Nightmare Light

Chapter 103: Back into the Mist
[██ Record]

[I followed the High Priest's instructions and shut down the entire facility, including all entrances and exits.]

I placed the book in the flames and watched it burst into flames...

[The new brain on my back is developing very well and is very smart... I've figured out a lot of things! I understand!]

"I've figured out a lot of key points in this experiment! This experiment still has room for improvement! High Priest, you've missed a lot!"

【I want to save this experiment! 】

【████】

"Brother Hou, please forgive my actions... I believe this experiment and the existence deep within the fog are directed at the people of the Mist Tribe, so the experimental records cannot be left with any member of the Mist Tribe."

"I will hand it over to you. Of course, I trust you and will never open it. As long as this record remains sealed, it will be absolutely safe."

"I will seal myself in the experimental facility, improve this experiment, and find a way to resolve the pollution... Once I resolve the pollution here, I will come back to you to get the experimental records."

【Old friend, Wu Yiya. 】

Turning to the back, it's basically all kinds of data, as well as dazzling formulas and experimental conclusions...

There are also many confusing symbols of unknown meaning and torn pages.

Lin Wang closed the notebook and looked at Miss Saint: "What conclusion have you come to?"

"Two conclusions." Sen held up two fingers. "First, whether this book is the original copy that was 'burned' or some kind of 'fake', it was indeed delivered to Tangsheng City and into the hands of Old Hou."

"Secondly, this thing has some kind of contamination, which is why Hou Xuanzhang lost his mind and went crazy."

Lin Wang nodded. "Following your two points... it's very likely that Old Hou was 'summoned' to this experimental facility by some kind of 'calling'."

Sen frowned. "What did Hou Xuanzhang go to do in search of this experimental facility?"

"I don't know what they're doing, but it's not like they're getting together with old friends, or treating those monsters to hot pot, is it?"

Sen ignored Lin Wang's cold joke and frowned as he thought for a while: "There's no time to wait for the Temple's reinforcements. Hou Xuanzhang could cause a big mess every second."

Lin Wang nodded: "There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately... But you should still leave a message for the temple, right?"

Miss Saint thought about it and nodded: "You are right."

She walked to the wall beside her, raised her hand, and with a bang, the bricks and stones shattered and she smashed a half-foot deep hole in the wall.

"Alright, I'm using the temple's unique magic. When the priests arrive soon, they'll be able to sense the aura I left behind." Sen clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Alright, let's go."

Lin Wang had a blank expression on his face and handed her the phone: "Why don't you just call me?"

"...I have it." Miss Saint took out her cell phone with a stiff expression and turned to leave.

Half a minute later, she came back with a stern face: "Let's go."

"Ahem, let's go."

The two of them passed through the iron gate. Sen summoned a small ball of holy light and held it in his hand as a light source. The two of them walked for a while in the damp and cool passage.

As they moved forward, Lin Wang felt that the visibility around him was gradually decreasing.

The ball of light in Miss Saint's hand was still bright, but the distance it could reach was much shorter.

As visibility decreased, the surrounding air began to become warm and sticky.

"Something's wrong, the visibility has decreased." Sen frowned and shot out another brighter ball of light - even a little dazzling, but the distance the light could reach was still less than ten meters.

"The rules of this space...are simulating the concept of 'fog.'" Lin Wang narrowed his eyes. Under his super-dimensional perspective, all kinds of energy and information flowed before his eyes. "This space, through some method, forcibly changed the rules of space, making this place a transit station between Tangsheng City and the fog."

Sen was a little surprised. With an ambiguous look, he glanced at Lin Wang and said, "Mr. Lin...this knowledge is not something an ordinary newspaper reporter should know."

"Ordinary newspaper reporters don't have a boss like me." Lin Wang smiled and said, "Let's go."

Sen didn't say anything, but instead gave Lin Wang a deep look, then followed his pace, straining his short legs to overtake Lin Wang and reach ahead of him. After walking in the passage for a few more minutes, a faint mist appeared in the air.

When the fog appeared, they heard a dull metallic roar coming from deeper in the passage.

As they got closer, a heavy metal door appeared in front of them. It was about seven or eight meters high. A huge fan with a diameter of more than half a meter was rotating on the door - the sound was made by this thing.

As it rotated, a large amount of mist was sent into the passage.

"The newspaper office's basement...a door that's seven or eight meters long...who can I talk to about this..." Lin Wang complained and walked towards the big iron gate.

On this huge iron gate, there is a small door that can accommodate one person.

"The door is open." "The footprints on the ground are fresh."

The two of them no longer hesitated and walked through the door one after the other.

Then, both of them were stunned.

"What the hell?" "Mother!"

"Where the hell is this?" "The newspaper basement is connected to the fog?!"

In front of me, there was a thick fog that seemed to be substantial, blocking almost everything from my sight.

From Lin Wang's super-dimensional perspective, indescribable strange and distorted shapes can be seen everywhere in the fog.

It's foggy indeed...

In an instant, I was in the fog from Tangsheng City...

There's actually something so weird hidden in the newspaper office's basement...

Lin Wang's mind was still wandering involuntarily. In an instant, a lot of plots such as "the Fog Clan's counterattack" and "the Fog Spirit's riot" popped up in his mind.

If he hadn't been interrupted by the Saint, he would have almost finished designing the life story of the Wuling leader...

"Mr. Lin," Sen called out, interrupting his distracted thoughts. "I need to set up a 'buoy' here, otherwise we'll get lost with the follow-up troops... Please wait for me for a moment."

Lin Wang was about to nod when his heart suddenly started to ring with alarm. His expression changed and he turned around and shouted at Sen, "Be careful!"

After saying that, he rolled on the ground.

Almost at the same time, the place where he had just stood was covered by a series of dazzling explosions.

At the same time, Sen on the side was also attacked, but her response was much calmer - the saint girl just looked calm and raised one hand.

The next second, the explosions seemed to hit an invisible wall and exploded in front of her, and she only had her hair and clothes shaking a few times.

Do you have any defensive gear? What a beautiful hand...

Lin Wang secretly gave Miss Saint a thumbs up in his heart, and at the same time thought to himself: If I had a defensive item...

But now is not the time to think about it, as dense footsteps can be heard from all directions.

The sound of footsteps was accompanied by many extremely angry roars.

"Catch these thieves!"

"We must never let another thief into the temple again!"

"Don't kill them! I want to get information about my accomplice from these two thieves!"

As Lin Wang listened to the voice, his expression gradually became strange.

After the group of people on the opposite side gradually approached them in the fog and gradually revealed their figures, Lin Wang tried to call out to them: "Lao Gu?"

In the fog, the voice became quiet.
