In the deserted corridors, the lights placed here and there radiate a dim glow, just like every day and night since the building was erected.

The members of True Eye may never have imagined that their secret stronghold would be raided by the enemy, and even some of them would become puppets of the other party. Stable research and life are completely destroyed by the other party in an instant, and the perpetrators of the past have become victims.

"Which direction are we going now?" asked Curt in a low voice as he looked at the crowd that was ignoring them, and asked Lizzie as she walked ahead.

After exiting the first corridor that had first entered the area, Lizzie ran to a side passage like a gray wolf that smelled the scent of its prey. Not knowing where she was going, Curt had no choice but to follow her slowly and deliberately cast his figure into the darkness.

"I felt the reaction of some kind of living thing, if I'm not mistaken, human. Lizzie replied to Curt's question without looking back, "Weak, probably badly injured - but alive and unaffected by the strange sludge." ”

This should have been the most normal existence, but in this stronghold, the two of them have not seen even a single human without abnormality. Either broken dead bodies or monsters engulfed in sludge, the magicians of the True Eye left nothing alive.

"Humans?"

So much so that Curt, who had just heard the word, didn't react for a while, and glanced at Liqi who was a little surprised when she stopped in the distance to distinguish the road. The road split into three forks in front of her. One of them leads to an open cavern nearby, while the other two spread farther afield.

"Wait. You can only feel that the other person is a human, but you can't say that he is a member of the Ultramarine Faction. Take a step back. Even if he was a member of the Ultramarine Faction, he might not have known what was going on here—the one we saw just now clearly meant that the True Eye had been suddenly attacked. ”

Curt believed Lizzie's words, but if it was as Lizzie claimed, the injured man might have found a barely able place to hide after the initial attack. And in the worst-case scenario, it is quite possible that he has become a captive of the so-called "third forces".

"I don't know if that human is a member of the Ultramarine Faction, but I can pack a ticket for him, and he's badly wounded. If no one helps him deal with it, it probably won't be long before he hangs up, and even if he has any information, he will only rot in his stomach. ”

With that, Lizzie walked in the direction that led to the open cavern. Poking her head out to observe the situation ahead, she no longer explained her opinion, but left Curt with a strange smile, as if to say to him, "Do you want to go and do it yourself".

"Hmph, is that so?" Curt pursed his lips, noncommittal to Lizzie's teasing, "I don't like the crazy people in True Eye, but I can't just watch a guy die and be the only one who knows what's going on, anyway. ”

Regardless of whether the other party is someone he knows or not, he can't ignore it when he knows that someone is in danger - after all, it is not in his character to see death and not save him. And the reason why Liqi chose this route must have her own reasons. Curt could only follow in Lizzie's footsteps and continue to act.

"I knew you'd say that, but you see, it's suspicious there, right?"

Lizzie pointed to a corner of the cave, and Curt followed the direction she was pointing. What you can see is a cave that has been cleaned up.

The cave is open enough to accommodate hundreds of people without looking crowded. And at the top of the cave, there seems to be a skylight at a high altitude above the ground. There was plenty of light coming down from above, which allowed her to get a rough view of the layout of the cave.

And further afield. It should be the "suspicious location" that Lizzie said. There is an area made of slightly strangely colored stone buildings. Fence-like metal structures are installed on the surface of the rock fence to allow people inside to observe the outside.

Right where this metal fence was facing in the direction they were. There is also a metal gate that leads deeper into the rock face. The gate, made of dark black metal, looked quite well-maintained from a distance, and looked out of place compared to the rough stone that surrounded it.

"Yes, it's really suspicious, looking at this heavily guarded Cheng dù is comparable to a prison for felons..."Curt had a crying and laughing expression on his face, "Also, Lizzie... Can you tell me what the guys standing there are guarding them all about? Those guys aren't human by any means. ”

In the cavern in front of him, there stood several statue-like creatures, Curt had never seen anything like this. From the outside, they look like monsters that have simply and crudely spliced together the characteristics of lobsters and apes, and then assembled them with the characteristics of insects.

They were about two adult males that were so tall together, and on their crustacean-like torsos were several pairs of stout, unsure dorsal fins or wing membranes, with reptilian arthropods growing from the roots of these organs, revealing sharp bone spurs. Judging by the dried blood stains on the bone spurs, the arthropods must have been the murder weapons they used to capture their prey.

It should be the position of the legs, where several pairs of intricate arthropods grow to support their massive bodies. These twisted limbs are covered with a layer of pitch-black sludge, and every now and then a disgusting secretion flows from their lower limbs and is absorbed by the pitch-black sludge.

Looking up, their "head" is an oval-shaped object filled with spiral-shaped tumors, each with several tentacles in the middle of each of these spiral-shaped tumors vibrating slightly. On this ugly head, there are no normal sensory organs to be seen, only a strange mouthpiece opening and closing wantonly.

"Don't ask me, I've never seen anything so disgusting. Lizzie's tone contained a deep displeasure, not hiding her disgust for the creatures, "It's so ugly that it makes you want to vomit, and it makes me sick more than rotten brains soaked in water, rotten protein cubes, and all that stuff." ”

The expression on her face was so complicated that even Curt, who had seen everything in her eyes, didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

"Is it so exaggerated..."

Curt remembered the look on Lizzie's face a long time ago when she dealt with her "rotten brain" and "protein lumps", and the tangle of "disgusted but had to do it for the sake of research" was evident on her face, and she hadn't touched those things since that research was completed.

"No, I don't even want to touch this thing. ”

As if guessing that Curt was about to ask her "do you want to study what it was?", Lizzie was the first to answer the question he hadn't asked yet. Being able to keep Lizzie, whose main focus is on research, shy away, gives Curt a rough idea of how much she hates these monsters.

"But we're going to go where they're guarding, right?" Curt decided not to talk about studying the creatures, but instead thought about how to move forward, "With the way we are doing, I don't think it's possible to break through their defenses without causing conflict." ”

There were seven of these monsters in the cave in front of them, and they stood in a staggered manner, staring at themselves, the cave entrance, and the iron gate. Regardless of whether or not the iron fence door required a key to open, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to pass through the door directly.

Hiding one's existence through the darkness is already the limit, and even if you use a spell to twist the surrounding light, it is impossible to pass through the gate under the eyes of everyone.

"Huh?"

Curt, who was looking at the structure of the cave, suddenly noticed that something was wrong. The monsters that had been watching each other slowly moved their feet, and he seemed to be hiding in the darkness as if he was being watched by some kind of gaze from nowhere.

Discovered?

Sensing that the situation had changed, he reflexively jumped away from where he was staying. And just moments after he left, the place where he was was was occupied by tentacles sticking out of the shadows. At the same time, the monsters inside the cave also spewed out spike-like darkness in turn, shooting in the direction he jumped away.

The multi-angle attack blocked the space of action from all angles, and seeing a large number of sharp shadow spikes flying towards him, Curt hurriedly took evasive measures to break away from the gap in the attack.

I saw him shorten slightly, and then he used the momentum to turn back and jump in the other direction. This change of direction was done quite in time, and even a little distance away from his original direction, the enemy attack was already carrying the sound of breaking wind and brushing his side towards the rock wall that was not far away.

Titicaca!

The flying shadow stabbed at the rock wall rapidly, and then burst open the moment it hit the rock wall, leaving fist-sized holes in the rock wall, and the debris was also nailed deep into the nearby rock wall. Seeing this scene, Curt was a little glad that he hadn't tried to shoot the missiles away.

"Well, we've been discovered... No, to be precise, it may have been discovered when we were observing them not long ago. But it's okay, at least we can confirm that these guys are not observing with sight, even if the disguise is removed. ”

Curt looked at the monsters from afar, and put on the weapon he picked up casually as if he could attack at any time. On the other side of the cavern, the monsters began their journey. The sludge-covered lower limbs move slowly, leaving black footprints behind them with each step.
