"Click".

The sound of boots trampling on the ground echoed through the dark corridors.

It was the only sound that could still be heard in the ruins, and there was a dead silence beyond that. The ruins of the ruins hung ghostly on the walls, the faded wallpaper peeling off, and several sharp paw prints hung on it, as if the human face had been torn off.

The whole hospital was filled with a suffocating smell of decay, and the air was filled with a cold silence, giving people a bone-chilling loneliness and despair.

In the corner of the wall, you can see messy marks, which seem to be human scratches. In addition, several skeletons lay in the corner, sharp finger bones against the wall, as if making a final note.

It's not so much a hospital as it is a ...... Dead ghost.

In the eerie silence, Alice carefully and cautiously walks through the corridors of the abandoned hospital with a mirror on her back and an oil lamp in her hand.

Her heart was beating so loudly as a drumstick that she wondered if her heart would jump out of her chest and onto the ground.

Absolutely dead and depressing, that's how this hospital feels to Alice.

"I even felt like something was going to jump out and attack me from behind those old curtains."

Lowering her voice, she said into the mirror.

Chen Qing did not respond to this.

It's like watching a horror movie, just silently watching Alice's actions. But he is also prepared to forcibly invoke the vision of forbidden knowledge if danger arises to help Alice get out of trouble.

Anyway, Alice is also his man.

He wouldn't let her die in this abandoned hospital.

One person and one mirror walked slowly like this, and in the empty corridor, only Alice's footsteps and breathing were particularly harsh.

After stepping through the hallway, which was already too old, they finally reached the front desk.

That is, Chen Qing threatened the nurse before saying that he would expose the place where he lost things.

At the moment, there are only some dilapidated and scattered documents left in the front desk, perhaps because of some special power, these documents have not been weathered and scattered by time, but have left some residual fragments.

Looking at the scraps of paper, Alice hesitated.

She really didn't dare take these things.

And Chen Qing had to remind: "Those are not taboos, but the keys to help you understand." ”

From the vision of the ancient mirror, he could see clearly that those things were not polluted and were not taboo.

For Chen Qing's judgment, Alice is very trusting.

After all, this master can trigger the celestial phenomena with a single blow and attract the god of doom.

Without hesitation, reaching out her hand, Alice picked up the pieces of paper and whispered, "This seems to be ...... Log. ”

"...... 'Inspector' left this log? What kind of federal agent is this? ”

Scanning the table in front of her with her hand, Alice finally collected the scattered pieces of paper and managed to put together some coherent content.

Lifting the oil lamp in front of her, she read the contents of the scrap of paper by the light of the oil lamp: "Cataclysmic Calendar 874 ......"

[On July 14, 874 in the Cataclysmic calendar, we arrived at the 'Cross of the White Wall' today]

[I heard from the rest of the alliance that there are several powerful transcendent lifeforms in the 'Cross of the White Wall', so let's not bother them, but there is no way, Yu #的命令很明确, we need to find the forbidden knowledge in the Cross of the White Wall and help him break through]

[Fucking that dog mongrel, it's just relying on some relationship between himself and that guy to be so domineering, it's disgusting]

After reading this page, Alice continued to scroll down: "The next is the 15th. ”

[On July 15th, we rested for a day on the first floor. Let's start exploring]

[The first floor is safe, we have cleaned most of the taboos, and the taboo knowledge has been contained by special means and passed on, so we will enter the second floor]

Seeing this, Alice's brow furrowed.

"There seems to be blood in the back."

She whispered, then looked down.

[The second floor is safe, and there is a monster on the second floor! ] He was a bit like a patient stitching up a corpse, and like a walking stool...... I don't know how to describe it! But it's just disgusting! 】

[He killed most of us, it!] 】

[The way up the stairs is all, I've never seen such a brute, and the even has a strong pollution, I saw someone get twisted and then lie on the ground and eat it, and their faces were yellow and sticky...... Vomiting】

Seeing this, Alice subconsciously glanced at the trace in the lower right corner.

There are noticeable yellowish spots.

"Wait, won't it ......"

Almost without a moment's hesitation, Alice threw away the paper.

And Chen Qing, who was outside the mirror, also frowned.

"Stitched corpse ...... of feces"

He groaned, unable to imagine what a twist it would be.

And the note continues.

[The third layer is safe, there are monsters here, but it's a little better than the second layer, only about two dozen died this time]

[The fourth layer of security, there are also monsters, it only took sixteen people to solve it]

[Fifth layer of security, death toll eight]

[Sixth floor security, zero deaths, 17 serious injuries]

[Seventh floor safety, no casualties]

【8th Floor...... We found what we wanted, and we didn't dare to touch anything else, and we were ready to start our return journey]

Much of what is written here is rather vague.

As if the death toll had already made the recorder feel bad, he didn't record any details at all.

"But are there eight floors?"

Looking up at the stairs, Alice thought to herself.

According to the recorder, it seems that they have found what they are looking for on the eighth floor. And they didn't touch anything but that thing.

That means ...... Maybe there are still a lot of secrets on the eighth floor?

Burying this matter in her heart, Alice continued to look down.

The rest is obviously a little more.

It seems that because they can go home, the recorder is in a much better mood and has begun to record the content of chats with other people.

In this chat, someone mentioned a very strange phenomenon.

"Why does the higher you go, the lower the strength of the monster?"

"More than half of us died on the second floor, but less on the third floor than on the third. But without people, we should be much less powerful than before, but the death toll has dropped sharply. ”

"Does this mean that the third level is higher than the difficulty...... Much lower than the previous one? ”

This question raises a question.

That's why as the first layer at the beginning.

There are no monsters at all?

Seeing this line, Alice's hand trembled slightly.

Then comes the last piece of paper.

The paper was almost charred, but the words were still legible.

[I'm crazy]

[The first layer is not safe at all, not safe, not safe! 】

[That thing can't be matched, it's the sun, it's the volcano, it's the source of fire, it's all light and heat!] 】

[He did not kill any of us, but His very existence is the ultimate harm to us, the pollution of Him...... Far more than we imagined! 】

[My consciousness is melting, everything in me is being devoured]

[He just looked at me quietly and didn't say anything, but strangely, I had a vague sense that He seemed to be ...... Disappointment]

[He's disappointed]

The handwriting came to an abrupt end here.

And that's the moment.

Alice suddenly felt something strange behind her.

It's like ...... Something was heating up so much that it was like setting everything around it on fire.

The intense heat even made Alice feel like a sun was rising in front of her!

I didn't dare to turn my head back.

Alice jumped forward and rushed straight into the stairwell.

The note is accurate.

Something on the first floor...... It's a monster!

But He doesn't seem to do anything.

The recorders died because they couldn't bear the contamination, not because they were killed by the monster.

So this also means that if you are fast enough, you can avoid the intensity of pollution.

The only thing to worry about is that the second floor may not be safe either.

But......

"No matter how unsafe it is, it's good to be burned alive!"

She carried the ancient mirror on her back, and the skin on her body was burned away, revealing her muscles.

And those muscles turned black in an instant.

This terrifying heat, even for a moment, is enough to make Alice feel painful!

But, the stairs are also closer.

Just get to that place......

Alice stared at the stairwell in front of her.

However, just as she was about to jump in.

The hot heat suddenly dissipated without a trace at this moment.

The light and heat that used to be like the sun are now completely gone.

Well?

Feeling the inexplicably cool air, Alice looked back in disbelief.

And then this one turned back.

She suddenly saw in the distance.

A dark red, as if compressed to the extreme, even the facial features can't see the shadow of human nature.

was looking towards her, quietly watching.

What the hell?!

Alice could clearly see that the air around the guy was distorting.

Is that...... Disordered phenomena under the dual influence of pollution and high temperatures!

The vague shadow just looked at Alice silently.

Say nothing.

Just watching.

And in Alice's terrifying gaze.

His eyes were directed behind Alice.

Or rather.

...... behind her That mirror!

And Chen Qing in the mirror, after seeing the dark red distorted figure.

For the first time, there was a slight change in his calm eyes.

He folded his hands.

His face sank.
