Cthulhu

In the middle of the upside-down tree, huge branches like tall buildings stand on the ground.

The reddish-brown branches are like weird arms that penetrate the earth from the sky, constantly grabbing the vitality of the earth.

The closer we get to the fallen tree, the more intense the nameless restlessness becomes.

If there is just a person in the outer layer who keeps whispering in your ear, constantly irritating your nerves, and filling your mind with thoughts of killing.

Then when you reach the middle level, it's as if there is a pair of invisible hands above your head, forcing scenes of killing into your mind.

The sight of mutilated limbs and blood was coupled with the constant lies coming from his ears.

There seem to be countless pairs of eyes staring at you, and monsters will pop out at any time to tear your body apart.

But the horror in the middle level does not lie in these illusions. The real terror is that the illusions are occasionally mixed with a few real monsters.

Real and fake, you can't tell whether it is reality or fiction, and it also puts you in a state of tension all the time.

However, how long can a person maintain a constant state of tension?

One day

If you think too much, being on high alert for two hours will consume all your energy for the day.

Any creature that can survive in the middle layer cannot be underestimated.

Since arriving here, Al's virtual brain has been disappearing and appearing, resisting the inexplicable illusions.

Al brought the black ball with the big eye to a valley.

"It's nice here."

The valley is surrounded by two hills and is very secluded, making it a good place to set up a base.

And more importantly, if a nuclear bomb is detonated in this kind of terrain, surrounded by two hills next to it, the nuclear bomb will be more powerful.

Al controlled the Gundam and quickly built a simple stone house.

Bury the nuclear bomb behind the Gundam directly under the stone house.

Then he took out the black ball with the big eyes wrapped around it.

The black energy dissipated, and the big confused eyes were revealed.

As soon as he came out, Big Eyes felt something was wrong, and a wave of illusions invaded him. There seemed to be countless pairs of malicious eyes around his body.

"This is the middle level." The big-eyed voice was filled with fear.

"Yes."

"Why did you bring me here? I will die, I really will die." Big Eyes thought anxiously, and its body rolled rapidly, as if escaping from the middle level.

It was precisely because he understood the horror of the middle level that Big Eyes ignored everything and wanted to escape from here.

At this moment, it is constantly being impacted by terrifying illusions, and fear instantly breaks through its defenses.

That's why it desperately wants to escape from here.

Al stretched out his hand to directly stop Big Eye, took out a garland of four-leaf flowers from behind and put it on Big Eye's head.

In an instant, Big Eye felt that his surroundings suddenly became quiet. All the eyes in the shadows disappeared, and the terrifying illusion dissipated.

The big eyes asked Al with a cry: "Boss, you didn't tell me that your base is on the middle floor. I'm so scared. Can you give me this hat? It's so useful. It can make these illusions disappear."

The ball on Big Eye's body rolled, and he quickly hid the garland inside his body, and then carefully glanced at Al, for fear that Al would snatch the garland back.

Chu Chu's pitiful look left Al speechless.

"Just stay in the house and I'll go out."

In fact, Al just found an excuse to go out, wanting to give Big Eye a chance to send messages to their organization, and to attract more monsters here.

If I had been staying with this little monster, how could it dare to do such a thing as running away in front of it if it was so timid.

However, Al seemed to have misjudged its timidity.

"Boss, don't leave. I feel very insecure without you. This is the middle level."

As soon as he heard that Al was going to throw it into the house alone, Big Eyes hurriedly stuck to Al's leg, and no matter how hard Al threw it, it wouldn't go down.

Big eyes are not stupid, every fool can survive here.

"Boss, stop testing me. I really won't run away. I really want to recognize you as the boss. This place is not your base at all. This is the Rusol Valley, which is not your base at all."

Big Eyes said quickly, constantly trying to gain Al's trust. "Isn't it okay for me to just do whatever you ask me to do?"

Hearing Big Eye's words, Al's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a slightly questioning tone: "You know this place in the Rusol Valley."

It is obviously such a timid creature, but just now it was unable to control itself and wanted to escape under the erosion of the illusion. As a result, it can directly tell where this place is based on some of the smell of the land here.

It can be seen that it is not generally familiar with this place.

Everything from the moment they met, all the weak looks, are just a disguise.

After hearing Al's words, Big Eyes' body obviously paused, and he no longer pretended to tremble.

"If I say that I came here by chance, boss, would you believe it?" A voice with big eyes sounded helpless.

"Do you think I should believe it or not?" Al asked, he finally saw through it. This guy is just an actor. His previous performances were so good, but they were all lies and none of them told the truth.

The flesh ball on Big Eye's body that was imprinted with the steel seal of thought suddenly withered and separated from the body. Big Eye seemed to be freed from some shackles.

It walked out of the house and took Al to an open space not far from the house.

He said in a faint tone: "I didn't lie to you, I really came to this place by chance. As for why I am so familiar with this place, the reason is underground."

Al was stunned.

地下

what the hell is this

Big Eyes did not explain, but began to dig downwards. The ball-like body was very flexible, and the ball penetrated into the ground, easily digging a large hole in the ground.

In the large pit, a group of high explosives suddenly appeared in the center.

Al took two steps back in fright.

Damn, I met a colleague

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence. I thought this was a good place to ambush, but it turned out that others thought the same, and everyone wanted to go together.

"Why are you pretending to retreat? Your body is not real." Big Eyes said faintly, with an unintelligible tone, and said with a sigh: "With your appearance of not being afraid of death, your body is definitely fake.

Do you know why I am familiar with this place? Because the idea of ​​planting a bomb here has already occurred to me.

Not only here, but also around this fallen tree, any place suitable for traps has been turned into different traps by me.

I am not strong in combat, but I am the master in setting traps."

Al only felt that the form suddenly changed. The strong contrast not only made him a little stunned, but also made him feel a little scared.

I didn't expect that this little thing in front of me could be hidden so deeply.

He said with some caution and hesitation: "Why are you telling me this."

Big Eyes continued to speak: "Boss, I'm really scared. This body of mine is my real body. If you leave and leave me here as bait, I will really die."

Looking at Al's eyes that were still full of suspicion, his eyes were helpless. This was the result of telling too many lies.

Big Eyes continued, "Boss, your plan is too crude. Even if I call the members of the organization, not many people will come. If this really works, I would have used this trick long ago.

What really attracts them is a powerful opponent.

You have to let them know how powerful you are, and they can get a huge amount of energy by killing you.

This will arouse their interest, wait for them to get together, and then bang them all over at the same time.

Boss, how about we cooperate and gain [-]% to [-]% of the energy harvested, [-]% to you and [-]% to me..."
