The moment he crossed the portal, Hao Ren felt that everything in all directions had changed drastically, not just as simple as coming to a strange place, this change would even give people the illusion of suddenly falling into another world.He felt that every one of his senses shifted in that moment, the surrounding breath, gravity, temperature, and the atmosphere of the whole space......
The moment he stepped onto the Calamity Corridor, he realized that he had arrived in an almost otherworldly place, and although it was part of the Ancatro Realm, this space had become completely heterogeneous.Then a chill that almost penetrated into the bone marrow struck suddenly.Hao Ren shuddered, he thought he was attacked, but soon he realized that it was just a chill, and this chill was not real, but some huge, indescribable force was snooping on this side, and the hostility and coercion of this force gave him the illusion of falling into an ice cave."
What a hell of a place......
"Hao Ren muttered to himself, his voice slightly dispelling the uneasiness in his heart, and he looked around to see that he was standing in a deep corridor with no end in sight, narrower than expected, but with an extremely high, groove-like sloping roof, from which tattered curtains hung down, and although there was no wind, these curtains swayed slightly in the air.The entire hallway was made of huge black stones, devoid of any ornamentation or bright colors, and all that could be seen was oppression, as if the color had been removed from here.But the corridor was not completely dark, a faint light with no source was evenly dispersed in the air, allowing Hao Ren to see the situation clearly, and he noticed that the corridor was filled with a layer of mist, and the texture of this mist was very similar to the dense fog he had seen when he first entered the Ancatro Secret Realm.There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Izax and the others also teleported to this place.Hasselblad felt the same unusual atmosphere as Hao Ren, he held a crossbow in one hand and a rune card in the other, and his tone was very serious: "Do you feel it?"
”The Izax urn replied angrily: "Well, a powerful force is entrenched here, and is spying on this side, but it can't sense its specific location, this force seems to be scattered throughout the space, I'm afraid it's the matrix of those Chaos Shadows, if they have a matrix." ”Vivien was the last to come in, and she frowned, but she was a little baffled after hearing the conversation between Hasselblad and Izax: "Great power?
Is there one?
Why don't I feel it?
”"You don't feel it?"
Hao Ren glanced at Vivian in surprise, "I feel it, goosebumps fall all over my body." ”"I just think it's a terrible atmosphere," Vivien said uncomfortably as she craned her neck, "not just the darkness, but the feeling that something lurks on all sides, but not anything else." ”Hao Ren and Izzax looked at each other.They all clearly felt that there was something indescribably powerful entrenched in this space, although it could not be described in words, but the feeling of being targeted by that thing made people's hairs stand on end, and there was no mistake, but Vivien, who had always had a keen sense, didn't feel anything here, which was a bit abnormal."
I don't know what's going on," Vivien also knew that Hao Ren and they wouldn't lie, her expression became serious, "It looks like my perception has shifted from yours......
There are two possibilities, either the space is different, and different people perceive different things here, or the problem is with me. ”Vivien's second guess was not explicit, because she herself knew that there were so many strange things about her that she couldn't explain them.But she guessed that the problem might have something to do with her success in sealing the Shadows of Chaos thousands of years ago: if she could ignore the anomalous atmosphere in this space, maybe she would have a chance to reseal them.There was only one path in the corridor, and Vorgus was right, this labyrinth of shadows was used to trap the irrational and stupid, and a sane person would not see the countless forks and traps that dotted the entire labyrinth.After gathering their spirits a little, Yitzax and Hao Ren took the lead, heading into the depths of the seemingly endless corridor.The mist and dim light obstructed the group's vision, but Hao Ren was not an ordinary person himself, so he could still see the situation clearly here.And they don't dare to make any light at will: the light creates shadows, and the shadows attract the shadows of chaos, which adds to the danger.The peculiarity of the Shadows of Chaos is that they do not simply lurk in the darkness, but in the shadows of light and darkness at the same time, so the overall darkness of the corridor is safe: without light, the shadows cannot be highlighted.This is probably one of the sealing methods of this "shadow labyrinth".The corridor of disaster was long and winding, with straight corridors and corners appearing again and again, but there was no end in sight, and Hao Ren could only vaguely tell from the distribution of these corners that he was indeed walking in a labyrinth: the corridor was shaped like a winding path in the labyrinth.He guessed that there must be countless forks and secret doors hidden in the seemingly smooth walls around him, but he was too conscious to detect these invisible paths.Maybe after being infected by the Shadow of Chaos, you'll be able to see the hidden paths?
Hao Ren suddenly had this unprovoked thought in his mind, and then quickly shook his head to rule out this dangerous thought.This strange space was so oppressive that it made his mind strange as well.Yitzax walked next to Hao Ren, and he stroked the black rocks on the wall of the corridor with his hand: "This space has been completely heterogeneous, these stones ......
They were originally stones, but now they feel creature greasy, but their material hasn't changed, and there's nothing covering the surface, it's the field that's changing, it's distorting the nature of these stones. ”"How long have we been gone?"
Hasselblad asked suddenly.Hao Ren took out the data terminal from his pocket to check the time: "It's almost two hours, this broken place is quite big." ”As soon as the data terminal was taken out, he quickly lowered his brightness: "Shhhh ”Hasselblad was stunned, and suddenly pointed to the data terminal: "You still brought this in?"
It's not that it's just us ......"
"This should be fine," Hao Ren scratched his hair, "It's not affected by the shadow of chaos, and although it's quite broken, in fact, we can't count it as a number of people, because it's an AI ......"
The data terminal slammed on Hao Ren's head: "You're not human!"
”Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal: "Are you human?"
”"This machine is not human.""
Then you chirp crookedly!""
Oh too."
Hasselblad: "......"
"So I advise you not to study these weird things on Hao Ren," Vivien glanced at Hasselblad, "just think of him as a robot cat, just know that he's amazing, and don't justify anything in his pocket." ”Hao Ren: "......"
In any case, the interruption of the data terminal has slightly dispelled the oppressive atmosphere that lingers around.Hao Ren stuffed the alloy brick into his pocket and looked up at the still long corridor in the distance, he could still feel that the "aftermath" of that powerful force was still surging around him, but he couldn't feel that he was really closer to the body of that power.It's as if the space is infinitely extended.But there was a limit to the seemingly endless corridors, and after another hour of ongoing, Hao Ren noticed a change in the surroundings: the corridors began to widen, the corners were decreasing, and they seemed to be approaching the heart of the massive building.A door suddenly appeared in front of him, and an aura of oppression, chaos, terror, and hatred and hostility came from behind the gate, and Hao Ren exchanged glances and immediately ran towards the gate."
There's a word on it!"
Vivien seemed to be completely unaffected by the aura around her, and while Hao Ren and the others were waiting for the aura coming from the gate, she observed the stone door with great interest, and found a few words engraved on the lower part of the gate, surprisingly it was not the Tanagus script, but the ancient Leta script: "......
An eternal curse has fallen upon us, and we, exiles from foreign lands, are burdened with sins, destined to be plunged into endless slaughter, controlled by hatred that has no root or reason......
Behind this door is the cause of all sin and curse, but no one can remove it or appease it, because the perpetrator and the victim of this sin are dead, and no one can forgive anything. ”The end of this passage is an unfamiliar name: Cassandra the Awakened.
