However, with the help of a large amount of magical energy substances stored inside, he can still expand the space entrance that opens when the "mobile phone" stores objects to the point where large objects such as submarine airships can pass through.

Moreover, after a long period of training and practice, he himself has the spellcasting skills and total magic value above that of an intermediate wizard, and is more adept at operating the "mobile phone" to store objects.

But at this time he could only open a passage the size of a basketball and was unable to accommodate the submarine airship at all.

"Hmm..."

This was something Yang Sheng had not expected, but before thinking of countermeasures, he first released a large-scale magic wave to spread out. This was a very obscure wide-area reconnaissance spell. The magic signal that was fed back constructed the structure of this underground space in a relatively detailed manner in his mind within a few tens of seconds. There were also weak biological signals, which were not even insects like mosquitoes or cockroaches, but weaker plant biological signal reactions.

Considering the environment here, it should be a spore plant that does not require sunlight, that is, a mushroom or fungus.

"It's not very big... Several passages are too big for a submarine to pass through... But it's normal for an underground cave..."

As an old and cautious man, Yang Sheng not only wore the magic steel battle suit, but also activated the stealth, survival and magic protection functions of the suit. The headlights originally located on the chest were moved to both shoulders, but he did not turn on the headlights on his shoulders. Instead, he released several balls of [Light Magic] that took effect only more than ten meters away from the body, and flew towards several channels detected by the spell.

Although the [Dark Vision] ability has been added to the helmet, this ability is ineffective in an absolutely dark environment.

Several basketball-sized balls of light instantly illuminated the underground space as bright as day, and like flares, they kept floating in the center of the cave and quickly flew towards the distant passage.

This allowed Yang Sheng to basically see the environment here.

"Ok?"

He uttered a puzzled sound, and his body floated silently to the ground. At this time, the ball of light created by the [Light Spell] quickly faded away, and the brightness was also rapidly decreasing, and the cave soon fell into darkness again.

But Yang Sheng had manually (casting spells) switched to other magic observation modes, and with a vision similar to the black background and green image of a night vision goggles, he could take in the scene within dozens of meters around him.

It was a human skeleton that seemed to be lying on its back in a depression on the ground. No flesh was visible and it was highly skeletal. It was wearing a tourist cap on its head, a T-shirt on its upper body, jeans on its lower body, and a pair of open-toed sandals on its feet for outdoor sports.

In Yang Sheng's magical vision, he could see through the clothes to see the bones underneath, as well as the backpack under his body, and the contents of some backpacks.

come out.

"Humanity..."

"I don't see any auxiliary breathing or filtering equipment, so the air here is breathable... But considering the differences between the worlds, I'd better be careful. Who knows if the microorganisms here will be harmful to me and the visitors from another world..."

"This... the meat is decomposed too cleanly, a carnivorous fungus?"

This underground space is relatively dry, and various traces are relatively intact. Yang Sheng saw some traces on the uneven rocky ground that should have been caused by plants, but he could not see any withered or dead plant structures or tissues.

He stretched out a hand, and the human corpse floated up into the air, with some tiny bone fragments flying out from the clothes. Yang Sheng first observed the bones. Judging from the injuries and marks, it looked like the person had fallen from a height and was seriously injured. He was unable to move and finally died here due to the serious injuries.

"No weapons except a mountaineering pick?"

"This type of backpack is for outdoor adventures. There is food and water inside... Well, they should all be edible. He shouldn't have been dead for long..."

"These are...biological samples?"

As Yang Sheng explored, the things in the corpse's backpack flew out automatically one by one.

There was a head-mounted lighting fixture that looked crushed. Although some of its structures were damaged, its main functions were still intact, and the battery was still charged, so it could be turned on by pressing the switch. This crushed lamp confirmed the speculation that the deceased Yang Sheng had fallen from a height before his death.

Some canned food and water, probably enough to survive for a few days.

"So, this place is only a few days away from the ground or the supply point he selected?" Yang Sheng speculated.

A bundle of ropes and a bag of pitons.

The radio communication device also has electricity. After turning on the switch, you can hear a crackling sound.

"Is there an accomplice? Was this guy pushed down by someone?" Seeing this, Yang Sheng's thoughts diverged a little.

A well-preserved wallet contained an ID card with a bust of a middle-aged man printed on it. He looked like an Asian, and an East Asian race similar to the Chinese, but he didn't recognize any of the words on it.

Although he was not a top student, he could recognize the characters of the major countries and ethnic groups on Earth even though he could not read them. The characters on the certificate should not be the known characters on Earth, at least not those of the countries and ethnic groups he knew.

There is also a photo of a family of three. The man in the photo is the same person as the one on the ID. His wife and daughter also look East Asian, and the daughter looks only five or six years old.

Next were some tools whose uses Yang Sheng didn't know, but after seeing the last part of the items, Yang Sheng could guess the uses of these tools.

Those were some samples packaged in packaging bags... However, after carefully identifying these things, Yang Sheng changed "samples" to "collected items", because there were many repeated things among them. If the samples were collected for scientific research purposes, there would not be so many duplicates, so these things should be of great value and were collected with a purpose.

Oh, yes, these things are all fleshy plants, that is, they look like plants, but are actually made of flesh, or fungi or spores? Anyway, they are some soft, fleshy parts that look like plant roots, flowers or fruits, and some of them are filled with a lot of sticky liquid.

Those tools are portable packaging tools, such as manual vacuuming and battery edge sealing tools, etc.

"Exploring? And collecting these plants with special effects... Ugh, these things are a bit disgusting, can they be the legendary Ganoderma lucidum? But shouldn't that thing be the so-called Tai Sui? Anyway, it's either a spore plant or a fungal organism..."

Through the packaging bags, Yang Sheng did not carefully identify the general composition or effects of these things. He subconsciously gathered the bones and put them into a backpack according to categories - this backpack has a large capacity, similar to a mountaineering bag, and there is still a lot of room left after storing the bones.

However, when he subconsciously took out a storage box that he used frequently before for further storage, the storage box was stuck by the exit of the "mobile phone" which was only the size of a basketball and could not come out.

"Tsk, that's right. Right now the most important thing is to recover the submarine, and we're not sure whether we should explore this world... Why would we help others collect corpses... For example, the corpses of Jedi on Mount Everest have been kept in the original place. Due to the limited conditions, some corpses can be traced back to half a century ago, and they are all famous people with names..."

Yang Sheng complained in his heart and began to construct a magic barrier to see if he could minimize the interference of this world on him and his "cell phone" so that he could recover the submarine airship.

This corpse whose name he couldn't understand helped him confirm many things, such as the fact that it had no powerful enemies, was very close to the ground, and its age or technology was very similar to modern times.

So he basically had no scruples and just let go to do these things.

……

Yang Sheng's "mobile phone" will store some [elves] all year round. [Elves] are not flesh and blood creatures, but summoned creatures with half energy and half elemental nature, so they can be stored in the "mobile phone" in a dormant state for a long time.

With the Elf in hand, the biological welding machine function is available. In performing certain operations, it is more energy-efficient and efficient than "Alchemy", so Yang Sheng only took a few dozen minutes to complete the task.

A protective barrier with several magic crystals as nodes was constructed on the surface, and the submarine airship was successfully stored in the "mobile phone". He also took out a storage box and put the backpack containing the unknown corpse into it.

With a wave of his hand, he dispelled several spells floating in the air on the node base, and recovered them along with the crystals and storage boxes embedded on them.

Yang Sheng hesitated for a moment and did not immediately start building a teleportation array to return. Instead, his body floated up and flew towards a passage that had been explored before. During the flight, his figure faded again and he entered an invisible state.

Under the effects of [Feather Fall Technique] and [Air Barrier], the Iron Armor does not need much power to float, and only needs a little thrust to fly very fast.

There was also a handwritten map among the relics of the unknown corpse. Although the words could not be understood, the pictures were still understandable. Moreover, a journey that would take an ordinary person two or three days in such an environment would only take a few hours or even tens of minutes for Yang Sheng, who could fly, to make a round trip.

With his magical exploration skills and super sensitive senses, he was greatly surprised by the biological system in the interconnected underground caves.

There were all kinds of "succulent" plants growing on biomass similar to the Zerg fungus mats that covered the ground and cave walls, and large insect-like creatures similar to worker bees with obvious functionality. After seeing so many giant creatures, this creature, which was only a few meters in size, was just a slightly larger ordinary creature in his eyes.

There are also some low-level creatures of various shapes, some similar to goblins or dwarf orcs... should they be called "demons"?

Yang Sheng suddenly became interested in this place... He definitely didn't expect to meet a magical girl with exhausted energy and no clothes in this environment. He was simply interested in this world view where the ground should be a modern society, but underground is a space biochemical or demon world environment.

Following the instructions on the relic map, he didn't spend much effort to find the relic owner's foothold in this underground space, or should it be called a secret base? It was a cave located in the middle of a rock wall in an inconspicuous and remote corner, with a small entrance and a cover.

Judging from the layout inside, there are indeed traces of two people's lives, and there are two sets of daily necessities, but they should have been abandoned, and there is a light layer of dust everywhere on the furnishings. There are many things stored in the base, including food and water, clothes and bedding, some medical supplies, and even a generator.

Yang Sheng also found some notes, which looked like they were for research. Although he couldn't understand the words, there were a lot of handwritten pictures on them. They were all of some fleshy plants found in this underground ecosystem. They were probably those that had some special effects.

Yang Sheng had seen many entities along the way. Although he still hadn't made a careful identification, based on their soft and fleshy appearance, some of which were filled with transparent viscous liquid, he judged that most of them were related to male function...

So is there a magical girl who comes here regularly to clean up monsters?

With this question... no, it was a more rigorous and noble spirit of exploration, Yang Sheng continued to explore according to the instructions on the map.

But before that, he first systematically explored the entire underground space where the "demon creatures" lived. Although the passage was winding for dozens of kilometers and had a three-dimensional structure, it only took a few hours for him who could perform high-speed stealth flight and large-scale magical exploration.

Apart from some corpses that had turned into bones, no trace of human beings was found.

……

Yang Sheng came to the ground through a unique passage.

This passage is very narrow and steep, and most of the time only allows one person to pass through. If there were no traces of artificial construction on the road, it would be impossible for ordinary people to pass through it barehanded. There are also some deadly traps.

For example, if there is a very deep crack, people who fall into it will be stuck in the deep and narrow place and cannot go up or down.

This should be the exclusive underground passage for the owner of the relic and another companion, because no signs of activity of the demon sacred objects or other large creatures were found along the way. Due to the scarcity of food or the demon sacred objects living underground, even mice were hardly seen. Common creatures with strong vitality, such as mice and cockroaches, suddenly increased in number near the exit.

The location of the surface exit surprised Yang Sheng a little. It was not a cave in the mountains, but on the wall of a drainage cement hole on the wall of a small river embankment in the city.

I really don't know how the two original owners of the relics found this place.

Oh, by the way, another main passage leading to the surface is a cave that should be located in the suburbs of the city. Yang Sheng passed by there during a flying reconnaissance and used magical reconnaissance methods to "see" some military facilities outside the cave, and there were many armed personnel stationed there.

In the nearby underground space, many corpses of demon creatures could be found, some in human form and some in insect form, all killed by bullets and bombs, which made him feel quite regretful... No, he was happy for the humans here, because it seemed that the human government here was not so useless as to ignore this nest of harmful creatures.

The lights on the surface were already on. Not to mention the cover of night, even in broad daylight, Yang Sheng could openly appear in the sky above the city because no one or any detective means could discover him.

city

The city is a bustling scene with tall buildings and heavy traffic, and is also filled with light pollution from a modern technological society.

Many high-rise buildings have large display screens or billboards, most areas on the ground are filled with various lighting, and the traffic on the streets, because of the headlights, forms a flowing light band effect when viewed in mid-air.

These scenes did not surprise Yang Sheng at all. What surprised him was that he could actually understand the language here.

Many large screens outside buildings were playing programs and advertisements. He still couldn't understand the words on them and on various billboards and banners, but he could surprisingly understand the language - Chinese, and the grammar was exactly the same as he knew, except that the emphasis was a little strange, a bit like the Taiwanese accent, and there were a little more interjections such as ah, ya, ne, and yo.

Look carefully at those characters again. They are Chinese characters and pictograms. They are not the symbols of Yanwen or District 11. Most of the characters conform to the rules of radicals or internal and external structures.

Yang Sheng, squatting on the top of a building in Spider-Man's posture, pondered:

"So this is a parallel world with completely different writing systems but basically the same Chinese language? I always feel like the accents of these people on TV are so weird... Tsk tsk, so, am I not illiterate?"

"But, if I think positively, wouldn't I not have to learn a new foreign language from scratch?"

After landing on a street sign that looked like a pedestrian street, I observed the pedestrians on the street from the narrow alley between two buildings... Well, there were people with black hair and black eyes, and I didn't know if they were descendants of Yan and Huang, but at least they looked like that. There were white people with blond hair and blue eyes, Indians with dark skin, Caucasians with brown hair, high eyebrows and deep eyes, and Eastern Europeans or Northern Europeans with red hair and abundant body hair. Of course, there were also mixed-race people of all kinds.

The clothing is a bit retro, but the combination of jacket + shirt + jeans is still very common.

The language was still mainly Chinese, but it was also mixed with a few foreign languages. For a moment, Yang Sheng was unable to tell exactly what kind of world this was.

However, one thing is certain, the ethnic characteristics of the people here do not exceed his understanding of the Earth, and there are no features such as pointed ears or colorful hair.

Sometimes there are, but you can tell at a glance that it is dyed.

0003

Yang Sheng hid himself, leaning against the wall in his "God Muscle Iron Suit", and thought to himself while looking at the people on the street:

"Although the atmosphere seems a bit strange, this seems to be just an ordinary modern society..."

Seeing the clothes worn by people on the street, the style of the buildings, neon lights, and billboards, he added in his mind:

"...It seems to be from the 1970s or 1980s... No, maybe even earlier, the style of the 1940s or 1950s..."

"The large screen on the building is made up of hundreds of electromechanical displays spliced ​​together. It can see the mobile phones in the hands of pedestrians, but they are not smartphones, just mobile phones with call functions."

"There are no surveillance cameras on the streets..."

"These performances do not seem to indicate a strict security screening system, which means that the identity information problem is not that serious."

"As long as the language is fine, you don't have to worry about being recognized as an outsider..."

Thinking of the underground "demon world" and the strange interference phenomenon, he continued to think in his mind:

"…Ordinary worlds without magic are not so complete. There are some supernatural phenomena… well, special phenomena."

He always used accurate words. After comparing those primitive-looking humanoid demon creatures and those large insect-like creatures that looked like worker bees, he felt that they had nothing to do with the supernatural. Including those various kinds of succulent plants, which could only be described as "special" at best.

"In a world where technology and surveillance methods are backward..."

When he thought of this, Yang Sheng took out his "mobile phone" and looked at it, then clicked on the card settings to check the available information.

"There's no signal network, and I guess there's no wired network either..."

He subconsciously looked up at the dark sky.

"If there is satellite technology... there is a high probability that there is, but it is hard to say whether there is satellite communication technology. Moreover, a comprehensive database network is something that only exists when the Internet is relatively mature. Even if there is Internet technology here, if it is early and immature, such as the ones in the 1980s and 1990s, then apart from professional databases, there may not be any general information useful for understanding the world..."

"So... if you want to learn about this world quickly, let's go back to the old way, the library?"

"Or maybe..."

A playful smile appeared on Yang Sheng's face.

……

A wide-brimmed soft hat, an old cotton T-shirt that had been worn for several years, but unfortunately it was not washed clean, it would have been better if it had a little smell of sweat, a pair of jeans that had been washed to a bleached color, and an old canvas backpack stuffed with some packets of succulent plants that he had picked up from the corpse whose name he didn't recognize.

In terms of appearance, Yang Sheng immediately turned into a guy who looked like he had just returned from an adventure in the wild.

Of course, the details still need to be adjusted. For example, an illusion that only works on the face changes his appearance a little, and he has a beard. He looks like the image in the photo of the deceased, but not exactly the same.

After brushing the deceased's wallet five times [cleaning technique], Yang Sheng felt comfortable touching the wallet with his hands and put it in the trouser pocket behind his buttocks.

Details determine success or failure. He has not worn it for a long time.
