Chapter 372

But where should we go next?

The girl could not hide her fear, but she managed to keep her face unchanged and looked at the road ahead.

Then, as the heavy closed doors slowly opened, Jianzi saw the sign on the side of the gate.

[Level 5 Confinement Area - Blood Pool Extraction Area]

Chapter 73: The Blood of the Gods at the Root and the First Four Survivors

In the woods, Gao Hai and others continued to move forward.

The paper figures followed behind, moving slowly as if floating, and just moved forward with the players in front.

Before reaching the ruins area and encountering those fanatic players, both parties here obviously had to move forward for a while.

Gao Hai was not afraid of the strange things chasing behind him.

Of course, he did not deny that those things were the strangest, most bizarre, and most elusive things he had ever seen. Intuition told Gao Hai that these seemingly slow and unremarkable things might be the most terrifying enemies he had ever faced, but before he could really see how powerful they were, Gao Hai at this moment could not treat these paper figures as any great enemies in his mind.

In contrast, what he cared about most was the situation of Yotsuya Miko.

Not long ago, Yotsuya Miko, whose consciousness sank into the Bydos Research Institute and who managed to stay there by occupying Hayasaka Ai's body in Bydos, lost contact with Gao Hai and no longer responded to Gao Hai's spiritual connection.

After a while, Gao Hai heard Yotsuya Miko's communication again, but this time, he could not recognize the content of the communication.

{Yotsuya Miko: %ou? h￥y*xf＃ed）c＃f…%e，。 }

The harsh and noisy voices rang one after another, and it was almost impossible to tell whether it was Miko's voice. It had reached the point where even Gao Hai's special talent for language could not recognize any valuable content.

It seemed to be just a meaningless howl of madness.

There was no meaning in it, and it was the sound of a madman who had completely lost his mind.

When Gao Hai received such a reply from Jianzi just now, he thought that the other party had gone crazy or something. But through the mental connection, he could be sure that the girl was still conscious at the moment. Although she was indeed seriously stimulated by external factors, she had not fallen into an abnormal state.

So, she was not crazy.

She just had to convey some information in this way?

Thinking of this, Gao Hai tried to understand those chaotic and weird sounds again, but still couldn't distinguish them.

What is the situation over there now?

Gao Hai felt a little anxious in his heart, but there was no solution, so he could only use the ability of blessing sharing to help Jianzi strengthen her mental power as much as possible, trying to use this method to prevent Jianzi's spirit from getting worse.

...

On the other side, in the dark and humid underground research institute, the girl had widened her eyes and her breathing almost stopped.

At this moment, the perception was fully operational, forcibly dispersing in a state that Jianzi herself could not control at all, and conveying more and more information to her mind, whether she was willing or not.

Finally saw it.

Finally understood.

Finally touched it.

The real root of all this.

This is the origin of all greed and resentment, leading to the tragedy.

After the door was opened.

After the barrier was loosened.

After reaching the backstage from the front of the stage and reaching the unopened area.

If it were someone else, they would probably have to get closer to understand what it was, right?

But she didn't need to.

For her, she didn't need to go so close to understand what it was.

Even though there was still a heavy door and a thick layer of blockade.

Although the place where she was now was actually far away from where the thing really was.

The fragrant bloody smell had already drifted over.

Her nose could already smell the thirsty smell.

Even though she didn't actually know what it was.

Even though she hadn't really seen the specific appearance of that thing.

But for her who had already sensed that thing, what she understood now was enough.

"Woo...ah..."

The brain was shaking.

The consciousness was collapsing uncontrollably.

Just understanding the things that were blocked behind the heavy doors made her fall into a state of mental disorder uncontrollably.

But the mental power and blessing power shared by Gao Hai firmly locked her self, preventing her from really sliding into the abyss of madness, so the state of disorder and stability were intertwined in the girl's consciousness at the same time, bringing her greater pain while also bringing her more information.

There was no way to maintain more brain functions.

In an overly disordered state, Jianzi at this moment had lost her language function and the function of recognizing colors. Except for the most basic personality and memory, all her cognitive functions were close to being scrapped, and she could only continue to record the information pouring into her mind by instinct.

I saw it... I saw it...

The one who walked out of that place alive, the one who took out something that shouldn't have been taken out from that place.

[God exists]

The whispering voice seemed to crush the girl's mind.

[And, the real God in this world is probably hundreds of times more severe and terrifying than the kind of God we have constructed and fantasized about]

[In fact, calling it "God" is just because the difference between His existence and ours is too huge and too powerful. Our real world is like fragile glass in front of Him, which is not worth mentioning. He can easily crush it as long as He wants. Such an unreasonable and irresistible existence can only be described as "God"]

[Just like humans in ancient times would regard lightning and storms as gods, and would regard natural things such as volcanoes and glaciers as gods. It is only natural to regard things that we cannot understand as gods]

[But, this is just the opinion of fools]

[Because we cannot understand its existence, we call it God, which is helpless. But precisely because of this, we have to find a way to understand this kind of thing, to try to make ourselves transcend and gain the possibility of progress.]

[People cannot stop because of the existence of God. Knowing God and understanding God, when God becomes an understandable field, it means that our civilization has made another progress.]

[But I will not support you, Urien]

[Knowing God, understanding God, and then surpassing God, this process, this order cannot be messed up. If we don't even really know God, and we arrogantly want to use the power of God, the price must be extremely heavy. Don't forget the price we paid to explore that place. Now you are going to carry out such a dangerous experiment again. Are you really sure that you have a thorough understanding of these things? Or are you just guessing in your heart whether this method is feasible, and then taking risks regardless of the consequences?]

[Create a fusion of humans and gods, and find a shortcut for humans to sublimate to a higher realm? No, there are no shortcuts in this world. Anyone who tries to take shortcuts will inevitably invite destruction in the end.]

[You will fail, just like the two Japanese people you have been observing. You will all fail. Well, do you think I insult you by comparing them to you? Sorry, but in my opinion, this is the fact. Those of you who think you can control everything and think you can control things you don’t understand at all are all equally arrogant and will only face miserable failures.]

[I really hope I won’t see that day with my own eyes.]

…

A total of four people survived.

That hotel, if that place can really be called a [hotel].

Its entrance exists all over the world, and every year ignorant people mistakenly enter it and disappear forever.

Jianzi couldn’t see what the hotel looked like. It seemed that something blocked her vision and prevented her from really getting a glimpse of the whole picture of that place.

But she saw four people escape alive from it, two of whom were Japanese, and the other two looked like Westerners.

Being able to survive in such an incredible place may be a kind of luck, or it may be a mercy given by something. In any case, they did have a much luckier fate than other stray people, and they even managed to bring something out.

That was blood.

The liquid with a dark red color and a smell of rust, from common sense, there is no doubt that it is blood.

However, it does not seem to be human blood.

The two Japanese people seemed to have paid a greater price when they left the hotel. They lacked some key memories, but they only knew that they had experienced terrible things and successfully brought out about 1 ml of blood.

Miko saw that the two people called each other Sato and Jiangya respectively.

That Sato seemed to believe that this blood was a ladder to sublimate himself and lead to the road to God. So he divided the blood into two, injected half of it into his body, and thus gained some strange abilities related to mental power. This man later seemed to use this ability in the experiment at Hayate Elementary School. According to Gao Hai's investigation conclusion at Hayate Elementary School, Sato was forced into a desperate situation by his own experimental results and had to activate [Takamagahara] in advance and hide in it.

Jiang Gu seemed to have some different ideas about this blood. Although he participated in the ghost story experiment according to the decision of his friend Sato and stayed in Yeluoshan Middle School to plan various experiments, he did not use his blood, but kept it, leaving it somewhere in Yeluoshan Middle School.

The other two people obviously knew more things, and they didn't even seem to have strayed into it, but entered that place on their own initiative. They wanted to investigate and search for something there, and as a result, they took more than 15 ml of blood from the hotel.

Jianzi saw that the two called each other Jonathan and Urian.

[Gods once existed in this world, and we finally got the most critical proof. We got the blood of God in the true sense]

The old man spoke slowly.

[My pursuit, my dream, is finally no longer just empty talk]

[Break free from the shackles of the fragile body and embrace true sublimation, yes, this is an opportunity for all of us]

[But this much is not enough. If we want to make this thing multiply, we have to make it more.]

[My power alone is far from enough. I need funding. If Jonathan doesn't agree with my path, it seems that I can only try to find the approval of those madmen. Ha, they will accept it. No one can remain calm after seeing this extraordinary power.]

[Then let's start. My long-cherished wish will definitely be realized here...]

I felt the existence of that blood.

Something that exists in my body, belonging to non-human things, and somehow presents the same blood-red color as human blood.

All those who become [Monitors] have such blood in their brains. Such people seem to be able to transfer their own cognition to some extent, becoming an individual in Yeluoshan Middle School, Zaodachi Elementary School, and Fujika Middle School, and transfer the power of the weird things cultivated in these schools to the Bydos Institute.

Sato and Jiang Gu's survival seemed to be arranged by Lord Urian from the beginning, and the series of madness and tragedy that followed seemed to have been planned long ago.

In other words, whether it was Sato or someone else, it didn't matter who it was from the beginning. After all, as long as the military discovered that power, subsequent research was inevitable, and he didn't need to do anything to obtain precious test data behind the scenes.

"Hu... Woo... Woo..."

The almost fragmented consciousness gradually condensed under the blessing power transmitted.

Miko looked forward again.

Although the vision itself did not really look at that thing, she knew that behind this heavy door, behind the layers of pipes and mechanical structures, there was a pool of blood-red water.

That was the starting point of the timeline as the birth source of Bydos, Ye Luoshan, Zao Li and Fujika.

It was not a strange thing transformed from a human.

It was another existence that had nothing to do with humans in the true sense. It was the blood that flowed from the inhuman thing, which was preserved for some reason and even multiplied itself and became more and more.

God's... blood?

The soldiers around had all retreated. At this moment, these strange creatures showed obvious fear of Jianzi. They all raised their guns and aimed at Jianzi, but no one dared to pull the trigger.

Not only that, after a moment, these things actually retreated one by one, running directly in the direction they came from, and they didn't even dare to stay in the same place with Jianzi for a long time.

Eh?

It was only at this time that Shigu Jianzi, who had barely regained some self-awareness, could not understand the actions of these strange creatures at all, and even had a strange feeling that she was regarded as a strange creature.

Click——

The next moment, she suddenly fell off the iron bed and fell on the solid concrete floor.

"Ugh... It hurts, what's going on?"

The girl, who was completely confused about the situation, rubbed her forehead and got up from the ground, and found that her other hand had grasped a thin metal wire at some point, which looked like something from a barbed wire area that she had passed by not long ago.

Hayasaka Ai's voice rang out at this time, and Jianzi realized that as she occupied Hayasaka's immobile body, Hayasaka, who was originally unable to move, gradually recovered her ability to move to a certain extent, but she could only barely control one hand.

So not long ago, when being pushed in this direction, Hayasaka relied on her very strong grip to pull a small piece of wire from the wire mesh with her bare hands, and then used this thing to open the lock on one side. It was just because of those weird soldiers that Hayasaka didn't dare to make too much movement, so after opening the lock on one hand, she didn't move further, until now all the weirds had escaped, and Jianzi herself was confused, and then she took action to open the locks on her whole body and barely jumped off the bed.

How could there be such an ability to tear the wire and unlock it with bare hands? Didn't Miss Hayasaka have a physical enhancement? Why does her physical fitness seem to be better than me, a player who has been enhanced by a blessing? !

{Maybe it's a talent}

Hayasaka Ai answered Jianzi in the spiritual world. Jianzi remembered that she and Hayasaka now share the same body. If the mental fluctuations are too big, Hayasaka can know what she is thinking.

But this is not right. If it weren't for the blessing power of the senior protecting me, I would have been dead after that perception just now. But Miss Hayasaka did not get such protection, and she can't completely control her body now, so she can't use the blessing. Why is her condition better than mine? Logically speaking, when I sensed the thing inside before, I should have leaked all the information I recognized because of mental disorder, so she should also have serious mental disorder, right?

{...I did hear your voice, but I don't understand what you are saying at all}

This time, Hayasaka's answer was also a bit confused, but to be honest, she did hear Jianzi reciting a lot of words like crazy just now, but she really didn't understand a word.
