Ark Undead

However, apart from these items, the two could not find anything else in the room.

The good news is that the door can be opened.

After pushing open the door, white light shone from the corridor into the dimly lit room.

The two of them slightly shielded their eyes from the light and squinted as they looked outside.

A pristine white corridor revealed itself to the two of them.

There are no gaps at all; it's like a ceiling and floor that were created as a single, seamless piece.

The minimalist, tech-inspired style gave the two a strange feeling; they had never seen anything like it before.

Besides the room where Kroos and Skadi were, there were other doors. But all of these doors were locked, and neither Kroos nor Skadi could open them.

So the two began to walk down the corridor, with Kroos constantly twitching his nose, trying to smell anything.

Walking down the corridor to the end, they came to a corner that led to both sides.

Just as they decided to go to the left, a figure emerged from the left corner.

The figure was so eerie that it made no sound at all. When it appeared, both Kroos and Skadi instinctively reached for their weapon grips.

"Doctor! Doctor, wait for me!"

Just as they were preparing to attack, a sound finally came out.

Further away around the left corner, distinct footsteps and shouts could be heard.

The figure that appeared in front of the two turned its head and looked behind it.

"Slow down, we don't need this little bit of time."

As the figure spoke, his image gradually became clearer in front of the two.

The familiar hood and uniform, only the texture and sewing techniques of the clothes are noticeably different.

But both of them recognized who this person was.

A woman ran from around the corner and stopped in front of the doctor.

"I have other things to do in a little while, and I need to check on the progress of the experiment before I leave immediately."

The woman had smooth black hair, and her eyes were also a deep black.

When that face appeared in front of them, Skadi and Ceobe almost cried out in surprise.

The woman's name tag had a neat line of handwriting that identified her.

Kal'tsit

"The experiments on the second phase of the Abyssal Adaptive Primarch have progressed to the embryo culture stage. However, I have discovered that the growth patterns of different embryos are completely different."

Kal'tsit pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket containing some of the differences between the experimental subjects that she had written down.

"As a replica of that prophet, Subject One's abilities are indeed very powerful. However, she is extremely uncontrollable, and the fuel she burns is the abyss. But she lacks the process of converting humanity into energy."

"As for Subject Two... I remember you said that this subject was a gift for that person?"

The doctor nodded and said.

"We can leave Experiment Subject Two alone for now. I need to examine the embryo of Experiment Subject Two to see if its resistance to the abyss is as high as expected."

As he spoke, the Doctor raised the glass tube in his hand and showed it to Kal'tsit.

Inside the glass tube, a black beam of light, seemingly capable of drawing one's gaze in, spun continuously.

The doctor actually called such a thing an embryo.

"However, regarding Subject One, I did find a clue when we were chatting before."

"Although it is inherently uncontrollable, we can create a container, a container that is not human."

"Separating energy storage from mind control might solve some of the problems."

Kal'tsit's eyes lit up, and she asked.

"A symbiotic relationship?"

"Yes."

The doctor nodded.

"The First Flame is not something we can touch. But since we know that the Wedge Stone can contain the First Flame, we can let the Wedge Stone bear the power to replicate the flame."

"The essence of flames is the re-transformation of abyssal matter. Our goal is not to completely reject the abyss, but to turn it into a consumable that can be transformed. This is very similar to the concept of the world barrier you proposed back then."

Kal'tsit nodded in agreement.

"I understand, thank you for your guidance!"

She even bowed very respectfully to the doctor.

"It's alright, I'll be going now."

The Doctor shook the embryo in his hand again and said goodbye to Kal'tsit.

"Take care, Doctor! Remember to try the coffee I recommended when you have time!"

Kal'tsit's face was full of smiles, tinged with excitement and anticipation.

The sight nearly made the eyes of the two people who had been watching silently pop out.

Even Kroos knew what Kal'tsit was like normally, and never would have thought that Kal'tsit would do something like this one day.

Their words were somewhat complicated for Kroos and Skadi.

Neither of them could understand the conversation between the Doctor and Kal'tsit.

But if Scout or Logos were here, they would immediately understand how important this information is.

They might even associate it with another common thing.

When the doctor turned around and faced Kroos and Skadi again, Skadi's heart jumped.

If we see the Doctor here, does that mean he has also entered the dream world?

"Dr...Doctor?"

Skadi extended her hand to greet the Doctor.

The doctor did not answer, but walked straight toward the two of them.

Skadi paused for a moment, and seeing that the Doctor showed no sign of slowing down as he approached her, she was about to dodge to the side.

Dr. Ke just passed right through Skadi's body.

Skadi quickly turned around to look, but there was nothing behind her.

The moment the Doctor made contact with Skadi, his body vanished.

Kal'tsit, who had been standing at the corner, suddenly disappeared.

Skadi stood there, stunned, not knowing what was going on.

Wasn't what they just saw happening in real time within a dream?

Is it a kind of illusion?

"Keopatra, have you ever seen anything like this before?"

Skadi questioned Kroos.

But Kroos did not respond for a long time.

Skadi turned her head and saw Kroos staring blankly at Skadi's stomach.

"Keober?"

Skadi waved her hand in front of Kroos's eyes.

Kroos then realized what was happening.

"Huh?! Doctor, he's escaped!"

"It should be said that it disappeared."

It seems that Kroos has never experienced this situation either.

"You were looking at me just now. Is there something on me?"

"No...no, Kroos didn't look at Skadi."

Kroos shook his head.

"Ceobe is looking at the jar in the doctor's hand."

Is there a problem?

“Keober, I’ve seen that jar before. Keober feels very familiar.”

Kroos squinted and thought for a long time, but in the end he could only lower his head in frustration.

"But Kroos can't remember."

Skadi reached out and ruffled Kroos's hair.

The golden fur brushed against Skadi's hand, giving her a comfortable feel that she couldn't bear to put down.

"It's okay, if you can't remember, then don't think about it. Let's keep going and find a campfire first."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing the campfire, Krobe's eyes widened and he perked up.

"For the barbecue!"

415. Statue

The sound of footsteps echoed through the cabin, but there was not even a faint sound of wind.

The sounds of breathing, footsteps, and the rustling of their clothes filled the cabin, making any noise feel threatening to them.

The Undead, the Greyhound, and W together entered the cabin to begin their exploration.

According to Greyhound and W, they can probably stay in the dream a little longer before returning to reality.
