Around 7 a.m. on April 19, 135 A.D.

Zhang Yu and Xia Yiyi converged a hundred kilometers northwest of the Red Dragon Canyon.

As soon as Xia Yiyi received Chen Enzhi's notice, he called all the people in Eshinwal, and the formation almost wanted to fight a big battle.

In contrast, Zhang Yu's side is "much shabby", not only is the number of people much worse, but the weapons and equipment are not of the same level.

So after Xia Yiyi saw Zhang Yu, he said: "Next, my people will handle it, and you will be responsible for cooperating." ”

Zhang Yu wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

After the convergence, they went straight to the Red Dragon Canyon, and 100 kilometers did not even take ten minutes in front of the Veil-class deployment ships.

However, when they arrived above the Red Dragon Canyon, they found that the geology and landforms in this area had undergone earth-shaking changes......

I saw that the Red Dragon Canyon, which was like a winged dragon on the red earth, had been destroyed by more cracks, and the inside of the canyon was full of corpses!

A large number of crashed warships, burning chariots, and the corpses of many giant xenos are densely packed without......

It seems that there was an earth-shattering battle here last night.

But why didn't the observation tower notice the problem with the Red Dragon Canyon?

……

on the bridge.

Xia Yiyi's face was solemn, and she asked Zhang Yu, "Jin Yuan really didn't tell you anything here?" ”

Zhang Yu also had a similar expression, but he was more concerned about whether Jin Yuan was alive or dead now.

"No, he just said that there was something to deal with."

Xia Yiyi smiled: "It's not a big deal, so many people have died, if you don't find out, I'm afraid something big will happen." ”

Zhang Yu came back to his senses when he heard this: "What does Sister Yiyi mean?" ”

Xia Yiyi is still dressed as a gothic loli, but now she rarely goes out with an umbrella.

She thought for a moment and said, "Report the situation here first, and then I'll bring some people down to find out first." ”

Zhang Yu was shocked when he heard this: "No, you can't report it." ”

Xia Yiyi frowned one by one: "Why?" ”

Zhang Yu sighed and said: "Sister Yiyi, you may not know yet, I am now in a suspended state with Jin Yuan, and according to the regulations, no arbitrator can leave the management-level jurisdiction to which he belongs during the suspension pending review stage, so ......"

Xia Yiyi was stunned: "Suspension? Why was it suspended? ”

Zhang Yu smiled bitterly, and then told Xia Yi about the general thing.

Xia Yiyi was silent for a while after hearing this, but said with a smile: "Interesting...... You both didn't have any major problems when you were a newbie, and now you've been with the arbiter for more than ten years and you're stuck in such a small matter? ”

Zhang Yu was actually suspicious since the incident, but the most important thing in front of him was to find Jin Yuan, so he hurriedly said: "Sister Yiyi, now is not the time to talk about these things, let's find a way to save Jin Yuan first!" ”

Xia Yiyi pouted, followed the slender jade finger and pointed to the overview map on the bridge and said: "Well, I sent worker bees to scan it while we were talking, and the data shows that the last time Jin Yuan appeared was in this place." ”

Zhang Yu walked over to take a look, the general map was enlarged, and a pitch-black hole appeared in front of him.

……

Ten minutes later, with Xia Yi leading the team, assisted by Zhang Yu, Wang Kun and others, a team of seventeen people came to the entrance of the cave where Jin Yuan appeared last.

This cave is located at the location of the "dragon head" of the Red Dragon Canyon, which belongs to the area with the largest drop on the canyon ground.

The entrance to the cave is about three meters high and seven meters wide, and at first glance it looks like the large mouth of a manta ray.

After dragging away a few corpses lying in front of the cave entrance, Wang Kun frowned and said, "What is this place?" Why is Yin Qi so heavy? ”

Zhang Yu frowned slightly, this cave entrance is indeed a little abnormal, the temperature difference between its inside and outside is close to thirty degrees, and the cold wind is gusting, like a giant blower.

The worker bees released by Xia Yiyi have been in the cave for a minute, but none of them have successfully fed back the structural information in the hole.

"No, the interference is too strong, we have to send someone down to take a look." Xia Yiyi greeted the two people under him as he spoke.

It was a pair of twin teenagers, wearing a tonal MRAK X-type exoskeleton of comparable size, with only the number on their shoulders being different.

"You two be careful, if you find any problems, withdraw them directly."

The two nodded silently, then removed their weapons and began to head into the cave.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu said, "I'm with you." So saying, he followed.

Xia Yiyi didn't stop him, but when Wang Kun was about to follow, Xia Yiyi stopped him: "Don't go with you to death, stay here obediently." ”

Wang Kun knew Xia Yiyi, and he had learned Xia Yiyi's power as early as when he was a mercenary, so he didn't dare to make a mistake now, so he had to retreat aside.

……

The structure inside the mystery/cave is much simpler than expected, not only are there no forks in the road, but the ground is fairly level.

But what is disturbing is that all the detection methods here have become a burden, and they can't work normally at all, and only a few dozen meters deep into the cave, Zhang Yu saw the worker bees released by Xia Yiyi.

At this time, they flew around a female corpse in the cave like flies, which is a strange phenomenon.

What made Zhang Yu feel even more uncomfortable was that the female corpse seemed to have been sacrificed to some unclean gods, her body was naked, her body was twisted into strange symbols, her abdomen was cut open, and a mysterious magic circle on the ground was filled with blood donations.

This situation is very similar to the bloody sacrifice of some heretical cult in order to obtain the power of uncleanness.

The older brother of the twins stepped forward to examine the body and said, "She must have died at nightfall last night." ”

At nightfall? Zhang Yu frowned and secretly wondered: "Could it all be related to this terrible sacrifice?" ’

Just thinking about it, the twin brother raised his wrist again to look at the data, and then said, "New trajectory information has been collected, and the target should be deeper." ”

With that, the twin brothers bypassed the corpses on the ground and went deeper into the cave.

Zhang Yu was extremely disgusted by this defilement of the deceased, so he covered up the body with a capture gel before leaving, thinking that he would bury her properly when the matter was over.

And just when Zhang Yu finished doing these things, Zhang Yu faintly heard a voice behind him: "Thank you......"

The voice was ghostly and cold, and it made people's scalps tingle when they heard it.

When Zhang Yu subconsciously turned around, he didn't see anything, as if he had auditory hallucinations.

Did I hear it wrong? Zhang Yu thought about it and began to confirm the surrounding ghost energy waveform data, but after checking it around, he found no abnormality, so he hurriedly caught up with the twins.

As we continued to go deeper into the bottom of the cave, more and more strange blood sacrifices appeared on both sides of the road.

Zhang Yu's heart became more and more uneasy.

He had heard before that the "disciples" seemed to be studying some supernatural powers in recent years, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Of course, Zhang Yu is only guessing now, maybe he guessed wrong, everything in front of him has nothing to do with the "disciple", but the behavior of the free people themselves.

After going down for about 500 meters, they finally came to a dark stone gate at the bottom of the cave.

Here, Zhang Yu saw more corpses, but these corpses were no longer the corpses that had been used as blood sacrifices before, but a group of armed men who were in a miserable state of death.

Their corpses were scattered around the giant stone door, disorganized, and it seemed that they were not used for some kind of ritual, but were killed by some monster that came out of the "door".

Although Zhang Yu had never seen this scene, he felt that it was not unfamiliar at all.

The cliché of extremists seeking the power of uncleanliness and then murdering after summoning the demons they worship should have some impression even if you haven't seen it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu still wanted to laugh.

But these are not Zhang Yu's concerns, he didn't go deep here to find the truth behind any incident, he came to find Jin Yuan.

But now that we have reached the bottom of the cave, there are only some strange symbols and incomprehensible words on the surrounding rock walls, and there are no other intersections, but there is still no shadow of Jinyuan.

Don't......

Zhang Yu's attention shifted from his surroundings to the strange stone door in front of him.

He'd noticed it when he first got here, because it was so big and eye-catching.

Ten meters high, four meters five wide, the appearance is not regular, but the overall structure is clear, it is a stone gate with a rock structure.

However, the stone door is closed, and the detection results show that there is no abnormality, so what is the mystery of it?

Just as he was thinking, the twin brother had bypassed the corpses on the ground and came to the steps outside the stone gate, and he stared at the symbol on the pedestal of the stone gate and said, "This is the 'Chaos Mark' recorded in the Dead Sea Papers, and it is the shame mark of the human rebels. ”

Mark of Chaos? Human rebels?

Zhang Yu looked dazed, he really hadn't paid much attention to the Dead Sea Papers, but it seemed that the twin brother knew a lot about it, so he stepped forward and asked, "What Chaos Mark?" And what about the human rebels? ”

The twin brother leaned down and began to collect the data information of those symbols, and the twin brother replied in charge: "The Dead Sea Document records that after the end of the Final War, the High Court exiled the rebellious human army to the hellish city of Jupiter, but the exiled rebels did not disappear, on the contrary, they relied on Jupiter's resources to launch a counterattack against humanity after the darkest period, and they called themselves 'Messengers of Chaos' in a vain attempt to obstruct the final opening of the truth of origins, but in the end they failed...... After the end of this battle, the Chaos Rebels were banished into the chaotic leap space, and have been cursed and tormented by time for eternity! ”

After listening to such a record, Zhang Yu felt like he was listening to myths and legends.

What human rebels...... What chaos......

Zhang Yu had no idea what these represented, but he could probably tell that the "Chaos Rebels" described in this story must be the enemies of all mankind, otherwise how could they be banished and cursed for eternity?

Other than that...... If this door has anything to do with the Chaos Rebels, who is trying to open it, and has this blood sacrifice succeeded?

After a series of problems, Zhang Yu's first reaction was not to continue to investigate, he was now starting to panic.

If it is really as recorded in the "Dead Sea Documents", then judging from the tragic situation in the Red Dragon Canyon, some people should have succeeded, which means that there is no way to deal with it with the strength of him and Xia Yiyi alone.

So Zhang Yu said to the twin brothers: "Quick! Withdraw it! We have to report this as soon as possible! ”

But the twin brothers turned a deaf ear, and they were already standing on the steps under the stone door, and they both looked up as if they were looking at something.

Zhang Yu was anxious, and immediately rushed up to try to pull the two away.

But when his hand touched the two men, it was empty.

At that moment, Zhang Yu's heart trembled, and the bad premonition had never been so strong.

If you catch it again, it's still empty.

The twin brothers continued to walk upward, as if they had been trapped by the stone gate, and had even escaped from the real world and turned into a pair of shadows.

"This?

！ Feed! Can you hear me? Yes! Come back! Come back soon! After Zhang Yu tried a few more times, all that remained was helpless shouting.

However, the twins had already reached the door.

They opened their masks, then looked at each other and smiled, and then dozens of arms poked out of the stone door grabbed their bodies.

Zhang Yu's heart trembled, and the whole person was shocked.

Those pitch-black arms poked out of the stone door, grabbed all parts of the twin brothers' bodies, and then slowly retracted, and the twin brothers did not struggle in the slightest, just grabbed into the stone gate.

The strangeness of this situation is beyond Zhang Yu's cognition.

Although he knew that there were many paranormal phenomena in the world that could not be explained by existing science, he did not expect to be a first-hand experiencer.

Subconsciously retreated, Zhang Yu turned around in a hurry and fled the way he came.

But at some point, there was no exit in sight around the stone gate.

The surrounding rock walls seem to have become cages......

Zhang Yu has no chance to escape if he wants to......

……

Outside the cave, Xia Yiyi, who had been waiting for half an hour, was a little breathless, she thought that Zhang Yu and they should come out after a while, but she didn't expect them to disappear after they went down.

And there are only two possibilities for this to happen.

One is that the cave is very deep, but there is not much danger, they are just groping deeper, and it is not yet time to turn back.

Another possibility is that they encountered monsters that were far superior to them, and they were wiped out before they even had a chance to escape.

But judging from the data information, the three of them are currently living in normal condition, and they haven't encountered any monsters in the future.

And Wang Kun squatted on the side and was about to fall asleep.

He thought that coming here was nothing more than a job to rob people, and it was a big deal to let go of his hands and fight with the freemen, but he didn't expect that the freedmen in this canyon would be wiped out, not to mention, and now he actually played "tomb exploration...... This is much beyond Wang Kun's ability, so he just wants to be a little soldier who doesn't want anything and just stay honestly.

But as soon as he fell asleep here, he was woken up by Liu Meng.

Wang Kun was startled, immediately got up, and then raised his weapon vigilantly.

But it was very quiet and nothing happened.

After glancing at Liu Meng with some unpleasantness, Wang Kun asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Meng gestured to Wang Kun and said, "Look at ...... over there."

Wang Kun followed Liu Meng's line of sight and looked into the distance, and then he was stunned.

"Huh? Isn't that Boss Kim? ”

Xia Yiyi was also stunned, she looked back and saw a person standing in the distance of the canyon, he was waving to everyone in the distance.

Wang Kunle was happy: "Ouch, good feelings, Boss Jin is not in this cave, so what are we waiting for, hurry up and call the boss out." Saying that, Wang Kun was going to contact Zhang Yu.

But Xia Yiyi frowned and said, "Are you sure what you see is Jin Yuan?" ”

Wang Kun was stunned for a moment, he narrowed the field of vision module again, and then saw Jin Yuan with a smile on his face very clearly.

"That's right, who else could that be if it's not Boss Jin?"

When Xia Yiyi and the people in Kobe heard this, they took out their weapons one after another and changed to a fighting stance.

"Then why don't you ask Liu Meng, who did he see?"

Wang Kun was stunned, turned his head to look at Liu Meng, and then noticed that Liu Meng was stunned.

"Uh...... What's the matter, don't you see it the same as I do? ”

Although Liu Meng was reluctant to admit it, judging from Wang Kun's reaction just now, he was not joking...... That means...... The people they see are not the same.

What about the facts?

When Liu Meng found out that someone was coming this way, he really didn't notice who the other party was, but he was instinctively alert.

But when he got up, he found that the man was somewhat familiar.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Zhang Yu.

So Liu Meng became suspicious, but he didn't expect that after waking up Wang Kun, what Wang Kun saw was Jin Yuan.

Jin Yuan and Zhang Yu are very different in size and appearance, and it is impossible to confuse them even if they don't know each other...... So this is beckoning to them, and the one who is definitely coming is not good.

In Xia Yiyi's impression, there are only two things that can have this kind of ability.

The first is the xenomorph that has evolved multiple disguises, although this kind of thing is not common on Gaia, it is not too mysterious, and their disguise is their greatest alienation ability, as long as it is detected early, it is basically impossible to pose a threat to people.

But the second one is different.

"Angel of the Law of the Human Form? Tut! I thought these things were completely gone after the Curtain of the Center! Xia Yiyi's shirtless man looked fanatical, and it seemed that he was looking forward to the next battle.

Wang Kun and Liu Meng showed frightened expressions.

"What? Angel of the law in human form? Wang Kun's tone changed.

The shirtless man smiled and asked, "What?" Are you afraid? ”

The corners of Wang Kun's mouth twitched, could he not be afraid.

You must know that it used to be a hundred-to-one existence, and in Wang Kun's concept, the humanoid law angel is a nightmare-like existence that is much more terrifying than the K-class xenomorph.

Xia Yiyi glanced at Wang Kun and said, "If you're afraid, stay here and don't move, we'll deal with it." Saying that, Xia Yiyi rushed towards the human-form law angel first.

The men she brought with her were not ambiguous, and the shirtless men were even faster.

"Hahaha! This thing is mine!! The shirtless man laughed wildly as he rushed, as if he was fighting for some treasure.
