85 Phantom
Jiang Chen's eyes kept exploring the surroundings as if he was looking for something.
"Achen..."
Kiana's voice came over. Jiang Chen heard Kiana's voice and said doubtfully:
"What's the matter, sister?"
"Achen, are you still worried about Nan Mu? I believe Nan Mu is still alive. She must be hiding in a corner waiting for us to rescue her."
Jiang Chen heard Kiana's words and knew that Kiana was comforting him, so he smiled and said:
"Yeah, sister Nanmu will be fine. We will definitely find sister Nanmu."
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a look of worry, and soon the worry disappeared and was replaced by a look of strength.
"We've been lingering here for too long. It's better for us to start the mission quickly."
"it is good."
In the quiet museum, the sound of chaotic footsteps began to echo.
Deep underground, unseen, the hospitable "employees" have also prepared their welcome ceremony.
Jiang Chen and the others took the elevator to the Undersea Museum. This museum was built on the bottom of the sea, nearly tens of thousands of meters above the sea surface. The water pressure above is enough to crush an ordinary person into a meat pie.
When they arrived at the museum, Jiang Chen found that the museum was very messy, and the Honkai energy response here was not very high. The cold museum made Jiang Chen and the others feel shuddering.
"Everyone split up and look for any clues here to see if we can find a way. Pay attention to safety."
Following Jiang Chen's order, everyone began to disperse and look for a way down.
Jiang Chen looked around and found that there were signs of fighting here.
"This is?"
Jiang Chen looked at the scratch carefully and found that this scratch looked like an axe, while the other scratch seemed to be a Honkai Beast.
"Sister Nanmu has fought here. Are there any dead warriors or Honkai Beasts here?"
Jiang Chen looked at the waterfall. There was a device next to the waterfall. Jiang Chen discovered that there was a control switch on the device.
"This control switch actually requires a password, which is troublesome."
"Vice Captain Jiang Chen, how is the situation over there? We found traces of a survivor here."
When Jiang Chen heard what the team members said, he immediately came to the place where his teammates found traces of survivors, and found them in a small room.
"This door is closed from the inside, and the Honkai energy response here is very low."
Suddenly a panicked voice came from the room:
"Is there someone outside? Who are you?"
Jiang Chen replied:
"We are the people of destiny, are you the people of 'Collapse of the Holy Religion'?"
The people inside heard Jiang Chen's words and replied:
"It's you! The messenger's words have indeed come true. Has she been reborn?"
When Jiang Chen heard what they said, he silently took out the Judas and looked at them warily.
"Wait... please let us go. We were all deceived. That guy abandoned us and left alone."
Jiang Chen heard what they said and guessed that these guys might have been staying here for a long time.
"Have you seen anyone like us?"
"I saw it, I saw them go down, and I heard the sound of fighting."
"They went down. Where did they go down from?"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, they quickly told Jiang Chen the location, which was behind the waterfall, and told him the password of the control switch.
"Thank you. I'll arrange for someone to take you up in a moment."
"Thank you, sir...thank you, sir."
Jiang Chen went over and entered the password. The water in the waterfall started to stop flowing out, and everyone entered the next level.
"Honkai energy in the air is rising."
Kiana said in shock. The counter on the protective suit emitted the same warning as Kiana, and the value after rising still stayed at a relatively safe position.
A putrid smell wafted out from the depths of the tunnel, and Jiang Chen and the others faintly heard wailing sounds.
Meiyi swung the knife and directly split open the pipe next to the sound. Black and red mud-like things flowed out of the pipe, and these things gave off a fishy smell.
"Let me see what this is..."
A Valkyrie volunteered to check out the thing.
"Ugh, vomit, vomit...what is this..."
The Valkyrie sat down on the ground and kept vomiting. Jiang Chen and the others quickly used flashlights to illuminate the mass.
Jiang Chen and the others felt their stomachs churn when they saw it. These mud-like things actually had human faces. They were wailing in pain and blowing bubbles from their mouths. Their distorted and painful faces made people feel sad. Feeling shuddering.
"Let me give them a ride."
A Valkyrie volunteered to hold a flamethrower. As the corpse burned, the metal objects buried under the flesh were revealed.
"This is?"
Jiang Chen used the ice sword in his hand to easily pick out the metal object.
This seemed to be the nameplate of a Valkyrie, but Jiang Chen was silently relieved when he discovered that the name on the nameplate was not Nan Mu.
"Everyone, be careful, it seems very strange here."
Hearing Jiang Chen's reminder, everyone silently clenched their weapons and looked around cautiously.
"woo woo woo woo……"
From inside where Jiang Chen couldn't see, there was a vague groan.
"Come, come closer, let me take a good look at you."
Involuntarily, Jiang Chen walked towards the direction of the sound.
"Yes, that's it, there are many people besides me...
As long as you get closer, you can see them..."
A voice appeared in Jiang Chen's mind:
"Those who hold the thought of being able to see the dead tend to die faster."
The biting chill brought Jiang Chen back from his chaotic consciousness, and the surrounding scenery turned into a snowfield with heavy snow at some point.
A voice came over:
"Why come here?"
Jiang Chen subconsciously said:
"To save people.
Is this... my memory? "
Looking at Nan Mu in front of him, Jiang Chen closed his eyes, but Nan Mu continued to speak:
"Do you like snow?"
When Jiang Chen thought of Xue, he remembered the days when he came to this world and spent time with Kiana Siegfried.
“Attachment to the living can lead people to make wrong choices and cause irreparable sacrifices.
Facing the emotions of the deceased can make people weak, whether they are fearful or missing. Only by facing death without any trouble can we deal with those monsters who are not afraid of life and death. "
Jiang Chen heard Nan Mu's words and said:
"But in this way we also become 'monsters'."
"Only monsters can fight monsters."
"There must be other ways."
"Achen..."
Nan Mu's voice had a rare coldness, and Jiang Chen then remembered that Nan Mu took the initiative to kill his teammates who had been eroded by Honkai because of his hesitation.
"We should get used to separation. No matter what happens in the future, who else will you kill."
Jiang Chen heard Nan Mu's words and said in a low tone:
"Including you?"
"Yes, if I am corrupted by Honkai, just kill me."
Jiang Chen felt his consciousness blur for a while, and Nan Mu's voice also began to be blurry.
"Please……"
