  Chapter 569 A Cage with No Exit (13)

"Sure enough, a fight broke out. And just as King Tianhong appeared, most likely because Feiyan's well-known command team has been wiped out, Mikael chose to deal with it because he got rid of us patrolling knights. In addition, there is no other card to intervene in the Avak incident—no one would want him to get the inheritance of Inaiga II, even the Gnosis Institute, which seems to be the same imperial power."

   "Even if it wasn't for me, Mikael would be detained by other nobles and even the eldest prince as soon as he went out... He would never even think about coming."

"On the contrary, there are obviously survivors in the central laboratory at the School of the Intellect and Grand Duke Sorin. They are still trying to grasp the most fundamental resources. Naturally, they will not be like the two outside. They have to compete first. Only then can the next initiative be taken.”

  Of course Ian knew King Tianhong. The information about these well-known powerhouses in the empire was quite complete, even if he didn’t have the silver chip, he wouldn’t be unable to remember it.

   And when the second prince fought against King Tianhong just now, he took advantage of the situation and took Frost Butterfly away from Tres' team and the two goblin ladies Hua Anmofeng. Now he is acting alone.

  His target is the central laboratory of the Avakland Center.

   After all, Ian has already figured it out.

  The ability of the prophet, whether it allows the prophet to avoid danger, or allows the prophet to take risks and gain more power to change the future-ask yourself, Ian doesn't care about these at all.

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

  And what kind of plan did Grand Duke Sorin make up, and what was his purpose? It could be so involved that several fourth energy levels came to try to fight for it.

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

  Inlaid the Frost Butterfly on the frozen shoulder seat, just like the common children's car on the train, Ian opened the ring of silence, and ran wildly in the shadows with the cheering goblins.

He laughed in his heart before he actually raised the idea of ​​'returning to the camp and making plans': "You can't wait to know all the truth about that place, you can't wait to figure out all the mysteries you don't know—you can't even die Not afraid, but afraid of this little crisis that can be estimated?"

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

  The fact is true.

  At this moment, Ian is crossing the Azure City, and he can sense that those powerhouses of the fourth energy level are now fighting in full swing above the sky.

  The bright scorching sun, the churning clouds and thundering snake gods are fighting in the atmosphere, pouring intermittent torrential rains on the earth, and bringing intermittent sunshine to the heaven and earth.

  They are testing each other. Although the fight was very fierce, they didn't use the main body, and they didn't drive the ether armament. They just used the heart light body that descended from a long distance.

  But because only the heart light body arrived, apart from being wary of the other two fourth-level powerhouses who were still lurking, they couldn't spare any energy for a while to pay attention to the movements of other people on the ground.

  So, Ian directly strengthened the Fairy Wings, and under the cover of the heavy rain, he dragged a water curtain with the ground and rushed towards the hilly area.

   But halfway through, he noticed something was wrong.

  From the information of Azure City Laboratory and the director's attached brain key, Ian got a lot of information, among which is the gate of the central laboratory.

  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. Now, no one can stop him who has the secret key from sneaking into it.

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

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

  However, now, there are vague and weird phantoms flashing in the dark forest, most of them are dead bodies that are miserable, and it can even be said that they are not human-shaped corpses.

  They were either hanging from the branches, or their rotting flesh was entangled in the roots of the trees, but they were washed out by the previous storm.

  Part of the corpse was separated from it, half of which was stripped of the skin, and half of which only had 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 experienced various experiments.

  They are all experimental subjects. People who died in the central laboratory. Their grievances continue to emerge with the increase in the overlap rate of the virtual world.

   "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 phantoms that are almost ghosts..."

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

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

   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 the stories and legends—they have no reason, can't tell who is the perpetrator, and just spread their desperate hatred.

   "How many people died here... and how many people died after experiencing extremely painful torture?"

  With this thought in his mind, Ian swung his sword silently, cutting away the phantoms who intended to hurt him.

  —He wants to know. Want to know this. I want to know what the **** Grand Duke Sorin is going to do, to trample on human life to such an extent.

  —He wanted to know what kind of mutations and mistakes made the laboratory carrying such an important plan become the ghost it is today.

  —He wants to know.

   So just go and find out.

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

   This place is already close to another world, neither a virtual world nor a reality.

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

  Because he heard voices.

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

  The sound filled the ears and soul, as if sung by the world itself, so Ian had to stop and look around to listen to this sad song.

  【—That's it, we've reached the end】

  【In the endless and deep land of souls, at the other end of the endless and vast river of death, under the rule of the invincible dead king, a new world was born】

  【Our blood and tears turned into the sea, our flesh and blood became the land, our lament rose into the sky, our despair condensed into the sun】

  【The burning of our hatred is the fire that burns out the barrenness, our last breath is the wind that sweeps the world at birth】

  【We will live forever in this cage with no exit, we will live forever in this **** with no redemption—only despair, hatred, pain and sorrow are with us】

  【We will watch you, all those who are destined to die but not dead】

  【We will not get mercy and salvation】

  【Just like you】
