More than ten minutes after Chen Chen threw out the Rubik's Cube, Chen Chen saw the black vortex in front of him began to shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the black vortex collapsed into a ball.
Then, with a "poof", like an extinguished flame, it completely disappeared from Chen Chen's sight.
Chen Chen knew that this was Little X's response to him.
He did not let these Black Knights or Yoru Kamidera return to reality because Chen Chen was not even sure whether these brainless clones would be infected by the mysterious phenomenon. If they were infected, once they returned to reality, they would only bring a special "infectious disease" that had no cure to it.
Once this "infectious disease" broke out, it would only bring destruction to the world, just like the world of Gantz.
Therefore, the only thing Chen Chen could do was to completely isolate himself and the others from reality.
Of course, Chen Chen would not just sit around and wait for death. Otherwise, he would not have asked Little X to prepare a Faraday cage.
He only hoped that Little X could act faster.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen raised his head. At this time, the sun had begun to set in the west, dyeing the endless sunset red on the horizon. At first glance, it looked like endless clouds of fire, burning the entire sky red.
At this moment, at this moment, the abandoned city, the fallen civilization, and the burning clouds in the sky, these three reflected each other at this moment, giving Chen Chen a special kind of loneliness.
It was as if he had been abandoned by the world.
However, as the visibility became lower and lower, the ominous feeling in Chen Chen's heart began to grow.
He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. He was like a prisoner on death row facing trial. Any sound of footsteps would cause him to shudder with fear, because he had already realized that it was the footsteps of the Grim Reaper.
At this time, Chen Chen was feeling the same.
"Yoru Kamidera."
At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly spoke and asked the young man beside him, "Have you heard of the sound of impact coming from next door?"
"Is that... Some kind of mysterious phenomenon?"
Yoru Kamidera, who was also faintly uneasy next to him, suddenly raised his head. He seemed to understand something. "Please continue."
"During the day yesterday, I entered a strange room. There was a woman in the room, but she was already dead. She hanged herself to death."
Chen Chen said quietly, "But what's strange is that there are marks left by a baseball bat on the wall of her bedroom. It seems that she used a baseball bat to hit the wall when she was alive."
"What's on the other side of that wall?"
Yoru Kamidera took advantage of Chen Chen's pause to ask quickly.
There was a flash of approval in Chen Chen's eyes. Sure enough, he was a young man who had survived from the end of the world until now. He had only talked about the beginning and he was already keenly aware of the most crucial condition?
With this in mind, Chen Chen immediately replied, "There's another house on the other side of the bedroom wall. I've also entered that house, but there's a lot of dust over there. It seems that it was uninhabited when the apocalypse came, but..."
Chen Chen lowered his voice. "However, I saw traces of an impact on the wall of this house. The impact mark has sunk into a small part of the wall. In other words, something is constantly hitting the wall as if it's trying to break through the wall."
"What if we change rooms?" Yoru Kamidera asked again.
"At that time, the woman did change to a different bedroom, but the new bedroom is the same. There's still the sound of the impact coming from the other side of the wall."
Chen Chen replied, "Not only that, I also found some oil stains on the wall of this bedroom. It seems that the woman often lay on the same spot on the wall when she was alive, eavesdropping on the other side with one ear."
Yoru Kamidera's expression flickered when he heard this. "I understand, I think that's the case."
"The woman lived alone in that room when she was alive, but one day, she suddenly heard a faint sound of impact on the other side of the wall. At first, she thought that there was someone in the opposite room, but because this is the end of the world, there's no law or morality, so she couldn't determine whether the other party was friend or foe. She could only keep her ear on the wall, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation on the other side.
"But gradually, she noticed that something was wrong."
Yoru Kamidera paced slowly and said as he walked, "Maybe there's something special about this impact, such as a particularly long duration or a particularly uniform rhythm or something. Gradually, the woman began to suspect that the impact on the other side of the wall was from a person? Or was it something else...
"As time went by, the impact continued to sound, even to the point where it echoed day and night. Finally, the woman broke down."
Yoru Kamidera continued. "The sound seriously affected her sleep and at the same time, it made her shudder. At this time, she vaguely understood that the sound was not made by a human, but by the thing that she feared the most...
"So, she finally broke down and began to take out a baseball bat and hit the wall here and there, constantly venting the fear in her heart. It seemed that as long as she showed her fierce side, the other party would retreat. This is a common psychology when humans are afraid.
"After that, she tried countless possibilities, but in the end, she couldn't find a solution. Or perhaps she had already vaguely understood what would happen after the impact."
At this point, Yoru Kamidera looked at Chen Chen again. "This is all the logic of the woman's actions as well as her emotional journey. In the end, she decided that it was better to end her own life than to die in the hands of mysterious events, suffering endless fear and torture. Am I right?"
After listening to Yoru Kamidera's analysis, Chen Chen immediately applauded. "Very good, it's exactly as I guessed, but I can't guarantee whether it's correct or not."
"I understand now. You must have been infected by this kind of strange phenomenon."
Yoru Kamidera nodded. "I just don't know how you were infected by this mysterious event. If there are more clues, maybe we can find a way to deal with it."
"I don't know either, but I already have some guesses."
Chen Chen thought for a while and pointed to the three Black Knights. "Perhaps the entire room is a kind of curse. As long as you enter, you'll be infected by this' impact 'mysterious event. The reason why I'm the only one infected is that the three people next to me aren't complete humans."
"Not complete humans?"
Hearing Chen Chen's words, Yoru Kamidera could not help but be taken aback and then said, "I've long felt that these three people are a little too rigid, but I don't understand what it means by not complete humans. Are they clones?"
"Not only are they clones, but because they've undergone special treatment from the embryonic stage, these people actually don't have a brain."
Chen Chen explained, "And the reason these people are acting as usual is that they're being controlled by the X-112 artificial intelligence I've been talking to."
"But that doesn't make sense."
When Yoru Kamidera heard the identities of the three people, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he soon shook his head. "I think it's more likely that there are other conditions for infection. You're the only one who triggered this condition and got infected with this strange phenomenon called 'Crash'."
Chen Chen nodded in agreement. "Anything else?"
