Chapter 1502 Human Strain (VI)
"I only know the general direction, I need to walk around to find out the specifics."
Instead of walking down the corridor below, Echo, who became a guide, continued to move forward almost along the route chosen by Fu Qian, and carefully identified various forks along the way.
"I understand, after all, this place is really too big. What kind of dilemma do you think we are in now, nightmare? Hallucination?"
Faced with Echo's explanation, Fu Qian seemed to agree very much, nodding and observing the surroundings, without hiding his doubts.
"What should the current state of the Um Palace be?"
"This is indeed an interesting question, but unfortunately there are still too few things to refer to so far."
Almost silently, Echo, the demigod, floated through the slightly opened door in front of him without turning his head, and said softly.
The two were already gradually descending, and it seemed that they had obviously reached a place she had never been to.
After entering the unfamiliar environment, Echo, who was responsible for opening the way, obviously transformed his flesh and blood body into a special state.
Not only was he walking silently, but even a light step was enough to cross a considerable distance.
From Fu Qian's perspective, she herself seemed like a ghost walking in this gloomy courtyard.
"But one thing is certain, if it is really a nightmare, the power that built it must be of a very high level."
Behind the door was a more secluded inner corridor, splendid and luxurious but dimly lit.
Relying on excellent body control, Fu Qian also passed through the crack of the door without getting a speck of dust on her.
When she caught up with Eco standing in front, she was silently looking into the depths of the building.
Perhaps because it was located inside, the corridor looked brighter than the outside, without such exaggerated traces of years of destruction.
But instead, there was a more intense and colorful smell of corruption.
Every few steps away, the wallpaper that was originally connected and luxurious was covered with mold stains from head to toe, as if it had been leaking for decades, and the full tide was full of vitality.
...
"Why do you say that?"
While admiring such a scene, Fu Qian did not forget to ask a question to support Eco's statement as a demigod.
"Of course it's not just because I'm trapped, but more importantly, some beings are different from humans. They don't normally dream."
The scene in front of her seemed to make Echo feel a little complicated. After turning her head to look at Fu Qian, she stretched out an index finger and tapped her forehead.
The originally hard head was actually stimulated with ripples centered on the contact point, and the flesh and blood below became colorless during the agitation.
"Your Excellency transformed yourself into a non-human form, but still didn't get out?"
Fu Qian's surprise only lasted for half a second, and then he asked as if he had realized something.
"Yes, in fact, this is the first attempt I made."
For Fu Qian's understanding along the way, Echo Demigod seemed to be accustomed to it, and even seemed to be somewhat satisfied that he did not hide this.
"So you'd better pray that this is not a nightmare, otherwise if you want to get out, you may have to face something terrifying."
Reasonable inference.
Nodding slightly, Fu Qian agreed with this statement.
The previous metaphor was still very appropriate. At that moment, Echo Demigod seemed to be transforming into something like a ghost.
Wonderful ability, but this change also naturally reminded Fu Qian of his special attack on this kind of existence, the brilliant tyrant.
At present, it seems that the change of the replay has indeed only appeared on himself.
The reason is intriguing.
"Hurry up, the crying is still getting louder."
Unfortunately, there is not much time to ponder. After a short observation, Echo has already set out on the journey again, quickly passing through the corridor.
"The direction should be correct. As long as we go along, we can see what the place where the baby cradle should be placed looks like now."
...
"It should be correct... How could it be?"
Unfortunately, as Fu Qian won the food and followed, Echo, the demigod who took the lead, spoke again, the same line was eroded by hesitation.
The dark inner corridor is indeed very long. It took all the way to reach the corner, and the corner in front of us is almost the double-digit corner.
Unfortunately, after passing through another door, there is still no sign of reaching the end.
"From the perspective of the direction, although there are forks, it is not a maze that takes us in circles."
In this situation, Fu Qian, who was standing by, also gave his own judgment at the right time.
"We are indeed traveling in a certain direction inside the building, but the distance is a bit abnormal."
"Then I'm not sure if it's the effect of the crying sound. My perception is being steadily compressed, and the range is now quite limited. Can you confirm that the building behind the wall is normal?"
As he spoke, Fu Qian pointed to both sides.
"I'm sorry to tell you, the same is true for me."
Fu Qian's sharing helped Echo recover from his brief loss of consciousness.
"It seems that the situation is developing in the most pessimistic direction. It is not simply dilapidated and deserted. Some high-level power has secretly infiltrated this building and exerted influence in an imperceptible way. What's wrong?"
While narrating in a serious tone, Echo suddenly found that the gaze of the person next to him was a little strange.
"It is indeed hidden."
Facing the question of the demigod, Fu Qian pointed his chin to the left side of the other party's body.
This...
Reacting to something, Echo turned his head and looked at his left hand that had turned into wood.
On the originally smooth and rounded surface, at first glance, some places actually have a layer of dark green moss.
When...
"I can't walk like this anymore."
This change, which is full of harmony between man and nature, seems to have finally made Echo determined.
She stopped and didn't move forward. The next moment, she walked to the side and raised her hand to press on the wet wall.
Swish!
And after keeping this action for less than half a second, there was a crisp tearing sound when the palm was waved.
The stone wall that originally looked quite solid was torn open directly like a picture, revealing the space behind.
It was really interesting.
Such a wonderful change made Fu Qian on the side admire it.
Of course, the wall was not made of paper. It seemed that Echo's demigod activated his ability and directly caused some kind of transformation.
Magic is magic, but it is also really rough.
Obviously, under the dual pressure of psychology and physiology, this person finally couldn't hold back and was ready to break it violently.
It's a pity...
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the next moment he walked forward and stood next to the demigod Eko who was standing there, observing the dark scene behind the wall together.
Gorgeous, deep, and musty, it was another slippery and rotten internal corridor, leading to an unknown place. (End of this chapter)
