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi also quickened his pace again, leaning on the wall all the way down, and soon encountered a scarlet cross pattern painted on the wall, as well as the following line of text:

- Do you know where you are?

"Don't be foolish." Lin Chi smiled, walked directly through the string of words, and walked down the stairs quickly.

The further down you go, the more obvious the smell of wind oil essence in the air becomes, but the strong smell has begun to suppress the smell of disinfectant water.

I don't know how long it took, a faint white light lit up in the spiral passage below, and with the help of that light, he rushed down the stairs in three steps and two steps, and Lin Chi soon entered the white light in front of him. And then......

An unbelievably bright light lit up in front of his eyes, causing Lin Chi to temporarily lose his eyesight. After a minute or so, I finally saw a blurry image.

The first thing that catches your eye is a strange-looking machine that looks a bit like a laser surgery robot in a modern hospital.

A robotic arm filled with wires and various chips stayed in the center of Lin Chi's line of sight. The mechanical arm was bent into a standard V-shape, and the flashlight emitting a strong light on the handle was aimed at the position on Lin Chi's right hand.

"Warning, the test subject has awakened." An emotionless electronic speaker snapped.

Lin Chi wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't make a sound. His mouth was held in place by a black leather mask over his face, and he could only make a muffled grunt.

- Damn.

Lin Chi secretly cursed in his heart, and struggled to move his head, trying to look down at his body.

His neck was fastened to the back of the seat by a rubber strap, and he felt suffocated just by looking down. However, the discomfort in the game is naturally much lighter than in the real world.

Almost suffocating, looking down at his body, Lin Chi found himself wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, sitting on a cold and hard silver metal chair.

His wrists, waist, and knees were bound with restraints, and his ankles were shackled in alloy and rigidly fastened to the chair.

After determining his current situation, Lin Chi, who was almost suffocating, finally raised his head again, and while gasping for breath, he turned his eyes to the back of the mechanical arm to observe the situation in this room.

The walls of this room were cast from alloy, and the incandescent light shone dangerously cold. Lin Chi soon saw that in addition to himself, there were several other people who were also tied to the metal chairs.

Not long after being defeated, "Moon Shadow Chiju" sat opposite him. The white-haired woman's body was leaning limply back in her chair, her head was listlessly drooping, her eyes were wide open, and a trace of blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth.

- She's dead.

Realizing this, Lin Chi turned his head to look at the other people next to him, and immediately found that those guys were also dead. The "Crispy Chicken Leg Burger" that was killed by himself in the duel game turned gray and white, and it was obviously completely hopeless.

In this way, the so-called twenty-three "creators" were actually reduced to materials for human experiments, and how many card games were played in the fictional "Ark of the Creators"?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi not only did not panic, but instead raised the corners of his mouth and let out a vague laugh.

This eerie "collective ward" is filled with the stench of dead bodies and the pungent smell of disinfectant water. Obviously, the strong smell that resembles the wind oil essence that appears in the Ark of the Creator is precisely to mask the smell in the ward and avoid suspicion from the "Creator" participating in the game.

- It seems that my inference is not wrong, this abnormal game really comes with a terrifying "hidden plot"!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi lowered his head and looked at the restraints on his body, and was about to find a way to break free, when he heard the sound of leather shoe heels hitting the ground behind him.

A tall man in a gray coat and a black mask on his head stepped forward, and the two brown eyeballs on his face looked at Lin Chi without blinking.

Then, a slow, logical voice slowly sounded from under the mask:

"You're smart."

Lin Chi, who couldn't speak, made a "woo" sound while looking at the guy.

Five seconds later, a long-lost red skull pattern appeared in his sight, along with a text introduction from the NPC:

"Doctor Grotesque", Heroic NPCs (Boss Level) ,???
