Chapter 284 Getting in Touch
The small iron cage creaked upwards, and no one knew where the power came from. After a long time, the small iron cage finally reached the top. Chen Ke first threw the Moonlight Greatsword and the rifle to the ground, and then he got off the elevator.
The burnt corners on the helmet were inserted into the gap of the small iron cage. Chen Ke bent over and fiddled with it for a while before he completely got himself out of the small iron cage, then picked up the thing on the ground and walked towards the cathedral.
When he went down, he was still shiny, and when he came up, he was all black. It was really unpredictable.
Chen Ke actually liked the silver armor before. Now this black one, with flame patterns flowing on the surface and two horns on his head, looks like a villain, which is too smoky.
Of course, the most important thing about the holy object is that the properties are good, and the shape is secondary, and it doesn’t affect anything.
Chen Ke thought about going back to study the tin can's rifle. If this gun can be used normally and summoned from the palm like a tin can, it would be so cool. After all, pulling the trigger is more suitable for Chen Ke than waving a big sword.
He walked out of the small lecture hall and noticed that the Van Hede space-time had changed. It was originally as bright as day, but now it was pitch black.
He walked up the stone steps and walked to the broken bridge. He saw that the sky was as black as ink, but the surrounding buildings and mountains were clearly visible, as if they had their own light sources.
This situation was familiar. Chen Ke frowned and thought for a few seconds, and suddenly thought of the world in 2006, which was the world that was slowly disappearing!
It seems that after the cycle ends, this space-time is also on the verge of breaking, and everything returns to nothingness. He looked up at the dark night sky and was sure that the sky no longer existed. It was the embodiment of "nothingness".
He returned to the cathedral and prepared to take Parker away. At this time, Parker was still lying on the bench motionless, but strangely, his body was disappearing bit by bit.
The speed of disappearance was visible to the naked eye. Almost every second, several millimeters of skin and flesh disappeared out of thin air, just like melting ice cream. His whole body was collapsing.
"Parker... Parker? Can you hear me?" Chen Ke pushed Parker.
"Chen? Are you back?" Parker's voice seemed very calm.
"You are... slowly disappearing, do you know?" Chen Ke asked.
"I don't know what happened over there, but... this feeling is very strange. I'm not there now." Parker said.
"What do you mean...? You are right in front of me." Chen Ke was puzzled.
"No... It's hard to explain. I feel like a pile of ash, but I can feel my mouth moving when I speak, and... what I said doesn't seem to be transmitted in this place..." Parker said to himself.
"What... what do you mean? Where are you?" Chen Ke stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Parker's eyes, but there was no response.
Parker's current state is no different from that of a dead person. He has no expression on his face, no breath or pulse, and his heart has stopped beating. When he speaks, only his mouth moves again, and there is no expression on the upper half of his face.
If Chen Ke himself was not abnormal, he would definitely be frightened by Parker's appearance.
"It's hard to say, this looks like a laboratory, but I'm sure this is not a hospital, because it's more advanced..." Parker replied.
"To be more specific, is there anything more conspicuous?" Chen Ke asked.
"I saw a door with the words 0451 on it. I don't know what it means, maybe it's the room number." Parker replied.
"Are there more?" Chen Ke asked.
"Chen Ke, I don't seem to have a body here. I can only see fixed things, and it seems that I will soon be unable to see... Is my body over there almost gone?" Parker said.
Chen Ke looked at Parker's body. His legs had completely disappeared, his left arm was gone, and his head began to disappear from top to bottom, and it had already melted to his forehead.
"You still have two or three minutes. I don't know what will happen after your body is completely gone. Maybe you are really just a pile of ashes." Chen Ke said.
"Oh... man, that's really miserable... If I'm just a pile of ashes, then what am I...?" Parker sighed.
"I don't know, but I remember what you said, 0451... If I find a clue, I will definitely find you." Chen Ke said.
"I don't want to discourage you... But what can you do after finding a pile of ash...? I feel bad... Chen, I may really die... Just like you said... I'm already dead, but this big void has kept me here for a while... Maybe my memories are all illusions..." Parker said.
"Don't be too pessimistic..." Chen Ke himself said without confidence.
"Don't care too much about me, buddy, are you still there now? I hope you really have a way to get out." Parker comforted Chen Ke instead.
"This place is about to disappear, Parker, I'm leaving too, we'll meet again in the future, I promise." Chen Ke said.
"Goodbye, Chen, goodbye. You're a good person." Parker said.
Chen Ke was stunned and asked: "Why do you say that suddenly... We haven't been together for a long time."
"It's true that it's not long, and you disappeared as soon as you did it, but I'm not a child, Chen... You are not from the Administration, absolutely not." Parker said.
Chen Ke stared at Parker's body, which was about to disappear, in a daze. His head was reduced to only his nose and mouth.
"You won't lie, Chen, you really won't..." Parker had just finished speaking when his entire head completely disappeared, leaving only his neck and chest on the stool.
Chen Ke sighed and sat on the ground, making a snapping sound. He looked outside the cathedral. The darkness had slowly eroded to the door. Perhaps, the outside world had completely disappeared.
Chen Ke took out a small piece of soul and held it in his palm, but he did not crush it quickly. Instead, he watched Parker's body disappear completely before crushing it.
Behind Chen Ke, a portal opened. The scene inside was the apartment he rented near Opportunity City Hospital.
Chen Ke stood up, first threw the rifle in the tin can, then carried the moonlight sword in his left hand, and pulled out the fire sword stuck in the ground with his right hand, and then walked into the door.
When the door disappeared, Van Held was completely swallowed by darkness.
Chen Ke stood alone in the empty room. The moonlight sword and the fire sword suddenly turned into orange and white holy diamonds.
He walked to the door with heavy steps, made sure that the door was locked, then closed the curtains, and then restored the armor on his body with confidence.
The armor suddenly turned into five orange sacred diamonds, and fell to the floor along with his wallet and mobile phone. Chen Ke was naked at this time, and there was black smoke from the flames on his body.
At the same time, he was covered in hot sweat, flowing down the ravines of his abdominal muscles, chest muscles, and back muscles, and bursts of heat came out of his body.
He immediately picked up the things on the ground, packed them all, then rummaged through his luggage, pulled out a set of clothes that were barely enough to wear, and then ran to the toilet with a towel on it.
After going through so much, it’s time to take a shower. Lama and Louis were sent by Chen Ke to take care of Shreli. They don’t know where they are now. It’s daytime outside the window, and the time is about 12 o’clock. Maybe they are Hospital.
At this time, Chen Ke's cell phone suddenly vibrated. He unlocked it and saw that there were many calls from unknown numbers to him.
"Huh? Who?" Chen Ke squinted and noticed the time recorded on the phone. There were twenty calls in total, starting from last week... until this morning.
"It's been two weeks since I entered...?" Chen Ke was surprised.
The last time I entered Van Heder, it was a week after I came out.
This time when entering Van Hede, Chen Ke completed at least three cycles. Helping Faralis find a sword counts once, helping Fararis fight the Pope counts once, and killing Angele counts once... Maybe it's because of this. Time has just passed longer, right?
"Hello..." Chen Ke walked into the bathroom, locked the door, and answered the phone at the same time.
"Chen Ke! You finally answered the phone. Where have you been these two weeks?" Diana's anxious voice came from the other side.
"Diana! Hey! Diana! Are you okay? Are your injuries healed?" Chen Ke asked.
"You should care about yourself, boy! You and Sam, as well as the other two survivors, may be wiped out at any time." Diana reminded.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten... Your voice sounds quite energetic. Are you still in that hospital?" Chen Ke asked.
"Of course not... It was only three days after you sent me there that the administration found me and transferred me to the administration's hospital. I never had a chance to call you before. I feel like they have been Watching me." Diana said.
"Have you told them all?" Chen Ke asked.
"Of course not! Why do you think so?" Diana was a little angry.
"No...I didn't mean that..." Chen Ke heard Diana's tone and knew that the other party really didn't say much.
"Stop talking nonsense, Chen Ke, I'm looking for you for two things. First, there is a traitor in the administration. It seems that someone has been sending the administration's information to other organizations, and has also illegally logged into the high-privilege database. , someone above now suspects that the traitor is me, so I am currently being monitored by senior agents, please do not call my mobile phone number," Diana said.
"Wait...will they torture you?" Chen Ke asked.
"Torture... Damn it, Chen Ke, do you think the Bureau is a gangster...? They can't even conduct a search without conclusive evidence, but they will definitely be able to monitor all my phone records, and there will definitely be someone following me. I'm talking to you from a phone booth now, and I can't talk for too long, so stop talking nonsense, and I'll tell you the second thing." Diana said.
"Okay, please tell me." Chen Ke said.
"The second thing... I know a friend. Her name is Wang Aileen. She is a scientist. She is probably one of the most expert in psychic research in the world. To be honest, Chen Ke, what happened in that ghost place? I told her the matter." Diana said.
"What...are you talking to...? How can you tell other people such a thing?" Chen Kedao said.
"Listen, I hid a small amount of ash in the bullet casing and brought it out, and gave it to Wang Aileen to study. She is very good at this, and she will definitely be able to find some solution, but I have been watched too closely recently, and it may be very long. I haven't been able to contact you for a while, so I'll tell you her contact information and she should tell you if there's any progress." Diana said.
"Wang Aileen...? Is she an Asian? Is she also from the Administration?" Chen Ke asked.
"Yes, she is Asian, but she is not from the Administration, but from the Psychic Research Institute. Her number is 13137807552. I haven't introduced you to her yet, but she knows your name." Diana said.
"I will have a good talk with her. Thank you, Diana. Thank you for doing these things for us." Chen Ke said.
"Chen Ke... I would have died long ago without you, so there's no need to thank you... Anyway... I have to go, Chen Ke... Someone is coming, I hope you and Sam are okay... Goodbye, Mom, I will be fine, I promise you, Mom... Okay, I'm going to hang up, goodbye." Diana said, the last part was obviously a cover-up.
Chen Ke hung up the phone.
"Wang Ailin..." He muttered.
Oh my god, 12 seconds late, it counts as the 20th.
