The fifth floor of the lower city had completely abandoned the light.
If the sixth floor, where Red was, still had a few hours of light, the fifth floor had completely lost all light.
Lin Jie could clearly see that instead of saying that the people here had excellent night vision, it would be more accurate to say that they had no eyes at all. Their long tongues stuck out like snakes and quickly sucked in, sensing the surrounding temperature and humidity.
Lin Jie quickly gave Red a stronger night vision, and at the same time changed some of her cognitive concepts, making her think that there was no difference between here and the sixth floor.
Lin Jie pointed down and motioned for her to continue.
Red looked around and felt relieved. Everyone said that the deeper they went, the scarier it would be, but now it seemed that it was okay.
Red nodded to Lin Jie and went down under the "gaze" of the mutated people on the fifth floor.
As a guide, Red took the lead and walked forward. She even had the feeling that she wanted to protect Lin Jie. Lin Jie thought it was funny and kept following her.
"Boss Lin!"
Red shouted Lin Jie's name in surprise. Before this, the two had exchanged names, but Lin Jie called her "Boss Lin" casually.
In the underground where Red was, there was no trade and shops at all. Naturally, there was no such word as "boss". Remember the website: m.9biquge.com.
She really thought that Lin Jie's real name was "Boss Lin".
Lin Jie almost locked all his power and looked at the entire lower city with the identity of an ordinary human "Lin Jie".
She heard a lot of surprise from Red's tone, so she went down the 90-degree vertical stairs and looked at the surprised Red.
"Boss Lin! There is no one here! "Red said excitedly.
On the bumpy road, in the tunnel that extended in all directions, even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
Perhaps the pollution on the fourth floor was enough, so there were not many people here.
Red could make a lot of money here. She carried her hoe excitedly.
"Let's dig quickly and bring the ore up." After that, Red went through the tunnel. For her, these shiny red stones were the source of her life.
Lin Jie followed her closely.
Red happily shouted for them to dig faster, while Lin Jie squatted aside with his hands in his hands.
She got tired halfway through digging. As a little girl, it was already good enough that she could bring a whole piece up.
After all, her monthly mission was to collect five precious ores.
After digging for a long time, she leaned on the shovel and looked at Lin Jie, who was sitting beside her leisurely. She couldn't help but ask, "What's the world above like?"
Lin Jie crouched on the side and rested his chin on his hand, replying, "You'll have to figure out a way to go up and take a look one day."
"Go up? How is that possible?" Red sat on the ore and hugged her knees. She pouted and stuttered, "I'll never be able to go up there in my lifetime."
She grumbled, then cried as she picked up the hoe. Lin Jie quietly listened to her cries and stood by the side, watching her small body continuously digging the ores.
A crisp sound indicated that a piece of ore had fallen, and she finally stopped crying.
But the sound was a little too clear — Generally, after the ore was dug out, it had to be taken back and carefully polished to reveal its shape.
But this stone seemed to have been polished.
Lin Jie frowned and heard a hoarse voice with Red, like an evil spirit —
"Don't take my ore …"
Red held the ore tightly, with a look of horror on her face. It was dark all around. Even if Red was endowed with strong night vision, what she saw was actually colorless and gray.
Because there was no trace of light at all.
Boom —
Suddenly, the rock layer under her feet moved.
An extremely distorted face of the lower city showed up. To be exact, it was not a person, but the faces of countless people like Siamese twins.
Red fell to the ground. She found that the fourth floor was not empty, but there were people everywhere.
It was just that they were all like reconstituted bodies that had been melted into meat paste and cooled down.
They, or rather, they were already another kind of creature, a kind of fusion …
Red's throat was panting in fear, and she could not even roar loudly.
Lin Jie frowned. It was obvious that they were obsessed with mining and had been contaminated to the point of fusion. At the same time, they ate ores every day to survive. They were indeed not human.
They were now like a layer of cushions on the ground of the entire fourth floor. Every face on the ground began to move, as if they were waking up. The scene suddenly became very mentally polluted.
Red was frightened, and only now did she let out a scream.
The monsters stretched out their hands, wanting to pull Red into them and become a part of them.
Lin Jie released his power at this moment — Since entering the lower city, he had been determined not to use his power, in order to maintain the belief of being human under such strong pollution.
But at this moment, he, who had released his power, heard countless sorrowful cries from the gray fog —
They wrapped Lin Jie like fog, and at the same time, they kept praying, praying for Lin Jie to return as the Son of God.
He was God, the Son of God, and also a divine spirit.
He looked at the endless well, which was like an abyss. It was the opposite of Red. Red's hometown was above, and Lin Jie's hometown was below.
Red's scream was hoarse. Lin Jie regained his senses after hearing her scream. He grabbed Red who was beginning to melt into the flesh, picked her up, and jumped into the endless well.
The feeling of falling did not last long. The surrounding gray fog saw him jump into the bottom of the well, and they cheered, but Lin Jie heard a cry for help among these happy cheers.
This cry for help was very familiar. Lin Jie suddenly raised his hand, and while falling, he grabbed the stairs that led downwards, holding Red's collar and hanging on the stairs.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next second —
"You …"
Lin Jie and Red suddenly heard someone talking behind them.
They immediately turned around, thinking that they would see some monsters again, but in fact, it was a few people from the lower city who looked similar to Red.
"Did you fall from above?" The person standing at the front with a shovel suddenly asked.
Red's face was still numb when she saw this. Obviously, she was scared out of her wits by the monster above. Lin Jie touched her head, and in the next second, her expression became lively as if she had regained her soul.
She began to gasp for breath, showing a terrified expression.
"Oh, I know, you must have seen the monster on the fourth floor, right?" The man in the black cloak on the third floor guessed.
Lin Jie raised his hand and threw Red to the ground on the third floor. Lin Jie looked down at the bottom of the well again, and with a kick, he landed on the ground lightly.
Red swallowed a few times, and nodded vigorously.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just wanted to take the risk and look for some ore," Red said with a choked voice.
"Ore?" The man in the black cloak stroked the long tentacles under his chin, and said, "Of course, we have an endless amount of ore here, you can take as much as you want."
Red's crimson eyes lit up, as if the bitterness was over. She sat on the ground like a pool of liquid, ecstatic. "Boss Lin, did you hear that? We've finally succeeded. We're going to have ores soon."
Lin Jie ignored Red and crossed his arms. He had already used Mind Rewriting to make the people around him think that he was the same kind, and from their point of view, he was also a guy with tentacles under his chin and skin like a crocodile.
"That's strange," Lin Jie stroked his chin, and said doubtfully, "It's clearly closer to the underground, and the fourth floor has already been polluted to such a degree, but you guys are still the same as the people on the sixth or seventh floor."
"Are you guys immune to the pollution?" Lin Jie asked … And the third floor is the territory of the Church of Plague, right?
"Hmph." The man in the black cloak lowered his head, the brim of his hat covering half of his face, and he mocked, "Ignorant upper-class people, you call the gray fog pollution?"
His voice was full of righteousness, and he looked at the gray fog that was spreading even more heavily on the fourth floor, and said:
"That's a gift from God!"
As he said that, he suddenly took out a book from his bag, the book was written "Dream of Chaos", and the cover was exactly the same as the book he saw in the Village of Darkness.
