Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Ghost Eye Experimental Field

The space inside the warehouse has been transformed beyond recognition. The pale shadowless lamp makes the central area as bright and dazzling as an operating room, which is in sharp contrast with the darkness of the surrounding walls.

The most striking thing is the central area, where stands a huge device with an extremely strange shape, which seems to be made up of all kinds of waste electronic instruments, medical equipment, and pipes and wires of unknown materials. The core of the device is a cylindrical transparent glass cabin filled with dark green viscous liquid that keeps rolling and bubbling.

And soaked in the middle of the liquid, it is the blue-black "ghost eye" Yu Pei!

Yu Pei is sending out a faint, unstable miserable green light at the moment, and the light is beating like a living heartbeat. Countless hairline-thin, translucent pipelines extend from all parts of the device, and their ends are connected with Yu Pei, as if to "power" or "extract" something from it.

Around this core device, there are also a number of rectangular metal containers similar to freezers or life-sustaining cabins in the warehouse. The transparent hatch cover of some containers is open and empty inside; However, several hatch covers are closed, and the outline of a human figure can be faintly seen in the cabin immersed in a light blue solution. The body is also connected with various pipelines, and the pipelines eventually converge on the central device.

Those humanoid ... Are they alive? Or a body? Chen Mo can't be sure, but the echo from the ear nail is full of extreme pain, fear, and desperate cry that consciousness is forcibly pulled away and torn. The source of these whines seems to come from those closed cabins!

This is the "experimental field"? Zhou Wenyuan is using a living person (or some living body) as a "fuel" or "sample" to "stimulate" or "study" the power of Yu Pei? What does he want from it? The image of "glimpsing the gap between life and death" Or something else?

Chen Mo felt a strong nausea and anger. This is more than just collecting relics or studying strangeness. This is a naked, man-made and crazy human experiment!

Just when he tried to see more clearly and recorded all this with the micro camera on the cuff link, the mutation suddenly happened!

In the central device, the light of "Ghost Eye" Yu Pei suddenly flashes and soars violently! The green halo instantly filled the whole glass cabin, even through the pipeline, like a living vein, spreading towards the connected humanoid cabins!

In the cabin touched by the green light, those humanoid contours began to twitch and struggle violently! The cabin made an unbearable "crunch" sound and the solution rolled wildly. At the same time, a huge, chaotic logical torrent mixed with countless painful screams and broken memories, like a flood that burst its banks, broke out from the center of the device and swept the whole warehouse in an instant!

Chen Mo's left ear is like being hit by a heavy hammer! There was an unprecedented and almost splitting pain from the ear nail! Those chaotic and painful logical echoes, like countless red-hot steel needles, forcibly pierced his consciousness!

"Ah-!" He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his eyes were black, his body shook, and he almost fell from his clinging position.

He bit his lip, forced himself to stay awake with pain, and grabbed the windowsill with both hands. He knew that his perception was out of control! Under such a close-range and strong "concept" explosion, the ability of "stealing earrings" was completely stimulated and even overloaded!

He "heard" countless voices (at the logical level):

[It hurts ... It hurts ... Leave me alone ...]

[... don't want to die ... my child ...]

[... darkness ... eternal darkness ...]

[... saw ... the road ... the gap between life and death ...]

[... wrong ... not enough ... need more ... stronger' resonance' ...] (This is Zhou Wenyuan? Or the logic of the device itself? )

[... hey? There is a' noise'? A ... Little eavesdropper? A cold, curious "consciousness" seems to have sensed the existence of Chen Mo! Is it the "consciousness" of the "ghost eye"? Or did Zhou Wenyuan perceive it through the device? )

The last sweep of "consciousness" made Chen Mo fall into an ice cave! He's been found!

Almost at the same time, there was a shrill alarm inside the warehouse! The light turns to flashing red in an instant! The light of the central device also began to shrink sharply and stabilize, as if the experiment was forcibly interrupted or entered some kind of protection mode.

"There are intruders! In the back window of the warehouse! " There was a cry from the security guard in the intercom (Chen Mo's ear nail captured the information of air vibration transformation)!

Footsteps and flashlights quickly gathered towards the back of the warehouse!

Chen Mo know, must evacuate immediately! He choked back the pain and buzz in his mind, let go of his hand and slipped down from the window sill. When he landed, he stumbled and almost fell. The rain hit my face coldly and awakened a little bit of sanity.

He didn't dare to stop at all, and ran along the route when he came, with the help of containers and rain curtains! Behind him, there has been the cry of security guards and the footsteps of chasing, and the flashlight beam is shooting at random in the rainy night.

Adrenaline soared again, overwhelming physical pain and mental confusion. Chen Mo, like a frightened rabbit, shuttles, changes direction and hides in the labyrinthine dock yard. He is familiar with the terrain here (thanks to previous observations and maps), and he can always avoid the pursuers in a dangerous way.

But it's not just ordinary security guards who are chasing. Soon, Chen Mo felt that a cold, swift, poisonous snake-like smell was approaching quickly from the shadows! It's that shadow power! Zhou Wenyuan's people, or the shadow creation he manipulated, are coming!

Chen Mo heart sank, knowing that ordinary hiding was useless. He must leave the dock area at once!

He ran in the direction of the fence outside the dock. There is a relatively low place where waste tires are piled up, which is a potential exit he observed in advance.

The shadow behind him is getting closer and closer, and I can almost feel the biting chill sticking to my back!

Just as Chen Mo was about to rush under the fence, two dark, liquid-like spears of shadows suddenly shot out of the darkness on the left and right sides, blocking his route of advance and evasion!

It's inevitable!

Chen Mo's eyes flashed with folded positions, and the light Bi that has been held in his hand instantly pops up the light blade! He didn't try to block the attack on both sides (too late), but concentrated all his strength on the front, and the smooth blade slammed at the waste tires piled up under the wall!

"Boom!"

The blazing light blade cut on the wet rubber, causing a not-so-violent explosion and smoke! Fire and smoke temporarily obscured the line of sight and interfered with the locking of the spear of shadow.

Chen Mo took the opportunity, exhausted all his strength, jumped, stepped on the tire pile that had been blown loose, grabbed the top of the fence with his hands, pulled himself up and turned it up!

Just as his body crossed the fence, a spear of shadow brushed his ankle, bringing up a piece of blood and a cold numbness!

With a snort of stuffy, Chen Mo slammed on the mud outside the fence, got up and ran forward without considering the pain and erosion of his ankle, and plunged into an unfinished building area under construction outside the dock, full of building materials and weeds.

The pursuer behind him seems to be temporarily blocked by walls and complex terrain, but the cold sense of locking has not disappeared.

Chen Mo was running hard in the uncompleted residential flats, his lungs seemed to explode, and there was tearing pain and cold erosion from the ankle wound. The overload reaction of the ear nail has not subsided, and my mind is filled with the painful screams of the experimental field and the cold gaze of the "ghost eye".

He must get rid of his pursuers and find a place where he can temporarily hide and treat his wounds.

Deep in the unfinished building, it was dark. Chen Mo groped his way into a half-collapsed room full of cement bags, covered himself up with broken templates and sundries, and at the same time took out pieces of ancient mirrors and stuck them to the ankle wound.

The familiar purification process began again, but this time, Chen Mo could feel that the ancient mirror fragments seemed to "absorb" the painful logic leaked from the experimental field, and became restless and unstable.

While dealing with the wound, he "listened" to the outside warily.

The rain is getting smaller. There was a dead silence in the unfinished building. The movement of pursuers seems to be far away.

But Chen Mo knew that Zhou Wenyuan would never let it go. He saw something he shouldn't have seen-the human experimental field, the crazy "ghost eye" experiment. This has touched the core secret of the other party.

From now on, he and Zhou Wenyuan, as well as the forces behind the "other side gallery", will be an endless situation.

In his hand, there is only an ear nail with deep erosion, a few pieces of restless ancient mirrors, a light dagger with little energy left, and a just-confirmed, heinous truth.

The road ahead is getting darker and more dangerous.
