Abyss Express

When you reach the top of the low hill, there are six light sources here - the same lights that can be seen at the exit of the Howling Ridge tunnel.

Looking forward along the road, there are tall tombstones on both sides of the viewing platform, about two meters high. Meteor and Ping An approached and took a closer look. These tall tombstones are not like other small tombstones. It will automatically light up - it seems that the undead sleeping here have obtained eternal peace.

Meteor sighed silently in his heart.

This ghostly place finally has the meaning of a tomb. Before entering from the entrance of the cemetery, it was like shopping in a department store. There were people's voices everywhere, but there were no people everywhere, which made people panic.

He moved closer to the tombstone, trying to see the light source on the tombstone clearly, but when he looked carefully, he found that these tombs had no stone platform foundation, no catacombs, only such a lonely tablet.

Below the tombstone was a beam of orange-yellow light that hit the black base screen almost as a mirror, reflecting his face.

He wanted to take a closer look, but after taking a step forward, he immediately felt something was wrong, so he squatted down and took a flashlight to illuminate the stone road.

On the road, there are signs in Japanese that tell you not to go near the danger.

"This place is the mausoleum of the gods, and the ever-burning lamps that provide illumination for the tombstones contain radioactive substances. For your health, please don't offend the mausoleum of the gods."

After Ah Xing finished reading this sentence, Mr. Ping An immediately took out the Geiger indicator from the carry-on package, and the radiation readings showed that the results were indeed consistent with the warning of this announcement.

"The lighting equipment here may be tritium tubes, and the tritium element is a by-product of the nuclear industry." Mr. Ping An said so.

Meteor: "Is it harmful to the human body?"

Ping An: "There is radiation, but not much, and it has no effect on the human body and electronic equipment."

Meteor asked according to the lettering on the stone road.

"Then why did it warn us?"

Pingan explained: "The magic used by the devil needs to cooperate with many tricks to conceal the eyes - if it is too close, the gods will lose their sanctity, and the devil will not have a sense of mystery when it comes to the sun. I think this half-truth and half-false The warning should be to keep a sense of distance from these tombs for those who want to pay respects to the tombs.”

"That's right." Meteor pondered carefully: "If I want to buy such a cemetery, of course the closer to the gods, the better. If it really has such strong radiation, wouldn't my electronic tombstone be the one that breaks the fastest?" A batch? I became the number one victim in the universe?"

"Little brother, I saw the words on the tombstone." Mr. Pingan urged: "Come closer, it doesn't want me to come close, I'm going to have a look."

Meteor was stunned. From the six pieces of orange light, he couldn't see any handwriting, and the tombstones were as smooth as a mirror. Where did the traces come from?

Brother Pingan is wearing those sunglasses, can he still distinguish things that I can't see in such a dark place? It's really strange.

The two of them were almost zero distance away from the tombstone. Meteor took off his glasses and put them on again, but he didn't see any words.

Pingan, however, muttered: "On this stele is written the name of the god in Shinto City, called Rixun—I think it's the slogan of the Riyoushen consortium. The corporate culture is well done."

Meteor: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute, Big Brother Ping An!"

Ping An: "What's wrong?"

Meteor felt his hair stand on end and was extremely surprised.

"I can't see anything! Does this thing have writing?"

Mr. Ping'an shrugged, pointed to the other five tombstones, and read them one by one.

"The opposite is the night patrol, it should be the tomb of the night tour god consortium."

"There are two people on the left and right in the middle, and the tombstones say Falcon Style and Zhong Kui."

"The first two sitting on the top of the mountain are also the ones with the best Feng Shui, namely Gai Feng and Shuo Feng."

Meteor was shocked: "Are you kidding me?"

Don't say anything, Meteor stared his eyeballs out of their sockets, and his eyes began to sore and weep, but he couldn't see anything unusual.

"Monks don't tell lies, little brother." Mr. Ping'an said, "I only tell the truth, and I will never lie to you."

Now the problem is big.

None of the knowledge Meteor had learned in the secret library could explain this scene.

The biggest difference between ordinary people and psykers is the inspiration of spiritual vision. The banknotes in the eyes of ordinary people are probably the tickets marked with spiritual energy at the Nine Realms Station.

What Mr. Pingan can see, there is no reason why Meteor can't see it. His inspiration is not weak.

So what's the problem?

"Little brother, according to what you mean, you can't see the words on these tombstones? Right?"

Meteor Chick nodded as if pecking rice.

Without hesitation, Mr. Ping'an immediately took off the graphite mirror and asked Meteor to put it on.

When the line of sight is shrouded in the shadow of the black lens, a new landscape appears in the meteor's eyes! Repeatedly everything is different.

According to the secret document library, the nature of the black stone is very special. It is good at absorbing energy and emotions, maintaining strong curiosity, and can awaken it.

Lingweng makes pyroxene jewelry for passengers, but there are very few Blackstone people because it has a strong negative effect-it sucks almost everything.

Whether it is a good mood or a bad mood, whether it is positive energy or negative energy, it is like a black hole, which can make people quickly lose their goals in life, lose their motivation to move forward, and become a salty fish with a natural state of mind.

When Robert Downing came to the station, because of the strong hatred and sorrow left in his heart, the stone he got was naturally black jade. His self-destructive desire was too strong, and he needed a black stone to recuperate.

At this moment, Meteor uses Brother Ping'an's pyroxene jewelry, but he can clearly see the words on the tombstone.

It is like a psionic detector that can illuminate the weak psionic tides in the environment. The words on these tombstones flow with light, and the light source like water flows to form the shape of the writing.

Meteor turned his head involuntarily, following the spiritual energy fluctuations of the leylines, looking back and forth as he traveled, the mounds of dwarf hills all over the mountains and plains became clusters of pale green soul fires.

He didn't understand, and thought in his heart——

——Could it be that the black stone in the VENOM Venom mechanism is for this?

Allowing the eyes of ordinary people to see spiritual things, this technological innovation is a subversive revolution for the underground world.

When he turned his head and looked at Brother Pingan again, his mind was shocked and he became dizzy for a while.

The light from this ancient soul almost blinded him, and for a moment, he seemed to understand what Jason Megan felt when his inspiration exceeded the limit.

The majestic light from Mr. Ping'an's eyes almost made Meteor close his eyes instinctively. It seemed that the spirit body in the physical body did not want to have contact with the ancient mind, but in a trance, Mr. Pingan noticed the strangeness of A Xing, and immediately He took off his sunglasses and put them back on before Ah Xing opened his eyes.

"How is it? Little brother, can you see it now?"

"Yes" Meteor was still in shock, sweating profusely: "I can see clearly, there are indeed words on these tombs."

Arranged all the way in the past according to the front and back——

——Night Watch, Day Watch, Falcon Style, Zhong Kui, Shuo Feng, Gale Wind.

These six names represent the six gods, that is, the six departments, six functions and titles with Shinto City as the core.

"It seems that I have to get the VENOM mechanism or a black stone to see these things." Meteor carefully analyzed: "Brother Pingan, you just said that this mountain is the best place for Fengshui, since these people like money so much, Why don't you sell it for money?"

Ping An didn't speak.

Meteor then asked: "What's the meaning of making a tomb for these departments? There is only a single tombstone, and I don't plan to dig a hole to bury people."

Mr. Ping'an said unhurriedly: "That's why they call themselves gods, little brother. If a god and a mortal are buried in the same tomb, that person also has a bit of divinity."

He pointed behind him casually, pointing to the graves on the mountainside.

"As the old saying goes, a chicken and a dog ascend to heaven by one person, so it's no wonder there are chickens and dogs along the way."

"Where do you think the charm of religion is? Where is the charm of superstition?"

"Isn't it just that when I recited the scriptures devoutly, I mistakenly thought that the gods would give me divine power, and when this divine power manifested, would I be contaminated with that bit of divinity? The Magdalene in the Bible is also a prostitute contaminated with divinity, and her status is different. gone."

"So, Yeyoushen Group's underworld real estate is doing well! It is a small expert in making money. If you sell this treasured land on the top of the mountain to rich people, to local high-ranking officials or businessmen in Shiqiu Town, others It’s not easy to sell the yin house. It looks like there is an empty lot here, and there are a few useless tombstones, which are actually gold-lettered signboards.”

Walking to the end of the viewing platform, it is dark as far as the eye can see, from which you can feel the hot and humid wind of the mountain streams and valleys.

Originally, when they came to this mountain, they wanted to ask the local undead for some information that would help them explore, but they didn't expect that they found nothing except the six steles.

Meteor: "What now?"

Mr. Ping An stood upright, bowed his head in deep thought, and discussed with Meteor——

——He changed his joking tone, not as casual as before.

"There is a milestone at the entrance of the cemetery. It is still thirteen kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​Shiqiu Town. Little brother, you should be able to get VENOM·venom agency there, which is something similar to a mobile phone. The next investigation can also be carried out smoothly. .”

Meteor: "Yeah"

Ping An: "I don't know if these graves are buried with real souls, or cyborgs that imitate their souls—I don't know."

Meteor: "Yeah"

Ping An: "Next, I may have to do something, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."

Meteor hesitated to speak: "Brother Ping An."

Ping An took out the ruler and explained patiently.

"But these things bring risks. I don't know if you can accept them."

"This is your VIP trial mission. As for the mountain god we met in the Howling Ridge Tunnel, it can easily tear us apart. The escape route has been cut off. I can't guarantee that I can get you safely in this environment." Take it back to the station."

"Now I really want to smash all these tombstones, dig up every grave in the cemetery, cut off their energy, at least these dead souls can rest in peace, and don't have to repeat those advertisements."

"Like Miss Tomita Lilia we met before, no matter whether she is a real spirit body or a digital life, she no longer has to frown and flirt with others to beg for money for a better tomb."

"But you know, if we want to destroy the clay idols in the temple, there must be congregants and patriarchs coming to kill us."

"This place has been deserted for more than 50 years. Judging from the tombs of these gods, Shinto City has nuclear power facilities and eternal lights that have lasted for more than 50 years. The basic electrical equipment of this cemetery is still operating. I don't know. Will these minions of the gods wake up again because of the security alarm?"

"If you're scared, we'll go back and find a way to the Howling Ridge Tunnels to return to the civilized world we know."

"I think" Meteor is once again put to the test.

When he heard Mr. Ping'an's proposal, he re-examined the meaning of life and death.

A mausoleum is a trace of a person's existence, a history book made of a stone. It was supposed to be the most serious and profound thing in the world.

But on this 378,000 square kilometers, the gods in charge of life, old age, sickness and death of countless dusty people have created an Avici Hell for people's death.

After thinking about it, he personally substituted it——

——If Brother Ming dies one day, there will be a portrait of him on his tombstone, and from time to time he will urge my sister-in-law and the children to transfer money, asking me to buy a certain brand of wine, and drink it across the yin and yang worlds.

——If one day, 3301 also dies, she will remain young forever in the tomb, but when she sees me, she will show off her breasts and beg me to buy her a tomb upgrade service.

——If one day.

At this moment, Meteor's sweat and eyebrows stood on end, he was startled and angry, almost trembling all over.

"Brother Ping An! I'm going to smash this tomb!"

Luo Ping'an: "Calm down, think clearly?"

Bu Meteor: "I'm not calm! I can't be calm!"

Luo Ping'an: "When I use a ruler to split their tombs, it's equivalent to splitting their false bodies, and I want to fight the entire Shinto city—you have to think about it."

"These broken metals have been abandoned for more than fifty years! What monsters and ghosts, come out and touch them! I am the second head of Wumingshi!" Bu Liuxing's eyes were full of flames: "I'm not afraid!"

Luo Ping'an smiled gratifiedly.

"You can retreat, you can become tactful, you can take one step at a time, you can wait and see for a while, maybe there is something hidden about this matter? Maybe you can wait, maybe you will change your mind when you arrive in Shiqiu Town."

"Think about it, we are living under the fence now, and we can't last for eight days with food and drink. If the signboard of the local snake is smashed, the next life may be difficult."

"Brother Ping An!" Bu Liuxing said firmly, "I won't wait any longer! Thinking that there are more than 200 dead souls living in Abi Hell in this cemetery, it fills me with courage, and I have no way to think about other things. matter."

Luo Pingan: "Then I did it?"

Bu Meteor: "You do it."

Luo Ping'an: "You ring the summons bell first."

Following Luo Ping'an's instructions, Meteor rang the waiter's summoning bell, and then asked, "Ring the bell in this ghostly place, can the Nine Realms Station see my psionic beacon?"

Luo Ping'an: "Not necessarily, but it's better than doing nothing."

Bu Meteor: "Yes, Daoist, you are right, it is better than doing nothing!"

Daoist Pingan stepped forward quickly, broke the rock with a ruler in his hand, and knocked it on the tombstone of the night patrol, breaking out pieces of residue and iron, and the components were quickly oxidized and burned when exposed to the air.

For the first time, the other five tombstones triggered the security alarm, and the ancient ruins decades ago sent out a warning.

"Warning! Warning! You are destroying the public property of Shinto City!"

"The facial features of the prisoner have been scanned."

"The body shape of the prisoner has been scanned."

"Upload it to the Bliss Space, and call the Shiqiu Town Terrorist Rangers to arrest."

"Terrorist Rangers no response, take backup plan"

"Call the medical trauma insurance team, Shiqiu town area duty unit."

"Medical trauma insurance team unresponsive, backup plan."

"Call the Night Watch Special Operations Team - Executioners."

"The answer was successful, and the task is being released."

"Criminal suspect, please stop your violence! Please stop your violence!"

"We will collect evidence and upload it to Elysium Space for a public trial on the Internet as public prosecution materials. The Supreme Court of Shendao City will judge your crime. At that time, you will need to compensate Yeyoushen Company for all material and property losses and pay the litigation costs."

"Criminal suspect, since your VENOM mechanism cannot be detected, we will treat you as a foreigner. Please cooperate with the executioner's investigation, otherwise your personal safety cannot be guaranteed."

The electronic sound stopped abruptly, and the golden ruler smashed the last tombstone into pieces.

Luo Ping'an: "It seems that I have a lawsuit on my back."

Bu Meteor clenched the Iron Knight nervously. From the warning broadcast just now, he could probably get some useful information.

The basic violent mechanism of this town has been paralyzed, but the armed force of the Night Tour God still exists, and it responds to the security center of [Elysium], that is to say—someone is coming.

Ah Hei's roar came from the gate of the cemetery, and there was a dull rumbling sound.

Meteor lost his mind for a moment: "So fast!?"

According to the milestones, the nearest town is more than ten kilometers away, but within a few minutes, the enemy has already arrived at the scene.

Luo Pingan responded and looked towards the sky——

——Four bright red dots are getting closer and closer, it is a drone.

There was a tall figure hanging on the drone, more than ten meters above the ground, and the figure was seen descending from the sky.

The man was wearing a visor. He was a man with shiny short hair. The texture of the hair was like an optical fiber. There was not a single piece of skin all over his body. It was all bare pale artificial muscles with obvious parting lines at the joints. He made a heavy shock when he landed, bringing with it strong winds and dust.

Meteor raised his hand to cover his face, and saw an orange-yellow safelight light source in the smoke.

The dust and fog caused the drone's rotors to blow away, and Meteor finally saw the whole picture of [the executioner].

There are trademarks on his forehead and profile, like the logo of a weapons company.

His eyes are blood-red, but without capillaries, artificial eyes made up of two pupils and two complex sights.

He has no ears, replaced by a visor with plates extending all the way to the temples.

He has no long-range firepower, no guns can be found all over his body, his thighs and chest are covered with armor, and he holds a beheading execution sword in his hand, which is a square-headed sword without a point.

Yellow-orange safelights emanated from a multi-jointed spine behind him, cylinders like power cells with rings of light. There is a black lacquered box inlaid on the forearm of the right hand, which is exactly the [VENOM · Venom Mechanism] seen in the mission briefing. At this moment, it emits a bright red light source, and the display panel is like a stream of water. The texture left various readings, which seemed to be broadcasting the data of the executioner's body. These magnetic fluids gathered and scattered, and were erratic.

When his eyes locked on Mr. Luo Pingan——

——This bald, hairless artificial human has a layer of black carapace protruding from his body.

Like a mixture of water and mud, the mud flow quickly climbed up the exposed man-made fiber muscles, turned into a flexible hexagonal grid, and became the executioner's skin.

Thirty-two cooling holes are distributed on the shoulders and ribs, the back and hips and legs. The executioner raised his execution sword and tilted his head to look at Luo Pingan. He didn't move for a while.

——This cyborg doesn’t seem to be able to recognize what Mr. Ping’an is. After all, Luo Ping’an doesn’t use the mobile phone of Shinto City, and doesn’t have [VENOM Organ·Venom Organ]. He is an outsider, just like people in modern society have ID cards and WeChat QR code, there are various social accounts and personal files, but Meteor and Ping An are black households.

Luo Pingan raised his sunglasses and counted the features of the executioner.

"Nano armor, artificial spine, artificial nerve, artificial muscle."

Mr. Pingan took out a gun from his waist and fired at the executioner.

The 9mm par bomb hit the dark skin like it was hit in a flexible quagmire. Ripples appeared on the executioner's skin, and the muscles in his chest bounced back and forth without leaving any wounds. [Night Watch] The two characters and the barcode were distorted and deformed by the impact of the warhead, and finally slowly squirmed back into their original shape.

Luo Pingan dropped his pistol and told Ah Xing not to do anything, and not to become a criminal in the public security system of Shendao City.

He raised the ruler again, ready to fight.

"With your high technology, I'm afraid you don't have many human organs in your stomach. Bullets will not break your defenses. It's no wonder you use your sword to catch criminals."
