Chapter 405

No success.

It was just a small mirror fragment, but the girl couldn't move it at all. Whether it was the mirror, the chair on which the mirror was placed, or the empty area itself, they all seemed to be completely fixed to the space and there was no way to make any changes.

Why couldn't it be taken away?

Jianzi frowned.

This fragment itself shouldn't be so heavy that it couldn't be lifted, right?

Thinking this way, Jianzi reached out again, but found that he couldn't touch it, and his fingers went straight through the mirror.

Eh?

While he was wondering, the color of the ground began to change gradually.

In the originally empty space, dark red blood began to spread gradually.

Jianzi looked at the mirror fragment again and found that blood was flowing out of the fragment, dripping onto the ground.

No, it wasn't the blood in the mirror that flowed out.

The girl saw the old man and the figure of Urian sitting in front of the mirror.

The man took out a small bottle and poured the blood out of the bottle.

So the other Urien reflected in the mirror also poured out the blood in the bottle, and the blood flowed out of the mirror and flowed to the ground, and began to spread and expand.

The [God's Blood] in the hands of Urien, who belonged to the real world, had long been drained.

But with the establishment of a certain ritual in the mirror, a certain transformation power between reality and nothingness began to be constructed, so the blood in the mirror could never be exhausted. Although the growth was very slow, this thing could not stop, so it began to fill this huge container, the blood pool in this base little by little.

"Um... um..."

The headache was spreading.

Even if Miko herself did not want to see such a scene, even if she did not want to understand these things, she was still forced to accept more information and see more things.

Oops... No... Can't watch it anymore...

There is no way to interrupt her senses.

Yotsuya Miko finally remembered that at the end of the second round, she actually died earlier than Gao Hai.

Before Gao Hai was eaten alive by the two flesh and blood monsters, the girl named Yotsuya Miko had already died. After receiving the information that she could not bear, she was corroded by the polluted power in the information and died on the spot, and her soul was directly shattered.

The information was too dangerous, so she forgot the information after she was resurrected, and Gao Hai herself could not remember it. But even so, after she entered Bydos, the residual traces in her memory still played a role, causing her to be found by indescribable things.

And now, now she remembered it again.

When she took the initiative to pursue and actively tried to retrieve the forgotten memories, she did get intelligence clues that were not too polluted and of great value. But as she got deeper into the information, those things that she should not have remembered and would kill her also came back with her.

"Uh...ah..."

There was no way to stop the current situation from continuing to develop.

The girl's power was too weak, and she could not force the spread of perception and stop the mental connection with this place.

Blood was spreading.

More and more blood flooded the bottom of the empty pool, and the knees of Jianzi, who was kneeling on the ground, were already submerged.

Something was coming out of the mirror.

The naked girl with a dazed and empty look was pouring out of the broken mirror.

It was clearly just a mirror fragment that was less than the size of a palm, but the girl squeezed out from it bit by bit. Covered by blood and condensed by dark red liquid, the deformed flesh gradually took shape, gradually restored to a complete human form, and restored to a girl who looked no more than a high school student and was somewhat familiar.

She was Eriko Asamoto.

Or, was this the birth process of one of Eriko Asamoto?

No, it couldn't go on...

The blood was still covering it.

The mirror that was constantly bleeding reflected a completely unfamiliar place that looked completely different from the Bydos Underground Research Institute. There were scarred students wandering with guns, and skeletons lying on the ground in researcher clothes. It looked like... like the place that the predecessors were going to explore.

【■■■Yuan】

Something is gradually being imprinted in her memory.

As Jianzi saw more and more, as she understood more and more, something began to take shape in her memory.

That was the source.

She could understand that thing was the source.

As she touched these things, as she looked at the blood of God and the mirror fragments, as she sensed the information in these things. The information belonging to the source of these things began to take shape gradually. Whether she was willing or not, she began to be forced to know that thing, and she began to be forced to recognize the existence of that thing.

【■■-■】

I heard and felt the existence of that thing again.

"Ugh... Ugh... Ugh!"

The brain was in severe pain as if it was exploding.

The girl, who was unable to suppress the severe pain, screamed sharply, trying her best to divert her attention, to wake up, to get rid of the current predicament, but she could not do it.

Still approaching.

I could feel myself getting closer.

Approaching the thing that I absolutely couldn't get close to now, approaching the thing that would kill me immediately if I really touched it.

[■Appearance■■]

So, there was no other choice.

Miko had heard the voice again, and she could feel that she was only one step away from seeing that thing.

The blood was about to completely submerge her body.

The huge mechanism was moving in an interlaced manner above, and a rough mechanical arm stretched out, grabbing the [Asamoto Eriko] floating in the blood pool with a dull expression, and then dragged her upwards.

The girl reached out and grabbed her head.

She knew that this was some kind of spiritual realm, but now that she was here, her senses had basically become real, so if she died here, she would really die. Fortunately, after clearing the Fujika Middle School area dungeon, Miko's physical fitness was blessed. Although it had not yet broken through the human limit, it had reached a point that ordinary people could hardly reach.

I...will never...die again without knowing anything...

[■■——]

The information belonging to that existence is about to flood into my mind again.

Crack!

But before that, Miko had already broken her neck, cleanly and neatly. Even because she used too much strength and too hard, her cervical vertebrae were almost completely shattered, and her entire head immediately drooped down.

The girl's consciousness dissipated at this moment.

Through extremely resolute self-destruction, she forcibly cut off her connection with this place.

And because this is a death deep in the land of [essence], even the power of the immortal blessing cannot save her at this moment. Of course, Miko herself has already realized this.

…

Hayasaka Ai felt Miko's consciousness disappear.

At the moment when the footsteps behind her followed from the darkness and were about to approach her, the consciousness of Yotsuya Miko herself was completely interrupted and disappeared directly from her.

Step——

Then disappeared together with the footsteps that followed. The unknown creature that was about to catch Hayasaka suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had lost its target.

What the girl didn't know was that in an underground military base far away in another area, Gao Hai, who was walking carefully in a corridor, suddenly stopped and felt the continuous messages coming from the mental link.

{Senior, the following messages are all my messages. After listening, use your memory blessing immediately. Make sure to completely delete part of your memory from last week after receiving my message, even if you can't remember which part it is now...}

Chapter 120: Yotsuya Miko's last words and the gradually clear future

Yotsuya Miko died.

In the third round of the [School Tales] copy, after Gao Hai made a strategy of splitting up the troops, the first player to die was Yotsuya Miko, who was very familiar and close to him. At a moment when he had no idea what was going on and had no way to understand the other party's situation, he suddenly received the news that the other party had died.

The mental link has been completely disconnected.

Unlike sleeping, coma or falling into a special spiritual realm, this kind of disconnection after death is completely different. All people in the connection can clearly feel, understand and know the reality that Yotsuya Miko is completely dead.

{Fujiwara Chika: Miko...}

Chika's voice could not hide the shock. She did not expect that the first dead person was not in the second team, which was the most fierce, but in the first team, which seemed to be safe.

{Shijo Maki: Hmm... What's going on...}

Maki, who had just woken up, was still a little confused, but she had more or less realized that something bad had happened.

As for Gao Hai, he did not speak in the mental connection.

He did not express any opinion on Miko's death, but just closed his eyes and remained silent, silently feeling the last thing that was transmitted to him before the mental connection was broken.

There were a lot of things, more than expected. At the last moment when her consciousness was collapsing and she was about to die, Miko transmitted almost everything she felt and her analysis and judgment on it. Too much content made Gao Hai unable to concentrate on the exploration in front of him for a while. He could only stop where he was, close his eyes and try to understand and remember these things as quickly as possible to ensure that he would not waste what Jianzi herself had exchanged for her life.

He could hear her voice, speaking word by word in his mind, calmly and calmly.

{The true origin of Asamoto Eriko is a combination of the blood of the gods and a shadow reflected in the mirror. It is an individual shaped by combining "false" and "real". Because the phantom it reflects is essentially a shadow left by a human, after becoming a "real" existence, she will exist as a human rather than a weirdo. But compared to normal humans, the concentration of divine blood in her body is extremely high, so it is easier to become a weirdo after death, and it is easier to leave a strong obsession in the case of unnatural death}

Accompanied by Jianzi's words, the blood-colored pool of water and the mirror fragments buried deep in it emerged, outlining a general picture in Gao Hai's mind.

{This characteristic allows Eriko Asamoto to be continuously manufactured in batches, and at the same time, she can also become an extremely effective test subject for strange powers. If an ordinary person with divine blood has a 50% probability of becoming a low-level monster and a 10% probability of becoming a high-level monster after being killed, then the death of each Eriko Asamoto individual has at least 70% probability of becoming a high-level monster}

{Not only that, as a carrier and disseminator of divine blood, every death of Eriko Asamoto is essentially a release of divine blood, which will increase the concentration of divine blood around the death area, making those who die here It is easier for people to become tricksters, and it is easier for people to become high-level tricksters. This is the reason why even though the total number of people who died in the Bydos Research Institute is far less than that of schools such as Touka Hayatachi and Yoruzan, the classification can still reach the Red Moon Level}

{And among such individuals that are constantly regenerating and replicating, what can really become the core obsession is not actually the individual individuals that died after being copied, but the source. The first thing that was copied came from a piece of [Reflection in Abyss Relics]}

{At the source of all Asamoto Eriko, there is a real Eriko}

The incomplete mirror reflected the appearance of the high school girl carrying the guitar. Then, the figures of the girls one after another walked out of the mirror, becoming complete and perfect in the blood, and finally floated up from the pool of blood. Become a living individual.

{This Eriko has her own life. Although there is only a unclear silhouette, I can tell that she is a girl who likes music, likes to dress herself up, and lives a plain and ordinary life. This girl is the source of all Eriko, and each Eriko's character, memory, ideal and pursuit come from her. And the obsession that finally took shape, the core obsession that runs through the entire Yeluoshan Middle School and Bydos Research Institute, is actually the original obsession of Eriko Asamoto}

{If you want to get rid of Eriko Asamoto's obsession, you must get back the mirror fragments and get in touch with the real [prototype] Eriko. On the surface, this obsession seems very clear and easy to solve, but it is actually just a misleading trap. If you try to liberate [Eriko Asamoto] who is active in Yeluoshan Middle School, although it can indeed solve the obsession , but what was solved was only the obsession of the replica, which was false, and was the obsession of Eriko "in a dream". Doing so will not only fail to truly free Eriko Asamoto, but will also cut off the connection between the obsession hidden in the "Thing in the Abyss" and the real world, making it impossible for us to free ourselves from this obsession even if we obtain the mirror fragments}

{This fragment that can change falsehood and reality is located at the bottom of the blood pool... No, no, if the blood pool and the mirror are in Bydos, then there is no reason for Eriko Asamoto to randomly appear in Yeluoshan Middle School. And in my previous induction, in that spiritual realm, I had tried to pick up the mirror fragment. My first attempt failed directly, and the second attempt immediately became impossible to touch the fragment... Yes, I didn't react at the time, but that was actually a reminder. Already...}

Suddenly, these images disappeared, and the mirror fragments separated from the blood pool and disappeared to unknown destinations. No, Gao Hai could already see where it was. He could clearly see that the fragment was where he was at the moment, in this underground base.

{Senior, I think that the mirror fragment may not be in the Bydos area, but on the other side, inside Yeluoshan Middle School}

Miko's voice also gave an affirmative answer at the same time.

{Two areas, two parts, two props combined with each other, thus forming a unified whole. This is the most hidden part of this copy. It is the afterimage reflected in this mirror fragment, the shadow left by the long-dead real Eriko Asamoto, which simultaneously constructs the world of Yeluoshan Middle School and Baidu. Doss Institute Foundation}

{The sacred blood held by Yeluoshan Middle School is not enough to achieve the basis of the proliferation cycle. The Baidos Research Institute has enough sacred blood, but there is no way to obtain stable enough test subjects. This is the basis for the cooperation between the two, and the emergence of Eriko Asamoto is based on this basis. Because her existence requires both divine blood and mirrors to function, she exists both in Bydos, which has sufficient divine blood, and in Yeluoshan Middle School, which possesses mirror fragments. The power of this mirror spans the gap between space and reality. Bydos was later able to create [Monitors] to monitor the neon experiments, probably with the help of the connection between the blood pool and the mirror}

{In short, as the first core obsession of Yeluoshan Middle School, senior, now I can truly confirm its prerequisites for cracking. You must reach the deepest part of the underground military base of Yeluoshan Middle School and find the most critical source of mirror fragments there. No matter what means you use, make sure you get that thing in your hands. In addition, although it may sound strange to say this, according to the information I know, the mirror itself should not be polluting and can be touched with confidence. But the information carried inside the mirror contains extremely deadly things, and you must not perceive it too deeply}

{In addition, senior, I also have a deeper understanding of the past of Lord Urien and Dean Jonathan, the two core obsessions of Bydos. What I am sure of now is that both Urien and Jonathan were aware of the existence of ghost stories long before they came into contact with the key location [the hotel] and have been studying it}

{The difference is that Dean Jonathan himself clearly has a bottom line as a human being, while Urian is a madman who will do whatever it takes as long as he can conduct experiments and study strange stories. As the culprit of the entire Bydos area, Urian has only one wish from beginning to end, and that is to see the success of the third core obsession experiment of Yeluoshan Middle School, and to see this scientist's imaginary theory that combines humans and monsters. A stable and rational extraordinary individual becomes a reality. To achieve this step, the only reliable way is for the player to play this core obsession, allowing Urian to confirm that this core obsession has rational, stable and extraordinary characteristics}

{Only you, senior, can complete this task. Only you can resist the erosion of the core obsession of the Red Moon Level and complete the performance. But this role cannot be completed simply by filling in a name on the qualification certificate. As a prerequisite, you must start the experimental observation process at the Yeluoshan Middle School underground base, and at the same time, the experimental observation process at the Bydos Research Institute must also be started. Only when the verification and observation phase of the third core obsession is opened, and Urian, as the core obsession, thinks that it is now in the experimental period, will your performance of this core obsession be noticed by it, and will it pay attention to it? Only by making a judgment can it be possible to liberate this obsession}

More information comes to mind.

Gao Hai saw Urian and Jonathan standing in the empty underground area talking to each other.

Through Mianzi's eyes, he confirmed the twisted and crazy nature of Urian, as well as the conditions needed to truly free himself from this thing.

{Another core obsession of the Bydos area, Dean Jonathan, he has very little left in this copy, very little. Maybe it’s because his core obsession has not returned. There are only some remaining phantoms here. I can’t see what his obsession is.}

{But... I may know how to find this obsession. Even though [Jonathan] himself is not in the dungeon, [Urian] still regards him as his traveler. It is certain that they know each other very well, and perhaps they have understood each other to the extent that they even know each other's biggest obsessions. . In other words, by digging into Ullian's own memory, it is possible to find out Jonathan's obsession before his death. But this matter can only be left to the remaining people to complete. I don’t have enough time. I can’t see anything farther and deeper}

{And finally, senior, there is a memory that you must delete. You have to delete your memory about that thing in this week, and when you decide to enter the next week, you must also delete my memory about that thing}

Jianzi's voice has gradually begun to become unclear. It is obvious that the message she left for Gao Hai has reached the last moment, and it has reached the point when she is about to die.

{Perhaps you haven’t noticed it yet, senior, but if you perceive it carefully, you will definitely realize that there is some kind of knowledge and the name of something is being instilled in your mind. That was at the end of the second week, when the two of us decided to peek into the depths of the blood pool, we accidentally spied on something other than the copy}

{That is the greatest malice in this dungeon. It is a trap prepared by the designers of this dungeon to fight against those who may really go to the extreme depths and who really dare to explore the deepest secrets. The essence of that mirror fragment points to something that we must not touch now, and it is impossible for the two of us to know this matter in advance when we are in a state of completely letting go of our perceptions, so we fell into the trap and got it in the third place. Risks associated with forgetting about it}

{Delete that memory, senior, no matter what, you must delete that...memory...}

{This time...I won't...die knowing nothing again...}
