Chapter 22 Underground Tunnels
"Medea ......" In the dark environment, Nou grabbed Medea's arm in fear, "Is Aske really in that direction?" ”
"Of course." Medea said, "This mutation has a strong amplification effect on the range of my psychic ability. ”
"I've screened all the targets within my perceptual range, and Asker is in that direction, and I can recognize his mental fluctuations even if I close my eyes."
Noh wanted to ask, "Why are you so proficient in recognizing?" but ......
Ever since the two of them were suddenly teleported here by the mutation, the surrounding environment had really scared her so much that she didn't even dare to ask any more questions, so she could only run in small steps, following Medea's steps.
The two of them walked down a long corridor, surrounded by concrete walls reinforced with steel plates, many of which had shown signs of decay and rust on the edges, wordlessly indicating how long the place had been abandoned, making Nuo feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Luckily Asker is nearby, too." She thought to herself, feeling a little relieved.
The two of them continued to move forward, and the terrain was also facing upwards. As can be seen from the clear footprints on the dust behind him, this passage has been unvisited for many years, so much so that the air is filled with the smell of dust.
But fortunately, the ventilation should be fine, at least the two of them have not had difficulty breathing.
Finally, they reached the end of the passage, which was sealed by an iron door embedded in the ceiling. Medea tried to push, but didn't push away.
It wasn't the lock's confinement, but rather that something heavy was pressing down on the door, preventing the iron door from below.
"Medusa, are you there?" No, who couldn't count on it, could only call out in her heart.
"This mutation...... There's a weird ......," Medusa's voice struggled to say.
"Your mind and body are damaged?" Medea asked with a frown.
"It'...... Sending you ...... When it split me...... "Medusa said weakly.
"Split?" Medea was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Medusa was originally split by her mind, and if she split again, it would undoubtedly cause more serious damage to her who was already incomplete.
"It divides you? What about the fragments of the sub-mind that split out? Medea asked quickly.
"I don't know...... Medusa's gasp, "I can't keep ...... Right now...... I'm going to hibernate ......"
"My strength...... I'll lend you ......" her voice fell, "Take it back, Medea ......"
"Take back our ...... Mind ......"
Medea stood still, stunned.
"What's wrong, Medea?" Noe asked.
"It's fine." Medea said lightly, pulling Nuo back a few steps, and then raised her left hand to aim at the iron door.
The mental consciousness of the main personality quickly sank, connecting with Medusa, who was sleeping in the depths of her heart.
As she said, Medusa's sub-personality was already very fragile at this time, about a third of her mind had been taken away, just like a person who had her lower half of her body cut off alive and was bleeding profusely, and was suffering so much that she could only choose to be forced to sleep.
From her personality, a little pain leaked out of her body, and Medea stiffened, and even her back was covered in a cold sweat.
However, this pain was enough, and the open interface from Medea allowed her to communicate with Purgatory, trading pain for an increase in strength.
After all, this was originally her "talent", the talent of the Witch of Pain.
Blue-blue flames poured out of her hands, melting the iron doors, locks, and everything else on them in an instant, even burning through the roof of the building, and heading straight into the misty sky.
Nou also felt the overwhelming heatwave, and even had to hurriedly retreat a few dozen meters away to avoid the hot air flow like steelmaking.
Medea stood still, a huge stream of flames continuing to gush from between her left fingers, and the suddenly heated air even formed a wind in the passage, blowing her long burgundy hair flying backwards. Countless tiny sparks rolled up in the wind, flying up and down around her long hair.
"That's it!" The swordsmen in the church of the misty town undoubtedly saw the flames that soared into the sky.
Medea? Aske guessed in his heart and glanced at Nuremberg and the others.
Everyone hurried to the past, and finally at the door of a building, they saw that the flame flow had dissipated, leaving only a large hole in the roof.
"This is, the town office?" Nuremberg looked at the building in front of him and took the sword from his back, "Everyone is ready for war!" ”
So all the swordsmen skillfully took out their swords and held them in front of their chests with both hands.
Nuremberg took the first step, stepped on the steps of the town office, then pointed his sword forward, turned his head and said in a respectful voice:
"Teacher first, please."
Asker watching from the side: ..................
Richardnell didn't say anything unless he met a powerful swordsman, and the old man of the sword master didn't usually talk much (of course, it may also be that he didn't have the urge to recite poetry), so he indifferently stepped on the steps and walked in.
"Gone, Chief Asker." Nuremberg signaled, and followed Richardnell inside.
Asker followed in, and saw that the surrounding walls were all melting, there was still a lot of heat in the air, and the room temperature was about forty or fifty degrees, but the old man of the Sword Saint had nothing to do, and he and Nuremberg had begun to sweat profusely.
However, the ** strength above lv.5 was not enough to suffer from heat stroke, and everyone continued to move forward despite the heat, passing through several rooms and corridors, and came to the place where the flame flow burned through before.
It was a warehouse-like room, but all the things inside had been burned down, and large holes in the ceiling let in light and fog, making it much cooler than the rooms outside.
There was also a large hole in the middle of the floor under his feet, and the flames burned through the ground here, and Asker looked over and saw a head emerging from the big hole.
"Medea?"
"Captain!" Medea exclaimed as if surprised. In fact, her mental and physical vision had already discovered the other party in advance.
"Eh, eh, is it Asker!" No's voice came from under Medea, "...... Woo! It's hot! ”
"Be careful not to touch the edge of the cave wall!" Medea reminded her.
"You guys, acquaintance?" Nuremberg looked at the two pretty girls in the cave in amazement, and then looked back at Asker.
"Let's check the code." Asker said this, pulling the paper ball from his bosom.
The two girls in the cave also took out the paper balls, unfolded them, and raised their hands high.
The two sides compared, and there was no problem.
"So." Medea breathed a sigh of relief, "Hurry up and pull us up......"
Asker had already jumped down, turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"It's okay...... Medea pouted, "because the heat left by the flame stream is still there, so the edge of the pit wall is so hot that we can't climb up it." ”
"It's okay, it'll cool down sooner or later." Asker looked into the passage, "What is this place?" ”
"An old passageway." Noe replied.
"Where do you lead?" Asker asked.
The two girls looked at each other. Where does it lead? How do we know? Isn't it imperative to get out first?
"Well, there's a huge iron door inside." Noh whispered, "We didn't dare approach ......."
"Then I'll have to go in and have a look." Asker replied. From the player's point of view, it is impossible for the game copy to set up a useless tunnel, and there must be something boring in it.
Before Medea could say something, she saw Richardnell jump down as well, looking at the end of the passage without saying a word.
