This aura is deadly

"There is more than one sky corridor, but you have to go around it from other floors, and it is a long way." Wang Aileen said, she subconsciously pushed up her glasses, as if she thought of something bad.

At this time, the whole office suddenly shook, as if the floor was moving. Chen Ke supported the wall with his left hand, trying to stand firm. Wang Aileen also held on to the cabinet beside her that was fixed on the wall.

This vibration was accompanied by a huge friction sound, and Chen Ke could also hear a sigh-like sound coming from underneath the entire spherical building.

The vibration lasted for more than two minutes before it stopped. When everything calmed down again, Chen Ke looked at Wang Aileen and asked: "This ball... will it spin around by itself when nothing happens?"

"No... this is the self-sealing mechanism of the spherical containment station... After a containment leak occurs, if the system cannot detect any manual intervention, it will initiate the final self-sealing procedure..." Wang Aileen said.

"You mean, we are locked inside...?" Chen Ke asked.

Wang Aileen nodded. She walked to the office door and looked at the corridor outside. Without walking to the door, Chen Ke could see changes in the outside environment through the small window on the door.

The corridor, which was originally illuminated by white woven lights, is now immersed in a halo of dark red warning lights.

Chen Ke couldn't understand why all buildings chose dark red lights as a reminder after an emergency. Couldn't they change to a more cheerful color?

At this time, he heard the sound of some cables breaking. Wang Ailin sat by the door, holding her earphones, her expression a little depressed.

"Wang Aileen...what is that sound?" Chen Ke asked.

"The air corridor self-destructs... This is the last instruction of the self-sealing procedure to prevent sentient containment projects in the spherical containment station from leaving..." Wang Aileen said, although there was some fear in her words, she was a scientific researcher at the institute after all. The personnel are still somewhat mentally prepared for this situation.

"There must be other ways... Even if it is self-isolation, there must be an escape route for people. Didn't they consider it when building this building?" Chen Ke was unwilling to sit still and wait for death. There will definitely be a way.

"No... we didn't build this place... Chen Ke, this spherical containment station itself is also a containment object..." Wang Aileen said slowly.

"..." Chen Ke opened his mouth, not knowing what else he could say.

It turns out that this ball is an ancient building found deep in the Nevada desert. Its external structure is indestructible, and its internal structure can change freely.

After some internal modifications, the Authority was used as a refuge for the President during the Psionic Wars...

Later, the United States Federation's research institute requisitioned it as a storage site for various alienated objects, and it has been used to this day.

Surrounding the star bulkhead, the uppermost level is a large scientific research center for researchers to conduct experiments. Below, there are 127 floors, each with a different number of rooms for individual containment.

The containment measures on the 127th floor actually only occupy a small half of the space of the sphere. There is still 60% of the space below that can be expanded and renovated, and the floor area near the center of the sphere is larger.

However, the Administration and the Research Institute have clearly stipulated that the bottom 20% of the space must be strictly contained and transformed. Wang Aileen did not disclose the specific reasons.

Chen Ke was pacing around the room. So, they should be in the research center now.

The unconscious researchers wandering outside were murmuring. The sound combined with the dark red light in the corridor seemed very scary. The door of Research Room 0451 was broken by Chen Ke. Wang Ailin's current emotional state could not be said to be stable.

As a scientific researcher, Wang Ailin will be more rational when it comes to spiritual things. If fear comes from the unknown, then Wang Ailin has much less unknown things than others...

But even so, people still can't escape the instinctive resistance to strange environments. Wang Aileen hugged her knees and stared at the coffee cup that fell on the ground opposite, trying to focus her attention.

Being able to meet such a girl, under the current circumstances, has relieved a lot of burden for Chen Ke. He is not afraid of fighting, but he is afraid that there is a giant baby around him who needs his care.

Now that it was temporarily safe here, and he couldn't go anywhere, Chen Ke straightened the table that had fallen on the ground, dragged it to the door, and blocked the door. Although this doesn't help, at least it makes people look more at ease.

"Now that it's like this... let's talk about business." Chen Ke sat opposite Wang Aileen and put his gun back into its holster.

"But before that, I have many things to ask you, Chen Ke, will you tell me the real situation?" Wang Aileen raised her head and asked.

"Depending on what your questions are, I may refuse to answer some questions, and I may ignore the details of others." Chen Kedao.

Wang Ailin adjusted her eyes, quickly got up from the ground, ran to the table, took out a small notebook and a water-based pen from the drawer, and then sat down opposite Chen Ke again.

"Now...are you going to..." Chen Ke was a little confused.

"Chen Ke, Diana told me something. When you took the subway, you traveled to the world in 2006, right?" Wang Aileen asked.

"It depends on how you look at it. This year is 2009, you know, but the time period we are going to is no different from the end of the world." Chen Ke replied.

Not only that, he had traveled from 2018, but all the countries and histories here were inconsistent with what Chen Ke was familiar with.

"I know, but this happens to be the charm of time. Chen Ke, have you ever met a living person there, right?" Wang Aileen asked impatiently.

Chen Ke thought for a while, wondering whether he should tell her the real situation. After all, Wang Ailin was from the institute, and it would not be good for her to know too much.

"No, there is no one in that world, only red dust is left, which is... what I might become... But then again... what is that pile of dust over there?" Chen Ke said as he spoke. , while pointing to the things on the table in the research room.

There was a large amount of dust piled on a platform more than one meter long. Due to the vibration just now, some dust spilled onto the floor. The instrument probes at the four corners were inserted into the ashes, as if testing the readings.

"That's the body of an investigator... It's not very important. Let's continue talking about what happened in 2006. Diana told me that when you went there, you were in Xiaoyao City. Is there a big difference between that Xiaoyao City and our Xiaoyao City? ?" Wang Aileen said while taking a pen to record something.

"I don't know. I have never been to Xiaoyao City. I don't know if there will be any difference between the two Xiaoyao cities, but I am sure that the world over there is already doomed. If it is really our past, What does that mean now?" Chen Ke shook his head.

"That's the problem, Chen Ke, maybe time is not as we know it. Maybe time has no cause and effect, before and after..." Wang Ailin said.

"I think this is illogical. What we say and what we do all have causes and consequences. Motives lead to actions, actions bring results, and results lead to new motivations..." Chen Kedao.

"But how do you explain this...I...I have seen you in my hallucination." Wang Aileen said.

"What do you mean?" Chen Ke was confused.

"I... saw you twice, both times under some kind of hallucination, and the things I experienced these two times seemed to have happened today..." Wang Aileen said.

"Maybe you just had a dream... Human dreams are a disordered combination of existing memories... Maybe..." Chen Ke said, feeling that even he didn't believe what he said.

Wang Aileen did know her name before she introduced herself, and from just now, she never asked who she was...

It was as if she had seen herself before.
