Chapter 199: Facing Fear

"This is 95B27, this is 95B27. Please answer if you hear me. Please answer if you hear me."

Bai'er pressed the headset, and the voice sounded alone.

It sounded in his ears, and also in every possible corner of the passage.

No response.

Everyone was silent, sinking in silence, or waiting for possible rescue.

Bai'er closed the channel and sighed softly.

The dark cave was still terrifying, and every corner that had never been looked at was like a creeping shadow brewing malice in the dark.

Courage could not always inspire Bai'er's body. The confused fear in the cave was invading his body all the time through his whole body.

But Bai'er, who was not overwhelmed by fear at the first time, was trying to fight against this feeling.

After bravely taking the first step of resistance, simple emotions could no longer make his will depressed.

The refugees were not opponents, and those who were above the refugees were the real threat.

Who exactly was it?

He didn't know.

But if he went deeper, he might find the answer.

The same journey, but without teammates around.

Those companions who said they could rely on them in case of misfortune had long since disappeared.

However, it was because of loneliness... because there were no teammates to rely on, that made them stronger.

This time, it was not a redemption for anyone, but only for themselves.

The goal was their own heart.

The seeds spread throughout their body along with the blood along with the beating of their heart, and Bai'e could feel those evil tentacles taking root and sprouting in their body.

It was rooted in their body, wanting to feed on fear and completely corrupt themselves into its slaves.

Let's see...

Let's see whether you let me kneel down, or I will overthrow your rule.

Bai'e's steps were swift, and the road he had walked once was more familiar to him. The special sand on the ground showed a clear path under the night vision goggles.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Suddenly, at a fork in the road with many caves, Bai'e heard a sound echoing from one of the caves.

It was a gunshot!

Companions who had lost the ability to communicate?

Or those refugees?

"Bang!"

Another short gunshot, followed by silence.

Is it just a way to vent emotions, or a confrontation between two forces?

Bai'er's eyes flickered, and he opened the path-finding hourglass on his waist, and then carefully stepped into the passage where the gunshot came from.

The safety of teammates does not need to be dealt with for the time being. What the other party needs is the emotion of fear itself, and only living things can provide fear.

Even if their bodies are taken away, it will not help. Their hearts... have been connected to some kind of mysterious existence.

Only by facing fear can you save yourself.

And only by defeating fear can you solve everything.

Before the truth is discovered, all unexpected discoveries may be a small part of the truth.

The passage is pitch black, but fortunately the night vision device provides a certain degree of visible vision.

But the field of vision is full of winding and twisting underground passages, and there are always endless obstacles blocking the view, and the eyes can't even see things more than three meters away.

Only sound can...

As Bai'er stepped into the passage, the sound that was not as obvious as the gunshot but could also be heard in silence gradually became clearer.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The movement like a sledgehammer hitting a wall sounded irregularly accompanied by vibrations, and in between there were... screams.

"Ah!"

"Help..."

"Crazy..."

"Bang!"

Bai'e turned the corner and saw two bodies in the night vision goggles.

The soldier pressed against the wall had a mixture of sticky saliva and blood hanging from his mouth. His body was like a piece of rotten meat hanging on the irregular protruding rocks on the wall. His whole body was evenly mashed against the rugged wall like a meat pie.

Only the head seemed to have maintained its complete structure, and it issued a final reminder with a thin voice.

"He... is crazy..."

He...

is the Blood God.

The huge Blood God turned his head and looked over. His pair of bright red eyes looked particularly evil under the night vision goggles. The terrifying murderous light penetrated the slightly distorted night vision goggles and was brutally sensed by Bai'e.

His muscles bulged, and the violent and bloody atmosphere almost filled this small space.

"What are you doing!"

Bai'e held the gun in both hands and asked coldly.

The Blood God pointed at the tattered body on the wall with a fierce look on his face, and suddenly smiled, "He is no longer worthy of being a soldier of the empire, contributing to the devil, and only death can atone for his sins!"

"Demon?" Bai'e narrowed his eyes.

"Didn't you smell it? The smell of the devil in the air?" The Blood God was stunned as he spoke, and looked at Bai'e as if he woke up from his intoxicated expression, "Oh, right... you can't smell it. You are different from them, you have not become part of the devil."

He stretched out his hand, which was covered with blood, "Come with me, let's kill through this evil nest."

"What about you?" Bai'e took a step back without leaving a trace.

The self above the Blood God's head clearly showed his current identity——

[95A09/Blood God (Human) (Chaos) (Elite) - Kill with "Lucky Hit" to drop: Definitely (Fresh Meat*2400, Combat Experience 3500 points, Gaze: Gaze of Blood); High Probability (Trait: Regenerative Blood, Mastery: Combat Expertise Level +1, not exceeding Level 6, Mastery: Dexterous Weapon Expertise Level +1, not exceeding Level 6); Possible (Skill: Extreme Pain Relief, Expertise: Rage.]

In fact, even without the display of the explosion rate, Bai'e can tell from his performance that his current state is definitely not right.

The last time he went on a mission with the Blood God, this big guy would only fight silently and follow the orders of his superiors. He didn't show any of the madness and arrogance he showed now.

When did the change start? ?

Secret mission?

Homeward journey?

Or now?

Fear made all the other teammates tremble in the darkness, but this strongest warrior used arrogance to cover up fear?

Demon?

"They didn't become part of the demon..."

They were just temporarily invaded by the demon. Bai'e raised his gun with both hands, and the black muzzle was aimed at the head of the Blood God.

"The one who has really turned into a demon... is you!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The machine gun is not suitable for the narrow tunnel, and the sound of the pistol collides back and forth in the cave, in vain.

The moment he discovered Bai'e's attack intention, the Blood God's huge body easily retreated and used the terrain to avoid the attack of bullets.

Seven steps away, the gun is fast.

But the environment in the cave... there is never a smooth road of seven steps.

Dark, dead silence.

With the help of The complex passage retreated easily, and Bai'e, who had caught up with the Blood God for two steps, could no longer see him.

Hearing the warrior's weak groan, Bai'e could not bear to watch, and pointed his backhand at his head.

"Bang! Bang!"

After two gunshots, Bai'e tightened his grip on the gun and chased after the Blood God in the passage where he escaped.

Devil? It must be a devil!

It was exactly the same as the possibility he had imagined before he set out.

Suffering is the best paradise for the cultivation of devil beliefs, and it is helpless for the helpless refugees in the wild to embrace the devil.

I just don't know... what the devil this time is.

The four great devils that You introduced before are only the top four among the high-dimensional devils. Even civilians who know nothing may have heard of their names.

However, under the four great devils, there are countless great devils. Demons and devils exist.

All extreme emotions of all intelligent creatures may gather in high-dimensional space to give birth to specific demons.

So this demon may be the demon god who controls fear?

With so many people's spiritual "worship", Bai'e doesn't know whether the demon can descend in real form this time, and he doesn't know much about the knowledge of demonology.

It is obvious that the Blood God has been noticed by the devil and has become his chosen one.

Attacking the chosen one is also a way to weaken the power of the devil.

Perhaps killing the Blood God, the chosen demon elect, can weaken the power of the current demon, thereby reducing his control over You and others.

It is both saving teammates and redeeming oneself.

The battle that did not happen in the arena that night, it is better to end it at this moment.

The only strange thing is... why did the Blood God, the chosen one, invite himself to kill through this nest?

Is it some way to sublimate himself?

Or is it due to the characteristics of the devil itself?

Or is it just a lie to let himself relax his vigilance?

But it doesn't matter.

There are many things in this world that are chaotic and unknown, but fighting will never deceive.

Things are often full of fog, but in the end, a battle is inevitable.

Holding a gun in his right hand and holding a dagger under the gun handle in his left hand, Bai'e maintained maximum vigilance and stepped forward into the dark passage.

Every corner of the winding underground passage may be an opportunity for the Blood God to suddenly attack.

Even if the opponent temporarily retreats, it is obvious that he will not let him go.

In this dark and complex underground maze, hunters and prey hunt each other, and their identities may be reversed at any time.

"Click~"

Wearing night vision goggles, the vision is limited and he cannot observe the small things in the peripheral vision. After kicking away a soft thing, Bai'e lowered his head to check.

Night vision goggles?

Something like a headband lay quietly on the ground, and the lens of the eye looked a little distorted.

Is it from the dead soldier just now?

He may have been completely passive in the face of the Blood God because he lost this thing first in the sudden attack.

However...didn't the warrior attacked by the Blood God become an immobile "stone sculpture" like You and the others?

Perhaps it was because of this that he attracted the attention of the Blood God and was specifically attacked.

But why didn't he answer himself in the voice?

Bai'e narrowed his eyes. He noticed many doubts and buried them deep in his heart, waiting for the final revelation.

Looking away, Bai'e continued to move forward carefully.

While walking, Bai'e could feel that his hands and feet were trembling slightly.

With the help of self-restraint, the forced fear could no longer make Bai'e's self-will sink, but the omnipresent spirit of fear still aroused the seed of fear in his heart.

It bypassed his self-will and deceived his body.

Trembling, weakening...

It is inevitable.
