Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

"The analyzer has been reconstructed and is analyzing the target environment data."

"Target environment data analysis is completed and comparison is in progress..."

"Found it, Master, it's right here - it matches the described object 92% of the time. In the actual search only through verbal description, this is an object with extremely high consistency."

Since Lily and Lan Zhirou share the same electronic brain chip, they are connected with each other. When Lily determines the target location, Lan Zhirou immediately understands where Lily is referring to.

It was a place that had been entangled by countless vines, but behind the vines, an extremely unconventional cement building was revealed.

"Huh... In that case, let's just take action. Even if we act outside, there is probably no chance of getting there alive..." After Lan Zhirou muttered to herself, she picked up the ax and cut away all the layers of vines. Split.

As all the dead branches and vines fell down, the underground passage hidden behind them was also exposed. Since there was almost no light at all, Lan Zhirou couldn't see clearly what was going on in the underground passage, but she subconsciously felt that it was bottomless.

There was a piece of paper stuck near the first step of the underground passage. Lan Zhirou lay down and looked closely before realizing it was a notice.

【~Notice about underground passage~】

[About the underground passage, this is an underground passage "we" created that can lead to the rare botanical garden safely and quickly. This passage is much safer than walking on the ground. Those animals dare not come here because they are afraid us. 】

[This road was opened up by "we" with our lives. "We" all sacrificed voluntarily and drove away the roots of "it" from here with countless human lives that can no longer be called human lives. "It" "The roots spread all over the abyss, but they will never be able to encroach on even an inch of the land here. 】

[Perhaps you are looking for the darkest and deepest place hidden in the abyss, and this path will guide you. 】

[If you want to use this underground passage, don’t be afraid no matter what you see. Nothing here will hurt you, and... please show the most basic respect to the heroes who lie here. Because of "our" sacrifice, you were able to use this safe passage. 】

[This notice is always right. Although "we" have passed away, "our" souls will always protect this place. "It" cannot tamper with the rules here. "We" chose to fight "it" until the end. A moment, no matter what the cost. "We" will always protect mankind until either "us" or "it" completely disappears from this world. 】

[You can use the light source here, and the shadow here cannot be touched by "its" will. 】

["It" is afraid of this place, but you don't need to be afraid of this place. "We" are human beings, we will be until our death, and we will always be. 】

[The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage. May the fire of mankind never be extinguished, and may the will of the heroic spirits in this world last forever. 】

[Always remember that we are all human beings, no matter what shape we take, we are not plants, we are not animals, and we never will be. 】

The last "we" is not in quotation marks. Perhaps this "we" also includes the person who is reading the notice.

Having made up her mind, Lan Zhirou stepped into the entrance of the underground passage. Lily also turned into a point of light, illuminating the way forward for Lan Zhirou like a bright flashlight.

The first time she entered the passage and saw the whole scene, Lan Zhirou almost vomited.

Did I come to Shituoling?

I saw in the underground passage that "skeletons are like mountains, bones are like forests, human hair is connected into felt pieces, and human skin and flesh are rotted into mud." It is exactly the same as the scene of the lion camel cave on the lion camel ridge described in Journey to the West.

Fortunately, she remembered what the notice said: "We all sacrificed our lives voluntarily to fight against it, so please maintain the most basic respect for the heroes here."

After gently bending down and bowing to these remains, Lan Zhirou continued to look around.

The skulls and mutilated remains of countless people were embedded in the earth wall, which looked particularly permeable under Lily's light. The roots of trees that had been dead for unknown ages were entangled in the cracked earth wall, and the incisions looked like they were cut. It's like cutting off all the life with one knife.

"Master, your sanity seems to be gradually recovering, and it is expected to return to its peak within 10 minutes."

When she walked in here, Lan Zhirou felt that some kind of pressure on herself suddenly disappeared. At that moment, she also believed what the notice on the door said. This place is protected by various unwavering qualities of human beings. Even the influence of "Tsubaki" cannot touch the place full of brilliance!

As Lan Zhirou went deeper into the underground passage, the remains of some lizards... to be precise, half-lizards or lizardmen began to appear on the walls, and bones similar to tails were scattered around the road.

"The last words left on that notice are telling me that lizards are also transformed from humans? Even if they have been corrupted into lizards, you are still fighting for humans?" Looking at the human remains buried in the Lan Zhirou muttered to herself in a daze as she found the remains of a half-lizard. She seemed to understand why there were always lizards protecting her along the way.

"But why...lizards are only friendly when they are rational. Judging from Mo Jinnian's situation, the corruption is not completed immediately...if they are really to protect humans, those people should not Is it also within the protection range..." As the fog shrouding the problem gradually dissipated, Lan Zhirou realized that solving the problem did not yield answers, but instead seemed to increase the number of problems.

Lan Zhirou walked towards the end of the passage while thinking about various new mysteries.

Soon Lan Zhirou saw a light that did not belong in the passage, which also heralded the end of this long underground road.

Lan Zhirou stepped onto the exit steps and saw a scene completely different from the "outside world". The moon in the sky was no longer as bright and flawless as outside, but a red moon.

The scarlet moon hung high in the sky, as if telling all comers to stay away.

A huge building blocked the exit of the underground passage, and countless fog surrounded it, making Lan Zhirou feel as if it didn't exist at all.

The wooden sign at the door of the building wrote its name in dark red fonts, just as Lan Zhirou guessed.

"Reptile House".

There are also rules for the reptile house posted next to it. These rules are very simple and direct.

【Reptile House Rules】

【1.The Reptile House does not exist. 】

【2.Do not enter the reptile house. 】

[3. The Reptile House really does not exist. 】
