The dark blood rain dripped into the rotten ruins.
Under the dark sky, the dark colors emerging from various machines illuminated the rotten things and this twisted and disordered weird space.
Crash-crash-
The broken world that collapsed more thoroughly than the residential area in the real world before, which no longer obeyed even the basic rules of gravity, was vividly presented to the eyes of all those who broke into this area at this moment.
The towering skyscrapers floated horizontally in the air, with dead trees and eyeballs growing out. The collapsed building ruins were mixed with each other, but there was a road extending from it and hanging upside down in the air. Every street lamp on it was hung with rotten and shapeless corpses. The tilted school was combined with the crematorium, and one smiling child after another jumped into the burning furnace as if playing a game, making sounds of laughter and crying inside...
There were broken corpses everywhere, twisted smiles everywhere, and rotten and dilapidated buildings everywhere.
It was like all kinds of hysteria and madness gathered together at this moment, merging with each other, repelling each other, presenting such a distorted world in a completely chaotic and crazy appearance, showing a surreal and bizarre scene in an extremely vivid way.
"So, the key core point is somewhere here?"
Jizi murmured in a low voice, and the expression on his face had become more solemn than ever before.
Through her own perception that far exceeded that of ordinary players, the girl could clearly understand the essence of this strange space and what this [middle ground] between the real world and the copy space represented. Therefore, she did not hesitate and quickly took action, moving quickly along the half-collapsed road she arrived at.
[Zizi... Zizi...]
The mobile phone in the pocket made a harsh noise at this time.
Jizi, who realized the above, took out the mobile phone and found that the screen of the mobile phone that stored Gao Hai's bloody domain fragments was showing a signal capture sign. At this moment, the signal displayed on it was only two grids, and the signal grid itself showed a total of ten grids.
Is this...senior helping me?
Jianzi knew that the signal displayed represented the distance between herself and the key node.
With this thing, the difficulty of searching for nodes would be much lower, at least Jianzi would not need to use her perception from time to time. You must know that even with the blessing that can limit the strength of perception, Jianzi's talent is still extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may attract very dangerous enemies.
As for finding the members of the Sunflower Team, or looking for Lily Kawaka, Jianzi has no way to do it now. The spatial structure of this [Boundary Space] itself is too chaotic. She has no way to perceive the specific location of other people here. She can only barely determine that everyone is somewhere in this space. Therefore, now she can only pray that everyone can be safe and sound, and take action as soon as possible to try to find the location of the node that needs to be destroyed as soon as possible.
[Zizi... Zizi...]
The harsh current noise changes as Jianzi moves, and the signal strength displayed on the screen also begins to rise and fall, and gradually changes.
[Zizizizizi...]
Amid the footsteps, several members of the Sunflower Team who had met up with great difficulty also began to move and began to run in the ruins.
"What kind of hell is this place? It always feels like a scene that would only appear in a nightmare."
Kazama Ren, who was carrying a scimitar, said as he reached out to wipe the blood raindrops that fell on his head, with a somewhat disgusted expression on his face.
"Newly released information has appeared on our mobile phones. It should have been transmitted after Miss Yotsuya summoned Mr. Gao's consciousness. You can see the parts of this information that have not been deleted. Well, our current location should be an area where the projections of several dusk-level copies are intertwined. If we are here, we don't have to worry about the attacks of strange creatures for the time being. Seventeen, you will be responsible for scouting on the right. Alas, I hope others will have such good luck."
Yu Qingshan, the captain of the Sunflower Team, said with a mountaineering pick, and ordered another teammate Seventeen who had met up with him to scout the surrounding environment with him.
Looking around, there are ruined buildings in a state of decay everywhere, and rusty barbed wire fences that are either intact or broken and interspersed in the ruins of those buildings.
The roadside vendors and shops are basically blocked. They are either directly sealed or leave all kinds of terrifying traces. It looks like a blockade set up to block some terrible worries. Others are blocked by various debris. Some of the walls of some buildings even have help messages left, as if these places have been used as shelters for some people. Of course, no matter what the situation is, the players who enter this place are very sure that there will be no so-called "survivors" here. After all, the disgusting filthy smell in the air alone is something that ordinary people cannot bear.
"New information? That means Mr. Gao has already known the situation here. Obviously, we have just started the formal investigation of this space, but Mr. Gao has sent us the strategy. That person is really terrible to the extent that we can't help but kneel down and worship him."
Kazama Lian, who is already a well-informed veteran player, could not help but sigh after hearing Yu Qingshan's words. She had to sigh, because from the moment the rescue mission officially began, what Gao Hai showed to every player was too shocking and far beyond their imagination. So many players have already regarded Gao Hai as a god-like existence. For example, Kazama Lian sincerely believed that the other party was a god incarnate, and even really thought about using the obsession to turn herself back to the JK stage, and then try to be favored by the other party.
Well, of course, this is just a fantasy. If she really wants to put it into action, she still can't do it, and now is not the time to do such a thing.
[Zizi...]
As Kazama Lian's finger tapped the red-glowing mobile phone screen, the screen image that originally showed ten signal grids quickly changed, and a text investigation report popped up.
[Alice's "Edge Space" Exploration Record]
The title of the report is in a very cute font, which looks crooked, and there is a bunny emoticon on the edge.
Alice...
Kazama Ren knew this name, which was originally tied to a high-difficulty dungeon in the eyes of high-level players. Even though the dungeon has been destroyed and it has been confirmed that it was destroyed by Mr. Gao himself, when this name appears in such a deliberately cute way, it still causes fear in many players and makes them feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Kazama Ren is not very good and cannot play the Red Moon dungeon, so she does not have such a psychological shadow, so she naturally starts to read this report.
[The real world and the dungeon world, these two different worlds should represent two completely different concepts of the universe]
[The former is a materialistic world, where planets, stars, and various substances constitute the universe itself in units of light years; the latter is a spiritual world, which is a refinement of the emotions and memories of the dead one after another, and is an unrealistic and bizarre world made of "human beings" as materials]
[The two worlds should be clearly distinguished. Even if the "sacrifice game" can break the gap, even if the dungeons above the Red Moon level can actively project their own power into the real world, these are only temporary effects and cannot last. In other words, the way to break the gap that was originally recognized by humans and discovered by players is just to establish a temporary channel. This channel itself cannot exist continuously and will dissipate by itself after reaching the limit]
[But through the investigation of these "marginal spaces" extending from the "hospital" to the real world, a completely different conclusion was drawn. This time, the passage can exist for a long time. These existences that should be excluded by the real world have built a passage between the two worlds that takes into account the characteristics of both worlds and can connect the two worlds for a long time. This is very unusual. After all, no matter how powerful the "hospital" is, it is still just a copy in essence. It cannot avoid the characteristics that the copy itself should have, so there must be an explanation behind this irregular phenomenon.
[However, with the fragility of human beings, it is still too difficult to find the answer alive. So this time, Alice will help everyone investigate. This is the result that Alice has spent a lot of effort to get. Everyone must read it with gratitude~]
"... You don't have to read those nonsense words together."
In a dilapidated street, Li Ling looked at Wang Gui who was reading the information behind him with a complicated expression. She endured and endured, but finally couldn't help but speak.
It was so strange that a man in his forties read out the cute words of a little girl like Alice. It was so strange that Li Ling couldn't help but use her toes to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house.
"Uh, sorry, I occasionally read my granddaughter's composition, so I'm used to reading these words out."
Wang Gui, who knew that his approach was a waste of time, touched his head and smiled, and then continued to read the content of the information in a low voice. This time, he omitted some of Alice's deliberately cute words as much as possible to make the content of the information less two-dimensional. Of course, he would still read it out occasionally. Not far from Wang Gui, Angel, another member of the Sunflower Team, had no intention of listening to the information at all, but just stared at this twisted and disordered weird space in a trance.
"..."
Angel opened his mouth but did not make any sound, just smiled silently.
I felt it, very clearly, the echoing cries were like the sounds my family had made.
Is this the truth I'm looking for? No, not completely, but there are similarities. Too similar, too similar, to such an extent that it is already abnormal, so there must be a connection, there must be an extraordinary connection between this place and the truth I am looking for!
Angel's eyes were already filled with a bit of fanaticism.
For a player named Frances Yuan Angel, she will never forget her father, a folklorist, investigating a strange relic and the disaster it brought to her family. Angel's entire family died that day, and the body's skin was peeled off, words were written on it, and it was merged with the relic. Of course, it was not actually a relic, but an obsession with a strong curse effect that was abandoned by an unknown player.
Angel was the only person who survived after being exposed to the out-of-control obsession. She successfully controlled the object and became a player and a mystic. Although part of her body and soul were permanently changed after that day, and the changes she experienced in her subsequent career as a player continued to accumulate, Angel never forgot her original intention and what she wanted to do. What you want to find through the obsessive human-skin book called [Mysterious Book].
Now, I finally found a clue.
Then the next question is to determine the specific location of the clues and find the place that allows you to get closer to the truth. As for other things, it is no longer important. Well, it's... it doesn't matter anymore? Um……
Angel, who remained silent, did not reveal anything unusual in the end.
Li Ling, on the other hand, frowned as she listened to Wang Gui's words, lowered her head and closed her eyes, thinking silently.
[First of all, we need to define these "marginal spaces" and make it clear what they are. The answer is simple, they are copies, and they are actually copies in nature]
[But just like bugs that generate errors, they should appear in the dungeon world but appear in places they shouldn't appear]
[The reason for this lies in the "hospital" itself's action of "deceiving the world". This trick is actually quite subtle. If I were not a human being and could understand all of this in a way other than human senses, I would have been deceived as well. But I’m not, I’m the lovely Alice, so I finally figured out the key (Li Ling: Didn’t I tell you not to read this kind of sentence out? You’re not embarrassed at all, are you?!)]
[The existence of "edge space" is essentially the correspondence of the Trinity, the resonance of three different nodes in the real world, the replica world, and the boundary between the two. The nodes in the real world are the environment in which the monsters in the copy once lived when they were humans, and are the existence of the material world they left behind in the real world. Usually there is a deep connection between this node and the monster, such as the hospital where the monster lived when it was a living person, such as home, such as the store it operates, etc. Although these anchor points that exist in the real world are not powerful, after decades of intentional cultivation by the "hospital", these anchor points eventually have a certain degree of power]
[As for the key anchor point in the dungeon world, this is very intuitive, that is, the core obsession. Only the core obsession, which is the key foundation for the existence of the copy, can exist as a node, and one thing is certain. That is the scene in the real world that resonates with the core obsession as the key corresponding point. It must be a place of great significance that this core obsession has been obsessed with during its lifetime. Only in this way can it have enough resonance. Just like Red Moon-level dungeons always absorb ordinary people in corresponding scenes]
[And finally, as the third key point to build a bridge between the real world and the copy, the core obsession is the corpse of a living person]
Corpse?
Sitting in a dilapidated ruins, Kita Ikuyo was flipping through the text on his mobile phone, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The living person transformed into a strange thing, but the corpse was left behind as a medium of connection.
Memories and emotions also become ritual media under the power of strange stories, and the combination of multiple media forms this unrealistic and distorted space.
No wonder this place is so twisted and chaotic. Is this the result of the fusion of the projections of how many copies?
But no matter what, what needs to be done will not change.
Thinking this way, Kita Ikuyo lowered his head and turned his attention to the remaining words in this document.
[I have not been able to determine the specific location of the corpse, but I am sure that the "hospital" used some method to preserve the human corpse that had turned into a monster. It is very likely that there are still quite a few preserved level of activity, it is even possible to be alive in a direct physiological sense】
[So all of this is connected in series from beginning to end, and is the result of the guidance of the "hospital" itself]
["Hospital" used its own power to seduce humans in the real world, causing them to die after experiencing various pains and tortures. They were transformed into monsters and fell into the dungeon world, becoming the core of a lower-level dungeon of "Hospital"]
[At the same time, the "hospital" retained its core obsession of being a human body, created a third node out of thin air, and placed this node in the void outside the copy world and the real world in some way, thus A channel to the void was established for the other two nodes]
[I have not been able to fully interpret the specific methods used and how to achieve the current effect. After all, although Alice is very powerful, because Alice is not a human, there are some things that only humans can understand, and Alice has no way to confirm. Therefore, this issue can only be left to the players to confirm. Of course, Alice will definitely tell everyone what she can tell you before doing so.]
[The "Hospital" creates a large number of channels. It is obvious that a single channel is unstable. After all, the gap between the real world and the copy world is not so easy to break. Therefore, in order to achieve sufficient effects, the method adopted by the "Hospital" is to violently pile up , is to fuse together the corpses of the core obsessions belonging to different copies one after another, and use this simple and crude method to directly establish a channel. After the passage was successfully built, the "hospital" continued to invest its power into the real world, thereby gradually pulling the real world into the copy world, creating huge disasters that now cover the entire human civilization]
[And precisely because the "hospital" uses crude methods equivalent to hard piles, the method to destroy the passage is also very simple, that is, find the corpse as the node and destroy it directly. After all, the corpse is still a carbon-based structure. It can be burned with fire or exploded with cannonballs or any number of martial arts. After all, it is not as difficult to destroy as a monster. So as long as enough node corpses are destroyed, the channel will naturally not be able to maintain. Until then, all the players who go deep into these edge spaces to carry out destruction, can you successfully return to the real world during the collapse of the passage? Alice has great doubts about this】
[If you can't survive, or you came here with the idea of sacrificing yourself from the beginning, you might as well try praying to Alice or praying to Gao Hai. Maybe your prayers can really penetrate the barriers of space and bring you hope of redeeming your life. Alice means this sentence sincerely (Li Ling: That’s enough, that’s enough, don’t read this part out!)]
Regarding the issue of sacrifice that was lightly mentioned at the end of the information, it did not cause any violent reactions from the players who read the text.
Yotsuya Miko and Kita Ikuyo are confident. After already possessing powerful strength that surpasses Red Moon-level players, these two people do not think that they will die together with the collapsed passage after destroying the node. In other words, even if they really die, they can come back again. Of course, if the latter situation can be avoided, it must be avoided as much as possible. After all, the damage caused to Gao Hai every time he switches back is constantly accumulating, and this time the enemy will not be easily disintegrated due to repeated switching back. On the contrary, it is possible Because reversing brings bigger problems.
As for the players of the Sunflower Team, as well as the players from other areas who have also entered this huge space. They were already prepared to sacrifice, so they would just laugh at the last words of the information. After all, from the moment they choose to become a rescuer and take the initiative to come to the most dangerous Tokyo, these players are already ready to put aside their own life and death and fight with all their strength.
And...in addition to these two, there is a third party, someone who can't figure out the situation.
"Is there something displayed on it? But you can't see it at all."
Lily Chuanhua stared at the phone screen for a long time, but still didn't see any clear information.
The reason for this situation is simple. The screen of her mobile phone was completely shattered during the operation. The entire screen was covered with dense cracks, making it impossible to read it. Therefore, Xiaohua could not read a single word of the information posted by Alice. Although even if she saw it, she probably wouldn't be able to understand it.
"Forget it, forget it, keep moving forward, now is not the time to stop."
Soon, Xiaohua, who found that there was no way to view information on the phone, chose to give up and turned his attention back to the front, towards the factory that was faintly shaking amidst the roar of machines in this dark space.
She had been traveling in this area for quite some time and had reached a place where she didn't even know where she was.
Along the way, Xiaohua saw a lot of weird and strange things, like patrollers and supervisors, with traces of surgical sutures all over their bodies, bleeding all the way, and the blood stains would even appear because of Xiaohua's approach. And it actively flowed towards her, like something alive. Sometimes there is nothing unusual at all on the road, but when Xiaohua walks past, blood will ooze out of the surroundings for no apparent reason, and twisted hands and eyes will grow out of the blood and approach her, scaring her. Arrived several times.
As for why Xiaohua still refuses to stop even after reaching this point, the reason why he still continues to go deep into this twisted factory is very simple, just for the corpse.
To be precise, they are human corpses, especially those that are very fresh and look like they have been dead not long ago. They also exude a sinister aura as if they may be resurrected and sit up at any time.
"Ah, found it!"
While traveling, Xiaohua had discovered another rusty conveyor belt and saw the fragmented corpses running slowly on the conveyor belt.
Climb the fence and jump onto the conveyor belt.
The girl looked around cautiously, then took out her mobile phone and pointed the red light-emitting mobile phone screen directly at a corpse.
Buzz——
After a short buzzing sound, the body was directly absorbed by the mobile phone and disappeared on the spot.
"This is the 57th one."
Xiaohua counted quietly and then quickly moved towards the next body.
Buzz——
"58."
Buzz——Buzz——
"59, 60."
Buzz buzz buzz——
"This conveyor belt is also cleared, so there are 87."
After sucking away all the bodies on the conveyor belt that were scheduled to be transported to the boiler burning with blood-red flames with the mobile phone, Xiaohua wiped the sweat from his forehead, jumped out of the conveyor belt, climbed over the fence, and then moved forward quickly.
So far, in more than ten minutes, Xiaohua has cleared the bodies on four conveyor belts.
The red light, which had been very weak, has become extremely bright under the continuous replenishment of the girl, and Xiaohua's protection has also increased, completely restored to the full state at the beginning.
Although she couldn't see the information displayed on the severely damaged phone, Xiaohua was sure that this thing had definitely recovered to 100%.
The reason why she refused to stop was that she felt that there was something wrong with this place and wanted to destroy the process of this strange factory that burned corpses. Secondly, the girl found that even if it had fully recovered, the red light could continue to absorb corpses, and after absorbing, the excess power seemed to be stored up, as if waiting to be fully released at a certain moment, and it continued to accumulate.
Xiaohua really wanted to see how much energy this thing could accumulate, and what kind of terrible power it would have when it accumulated to the limit and exploded completely. For example, could it directly blow up the entire factory in one breath, and also overturn the big furnace below. Xiaohua really wanted to see what that scene looked like.
Rumble--Rumble--
The huge machine whose purpose was incomprehensible was still running.
Xiaohua looked up and could see the surreal world composed of strange buildings that intertwined and twisted with each other above the dark sky, beyond the occasional crack.
Did all the bodies of the dead come from that distorted space?
The girl, thinking in her heart, took a step and continued to move forward.
Behind her, in a place that Xiaohua did not notice, a shadow followed behind her at some point and approached her quietly.
