Chapter Seventy-Two: The "Institute"

While getting the "Star Staff", Crane took out a gold coin from the air with his other hand, and it bounced up with a bang.

As the gold coins rolled, the revelation obtained from "divination" naturally appeared in his mind:

It was an extremely secluded ravine, and at the bottom there was a thick and wide building made of "gray and white" layers.

Every detail of this restores the Chernobyl that Klein saw at the beginning, but the source is not the spiritual world, but Klein's own subconscious.

With the help of the technique of "dream divination", he reproduced the images he had seen in his mind.

As soon as this scene was sketched, the gems inlaid on the "Star Staff" shimmered, and the historical pore image of Klein disappeared in an instant, and then appeared in the sky above the gray building.

In a second's time, Crane returned to Chernobyl from the easternmost part of Godforsaken!

This is one of the main abilities of the Star Staff: if the corresponding scene that comes to the wielder's mind is real and still exists, the Star Staff allows him to descend directly to his destination without any obstacles and no matter how far away.

Of course, the premise is that the sketch must be absolutely correct and not be the slightest visible to the naked eye from the original.

The reason why Klein chose the deep ravine where Chernobyl is located, instead of the wasteland filled with gray and yellow mist, is because he knows that after the young son of the giant king, the "god of honor" Bradel gets rid of the curse and passes away completely, that place will definitely undergo great changes, and the only thing that will not be affected may only be the mysterious Chernobyl, which is valued by the ancient sun god and Amun's father and son.

This is not to say that the dark ravines and gray buildings will not have visible changes, Crane is actually ready for the failure of the "teleportation" and the unknown destination, anyway, the person is fake, and the items in his hand are also fake, and it is not a pity to lose it.

In mid-air, Crane, who was holding the "Star Staff", had not had time to examine the surrounding situation, and the whole person suddenly sank and fell downward.

He did not wear "Wriggling Hunger" and did not transform into a bird creature, and is currently incapable of flying.

Therefore, don't look at the demigods of the "soothsayer" path are so weird and terrifying, in fact, they also have an ordinary human side.

As his thoughts flickered, an extraordinary ability appeared in Crane's mind.

The "Star Staff" then lit up with different colors of light, causing violent winds to blow around it.

The wind wrapped around Klein, causing his black trench coat to flutter and his body to fall.

In the process, Klein shook his right hand, returning the historical aperture projection of the "Star Staff" to its normal position, so as not to cause accidents due to his own instinctive imagination of some images.

Then, with his left hand, he pressed the half-height silk top hat above his head, and dragged a horse lantern out of the void just as the lightning had just passed.

In the dim light of the horse lantern, Crane's feet in buttonless leather shoes were firmly on the ground at the bottom of the deep ravine, and the endless darkness around him seemed to hide one monster after another.

In front of him was the Chernobyl that had been poured out of layers of "gray and white".

With the combined effect of high-altitude lightning and the horse lantern in his hand, Klein quickly discovered a situation:

This thick, wide, gray building has no doors!

Well, every place is sealed...... I remember that the ancient sun god came out of an illusory gap in the gray wall...... Crane thoughtfully found the place in his memory and began to recite the honorific name of "The Fool".

In the easternmost part of the Godforsaken Land, next to the condensed fog near Moon City, Klein's body, which was hiding in the pores of history, immediately entered the Source Fort and swept the situation in Chernobyl with the help of a prayer point of light.

In that deep ravine and the remnants of the gray mist of the wasteland, there was not a single Amon.

As for Chernobyl itself, even if Klein had the "real vision" provided by the "Source Fort", he could not see clearly what was going on inside:

Layer after layer of "gray" seems to be absolute nothingness, without any color.

It's really not easy...... It is worthy of the place where the ancient sun god and the creator of the Silver City came out...... Crane sighed in his heart, and quickly left the "Source Castle" and returned to the fragments of history before the First Age.

Outside Chernobyl, Klein regained consciousness, and the probe took out "Lemanno's Travel Notes" from the air.

He quickly flipped to one of the pages, ready to use the "Apprentice's" "Open the Door".

Such a move is actually a bit reckless for Klein, but considering that this is just an image in the hole of history, I don't think there is any problem.

The extraordinary person of the "soothsayer" path has both the attributes of prudence and recklessness at the same time, being cautious when preparing and reckless when ready, showing the duality of cautious recklessness...... In his self-complaint, Klein silently passed through the barrier and entered the interior of Chernobyl.

After "opening the door" again and again, he finally left the place where the "gray and white" was poured, and saw a thick iron door half-open in front of him.

This iron gate is not high, that is, about two meters and a half, which is obviously a preparation for humans.

In front of it, there are two pools of pitch-black marks and two guns that are more sci-fi than any weapon of the current era.

These two guns were somewhat similar to what Crane had seen in his previous life when he was looking through some magazines, but he wasn't a fan of them, so he couldn't be sure.

Crane didn't pick it up, he didn't try to study it, because his spiritual instincts told him that the two gun-like weapons had been completely corroded, and the slightest touch would cause them to collapse and turn into foam.

After two glances, Crane dispersed "Lemanor's Travel Notes", carried a lantern, passed between the two dark tracks, and came to the back of the iron gate.

There is a wide aisle here, flanked by rooms of various sizes, in which the tables and chairs are either overturned, some are safe, some are half missing, and the walls and floors are full of black marks.

"Looks like a research institute......" Klein made a preliminary judgment from the remnants and the overall layout.

Without any need for him to look for it, he soon found a few yellowish sheets of paper on the table in a machine crashed room.

It seems that someone collected it and put it there casually.

The ancient sun god, Amon Klein, hesitated for two seconds, but finally stepped into the room.

The dim glow of the lantern dispelled the darkness inside, and he picked up the pages and skimmed them quickly.

Ten seconds later, Klein put down the paper, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

He barely knew a word on those pages!

I could barely pass English in my last life, let alone any other language?Klein suddenly felt the mood of the rest of the extraordinary people in this world when they read Russell's diary.

He exhaled slowly, reached into the void, and pulled out an item.

This is the translator that Zhou Mingrui bought when he saved some money before and was about to travel abroad, and it was in the computer bag next to him when the transfer ceremony was held.

For Klein, the biggest advantage of the translator now is that it can be translated offline – as long as it doesn't go beyond the built-in thesaurus.

After some manipulation, he finally understood what was written on those pages:

“...... Study on the reproduction of oil from dry oil fields...... Why build a research institute in a place where no one else can think of such a thing?"

“...... Oh my God, what did they find in the depths of the oil fields......"

“...... It's some fantastic material......"

“...... What the hell is going on? The Doctor just turned into a puddle of black oil in front of me!"

“...... More and more people are turning into oil, and the outside is blocking this institute...... No one can leave, no one can leave......"

“...... It's crazy, it's all crazy, only we're normal, but we're running out of food......"

“...... I seem to be hallucinating, there is a voice coming from underground, it is calling me, He is calling me!"

This paragraph of simple and straightforward text makes Klein's back feel inexplicably cold, and he has a feeling that he is also going crazy step by step and towards death.

At the same time, a thought naturally came to his mind:

Contamination from the ground.

The reason for everything was that some strange geological materials were discovered while studying the dry oil fields, and unnecessary in-depth experiments were done? And then, the world was destroyed? But if it was a disaster caused by such a fortuitous event, then it made no sense that I, Russell the Great, and others would have obtained the items that we could "cross" in advance...... Perhaps, there is an accident in the necessity, and there is a necessity in the accident? The underground pollution has actually been affecting the human world, but it is not obvious, and it can only intermittently bring some mysterious events, and when this research advances, "he" will completely wake up? Crane subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Armed with a lantern, he exited the room and headed deeper into the Institute, keeping an eye out for anything else worth paying attention to.

After walking for dozens of seconds, his eyes suddenly darkened a lot.

The dim glow of the horse lantern was swallowed up by the area in front of it!

Klein took a closer look and saw a "cliff" two steps away.

That part of the institute had collapsed into the ground, dark and deep and empty, with no end in sight.

Faintly, Crane seemed to hear a silent cry, which came from the depths of the earth, directly in his head.

This feeling Klein once had, brought about by the bronze door in the Hall of Honesty.

He frowned slightly, and took several steps back, ready to lift the maintenance of the historical pore image.

At this moment, a shriveled palm with only skin and bones poked out of the illuminated darkness and clung to the edge of the "cliff".

Then, a figure leaped out and landed in front of Crane's eyes.

He wears a peaked soft hat, a classical black robe, and a monocle stuck in the socket of his right eye, which is none other than the "Angel of Time" Amon.

But this Amun's state is not too normal, like a skeleton covered with a skin.

Klein subconsciously took a few steps back, watching Amun's flesh and blood in front of him quickly fill.

He pushed the monocle and said with a smile:

"There were visitors.

"You are?"
