Honkai Summoning.

This time, the pain was significantly more intense and lasted longer than before. Several minutes passed before Lin Yunling finally caught her breath and recovered. The image on the light screen floating in the air above her bracelet also changed slightly.

The series of messy, incomprehensible characters above became the characters that Su Mo was familiar with.

"This thing looks like a pass to this place," Lin Yunling said, looking at the image in mid-air that resembled a pass. "Now it should belong to me."

"What kind of information is inside? What does it contain? Can we look it up?" Su Mo asked.

"Let me try." Lin Yunling reached out and rubbed the bracelet a couple of times, and the scene changed. Images and text appeared, like a slideshow.

A few minutes later, Lin Yunling let out a long breath, her voice trembling slightly: "How could this be a place?"

They were currently in a containment facility, a containment facility built by humans. However, they were probably not from Earth—at least not yet, Earth's technology was not advanced enough for that.

Although the data was somewhat incomplete and some images were blurry, clearly damaged, Su Mo and Lin Yunling still obtained a considerable amount of useful information.

This containment facility was built by humans. Of course, it's not used to imprison humans, but rather various monsters like the Slit-Mouthed Woman and the monster girl searching for her brother. Its purpose is naturally to prevent these monsters from appearing and harming humans.

According to the data stored in the bracelet, the containment facility currently holds 2,785 monsters. Besides those confirmed to be inside, the bracelet also indicates that some monsters remain outside the containment facility and have not yet been captured.

The bracelet in Lin Yunling's hand is the "access pass" for the staff of this shelter, which has the ability to open some rooms. As for why it can only open some rooms, the bracelet itself does not have high authority and belongs to the lower-level staff.

That's all the basic information we have.

"Are we in another world?" Lin Yunling asked.

"I don't know." Su Mo shook his head and frowned slightly. "It doesn't seem like it. I feel like the place described above is Earth."

The locations shown in the footage are not much different from the environment on Earth. Perhaps they were ancient worlds where humans or similar races could have been born.

“I think so too.” Lin Yunling nodded in agreement.

"Never mind, that's not important. The most important thing now is to get out of here... By the way, can you open this door now?" Su Mo asked Lin Yunling.

“Okay.” Lin Yunling approached and stretched out her hand towards the iron gate beside her. Under their gazes, the iron gate sank and disappeared underground. There was no trace left on the ground.

"That's cutting-edge technology," Su Mo said, and went inside.

The room was no different from the room of the Slit-Mouthed Woman that Su Mo had seen. It was also dark and empty, with several corpses whose chests had been ripped open, and a few toy dolls scattered around.

Black blood seeped from the dolls, exuding an eerie aura. Su Mo approached, examined the corpses, and said to Lin Yunling, who was standing at the door, "It's not those people."

Although these bodies were also wearing military uniforms, they weren't the soldiers who had entered with Su Mo; they were likely other soldiers from the small village. After placing the bodies in a corner of the room, Su Mo turned and left.

"This is..." Lin Yunling hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

“I guess they were sent directly to this room, and then someone probably got the bracelet on your wrist and accidentally released the monster,” Su Mo said, offering his speculation.

This bracelet clearly wasn't meant for a monster. The only explanation is that there was originally a bracelet in the room, which was picked up by those people. Later, after the monster killed them, the bracelet became ownerless again, and then this monster got it.

Perhaps instinctively feeling that the item was important, Su Mo eventually got his hands on it.

"Let's go. We might run into other people. Hopefully, they won't be so unlucky as to be teleported directly into the rooms." Su Mo and his group were probably quite lucky; at least they weren't teleported into the shelter's rooms.

"Ah."

Lin Yunling nodded. She reached out and tapped the bracelet twice.

The iron gate, which had seemingly vanished, began to slowly rise, at a pace as slow as an old woman taking a leisurely stroll with a cane. Its descent wasn't much faster. However, since it was a descent, Lin Yunling didn't perceive the slowness. Now that this dangerous space was to be sealed off again, such a slow pace was astonishing.

"So slow, no wonder the monster came out," Lin Yunling muttered.

“It shouldn’t have taken this long,” Su Mo said. “This containment facility has probably been abandoned for a long time. Besides the original builders, there should have been a second group of people with less advanced technology who entered.” Su Mo pointed to the flickering light bulbs above.

This thing is on a completely different level from the technology shown by the bracelet.

“That’s true.” Lin Yunling nodded.

This containment facility is certainly not that simple. However, her bracelet has insufficient access, so the data is limited, and much of it is damaged. Some important matters will probably never be known to them.

"Do you have a map?" Su Mo asked.

"No." Lin Yunling shook her head. "This is only slightly more advanced than a pass." If it were something really important, even if the containment facility were eventually abandoned, this thing wouldn't appear in the rooms where monsters were kept, or be casually tossed into the hallway.

"It seems we'll have to stick to this one path to the bitter end."

The two didn't return the way they came. They headed straight back in the original direction, ignoring the cameraman and Guan Erdai. Su Mo naturally didn't bother with them. Lin Yunling didn't say much either. She didn't scoff at their decision to sacrifice their friends for her own; it was simply a choice made by an ordinary person facing a life-threatening situation.

Of course, she didn't think it was anything worth talking about. So, let's just let it go.

Moreover, Lin Yunling felt that Su Mo was far more indifferent than Guan Erdai and the others, and such a person would definitely not go back to look for them.

The two advanced for fifteen minutes. After arranging the bodies of their captain and the others, they continued onward. About half an hour later, an iron gate appeared in the wall beside them, bearing a number, presumably due to the proximity of the bracelet.

"Us?" Lin Yunling paused for a moment.

"What kind of monsters are being held inside?" Su Mo asked.

"I don't know." After tapping the bracelet several times, the image in mid-air kept changing. Lin Yunling said, "It seems like the data only appears when the monster itself is scanned..."

"Perhaps the monster's information isn't stored in the bracelet," Su Mo thought to himself.

"Then forget it." Looking at the number on the door that was starting to shrink, Su Mo said, "Let's go out first and talk about it later." Faced with the unknown, Su Mo was not so arrogant as to think he could overcome everything.

"Okay." Lin Yunling nodded.

The two continued on their way, and this time, they walked for almost five hours before Lin Yunling, exhausted, finally stopped. They temporarily ignored the rooms they passed along the way.

However, Su Mo also noticed that not all rooms were displayed. Although the numbers were generally getting smaller, there were still many confusing parts, with some earlier numbers mixed in with the middle.

Chapter 116 This place is full of monsters, run!

"Whoosh-"

Lin Yunling, who was resting, sat on the ground, panting heavily. ←Baidu Search→

Su Mo glanced at her twice and said, "It's normal for your stomach to growl when you're hungry; there's no need to hide it." Although his expression was serious, the underlying malicious teasing was impossible to conceal.

"I haven't eaten anything for a long time," Lin Yunling said helplessly, her stomach rumbling.

"Let's rest a little longer. If there's an exit, it shouldn't be too far," Su Mo said.

"Okay." Lin Yunling nodded, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes. After sitting for a few more minutes, she stood up again.

The two continued on their way, but this time they slowed down considerably. As they walked, Lin Yunling asked, "Are you a legendary superhuman? Do superhumans really exist in this world?"

Unlike Guan Erdai, who came from a middle-class family and only learned about the villagers of a small village being driven away and the village being directly requisitioned and sealed off through certain channels, Lin Yunling came to interview him with a passion that may not have been appropriate.

She knew even less than Guan Erdai. Now that she was safer, her journalistic curiosity began to burn brightly again.

“You’ve already seen it,” Su Mo said.

"But according to you, didn't he just become a superhuman?" Lin Yunling wasn't stupid. "Could it be that you sealed off this area because it can transform people and give them superpowers?"

"If that's all there is to it, isn't that a good thing?" Su Mo said with a smile.

"That seems to make sense... but it's not without its costs. Several of the people who came here with us died," Lin Yunling said.

Su Mo continued walking: "So now you know why Tang Tian is so eager for you to leave this place immediately?"

"I understand." Lin Yunling nodded. "I'm sorry, but as..."

"Quiet."

Just then, Su Mo stretched out a hand, signaling Lin Yunling to quiet down.

Lin Yunling was taken aback, then fell silent.

A faint electrical buzzing sound reached her ears. Then, Lin Yunling saw Su Mo take out a walkie-talkie.

"Can...you...hear...it...?"

The voice coming from the walkie-talkie was muffled and intermittent, but it became clear after being repeated several times.

“I can hear you. Where are you?” Su Mo asked.

"Great, we have a signal!" A suppressed gasp came from the other end, the voice becoming clearer. "We're in a room now, with an iron door and a monster inside. Repeat, in a room, with an unopenable iron door and a monster. Quite a few comrades have already sacrificed themselves..."

At this point, another crackling sound came from the air, before silence returned.

"Looks like we're actually pretty lucky," Su Mo said.

"Where are they?" Lin Yunling asked. "This bracelet should be able to open the room door."

"It should be up ahead," Su Mo said. He hadn't stopped walking while speaking, so his voice was a little clearer. Now, the only conclusion they could draw was that they were probably in the room ahead.

The two continued forward, and the walkie-talkie in Su Mo's hand occasionally emitted some static, but no more human voices came through.

"Not here."

Su Mo casually sliced ​​the unknown monster into pieces, then turned and left. Lin Yunling then closed the slow-moving iron gate.

Half an hour later, they arrived at an iron gate numbered 173. Suddenly, Su Mo's walkie-talkie emitted an extremely loud noise, which made Lin Yunling cover her ears and take several steps back.

Su Mo suddenly squeezed the walkie-talkie with his right hand, crushing it into pieces, and the sound stopped abruptly. A very faint scraping sound came from the iron gate beside him.

"Is this the place?" The unusual changes made Lin Yunling suspicious.

“Open it,” Su Mo said.

"Okay, be careful." Lin Yunling took two steps back to a relatively safer spot and tapped the bracelet twice.

The iron gate in front of them began to slowly sink. Then, a series of extremely suppressed breathing sounds emanated from it.

"Who is it?" a voice came from inside the room.

"Tang Tian? It's me." Hearing this voice, Su Mo paused for a moment and said, "You..."

"Hurry up! No! Look closely, make sure you see the monster inside, keep your eyes on it!" Tang Tian's voice came from inside the room.

"Huh?" Su Mo turned to look at Lin Yunling beside him in confusion. "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, a yellowish-brown afterimage flashed by and appeared behind Su Mo. With a crisp sound of bones cracking and twisting, Su Mo's head twisted more than 270 degrees.

"What is this?" Lin Yunling exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at the "creature" behind Su Mo.

It was a yellowish-brown object, its body somewhat resembling a matryoshka doll, but upside down. Its head was larger than its body, and it had short limbs with messy patterns on it, making it look like a clay doll that a child had haphazardly sculpted.

However, this very thing twisted Su Mo's head by an exaggerated degree in an instant.

After snapping Su Mo's neck, the monster's form blurred again and was about to disappear. However, at this moment, Tang Tian appeared with several people from the small doorway of the room, staring intently at the monster.

The blurry figure began to become clearer, and finally stood still in place.
