Chapter 1040 Extreme Experiment (IX)
Shortly after leaving the interrogation room, Feng Bujue saw a fork in the road before their eyes.
This is an intersection with no signs or any visible cues.
No matter whether you look to the left, right, or ahead, it's the same corridor.
If this was a normal-difficulty script, Feng Bujue would definitely find a way to trick Igor into splitting up with him to expand the search scope and increase efficiency.
However, this is a nightmare script...and Brother Jue has already seen the intensity of the monsters in this script.
To be fair, given his current physical condition, even if he encounters monsters under Igor's protection, he may not be able to survive... let alone act alone.
Furthermore, according to Igor's character who is extremely afraid of supernatural things, he may not agree to separate from Brother Jue.
Therefore, Feng Bujue simply pointed forward, indicating to the other party to continue leading the way.
In this way, the two of them walked for a while, passing four rooms one after another along the way.
The metal doors of these four rooms are all closed, and there are no signs at the door. Although Brother Jue could stop picking the lock at any time, he did not do so; based on his previous experience in the statue room, he believed that he should see something related to the main line before making any calculations.
"What a weird thing..." After the four rooms were left behind, Feng Bujue couldn't help but think, "How big is this script? Going such a long distance... there are no plot clues, puzzles, or monsters. And all the corridors and rooms...are not marked so far. Could it be that everyone working in this underground laboratory has the map of the entire base imprinted in their minds?"
Indeed, this seems unusual...
Although the "no markings" approach can confuse people when there is an invasion, it would be a bit outrageous to make the scenery in each section of the corridor so similar...
Except for Feng Bujue, a weirdo who can compile a map in his mind and see different locations through the textures on the walls, for most normal people... this place is a maze; basically, you just need to When you reach an intersection, you close your eyes, turn around a few times, and then open them again, you will immediately be unable to determine where you came from...
With such a layout, not only intruders will be troubled. Even the daily work of internal staff will be affected, which is undoubtedly very unreasonable.
"Eh? Crazy brother, it's time for you to change your blood pack." Igor's reminder brought Feng Bujue back from his thoughts.
"Huh? Oh..." Feng Bujue raised his eyes and saw that indeed, the third pack of blood was almost finished.
So, the two stopped and prepared to put on the fourth and final pack of blood.
"Igor, I have something to ask you." Feng Bujue said as he was about to get the needle.
"What's the matter?" Igor asked.
"When you were sent to this base, was this what it was like here?" Feng Bujue asked. "Also, do you remember the route out? Or do you know where to find a map or something like that?"
Igor shook his head: "I don't know any of this... I was carried in with my head covered." He thought thoughtfully, "My last memory outside... was being carried in by several soldiers ( Soldier) was carried into a vehicle. As soon as I got on the vehicle, I was put in a hood, and when the hood was taken off... I was already lying in this base. "
This answer is not unexpected, Feng Bujue also asked with the mentality of giving it a try.
"Understood..." When Brother Jue responded, he had finished replacing the blood packs. "Okay, let's keep walking..." He raised his eyes and looked into the corridor ahead, "Anyway, keep moving forward. Even if you can't find it, You can find everything at the exit..."
He couldn't finish what he said because the scene before him made him hold back the last word.
At this moment, Feng Bujue saw a humanoid creature that looked like a mummy... walking toward them from dozens of meters away.
"Cackle..." And the monster also saw Brother Jue for the first time. And let out a weird laugh.
When the laughter came, Igor turned around and was shocked: "Ah! Demon... Demon..."
He was so frightened that he couldn't even form a sentence.
"Don't panic, it can't see you." Feng Bujue remained as calm as ever. He quickly said to Igor, "Anyway, it must be coming towards me. When it comes closer, try to chop off its head with a knife."
In fact, Brother Jue doesn't know if the method of beheading is useful. However, judging from his many years of experience in fighting various monsters and monsters... the probability of success of this method is relatively high.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...
The monster took a few steps at first, then gradually accelerated and turned into a full sprint.
You can tell from the footsteps that it is wearing shoes; look at its upper body... there are still some broken clothes, so it is definitely not the "barefoot brother" that Brother Jue and the others have encountered before. However...the two appear to be of the same species.
"Hehe...hahahaha..." As it rushed toward Feng Bujue, the monster laughed almost maniacally. The laughter was so infiltrating that it matched its terrifying appearance, even under the light. It also seemed extremely scary.
Ten meters, seven meters, three meters...
The speed of the monster was faster than that of ordinary people. Just by visual inspection, Feng Bujue knew that it was impossible for him to avoid the opponent's attack.
But...he remained calm.
It wasn't until the opponent came within two meters that Brother Jue shouted loudly: "Igor!"
This roar instantly brought Igor back to his senses from his shock and stagnation. After a reaction time of 0.01 seconds, Igor instinctively and without thinking followed Feng Bujue's previous instructions!
Whoosh——
The rough arms and sharp chopping knife made a whirl of wind.
Consistent with Feng Bujue's speculation... the monster really "couldn't see" Igor, so when the blade came, it was too late for it to dodge.
Ka——
But Igor raised his hand and the knife fell. The physical fitness of this vno-9 enhanced person was definitely not inferior to that of the monster.
Where the blade passed... the skin was torn, the flesh was exposed, the bones were broken, and the tendons were broken.
The monster's head was chopped off with a knife, but not a drop of blood flowed, giving people the feeling that it was just a piece of meat taken out of the freezer.
"Ah——" After its head left the body, it even let out a shrill scream.
This sound definitely did not come from the throat. Even the throat was broken, so it was impossible to roar so loudly. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be something like a "spirit" that was using the mouth of the dead to make sounds.
"Call you head!" The next second. Feng Bujue raised one hand and grabbed the head that flew in front of him due to inertia, and roared at the monster's face with a voice that was a few points louder than the other party.
At that moment, even the monster was confused. It didn't expect the other party to come to catch its head, nor did it expect the other party to dare to talk to it after catching it. What it didn't expect was... the attitude of the boy in front of it was so arrogant.
"Speak!" Feng Bujue lifted the monster's head and asked, staring at it, "What are you?"
"Hehehe..." The monster didn't answer. It just looked at Brother Jue with a mocking look and laughed eeriely.
Faced with this response, Feng Bujue was silent for two seconds, and then said in a very cold tone: "I'll give you one more chance, put away your lewd smile immediately and answer my questions properly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
"Hehehe..." However, the monster put on an attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and laughed even more arrogantly. "Hehehe...Hahahahaha! Haha..."
Puff——
His laughter was interrupted by a muffled sound.
That was the sound made by Feng Bujue grabbing its head and smashing its face against the wall.
"Uh——" After being smashed, the monster groaned. Then, he seemed to finally want to say something, "You... dare..."
Puff——
But Feng Bujue didn't seem to intend to let him speak properly.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Puff puff puff——
"The lewd laugh is too loud, I can't hear it~"
Puff——
Brother Jue said similar dialogues in a lazy tone. While slamming the other party's face against the wall again and again.
The monster was originally skinny, and after being hit like this, the skin on its face was almost worn off. The bridge of its nose was also broken.
"Uh... Crazy... Crazy brother..." Igor was stunned for a long time before saying, "You are like this... it can't speak, right?"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Brother Jue put on a look of sudden enlightenment, and raised the head in front of him again, looking at the monster's face that had been smashed to pieces, and said, "Really?"
The monster's mouth was crooked, and it said viciously: "Little... boy... you... you..."
Puff--
Before he finished speaking, Brother Jue hit it against the wall again: "When you call me, you should be more respectful."
After saying that and hitting it, he immediately brought the head back in front of him.
However, the monster still looked very stubborn: "Don't think... I will give in if you do this..."
Puff--Puff--Puff--
"I can play like this all day long." Feng Bujue said this, and greeted the other party five or six times.
This time, when he brought the monster's head back in front of him, the latter's face was almost unrecognizable.
"Brother, if you have anything to ask, I will tell you everything I know..." It seems that the few blows just now have broken the monster's backbone and moral integrity.
"Well..." Feng Bujue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let me tell you what you are first."
"I... we... are you..." The monster replied - [We are the madness hidden in your body, always eager to break free from the cage of reason. We are the darkness that you curl up in bed every night to avoid. When you hide in those safe havens that we cannot enter, we lie dormant in silence and weakness...]
This paragraph is a special voice. When the dialogue sounded, Feng Bujue entered a state like watching CG.
And when the whole paragraph was finished, the scenery in front of Brother Jue suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, he had come to... his own palace of thought.
Memories roamed in the air like a halo, and thoughts enveloped this vast space like fog.
At this moment, time stagnated.
Six figures gathered together.
Five of them stood in a circle; in the circle... was a two-meter-high, birdcage-shaped cage; and in that cage, there was a sixth person.
"Although I don't know why you came in at this time, since you are here, I might as well ask..." said the first Feng Bujue.
"You also heard what that guy said just now." The second Feng Bujue continued, "I always feel... familiar."
"I used to think there were only five people here, until I started to contact Horror Paradise and gained the ability to enter the 'Palace of Concrete Thinking', then I found out... there was a sixth person." The third Feng Bujue said.
"Before, I always believed... that cage was the seal imposed by Woody." The fourth Feng Bujue looked at the person in the cage and said, "And you are my sealed fear."
"Until just now, I heard those words." The fifth Feng Bujue said again, "This made me realize that maybe... that cage... has been there from the beginning."
After the five people finished speaking, they were silent for a few seconds, and then...
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"Who... are you?"
Almost at the same second, they looked into the cage and asked the same question in five slightly different tones.
"Heh..." After a moment, the person in the cage sneered, "Why do you question yourself?"
He responded to their questions with questions.
"We are one person." Two seconds later, the caged man said, "From the beginning, there was no secret between us. Because... all the answers are in this hall."
At this point, he reached into his coat pocket and took out a key.
Seeing this, the five people outside the cage also subconsciously reached into their pockets.
At this moment, every Feng Bujue found that... there was also a key in his pocket.
"This cage has indeed existed from the beginning." The caged man said, "Because... we want it to exist."
"Because you don't want to come out?" asked the first Feng Bujue.
The caged man replied, "But I did come out."
"I know." The second Feng Bujue said, "You came out on the day you covered up the scene for Xiao Tan."
"You came out on the day you first came into contact with the Gambling Emperor's House." The third Feng Bujue said.
"You came out during the cloak battle." said the fourth Feng Bujue.
"And..." Finally, the fifth Feng Bujue continued, "The day Ruoyu left... you also came out."
"Because... from the beginning to the end, I can appear at any time according to my own will." The man in the cage took over their words and said, "Ordinary people will try their best to prevent themselves from coming out of the cage forever." At this point, he spread his hands and smiled evilly, "But we are not ordinary people, we... are Feng Bujue." (To be continued.)
