Indescribable cyberpunk - #619 - Chapter 606 Overlapping Worlds
Hallucination?
The same question arises in the minds of all the survivors in the neighborhood.
They received orders from their superiors and came to Community No. 1, set up a warning zone, evacuated the people, and waited for people from the scientific research institute to come and take over the on-site investigation.
But just in a moment.
The world has changed!
They see monsters and then find themselves in a disgustingly weird world.
So they started fighting, using all the combat abilities they had learned in daily training. However, the bullets ejected from the guns in their hands went straight through the monster’s body, and the melee weapons seemed to be waving in the air, with no real sense of hitting. .
The depressing fact is that this is indeed the case.
Their attacks have no effect on monsters!
But the monster’s claws, tentacles, and even its disgusting appearance put them in dire straits!
However, when they realized this and gave up counterattack and prepared to evacuate at all costs, the monsters disappeared as suddenly as they appeared, leaving only the mess on the ground and their fallen comrades.
The survivors hugged the corpse, and the medical equipment was at hand. As the first-line defense force of Thousand Sail City, the medical equipment equipped with them was undoubtedly of outstanding performance.
As long as he is not killed on the spot, even missing arms and legs can be saved.
But when the survivors rummaged through the bodies of their comrades and tried to repair them, they could not see any wounds.
The only thing that can be seen is the face that has not yet closed its eyes and is full of panic.
“Get out of this neighborhood, now!”
The captain of the neighborhood patrol team was still alive. As the person with the highest authority at the scene, he tried to wake up the surrounding soldiers who had not yet recovered from what had just happened and lead them away from the neighborhood.
This is the right decision.
“Sir, we encountered a large number of monsters. They appeared suddenly. I suspect it was caused by the space distortion above the community. Our attacks were ineffective against them. We suffered heavy casualties, including the security team. We are in urgent need of support.”
Staggeringly moving outward, the captain of the patrol team received a direct communication from the security minister. He breathlessly reported everything that happened at the scene. However, he was interrupted by the commander in the middle of the sentence. After a short silence, the progress stopped. He stood there, his face full of astonishment, his lips opened and closed, and he continued to say rather awkwardly,
“Impossible, those monsters appeared right in front of us. How could there be nothing? There must be something wrong somewhere. No, I’m sure it wasn’t an illusion. Do you think those dead soldiers were scared to death by hallucinations? “
There was no reply from the other side of the communication, and not long after, an email entered his mailbox.
Inside was exactly what happened in their neighborhood a few minutes ago.
As the Minister of Security said, they were the only ones in the video who were shooting randomly, running, shouting into the air, and doing meaningless tactical actions, just like clowns performing without real objects on a stage play. , but there is no humorous soundtrack, only depressing silence.
Then they fell down, one after another!
“The support force will arrive within five minutes. Judging from the current situation, we believe that the terrorist organization has affected your spirit in some way. Paradise Intelligence is conducting a region-wide search to find suspicious characters. There will be A professional team will take over the scene, you can find a place to rest, and someone will come to conduct a mental test on you later.”
“But we really encountered a monster, we…”
He knew that the Minister of Security thought they were hallucinating. He wanted to refute and opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn’t know what to say.
Because even he couldn’t be sure whether what he just encountered was an illusion.
Turning off the communication in a daze, a familiar siren sounded in the sky not far away.
It should be the second batch of support troops from the Ministry of Security.
Maybe they will also encounter the same situation as themselves, or maybe they won’t. After all, they are a professional team.
Is that really an illusion?
of course not!
In the fantasy realm of Gadamon.
Not long after they arrived nearby, Zhu Jue and Gu Yinxing were approaching the area where the whirlpool was located along the hidden outer streets.
To be precise, Zhu Jue was running with Gu Yinxing on his back. The latter not only closed his eyes, but also covered his ears with his hands.
This is a helpless move.
The reason is very simple. Zhu Jue, who gained special abilities because of Gadamon, immediately noticed strange psychic fluctuations in the distance after entering Community No. 1 through the direct elevator channel.
In order to reach the destination as soon as possible without missing key information and to ensure Gu Gingxing’s mental state as much as possible, Zhu Jue could only choose to speed up in this way.
As the distance continued to shrink, Zhu Jue began to sort out their flow direction from the majestic spiritual energy continuously pouring out of the vortex in the sky.
It is clear that this vortex has nothing to do with Gu Gingxing’s mental state, so there is only one possibility left, which is that it was created by the group of cultists in the Ouroboros organization. Therefore, as long as the flow of these energies is found, perhaps Can determine the core of the problem!
Leave the outer streets and turn onto the main road of Community No. 1.
Gu Yinxing only felt that the person carrying her rushed forward for a while after turning the corner, then stopped and seemed to retreat into the alleyway.
“What’s wrong?”
“You’ll understand when you open your eyes.”
Zhu Jue’s voice came, and Gu Yinxing opened her eyes immediately. The sight in front of her made her a little startled and her eyes widened.
“How did we get back to the wrong place, and why are the scenes from the real world here?”
What appeared in front of Gu Yinxing’s eyes was clearly the real street scene of Community No. 1. Whether it was the things that were not distorted at all or the normal ambient light, she subconsciously thought that they were back in the real world, but the alleyway environment they were in made her feel uncomfortable. She was sure that she was not out of the illusion yet.
“It must be related to the vortex we saw just now. The surrounding energy is not reacting right. You wait for me here!”
Zhu Jue, who saw the changes in the environment on this street first, immediately connected the scene in front of him with the whirlpool in the fantasy sky.
This is Gadamon’s illusion. Zhu Jue knows that what appears in front of him may not be the real real environment, but a projection-like existence. This can be seen from the heavy rain that is still falling around him.
Relying on his keen sense of spiritual energy, Zhu Jue noticed that a large amount of spiritual energy was converging towards the middle of the street. Zhu Jue, wearing a black robe, approached there.
Not all areas have been converted to reality.
At this moment, the main street of the community in the fantasy world is like a blend of the real world and the fantasy world. The two worlds are intertwined like building blocks, and different pictures can be seen every few meters.
After passing through a mechanical arch, Zhu Jue finally arrived at the middle of the street.
The first thing that appeared in front of Zhu Jue was the large number of Baiyaki hovering above the street and the small groups of cultists below. But what really attracted his attention was the bone tree in the center of the street and the suspended tree on its top. An extremely eye-catching black figure!
