Fast Forward To 3077

The dinner is over.

Satisfied members of the expedition team were assigned to the rooms in the observation station that had already been prepared, and the action time was set to be tomorrow morning.

Xu Jiu put the backpack and Ascendant Light on the bed, and did not intend to rest, and went straight to the top of the observation station.

Zheng Yi has been waiting here in advance.

Standing across the wall on the edge of the platform, I looked back at Xu Jiu, Zheng Yi lit the cigarette between his fingers, muttered,

"It looks like it will rain tomorrow , Really bad luck, nothing goes well."

I looked up.

The dark clouds accumulate in the night sky, and the stars and moons are not visible.

The oncoming night breeze is wet and cold, blowing the corners of the windbreaker and hunting.

"What the hell is the second thing that the stationmaster said?"

Leaping up on the fence with one hand, sitting with two legs straddling outside, Xu Jiu waved his hand Rejected, he and Zheng Yi met separately after everyone was separated, of course not because of coincidence, but because the two had discussed it at the dinner table.

The second thing the webmaster said has little to do with the environmental changes around the crown-level special area, but refers to what happened on the night of the abnormal outbreak of the crown-level special area.

At the time, Xu Jiu was at Wushan Gathering Point. Even if he rose to the sky, he saw only a dark red halo like hell lava rising to the sky, but the people in the observation station watched the whole process.

Because of the sudden incident, the occultists in the observation station fell into chaos in an instant, and the rapidly deteriorating mental state forced others to look after these people immediately. In the process, an accident happened.

The special physique of the occultist itself makes them start to run away after being affected by the shock wave at close range!

Even the elites stationed at the observation station are still inevitably affected in the face of the mental shock from their companions.

That's all there is to it. The observatory is not without equipment and medicines to treat mental disorder, but the problem lies in the subsequent experience of these affected people.

"The source of the occultist’s abilities is very special. Their rampage will cause a certain degree of spiritual pollution to the surroundings. This is for sure. People at the observation station think that as long as their mental state returns to normal It has not been affected, and I don’t know that there are repercussions."

Awakening ceremony is the core secret of the Secret Society, which involves evil issues, Xu Jiu has to help them keep secrets, and can only explain in another way.

"So the members of the observation station, including the station master, will have the same dream and have symptoms of sleepwalking in the near future?"

Zheng Yi suddenly turned his head and looked towards Xu Jiu.

"Yes, I'm afraid this is the reason, but it doesn't matter how it caused it. The real key lies in the content of their dreams."

Xu Jiu rubs the Ascendant on his legs. Light hilt, recalling the description of the dream by the stationmaster.

All members of the Observation Station have dreamed of appearing in the city in the Crown-level Special Zone. It is not a city that has become a relic, but a prosperous city that seems to be located in another space.

They saw a lot of grotesquely shaped "people" or humanoid creatures.

According to the webmaster, quite a few people who appear on the streets in the dreamland have strange organs, square noses, fins on their backs, weird sharp horns on their foreheads... and so on. The weird body can be seen everywhere.

The dreamer is mixed among them, the figure is completely out of control, just walking forward blindly.

This is the general content of the dream, and the scenes that each member sees in the dream will be more or less repeated, which undoubtedly means that they have entered the same dream.

Not only that, the members of these observation stations all noticed the same thing in their dreams.

That is that everyone in the city is pursuing something, and they often gather together and chant a certain slogan, but because they can’t speak their language, they can’t move around as they please, so it’s hard to get it. Know exactly what these pursuits are.

"I think these people are affected by the occultist, and they are too close to the crown-level special zone. This is what happened...In short, what they saw, most likely It’s what happened in the ruins of that city."

I wanted to ask about the situation in the crown-level special area, but I learned about these strange phenomena from the webmaster. Xu Jiu only felt that Rise.

"Is it possible that what they dream of is what is happening in the urban ruins?"

In Wushan Gathering Point, Zheng Yi said that there are a large number of urban ruins. Invisible residents, making such an inference now cannot be said to be unfounded.

"Perhaps, rather than studying whether the'people' they dreamed of are the residents you found in the ruins of that city, I am more concerned about whether those'people' are filled with evil energy. Corresponding changes will also occur."

This action is to reseal the evil, and Xu Jiu is obviously more concerned about possible crises than spending time studying the secrets in the Crown-level Special Zone.

"You can only take one step and see one step, no matter what, as long as the evil is sealed back, the bad situation in the crown special area can be alleviated."

Zheng Yi can probably guess. To Xu Jiu's thoughts, it's just that he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and the cigarette was about to burn to his fingers without noticing it.

Speaking of which, I decided to focus on the main goal of this trip.

Speaking harder, Zheng Yi knew in his heart that this might be his last journey. No matter what happened in the crown special zone, it had nothing to do with him, because he was impossible to return to Wusu City alive!

"It’s raining, if there’s nothing wrong, I’ll go back and rest first, and if there’s anything to come to me at any time."

Feeling the raindrops on her hair, Xu Jiu was not ready for the night He was outside in the rain, greeted and turned and left.

"Xu Jiu, if there is an accident this time, I hope you can take care of Madeleine and the others. These people are the backbone of Wusu City in the future...They shouldn't be left in it. "

Turning her back to Xu Jiu who had just walked out a few steps, Zheng Yi said.

"Don't worry, within my abilities, one who will not be pulled down, it's you, you can fight for yourself."

"haha, I have arranged it a long time ago."

" Alright."

Getting Xu Jiu's promise, Zheng Yi responded with a smile.

Da~

The raindrops fell on the burning end of the cigarette, and the moisture infiltrated, and the fire star, which was not bright, immediately dimmed.

Zheng Yi was stunned, put a cigarette in front of him, glanced at it and then thrown it away, his figure suddenly squatted in the dense light rain.

Back to his room, Xu Jiu put the coat on the hanger.

Standing in front of the window staring at the gray white radiance clouds over the distant crown-level special area for a while, instead of going to bed, he walked to the sofa and sat down.

It is needless to say that Wusu officials have taken care of all aspects of the observatory. Although the place is not big, all the facilities will not fall. It is just this kind of lounge and the layout inside. Not much difference from a single room in an ordinary hotel.

Take off your shoes and drive your legs on the wooden table in front of the sofa. Xu Jiu opened a can of drinks and watched the show on TV.

He is not going to sleep tonight.

The observation station is too close to the crown-level special area, and the station master has just stated clearly that most of the personnel here have been affected.

It’s nothing more than changing to the past, but now the circular bead is forcibly sealed by him because of the riot, Spirit Vision cannot be used, and the autonomous resistance to evil energy is completely ineffective.

Under the premise that environmental safety cannot be ensured, Xu Jiu will not be greedy for those hours of sleep. Moreover, given his current physical fitness, not sleeping all night will have no effect.

Take out the mobile phone to connect to the observation station's network. Xu Jiu wants to contact Vanessa to see the current status of Fu Ling. Only here did he open the chat software. Xu Jiu suddenly got up and looked back towards the wall on the right. .

There was a weird sound coming from inside just now, as if something was flying through the wall, and there was a sound of falling gravel.

Put the phone back into your pocket and press it against the wall.

The perception spread instantly, Xu Jiu's eyes flashed a touch of confusion, through his own perception, he found that the wall in front of him was not thick, and there lived a occultist next door, and the latter He was lying on the bed, some distance from the wall.

Can this kind of observation station be a tofu project?

Xu Jiu shook the head, returned to the sofa, and began to send messages to Vanessa, completely unaware of the shallow black mist seeping through the wall.

......

No words for a night.

The rain that rained last night not only did not stop, but also showed a faintly expanding trend.

The head of the observation station said that Zheng Yi's entire group could stay for two more days and wait until the weather was clear before acting, but the latter directly rejected it.

It's spring, and the rain on the wasteland is almost impossible to count. If it lasts for three to five days, are they waiting here?

When the weather clears, I am afraid that only heaven knows will become what the hell in the crown special zone.

So the entire group ate breakfast and rushed to the crown-level special area.

A distance of several kilometers, taking the off-road vehicle that was prepared long ago at the observation station, it didn't take much time to reach the periphery of the crown-level special area.

Xu Jiu got out of the car first, and was covered with a gas shield to keep out the rain.

His gaze is at the twisted bushes that stretch in front of you. When I was on the top platform of the observation station before, because of the distance and the high position, I only felt that this side was a strangely shaped thorn bush.

But now when I got to the front, Xu Jiu discovered that these "shrubs" randomly picked up a tree with a height of more than five meters, branches and thorns entangled, forcibly erected between the barrier of different light and the wasteland A wide separation belt was set up.

Together with the gloomy sky and hazy rain, it looks like a city wall at first glance.

Not to mention human beings, even those muscular hares may not be able to get in.

Faced with this situation, Madeleine took the initiative to step forward, holding the handle of the knife in her right hand and going forward to open the way, but was stopped by Xu Jiu halfway.

"You don't need to be so troublesome, you all stand behind me."

Walking to the front of the team, Xu Jiu raised his hand and punched it, which is more than three meters in diameter. The blue pillar of fire suddenly burst out, opening a channel in the blink of an eye, and immediately waved to disperse the flames.

Stepping forward with the Ascendant Light, Xu Jiu walked in the first place, his eyes patrolling around, and soon he was attracted by the purple black soil layer on the ground, even if the soil of the wasteland was drenched by rain. Now, it should also show a tan.

"This jungle is polluting the wasteland. If it continues to expand like this, the surrounding area of ​​this crown-level special area will become a restricted area in the future."

Zheng Yi walking behind Xu Jiu also I noticed the changes on the ground, and while I was talking, I suddenly noticed that Xu Jiu stopped in front of him and turned his head to stare somewhere in the front right.

Others followed and saw the black silhouettes they had seen in the photos distributed by the webmaster.

More than one!

They are in the twisted jungle less than a dozen meters away from the team. Xu Jiu can clearly see that these black silhouettes are flat, but the body is composed of an indefinite colloid. , Looks like a manifested ghost, extremely weird.

"Can you observe whether there is evil energy in them?"

As I said before, because the circular bead was sealed, Xu Jiu is now even None of the Spirit Vision abilities can be used, so he can only turn around and beckon to the nearest occultist and ask.

The occultist who was instructed to pull down the special glasses he was wearing, and then looked towards Xu Jiu nodded, and as if he could not fully express his meaning, he trot forward and said,

"Your Excellency, that group of dark shadows is filled with high concentration of evil energy, I suspect it is a weird kind."

"High concentration...I know ."

Xu Jiu scanned the eyeglasses device on the face of the occultist. Although this thing is not comparable to Spirit Vision, it also has a part of the ability to detect evil energy.

Unfortunately, the production process is extremely cumbersome. There are only a few sets in the entire Secret Society. Xu Jiu originally wanted to borrow one set, but after thinking about it, he should give it to these secret ceremony. After all, they have some props and equipment on hand. Need to be used with glasses, Xu Jiu's needs are not so urgent.

"It's a little weird, why do I think they are all looking here?"

Albert wrinkled his brows and walked to Xu Jiu's side and asked in a low voice.

Cicada Moult Level apostle, who is good at long-range attacks like Albert, is extremely sensitive to the attention from the surroundings, and now he is aware of the sight of prying eyes, but the source of these sights makes him a little uneasy .

"Try it and you will know."

Xu Jiu snapped his fingers, and a Fireball shot at a black silhouette.

As a result, Fireball penetrated the body of the black silhouette without causing any waves.

"There is no collision, there is a high probability that it is a collection of evil energy...leave it alone, do our thing first."

Short test, no Xu Jiu decisively gave up any further temptations and moved on.

On the top platform last night, Xu Jiu has reached a consensus with Zheng Yi to give priority to returning the sealed evil creatures to their original positions no matter what.

Across the jungle wall, the entire group finally came to the barrier of different light, Xu Jiu stopped, looked back at the team, everyone was standing in front of him, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Xu Jiu turned his eyes to Zheng Yi and raised his eyebrows. The latter immediately understood, turned to face the other team members, and said loudly,

"Everyone, the success or failure of this operation is How important is it, I don’t need to say more...according to the original plan, first go to the city ruins to find the ferry tickets and set off!"

Xu Jiu’s original intention was to let Zheng Yi say a few words. Encouraging morale, the latter did not intend to talk nonsense.

Only when the words were finished, Zheng Yibian replaced Xu Jiu to the forefront of the team and stepped into the barrier of different light with his head high.

This action is more effective than any language!
