Alien Hotel

In another room not far from the prison cell, Song Cheng subconsciously held his breath and looked at the picture displayed on the screen, as well as the many readings and filters displayed on several other monitors next to the picture. layer-by-layer analysis of the video.

Baili Qing sat aside and looked at the pictures calmly.

"Director, did you see clearly just now?" Song Cheng turned around slightly and glanced at the expressionless Baili Qing, "When the doll took action just now..."

"I saw it," Baili Qing said calmly, "Some kind of 'silk' of unknown nature and with real volume, which can affect both the body and the spirit at the same time, but...it is different from the silk thread used by the Alice doll in my impression. Same."

Song Cheng nodded seriously and focused his attention on the surveillance screen in front of him again.

When Yusheng "reasoned" with the cultist, he was not surprised. When Yusheng and Huli cured and "criticized" the cultist three times in a row, he and Baili Qing had no reaction - after all, An operations team leader, a secret service agent Directors are all people who are used to seeing chaos and bloodshed. Although they have many responsibilities and rules, it is common for them to kill cultists when facing them. It's a bit strange, but it's not unacceptable to them.

But after Eileen took action, the situation was a little different.

"The equipment just recorded a series of special energy spikes," a middle-aged man wearing a technician's uniform sat not far away and said while paying attention to the changes in data recorded by the equipment. "The waveform is very weird, and the characteristics do not match our records. Any kind of 'power' in it, including the blessings sent by the ancient holy spirits, or the spells mastered by the 'monastics'."

As the technician spoke, he cut the waveform chart to the screen in front of Song Cheng and Baili Qing. They saw a series of violently oscillating curves appearing in the coordinate chart. Many parts of the curve even exceeded the limits of the coordinate axis, and there was another. A group of three-dimensional graphics appeared next to the coordinate axes, and the complexly transformed surfaces on them were dazzling.

"...Many feature points even exceed the detection range of the instrument," Baili Qing gradually frowned, and the corner of her eye swept over the doll "Irene" on the main monitoring screen. Her expression was slightly solemn while she continued to ask. Tao, "Tend to entity?"

"Unlike entities, the energy characteristics of entities are relatively single, not so complex, and there will be no such breakthroughs in monitoring."

Baili Qing had a rare moment of hesitation on her face, and said in a deep voice: "...Where is the Dark Angel?"

The technician's face showed an expression of astonishment and even some horror for a moment, but after seeing the serious and calm expression on the director's face, he still swallowed, without asking or thinking more, and answered honestly: "No, it's not like that, at least in the future. It cannot be compared in the existing database. And speaking of technology - if the power of the Dark Angel really enters the real world, then at least there will be few living people left on this floor."

Baili Qing said nothing, but looked solemnly at the three figures on the surveillance camera.

First there was "Yu Sheng" who thought he was a human being, then there was the beaver that was most likely from "outside the world", and now there was the doll "Irene" that was beyond the system's understanding... This "hotel" really didn't exist. A normal one.

"Continue recording," Baili Qing breathed a sigh of relief after a moment, "Then, these things recorded today will be classified as confidential."

…

Yu Sheng followed that vision and walked slowly forward in the empty and abandoned warehouse.

Following the precautions given by Eileen, he minimized his sense of existence, did not look at irrelevant corners, and did not try to control his current "body".

The bald angel cultist is "dreaming", walking in the scene that Irene weaved for him, suitable for recalling. He has temporarily forgotten his experience of being captured, but if he realizes that there is someone hidden in his mind, , then I’m afraid I’ll wake up in an instant.

With his limited field of vision, Yu Sheng carefully looked at this place and listened to the movements around him.

You can hear the sound of car horns, but it's very far away. It seems to be some distance away from the bustling urban area. You can see many stacked cans in the field of vision, as well as pipes hanging from the steel frames above. Some metal cans can still See hazard signs covered in wear or dirt...Chemical warehouse?

There are no lights around, but there is sunlight shining from several windows high up. It should be early morning or evening. Some corners in the warehouse look particularly dark, but I don't know whether it is like this in reality or whether it is the memory of the cultists. Some recall scenes have been "shielded"...

Additional footsteps came from nearby, quickly attracting Yu Sheng's attention.

He saw the perspective he was currently "parasitizing" carefully observing around, and then seemed to see a code on the surface of a metal can. The owner of the perspective seemed to feel a little more at ease, and then walked around the huge metal can from the end of the warehouse. The passage entered a secret room - a dim electric light was on in the secret room, and there were strange-shaped, lit candles placed on the ground. There were several figures standing around the candles, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Several figures?

... The two people who were caught were not the only "angel cultists" hiding in the Boundary City who worshiped a mysterious and dark angel!

Yu Sheng's heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at those figures, trying to distinguish their faces.

However, the next second, he discovered that everyone's face seemed to be covered with a layer of black mist, and even their whole bodies were covered by a vague sense of distortion. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly.

A vague feeling of rejection suddenly came, and Yu Sheng's heart tightened, and he quickly stopped this kind of "gazing" that could easily reveal his own existence.

The faces and figures of the other members were hidden... Did they use some method to hide themselves in the real world to prevent one member from being exposed to others after being arrested? Or is it some kind of "protection mechanism" rooted in the subconscious that allows the caught cultist to take the initiative to "code" his accomplices even in the dream where he is most relaxed?

Yu Sheng thought calmly, while continuing to lower his sense of existence and observing the next actions of these mysterious figures.

"You're late."

One of the vague black figures seemed to turn his head and look at the late members.

"It took a while to negotiate with the member of the Oddities Association. I have to be more cautious to prevent him from becoming suspicious," Yu Sheng's parasitic perspective answered, "He has just come into contact with the guidance of the Lord and is not pious and pious enough. Firm, still on guard against us.”

Yu Sheng immediately concentrated his attention: they were talking about "Old Zheng"!

"Well...is it going well?" At this time, another figure asked.

"Everything goes well. The target has been looking for a way to fight 'fairy tales' for many years. His desire for this path exceeds everything. Although there are still doubts, I believe he has recently tried the psychic skills I left for him. ——The power of the Lord has taken root in his mind, and 'conversion' is a matter of time."

"...So, do we really want to accept such a 'convert'?" Another person said in the corner, "He is not a qualified container, but just meets our needs at this stage. If he really converts to He is a devout believer, and coupled with his connection with 'fairy tales', it may interfere with the process of the Lord's coming..."

"After the matter is settled, let's deal with it," the person who first spoke said in an indifferent tone, "It is already a great honor for him to be able to provide certain help for the coming of the Lord, and it is the Lord's kindness to him to die while maintaining a sinless body - Moreover, a person with this kind of status in a large organization will be in great trouble once he is exposed and cannot stay for too long. "

Several other figures immediately nodded in approval.

The matter was settled.

Check out the correct version one by one!

Then, Yu Sheng suddenly felt the scene in front of him shaking, and the environment in the dream changed again——

It was still in the management room of the old warehouse, but the black shadows moving around changed their positions at some point, as if they were arranged in a specific direction around the candles. A black shadow stepped forward and added to the flames of those candles. Some kind of spice, and then these figures bent down and cooperated with each other to smear blood on the ground.

They recited obscure mantras and prayed devoutly. The candles swayed, and as the prayers gradually swayed into a unified frequency, the spices filled the firelight with strange colors, and the smoke rose, like some kind of condensation. Surrounding the shadows like a solid curtain, they drank the suspicious liquid and began to chant in unison——

“We pray to you that you may break free soon;

“We pray to you that you will wake up soon;

“We pray to you that you may come soon;

"We chant your name, so that you can find the way to wake up in this chant. We chant your name, just as you heard it when you set off on the endless road -

“An-Ka-Ai-La—Mother and Cradle, Hope and Future!

"The Protector! The Soother! The First and Last Caregiver! The Chanter! The Soother! The Nurse of Babies and Children!

“An-Ka-Ai-La!

"You and those you protect will eventually break free of the shell - the country prepared for your coming will be opened..."

The believers prayed, chanting extremely neatly as if they were controlled by the same mind, and at the same time kept repeating a word with a strange pronunciation. Following this weird and disturbing ritual, Yu Sheng saw the roof quietly cracking. A terrifying and ugly tentacle poked out of a hole, making a headache-splitting noise and a hissing friction sound.

The believers instantly fell into a certain kind of fanaticism. Even if their faces could not be seen clearly, the joy seemed to have solidified and filled the entire sacrificial place.

However, just when the tentacle was about to touch the believers and deliver a new "blessing", the burning candles on the floor suddenly made a crackling sound - it seemed that too many impurities caused the crackling sound. The flames that were originally neatly trembling lost control, and the curtain formed by the rising smoke and symbolizing a certain "border" suddenly tore and faded.

The tentacle let out a piercing whistle and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.
