"Did I say I didn't see anything?" The Hades King stared into Gong Piqing's eyes and said with a hint of a wicked smile on his face.

Diametrically opposed to him, Gong Piqing looked serious, "We don't have much time to delay any longer, you have to know how big the time flow gap between here and the earth is, we haven't been here for half an hour, a day or even a few days have passed on the earth, we have to think about them......"

Hades smiled bitterly, "I didn't delay with you, I really didn't find anything, first of all, my meditation time was too short, I just finished looking at this street, and I accidentally saw something wrong with you, so I took my consciousness back, notice that I was talking about this street, and I didn't find the endless energy device from this street." ”

"Did you see a little farther away? Let's take two iron ore mines in these two directions. Gong Piqing said, pointing with his two fingers in the two directions where the old woman said the iron mine was located.

The Immortal frowned, "Iron Mines? What do you mean? Did you know that there are two iron ore mines in this town? What are we looking for an iron ore mine for? ”

"I talked to the old woman for a while while you were meditating just now, and she said that there are not many people in this town, and the most famous is the underground iron mine and the two iron mines, since you haven't found the endless energy device from this street, can we go to the two iron mines and have a look?" Gong Piqing told the Hades King of his thoughts.

"Why are we going to iron ore mines? Is it possible to have an endless energy device in an iron ore mine? Hades asked, confused.

"Because there are no real miners in the iron mine, the miners inside are all robots, and robots definitely can't rely on food to get energy like people, and I suspect that there are endless energy devices where they replenish energy." Gong Piqing said, "Of course, I'm just suspicious, we can go over and have a look." ”

Hades thought for a moment, then pointed in two directions, one to the left and one to the right, "Are you sure you have both?" ”

Gong Piqing nodded, "At least that's what the old woman said, and I feel like it's a real person." ”

"Yes, it's a real person, and it still has a body structure that is more than 95% similar to that of a human being, not a machine." Hades added.

"Shall we go to the iron ore mines?" Gong Piqing said, pointing in the direction of one of the iron mines.

But the Hades King scratched his head, "Actually...... If I continue to meditate for a while, I can still continue to expand the reconnaissance range, we are so blind to find the efficiency is too low, you know, just now I was in that direction, I saw something similar to the base of a large building, it was a super large building, but unfortunately I was lazy, I didn't go over to check it immediately, but thought about the next lap when I came back to see. ”

Hades said, pointing in one direction.

Gong Piqing looked in the direction of Hades' finger, but was just blocked by the house next to him.

"How far did you scout just now?" He asked.

"It's less than three thousand meters, I just said that it was just a reconnaissance street, but in fact, it has already exceeded this street, the initial range of my ultra-deep meditation state is a circle with a radius of nearly five hundred meters, and the moment my meditation state is formed, everything in this field has actually been clearly known to me." Hades said.

"So you're talking about a huge building three kilometers away?" Gong Piqing wondered.

"No, it's not the building itself, I look like a base, it doesn't look like a normal building anyway, it contains a lot of miraculous triangular load-bearing structures, it can almost be said to achieve the maximum load-bearing capacity without wasting any materials, I suspect, it could be the tower in the Land of Machines." Hades said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Piqing grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the exit of the alley.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Three thousand meters, if it's really that tower, with my eyesight and your mind reconnaissance ability, as long as we find a place that is empty enough, we can see that tower, if we can really see it, then let's go in the opposite direction, after all, the order of the headquarters can't be disobeyed." Gong Piqing said with a serious face.

Hades smiled bitterly and didn't speak, but he had already said everything he wanted to say from his heart, because "can't disobey orders" can now come out of Gong Piqing's mouth, but it can really be called an unprecedented event, in the eyes of the people in their Mill Research Institute, the synonym of "World Tree" has become "unrestrained", "rebellious" and other mixed words, just like the last time Gong Piqing went to single out the entire Xiguan Renai Research Institute.

If this kind of behavior was placed in the previous research institute, it would be impossible for anyone to agree to him doing this, and the reason why the old man agreed to let him go that day was actually entirely because he couldn't tell him, the old man knew what kind of fire of revenge was buried in his heart, and if this kind of fire of revenge was not vented, it would only make Gong Piqing more rebellious.

Gong Piqing's pace was so fast that the Hades King couldn't keep up, and finally when they were about to walk out of this alley, the Hades broke free of Gong Piqing's hand, "Actually, you should have asked about this matter just now, that is, are there any oversized tower-shaped buildings nearby." ”

When the two of them stopped, they were already tired and out of breath, Gong Piqing stood in a bright sunshine, looking at the direction that the Hades King pointed out just now, it stands to reason that the distance of three thousand meters plus such a sunny weather, if there is really a tower of Babel that reaches straight to the sky ahead, even if the weather is a little bad, they can see it.

But now, he looked at the end of the sky in that direction, but he didn't even see the shadow of the tower.

"My eyes can't see anything over there, and I can't see it from my regular thoughts, why don't we go over and take a closer look?" Immortal gasped and asked, "Or maybe you told me to rest, and after a while, I will enter a deep meditation state again." ”

"Don't meditate, there are not many directions that we can go, assuming that the tower you said over there, we will definitely not be able to go over there, and those two mines ......" Gong Piqing stopped when he wanted to speak.

"You mean you're going to the mines?" Hades asked.

Gong Piqing lowered his head and didn't speak, because he didn't know how to explain to Hades, on the one hand, he really wanted to go to the mine to see if there was an endless energy device, but on the other hand, he was worried about seeing the mine where they were in the illusion.

Even he knew in his own heart that there would definitely be a certain difference between the illusion and reality, and they all almost died in the iron mine in the illusion, but now, his teammate was Hades, and he and Hades had the existence that could sweep through that mine!

Finally, he made up his mind.

"Let's go, go to the mines." With that, he waved his hand and walked in the direction that the old woman had said, where one of the iron mines was.

Hades trotted to catch up with Gong Piqing, and it was really like the "roundworm in the stomach" as the saying goes, and he saw that Gong Piqing had other thoughts in his heart.

"What's in the iron ore mines? You seem to be interested in that over there, there are more than just endless energy devices. Hades followed him, treading his shadow intentionally or unintentionally.

As soon as he heard this, Gong Piqing instantly stopped in place, and the Hades King seemed to have been prepared, almost at the same moment as him.

"You're peeking at my brain again." Gong Piqing said with his head bowed in front.

"No, you don't hide your emotions, and for you, you can tell if you're on your mind even if you don't invade your brain." Hades said behind him.

"Nothing on the mind." After Gong Piqing said this, he continued to walk forward, and the Hades King followed closely behind, and his every move was really synchronized with him as if it were his shadow.

"Really? Now it's just the two of us in this world......"

"Really, nothing on the mind."

After a few seconds, Gong Piqing sighed, "Actually...... It's not a matter of mind, it's just that I've been to a place similar to this place at some point, and it's a kind of thing that doesn't fit in with reality, so it has no reference meaning. ”

"Doesn't match reality? What do you mean? Hades wondered.

"The illusion in the palace of the King of Extreme Cold, the trap left by the elemental mage, there is a scene similar to the situation in this town." Gong Piqing finally said it.

"What did you all experience in the illusion? Did they all survive safely? Hades asked from behind, like a loyal listener.

Gong Piqing nodded, "I survived, but the process was miserable." ”

Hades smiled behind him, "It's good to survive, psychological shadow...... It's normal, but don't worry, this time it's not the same as it used to be, right? ”

As he spoke, the Hades quickened his pace and walked to his side, Gong Piqing raised his head to look at him, only to see that this guy was also looking at him with a smile.

"yes...... It's not what it used to be...... We are all people who come out of a nightmare, and even if the nightmare comes again, we must not fall through the same pit a second time......"
