The Trembling World

Chapter 563 Soul Lock

This cabin is also circular, and the surrounding walls are pure white and extremely smooth. Everywhere is spotless and feels very clean. The things displayed inside reminded Liu Gan of the cabin in the soul laboratory behind the Agricultural College... The cabin was the name Liu Gan gave to that kind of cabin. According to Jiang Jinyuan, its official name is 'Soul energy detection record collection and transfer device'.

It's just that the scale here is much larger. There are as many as twelve cabins in total, distributed in a hexagonal shape around the cabins. The cabins are grouped in pairs. One of the two cabins in each group is open and the other is closed. Because the metal door above is completely closed, what exactly is in the closed cabin? Everyone still doesn't know.

And in the opened cabins... there was a mummy lying in each cabin. Their expressions looked very calm and peaceful. When Anna saw these mummies, Anna couldn't help but be a little frightened... because this was different from what she was at the liaison station. The mummies I saw in my night dream were almost identical.

In addition, these mummies were wearing the same streamlined work clothes that everyone was wearing now. Originally, these work clothes were very tight, but now because the corpses inside have dried up, the work clothes have become a little loose.

"What happened here?" Liu Qian looked at these mummies and asked Qian Zhou and Zhang Mengdi.

"It's hard to say now. We need to check at the console to find out." Qianzhou walked towards a small console in the center of the cabin.

There is obviously a thick metal hatch on the ground in the center of the six groups of cabins. You can only go down after opening it. Next to it is a small console with a black electronic screen. Qian Zhou tried some operations but had no effect, so he switched to Zhang Mengdi. I don’t know what Zhang Mengdi did, but the display lighted up anyway.

Some reminder text states that only those who answer five questions correctly can enter the cabin below. If the cabin door is forcibly destroyed, a nuclear explosion will occur in the laboratory's nuclear energy device.

The five questions displayed on the screen were quite bizarre. Everyone who saw it frowned.

"What color did the second sister wear at the graduation dinner?"

"On the way back to Tundra City. Which bus did the six of us take?"

"What animal is painted on the shoemaker's apron?"

"Besides you, how many people are there in the dispatch room?"

“What’s the last number on a police motorcycle’s license plate?”

Everyone looked at each other, no one could possibly know the answers to these five questions that were inexplicable and had nothing to do with everyone's experience.

"Is this a code word? Do you know the answer?" Liu Qian asked Zhang Mengdi.

"I don't know." Zhang Mengdi shook his head.

I have no choice but to guess. Under everyone's advice, especially Anna's advice, Zhang Mengdi entered a pink answer to the first question, but the system prompted an error.

At the same time, a line of prompts and a countdown also appeared above. You can only re-enter the answer after five hours according to the prompts. If you answer incorrectly three times in a row, the system will be locked for three days.

If you guess one wrong question, you will be locked for five hours. It is conceivable that it is impossible to guess the answers to the five questions in a row.

"You must know something, right?" Liu Qian saw that Zhang Mengdi had been looking at the several cabins in a daze, so he walked over to her and asked her again.

"This is the soul lock. You have to enter the soul cabin to get the answer." Zhang Mengdi pointed to the six cabins in the cabin.

"Sister Meng, what is the soul locked in?" Guo Tian asked Zhang Mengdi curiously.

"This hatch is locked by the soul lock. If you want to open it, you must solve the puzzle of the soul lock, which is the five questions we saw. These twelve soul cabins are grouped in pairs. What was opened should be six corpses that were dead but still retained some brain functions. The answer lies in their undead brains. Only the six of us lay down in the soul cabin next to them, and went deep into the memory fragments of their brains. Only in this way can we find the answer to the soul lock puzzle."

"I think there should have been six people who entered here before us. They also tried to find answers from the memory fragments, but they were lost in those memory fragments and never woke up, until finally all their soul power was lost and turned into The mummies." Zhang Mengdi looked at the mummies again.

"Why do you know so clearly?" Qian Zhou, who was following, couldn't help but ask Zhang Mengdi.

"I have seen this kind of soul lock before, but I can't remember exactly where I saw it." Zhang Mengdi looked distressed.

"In other words, if we want to open the middle hatch and continue down, we must all lie down in these soul cabins?" Liu Qian confirmed to Zhang Mengdi.

"Yes. When we all lie down, the soul lock program will be activated. It will pull us into a fragment of their common memory." Zhang Mengdi nodded.

"I don't want to lie down in it! What if I'm trapped in the memory fragments like them and can't get out? Isn't it going to turn into a mummy too?" Qianzhou immediately shook his head after hearing Zhang Mengdi's words.

"You don't know, right? This secret laboratory has been completely sealed. If we don't enter the soul cabin, open the middle hatch, and then leave from the exit, we will also be trapped here and die sooner or later. Mummy." Zhang Mengdi looked around and then answered Qianzhou.

"This is a trap! You knew this trap from the beginning and still brought us down. You did it on purpose, right?" Qianzhou pressed Zhang Mengdi.

"I opened the entrance hatch, but it was you who brought us down." Zhang Mengdi pouted.

"You..." Qianzhou had nothing to say. She was the one who rushed to the elevator console to take control and brought the six people down. At that time, she was curious about what would be in this secret laboratory, but she never thought it would be a trap.

Liu Qian did not stop the quarrel between Qianzhou and Zhang Mengdi. He also wanted to hear how Zhang Mengdi would answer these questions. If Quan Zang hadn't specifically confessed to recruiting Zhang Mengdi into his team, he would have had some doubts about Zhang Mengdi's identity and motives at this moment.

But having said that, Zhang Mengdi didn't lead them here, he asked Wang Shang to lead them here, so Zhang Mengdi had no motive to harm them.

"Sister Cute, can we just lie down in there?" Anna was originally very bold, but now looking at the mummies and thinking of the previous dream, she still felt an unspeakable fear in her heart. (To be continued ~^~)
