The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

This is the only way to be safe. The value of the Ark is greater than the "mountain", so it is safest to build the research institute on the "mountain".

Even if it gets out of control, the survivors of the shelter can be transferred to the Ark. The world where "The Mountain" is located is already on the verge of collapse. If the world gets out of control, you can just seize the dream fragments and abandon this world.

As long as the risk is not brought back to "reality", it will not be a threat to Shen Ge.

However, the speculation that the person behind the scenes wanted to use Shen Ge to bring this new type of parasite into "reality" is not entirely tenable.

Because the "Big Whale" was once connected to East Ring Lake, combined with several previous attacks by monsters, it can be inferred that the mysterious monster is likely to have the ability to go to "reality".

Since he could go, why didn't he release the new parasite weirdness in "reality" himself, but went through a big detour and borrowed Shen Ge's hand?
"Master, Master?" An An saw Shen Ge staring at the monsters in a daze and couldn't help but remind him.

Shen Ge thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in and take a look. Come closer to me."

An An and Jing Jing immediately stood beside Shen Ge.

Shen Ge used an invisible barrier to condense a cube that could accommodate three people, and then deployed the "Invisible Mysterious Domain" to block the breath of the three people.

Affected by the "atomization", the three successfully passed through the stairwell and entered the "crowded" corridor.

If the entire space formed by the invisible barrier had not been shrouded in white mist, An An would have been frightened to death when passing by those disgusting and terrifying monsters.

Shen Ge entered here mainly to check out the differences between the environment above the tenth floor and the "tower" he had visited before.

At first, An An and Jing Jing were a little nervous, but they immediately felt relieved after they found out that the monsters couldn't see them at all.

Shen Ge opened the doors along the way to check. The doors on both sides of the corridor were less than ten meters apart, and the rooms inside were not big, only about a dozen square meters.

The room is furnished with beds, wardrobes and other furniture. It looks like an ordinary staff dormitory. And from the messy environment, it can be seen that there are people living there. They should be the "tower staff" who have turned into monsters in the corridor.

When I came to the room at the end, the sign on the door said Material Storage Room.

The space behind the door is very large, about one or two hundred square meters, filled with various experimental equipment and storage boxes, as well as several empty culture tanks.

The culture tanks are all brand new, and judging from the models, they are the more commonly used models in the several underground laboratories that Shen Ge has visited before.

There is a tightly closed metal hatch at the end of the storage room. There is no trace of weirdness or strange people here, so he switches the "Invisible Weird Domain" to the "Invisible Weird Domain" and uses "Collapse" to lead the two sisters through the hatch.

Behind the door was a sci-fi metal corridor, at the end of which were the elevator and stairwell, but the elevators all had red lights on and could not be used.

There are no stairs going down in the stairwell, only up.

After going up, we came to an experimental area. Judging from the floor diagram at the entrance, from here to the fifteenth floor are all experimental areas.

"Master, master, the bugs in these jars seem to be still alive!" An An noticed the experimental jars placed in the corner, and noticed that the bugs inside seemed to crawl a little.

Shen Ge controlled the rotten blood tentacle to roll up a worm and take a look at it, while Xiao Qi directly controlled the rotten blood tentacle to open the jar and caught a thumb-long worm for data analysis.

"Master, these insects are similar to the samples found in Rongshan Mental Hospital. They are relatively traditional parasitic monsters." The "traditional parasitic monsters" that Xiaoqi mentioned are the first batch discovered. They have a slow parasitic speed and a long alienation time.

According to the experimental reports found at the time, it usually takes three to five months to complete the basic parasitism and begin the gradual alienation.

And the chance of alienation getting out of control is very high, which is why the most common creatures in the early days were not monsters, but parasites whose heads exploded and grew bloody, fleshy and human-eating petals.

Shen Ge and Xiao Qi checked the cabinets one by one and found that the parasitic and strange samples stored in them had gradually evolved from the earliest "traditional" types to advanced varieties. In addition, there were several cabinets containing some weird samples that were undergoing alienation after completing the parasitism.

The largest, two-meter-tall culture tank contained a parasite with a twisted body and a head that had exploded into bloody, man-eating petals.

The difference was that the limbs of this parasite were twisted into a knot, the skin on its abdomen was ruptured, and its internal organs were pouring out and floating in the culture tank, dyeing the liquid in the tank dark red.

The heart of the parasite was still beating "thump thump", and worms could be faintly seen wriggling in the film, as if they would jump out of the heart at any time.

"Master, judging from the appearance alone, this parasite looks a bit like the new type of weirdo in the weird sleeping bag." said Xiao Qi.

"You guys step back." Shen Ge pointed to a relatively safe position on the side and said to the two sisters. Then he dragged out the strange sleeping bag from the strange space of the red mist armor and "poured" out the new type of monster inside.

As soon as the strange man broke free from the constraints of the strange sleeping bag, he immediately attacked Shen Ge, rushing towards him with a roar, trying to release the anger that had been trapped for so long.

However, the next second, with a "bang", the weirdo was slapped directly to the ground, with a dent on his head.

Comparing the two monsters together, they do have many similarities. The one in the incubator looks like the prototype of the one that was knocked down.

Shen Ge smashed open the culture tank, grabbed the sleeping monster inside and stuffed it into the strange sleeping bag together with the one on the ground, wanting to see if they could transform into a new species through "mutual cannibalism" like the monsters caught on the strange plane.

After touring this floor, Shen Ge and the two sisters continued to walk upwards. The samples and processes of laboratory research on each floor were different. The higher they went, the more "strange" the experimental subjects became, and many of them even Shen Ge had never seen before.

It has to be said that the Monster Association is indeed much stronger than the other two monster organizations in the field of researching parasitic monsters, not to mention compared with humans.

Even in the "reality" where the development of weirdness is relatively smooth, it is at least ten years behind the research results of this world's monster association.

"Master, a very strong strange energy fluctuation was detected above." Classmate Xiao Qi reminded.

Going up is the last floor of the experimental area. According to Shen Ge's speculation, this should be the source of the leakage of strange energy that caused the entire "tower" to become a strange disaster.

However, Shen Ge didn't care where the source of the strange disaster was. He just wanted to know whether the heart chamber was nearby since it had been confirmed that the "tower" was similar to the "mountain" and the Ark. Finding the heart chamber meant that they could leave this twisted space.

Arriving at the security door, Xiao Qi pulled the door handle to open it, but what greeted the three of them was a dark red stairwell and a strange man who came close to them.

"what--"

An An screamed in fear, and Jingjing, who was standing by, quickly pulled her over to cover her mouth, but the sound had already attracted the attention of the monster. The whole body of the monster was like an open flesh-eating plant, and each petal was covered with sharp teeth.

Tentacles that looked like rotten flesh extended from the back of the body and stuck to the ceiling and walls around it, as if they had merged into one with the walls.

In the middle of the flesh and blood was the mostly rotten body of a woman. Her face had completely rotted away, and most of it was just bones and bugs crawling around in the rotten flesh.

Judging from the overall "look", he looks very much like Fang Yaori's "sex buddy", but we can only say that they are the same type of weirdo and should not be the same person.

First of all, Fang Yaori’s “fuck buddy” is in the “high tower” in Dajing, while Shen Ge is currently in the “high tower” in Xinhai City, so it’s unlikely given the distance.

Secondly, the body shape is also different. Although most of the female monster's body is rotten, it can be seen that the female monster in front of you is much fuller than the female monster seen in the "High Tower" in Dajing.

But this is not the point. The point is that Shen Ge drew several conclusions from the female monster in front of him.

First, the construction of the "Tower" is likely related to the Monster Association. Even though areas such as Dajing and Rong City are mainly controlled by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, they still have "cooperation" behind the scenes;
Second, there are several different species of parasitic monsters studied by the Monster Association. The female monster in the "Tower" is of the same species. It has a strong healing ability. The released monster energy can accelerate the alienation of the parasite and cause strong monster energy erosion. It belongs to the "matrix" type of existence.

Shen Ge even suspected that this female monster was the culprit behind the disaster that broke out in the "Tower". Of course, it was also possible that she herself was the experimental target of the Monster Association.

But there was one thing Shen Ge didn't quite understand, and that was that it was a bit too extravagant to use the "tower" as a place for a one-time experiment.

Unless the one who caused all these disasters was not the Monster Association, but the so-called "person behind the scenes", and the purpose was either to conduct some kind of experiment, or to accelerate the collapse of the world and seize the fragments of divine power, or simply to destroy the Monster Association through the Monster Association's research.

But no matter what the reason is, the Monster Association, as one of the three major monster organizations, coupled with the experience in Rongshan Mental Hospital, has always been the target that Shen Ge wants to eliminate first.

Shen Ge calmly took out his cell phone, took a few photos of the female monster from various angles, then found Fang Yaori's phone number and sent it to him.

Although it has been showing "Sending" because of the "cross-border" issue, Shen Ge didn't care. He just wanted Fang Yaori to see what his former sex buddy would become in the future. Who asked this guy to perform a blinding group sex show for him when they first met?

However, sisters An An and Jing Jing didn’t know why Shen Ge did this. When they saw him taking pictures of the disgusting monster with his mobile phone, the expressions on their faces were indescribable.

Shen Ge's actions completely annoyed the female monster. She swung her long neck, and the flesh-and-blood petals covered with sharp teeth bit towards Shen Ge.

Shen Ge didn't even look at the female monster, and the red mist armor extended a dozen blood-rotten tentacles, the tips of which condensed into strange stomachs and spikes, and "ate" the female monster.

The two sisters were so frightened by the bloody and horrifying scene that they turned away and dared not look. When Shen Ge asked them to leave, they found that there was not even a trace of the female monster left.

All the way up to the 20th floor, the blood-red space turned into pitch black, and the stairwell had reached the "top" here. According to Shen Ge's observation before entering the "tower", the 20th floor should not have reached the top, but there was no staircase, and something was obviously wrong.

Passing through the long and narrow corridor, the layout here is not like a normal building at all. It is like entering the human intestine, with twists and turns. It took almost half an hour to reach the end.

Looking at the familiar room in front of him, Shen Ge asked the two sisters to stand beside him again, and then deployed the invisible barrier of the strange domain to protect them.

Click.

Click.

The sound of the doorknob turning was like an invisible hand pinching Shen Ge's heart, suppressing the beating of his heart and constantly amplifying his fear.

"Tsk, again?"

Feeling this familiar "sense of fear", Shen Ge knew that the "Tower" had already begun to attack him with its strange energy when it realized that he was about to enter the heart chamber.

However, Shen Ge had already gotten used to this feeling of erosion, and felt that the feeling of erosion here was weaker than that of the rotten meat room in the mysterious space he had visited before. Judging from the intensity, this should be a world where the "divine power fragments" were very weak.

It was either a fragment of a "faint light" world, or a world that was about to go out. In any case, it could not be a fragment of a world with medium light.

"crunch-"

With the harsh sound of opening the door, the door was slowly pushed open.

The room was filled with disgusting fat and internal organs. On the fat that looked like flesh and blood foam were eyes that were originally staring at the center of the room. But as the door opened, they all turned their gazes to Shen Ge at the door.

Shen Ge explained the situation in the room to the two sisters An An and Jing Jing in advance, but even though they were mentally prepared, they still felt nauseous when they saw such a disgusting scene.

Just as Shen Ge was planning to try to find the strange eye in the rotten flesh according to his usual methods, and in the process destroy the entire world and take away the fragments of divine power, the entire "tower" suddenly shook violently.

Before Shen Ge could react, his feet suddenly felt empty, and he and the two sisters An An and Jing Jing fell down.

"What's going on? The world collapsed before I did anything?" Shen Ge suddenly felt a little strange and immediately woke up the system to detect the surroundings.

At this moment, the space above the "tower" seemed to be torn open by a pair of invisible hands, and thick black fog was gushing out in the endless dark space.

As Shen Ge and the other two "fell", the world in the crack gradually became clearer, and there seemed to be a huge monster hidden in the thick black fog.

When Shen Ge saw the world in the crack clearly through the strange eyes, he discovered that it was the "big whale" that had originally stopped above the military base.

What surprised him even more was that at this moment, a man in a black cloak was standing on the head of the "big whale", and the half of his face under the cloak was saying something with a half-smile.

Judging from the shape of his mouth, it seems to be saying "I accept this fragment of divine power as a reward for showing you all this"...

Shen Ge wanted to use his strange eyes to see the man's face clearly, but there was always a faint black fog blocking his vision.

Just when he was trying to concentrate his strange energy to break through the opponent's disguise, the surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically. He and the two sisters returned to a familiar-looking room, which seemed to be Suite 601 where Jiang Chong asked them to rest.

"Are we...back?" (End of this chapter)
