"This is..."

The village chief looked at Claude's photo and wondered, "Where did you get this image?" ”

"This guy in the forest."

Leon asked, "Have you seen it?" ”

"I haven't seen it, but after Progeria became more and more severe, people in our village rarely stepped out of the village."

The village chief replied, "But I've heard of it." According to the word of mouth of my ancestors, there are many strange things lurking in the forest outside, including a strange, ugly-looking, crazy three-armed weirdo.

He's still alive?

According to time calculations, he has been around for at least two or three hundred years. ”

So long?

Leon moved in his heart, glanced at Hohenheim, and tacitly did not say that the new "medicine" promoted in the village before came from the gift of the three-armed monster Claude.

Soon, everyone came to the foot of the mountain,

I saw the village chief step out, with his back to the player, and press on a certain stone at the foot of the mountain.

Boom –

The rocks of the mountain shook suddenly, and as a large number of stones rolled down, a huge rock full of cracks and wind, slid smoothly to the left, revealing an arch entrance.

"Whew..."

The village chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and led the others into the arch to a plain stone gate.

The stone door is grayish-white, unpolished, with a rough surface and no doorknobs or keyholes.

Directly above it is a recessed vacancy, which appears to be in the shape of a cuboid.

The village chief motioned for the players to take out the stone they had obtained in the dungeon earlier, flip the bricks, and face the flowing cloud pattern outward.

Slowly stuff the bricks into the gap.

Due to the high position of the stone gate, the work of laying the masonry was completed by Ding Shinji.

When the brick is perfectly embedded in the vacancy, the flowing cloud pattern in the middle of the brick slowly lights up with a dim white light.

The stone gate shook and shook off a lot of dust.

Ding Zhenji controlled the Kui Niu Mecha and took a half step back, ready to take out the [Turtle Correction Miao] shield and stash it in front of him at any time to block the possible attack.

After a few seconds, nothing happened,

Li Ang coughed and asked the village chief, "Village chief, the key." ”

The village chief looked straight at the stone gate, stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "Oh, I'm sorry, in fact, I haven't seen the complete appearance of the Holy Mountain Gate..."

He smiled awkwardly, reached into his neckline, and pulled out a copper key with a strange shape, shaped like a slender stick,

He trotted to the stone gate and slowly attached the copper key with a large number of grooves at the top.

The bronze key did not suffer any resistance, and blended into the seemingly solid stone door.

Accompanied by a series of complex mechanical sounds that resemble a system of gears, the stone door automatically divides into two doors, one on the left and one on the right, and slides into the mountain, revealing a three-meter-high, oval aperture.

The aperture is white as a whole, and the outer ring is brighter than the inner one, constantly emitting white particles visible to the naked eye.

The particles in the outer ring float at random and irregularly, like sparks.

The particles in the inner circle, on the other hand, rotate in a counterclockwise direction as a whole, intersecting at the very middle.

Door?!

The moment they saw the aperture, the word came to mind at the same time.

The aperture behind the stone gate was almost exactly the same as the stargate they saw in the real world, except for the different colors, which were made of starlight.

The aperture is pure white, and the white particles that are constantly pouring out look like they are more unstable than the stargate.

The village chief pulled out the copper key and took a few steps back.

He took a deep breath, reflected the slowly rotating light gate in his eyes, and said in a tone mixed with complex emotions such as reverence, melancholy, and regret: "This is the gate of the holy mountain." ”

He paused and looked at the brave,

The shock of the players was understood as surprise at the gate of the holy mountain, and he said with a smile: "According to the rules set by the ancestors, I will leave first."

This door will only be open for three minutes at a time.

Ladies and gentlemen, please enter as soon as possible. ”

With that, the village chief put away the bronze key, and quietly withdrew from the hill under the arch of the village guard, and disappeared around the corner.

Ding Shinji looked at the light oval and swallowed, "This is..."

"Hmm."

Hohenheim nodded solemnly, and without explaining anything, stepped forward, came to the front of the light gate, and looked carefully.

"Behind this door, there is a simple solid mountain rock wall, and there is no more space."

Hohenheim said slowly: "In other words, this oval aperture should be some kind of teleportation array, and if you step into it, you will be teleported to another location." ”

"The target task has been updated."

David looked up and said, "My task now is to enter the holy mountain and complete the trial. ”

"Me too."

Ambori nodded, the previous mission objective of [Kill the Demonic Beast, Complete the Village Chief's Mandate, and Get the Key to the Holy Mountain] has been completed and replaced with a new text.

"Looks like you have to step into it."

Li Ang said with a deep groan, quietly releasing the group heart connection technique in the psychic ability, pulling Ding Zhenji and Liu Wuxian into the network.

[Huh? 】

Before Ding Zhenji could react, Li Ang quickly introduced what he had learned from Liu Wuxian before—the stone brick above the gate of the Holy Mountain, and the pattern engraved on it had appeared in the database of the Alien Society.

Leon: [Do you know this? 】

Ding Shinji: [Huh? I don't know. My daily job is to be researched, because my Kui Niu mecha is special, and in order to reduce the possibility of information leakage, some information that I don't need to know will not be allowed to read it. 】

Ding Zhenji's Kui Niu mecha contains the fragments of the soul of the alien beast excavated from the Demon Cave by the Special Affairs Bureau.

The pilot of the Shanhai series mecha is not only the operator of the mecha, but also the [anchor] that suppresses the fragments of the soul of the alien beast and restrains each other.

When the power of the mecha is liberated and enters the state of rage, the restriction on the fragments of the soul of the alien beast will be lifted, and the potential power of the desolate beast will be brought into play, greatly improving the performance of the mecha in all aspects, and even surpassing the limitations of the mecha itself.

However, this also has the potential negative effect that the driver may be affected by the spirit of the beast and even manipulated in the long-term struggle with the Ingenuity.

In order to reduce the risk, mountain and sea mecha pilots like Ding Zhenji are really just pilots, and they will never be let know what they shouldn't know, and their intelligence authority is lower than that of front-line operators like Xing Hechou.

Leon: [Okay. In terms of appearance, this elliptical aperture is more than 70% similar to the stargate. Considering that the pattern appeared in the Alien Society's database,

It is not ruled out that this script world is related to the possibility of different societies.

Not... Does the teleportation array over there look similar to this thing? 】

Ding Zhenji hesitated for a moment, [The teleportation array being used within the Special Affairs Bureau looks completely different from this one.

Our teleportation array, made of talismans and formations from different societies, receives continuous energy from nuclear reactor-level power generation devices.

It looks like a large cabinet, or container.

If this thing is also a portal,

It should be more advanced than the teleportation array that the Secret Service Bureau is currently using. 】

Leon: [Is that so...]

Is this aperture a replica of the stargate that the alien society has studied?

Or is this a stargate that the Alien Society has captured before?

A large number of possibilities were intertwined in his mind, Li Ang smacked his mouth, rubbed his palms, and sighed: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it."

However, since the mission objective requires us to enter the portal, it proves that behind the portal, there is no direct and lethal threat, and there will be no settings such as opening the door to kill. ”

"Hmm."

Hohenheim nodded, withdrew his gaze from the aperture, and said lightly: "Everyone will remember to turn the walkie-talkie on."

to prevent portals from teleporting us randomly to different locations. ”

With that, Hohenheim took out a walkie-talkie from the backpack bar and pressed its button.

Tie the walkie-talkie with a rope,

Then throw the walkie-talkie, like a chain ball, into the aperture.

According to the description of the [Inazuma Eleven Walkie-talkie], the No. 1 function can observe the distance from other walkie-talkies from the side, but this time, the lights of the No. 1 machine flickered without change.

"Out of the call distance..."

Hohenheim's face changed slightly, and he reached out to try to pull the rope back.

Smack.

As soon as the rope was pulled up, it broke on its own, and Hohenheim held the broken rope with a more solemn expression.

It's not that he has a headache because he can't get that walkie-talkie back,

The cross-section of the rope is extremely smooth without any roughness, as if it has been gently cut by a high-frequency cutting knife.

Can you only go in, but not out...

Hohenheim dropped the rope in his hand,

After pouring himself a few bottles of potions, the Book of Sand in his hand automatically turned the pages, releasing several group buff spells and applying them to the players.

Increases group physical resistance, group magic resistance, group underwater breathing, group night vision, group cat agility...

A circle of light of different colors immediately appeared under everyone's feet.

While drinking the potion, Hohenheim briefly introduced the effect and duration of the group buff,

After making all the preparations, everyone stepped into the aperture in turn.

————

It's now, half past five in the afternoon.

Complex, room, living room.

Miss Chai sat upright in Leon's skin, staring at the clock on the wall.

Five and a half hours, three hundred and thirty minutes, and nineteen thousand eight hundred seconds had passed since Leon teleported away.

He disappeared from the place where nothing changed,

There was no sudden bloodstain,

There is no change in smell, sound, or light.

It was as if Leon had disappeared into this room, to be erased forever.

Calm down...

Miss Chai took a deep breath and forced herself to breathe steadily.

Her sanity told her over and over again that the script tasks received by high-level players would not be easy,

Whether it's full play mode, or direct teleportation,

It can be as short as a few hours or as long as a few days.

Li Ang has only disappeared for less than six hours, maybe he is still in the script task, according to his usual habits, intermittently making abnormal actions,

Talking and laughing, solving puzzles lightly, talking nonsense, while hammering the head of the boss into the wall.

Miss Chai smiled stupidly, and the figure of Li Ang's dragon head and white coat seemed to appear in front of her.

Obviously, she is older than Li Ang both before and after death, but she always feels an inexplicable sense of security when she is by Li Ang's side.

I always feel that I can do nothing, I just need to eat and wait for death every day, and I can live in peace.

Even thinking can be given up once in a while, when a pure rice worm...

Wait, how do I feel like a dog waiting for the owner to come home?!

Miss Chai reacted suddenly, shook her head, and slapped herself lightly to bring herself to her senses.

The carefully polished skin conveys back the hot feeling of the face,

With the corner of her eye, Miss Chai swept the double-knife turkey cowering under the TV cabinet,

Fortunately, the brain worm received an order from Miss Chai before, and its eyes were cloudy, immersed in the spiritual network of the earth's brain worms, and other brain worms in different geographical locations had a fast and efficient information exchange through spiritual energy.

Activate the hive mothership, allocate troops, develop a landing raid battle plan...

She didn't notice the smirk on her face just now, and the unseemly act of slapping herself inexplicably.

Fortunately, I almost lost face in front of my subordinates.

Miss Chai breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and her heart gradually fell again.

The first command engraved in the genes of the brain worms is to obey the orders of the Creator, the Lord of Flesh and Swamp, Leon,

The second command is to obey the commands of the Holy Maiden,

The third directive is the development, reproduction and growth of the hive.

Leon did not set a grand and distant goal for the hive, and in order to facilitate control, all actions of the hive as a whole must be decided by him.

Agree on whether or not to carry out the plans developed by the brainworms.

But at the same time, Leon also formulated a backup plan,

It is determined that if he dies or disappears for a long time, the hive can continue to develop and continue to protect Miss Chai, Wang Congshan, and the human civilization on Earth.

I just don't know what the specific implementation of the backup plan looks like...

Miss Chai frowned, feeling that she had vaguely listened to Li Ang's instructions, but that day she was lying on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, smirking at the new skin of the mobile game paper man, hehehehe, she didn't listen carefully...

Tsk, the paper man mistook me!

If I forget the backup plan explained by Li Ang and cause the hive to get out of control, then you mobile game is a lot of harm, and you have to kneel down and apologize to the people of the world!

Chai Chai grinded his teeth in remorse, sighed heavily, and continued to sit upright, looking at the clock that was constantly running on the wall.

Buzz –

The mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrate,

Chai Chai was full of cleverness, rushed forward, picked up his mobile phone,

It's a pity that the caller ID is not Leon's backup number,

It's Wang Congshan.

Chai Chai raised his eyebrows and picked up the phone, "Hey? ”

"Hey, Leon?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Congshan's natural voice came, "What are you doing now?" ”
