Chapter 314: A Nightmare Embodied in Reality
The so-called City of Stars is the collective name for the astrolabe that spreads for kilometers and the towers built by the Typhon family. Those towers were the places where the Typhon family lived and lived in their daily lives.
Qi Rui commented: "You know that the astrolabe is polluting you, but you still live near this strange thing, and the word death is no longer enough to describe your courage. ”
In this regard, Edith reluctantly agreed. The first tower they came to was empty, and nothing was found except for some shredded furniture.
Maybe it's not appropriate to say this, after all, Dong Bin is very keenly aware of a very terrible thing - those torn furniture, its cracks seem to have been directly torn off by human fingers, and coagulated blood stains can be seen in some broken places.
Dong Bin felt that he probably didn't want to know what terrible things had happened here.
The second one, still empty, also has some traces of destruction similar to those of careful thought. Block 3, Block 4, Tower 5......
They didn't find a single person, not even a body.
They had already known before they came, and it was clear whether the Typhon family was in big trouble, or if it was a big trouble that could not be solved by internal forces at all, and the slightest carelessness would spread to the whole world.
So they already had a lot of guesses about the scene in the City of Stars in advance. Whether it's corpses strewn across the field, giant spiders roaring and pounced, or people mutated and unspeakable monsters, approaching little by little with bloodthirsty desires...... They all have countermeasures.
But they didn't expect that they would be greeted by a silence, a silence soaked in despair.
The most terrifying thing is always the unknown, they have no idea what happened here, and they have no way of guessing where the Typhon people went, they only face the fact that every corner they searched was empty.
Edith didn't say a word, and the others were amusefully silent. It's just that Dong Bin can clearly feel that Edith's wrist holding his neck is getting harder and harder.
"There should be someone here." Qi Rui suddenly broke the silence and pointed to a tall tower not far away, which was located in the very center of the entire City of Stars, twice as tall as the others, "I can sense some thin human mental activity. ”
"That's right...... Yes! Edith raised her head anxiously, "It's my father's residence, it's the hall for the whole family's meeting, and it's also a refuge in case of emergency!" Everyone...... They must all be hiding there! ”
"Then let's go......" Dong Bin's words stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and he clearly saw that a huge and transparent spider's long legs stepped past his eyes, and disappeared again before he could react to what was happening.
Shudder.
"What the hell...... Although I heard you say it, when I really saw this scene, it was really terrifying...... "Dong Bin exhaled a mouthful of white mist, "Your nerves are really strong enough, and you still have the courage to live in such a strange place." ”
Qi Rui also saw that scene, and because of his own level, he also saw more.
"Strange...... Why can't I perceive it? Qi Rui muttered to himself, squatted down, slowly stroked the smooth surface of the astrolabe with his hand, and looked at the lines thoughtfully.
"Attention
What's up? Ye Ruoxue bent down and asked.
"There's something I'm concerned about, I'm going to keep checking it out here, so let's go first." Qi Rui didn't raise his head, his gaze moving along the lines in fascination.
"That's good." Ye Ruoxue agreed, they were close friends a hundred years ago, and now they have been acting together for a long time, and the two have some tacit understanding.
Dong Bin carried Edith on his back, Ye Ruoxue followed behind them, and the group walked towards the tallest tower. Qi Rui still lowered his head, carefully studying the strange lines on the astrolabe.
"No, I can't feel it...... If that little girl is right, there is an evil spirit inhabiting the astrolabe, I should be able to sense the fluctuations in its consciousness...... It can't be, it's so high that I can't even perceive it, but why, I can only see the energy flowing through those lines like blood here, but I can't feel the core that dominates the energy at all? ”
Mental power dragged his body, causing Qi Rui to levitate in the air, condescending, he looked at the huge spider-shaped pattern formed by the lines on the surface of the astrolabe, thoughtful.
"Perhaps, it's not an evil spirit sealed here at all...... They've been ...... all the time."
……
"I'm going to open the door, get ready." Dong Bin whispered, pressing his hand on the door.
"Well, no matter what's inside, I can handle it!" Edith pretended to be strong and said, but the arm she held Dong Bin's neck hard revealed the tension in her heart.
The black hair was wrapped around the waists of the two, and Ye Ruoxue stood more than ten meters away, waiting for Dong Bin's signal with all her attention.
This is the result of their discussion, and they all know very well that in this strange environment, any unexpected situation is possible, and it is even possible to fall into that tower without a sound or struggle. So in the end, it was decided that Ye Ruoxue would stay outside, wrapping Dong Bin and Edith with her black hair, and once there was danger over there, Dong Bin would send a signal, and at that time she would pull the two out with all her might.
In such a strange place, you can't be too careful.
The lesson of being too confident in his own strength and almost annihilating the whole army had already been experienced once in the dock dominated by Xiao Lian.
Dong Bin took a deep breath and pushed the door open. The hall was pitch black, all the windows were dyed black by unknown paint, and the only light shone in through the open doorway.
In the darkness of the emptiness, there was a tooth-aching chewing sound, accompanied by some scraping sounds, as if something was rubbing the bones with its teeth.
Like a hungry wolf feeding around its prey in the dark night of the wilderness.
It was pitch black, Dong Bin had expected it, he picked up the portable lamp, slowly pressed the switch, and the soft light illuminated the entire hall.
"I rely on ......" Dong Bin almost immediately realized that the situation in front of him was more outrageous than any situation he could imagine, and it made people feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts.
The disemboweled, disemboweled, polar bear lying on its back on the ground, its snow-white hair stained red with blood, and the bare white flesh was full of bite marks, and the ferocious predator was now pulling out the polar bear's still trembling heart with both hands, and stuffing it into his mouth almost greedily.
"That's him...... Oh my God......" Dong Bin never thought that it would be this person, him
I felt my throat squirm a few times, and a feeling of sick to my stomach was so strong that he almost threw up.
"Daddy......" Edith felt a shudder from her soul, and for a moment it seemed as if the whole world was spinning.
The man who was feasting on the beast was none other than the head of House Typhon and Edith's father, Constantine Typhon, whom both were looking for.
Dong Bin still remembers that when Jiang Luo himself had met this exceptional person, at that time he was holding an old book and muttering the language that dominated the starlight, like a sage who had walked out of the endless history, and the whole person had a kind of detachment that saw through the world.
However, that detachment was so beaten to the dust, and he was like a simple and bloodthirsty beast at the moment.
Edith struggled to pull the two off his back, and he helped the crumbling Edith to her feet: "Don't go over, I still don't understand your father's condition." ”
"I'm ......" Edith looked blankly at the man who was still eating, feeling a sense of helplessness.
At this moment, the sudden light illuminated the entire hall, and even some dazzling light made the two of them even have to squint their eyes for a while.
"Are you turning on the lights...... Oh my God......" Dong Bin's first reaction was that Edith turned on the lights in this hall, but what he saw next made all his superfluous thoughts melt away - I can't remember how many times I have sighed like this today, but this time, it was definitely the most terrifying, and even overshadowed the shock of seeing Konstantin at once.
All floors of the tower were demolished, and in their place were dense transparent cobwebs. The light shining down from the top of the tower is refracted into colorful patterns of spider webs, and also illuminates the people wrapped in transparent spider webs, who are like sleeping babies in a "cocoon" made of spider silk.
"Everybody......" Edith opened her mouth, the top-heavy delusion intensifying. Everything is clear, the family members I have been looking for are here. She found the person she had always wanted to find, but she didn't feel a glimmer of joy.
It's not that my group can't perceive the specific form of the disaster, but that the disaster has already happened, the evil spirit has already come, and everything has already settled.
"I didn't turn on the lights...... However, the lighting here was turned on by itself when it sensed my presence, and I originally thought that this sensor device was broken, but now it seems to be only a little sluggish......" Edith heard herself explain mechanically to Dong Bin in a dream-like voice. The girl had almost stopped thinking, and was simply mechanically stimulating her reaction to the outside world.
"Shh Dong Bin covered Edith's mouth, his expression was highly nervous, and he seemed to be ready to send a signal to Ye Ruoxue at any time, asking Ye Ruoxue to pull them out immediately.
What's wrong? Is there anything weirder and more dangerous here than his father?
Edith followed Dong Bin's gaze and looked upward, so she looked directly at the unexpected and reasonable existence, and looked directly at the terrifying existence that she had seen countless times in the cursed nightmare.
In the center of the dense spider web, surrounded by a human cocoon, the transparent and hideous giant spider put its eight legs on the spider web, curled up, and seemed to be still sleeping.
