Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 922
"Okay, this is fair."
Jenkins replied, and immediately, the ghost rejoiced as if it had received a gift.
Although the ghost nurse looks a little abnormal in her brain, at least she is very friendly and willing to answer Jenkins’ questions.
What she asked for Jenkins was to defeat the monster hiding in the third floor of the hospital. Jenkins doesn't have to worry about admitting his mistake. Although there are many monsters hiding in the hospital, there is only one on the third floor.
"Because it is very powerful, so other things dare not go to the third floor."
Ghost explained it this way.
Regarding the reason for the hospital’s abandonment, the nurses don’t know much about the details. They only know the day the hospital was abandoned. But in the conversation, even if Jenkins did not take the initiative to ask, the ghost unwittingly revealed the most terrifying truth about the town:
"The most terrifying thing in this town is, of course, the townspeople. Except for outsiders like me, who stay in the town to hold certain positions, the aborigines of the town are the targets this town wants to seal."
Speaking of this, the ghost is as casual as if he talked about the content of dinner:
"Each townsman has quite terrifying power. Although they look like human beings, in fact, they are part of a kind of ancient evil that I don’t know the name. They form a whole together. They are affected by someone very powerful. Existence is sealed at the intersection of chaotic time and space, which is here. At the same time, in order to suppress their power, the town will regularly draw'blood' from the material world to satisfy their desires. The town’s hospital provides the so-called Blood therapy continues to weaken their power."
"But now the hospital is abandoned."
"Yes, but so what? After so many years, the townspeople and the town have long been integrated. What they can't get away, they don't want to get away, so blood therapy has lost its meaning. Unless there is a madman directly crushing it. The town, otherwise there will be peace forever until all things die..."
Hearing this sentence, Jenkins had some bad ideas in his mind. The differential engine can definitely be considered a lunatic, and if the other party knows the truth here, there is a high probability that it will use its own power to find a way to defeat him.
Chapter 2141 Blood Treatment Hospital
It was something Jenkins did not expect to learn the truth about the town so simply. But he didn't want to know what was going on here, so he only briefly talked with the ghost a few more words. Without going into the truth of the town, he set out with anxiety in his heart.
Different from the maze-like shadow castle that was like a maze not long ago, the town’s hospital was only built in the shape of an ordinary hospital, so as long as you find the stairs, you can directly reach the third floor.
But the journey was not smooth. The ghost nurse hasn't left the hall for a long time, so I don't know if there are other monsters occupying the corridors and stairs. Before Jenkins set off, she also worriedly reminded Jenkins that if she accidentally died, she must ensure the integrity of her soul:
"You can also live here. I have been alone here for a long time. If you are also willing to live on the first floor of the hospital, I can help you find a good place to live."
She probably has been lonely for a long time.
The corridor on the first floor was covered with dry dust, and there was a terrible smell of corpses in the air. Jenkins walked carefully with his candle, and every time he passed a doorway, he had to carefully observe before daring to pass. But fortunately, you don't need to throw dice when you travel in the hospital, so you can move forward much faster than from outside.
The first trouble encountered was a mummy standing in the middle of the corridor in the crooked corridor shortly after departure. It should be categorized as an undead creature, jumping upwards without any reason.
Jenkins wanted to go around it against the wall, but he didn’t expect that as soon as he approached, the corpse would stop jumping, but instead looked at Jenkins:
"Do you know the meaning of life?"
Jenkins hesitated for a moment. I didn't mention the fact that the mummy has the reason to speak. It is very abnormal for a corpse to ask him the meaning of life as a living person.
"I will tell Alexia from now on."
Thinking in his heart, he replied:
"The meaning of life is warm blood."
When encountering this problem in other places, Jenkins will still talk about a few philosophies, but in this confusing situation, the answer is obviously the only one.
"So, it's warm blood, so I can't find the meaning of life..."
The corpse lowered his head and said, Jenkins was nervously preparing to fight. He thought the other party would say "I want your blood", but the corpse didn't have it. Instead, he lowered his head and stopped moving.
So while staring at the opponent to prevent the battle from happening suddenly, he walked against the dirty wall. When the two were level and level in the corridor, the mummy finally spoke again:
"Can I still find the meaning of life?"
"It's hard to say, but why don't you look for it outside the hospital? Just stay here, there is no result. You can go to the nearby blacksmith shop and ask, the blacksmith seems to be a very intelligent person."
He kindly proposed.
"this is a good idea."
The corpse said he was about to walk, but as soon as it shook, his left arm fell on the ground. The corpse and people stared at the shriveled arm. No one said anything. After a long time, the corpse asked:
"Am I dead long ago."
Generally speaking, the answer to this question will lead to whether or not to start fighting next. Jenkins didn't know how to choose, so he nodded based on the principle of not lying.
The mummy who got the answer sighed, and fell to the floor after a few seconds of stillness, arousing a flurry of dust. It remained motionless, completely lost its mobility, and completely turned into a real corpse. In a sense, the mummy who spoke just now is dead.
"What do you mean? I'm crazy."
Jenkins said in his heart, and then cautiously, passing by the corpse on tiptoes, without even going to find whether the other party left any valuable relics.
There are indeed many dangers in the hospital. In addition to the corpse blocking the road, occasionally some creatures that are difficult to name according to their images sprang out of the rooms on both sides of the corridor. A small number of them were not interested in Jenkins, but most of them launched a charge on Jenkins.
Their power is not particularly strong, and ordinary gifters above level 5 can deal with it. But every monster has unique abilities, which are all related to blood. Their blood-colored bodies have changed severely, and when they manipulate blood, they can even affect Jenkins himself.
The sequelae of Jenkins injecting too much blood in the town have already emerged. In this case, once he directly encounters the metal scarlet mayfly, his body may be directly alienated.
The first floor was blocked by monsters, and the stairs leading to the upper floor were directly broken. With Jenkins’ physical fitness, it’s okay to climb up directly, but the problem is that there is a red-brown fungus blanket connected to the break of the stairs on the first and second floors. This layer of fungus blanket is not afraid of fire, and can digest any flesh and blood that touches it.
Jenkins didn't dare to take risks, so he could only continue walking along the corridor on the first floor and found the stairs on the other side of the hospital to go up. As soon as I came to the second floor from the stairs, I felt the cold wind coming from the depths of the corridor. Jenkins had been in contact with the power of ice and snow. At this moment, I could feel that on the second floor, there is definitely a creature that is extremely good at manipulating the power of ice.
Fortunately, his goal is not the second floor, so he continued to climb up the stairs and finally came to the darker third floor.
The first floor of the hospital is the area of blood monsters, the second floor is cold and freezing, and the third floor is completely dark. Even the gift candle that incorporates a large number of special items has its light suppressed by darkness, and dark vision has completely lost its effect here.
Ghost nurse said that the monsters that occupy the entire third floor are also part of the town’s own suppression of creatures. It originally lived in an empty house on the edge of the town. After the town hospital was abandoned, it fled to the hospital to occupy it.
The ghost nurse didn't have much information about it, and this thing didn't cause damage when it came to the hospital. But occupying the third floor of the hospital itself hinders many functions of the hospital. Even if the original hospital is abandoned, it can occasionally perform blood therapy once or twice, or provide some convenience for outsiders. But now the third floor is completely unusable, and the ghost nurse can't take out the conveniences that are beneficial to Jenkins. She didn't even take out the transaction cardboard when Jenkins entered the hospital.
"What could it be?"
thought in his heart, holding a candle against the wall and stepping forward step by step, his energy tense to the extreme.
A huge eyeball appeared on the ceiling in front of , and the pupil reflected the light of the candle, allowing Jenkins to see himself clearly in the opponent's eyes.
Chapter 2142: Scarlet Cocoon
While seeing Jenkins with his eyes, Jenkins also saw each other. Almost without thinking, he jerked his knees and slammed his fist into the eyes on the ceiling, but the eyes disappeared before Jenkins hit it. Only Jenkins hit the ceiling, making a dull noise and letting the dust fall. .
After he landed on the ground, he ignored the dust and immediately illuminated it with candles, but there was nothing in the narrow area that could be illuminated. His ears moved lightly and heard the sound of Xixi Suosuo, and then he turned to look at the wall behind him abruptly.
Under the firelight of the candle being suppressed, the wall was normal, except for a little dirty, it was not an enemy in Jenkins's imagination. But his nose moved. Even though his sense of smell is not as sensitive as chocolate, Jenkins's sense of smell is worse than most dogs.
"Why is there a smell of fresh blood on the wall?"
He stretched out his finger and tapped on the wall, but he didn't feel anything wrong. So he continued to walk forward, looking at the wall beside him, the smell of fresh blood on the wall always existed, as if before Jenkins illuminated a certain area around him, this area was originally covered with heavy blood.
"If so, that would be too bad."
He had a guess in his heart. He looked at the wall beside him on the surface, but suddenly manipulated the flame in the candle's heart to sputter in all directions.
The fire of gift can not illuminate too many areas like the outside world, but at least it enlarges the surrounding light. This also allowed Jenkins to see clearly that in areas that were not originally illuminated by the light, the ceiling, walls, and floor were all wrapped in blood-red flesh, and as the light arrived, those pieces of flesh quickly exited from the light. In the area, there will be dirty walls and floors exposed.
In other words, in fact, the entire third floor of the hospital was surrounded by blood-red flesh. When Jenkins entered, the meat just moved with Jenkins to restore the light area to normal. In fact, the darkness around him was still all the meat.
And the eyes just now are clearly organs formed from the flesh, trying to lure Jenkins to go deeper into the third floor, completely leaving him with nowhere to go.
"What exactly is this?"
The flame enveloped Jenkins's whole body, so that he no longer feared being attacked by those **** flesh. Afterwards, Jenkins temporarily dropped his backpack, took the Star Demon Sword from the metal cocoon, held the sword in one hand, maintained a posture of flames all over his body, and rushed toward the depths of the corridor.
The deeper you go, the more you can feel the depth of the darkness and the richness of the **** smell. A certain twisted power is entrenched here. Even though he has not yet been able to contact the opponent's core, Jenkins has already felt the twisted and chaotic power.
At the same time, because Jenkins's speed was much faster than the retreat speed of those pieces of meat, he finally saw the truth of the **** corridor in a real sense, and saw the strange human organs differentiated from countless squirming pieces of meat, hanging in the corridor, Squirming.
is not just the eyes, those pairs of arms, even dared to touch Jenkins, and then instantly burned to black charcoal, after falling to the ground, it was absorbed by the meat on the floor.
Relying on his own feelings and sensitivity to the spirit, he finally stopped outside the room marked with the number of [Three Treatment Subjects]. The number plate was originally wrapped in meat like the door, but it was revealed after Jenkins stopped, as if it was deliberately shown to Jenkins.
The flame threw forward, burning a big hole in the door in front of him. Stepping on the ground, the meat on the floor spontaneously gave up a path, allowing Jenkins to walk safely into the room.
The room is not dark. On the contrary, the blood-red fleshy pieces that are connected to each other, as well as the dense blood vessels scattered on the wall like steam pipes, are faintly emitting a disturbing dark red light.
In the center of the room is a large blood-red cocoon like a heart. The blood vessels on the third floor converge into the room, and the blood vessels in the whole room converge on the ceiling. The blood vessels hang the heart.
It is shaking slowly. The frequency of vibration was originally very slow, only once every tens of seconds, but after Jenkins stepped into this place, the beating frequency of the heart-shaped cocoon gradually became the same as Jenkins's heart beating frequency.
The sound of 咚咚咚 made Jenkins inevitably have a feeling of chest tightness, but fortunately, it does not affect his health.
The **** taste here is more intense, giving Jenkins the feeling as if he had stuffed his head into the belly of a wild boar that had just been cracked.
The strong smell of blood even made him feel a strange and slightly drunk feeling. The flesh and blood in his body trembled slightly when he saw the heart-shaped cocoon. If it weren't for the nature of his body, under the influence of his soul, he tended to lean more towards plants rather than animals. Jenkins believed that at this time he would even have bleeding red granulation on the surface of his body, which would turn him into a terrible monster.
This is not a joke, the thing in front of me definitely has such ability.
He held the sword and looked at the giant in front of him, but before he did it, his white hand was the first to tear the cocoon from the inside. As the outer skin of the large heart-shaped cocoon was broken apart, Jenkins saw the girl standing in the cocoon.
She is slightly shorter than Jenkins, has fair skin and black hair. She has a nice face, and she can't see her bare feet because the blood cocoon has not been completely broken. Except for the girl's long hair, which covers some key parts, Jenkins's whole body is almost unobstructed.
The blood red light inside the cocoon is more intense, and even the texture of the muscles can be seen clearly by Jenkins. The blood vessels crisscrossed in the cocoon, but they did not entangle the girl.
The girl's white skin was also reflected in red by the red light, which also made the blood-red eyes even more coquettish. She is not completely in contact with the cocoon. Although Jenkins can't see her back from the perspective of the cocoon, judging from the distribution of blood vessels in the cocoon, there are at least six blood vessels connected to the cocoon on the girl's charming shoulder blade.
"what is this?"
Jenkins was slightly surprised and took a step back subconsciously. He wanted to open his mouth, but the other party raised his head and looked at him.
As soon as the blood-red eyes looked at Jenkins's eyes, the purple light in Jenkins's eyes suddenly flashed.
At that moment, Jenkins saw a sea of blood in the opponent's eyes. Due to the influence of the blood injected earlier, his whole body was shaking unconsciously, so he immediately moved his eyes away; the girl in the blood cocoon was there. For an instant, Jenkins seemed to see all the past and the future in her eyes. Those images she couldn't understand made her brain tremble. One-third of the blood vessels in the cocoon burst open at the moment of facing each other, so she too Unconsciously looked away:
"A foreigner."
She said to Jenkins, Jenkins stood still and did not answer her words.
"Foreigner, do you know what you see me? I know you want to leave here. Are you willing to accept my help?"
Although she looks like a human, the girl in the cocoon is not a human in any way she thinks. In Jenkins's perception, compared to humans, she is more similar to the life essence of the Gorefiend larva just seen in the church altar.
"I don't want your help, I want you to leave the third floor of the hospital, otherwise you can try which one of us is better."
He lowered his head and said, listening to the sound of blood flowing in the blood vessels around him, and he felt that the sound was resonating with himself.
"Don't you want to defeat that machine?"
Sure enough, she also knew that Jin Jin had invaded this treacherous difference engine.
"Although I have only seen it from a distance, I can appreciate the nature of its power and know that it wants to transform everything in the world into pure metal machinery. But we all know that it is wrong and absolutely wrong. ....."
Although he did not dare to look at Jenkins again, it did not prevent the eyes of the girl in the cocoon from flowing on Jenkins's body:
"Mechanical eternity is just a dreamlike idea. Flesh and flesh is the most solid foundation of life. Let the blood flow to the whole world, so that everything can be integrated into a whole and constructed into an immortal thing. This is the right thing to do. The path of evolution. The flesh and blood are bitter? No, that is only a part. The spreading flesh and blood and the fusion of the whole consciousness are much stronger than mechanical steel."
Jenkins tried to restrain himself from showing a mocking expression. Of course he did not agree with the remarks of the girl in the cocoon.
In his opinion, the opponent is probably the same kind of person as the differential engine, one pursuing mechanical eternity, and the other pursuing flesh and blood eternity. It’s just that the strength of the girl in the cocoon is not very strong, and she has not encountered an era suitable for the power of "blood", so she can only talk about herself in this dilapidated hospital with the "outsiders" who accidentally broke in. The vast ambitions of the company cannot stand on the threshold of the last step like a differential engine.
"I tell you how to get out of here, you do me a favor. Outsiders, I can give you strength, the power of blood. I smell the power of blood in you, you know this road is far more than what you see ."
Jenkins has the ability of green life type [Blood Source], this ability is rarely used, so it took a while to understand what the other party was referring to.
"How about? Accept my help?"
The girl in the cocoon stretched out her hand at Jenkins. Those white hands were indeed very tempting. Even Jenkins, who thought she was determined, stared at that hand for several seconds before moving away, and decided to stay with her home after leaving the treacherous realm. The girls do some games:
"The help I need now is for you to leave the third floor of the hospital."
Jenkins replied, his tone was firm and normal, and no one could see his thoughts from the last moment.
Hearing what he said, the girl's face immediately became gloomy. Her body is on the third floor of the hospital. At this moment, she didn't step on the bleeding cocoon and directly rushed to Jenkins, and because the gestation process had not actually been completed, she couldn't leave here anyway.
Chapter 2143: The Nurturing of Blood
"Do you have to fight me right?"
The girl's clear voice finally became gloomy.
"It's not that I have to fight you, but that I neither recognize the point of view of the difference engine's'mechanical eternity', nor do I agree with your extreme idea of'eternal flesh and blood.' At such a close distance, can't you still distinguish my life? Is it essential?"
The abundant vitality of Jenkins can hardly be hidden, so when Jenkins appeared, the girl in the cocoon did not suspect that he was something weird.
Listening to what he said at this moment, the girl in the cocoon finally felt more deeply what was standing in front of her. Jenkins has nothing to hide, and the essence of the deep soul is too prominent, so she quickly came to the conclusion:
"Are you a tree?"
"You can think so."
