There is nothing in the open hall, and a few lonely pillars lined up from both sides. Rather than saying that this place is a laboratory, it is more like a museum.

Xu Ling staggered forward a few steps, leaned against a pillar and looked back, and saw the black shadows wandering at the door and never moving forward any further.

He was a little surprised. He thought this was the source of demonization, and it should be the base camp of those monsters, but he didn't know why he was isolated from the outside.

"Is there something here that makes them feel afraid?"

Xu Ling suddenly had hope in his heart. If he could find something that made the shadows cringe, he might be able to save Frig and Locke, who were ignorant of life and death, and even completely resolve the abnormality of the extreme west.

He held the pillar and ran forward, and the wounds on his body kept bleeding, but his pace never stopped.

After a while of trotting, a spiral staircase appeared at the end of the hall. Xu Ling walked under the ladder and looked up. He saw that the walls and handrails were covered with flesh and blood, jumping one after another, looking very creepy.

After hesitating for less than two seconds, he resolutely walked up the steps.

Standing in front of the flesh and blood, Xu Ling saw them crawling out of the corridor on the second floor, feeling as if he was walking into the throat of a giant beast.

The sole of the boot was stomping on the ground, and the soft touch was even more uncomfortable, but he still walked forward firmly, and these flesh and blood were like signs of road, which naturally led him to a certain position.

The corridor on the second floor is very long, as if it can be seen at first sight. Except for the area illuminated by the flashlight, everything else is pitch black.

Xu Ling didn't care about anything else and walked forward along the Flesh Corridor. He knew that behind it must be the hidden secret of the laboratory.

Finally, he found a door wrapped in flesh and blood at the end.

Bang.

He used his shoulder to knock it away, and the whole person did not stabilize under inertia and fell heavily to the ground.

Resist the pain and stood up. I saw that this was a closed terrace. Except for the corridor we had just come, the other angles were floor-to-ceiling glass. At this time, the centaur was outside the window, staring at itself with one eye. There were still a few black shadows crawling on the window, but they obviously didn't dare to come in.

Xu Ling looked away and looked at the center of the closed terrace. A black ball was floating in the air. The outside of it looked like vines were wrapped around it, but Xu Ling could feel that it was a substantial power of chaos. In the middle of the ball, there was a white ball of light, as if trapped in it.

As he approached the ball, the shadows and centaurs outside the glass became obviously more manic, and they roared threateningly, as if they wanted to stop themselves from getting closer.

But this further confirmed Xu Ling's idea. What they feared was this thing. To be precise, it should be the milky white light ball in it.

When he walked closer and reached out to touch, the centaur finally couldn't help it. It stretched out its hand and all the black shadows broke into the window at the same time and rushed over.

Xu Ling sneered.

You don't want me to touch you, I insist on it.

He stretched out his bloody hands and grabbed the black vine ball.

[SAN-138]

[SAN-425]

[SAN-331]

...

The pure chaos caused Xu Ling's SAN value to be reduced wildly, and it was directly zeroed in a blink of an eye. Although there was no explanation, he knew that he had reached the standard of mutation, but he had already sacrificed his life and did not intend to stop at all. He even held his other hand and tore the ball open with force.

At this time, the black shadows had already rushed to the front, and the nearest claws were only a few centimeters away from him.

However, Xu Ling became more calmer. He reached out and held the light ball in the vine ball, and then his vision was occupied by pure white light.

When the light faded and his vision returned to normal, the changes around him failed to react for a while.

With blue sky and white clouds, an empty road extends from the distant metropolis. When we arrive at this suburb with little people, there is a circle of walls in front of us, and the gates opened in the middle are soldiers with live ammunition.

Looking through this gate, there is a laboratory building painted white, the place where Xu Ling broke into just now.

Suddenly, a white car drove over from the highway and stopped in front of the door.

The car door opened and a woman got off from above. Xu Ling narrowed her eyes. This was Luo Ji, but her height was not as tall as she remembered, but her legs were still quite long.

After she came down, she was able to enter the gate with repeated verification by the several gatekeepers, and she also went through a round of body searches before entering.

When Xu Ling saw her walking in, he hurriedly followed. As expected, the people here seemed to be unable to see him.

He trotted to Loji and walked with her to the laboratory building. The windows inside were bright and clean, not as dark as when he was chased in.

There were still many people coming and going in the building, and they were in a hurry, as if they were reluctant to waste a second.

Xu Ling saw many familiar faces in it, including Vidal, Hodder, Bode, Heimdo, and all the governors appeared here, but at this time, they were all real humans.

After seeing these people, he also confirmed his guess. This is the Frick Dittot Laboratory in Huo Xingnai City more than 120 years ago.

Xu Ling followed Luo Ji to the second floor. At this time, there were layers of electronic locks in the corridor, and they had to verify their identity before they could enter.

The two walked through the corridor and approached the closed terrace where the twig ball and the light ball were located, but they did not see what Xu Ling had just seen. There were only various instruments and equipment that he did not know.

"How is the deciphering?"

After Loji walked in, he said to a young man who looked like an assistant.

"Sorry, it's a little bit late, but I think it's soon."

Loki didn't speak and checked the previous progress on the instrument.

Xu Ling did not continue to stay here because he found that he was not a physical entity, which means that layers of access control could not constitute an obstacle, so he simply checked everywhere in the laboratory to find out what these people were doing.

Finally, he walked through every corner of the laboratory and vaguely figured out that these people seemed to have intercepted some unknown signal. Combined with the clues given by Loki before, it can be inferred that this set of signals should have come from outside the earth.

What this laboratory is studying is the content of the signal, but the progress seems to be not smooth yet.

Xu Ling continued to wait, time passed quickly, one day, two days, three days... After two months, things finally made a breakthrough.

"Professor! We translated a set of syllables. Although we don't understand the meaning, we believe that this is indeed a greeting from extraterrestrial civilization!"

Waiting bored, after hearing this, Xu Ling immediately became energetic and followed the people in a hurry to the terrace again.

This time, most of the people in the laboratory, including the main researchers who later became eleven supervisors, gathered here. The young assistant who had just called out wrote down the translated syllables on paper and read them out a little awkwardly.

When Xu Ling heard this, he immediately knew that this sentence was the source of all evil. It was not good or bad, but... it sounded like it was a SAN.

He was about to continue to see what was going on behind him, but suddenly he heard a familiar female voice coming from behind.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have been sleeping longer and longer."

Xu Ling turned around and saw a woman wearing the ancient style palace outfit of Xia Kingdom. She looked at herself quietly and said, "Welcome back."
