Chapter 268 Totem Pole
When holding this obsession spirit stone, Chen Ming was a little relaxed because his goal was solved.
But suddenly he remembered something.
Just two hours ago, the metal liquid that he had released in advance to follow Zuo Jing's spacecraft to the planet sensed the existence of An Wuping's fake body in the laboratory.
But since he fell from the sky, the sense of danger he had felt before has not appeared again.
Not until he came to the meat mountain-like mind beast.
Even after taking down the core of the mind beast, the spirit stone, he still didn't feel any danger.
It was as if the sense of danger he had sensed before had nothing to do with the mind beast.
Or, was it because his insect form's ability skyrocketed, so he could no longer sense danger from the mind beast that had sensed danger?
Chen Ming felt that the situation should not be like this.
The ability of his An Wuping fake body, whether in normal state or insect form, is integrated, and it is impossible to say that it was sensed wrong.
But the fact is that the mind beast he just faced could not pose any threat to him.
The nausea caused by the things on this pile of meat could not bring him anything in practical sense.
Protected by the Word of Madness Spirit Stone, this impression belonging to another type of Spirit Stone could not pose a threat to him at all, which was determined at the earliest time.
So what is the real threat?
Chen Ming put away the Spirit Stone and swept his eyes around the gradually dissolving meat body.
However, there was still no discovery. The sense of danger he had sensed before just disappeared out of thin air.
Chen Ming did not even notice when it disappeared.
Obviously, his metal liquid had been staying in the laboratory. Although it did not directly enter the innermost part of the laboratory, since he could feel the danger before, he should be able to feel the danger later.
But the sense of danger just disappeared, the situation was very strange.
The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
He could be sure that it was definitely not the mind beast that threatened him, but something else.
There must be something else in the laboratory.
But this thing did not appear at this moment.
Chen Ming took over all the monitoring systems in the laboratory that were still in operation through the metal liquid and did not find anything wrong.
The only place with movement was the laboratory and the door at the deepest part of the laboratory. Some Zuojing members, with the support of a psychic, worked hard to re-close the open door and clean up all the flesh and blood tissues of the mind beast that spread out.
Zuojing finally discovered that something was wrong in the deepest part of the laboratory because of the movement of Chen Ming falling from the sky and his trajectory of rushing directly into the deepest part of the laboratory. There was no response.
So they really opened the door.
As a result, the psychic fluctuations of the mind beast dissipated, and the flesh and blood tissues that had been covering the door and had no movement suddenly began to proliferate.
Although the flesh and blood tissues derived from the mind beast did not have the extremely disgusting spreading ability and the terrifying situation of infecting people into non-human monsters like the dimensional infection.
But the flesh and blood of the mind beast and the psychic fluctuations it spread out were also aggressive.
Moreover, the mind beast was different from the dimensional infection. Even if the core of the mind beast was destroyed, the rest of the derived tissues of the mind beast would still remain active for a period of time.
So even if Chen Ming had killed the source and taken away the source's obsession spirit stone.
There are still a lot of psychic fluctuations active in the whole laboratory, and a lot of distorted flesh and blood tissues are still alive.
Once the door is opened, these psychic fluctuations will act on the brains of those ordinary people, attracting them to pounce on the flesh and blood tissues that are twisted into a heart shape.
Those who are affected by "infatuation" and pounce on them will be gnawed by these flesh and blood tissues to maintain the survival of the flesh and blood.
And those places that have not had time to be gnawed will grow heart-shaped twisted and deformed tissues, gradually merging with other flesh and blood.
Of course, if the corpse is dragged away in advance, it should be able to barely preserve a little human form.
And this is the source of the corpses that were dumped into the deep pit before.
The mind beasts in the safety measures in the laboratory are easy to deal with, but the leaked ones are not so easy to deal with.
With the support of a psychic, Zuo Jing can only barely close the door and rest at the door.
Speaking of which, the single-molecule-sized hole left by Chen Ming before did not affect the leakage of the mind beast.
Didn't Chen Ming fill it up? , but the property of the silent alloy film itself.
The silent alloy film is composed of multiple layers of silent alloy molecules stacked together.
There is a special link between different molecules, similar to the molecular bond that maintains the molecular structure, but it is larger.
And its nature is to block the penetration of psychic energy fluctuations and play the role of isolating psychic energy fluctuations.
Just looking at the material properties of the silent alloy itself, it is impossible to block the penetration of psychic energy fluctuations.
Therefore, there will still be this special link inside the molecular loophole left by Chen Ming, blocking the penetration of psychic energy fluctuations.
Therefore, when Chen Ming's metal liquid came in, the psychic energy fluctuations of the mind beast did not leak out.
So now Zuo Jing can stand safely at the door after opening and closing the door.
When seeing this scene.
Chen Ming suddenly thought, since he couldn't find the source of the danger, why not just go out and get rid of Zuo Jing first?
If Zuo Jing was gone, he could completely rest assured to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the laboratory without worrying about being disturbed.
Chen Ming thought about it and it seemed that there was no problem with doing so, so he took a step outward in the direction of the laboratory.
However, at the moment when he hadn't taken the second step yet.
He suddenly felt a chill again.
Chen Ming immediately turned his head vigilantly, and the chill had turned into an extreme sense of danger in the process of turning his head, the sense of danger that could threaten An Wuping's prosthesis.
He felt a breath coming from inside the laboratory, a chaotic but not messy breath, but a dangerous breath with a unique order.
Chen Ming looked accurately in the direction where the breath came from.
As his eyes moved, heavy and dense footsteps slowly sounded in that direction.
The sense of danger continued to rise even though it was enough to threaten An Wuping's survival. This huge sense of danger seemed to be able to kill him easily.
It was more terrifying than the danger he had sensed with the metal liquid before.
Something was wrong.
The last time Chen Ming sensed this level of danger was when the pirate space station was almost hit by the tachyon spear head-on.
The direct shot of the tachyon spear may not be able to kill An Wuping now, so how can a product from the Zuojing laboratory do that?
Chen Ming was a little bit unbelievable in his heart, but the danger perception ability had protected him many times, and he could not go against the feeling told by his instinct.
And the situation may not be the same as before.
For example, Chen Ming's body can actually be solved with a pistol, but his body's combat ability is definitely not weak.
So this thing is very likely not able to kill An Wuping directly from the physical level, but can kill An Wuping in other ways, just be alert to this method.
However, in addition to the wrong perception of danger, Chen Ming also felt that the size of the movement of the thing was not right.
The time when the Mind Beast Plan went wrong was about the same as the time when the dimensional infection on the space station went wrong, and the spreading flesh and blood tissue did not have time to destroy the laboratory equipment.
So the number of damaged surveillance in the laboratory was not large, and the direction from which the movement came was the same.
Such a heavy sound, the body must not be small, and it is impossible to avoid his surveillance.
Then why didn't he see it just now?
Chen Ming was about to adjust the surveillance to see what was going on in advance, and the heavy footsteps suddenly became hurried.
He made more dense and heavier footsteps as if he was sprinting, like a beast that found its prey, which made people wonder what was behind the sound.
Chen Ming was not affected by the hurried sound and immediately called up the surveillance.
At the source of the sound at the corner a distance ahead, there should be something there, but there was nothing on the surveillance.
However, when Chen Ming really raised his head, the source of the dense and heavy footsteps came out from the corner in front.
This is a creature... perhaps it can be called a creature.
A columnar creature supported by the arms of countless people who have lost all their fingers and only have their palms.
On top of these hundreds of arms is also a columnar body with layers of broken arm links, with blood and flesh sticking together, rolled flesh and broken bones everywhere.
The body was shaking and trembling constantly, spilling a large amount of blood visible to the naked eye.
At the top was a head with two faces, front and back.
The front was a neutral smiling face with a charming feeling.
The back was an expressionless cold face.
Both faces looked like the faces carved on the totem pole.
But if it was really a totem pole, it would be fine, because the two faces Chen Ming saw now were a kind of mask face forcibly shaped by flesh and blood, using human faces through the forced distortion method that Chen Ming had seen many times.
This situation is disgusting.
However, it doesn’t matter what this thing looks like, Chen Ming has seen all kinds of ugly things more than once.
The important thing is the threat and sense of danger brought by this thing, which is exactly the existence that Chen Ming had perceived before that could pose a fatal threat to An Wuping.
Chen Ming already felt something was wrong, and after seeing this thing with his actual naked eyes, Chen Ming felt something was wrong even more.
It seems to be a product of a mixture of multiple psychic natures.
Although it is very strange, there is an inexplicable coordination.
Chen Ming took another look at the surveillance.
It was confirmed that this totem pole-like existence could only be seen with the naked eye.
The blood dripping from its body also did not appear in the surveillance, and could only be seen clearly with the naked eye.
The fact that the surveillance could not lock on it alone showed that it was a troublesome thing.
Although it was dangerous, Chen Ming felt that he had to try it.
He made a strong move.
However, just before he really rushed out, he suddenly stopped.
Drops of cold sweat emerged from his original forehead.
Just a little bit, he was just a little bit away from death.
Just before he rushed out, his sense of danger reached its peak.
If he really rushed over, he would be dead.
Fighting with this totem pole will definitely cause trouble, he must not get close.
Chen Ming casually pulled a large piece of iron sheet from the wall next to him, twisted it into a javelin shape, secreted some keratin at the tip of the metal javelin, and threw it at the monster.
The javelin easily penetrated the body of the totem pole monster, and the entire javelin was directly nailed into the wall behind it and shattered under the huge impact force.
However, Chen Ming's face became even worse.
Because when the javelin penetrated the monster, it did not pierce it, but went through it directly, and did not hit it at all.
It seemed to be a non-entity.
Chen Ming pinched a few throwing weapons and threw them at the totem pole again. Like the first one, all the weapons could not hit this thing.
It seemed that there was no means to stop it.
Even after Chen Ming fired the javelin continuously and failed to hit it, the totem pole monster seemed to be enraged, and rushed towards him with a large number of broken arms.
Although the speed was not fast, the sense of danger that was getting closer and closer was real.
Chen Ming could not help but raise his palm, and the plasma was about to be released at any time.
But he suddenly stopped his hand, changed direction, and turned around to run to the periphery of the laboratory.
If you are not sure what the enemy is capable of, it is best not to use the trump card directly.
There happened to be some resting left-path molecules outside, and they could help test what capabilities this totem pole monster has.
Through monitoring, Chen Ming found that the psychic was not near the door between the deepest part of the laboratory and the outside world at this time, and seemed to be going to get something.
Because the situation here in the laboratory was too crude, he was not prepared, and it might take a while to come.
That's just right.
Chen Ming continued to run wildly inside the laboratory.
In just a dozen seconds, he rushed directly from the deepest part of the laboratory to the door leading to the periphery of the laboratory, and hit the door with the remaining momentum, smashing the door directly.
Broken metal and a large amount of flesh and blood tissue that had not yet completely dispersed spread to the periphery of the laboratory with Chen Ming's collision.
A large number of left-handed creatures were killed instantly, and the flesh and blood of the psychic beasts that Zuo Jing had tried so hard to block were also brought out.
Behind Chen Ming, the totem pole that was not very fast just now strangely maintained an extremely high speed, hanging not far behind Chen Ming.
It will soon be able to step out of the innermost area of the laboratory.
Chen Ming noticed that the flesh and blood of these psychic beasts seemed to have nothing to do with this totem pole monster, but simply stepped on the flesh and blood without interfering with each other.
He could clearly feel that this totem pole had a psychic nature similar to that of fascination, and he didn't know what was going on.
Chen Ming didn't dwell on this situation, and only after winning the fight was he worthy of dwelling on this matter.
He ignored all the left-handed creatures and continued to run out of the laboratory, looking like he didn't care about anything.
Some left-handed creatures tried to stop him, but Chen Ming's power was not something they could bear.
Even if it was just a slight graze, Chen Ming could kill people directly like a train.
And in fact, more left-handed creatures had been attracted by the existence inside the laboratory.
They were bewitched by the flesh and blood of the beast of mind, and one by one they pounced on the flesh and blood that had just had a full meal.
However, just when these people approached the deepest part of the laboratory.
The arms of these people suddenly broke inexplicably.
The incision seemed to be violently torn off by something.
Chen Ming looked at the location of these people's wounds at this time, and looked at the characteristics and direction of these violently torn wounds and came to a horrible conclusion.
It was these people's arms that did not pull themselves off.
The arms of the left-handed molecules fell to the ground, crawling like maggots to the body of the totem pole that was moving towards the gate, and continued to add bricks and tiles to the body of the arm link.
And the consciousness of these left-handed molecules who lost their limbs suddenly became clear.
They were no longer bewitched by the flesh and blood of the beast of mind, and regained consciousness.
But after waking up, they saw the huge totem pole not far away, and their hands that were a little ahead of them and crawling forward.
This scene was even more terrifying for them.
It's even better to die in infatuation.
At this moment, the left-path molecules felt the dual fear from the biological instinct of the creature and from the spiritual level.
No matter how much brainwashing, it didn't work at this moment. The awakened left-path molecules tried desperately to escape, but the rest of their body tissues suddenly had their own consciousness.
In the howling of the left-path molecules, their bodies split and rotted, and crawled towards the totem pole again, and were sucked into the body.
The psychic of the left-path finally hurried over.
When he saw the two faces at the top of the totem pole, he was suddenly stunned, and his expression was a little panic.
"Faceless..."
Chen Ming heard his muttering.
This faceless should not be that he can't see the face of the totem pole.
But he saw this face and thought of the term "faceless", which is suspected to be the internal code of the left path.
This totem pole monster is indeed inseparable from the left path.
I just don't know what's going on with this monster.
Chen Ming hadn't seen any description of this monster in any document in the space station or underground laboratory.
But this thing just appeared.
And Chen Ming felt that it was natural rather than something that was researched by humans.
It was something that grew naturally without any human influence.
Although it was formed by various human tissues, Chen Ming had this feeling when he looked at it.
And there was also a familiar feeling.
Chen Ming had already hidden in the corner at this time, leaving the scene to the left-way molecules to deal with.
At the same time, he was desperately thinking about what made him so familiar.
Such a dangerous thing, if he had an impression, he should not have forgotten it, he must remember it.
Just as Chen Ming was thinking.
The left-way psychic suddenly turned around and ran back the way he came.
After seeing that face and the door that was completely damaged and could not be repaired, he gave up rescuing the left-way of the laboratory.
He wanted to escape.
Although Chen Ming was thinking about things, he couldn't just let him run away.
He brought the totem pole here specifically to let the psychic of Zuojing help test what abilities this monster has, so that he can fight more easily in the next battle.
How could he just let him run away?
Chen Ming, who was closer to the periphery of the laboratory than the psychic of Zuojing, directly created a small amount of plasma around him and threw it to various places in the laboratory, destroying a large number of load-bearing structures in the laboratory.
In front of the psychic of Zuojing, a ruin that completely blocked the passage was created.
When the psychic of Zuojing saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot and the psychic fluctuations on his body were stimulated.
A surging magnetic force pulled the damaged laboratory structure and forcibly tore a passage that could barely pass through the collapsed passage.
The ability of this psychic is to control electromagnetic force.
Chen Ming had discovered it when he was dealing with the flesh and blood of the psychic beast at the door just now.
It just so happened that there were many metal structures in the laboratory, which was indeed a good place for him to play.
But it was too late.
Chen Ming destroyed more than a little of the laboratory structure.
He had no ability to clean it up in a short time.
And he didn't have time.
The left-path members behind him, who were also blocked by the ruins in the depths of the laboratory, were all wiped out in just a few minutes.
It was impossible to survive under the dual influence of the two ferocious psychic creatures, the flesh and blood of the mind beast and the totem pole.
And Chen Ming was constantly destroying the structure of the laboratory in front of him, so he could not escape at all.
The next thing he could do was to face the totem pole monster directly.
The left-path psychic turned his head and saw the totem pole monster that was almost in front of him.
He roared at the top of his lungs, and after being pushed to the extreme, he exploded to the extreme.
A substantial electric light flashed across his body, and under the blessing of magnetic force, he drove a large number of messy metal weapons, and under the action of electromagnetic force, he burst out at a very fast speed and rushed towards the totem pole.
Then, he disappeared.
He swung a large number of metal weapons at the totem pole, but the weapons went straight through the body of the totem pole.
But he, who was also close, was swallowed by the totem pole.
After a short silence, Chen Ming saw that the two faces on the top of the totem pole were suddenly torn apart and pulled to the side, leaving a vacant space.
And began to pull the flesh and blood tissues, forming the appearance of the left-path psychic who had just been devoured.
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the entire totem pole.
The psychic fluctuations of the psychic who had just died were strengthening it.
