"As expected, a fight broke out. And just as King Tianhong appeared, it was most likely because the famous command staff of Feiyan Land had been wiped out. Mikael chose to take action because he eliminated us patrol knights. Besides, there are no other cards involved in the Awak incident - no one wants him to get the inheritance of Inaga II, not even the Gnostic Academy, which seems to be a force in the empire."

"In fact, if it weren't for me, Mikael would have been detained by other nobles and even the eldest prince as soon as he left the house... He would never even think of coming."

"On the other hand, it is the Lingzhiyuan and Grand Duke Thorin. Obviously there are survivors in the central laboratory. They are still trying to master the most fundamental resources. Naturally, they will not be like the two outside who have to compete first. Only then can we gain the next initiative.”

Of course Ian knows King Tianhong. The empire has quite complete information about these well-known powerful men. Even without the silver chip, he would not be unable to remember them.

Just when the second prince was fighting against King Tianhong, he took advantage of the situation and took Shuangdie with him, separated from Tres' team and the two fairy ladies Hua An Mo Feng, and was now acting alone.

His target is the central laboratory of the Awak Territory Center.

After all, Ian has figured it out.

Does the prophet's ability allow the prophet to avoid danger, or does it allow the prophet to take risks and gain more power to change the future? Ask yourself, Ian doesn't care about this at all.

He just wanted to know what crisis happened in the central laboratory to cause such a tragedy.

And what kind of plan did Archduke Thorin have, and what was his purpose? He could actually involve so many people, even several fourth-level people came over to try to fight for it.

"Forget it, Ian, that's who you are."

Mounting the frost butterfly on the frozen shoulder seat, just like a common children's car on the train, Ian turned on the ring of silence and ran wildly in the shadows with the cheering goblins.

He laughed in his heart that he actually had the idea of ​​returning to the camp and making plans before: "You really want to know all the truth about that place, you really want to figure out all the mysteries that you don't know - you even You’re not afraid of death, but you’re afraid of this small, measurable crisis?”

"What's more, I have avoided all the crises that can be avoided. Now is the best opportunity to go to the central laboratory!"

This is indeed the case.

At this moment, Ian was crossing the Azure City, and he could sense that the fourth-level powerhouses were now fighting fiercely in the sky.

The bright scorching sun and the snake god of churning clouds and thunder are fighting in the atmosphere, sprinkling the earth with bursts of torrential rain, and bringing bursts of bright and dim sunlight to the heaven and earth.

They are testing each other. Although the fight was very intense, they did not use their main bodies or piloted etheric weapons. They only used the mental light bodies that descended from a distance. Even if they were both broken, the most they would do was to deal cruel blows to each other.

But precisely because only the Heart Light Body arrived, apart from being wary of the other two fourth-level powerhouses who were still lurking, they were unable to spare the energy for a while to pay attention to the movements of other people on the ground.

Therefore, Ian directly strengthened the fairy wings, and under the cover of the heavy rain, he dragged a water curtain with the earth and moved rapidly towards the hilly area.

But halfway through, he noticed something was wrong.

From the information in the Azure City Laboratory and the director's brain-attached key, Ian obtained a lot of information, including the location of the central laboratory's door.

Originally, he thought that it would not be difficult to enter the laboratory - after all, the original guards and defense measures were probably completely destroyed in the mutation. As of now, no one can stop him from sneaking in with the secret key.

However, while walking on the road, Ian noticed that the surrounding environment became increasingly weird.

The hilly area is full of tall trees. If it is sunny time, this must be a beautiful scenery.

However, now, strange and shadowy phantoms are flashing in the dark forest. Most of them are dead bodies that look miserable and can even be said to be inhuman bodies.

They were either hung from branches, or their rotting flesh was entangled in tree roots, but they were washed away by the previous heavy rain.

Some of the corpses were separated from each other, with half stripped of the skin and half with only bones left; while the other part of the corpse was covered in flesh and blood, as if it had been placed in an extreme environment and had undergone various experiments.

They are all experimental subjects. People who died in the central laboratory. Their resentment continues to surface as the overlap rate of virtual realms increases.

"The coincidence rate of virtual realms here exceeds 20%, or even 30%... No soul is needed, just resentment and long-lasting pain and despair can create these almost ghostly phantoms... …”

Ian understood this when he saw these phantoms, and the existence of these phantoms was not real.

Sometimes, the boy just opened and closed his eyes, and these hideous and terrifying faces disappeared.

And sometimes, they would even rush over, trying to grab Ian's body or face, trying to tear him apart with their own pain.

Just like the unwilling ghosts in all stories and legends - they have no sense and cannot tell who is the perpetrator, and they just spread their desperate hatred.

"Here... how many people died? And how many people died after experiencing extremely painful torture?"

With this thought in his mind, Ian silently swung his sword to cut away the phantoms that intended to harm him.

- He wanted to know. Want to know this. I want to know what damn great achievement Archduke Thorin wants to do that actually requires trampling human lives to such an extent.

——He wanted to know what kind of mutations and errors could turn the laboratory carrying such an important plan into the ghost it is today.

- He wanted to know.

So just go and find out.

Ian continued to rush through the hilly area, entering the increasingly squirming, deep and dark central area.

This place is almost like an alien world, neither a virtual realm nor a reality.

The surrounding trees were full of ghostly figures, and the white laboratory building not far away was already in sight, but Ian had to slow down.

Because he heard the sound.

It was a strange song sung softly by countless children and old people, women and men.

This sound filled his ears and soul, as if it was sung by the world itself. Ian had to stop and look around, listening to this song full of sadness.

【——That's it, we have reached the end】

[In the land of endlessly deep souls, on the other side of the endless vast river of death, under the rule of the arrogant dead king, a new world was born]

[Our blood and tears turned into the sea, our flesh and blood became the land, our lamentations rose into the sky, and our despair condensed into the sun]

[The burning of our hatred is the fire that burns up the desolation, and our last breath is the birth of the violent wind that sweeps the world]

[We will live forever in this cage with no exit, and we will live forever in this hell with no redemption - only despair, hatred, pain and sorrow will be our companions]

[We will look at you, all of you who are destined to die but are not dead]

【We will not receive mercy and salvation】

【Just like you】
