Chapter 5 Gaining Powers
From the inside to the outside, this underground city seems to be composed of many concentric circles, and the center of the circle is its own goal. Daisy walked for an hour, thinking that even a lunatic would not get lost, just follow the straight.
However, she did not relax her vigilance. She learned from the TV. Whenever she walked through the intersection of the arc and the straight line, she would draw an arrow on the ground as her travel direction.
In the empty passage, there was only the sound of her footsteps. In order to keep her attention at all times, Daisy stopped every two hours to rest, drink water, and recover her strength.
In this way, she walked down the tower from twelve o'clock at noon, and now the mechanical watch shows that it is exactly eight o'clock in the evening, and she only feels that she has been walking.
Sitting on the ground and eating compressed biscuits, I threw them back in my backpack after eating two bites. I couldn't eat it anymore! Too dry! She didn't want to consume too much drinking water, and she had to plan carefully for this water. After all, the Shockwave Girl was not a superman, and she had to go back the same way to get the power.
She closed her eyes slightly to ease her nervousness. She found that as long as she held the obelisk tightly, she would regain some of her physical strength. Although it was not much, it was precious in this ghost place.
Gritting his teeth, he stood up and continued to walk inside.
Even if she didn't see a ghost all the way, she still held the pistol tightly, which was her only life-saving means at present.
At twelve o'clock that night, I still had plenty of physical strength, but my spirit was already exhausted.
Daisy had to end today's trip.
Far from solving her personal problems, she sat down with her back against the wall, put the backpack on her chest, held the obelisk in her hand to keep her body warm, and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
This silent and dark underground city that has been uninhabited for thousands of years is not a good place to sleep. Without a big comfortable bed, no pillows and quilts, she was so pitiful that she curled up like a refugee.
Her consciousness is sometimes clear, sometimes confused. Between sleep and sleep, I dreamed that my new book was horribly thrown at me, and then dreamed that I was knocked to the ground by Thanos, with blood on the ground.
I slept on and off for three hours, and when I woke up, I found that there was indeed bleeding, but it had nothing to do with Thanos, it was purely a "self" problem...
With a face full of embarrassment and confusion, he relied on the memory of his predecessor to clean up, but couldn't sleep, and decided to continue to the city center.
......
"Oh my god! It's finally here!" Daisy was disheveled at this time, not to mention sixty beautiful women, if it wasn't for her long hair, she wouldn't be able to tell her gender. After stumbling for three days, I finally came to the center of the city.
Six tall stone gates are distributed in a ring, two meters apart, supporting the inner stone chamber. There is a one-meter-high stone platform in the center. Daisy looked at the top and wondered how the structure here was designed. The intense light falls right on the stone platform through several refractions.
Rubbing her stiff cheeks, Daisy first observed her surroundings.
Once the ritual begins in memory, the surrounding stone gates will automatically close to form a sealed environment, and the obelisk begins to shed its metal casing, revealing the inner Terrigan crystal, and spreading a mist.
She is now worried that once the evolution is completed, will these stone gates be automatically opened and will not be closed forever?
After looking at it carefully for a long time, the research result is that there is no result, there is no mechanical transmission, no power supply, she really can't see that these stone gates will move by themselves after the ceremony!
To be a woman, you have to be a little harder on yourself. If you don’t understand, don’t think about it in advance. If you have the ability, even if the stone gate is completely closed, you will not be afraid. Those who have evolved tasteless abilities need to worry.
I took out the last two bottles of water, poured a little in the palm of my hand, and wiped it on my face, looking more refreshed.
Daisy placed the obelisk in the center of the stone platform, took two steps back, and waited for the ceremony to begin.
In the sound of "Boom",
The six stone gates started to move slowly according to a certain predetermined trajectory. After three minutes, they were attached to each other. The indoor area was reduced by half, and the sealed environment was completed.
The obelisk merged with the light projected from above, and began to rotate with the stone platform in her excited eyes.
With the crisp sound of "kaka", the metal skin of the obelisk scattered around, revealing light blue crystals. The crystals are like living things, and many branches will emerge automatically, from a single crystal to a crystal cluster. Just ten seconds.
Daisy watched with nervousness as the crystal skyrocketed, the veins on the back of her hands were sticking out, her nose twitched slightly, and she stared at the crystal cluster without blinking. The original time and space were divided into half of the crystal energy by another alien, and then the evolutionary crystal was broken by a good-hearted person. It can be said that the shock wave girl is far from reaching the high point she should have.
Now that I have this evolution on my own, everything will be different.
Daisy waited silently. After a short time, the stone platform stopped turning, and the crystal cluster swelled and calmed down. The surroundings were silent, and there was nothing abnormal.
Is this the end? She couldn't believe it.
She took a step forward, and the mutation protruded.
The light in the stone room was a little dim, and Daisy couldn't see it very clearly. It seemed that the crystal seemed to spew out a gas from the inside. The gas quickly fermented in this sealed environment, and it had a sour smell.
The air is a little dirty, Daisy can guarantee that the pm2.5 here will definitely explode, and I don't know if it is harmful to inhale this thing into the lungs.
When she was thinking wildly, she only felt a little numb in her body, and when she looked down, she saw that she began to petrify from her fingers to her wrists.
If you don't know the truth, you must be scared to pee...
In fact, she was not much better at this time, her body became more and more rigid, and the black-gray stone material quickly climbed on her body.
Calm down, it's okay, it's all a routine! She was trying to cheer herself up, her mind was blank, the petrification speed was extremely fast, she lost her perception of the outside world, and completely turned into a stone statue.
The ceremony did not stop, and the crystal was still emitting a mist. In this sealed environment, the mist had nowhere to go, and in the end most of it was inhaled into Daisy's body.
Until the crystal runs out of energy, it volatilizes in the air unscientifically, and the stone chamber falls into tranquility.
"Boom...boom..." After a long time, a faint heartbeat came out from the stone statue, and it became clearer and clearer.
The stone statues of "Crackling" and "Crackling" began to shatter. At first, it was the fingers. After a few days of fatigue, the originally stained fingers became white again, revealing a faint luster.
The cracks got bigger and bigger, from the fingers to the palms, the arms, all the way to the cheeks.
Daisy felt that the whole world had changed in her perception, but it was not clear where the change was, and there was something more in her body, but all this was blocked by a layer of uncomfortable stone skin.
"Ah!—" She shouted, and a force burst out from the cells. These forces were like floods that had been accumulated for a long time. Once mobilized, they filled up irresistibly. It exploded violently from the inside out.
