This is the fifth underground floor.

Lin Yi was very clear about the exact floor where he fell.

The distance was most likely the sixth floor at the bottom, and now he was only separated by a thin layer of concrete and reinforced concrete.

The monster buried in the rubble is unlikely to be killed by this attack, and I don't know the specific situation. Well, now, I really have to meet up with my teammates above first... No, that's not right, the place where I fell seems...

In his mind, he recalled the surveillance cameras he had just seen in the main control room, and the locations on the map corresponding to those surveillance cameras. Then he looked around and towards where he was.

After a brief thought, Lin Yi took a step forward and walked into the corridor, where he saw a tightly closed dark door.

boom!

Lin Yi broke the door lock with a single shot, stepped into the house and looked forward.

The pink-haired girl who was sleeping in the incubator was floating quietly in front of him.

Chapter 26: Ancient Mingdijue~

The girl was floating quietly in the nutrient solution of the culture chamber, with her eyes closed and not moving.

The girl seemed to be dead, or just sleeping, waiting to be awakened. In front of Lin Yi's eyes, she remained silent, without any sound being detected.

The entangled red threads are connected to each other, circling around the girl's body and converging on a red floating eye.

This eyeball was floating beside the girl. For some reason, just by seeing this eyeball, she felt as if she was being stared at, being stared at by this girl who was sleeping with her eyes closed.

Who is this girl?

Why was she imprisoned in this place?

What does she mean by those things that have been transformed into inhuman things?

Lin Yi frowned, thinking about the possible answers, but he couldn't make an accurate judgment immediately.

He took a few steps closer and looked down at the control panel in front of the incubator. After studying it for a while, Lin Yi confirmed that he had no idea how to operate it, so he had to give up. But soon, he found some words carved on the wall of the room, which seemed to be left by the researchers at the time.

[Date: Day 6 (part of the handwriting is no longer legible)]

[The fourth time I successfully summoned, I obtained a life from another world, but it was unable to carry the phantom, it was too fragile]

Compared with the text seen in the annex, the text is more messy and difficult to read. Some of them cannot even be understood with the translation function provided by the Savior System. I don't know if it is because the date of these texts is probably relatively late, so that the researchers at that time could hardly even carve words on the wall.

【Date: Day 3】

[The first summon, still unrequited life, too fragile, unable to see the flame phantom, unable to bear the fire of life]

[■■ is too fragile, the life we ​​summon■■ is too fragile, useless■ waste,■ too much]

[Need to go in, we need to go deeper and bring those who can carry the flame shadow and the reborn fire to the world of the living]

Lin Yi saw at least a dozen messy dates and summoning records. In most of the records, these researchers who turned into monsters summoned only various dead objects. The very few living things seemed to be animals such as rabbits and puppies. There was no way to meet their needs.

【■Issue: No.■■■】

[Summon an individual with special powers, female, telepathic, powerful, able to fuse flames of equal weight]

[In order to control this body, I sacrificed my companions. Its existence is strange. If it is not equipped, I cannot determine whether it can carry the fire.]

[Temporarily contained, 3-day trial note]

It was not until the last few records that Lin Yi found records that might point to the sleeping girl in front of him.

Judging from the results of piecing together these messy words, this girl seemed to be quite extraordinary. Not only was she able to resist the erosion and damage to her body caused by the dim flames, but she also fought a fierce battle with the monsters that summoned her and eliminated some of them.

Perhaps the reason why the fifth underground floor looked so dilapidated was the result of the girl's battle with those monsters.

"To inject the spark of rebirth?"

Lin Yi approached the culture chamber in front of him, placed his fingers on the glass, closed his eyes, and tried to sense the other person's breathing and heartbeat.

puff-

The concentrated senses gradually spread to the depths of the incubator.

Faintly, I seemed to feel a certain vibration, a vibration that only belongs to life, something that only living things have.

The girl trapped in the incubator, sleeping quietly, is still alive.

Moreover, her body did not show any signs of being eroded by the power of the Fire of Rebirth. It seemed that the "fire" that the monsters intended to inject into this girl had not yet been truly integrated into her body.

In other words, is it because this girl is about to be experimented on by those monsters and integrated into the fire that the Savior System sent the Savior into this world?

Once the spark of the so-called fire of rebirth is truly injected into a suitable body, will the destruction of this civilization become irreversible?

In that case, it would be best to take this girl out of here.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi turned his head and looked at the operating panel that controlled the culture chamber, which he had no idea how to operate.

Then he made a decision, turned around and threw a punch, hitting the culture chamber in front of him directly. With a clear "crack" sound, the explosive force smashed the culture chamber into pieces on the spot.

The nutrient solution immediately gushed out, and although Lin Yi dodged in time, his legs were still slightly wet, and the girl had already fallen out. Lin Yi stretched out his hand and held her waist, and the whole person fell softly on Lin Yi.

She was so light, much lighter than Iino, probably about the same weight as Suzuran. Holding her in my arms was like holding a large doll. This feeling was even stronger when considering her delicate face and closed eyes.

It seems that she is not awake yet. Anyway, let's take her away from here first. We can't let these monsters complete the ritual.

Thinking this, Lin Yi took a step forward and walked outside. As soon as he took a step, he stopped, lowered his head, and looked at the girl in his arms with a puzzled expression.

I always felt like she was staring at me just now?

Frowning, Lin Yi looked at the girl who was sleeping quietly with her eyes closed in his arms. After a brief thought, he continued to move forward without paying any attention.

Then, the feeling of being watched arose again, causing Lin Yi to lower his head and look at the girl in his arms.

The girl still had her eyes closed, lying quietly in Lin Yi's arms without moving.

"...You are actually awake, right?"

Lin Yi looked at the girl and asked.

"..."

no answer.

The pink-haired girl just lay there quietly, seemingly still sleeping soundly.

Lin Yi's eyes swept across the girl's cheek, then across her flat chest, and... well, seemed to feel a hint of chill? In short, he scanned her body and finally successfully found the problem.

Lin Yi's sight was fixed on the eyes connected by the thin red line wrapped around the girl.

At this moment, this eye was staring at Lin Yi, following his gaze and looking directly at him.

So she is awake after all?

Although it was not clear what species this girl was, Lin Yi was more or less certain that this strange third eye should also be part of the girl's body. Well, speaking of it, this eye looked quite large. What would it feel like if I held it in my hand and squeezed it?

"..."

The girl in his arms was still sleeping soundly.

Well, since this person is still in the "asleep" state, should we give it a try?

After all, this thing looks so big, and I really can't help but want to try it.

"Although you are my savior, please don't do such a disrespectful thing..."

Then, a slightly cold girl's voice was heard.

Moving his sight upwards, Lin Yi's gaze met the girl's pink and purple eyes. He could see the helplessness in the girl's eyes. It was obvious that she didn't really want to establish communication with Lin Yi, but had to "wake up" because of Lin Yi's deliberate probing idea.

"Now that you're awake, can you leave?"

Seeing the girl wake up, Lin Yi started to ask. To be honest, it was very troublesome to hold her without being able to use weapons. If she could move normally and walk by herself, Lin Yi still hoped that she could get off him.

"… A little bit. I still have some trouble controlling my body. I should be able to recover in a minute or two."

The girl's brows furrowed slightly, and the helplessness in her eyes became even stronger.

"And, as for my name, you can just call me Komeiji Kaku."

Then, as if she had anticipated Lin Yi's next question, the girl spoke again in a clear, cold and gentle voice.

Chapter 27: The girl's information~

Komeiji Kaku, this is the name the girl called herself.

The girl remained silent about her origins and other related information. She only told Lin Yi that her name was Gu Mingdi Jue, and that was all.

"You can see those monsters. Do you have any special abilities? We are here to stop these monsters. I think there should be some areas where we can cooperate. At least I saved you once. It should be okay for you to tell me some information, right?"

After walking out of the room, the petite girl named Gu Ming Di Jue took half a minute to slow down under the support of Lin Yi, and then she could walk on her own. So Lin Yi stood in front of her, looked at her seriously and asked.

This girl is not an ordinary human being. This strange temperament makes Lin Yi feel that she is some kind of non-human existence. However, this kind of thing is not important in the current situation. He is more concerned about how to solve the crisis here and the luminous body under the building, the power entity transformed from the illusory projection of the fire of rebirth.

The fire of rebirth.

Or its former name, Dianhuo.

Lin Yi didn't know whether there was any deep meaning in this title. When he resonated with that power, he just felt endless despair and anger. He only realized that the essence of this fire was the destruction called for by the most desperate person.

Destroy all life, all existence, and all things in the countless universes today, returning all things to the chaos before their birth.

This is what this dim flame represents.

And those researchers who have been captured by this force must have now reached the most critical step. If they cannot be stopped at this step, then this civilization will probably come to an end.

Therefore, at this moment, nothing other than the crisis itself is important for the time being. Lin Yi only hopes that this girl who was summoned by those monsters and then imprisoned can provide him with information that can be of effective help.

"..."

Gu Mingdijue looked at Lin Yi calmly, some emotions seemed to emerge in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed them.

"I do know something about them. I can see them, and I can see the ominous flames, which are far worse and more terrible than any flame I have ever seen."

"Being able to see those flames requires a specific talent. To see something that doesn't exist, in a sense, it can be said that one needs an ability between nothingness and reality, or the ability to blend between fantasy and reality."

"I can see it because my existence itself is related to non-existent fantasy things, and your companion who is still upstairs has the ability to directly observe fantasy things. From this point of view, it can be understood that both she and I can become the host of this projected fire. Once we become the host, yes, this world will inevitably be destroyed, because the fire of rebirth will use the host's body to completely release its power."

In a cold voice, Gu Mingdijue spoke calmly to Lin Yi, telling him what he knew.

"Originally, this flame wouldn't need such a troublesome method to spread, but because what descended here was only an illusory projection, just the residual power that escaped from the main body of the Fire of Rebirth, this civilization was able to be delayed until now instead of being destroyed directly half a year ago."

"So if you want to prevent the disaster from happening, you must not let your companion fall into their hands. Also, if you want to solve the problem completely, go to the backup elevator. The road from the fifth underground floor to the sixth underground floor is impassable. The flames have completely blocked the road. Although it seems to be no different from the surroundings, as long as you go up, you will be burned on the spot and become the same kind as them."

It must be said, if this girl hadn't told Lin Yi that there was such a thing between the fifth and sixth floors underground, Lin Yi might have really gone down the stairs directly after confirming that it was safe above.

However, even if they said that, the sixth underground floor was the closest to the light ball. It would not be easy to go down from the backup elevator. Moreover, Lin Yi did not forget that they still had a very troublesome enemy to deal with. The three-meter-tall monster had not yet been confirmed dead or alive. Lin Yi did not think that the previous conflict was enough to deal with that thing.

But then again, what exactly is that thing?

It is completely different from other invisible monsters. It can be directly observed by everyone, can autonomously reduce the lethality of the flames on its body, and obviously has a certain degree of self-awareness and thinking ability. Lin Yi thinks it is necessary to figure out what this weird thing is.

"That was a...failed attempt."

This time, Gu Mingji Jue paused for a moment before answering.

"Although it is only an incomplete fragment, I did see something. Among those humans who were transformed into followers, there was one person with the strongest willpower and who persisted the longest."

"He found that he had no way to bring relief to everyone, so he chose to try other paths. But he ultimately failed. After all consciousnesses merged into one, his ego was simply unable to withstand the highly consistent will of the assimilated group. As a result, he was torn out and underwent further mutations. He is now essentially no different from other things, except that his degree of transformation is lower in comparison."

After a pause, Gu Mingji Jue's tone became fluent again, and his expression looked a little complicated.

"You mean, that thing is Dr. Ira?"

Lin Yi realized the key to what the girl said.

"No, it's just a monster."

Shaking his head slightly, Gu Mingji Jue, whose body had regained the ability to move, turned around and walked to the side of the corridor.

"Do you have a way to get out of here?"

Lin Yi looked at the other person's back and asked again.

"I have reasons to return to my original place. I don't intend to fight for the people of this world with my life, so I won't go with you. Of course, you saved me, and I don't think that this kind of favor can be resolved with just a few pieces of information. When you reach the last critical moment, if I am still here, I might come to help you."

"Of course, that will be a matter for the time being. As for now, you should first find a way to safely reach the sixth underground floor, the place closest to the [Flame Shadow]. That is the key to solving all these problems."

"Also, it's best not to mess around here. There are a lot of invisible flames on the sixth underground floor. Those powers are essentially bound to the sixth floor because the fire has not yet found a host. If you randomly destroy the ground to open up the fifth and sixth floors, the flames may rush directly to your face as soon as you explode."

As she spoke, the girl slowly walked away.

Obviously, Miss Gu Mingji Jue didn't have any feelings about the survival of human civilization in another world, but this was natural. It was impossible for everyone to fight for strangers like a savior. At least the other party responded positively to his good intentions, provided Lin Yi with useful information, and was willing to promise to continue to help, which was enough.
