Indescribable cyberpunk - #621 - Chapter 608 Deep World
Naturally, it cannot be a coincidence that the scenes in the real world appear in the fantasy realm.
Turning his gaze back to the street, Zhu Jue discovered that the area occupied by groups of cultists not far away was almost entirely concentrated in the projection of the real world, and around them, there was nothing but mess on the ground and corpses overturned on the ground.
In order to understand the situation as much as possible, Zhu Jue lowered his head to adjust his robe, lowered his hood, and walked quickly through the thick light and shadow in the fantasy realm, heading towards the projection area of the real world that he was interested in.
The location Zhu Jue aimed at was not a remote area with few people, but a location very close to the bone tree.
On the one hand, during his observation, he found that the closer to the bone tree area, the more cultists were around. However, because of the staggered roots of the bone tree, there were clear separations between the various areas, and there was almost no communication between them. Compared to being alone, The most effective way to hide your identity is to find an open space to stand and attract attention. This behavior of blending into the large army is the most effective way to hide your identity.
On the other hand, being close to the bone tree allowed him to feel the flow of energy more clearly and to examine the vortex at close range, as well as the person floating in mid-air.
So Zhu Jue braved the heavy rain to sneak into the group of cultists, and specially found a projection location where the roots of the bone tree were relatively dense.
It was dusk in the real world, and the light was barely bright. However, Gadamon’s fantasy realm was filled with eternal night. This feeling was a bit like turning on several searchlights in a room late at night, with rain falling constantly above your head. This made Zhu Jue feel very uncomfortable when he stepped into the projection area of the real world. Fortunately, it was not enough to affect his mental state.
Zhu Jue can clearly see all the objects in this area in the real world with the help of the light of the real world, but it is limited to visual perception. His sense of smell and hearing are completely unable to receive information from the real world.
At the same time, Zhu Jue saw the corpse next to the cultist more closely.
Heavily armed soldiers, unscarred bodies, and cultists filled with murderous intent.
What just happened on this street speaks for itself.
These cultists used some method to kill people in the real world in the fantasy realm of Gadamon?
Realizing the existence of this possibility, Zhu Jue couldn’t help but recall that the bone tree he saw after entering the Gadamon environment last time had a mental impact on people in the real world.
Could it be that the bone tree, strengthened by the energy gushing out from the vortex, has been able to reach a further level?
Cover the gray-green rhizome in front of you with your palms, trying your best to feel the changes in it while ensuring that the mental fluctuations are not exposed.
As expected, the interior of this special-looking bone tree was filled with manic energy.
Relying on his keen sense of spiritual energy, Zhu Jue soon discovered that the energy transmission in the bone tree was extremely chaotic. The black and purple energy pouring out of the vortex did not seem to be completely absorbed by the bone tree. It could even be said that most of it was just It is stored in the bone tree and circulates continuously.
Not only that, when Zhu Jue touched the cracks on the shell of the bone tree, he discovered that these cracks were not the surface wrinkles that appear as the growth rings of ordinary trees in the real world.
These cracks appear because the bone tree expands rapidly after receiving huge amounts of energy in a short period of time, so that the shell carrying the energy cannot continue to maintain its previous normal state, and has to be forcibly maintained through overloaded trunk expansion.
Yes!
If the bone tree can be strengthened through simple energy infusion, then the cultists of the Ouroboros organization have spent so much effort collecting the souls of infected people during this period will be meaningless.
Obviously, the Ouroboros organization is forcibly catalyzing this bone tree. No, it should be said that they are trying to accomplish a certain goal at the expense of this bone tree!
The question comes back to the original point, what does the Ouroboros organization want to accomplish with the help of the bone tree.
If you want to kill the soldiers who appear on this street in the real world, you don’t need to go to such great lengths, and judging from the fact that they show no signs of dispersing at the moment, they are undoubtedly preparing for further actions.
This time, Zhu Jue no longer chose to watch. To be precise, after understanding his goal, he quickly realized that no matter what the Ouroboros organization wanted to do with the help of the bone tree, all he needed to do was destroy it.
Since Ouroboros relies on this bone tree, all he has to do is destroy it!
How to destroy such a huge bone tree?
Very simple reason.
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest!
He slowly injected his spiritual power into the bone tree, and without doing anything else, he followed the shell of the bone tree and looked for the area where the expansion was the most severe.
Just as Zhu Jue, this rather large “ant” was busy building a nest, he suddenly noticed a change in the energy around him.
Looking around, I saw that the cultists seemed to be making a commotion as well.
While observing these people, Zhu Jue soon noticed that there were also changes in the area projected by the real world. Several driverless mechanical vehicles were driving in from the other end of the street.
The crawler track ran over the messy streets full of bullet marks, and the umbrella-shaped transceiver on the top rotated in all directions, as if collecting some information on the street.
Since the areas projected in the real world are divided into blocks and are not connected to each other, it is like the picture on the monitor. There are always gaps. Zhu Jue can only see the situation in his own area.
Therefore, while continuing to explore the inside of the bone tree, Zhu Jue had to look at other projections around him to check the conditions in other areas on the street.
Fortunately, Zhu Jue was lucky. It didn’t take long for him to find human figures appearing in the projections on his left side.
Three heavily armed security combat teams, but whose equipment was obviously different from the soldiers on the street, were escorting a small team carrying various equipment.
The former’s team was led by power armor, and the soldiers in the rear were either equipped with prosthetics or had medicine bags on their waists. Zhu Jue had seen similar troops in Community No. 35, and also learned from Rona that these people belonged to Thousand Sail City’s official top combat troops, placed outside, almost all of them can equal dozens!
One-on-one, he is not afraid of ordinary monsters that are sources of mental pollution.
There is no need to say more about the kind of person who can be closely escorted by these people.
Zhu Jue observed the movement direction of these people, and it seemed that they were heading straight to the location of the whirlpool, which was the area where the main trunk of the bone tree was located.
Obviously, some kind of phenomenon should have occurred in this area in the real world, otherwise it would not have attracted such attention from the Qianfan City government.
Correspondingly, with the appearance of these three official teams, the figure on the bone tree began to move, with his arms spread horizontally in front of him, and he could vaguely see some light, just because the bone branches were densely covered with branches. Because I can’t see clearly.
In comparison, the vortex that suddenly began to spin above the figure was undoubtedly more eye-catching. Zhu Jue felt the sudden boiling of spiritual energy in the sky almost instantly.
The vortex that I thought was already in an open state has now truly revealed its ferocious appearance!
However, Zhu Jue, who realized this, not only did not feel any surprise, but instead stared at the whirlpool with bright eyes.
This time I came to the right place!
At this time, the spiritual energy that Zhu Jue could feel in the surrounding environment was extremely majestic. Even he could never condense such a level of energy out of thin air in a short period of time.
Why is that guy in the sky?
You must know that Zhu Jue is a person who has been “taken care of” by Gadamon personally. Unless someone risks his life and forcibly dedicates himself to Gadamon, no one will be able to surpass him in spiritual control!
Are there people in the Ouroboros organization who are willing to sacrifice themselves in exchange for Gadamon’s power?
The answer is yes.
But the key is that they don’t have the medicine provided by the ancient ones. Dedicating yourself is equivalent to completely giving up your reason. And since the guy in the sky can appear here to guide energy, this in itself proves that his reason still exists.
So there is only one possibility left for such a majestic spiritual energy source.
The deep world in Gadamon’s illusion!
The members of the Ouroboros organization in the sky are undoubtedly just characters who open the vortex and guide the energy.
And this verified Zhu Jue’s previous guess. If you want to enter the real world in the fantasy realm of Gadamon, you must have the help of the Ouroboros organization cadres. They are the “keys”!
It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to get the key and open the door, but no matter what, Zhu Jue has found the key point, and all he has to do next is to find a way to overcome it.
Time did not stop because of Zhu Jue’s thinking. As the vortex started again, spiritual energy began to flow into the bone tree. This caused the bone tree, which had already expanded to an exaggerated level, to change again, and then the changes were discovered. It is a projection of the real world on the street.
The official team that Zhu Jue had been paying attention to suddenly looked somewhere in the sky, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. It can be inferred that some kind of change occurred in the real world due to the activation of the vortex in the illusion.
The last second was limited to the real-life scene of the playback screen, and the next second there was a violent tremor due to the black-purple mist that diffused from the bone branches.
Zhu Jue, who was standing in a projection area of the real world, suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from nowhere and brushing his face. There was no moisture, but it was raining heavily in the illusion!
Through the eagerness of the cultists, Zhu Jue knew that it wouldn’t be long before this bone tree would activate its special ability again, forcibly merging the two worlds in a special state so as to influence each other. No, exactly. It is said that it allows cultists to have an influence on human beings in the world!
“Believers who walk the world on behalf of God will spread glory to the world!”
Until the figure in the sky realized that the time was ripe, hoarse whispers suddenly echoed on the streets, and the bodies of the cultists under the black robes in the black and purple mist began to mutate.
In the blink of an eye, evil spirits roamed the neighborhood, making it feel like hell!
They each locked on to their own targets, whether they were powered armor, biochemical warriors who had not yet taken out the potion, or scientific researchers who seemed to be protected in the center but were actually completely exposed to the terrifying minions. They only waited for the moment of overlap to kill them. Complete culling!
