Chapter 405: Even in the dark, you still have to pick up garbage
"You didn't hear it, but I heard it anyway, something should be launching a mental attack on me."
The voice in the headphones said, "We didn't hear it either...... Can you describe the sound? β
"Hmm...... It was like a beast bound in chains, hungry for a hundred years, and suddenly found a turkey meal in front of it, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't reach the turkey meal, so it let out a suppressed cry of despair. β
"Looks like there's a big guy squatting here, so there are no other shadow beasts around."
[Multiple pieces of evidence suggest that the cry is suspected to be a mental hallucination.] γ
There wasn't much point in staying here, Zhang Ming kept moving forward, and he found that the front was getting darker and darker, and the light of the flashlight was equivalent to nothing.
If you don't activate the Eye of Time and Space, the visibility of the pure "Extraordinary Vision" is only 3 meters.
The surrounding mirrors disappeared at some point, replaced by purple-black moss, and some black liquid of unknown composition.
And this passage is getting narrower and narrower, and in the blink of an eye, it can only accommodate one person to pass through.
It was as if he was passing through the gut of some living being.
"Could it be that this continent has become a living entity? It's not that scary......"
Zhang Ming took a deep breath, in such a quiet environment, only his own breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
The two companions he was carrying with him were also focused at the moment, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Suddenly, he stepped on something soft!
He jumped up and looked down to see that it was a pitch-black corpse.
The corpse seemed to appear out of thin air, otherwise he would have noticed it in advance when he was so focused.
"This corpse is horrible enough, it looks exactly like me, can you believe it? It's just that the skin is a little darker, and it looks like it's been soaked in water for several years, and something slimy has appeared on the surface of the skin. Zhang Ming fiddled with it a few times and sneered, "Even the clothes are the same as the ones I am wearing, and the parts that have just been lost after being attacked by the monster are also the same." β
"Okay, we're recording the appropriate information......"
Zhang Ming said again: "I don't know if this counts as a mental attack, after all, my partners also found this corpse." β
"I'm shining it with a bright light......"
"Hmm... It turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared in front of me. Well?! Lunged at me? (*Loud sound)"
[A noisy, high-pitched sound is heard in the headphones, and the object is moving faster than the speed of sound in a small space.] After hearing the sound, the rear staff invariably showed signs of dizziness and vomiting, resulting in a strong feeling of heart palpitations. γ
[Through computer analysis, His Excellency the Transcendent seems to be fighting with a cloud of air.] γ
After five minutes, Zhang Ming's tone seemed a little excited: "Okay, I dispersed this smoke, you say, is that thing my shadow?" Once I'm dead, the shadow will come back to life and become a terrifying shadow beast? It's weird indeed. β
The group of people on the other side of the headset were numb by Zhang Ming's words, and this investigation task ...... Maybe only the transcendent in a half-crazy state can do it, otherwise they can really only use human life to pile up information.
They didn't even dare to make any suggestions, they just sat in silently.
After a long time, a young scholar said, "Mr. Zhang, it may be causing you to panic. β
"The more you panic, the stronger it will be. Because the voice just came over, it caused a large area of panic in the monitoring room, which would not be like this in normal times...... This is supposed to be due to some special ability. β
"It seems to make sense."
"There is actually the corpse of the gourd in front of you, and the corpse of Shi Mama? It really seems to be just a fictional phantom. β
Zhang Ming couldn't help laughing, under normal circumstances, these two guys are no different from stones in the eyes of monsters.
Unexpectedly, this time, they were also targeted.
But as soon as the gourd's corpse appeared, it made him feel confident that this was just something that the monster had made up and deliberately scared people.
People are the back of the demon god's [long-cherished wish], even if it really hangs, the corpse will turn into a shadow beast?
Zhang Ming didn't believe it in his heart!
Shi Mama sneered and fiddled with his corpse: "Heh, it's just some panic created by black shadows, I've heard that some monsters feed on fear, if you panic it will increase infinitely!" β
"I'm still nervous, and there's an adrenaline rush." Zhang Ming said seriously, "Didn't you notice that our back road is gone?" β
"yes, what about the back road?!" Shi Mama was shocked, and the old voice echoed in the small space.
I saw the direction behind me, and it was dark.
When I touched my hand, I felt a wet wall, and there was a fishy smell.
This stinky stone was so shocking that Zhang Ming was a little nervous, and he was not an emotionless robot.
In this narrow passage, facing an unknown, most likely transcendent-level monster, is exciting at the same time, it is indeed a little nervous.
And the human side is even more nervous: "Mr. Zhang, are you trapped in another dimension?" Can't come back? Is it necessary to send a rescue team? β
"We can have the rescue team drop a lot of flares in the corridors, and even drop small nuclear bombs!"
Zhang Ming was a little allergic to the term "rescue team", and subconsciously rubbed his nose.
"Don't worry, as long as you hack the creatures in the other space to death, the things inside will naturally pop out."
What's more, he also has his own spatial ability, so there is no need to be nervous.
Walking further, he found that the dark walls were painted with dark red graffiti, and the twisted threads were crookedly forming human faces, and the eyes were extremely large, staring at him faintly.
Zhang Ming was sure that this thing was some graffiti, but it was like a living creature, vivid, and he still winked at him.
The graffiti was so strange that the more I looked at it, the more panicked I became, and the dark red eyes and mouth began to twitch and float up from the walls, like the smiling face of a clown, trying to get into his mind.
"Boom!"
Purple lightning flashed, and the terrifying illusion vanished.
"A new symbolic imprint has been discovered."
Zhang Ming commented on his head and said: "Staring at this thing, the spiritual value plummets at a rate of about two hundred per second. At the same time, a strong feeling of heart palpitations occurs. β
"But it's still quite useful for tempering the fire of the heart."
"I'll write it down, let it go out and let it be printed, and see if it works."
"If there is, our heritage has increased."
The staff on the other side of the headset was really a little speechless, put themselves in their shoes and think about it, trapped in a different space, there was no light in all directions, and they didn't even know how many monsters there were!
It's a desperate environment, and it's the best choice to die with monsters!
As a result, this gentleman is still thinking about picking up garbage!
What kind of quality is that......
"You have to watch the time, you only have one hour left. If it doesn't come out again, the sun outside may have to set, and then the world will be full of shadow beasts. β
"I see."
Zhang Ming walked forward for a distance, and this narrow passage seemed endless, and no matter how far he walked, he could not see the end.
The red light in his eyes flickered, and sure enough, the "Eye of Time and Space" was still able to play its role.
He was still able to see discontinuities in space, i.e., the ability to teleport was still valid.
But this space no longer seems to be the same world as before.
For a while, he couldn't find a way to the outside worldβif he teleported indiscriminately, he might teleport to some more dangerous places, and Zhang Ming was reluctant to do so for the time being.
"It might actually sense my panic level. If I hadn't panicked, I'd have been trapped in this small, seemingly circular hallway, and it would have been such a waste of time. β
"So I'm going to panic myself, fish out the monster, and just cut it down."
"It can be a bit risky, but it's also a good time to get first-hand."
"You record the information, don't bother me."
"Understood."
Zhang Ming took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and retrieved some memories from the memory library.
So at this moment, he entered a brief state of "dishonesty".
The vision of the entire world seemed to be distorted, and his mental value began to plummet sharply, and his whole body was chilled.
After all, he was facing the Sea of Demon Gods, the most cruel symptom of the landless, "Misrepresentation", a terrifying disease that he never wanted to do again in his life.
Even a little memory of the past, the fear in my heart rises to a certain limit.
Zhang Ming shook his head and beckoned to the gourd lady hiding in the backpack, look at it a little, don't let him really go crazy.
Then, in a hoarse voice, he said, "I heard the crying sound again, like the cry of a wild cat, and the disgusting sound of swallowing and chewing continuously. β
"Hmm...... After the mental value plummeted, the surrounding walls suddenly became strange, like the intestines of mollusks, soft and soft when stepped on, and grew into eye-like structures. β
"I touched one of the eyes, and I felt a sense of comfort. As if I was born to belong here. β
"My body is a little out of control, and I have strange hallucinations in my mind, a sense of becoming one with this darkness."
"I'm out of control!! In a strong panic, I couldn't help but take my left foot and start running in small steps! β
"My heart rate went up to 180 beats per minute, and the more nervous I was, the more uncontrollable I became!"
"I'm running forward, and the feeling of being one with the darkness is getting stronger."
Do you hear the voices ahead! The air was damp, there was a smell of blood and snot, and the monster was ahead! β
"It's about 40 meters away...... 30 m ...... 20 m ...... 10 meters! Later, Shi Mama will throw a flare to light up this small area! β
