I Was Once a Legend

This line of small characters appeared in the upper right corner of Dong Zheng and Linhai's field of vision, and after a while, it gradually faded and disappeared from sight.

Dong Zheng had seen this prompting method in the manual, and when he thought about it, the words were displayed again.

Linhai sat cross-legged on the ground, and presumably he was proficient at operating it. After half a minute, he stood up and looked around curiously.

This is a typical labyrinth shape. All you can see is a wall about four meters high, with unknown climbing plants growing on it, which looks ordinary.They were in a short straight passage with a corner ahead.

Dong Zheng took the lead: "Let's go and find the fragments."

Everyone has no objection, a group of people walked around the corner, and could vaguely hear voices from the other side of the wall.

"Hello! Is anyone there!" Lin Hai shouted.

The voice was still ringing, but there was no response from the other side.

"Stop shouting, they won't be able to hear you." Cui Zuojing walked beside Dong Zheng, turned to look at Linhai, and said, "It's not without reason that the Labyrinth of Time is listed as a forbidden area. The power of time and space is involved. Overflowing and chaotic, there is no pattern to be found at all, and now you hear the voice and feel that they are on the opposite side, but in fact they may be on the other side of the maze."

"And the wall here will change when you don't notice it at all, or in other words, it changes a direction and position in front of your face, and you forget it under the force of time. What I saw just now, I just feel that it moved in a blink of an eye when you didn't pay attention."

"It's so scary!" Lin Hai hastened to follow behind Dong Zheng, "Wouldn't it be easy to get lost?"

Cui Zuojing: "Yes, and it's full of wormholes, so I can't pay attention at all. Maybe I was walking in front of you one second ago, and then I was walking behind you in the next second, but with me, the time should be around." It won't be so messy."

Cui Zuojing revealed some meaningful information unintentionally, or intentionally. Dong Zheng glanced at him, and could vaguely feel that Cui Zuojing was luring him to explore. The more curious you are, the easier it is to be restrained by him.

But Dong Zheng wouldn't take the bait so easily.

Promising something to Cui Zuojing doesn't mean you have to listen to him.

After all, there are too many secrets and doubts about this young man, they have only known each other for three or four days, so they can't be called familiar at all, and at the very beginning, Cui Zuojing even wanted to kill him and Linhai.

It is good that Cui Zuojing, who is bound by a blood bond, can't harm him, but it doesn't prevent the young man from deliberately guiding him and Linhai in the designed direction.

As newcomers, even if they were cheated, they might not realize it at all.

Dong Zheng: "This way you don't have to worry about memorizing the map, but again, you can only wait for the countdown to end or after the collection is complete, Kars will send us out."

The Labyrinth of Time seems to be at the end of summer, and the air is filled with hot and humid air. Dong Zheng and Linhai had no idea of ​​the climate conditions inside when they arrived. The tactical suit was designed. I don't know what kind of black technology is used in this suit, which can automatically adjust the body temperature within a certain range.

And Cui Zuojing is still accustomed to white clothes and black trousers, with a long-sleeved jacket outside, just like an ordinary high school boy.

The three of them and one cat walked for about [-] meters, Dong Zheng at the front suddenly stopped, and a wall appeared in front of him without warning, blocking the road ahead, making him almost Hitting it on the head.

Now both Dong Zheng and Lin Hai fully understood Cui Zuojing's explanation, even though he was still amazed in his heart - did the wall really move before his eyes, and did he forget everything he saw?

It is estimated that no one can make it clear.

Dong Zheng touched the wall with his hand, feeling the coolness of the vine leaves and the slightly prickly thorns. Suddenly, behind a leaf, he touched something bulging.

He paused, pushed aside the leaf, Lin Hai leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"

In order for Dong Zheng and Dong Linhai to get the due experience, Cui Zuojing made an agreement with them at the very beginning, if it was not in an emergency that endangered their lives, he and Victor would not easily help.

This is also to hope that the two will not do nothing because they have powerful prisoners and summoned beasts, and the tragedy of salting and death will eventually occur.

"Found this."

A small red button, which seems to be able to open some mechanism, is made of rubber, with "press" written on it with white paint.

"Press and try?" Linhai suggested.

Dong Zheng pressed it, the indicator light inside the button lit up, and then the outline of a door appeared on the wall. With the voice reminder that the "identity test" had passed from nowhere, the door whose color perfectly blended with the wall gradually changed. It became the cool white color common in laboratories, and slowly opened to both sides silently.

"Are there any fragments of books in here?" Lin Hai looked inside, and saw that there were many tightly closed doors on both sides of the corridor, which was also dominated by cold white, and there were many places to swipe access control cards beside it.

"It should be, go in and take a look." Dong Zheng took the lead, and everyone walked into this laboratory that didn't know which time and space it was located in. At the end, Cui Zuojing also came in. The door was just like it was when it was opened. Quietly closed.

All the access control lights were in red, and there was a faint voice coming from a door in the deepest part of the corridor, like a fierce quarrel, but when they approached, the voice disappeared.

Dong Zheng: "The fragments should be inside."

Linhai raised his hand and pressed on the fingerprint reader, as expected, he didn't have permission: "But how do we get in? Brother Octopus didn't give us a pass or anything like that."

Cui Zuojing couldn't help but raised the corner of his lower lip, "It's okay, don't say that nickname in front of Kars."

Victor kindly reminded Dong Linhai: "Kars has a bad temper. The last one who dared to call him an octopus has already been poured into cement to build a library."

Linhai was terrified all of a sudden, Cui Zuojing took the opportunity to fan the flames to scare him, "No creature will die in the library of time and space, even if you are poured into cement by Kars, at most you will be drowned in the pain of suffocation forever, when the time comes we come here to borrow Book, you are listening in the wall, maybe we beg Kars to let him let your mouth out, and we can have a few words, which is great."

Cui Zuojing was busy intimidating Dong Linhai, Victor was watching the play, only Dong Zheng was still thinking about the fragments, he studied for a while, then turned his head and said: "Let's find out if there is an access card first."

"Of course not! You are really bad, you will scare me, tell my brother if you have the ability." Lin Hai insisted on holding the stage, and pulled Dong Zheng over to embolden himself.

"Don't make trouble, hurry up and find the access control card." Dong Zheng began to have a faint headache, and Cui Zuojing's undisguised malice towards Linhai made him helpless.After a few days of getting along, Dong Zheng could feel that Cui Zuojing completely believed in the supremacy of strength, and in his eyes, being weak seemed to be a kind of original sin.

It was as if he had never been weak.

This little devil-like boy is not pleasing to the truth. He often has a smile on his face, but his eyes are cold and devoid of any emotion. This often makes Dong Zheng can't help thinking that in Cui Zuojing's eyes, he Was He Linhai only used as a tool to achieve a certain purpose?

But now, they who have no strength to fight against Cui Zuojing really can only obediently be tool people. Once things develop any signs of something wrong, Dong Zheng will immediately use the three mandatory orders in the blood contract to get rid of Cui Zuojing. thorn.

Turning the corner, this corridor is not as bright as it was when I came here, only a few emergency lights glow faintly.The entire test base is beyond imagination, and the passages are intertwined like spider webs. Dong Zheng walked through more than a dozen almost identical passages before finally seeing the first person here.

A dead researcher.

As if he had lost the support of his spine, he twisted and leaned against the wall in a terrifying posture, with his head lowered, and there was no blood on his clean and tidy white coat.

Dong Zheng got the access permit chip from his wristband, didn't waste time to observe the corpse to find out the cause of the researcher's death, and went back the same way as fast as he could, and opened the door through which the sound had come through.

There was a soft sound of "beep", and the green light of "permitted" replaced the red light. Dong Zheng pushed the door and went in, and at a glance, he saw the experimental platform, which exuded a faint white light, and the translucent fragments like the earth model were slowly moving. spinning.

These are the fragments of ancient books that are lost here.Dong Zheng stretched out his hand to touch it, and immediately heard the faint arguing sound when he just entered this space again.

"Stop all further research on JM-216, this is an order from the Supreme Council!"

"But the experiment is about to be completed! We have already sacrificed so much manpower and material resources, and Dr. Downton even lost his life because of it. How can we just give up like this!"

"Don't you understand! From the very beginning of the experiment, Downton said that what JM-216 brought may not be hope, his death was not an operation error at all, JM-216 really—"

The quarrel came to an abrupt end here.

The earth model fell into Dong Zheng's palm, and at the same time a paragraph appeared in his mind:

[Our new discovery may completely destroy the entire world. ——JM Gray Matter Doomsday]

"Okay, next one." Dong Zheng turned around neatly, Cui Zuojing opened the door of the laboratory, the corridor disappeared, and the scene outside the door was already in the maze.

They returned to the maze again. The collection of fragments was not as difficult as Dong Zheng imagined. With the experience of the first fragment, the subsequent progress should be much faster.

"Not bad." Cui Zuojing gave him a good review.

"It looks quite easy." Linhai said, "I thought I would encounter some weird things, maybe because the location of the fragment just now is relatively friendly?"

Time is urgent. There are 15000 fragments and 2000 people. On average, their group needs to find 15 fragments. They only have four hours. If they want to get tickets and other props here, they need to speed up the progress.

Dong Zheng and Linhai hurried on their way, looking for doors and lost objects leading to other spaces, while Cui Zuojing and Victor followed leisurely.

A group of people were walking, and suddenly heard a joyous cry from behind that belonged to the little girl:

"Little kitty!"

The author has something to say: Gray matter: The gray part of the brain and spinal cord, mainly composed of nerve cells.
