Chapter 844 Shed My Tears

Suddenly, the style of painting changed.

The fantasy background that was promised turned into science fiction, but now it turned into a ghost story?

Is this a bit too much?

The horror was like ice water, gradually seeping into the bone marrow, but Huai Shi's mind began to think wildly, trying to divert his attention, even though he was panicking.

Especially when he turned back the Book of Destiny and found that there were ten people when he set off...

Since when did it become seven?

And since when did seven minus one or seven?

It's hard to understand what happened.

The sudden change made him freeze in place. When he lowered his head and looked at the display screen on the arm of the space suit, he once again felt an impact that was no less than the one before.

——[Depth 0]

They still exist in the present situation and have not been swallowed by hell. But everything has already changed beyond recognition unconsciously.

"What's wrong, Huai Shi?"

Izzy noticed something strange about him, seemed confused, and asked on the public channel: "Are you okay?"

"...No, I'm okay, just catching my breath."

Huai Shi answered calmly, holding the jet and counting the number of safety ropes through the gloves of the space suit, resonating with the sound of clasping her fingers:

"1, 3, 3, 2, 4...5, 5, 7."

It’s seven people, that’s right!

"Try counting again." Tong Ji's voice sounded, half-smiling.

"0, 1, 2, 10, 11...21."

Huaishi suddenly became more and more horrified. Sure enough, there were still 21 people!

etc……

The silent calculation in his heart paused for a moment, and he repeatedly compared the records in the Book of Destiny and realized something was wrong.

Why do I get different results every time I count? !

"Because the reality has already been changed, Huai Shi." Tong Ji sighed in his ear: "To be precise, it was alienated under the radiation of Helios' secret ritual.

It has become something you cannot understand..."

In the dead silence, Huai Shi was sweating profusely.

Everything seemed so normal in front of them, and they were still slowly approaching Helios, and were about to reach the 'Kingdom Gate' that was several kilometers high.

But something has been changed, and they didn't even notice...

"This is the 'philosopher's conjecture'."

Tong Ji said: "If you want to say it, it is really a rare material. If we collect it and sell it to the current situation, every gram will probably be equivalent to the three qualitative changes of the source crystal, right?

Normally, only souls filled with the essence of skills and fantasies can produce such sedimentation when being burned. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so vast here.

With such an exaggerated scale, if it were passed back, it would surely attract many Nuggets, right? "

"Wait, you mean...burn?"

"Yes, the burning of the source of matter."

Tong Ji replied seriously: "In other words, you can regard those invisible things as the ashes of the deceased on Helios. Only when so many outstanding alchemists and their obsessions are burning, can Is it such an exaggerated scale?

The souls of those people were wiped out in the sudden drastic changes, and the source material was extracted and burned by Helios' engine. What remained was only the ashes filled with their own realizations and twisted fantasies, radiating around... in the vast space. Among them, find a relief.

Isn’t that what happened to the unlucky guy who spontaneously combusted just now?

Being eroded and disturbed by them, immersed in understanding, and on the road to a dead end without realizing it... The more obsessed you are with alchemy, the more you will be attracted by such temptations, just like a moth to a flame.

As a result, the futility was burned to ashes by the flames... In the end, he didn't understand that what he understood was simply in vain! "

That's just a conjecture emerging from the essence of the deceased.

A seemingly philosophical lie.

Just like the truth and essence learned in a dream, it seems to be extremely precious. I try my best to write it down, but when I open my eyes, I will only find that what I found is just a 'banana as big as a banana peel' Such ridiculous stuff.

Even just a little bit of contamination can cause cognitive impairment.

It is for this reason that ‘philosophers’ conjectures’ are the main source of various strictly controlled drugs.

The biggest effect is brainwashing.

It makes people believe in something ridiculous.

"Including what you just realized, forget it as soon as possible." Tong Ji reminded: "It is just a temporary obsession and has no value at all."

After a long silence, Huai Shi asked dryly: "So, am I just affected by them? In fact, no problem occurred at all?"

"No, in fact, there are things that have happened that you haven't noticed for a long time, Huai Shi, there are many. It's just that some are worth paying attention to, and some are not."

Tong Ji laughed meaningfully: "What if I told you that compared with when we set out, there were not one less person, but two less people?

Do you still remember who yelled at you to ‘don’t look’ at the beginning? "

"..."

Huai Shi fell into a daze and couldn't even tell whether she was telling the truth or joking.

"This is the essence of alchemy, Huai Shi, through the source of matter, through the secret ritual, through the calcining of disasters and miracles, to complete the distortion of reality."

Tong Ji said mockingly: "You must give up when you gain - if you want to extract a miracle, you will inevitably create an equal amount of disaster. But whether it is success or failure, it represents the destruction of common sense.

As Helios' engines begin to twist, the destruction begins to spread and spread.

What you feel now is just a cognitive impact. Maybe later, even mathematics itself will become a ternary system, or even a person will grow three eyes, four hands, or even become a barrel, or even get lost in the world. In the non-Euclidean space structure..."

“That’s why we were able to create a real ‘hell’ without changing the depth.”

At this moment, right next to the jet, Huai Shi raised his head and stared at the heavy door that was as big as a square.

They had landed on a huge platform that was so empty that it was disconcertingly empty, right at the end of Helios, with the only access in front of them.

This is the real ‘Gate to Hell’.

Huai Shi had given up counting her teammates. It was meaningless.

Through Tong Ji's words, he already understood something.

——That is, there is no such thing as ‘trust’ in others here.

No one except yourself can judge whether the state and mental state of others are normal, or whether they are still your companions. Even I am afraid that I will become something unexpected without even realizing it.

Everyone must fight alone.

Even if they are a so-called team and are close to each other...

"Do you understand? Huaishi, here, anything can be changed, anything can betray you..."

Tong Ji warned seriously, paused, and suddenly changed the subject and became cheerful, "But think on the bright side, you can always trust me, sister!"

As she said that, she whistled with excitement: "This is a great opportunity to spend time alone with big sister, grow your bond, and unlock new benefits on the ship. You have to cherish it~"

It's over.

After hearing this, Huai Shi was not moved at all, but felt that her heart was getting colder and colder.

The world is so indifferent.

Only the friendship puppy in my arms still has some warmth, but the friendship puppy looks disdainful, looking down on people...

Imagine playing a nightmare level dungeon. The team leader is inactive, the teammates are unreliable, and they even smoke and paddle. I don’t know how many of them can still breathe.

The most terrible thing is that there is still one more successful land reclamation, and there is no chance of resurrection.

The only companions I can rely on are a heartless bad woman and a broken dog who wants to eat and bite everything...

You can almost see the crematorium waving warmly to you.

Huai Shi almost burst into tears.

If I had known that God was up to no good, he wouldn't have come!

In this frighteningly empty square, at the front of the team, Garlandon's disciple, an alchemist from the Stone Cauldron Society, had taken out a brass-colored oil lamp from the satchel beside him.

He raised his sleeves and rubbed the knob of the oil lamp hard twice.

So, in the vacuum, a piece of light as big as a soybean ignited out of thin air, like a phantom, scanning the surroundings, emitting wisps of wandering light.

By the end, a projection from the Son of Leviathan emerges.

Dim and flickering.

Like a video call when the signal is not very good.

The old man holding the cane raised his eyes and appeared in front of them, looking around, using the light emitted by the border relics to detect everything around him.

"As expected, the Kingdom Gate is the farthest from the central engine. Everything is normal here -"

His voice paused for a moment, and the blurry projection suddenly turned around and looked at where they were, its sharp eyes sweeping over their bodies.

It's like trying to identify something that doesn't belong to the team.

In the crowd, Rachel's expression stiffened, and she became more and more uneasy: "Grand Master, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, Rachel."

Garlandon slowly withdrew his gaze and simply said: "You can continue moving forward. There should be a safe area behind the door. You can take a rest."

So, the leading disciple nodded, controlled the jet, took out his beacon from his arms, and slowly floated towards the closed door.

Just like the special effects in a low-quality fantasy TV series, it disappeared into the undulating water patterns.

Soon, a signal came from the other end of the safety rope that everything was safe.

Everyone held the same safety rope and walked forward slowly.

Passed by Garlandon's phantom.

One, two, three...

At the end of the team, when an insignificant member passed by, he suddenly stiffened and his steps became staggering.

Falling to the ground silently.

It's like it collapsed.

The helmet riddled with holes fell off from the already shattered spacesuit, and the decayed bones were shattered from the cold vacuum. Only the incomplete skull was still rolling persistently.

Continuing the obsession from long ago, I long to set foot in the realm of Helios.

Finally, it stopped in front of the gate.

The last dim flame went out from his eyes.

he died.

Because I’ve seen too much…

.

In the space behind the door, Huai Shi raised her head and stared at the bloody and tragic scene, as well as the ubiquitous scarlet.

Huai Shi's eyes widened.

He took a long breath of oxygen that was neither cold nor hot and had a suitable temperature inside the space suit.

Then, I began to doubt from my heart: Is this old guy Garland having a brain problem due to his age?

What the hell kind of 'safe area' is this?
