Alien paradise

"Why?" Elodie paddled twice faster and caught up with him from behind. "Doesn't the evil god want to erode this world? Even if it is trapped by the God of Hidden Mist, you have dispelled the mist after fifteen years, which is equivalent to helping it regain its freedom. In theory, it can either withdraw or invade this world. There is no need to torment us alone..."

"You are right. This is also a question I haven't figured out yet. But I believe that the answer will be revealed after meeting Vanrick Fish."

As he spoke, a new steep slope appeared in front of the pool, which meant that they had passed through the water area and came to the other side of the cave. Climbing up the steep slope, Chaoyang couldn't help but frowned.

Many people also died here. Judging from their physical characteristics, they belonged to the Triton clan. Many corpses were swollen, with pus flowing out of their mouths and noses, emitting a pungent stench.

"They were killed by the potted monster." Elodie covered her nose and whispered, "It shouldn't be Vanrick who planted the seeds. Li Qian has probably been active here for quite a long time."

"Look there." Kokomochi floated between the two and pointed to the darkness in front of the right.

Even without a torch, the three of them could see at night, and the pitch-dark cave could not block their sight - the direction pointed by the magic goddess was exactly the northern extension of the metal wall, but there was an unexpected neat gap in the originally indestructible wall.

"Go and have a look."

"Follow me." Elodie stopped him and walked to the gap first, "Please have some demon consciousness."

"Demon?" Kokomochi tilted her head.

"His nickname."

"Oh, the kind that can call the wind and rain in the game, right." The little girl nodded seriously.

When I got closer to Chaoyang, I realized that this was not a gap at all, but a passage originally used to pass through the wall. There was no trace of damage around it, and it was smooth as if it had been polished.

"It seems that we all underestimated Vanrick."

He knew how to enter this underground ruins from the beginning.

"There won't be any traps hidden inside..." The angel looked worried.

"It shouldn't be." Chaoyang pointed to the ground, "Look, there are arrows printed below, as if telling us how to go after entering. The ruins that keep people away from thousands of miles are not so considerate."

As he said, not long after entering the passage, we came to the first three-way fork, and each fork was printed with text signs on the ground, namely "Airtight Room", "Disinfection Room" and "Storage No. 1". Only the fork marked with the storage had dirty muddy footprints, and the other two were evenly covered with dust.

Now even a fool knows which way to go.

"A lot of iron must have been used to build this place." Kokomochi exclaimed.

"According to the fishermen, the ruins existed when this was still a village."

The three walked forward for a few dozen meters, and Chaoyang couldn't help but exclaimed.

There was light ahead!

It was not the flickering light of candles or oil lamps, but an extremely stable light source, reflecting a soft yellow on the metal wall, just like... an incandescent lamp!

He quickened his pace and came to the corner to see that there was an embedded light source on the wall at his feet! Incandescent lamps are fine, but tubular light strips? Has this evolved directly to LED lamps? But the problem is, there is no electricity in this world, so what is the principle of this lamp?

"Wow... so beautiful." Kokomochi couldn't help squatting down and reaching out to touch the glowing part, "I have only seen such a light source in your temple before."

These lights illuminated the entire passage, and not far ahead was a metal door.

Chaoyang suddenly remembered Barif's work log... They were looking for a new type of energy...

Could this be their goal?

Even after hundreds of years, the energy supply equipment that can still make lamps emit light stably. If it really exists, the market for steam wonders will indeed suffer a fatal blow.

Chaoyang walked to the door and saw the nameplate on the lintel that read "Storage Vault No. 1".

He looked at Elodie, who nodded, condensed a strong wind in her right hand, and slowly pushed against the door with her left hand - unexpectedly, the metal door was not locked. Although it was heavy, she still slowly pushed it open.

"Kokomochi, please."

"I know." The magic goddess then cast the invisibility spell, making the three of them invisible. When everything was ready, they stepped over the threshold.

"Oh my God... What are these things..." Elodie was stunned.

Even Kokomochi took a breath.

Inside the door was a huge warehouse, with half-man-high glass jars on the floor. The jars were sealed with metal at both ends, and the middle was filled with liquid. There were tens of thousands of them. If they were just jars filled with liquid, it would be fine, but there were brains soaked in them... and there were as many as three or four brains in one jar. These completely naked brain tissues were like specimens in the laboratory, but they were covered with silk threads and emitted strings of blue light. When tens of thousands of jars were shining at the same time, almost the entire dome of the No. 1 storage warehouse was reflected in a dark blue!

Is this a cult behavior?

The bronze tube syringe used by the God of Karma to inject seeds is somewhat similar to these bottles and jars, but in order to highlight the mystery, those bronze tubes are engraved with crazy patterns and characters, and you can tell at a glance that the thing is not normal.

But what about these glass jars?

Chaoyang even saw the words "This is up" and "Handle with care" clearly written on the seal. There are even markings such as the production date and opening operation instructions on the metal cover at the top! It has a simple design, with perfect reminders, and exudes the unique beauty of industrial products...if you don't look at those brains.

It is precisely because it has nothing to do with cults that it makes people feel more creepy.

"This is the new energy that the Phlogiston Company is looking for..." he whispered, "A power supply device that can completely replace the steam structure..."

"Chaoyang, in front!" Elodie suddenly whispered, "That's Vanrick Yus!

They did find Vanrick, who was standing at the end of the warehouse, holding a beating heart in one hand, and the other hand turned into a black cloth, fighting with another petite woman.

Although the latter was small, she was surprisingly strong. She could grab the cloth while grabbing the heart.

If she is not the "sister" of Sweet Potato, then who is she!?

The three of them ran towards Vanrick together, but unexpectedly two potted monsters suddenly fell from the ceiling, blocking their way, and the invisibility spell was forcibly lifted.

"Yu's power is actually invalid..." Kokomochi said in surprise.

"Your Excellency the Envoy of God, you are here after all. "Fanrick tilted his head and looked at me, his tone showing no surprise at all, "Why, the Paradise Church, which claims to be equal and just, is going to stand against me?"

"Don't believe anything he says, he is just a puppet of the evil god now! He is not a normal person at all!" The Hidden Mist was refreshed when he saw that there were suddenly three more people in the warehouse, "Take that heart, otherwise this city will be destroyed... No, all mankind will suffer a catastrophe!"
