After Shen Ge and Li Xiang discussed it, they planned to go to Donghuan Lake. After the weirdo who "looked like" him appeared, he would not feel at ease if he didn't get rid of him.
According to what the weirdo in the mirror said before, those "copies" of Shen Ge should all be dead, and the weirdo in the mirror is the last one.
Although the enemy's words had little credibility, Shen Ge believed that there was no need for the weirdo in the mirror to lie in that situation. The only possibility was that his level was too low and he was not exposed to higher-level issues.
No matter what, Shen Ge must go to Donghuan Lake to take a look and try to find the weird man, or solve the weird passage at the bottom of the lake, otherwise he will not be able to leave with peace of mind.
After Jiang Peiwen finished her treatment, Shen Ge entered the research room and took away a rot-blood spider from Xiaoqi's classmate, and then headed to Donghuan Lake.
After entering Donghuan Lake, Shen Ge suddenly felt strong fluctuations in strange energy around him. It was obvious that this area was covered by the strange space again.
And it is not an ordinary strange space, at least it is an overlapping space of three or more levels. As soon as he stepped into Donghuan Lake, he was pulled to the lawn near Donghuan Lake in the blink of an eye. The sky with thick clouds in the afternoon also became lifeless. , very much like the end of the dream world.
"System, scan the surrounding area."
[This area is affected by special effects and cannot be detected. 】
"Yo?" Shen Ge also encountered this kind of situation last time at Donghuan Lake. He thought it was caused by the weird man in the mirror, but now it seems that it is not that simple?
If it was really the weirdo in the mirror who did it, then the "shielding" here should be lifted with his death, but now there is still a shielding effect. Either the weirdo hiding in the dark is causing trouble, or there is something hidden here. Shielding effect stuff.
Shen Ge couldn't help but think of the mysterious passage that appeared at the bottom of Donghuan Lake that Zhang Hu mentioned. It is possible that the "shielding" here was caused by that mysterious passage.
"Can you detect what's causing the obstruction? Weird? Weird? Or is it related to the dream world?" Shen Ge asked.
[An effect similar to "Characteristic: Not coming out" was detected and the detection was blocked. 】
This answer again?
This is exactly the same answer that Shen Ge got when he came to Donghuan Lake to investigate last time. However, he later fell into the dream world. In addition, after solving the strange man in the mirror, Shen Ge thought that the situation here was solved, so he did not continue to investigate Donghuan Lake. , this place has also been sealed off as the research area of Quanlong Mountain Base.
Previously, Shen Ge thought that his lost "blood" caused the incident of the strange man in the mirror, and judging from the information fed back by the strange man in the mirror, this was indeed the case.
But after this kind of prompt appeared again in the system, Shen Ge knew that the matter was by no means that simple. Combined with the "actions" of the weirdo organization and Dr. Chen during this period, he was even more sure of this, and even suspected that this series of operations was Targeted at him.
[It is just that the detection signal in this area seems to be "closed" in the non-exiting realm, not the opponent's ability that is "characteristic: not able to exit". 】
The system's detection results were exactly the same as last time, which proved that Shen Ge's guess was correct.
"Have any weird characteristics been detected?" Shen Ge asked the system again.
[No strange characteristics have been detected yet. 】
"The problem can only be the passage at the bottom of the lake." Shen Ge had a target, so he didn't need to explore the surroundings, but went straight to the passage at the bottom of the lake.
Shen Ge stood by the lake and looked around. At this time, the lake was so turbid that it was impossible to see the bottom, and there were waves of strange black mist floating on the lake, which looked like the late-night lake scene of a famous scenic spot in a horror movie.
After the system detected the surroundings and found no strange traces, there were only two options before Shen Ge. One was to directly drive out of the strange realm and condense the invisible barrier and open a way in the water, the other was to find a boat. First lock on the place with the strongest treacherous energy reaction, and then condense the invisible barrier.
The consumption of the former's uncanny energy is naturally greater than that of the latter. Although Shen Ge is now at level 5 and his consumption of uncanny energy is much less than before, the supplies of uncanny energy in his hands have been exhausted after coming out of the dream world.
You said what if everything is garbage after more than ten times. If you can't save enough, you will have to waste your life. If Shen Geru didn't draw the silkworms or even the spiritual apple, it's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't get it. More than 60,000 system points were all drawn, and the entire Donghuan Lake bottom channel and the world were "emptied out".
Of course, this is just a joke. After all, the lottery mechanism for system recovery products is completely different from the lottery with system points. The former is drawn from various fragmented worlds, while the latter is just the transfer of surrounding objects in the current world, and there are many restrictions.
This is why Shen Ge seldom uses system points to draw prizes since he became accustomed to using his own abilities to fight with the Red Mist Armor.
Although with the Spirit Apple, Shen Ge no longer had to worry about the consumption of magic energy, he still decided to find a boat and approach the center of the lake while using system scanning and the magic eye to find the entrance to the passage.
The question is, how much is the system point worth? With more than 60,000 system points in hand, Shen Ge simply doesn't care about the 100-point scanning fee each time.
Shen Ge had been to Donghuan Lake several times before it was affected by strange things. He had been here again after the strange events occurred, and he was already familiar with this place.
The shore of the lake is eerie. The cruise ships at the boat rental point look like they have been abandoned for several years. They are dusty and rusty. They are locked together by chains. They sway and creak when the wind blows.
Fortunately, Shen Ge was used to this weird environment and muffled sounds. He stepped on a boat and rowed towards the center of the lake.
Under the dim sky and turbid black water, as he walked toward the center of the lake, Shen Ge had the illusion that he was slowly being swallowed by Donghuan Lake.
When he rowed the boat to the center of the lake, Shen Ge found that from the time he entered the lake until now, there was not even a slight fluctuation on the water surface. The muddy water reflected the dim sky, making people feel an oppressive feeling as if the sky was falling.
"Oh."
Shen Ge snorted softly. This familiar feeling made him realize that he was being surrounded by the black fog of strange energy. As he moved, the black fog of strange energy from the entire lake was gathering here.
"So it seems that the last time I was affected by the weird man in the mirror, was it because of the impact of the strange energy? It was just that the rating was only level 3 at that time, and the strange energy was not enough to withstand the erosion of the strange energy here, so I had some hallucinations. "Chen Ge can clearly feel that the strange energy here still wants to corrode him, but he is now at level 5, already a high-level strange existence, and the strange energy of both sides has entered the stage of competition and cancellation.
Shen Ge didn't notice this at first, but noticed that as he got closer to the center of the lake, his own ghost energy continued to decrease. Only then did he realize that the ghost energy in his body was resisting the erosion of the surrounding black mist of ghost energy.
Shen Ge's physique has changed since the fusion of the system. He is half human and half weird. Even though he cannot intuitively feel the erosion of the weird energy like ordinary humans, his half-monster physique makes him susceptible to the erosion of the weird energy. Instead of falling directly into hallucinations, it will automatically release its own magical energy to resist.
This is a "passive skill". Just like platelets will actively coagulate when a wound bleeds in the body, Shen Ge will actively resist when being corroded by strange energy.
Now that he has determined the location in the lake where the treacherous energy will be released, Shen Ge no longer wastes time and directly moves out of the treacherous realm, condensing invisible barriers to block himself.
Condensing the invisible barrier consumed some of his guile energy, but after Shen Ge was wrapped by the invisible barrier, and the black mist of guile energy was blocked by the invisible barrier, he was no longer affected by the erosion of guile energy and his guile energy was reduced.
Then, Shen Gege raised his hand and held it in the air to condense the invisible barrier. The center of the lake in front seemed to be pushed away by an invisible big hand.
The lake water was "swishing" to both sides. At the bottom of the lake, there was a black vortex leading to the bottom. This strange "passage" reminded Shen Ge of the one he passed through when he went to the "future" on Sakura Island. A strange, blood-red mouth.
But the strange thing is that Shen Ge clearly remembered that the last time he came to Donghuan Lake to investigate, he asked Xiao Qi to use rotten blood tentacles and blood spiders to search the bottom of the lake. It was also at that time that dozens of corpses were found, including many Soldiers of the Special Strategy Department.
It was also at that time that the "concept" of the world outside the world gradually became clear.
Just as Shen Ge was about to jump from the ship to the big pit ahead and get close to the whirlpool passage to check, he found that the black mist of strange energy around him was getting thicker and thicker. The sky, which was originally as dark and oppressive as the apocalypse in a dream world, now A thick layer of "dark clouds" gathered.
This "dark cloud" looked very familiar to Shen Ge, resembling the "big whale" he had been chasing in the dream world a few days ago!
Shen Ge immediately opened his strange eyes and looked towards the sky, cooperating with the system's scanning, but strangely he still didn't notice any strange traces in this space.
Something's wrong! (End of chapter)
