Blood red light filled the entire screen. Not long after, the light faded away and two figures collapsed in the middle of the circle.
About half a minute later, a blonde figure stood up first.
"How did this happen … How did this happen? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! "
Several seconds later, Arthur also got up from the ground. From his appearance, he looked normal. But at that moment, Arthur's eyes were glazed over. He looked at his brother in front of him and said nothing.
"How … How did this happen?" Andrew screamed. "The circle can't be wrong. We should have succeeded. How did I … Ah …" The pain on his body exploded. It was far beyond what a normal person could endure.
Hearing the hoarse roar, Arthur seemed to have just come back to his senses. He quickly stepped forward and knocked Andrew unconscious. Actually, even if he didn't do that, Andrew would have fainted from the pain.
"Haa … Haa …" Arthur's body seemed to be in a bad condition as well. The simple movement just now had exhausted him and made him gasp for breath. But compared to Andrew, his pain was nothing. At least his body didn't show any signs of zombification.
Arthur stood there, his eyes filled with uncertainty. Obviously, he was thinking …
About a minute later, Arthur walked to the unconscious Andrew. He lifted his upper body so that his back was facing him. Then he put his hands under Andrew's armpits and dragged him out of the room.
…
"The two brothers wanted to work together to create something … but they failed in the end?" When Feng Bujue saw the cinematic, this thought popped up in his mind. "Could it be that they wanted to revive their mother?" He thought. "But this video should explain the few sentences that Arthur repeated at the beginning … 'Don't worry … Everything will be fine … Something must have gone wrong … I will find a way …' He was not only saying those words to his unconscious brother but also to himself."
Brother Jue scratched his chin and thought about it. "Looks like the reason 'I' ended up in this state is not because Arthur turned evil and turned Andrew into a test subject or something like that. It is due to a failure during one of his experiments. And Arthur temporarily locked me up in Cell 0 to find a way to save me … "
"Hmm … Looks like the plot is starting to surface." He thought as he walked into the room. "In any case, let's find the gray key first."
Who would have thought, the next second, something happened.
Feng Bujue had used the iron rod to test for physical traps in each room. None of them had been found. But for this last room, after watching the cinematic, he was careless … and walked in.
With a series of crackling noises, the floor of the room started to crumble from the magic circle in the middle. Feng Bujue was unable to react in time, and he fell to the ground.
Of course, the moment he fell, other than his body's natural reaction to curl up, Feng Bujue was very calm. His heartbeat was steady, and his mind was very clear.
He had memorized the structure of the room in his mind, so he knew very well that he was in an empty room. He had also estimated the height between the first and second floor. Including the space between the floor and the floor, it was no more than four meters. With his current physical condition, other than landing on his face and snapping his neck, he could fall into any other position. After all, he was at full health, so he would not die from the fall.
In less than two seconds, the fall stopped. He did not die from the fall, but the oil lamp was broken …
"Fine, this is the right time." Feng Bujue sat in the dark. He was surrounded by the debris and debris from the second floor. Even if the key was right in front of him, he would not have noticed it.
"By the way, where did Arthur go after he locked me in Cell 0? He didn't show up even though there was such a big commotion." Feng Bujue observed his Life Points. It had only dropped by fifteen percent, which was within his expectations.
He stood up and used his hands to pat the dust off his body. To his surprise, he only patted twice when he heard a tinkling sound.
"No way …" Feng Bujue's lips twitched. He bent down and reached for the source of the sound.
Item Name: Gray Key
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Unlocks the gray iron door permanently. Disappears after use.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
[Remark: It fell out of a broken kerosene lamp and landed on a guy covered in dust.]
"Haha," Feng Bujue uttered two words that seemed to carry a deeper meaning.
Several seconds after the key entered his hand, the system said, "A door appears to have been opened."
"Fine … Now that I've lost my light source, I guess I'll have to go back underground," Feng Bujue grumbled as he took out the iron rod.
The room itself was empty, so all he had to do was stick out the iron rod and wait for the iron rod to touch the wall. Then, he would be able to find the door by following the wall for a few meters.
After a dozen seconds, he found the location of the door using this method. Then, he walked over.
After confirming his location, the rest was easy because he had the layout of the room in his mind. The length of the corridor and how many steps it would take to walk through it were all familiar to him.
Humans were born with the fear of the dark. The shrinking of the visual field meant the expansion of the unknown, and a person's alertness would increase as the amount of information they had access to decreased. Thus, their 'self-preservation instinct' would be maintained at a certain level.
To put it simply, human's fear of the dark came from the psychological need to maintain the 'self-preservation instinct'. Fear would cause people to pay attention to the small and superficial information that leaked out from the dark.
However, Feng Bujue had no fear, and he did not need to rely on the positive or negative effects brought by fear.
With his memory of the surrounding environment and his excellent imagination, he could see the path in front of him despite the darkness in front of him.
In just a minute, he found the storage room. After pushing the door open, he walked straight to the door that led to 1F underground.
At that moment, the restriction of the system had been unlocked. Feng Bujue turned the doorknob and easily opened the door. The light from the underground corridor lit up his vision again.
When Feng Bujue walked down the stairs, he took out all six keys from his pocket and held them in his hand.
The two doors that were closer to the stairs were a blue door and a black door. Feng Bujue chose the blue door first. After the lock was opened, the key disappeared. He tried to push the door open, but he heard a notification saying, "The red iron door has not been opened."
"Oh … I need to follow the order, huh?" Seeing that, Feng Bujue decided to unlock all six doors first.
One minute later, when he used the last key, the system notification said, "Current mission completed. Main mission updated."
The mission, "Explore 1F underground and find the red, yellow, blue, black, white, and gray keys, return to 1F underground to open the six iron doors," was ticked, and the new mission read, "Explore the six rooms in 1F underground in the order of red, yellow, blue, black, white, and gray."
"Okay, let me see what you two brothers are up to." Feng Bujue walked to the red iron door, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed it in.
He stood at the door and looked around. The interior of the room was also red. The whole room was covered in a red light, but there was no light source.
Feng Bujue took out the iron rod to test it, but just as he reached the rusty rod into the room, an arm reached out from the side of the door, grabbed the rod, and yanked it into the room.
Feng Bujue was caught off guard. To prevent himself from being dragged into the room, he quickly let go.
It should be noted that Brother Jue's hands were equipped with both equipment and apparel. The equipment was the Spiderweb Gloves, and the apparel was a pair of dark-colored leather gloves. Normally, he would show his hands as bare hands, but if he needed gloves, he would show apparel instead of equipment. If there was a reason, it would be because he thought the appearance of the Spiderweb Gloves was too ugly …
But no matter how it looks, as long as the Spiderweb Gloves are equipped, they will naturally come into play. As for the use of this pair of gloves … Let's not talk about that ordinary defense. As for its special effect, I'll help everyone recall. There are a total of five words — — it can stick to objects.
Because of this small difference, Feng Bujue's action of letting go did not help him escape misfortune. When he was two steps away from the door, he was dragged into the room by the iron rod …
Feng Bujue's ability to adapt was very good. When he staggered and had not found his footing, he had already activated Body Enhancement Spell and taken out the wrench. The sudden increase in physical power gave him the room to adjust his body.
Feng Bujue used the momentum to leap forward. With one hand on the ground, he somersaulted forward to create some distance from the unknown enemy hiding by the door. He was now facing the enemy head-on.
He thought it was another synthetic monster, but when he looked closer, he realized the enemy was also a human.
It was a man in his early thirties, wearing what seemed to be a military uniform. His right arm, which was the arm that grabbed the iron bar, was actually a metal arm.
When the man saw Feng Bujue, his expression shifted, and he hissed, "You monster … You're here to kill me, right? I'm not going to … "
"Wait!" Feng Bujue reached out his hand. "I don't want to fight you." He looked at the iron rod that had been snapped in half and thought, This man's fighting ability is off the charts. The mechanical arm is obviously harder than my wrench.
"Humph … You don't want to fight me?" The man scoffed and leaped forward. "You've got to be kidding me! Do you think I'll believe you? "
Even though he said that, Feng Bujue did not deactivate Body Enhancement Spell. Seeing the man charge at him, he had no choice but to fight.
