Chapter 30: The Broken Spiritual Web

Ironically, it was guarded by a C-Class containment object, designated C-053, in the form of a mask that was constantly oozing a corrosive liquid.

Although I don't know why Huaya Heavy Industries would contain a containment object in a small world. However, since it is a containment object, it must have a corresponding danger. For example, C-053 secretes a corrosive liquid that irreversibly dissolves when the organism comes upon contact. The only way to stop this dissolution is to...... Put C-053 on your face!

No one knows what will happen with C-053 with them, as all individuals who have had physical contact with C-053 and its secretions have been secretly executed by Huaya Heavy Industries!

Due to the need to minimize C-053's contact with living organisms, the containment object has been kept in the center of the underground labyrinth. The whole labyrinth was designed by the psychology masters of Huaya Heavy Industries, and the maze was filled with a large number of psychological hints, and some mechanisms and traps were also designed very obscurely. Not to mention ordinary intruders, even if these task forces with detailed information about the maze are not careful, they may be trapped in the maze to death.

"What kind of intruder would dare to invade here? Serpent's Hand? Or ...... Church of the Broken God!? Thinking about this, I can't help but feel confused. You must know that this is a small world in the tenth solar ring, it can be said that it is the hinterland of human civilization, and the defense level is by no means comparable to the Martian containment base, and he can't think of any kind of intruder who has the courage to invade here.

What's even more comical is that since Huaya Heavy Industries has already known about the invaders in advance, why not deploy support as soon as possible? Instead, they let them be trapped beasts here, and they didn't even know if anything had happened in the small world.

"Night Raven, is there anything unusual about you?" Half-ringing, funny dialed a communication channel and asked.

"Report to the captain, everything is fine." A capable female voice came from the other end of the communication channel. Funny sound, only then did I relax slightly.

In the task force he commanded at the moment, the Night Raven was the only person he could trust 100%, after all, the Night Raven was one of his deputy captains back in the Martian containment base.

Funny thought like this, but suddenly there was a tingling in his mind, as if something was wrong with his memory. But what exactly went wrong, funny but clueless, had to give up.

At this moment, the lighting system in the entire underground labyrinth suddenly went out. Funny and frightened, he hurriedly turned on the night vision device. At the same time, a half-virtual and half-real figure immediately differentiated from his body, and involuntarily blocked in front of him.

The figure was illusory at first, but soon became solid, with a humanoid body and a cloak, but the position of the head was an orange-yellow ball, and the facial features on the ball were exactly the same as the expression of "/ squint" in a certain chat app.

"Mental image stand-in!"

What Funny is using at this moment is the ability he gained after absorbing Chu Cheng's blood, an ability similar to the mental image!

Summoning a stand-in, the comical perception of the outside world suddenly increased several times, and immediately felt the strangeness of the surrounding atmosphere.

"Is there something that has been ...... Did you break in? Funny was shocked again. During the time he had acquired the ability to be a stand-in, he had familiarized himself with and trained it more than once, and knew that the perception ability of a stand-in was several times that of ordinary people. At this moment, he shares with his stand-in senses, and is naturally able to sense things that ordinary people can't perceive.

It was a very vague feeling, seemingly windless and waveless, but funny could faintly feel that at this moment, in the darkness beyond his gaze, something was slowly gathering and emitting disgusting ...... Squirming sounds!

At this moment, a short sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded from behind the funny. The sound was so abrupt that it didn't even react.

Who knows, Funny didn't react, but his stand-in sensed the danger for the first time, and appeared behind Funny in a flash.

In the next moment, the two fists of the funny stand-in suddenly turned into countless fist shadows, blasting towards the 'thing' that rushed into the air like a cannon......

"EulerOlaUla OlaUla ......"

Hit by countless fist shadows, the thing that rushed in the air suddenly showed its shape, and it was actually a white flesh worm that was fat enough to be as thick as an adult's thigh!

The flesh worm had no head or tail, and its body was covered with sharp teeth...... A mouth like a terrifying flower! The most shocking thing is that the wriggling fleshy body of the insect is densely covered with vertical and horizontal curved lines and blood vessels, which looks like a human ...... Brain!

"What a disgusting monster!" Funny only felt a chill rise up his spine, but in front of him, the stand-in "Funny" was fearless and frantically attacked, punching to the flesh. Finally, the monster's endurance seemed to have reached a certain threshold, and suddenly splashed out countless juices, and then its body shattered, turning directly into rotten meat and flying out.

"Fortunately, my ability is relatively special, otherwise I am afraid that I would have fallen on the road just now. Looks like I'll have to redeem some 'Self-Discipline Defense Cards' that I can attach to the 'Character Template' next time. Funny thought. As early as in his previous training, he found that the stand-in he summoned seemed to have an independent combat mind and the ability to predict danger. The reaction speed is several times faster than him, and even if he fails to react in time, the stand-in will spontaneously take the initiative to attack.

Looking at the minced meat that was blasted out by the stand-in on the ground, I felt sick to my stomach for no reason, the body of this monster ...... It was so much like a human brain, and the crooked ravines and the dense contours of the veins made him instinctively feel disgusted and repulsed.

"Teams report on the situation!" Calming down, Funny immediately yelled at the communication channel, knowing that he would never be the only one being attacked.

As a matter of irony, only three of the seven patrol squads responded to him. And these three squads have also been attacked to varying degrees. It is clear that the entire labyrinth is suffering from a full-scale invasion by an unknown enemy.

"Damn, these monsters...... How the hell did you get in? Funny growled. As the captain, he has the highest authentication authority for this labyrinth, and there are some places where he can enter without being able to enter, while others who enter may be attacked by the autonomic defense system.

Therefore, Funny usually patrols the maze by himself as a group, and delves into the most dangerous places in the maze. As for the other task forces, they are divided into seven squads and scattered in different locations in the maze. Because the team is too scattered, at this moment, it gives the enemy a chance to break them one by one.

"So it seems that there should be quite a few enemies! Moreover, most of the psychological hints and mechanisms in this labyrinth are designed for people, and these inhuman things are likely to be ineffective. The situation is not in favor of the contingent, and it is necessary to ask Huaya Heavy Industries for help as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Funny immediately dialed an encrypted communication channel. This communication channel is bound to the "Spirit Net", and it is a special channel for him to contact his superiors.

However, in the next second, the anxious expression on his funny face suddenly froze, and he discovered something unbelievable......

The "spirit net" covering the entire small world has actually failed!
