Not long after they left the interrogation room, the path before Feng bujue’s group turned into a fork.
This was an intersection. There were no signs or any visible hints.
No matter if he looked to the left, right, or front, there was no difference in the corridor.
If this was a normal difficulty scenario, Feng bujue would have tried to trick Igor into splitting up with him to increase the search area and increase the efficiency.
However, this was a nightmare scenario … And brother Jue had already seen the strength of the monsters in this scenario.
In all fairness, with his current physical condition, he might not even survive even if he encountered monsters under Igor’s protection … Not to mention acting alone.
Furthermore, according to Igor’s personality, which was extremely afraid of supernatural things, he might not agree to split up with brother Jue.
Therefore, Feng bujue simply pointed forward, signaling for the man to continue leading the way.
Just like that, the two of them walked for a while, and along the way … They passed by four rooms.
The metal doors of these four rooms were all tightly shut, and there were no signs on the doors of the rooms. Even though brother Jue could have stopped picking the lock at any time, he did not. Based on his previous experience in the room of statues, he believed that he should see something related to the main plot before making a decision.
“This is weird …” After the four rooms were left behind, Feng bujue could not help but think, just how big is this scenario? After walking for such a long distance … There are no plot clues, puzzles, monsters, and so far, all the corridors and rooms … Are not marked. Could it be that everyone working in this underground laboratory has a map of the entire base in their minds?”
Indeed, this was not normal …
Although “no signs” could be used to confuse enemies in the event of an invasion, it was a little ridiculous to make the scenery of each section of the corridor so similar.
Other than a weirdo like Feng bujue, who could draw a map in his mind and use the patterns on the wall to tell where they were, for most normal people … This place was a maze. Basically, as long as you walked to an intersection, closed your eyes, and turned a few times before opening them again, you would immediately be unable to determine where you came from …
Under such a setup, not only would the intruders be troubled, even the daily work of the internal staff would be affected. This was undoubtedly very unreasonable.
“Eh? Brother Feng, it’s time for you to change your blood bag. ” Igor’s reminder pulled Feng bujue back from his thoughts.
“Eh? “Feng bujue raised his eyes to look, and indeed, the third bag of blood was almost finished.
Thus, the two of them stopped in their tracks and prepared to switch to their fourth and final Health Pack.
“Igor, I have something to ask you.” When they were about to insert the needle, Feng bujue said,”
“What is it?” Igor said.
“Was this place like this when you were sent here?” Feng bujue continued,”also, do you remember the way out? Or do you know where I can find a map or something?”
“I don’t know.” Igor shook his head.”I was carried in here with my head covered.” He mused,”my last memory outside … Was being carried into a car by a few soldiers. When I got on the bus, someone put a mask on my head. When the mask was removed … I was already lying in this base. ”
This answer was not unexpected, and Feng bujue only asked this with the intention of giving it a try.
“I understand …” When brother Jue answered, the blood bags had been changed.”Okay, then let’s move on …” He raised his eyes to look at the corridor ahead.”We’ll just keep moving forward. Even if we can’t find the exit, we’ll find it …”
He didn’t manage to finish his sentence, because the scene that appeared in front of him forced him to swallow his last word.
At that moment, Feng bujue saw a human-shaped creature that looked like a dried corpse … Walking toward them from dozens of meters away.
“Hehehehe …” The monster also saw brother Jue at the same time and let out a weird, hollow laugh.
As the laughter spread, Igor turned around and was immediately shocked.””Argh! Mo … Mo Mo …”
He was so scared that he stuttered, unable to even say a proper word.
“Don’t panic, it can’t see you. ” Feng bujue was as calm as ever. He quickly told Igor,”in any case, it is coming for me. When it gets close, try to cut its head off.”
Actually, brother Jue did not know if the method of beheading someone would work, but based on his many years of experience fighting against all kinds of demons and monsters, the success rate of this method was relatively high.
Da, da, da da … Da da da da …
The monster first took a few steps, then gradually accelerated and ran at full speed.
From the sound of its footsteps, she could tell that it was wearing shoes. Looking at its upper body … There were still some torn clothes, so it was definitely not the ‘brother barefoot’ that brother Jue and the others had met before. However … The two seemed to be the same species.
“Hehe … Hahahaha …” As it charged at Feng bujue, the monster laughed madly. Its laughter was creepy, and combined with its scary appearance, it looked scary even under the light.
Ten meters, seven meters, three meters …
The monster’s speed was faster than a normal person ‘s, and just by looking at it, Feng bujue knew that he would not be able to Dodge the monster’s attack.
But … He still kept his cool.
When the man was two meters away from him, brother Jue shouted,””Igor!”
This roar made Igor, who was in a state of shock and daze, come back to his senses in an instant. After a 0.01 second of reaction time, Igor instinctively and without thinking, acted according to Feng bujue’s previous instructions!
Huuuu
His rough arms and sharp knife whirled with the wind.
It was just as Feng bujue had predicted … The monster could not ‘see’ Igor, so when the blade was about to land on it, it was too late for it to Dodge.
Kachadha
Igor’s hand rose and his blade fell. The physical fitness of this vnovoid 9 enhanced human was by no means inferior to that of the monster.
Where the blade passed … Skin split open, flesh split, bones shattered, and tendons broke.
The monster’s head was chopped off, but not a drop of blood was shed. It gave people the feeling that it was a piece of meat that had been cut open and taken out of the freezer.
“Ahoho!” After its head was separated from its body, it actually let out a mournful cry.
This voice definitely did not come from his throat. Even his throat had been broken, so it was impossible for him to make such a loud noise. If he wasn’t mistaken, it should be some kind of “spirit” that was using the mouth of the dead to speak.
“Call your head!” The next second, Feng bujue raised one hand and grabbed the head that was flying toward him. Then, with a voice that was even louder than the head, he roared at the monster’s face.
At that moment, even the monster was stunned. It didn’t expect that the other party would come to take its head, and it didn’t expect that the other party would dare to talk to it after taking it. What’s more, it didn’t expect that … This kid’s attitude would be so arrogant.
“Speak!” Feng bujue lifted the monster’s head and stared at it. “What are you?”
“Hehehehe …” The monster did not answer. It only looked at brother Jue with a mocking gaze and laughed eerily.
Faced with such a response, Feng bujue was silent for two seconds before he said in a very cold tone,””I’ll give you one more chance. Immediately put away your lecherous smile and answer my question properly. Otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences.”
“Hehehe …” However, the monster put on a fearless attitude and laughed even more arrogantly.”Hehehe … Hahahahaha! Hahaha …”
Pfft!
His laughter was interrupted by a muffled sound.
That was the sound of Feng bujue grabbing its head and slamming it into the wall.
“Urgh, urgh, urgh!” After being smashed, the monster let out a muffled groan. Then, it seemed like he was finally going to say something.”You … How dare you …”
Pfft!
However, Feng bujue did not seem to want him to explain it to him.
“Ha? What did you just say?”
Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft
“The lecherous laughter is too loud, I can’t hear you~”
Pfft!
Brother Jue said the same thing in a lazy tone as he smashed the man’s face into the wall again and again.
The monster was already skin and bones, and after being touched, the skin on its face was almost gone, and the bridge of its nose was broken.
“Uh … Brother … Brother Feng …” Igor was stunned for a while and then said,”you … It can’t speak, can it?”
“Oh?” Hearing that, brother Jue put on a look of sudden realization and brought the head back to his face. He looked at the monster’s face that had been smashed to pieces and said,”is that so?”
The monster’s mouth was crooked, and it muttered fiercely,””Little … Little brat … You … You …”
Pfft!
Before it could finish, brother Jue hit it again against the wall.”Be more respectful when you address me.”
After saying that, he immediately turned his head back.
However, the monster still had a backbone.””Don’t think … I’ll give in just because you’re like this …”
Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft
“I can play like this for the whole day.” As Feng bujue said that, he called out to the man for another five or six times.
This time, when he brought the monster’s head back to his face, the latter’s face was almost unrecognizable.
“Big brother, if you have any questions, I will definitely tell you everything I know …” It seemed that the few hits just now had shattered this monster’s backbone and integrity.
“Hmm …” Feng bujue nodded in satisfaction.”Tell me what you are first.”
“We … We … Are you …” The monster replied resentfully.[We are the madness hidden in your body, eager to break free from the cage of reason at all times. We are the darkness that you hide in bed every night. When you hide in the sanctuary that we can’t set foot in, we are dormant in silence and weakness …]
This was a special audio, and when the conversation started, Feng bujue entered a state that felt like he was watching a cinematics.
When he finished, the scenery before brother Jue’s eyes changed. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived … At his mind palace.
Memories floated in the air like halos, thoughts shrouded this vast space like fog.
At this moment, time stopped.
The six figures gathered together.
Five of them stood in a circle. In the middle of the circle was a two-meter-tall, birdcage-like cage. And in that cage, there was a sixth person.
“Even though I don’t know why I’m here at a time like this, since I’m already here, I might as well ask …” The first Feng bujue said.
“You heard what that guy said just now, right?” The second Feng bujue added,”I feel like … We’ve met before.”
“I thought there were only five people here until I got in touch with Thriller Paradise and gained the ability to enter the ‘concretization mind palace’. That was when I realized … There was a sixth person.” The third Feng bujue said.
“Before this, I had always believed … That the cage was the seal that Woody had cast.” The fourth Feng bujue looked at the person in the cage and said,”and you, you are the fear that I have been sealed in.”
“Until just now, when I heard those words.” The fifth Feng bujue added,”this made me realize that perhaps … The cage … Has been there since the beginning.”
The five of them were silent for a few seconds, and then …
“Who are you?”
“Who are you?”
“Who are you?”
“Who are you?”
“You … Who are you?”
They looked at the cage at almost the same time and asked the same question in five different tones.
“Ha …” A moment later, the man in the cage sneered,”why would you doubt yourself?”
He used a question to answer their question.
“We are the same person.” Two seconds later, the man in the cage said again,”from the beginning, there were no secrets between us. Because…All the answers lie within this Palace. ”
At this point, he reached into his shirt pocket and took out a key.
Seeing this, the five people outside the cage also subconsciously put their hands into their pockets.
At that moment, every Feng bujue realized … That there was another key in their pocket.
“This cage has indeed existed from the very beginning.” The man in the cage said,”because … We want it to exist.”
“Because you don’t want to come out?” The first one, Feng bujue, asked.
“But I did come out,” the man in the cage replied.
“I know,” The second Feng bujue said,”the day we covered up Xiao Tan’s crime scene, you were there.”
“The first time you came into contact with the gambling king’s house, you were out.” The third Feng bujue said.
“You came out during the battle for the Cape.” The fourth Feng bujue said.
“And …” Finally, the fifth Feng bujue added,”on the day RUO Yu left … You came out as well.”
“Because … From the beginning to the end, I can appear at any time according to my will.” The man in the cage took over their conversation and said,”ordinary people will try their best to make themselves never come out of the cage.” At this point, he spread his hands and smiled evilly.”But we are not normal people. We are … Feng bujue.” (To be continued.)
