Instantly, the entire storage room, the countless eyeballs densely distributed along the floor shifted their gaze at the same time, and they all watched the two intruders. In the dim and old room, a pair of eerie eyeballs reflecting the night light pierced through the darkness, and the whole room seemed to have a cold burst, silently filling. A chill ran from the tail vertebrae to their chests, and they bit their lips and couldn't say a complete sentence.

At the same time, an inexplicable throbbing suddenly surged in the hearts of the Eye Demon and Erica.

It was as if they heard a voice echoing in their hearts repeatedly:

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"Only one person will get out of here alive!"

The eye demon became more and more blurred, and subconsciously wanted to obey the voice, but turned his head to see Erica with a dull face. Suddenly alert, he woke up suddenly, and his palms were full of cold sweat.

"Hurry up!

She grabbed Erica's hand, grabbed the other man's arm, bit the tip of her tongue, and ran all the way out of the storage room.

Ahh

In the process, the Eye Demon's ears were filled with countless sharp and terrible howls, and the farther away from the strange storage room, the more terrifying those voices became. It wasn't until they left the confines of the villa that the hideous howls gradually moved away from their eardrums. The frustration and cold that wrapped around the body were also slowly receding, and finally the decrease was dissipated.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The Eye Demon clenched Erica's cold palm, gasping for breath, until he fled to the green forest near the road, and the uneasiness in his heart subsided a little.

If I hadn't just woken up from hypnosis in time if I hadn't known a little mental suggestion skills, I am afraid that I would have died in the storage room by now. This hellish place is terrifying, with no water, no food, no inhabitants, and strange monsters hidden......

"What exactly do you do to hold on for two months?"

The Eye Demon shook his head and sat down against the trunk of the tree, intending to rest for a moment to calm his beating heart. Suddenly, through a flickering flash of lightning, she saw Erica panting out of the courtyard in front of the villa not far away.

“......”

She subconsciously held her breath, only to feel that her brain and marrow were frozen at this moment, and a tremor from her soul instantly surged throughout her body.

At this moment, the 'companion' who had escaped all the way clenched his hands, and his five fingers were retracted and pressurized like cold iron tongs. His neck was wrapped around the trunk of a tree like a long snake, and a pale face hung from the branches, and he was smiling strangely at the Eye Demon.

One by one, one by one

Erica had her back to the Eye Demon, but her head hung down from the branches in front of her, and two black holes were deeply sunken in the part where her eyeballs were, and her face was full of deep, shallow, thin eyes:

"My neck hurts, can you take a look at it?"

'“......”

The Eye Demon was almost fainted by the gaze of the eyeballs, and immediately began to struggle to break free, but the monster's hand held her like an iron pincer. The mouth also began to stretch infinitely along the corners of the lips, revealing the layers of shark teeth inside the mouthparts.

"Lilith!"

Erica, who ran out of the courtyard, happened to see this scene, and subconsciously took out the hand cannon on her waist and threw it in the direction of the monster. At the same time, the whole person also stepped on a straight line and flew out, pulled out the dagger from the waist on the other side, held back the fear in his heart, and rushed to his companion who was in deep danger.

Bang——!

The head that hung from the branch in the middle of the cannon slammed into the back of the monster's head from behind, throwing it high like a sandbag, and narrowly brushing the head of the Eye Demon.

Although the eye demon has been frightened by the brain, the instinct formed by long-term training is still there, and it is not paralyzed like ordinary people. Instead, he quickly fell to the ground, rolled with the trend, and suddenly distanced himself from the monster.

“......”

Erica rushed to the monster, swinging her dagger as she ran, aiming at her neck that was hovering around the branches, and crossed up and down to make two bright arcs.

Sneer——!

The dagger slashed through the air with a piercing, sharp cracking sound.

Where the blade passed, filthy black blood splattered out, and the head under the long neck of the coiled snake was severed at the root. The head of the monster broke away from its body, silently opening its vicious mouth, splattering blood and falling to the ground.

"Drink!"

Erica exhaled, twisted her hips violently, her left leg touched the ground, and her right leg rose off the ground like a long whip. It hit the declining head, and it was thrown up like a ball, flying hundreds of meters away.

一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一

Perhaps everything that happened before was too terrifying, and after the Eye Demon escaped, his consciousness has been in a semi-conscious state, and he has not stood up on the ground for half a day.

"Lilith, are you alright? Wake up!"

It wasn't until Erica held her body and shook it vigorously that she gradually regained consciousness.

"Erica!"

The Eye Demon hugged his companion's body hard, pillowed on her shoulder and looked at the corpse, his heart trembled with palpitations, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence of great loss:

"I didn't expect that after losing my ability, I would be so vulnerable. ”

"No, you're not fragile at all! I was in that broken room just now, and if I hadn't heard you, I'd have been lost. Erica hugged her body and comforted her.

"I'm now regretting that I didn't learn mixed martial arts like you did. The Eye Demon stared at the monster's neatly severed head, and his tone gradually regained its temperature revealed a hint of envy and remorse.

"Now is not the time to talk about this!"

Erica helped her to her feet, and glanced at the villa with trepidation:

"We have to get out of this place full of ghosts as soon as possible and find the rest of our teammates. Evan, in particular, has a very high level of mixed martial arts and is on the verge of making it to the master level. Therefore, even if all extraordinary abilities are canceled, they will still be able to fight strongly. Only by finding him can we hope to live!"

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

In a future timeline, the Beholder and the Man-Eater are searching for their lost teammates. And in the past timeline, Evan and White Bear also searched for the three of them with all their might.

And through non-stop searching, they gradually grasped the information of the city in the process of searching for their teammates.

It is an isolated town surrounded by mountains, and all roads circulate within the city.

Although there are planes, cars, cruise ships and other means of transportation, all residents have access to the outside world through the media. No one thought of leaving here, as if everyone had been erased from the concept of 'leaving this town' and would deliberately block similar information.

However, this does not mean that the residents of the town are all marionettes, in fact, the thinking logic of these residents is no different from that of normal people, and even more like humans than the qualified ones. They need three meals a day, they need to have fun and relax, and they need to work and study.

These people have even recently set up a special agency to find out what secrets are in the town, why there are so many weirdos in just one day-Evan and these people are probably psychopaths who fled here after the closure of some abnormal human research center in the outside world.

Talking about the end of the world all day long, and being elusive, and more importantly, the identity information is blank. If it weren't for the directives from above, these people would have been wiped out by the police, psychiatric hospitals, and special research institutes.

After searching from half a day to late at night, Evan and the others ran almost all over the city, but still did not find any trace of the Eye Demon.

At this time, they almost had a number in their hearts.

After all, teammates are not stupid, unless something happens, they will definitely find a way to converge. If you find no one in the daytime, you will either have encountered an accident or be trapped in the future.

In desperation, they had no choice but to return to the organization where the qualified gathered.

At this time, most of the qualified people gathered in the villa, gathered together in twos and threes, and discussed with each other how to survive for sixty days.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Some people feel that it is urgent to store food and water, and they must prepare as soon as possible, even if they do, they will have to rush to buy resources for 60 days.

Some people think that staying here is a dead end, and that it is necessary to explore the outside world. Even if you can't find a way out of here, at least you have to find favorable terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

These two points are almost everyone's consensus, and there is nothing to dispute.

The rest is pretty much a tearing topic.

Many people think that he is dying anyway, and he is not bound by the law in this place, so he will burn and loot first.

Opponents argue that all forces that can be united should be united, but no one in their sane mind wants to die, and that townsfolk are a force that can be used when necessary.

The topic was, of course, dominated by the naysayers, and a consensus was quickly reached that if there was scum among the qualified, everyone was obliged to purge them.

There are also many people who believe that there must be other hidden areas here, because there are cases of personnel being lost in various teams, and there is not a trace left, which is obviously abnormal.

Opponents believe that they were swallowed by the town, after all, this trial is a survival challenge mode, and if the spawn point is not farmed correctly, it is understandable that they will be killed in an instant as soon as they appear.

"It is possible to be killed in an instant at birth, and there are hidden areas. ”

Evan interrupted the argument with the help of a megaphone, grabbing their attention, and explained:

"Because that's where I came back! It's a barren ghost realm with terrifying monsters, and it's as close to the city as we are in in terms of layout and detail. I don't know exactly where that place is, but there should be some kind of passage to connect to it, after all, that's how I appeared. ”

Then, in the most concise words, he expounded a series of his encounters, but concealed the speculation of the spiral of contradictions. After all, this idea is too bizarre and has not yet been supported by sufficient evidence, and what is said will only be scoffed by everyone.

After listening to Evan's speech, the qualified ones decided to divide their troops into three routes, one to collect resource reserves, one to explore the unknown area outward, and one to search inward for a passage to connect the barren ghost domain.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

As the only qualified person from the Desolate Ghost Domain, Evan naturally joined the search channel, but he had another idea in his heart - that is, to test the conjecture of the contradictory spiral.

In order to verify the spiral of contradictions, a marker is necessary, and the lighthouse may serve as a carrier of the marker!

The lighthouse, as the most visible structure in the city, persists even after the apocalypse. If you engrave a clear enough mark there, you might be able to keep it for sixty days. Assuming that he is able to reach the Desolate Ghost Realm again, if there is another mark left in the lighthouse, it will prove that the Spiral of Contradiction does exist.

What exactly do you mark?

When Evan and the seal arrive at the Grey Lighthouse, they are torn apart, as if whatever mark they put on it, they may be accidentally obliterated. After some discussion, the trio decided to implement a covered graffiti, marking anything that was private enough to be marked.

In addition to this, they have also made an impression in the city's newspapers and magazines through methods such as extreme sports. In this way, as long as you find the old newspaper of the day in the Barren Ghost Domain, you can determine whether the contradiction spiral exists or not.

There were also secrets in the trio's interview statements, as they had anticipated the possibility of losing contact with them long before the fourth stage of the trial. Therefore, a set of Morse ciphers was specially created, and only the members of the team knew how to decipher it.

If the Eye Demon could see the old newspapers, they would be able to decipher and read what the trio really wanted to reveal - through the spiral pillar of light emitted by the lighthouse, that was the way to the past.

Before sending this message, Evan and the others were also very entangled in their hearts. After all, they still have no way of determining at what point in time the three Eye Demons will appear after passing through the spiral tunnel. However, considering that it is impossible for Shylock to create so many timelines, the possibility of the six people reuniting is not low.

After doing this, they began to wait for the most critical thing: will the lighthouse tonight emit a spiral beam of light, and if so, will the pillar of light lead to the future?

However, the three of them were very upset by the situation, and at two o'clock that night, the lighthouse emitted a normal light instead of an orange spiral beam.

The Eye Demon didn't appear in front of him.
