Chapter 298 Concentric
The fog carriage dissipated immediately as if it had completed its mission, and the giant monsters that were chasing after it also disappeared.
At this moment, what is presented in front of everyone is an extremely spacious and vast space that cannot be seen at a glance.
The interior of the space is similar to the bottom of the ocean,
On the dome above the space, a tiny full moon hangs,
The deserted moonlight shines down, and you can clearly see the ripples of light and shadows similar to the ripples of sea water around you.
The air also has the salty smell of sea water, and the skin of hands and feet can also feel the cold touch of sea water.
Only breathing, without any obstacles, just like breathing air on land.
The uneven surface at the bottom of the space is covered with a layer of fine sand,
Jellyfish, fish, squid, prawns, whales, seals, sharks, seaweed, whales, sea anemones, swimming crabs and other marine life are everywhere and flourishing.
It looks like a vibrant ocean, but the ecology of this ocean is too prosperous and diverse, not like the natural ocean in the real world at all.
"Is this a hallucination?"
Ashes, who had already put on a gas mask like everyone else, gently crushed the fine sand under his feet with the soles of his feet, and could hear the clear sound of the fine sand rubbing against each other.
A large group of pomfrets were swimming randomly in mid-air above everyone's heads. Their bodies were flat and covered with a layer of fine round silver-white scales. Under the moonlight above, they reflected clear white light.
All of a sudden, a five-meter-long man-eating shark swooped down, opened its mouth wide, and charged into the pomfret school to eat at will.
Half of the school of fish was devoured in an instant, and the rest of the pomfret fled in a panic, while the man-eating shark did not continue to chase or attack the people below, and swung its tail lazily and swam away.
The blood of the dead pomfret fell and dissipated repeatedly, and the small half of the fish body fell down and was held in the hands by the ashes.
"The physiology is indistinguishable from real-world fish."
Ashes looked at the half fish body that was slowly turning into a pool of smoke in the palm of his hand, and said faintly, "This is the mirage dragon's dreamland."
Li Ang, who was carrying the palace lantern, looked at Jijiu, whose hands and feet were shackled. The latter didn't talk nonsense, and took out a stone dial similar to Sinan (magnetic pointer) from his pocket.
There are crooked and indistinct small seal scripts engraved around the dial, and a metal long-handled spoon is placed above the dial.
The long-handled key turned slowly, and finally pointed to a direction.
"The scene of the ceremony is right there."
Jijiu said: "According to Epiphyllum's original plan, the ritual has already been completed halfway. Those infected with Epiphyllum's disease will spontaneously chant and accumulate 'pollution' under the influence of potions and mental manipulation.
As long as I go there with the palace lantern and open the fog gate that shuts the mirage dragon,
The contact person who didn't know the specific information could transmit the 'pollution' to the crown of the mirage dragon inside the door and control it.
The degree of 'pollution' determines the degree of control of the mirage dragon by the formation eyes.
About half of the 'pollution value', even if it can't completely control Mirage Dragon, it can almost affect its behavior.
In other words, sneaking into the past now is the best time to interrupt the ceremony and seize control of the mirage dragon.
And after controlling the mirage dragon, you can use the palace lantern to return to the surface. "
Jijiu explained the plan, but Li Ang still didn't have much expression on his face. He looked at Jijiu quietly, and said slowly, "You shouldn't know so much."
According to common sense, Jijiu, who is an executor in the epiphyllum organization, should only know a part of the plan out of the principle of confidentiality, instead of knowing where the fate of the final plan is like now.
Jijiu was silent for a moment, punched his waist and abdomen, retched for a while, and spit out half of his ear.
"I have a skill called [Eating Memories], as long as you eat more than 30% of the fresh body parts of the living body, you can see the memory of the other party within seven days."
Jijiu said expressionlessly: "In the evening, the leaders of the Epiphyllum organization in Yin City received news to flee, and I attacked the superior on the speedboat and the Epiphyllum members who were protecting him on the sea.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the Special Affairs Bureau, he did not turn on any positioning device or communication device, neither Epiphyllum nor the Special Affairs Bureau knew that he was dead.
Most of the content of this task is installed in his brain, but unfortunately he doesn't know who the specific host of the ceremony is. "
If according to the plan, the Grudge Gululugu and the wine priest can hunt and kill those lone wolf teams one by one,
Instead of pinning the hope of fulfilling Jijiu's personal long-cherished wish on outsiders as it is now.
""
Li Ang was silent for a moment, then looked at Jijiu, "Why?"
What Li Ang questioned was, of course, the motive for offering the wine.
"As I said before, I don't agree with Epiphyllum's concept, especially when it comes to dealing with mirage dragons,"
Jijiu said slowly: "They hope to use Mirage Dragon to maintain their wealth, power and status.
And I hope for world peace. "
In the deep and dark trench of the huge space, a lantern became the only light.
Li Ang, disguised as a sacrificial wine, held a lantern and Sinan, walking on the cliff path in the middle of the trench.
Several other players are above the trench, ready to land as planned at any time.
Below the cliff, there are endless chants from human beings.
It may not be appropriate to use the word chanting, the voices of the countless people are mixed with screams, laughter, weeping, roaring,
Primitive, savage, akin to the herd cry,
Chaotic and noisy but uniform and full of malice.
Li Ang held the lantern and looked down, and he could see tens of thousands of people crowded in the trench.
There is no sign of marine life at the bottom of the trench, and the ground is also covered with fine sand, but if you look carefully, you can faintly detect the traces of fine sand on the surface, which seems to outline a huge and magnificent pattern.
Above the pattern, a vast crowd of people hold hands with each other, forming countless nested concentric circles,
The outermost circle rotates clockwise, the second circle rotates counterclockwise, and so on, forming a circle that almost fills the trench.
These people infected with epiphyllum disease had ferocious expressions on their faces like wild animals. They murmured vague words, danced and danced, and black smoke like ink kept rising from their mouths.
Wisps of smoke condensed into a deep, circular dark cloud that was also rotating in midair.
On the trench cliff in front of the circular dark cloud, there is a fog gate that almost fills the bottom of the entire trench.
The gate with thick fog is guarding in front of the equally huge and unbelievably huge cave, facing the concentric circles composed of human beings, standing quietly, ignorant and unresponsive.
It is difficult to describe the scene that Li Ang saw with more delicate strokes.
Exhausting all the words in the world, it is impossible to express the darkness, coldness and inhumanity contained in this scene.
Flowing wind, surging human heat, dignified air, oppressive atmosphere
All the details that make up the "magnificent" scene cannot be concretely represented by the picture of the camera equipment. Even if the camera equipment is used to shoot, the resulting picture will appear old-fashioned and boring due to the lack of details.
Only by visiting the scene and seeing this scene with your own eyes, can you feel the gloomy, deep, dark and coldness of this unknown formation.
As if aware of something, at the center of the concentric circle formation, a humanoid creature sitting cross-legged quietly stood up and looked at Li Ang on the cliff.
Li Ang, who was holding a lantern, looked at him, tapped his toes on the ground, and slid down the cliff slowly towards the trench below.
It's time for Nightmare Baiteman of Yin City to play.
