Nightmare Corrosion

boom

The train roared past a border town, leaving two figures far behind.

The mentor was still wearing a gray suit and had an elegant face. Simon followed him obediently with his eyelids lowered.

This is an extremely remote town, with wind and sand blowing around from time to time. The houses are dilapidated, the vegetation is sparse, and the residents are vicious.

Simon glanced around with his peripheral vision and saw that near the shabby platform, some residents wearing tattered and dirty clothes, like scavengers, slowly gathered around. There were old and young, men and women, expressions on their faces. There's something vaguely weird about it.

It was like seeing a little sheep crawling into a wolf's den.

Boom!

Suddenly, the instructor lightly stamped his foot, and Simon felt an invisible wave suddenly spread away. The surrounding residents were suddenly shaken, with fear on their faces, and some panicked and stepped back. In the blink of an eye, Disappear behind the house.

But Simon could feel that countless eyes were still looking at them hiddenly, filled with countless malicious intentions.

"This is the outermost perimeter. They will attack any strangers you encounter for the first time. Kill a few less when you come out in the future, otherwise the patrols will be attracted."

The mentor whispered to him, then said no more, and walked straight forward. Simon quickly followed behind, and walked with the mentor to the middle of the town, when a gray well appeared in his eyes.

"stay close."

The instructor kept walking and gave instructions. Before Simon could react, he suddenly jumped towards the mouth of the well!

"I"

Simon was stunned and heard a dull plop sound coming from the well, like flesh suddenly hitting the hard ground and then exploding. His scalp was numb, and he suddenly heard rapid footsteps behind him.

Turning around, he seemed to see his mentor disappear, and the ferocious-looking residents poured out of the room again, holding sickles, hammers and other things in their hands, swarming towards him.

Damn it!

Simon's immediate reaction was to hold his chest, take out the Face of Blood, put it on and rush out of the siege, but he had not lost his sense of proportion after all. Thinking of his mentor's words, he immediately gritted his teeth and took a few big steps, then threw the green onion upside down into the well.

Uh-huh!

There was a violent sound of wind in his ears, and he felt like he was falling rapidly like a weight. Suddenly, a layer of bubble-like film was broken, and the darkness in front of him changed!

Countless flashes of different colors surrounded him, with various shapes, some like balls, some like ribbons, all fluttering like living creatures, twisting into various shapes, and he quickly passed through them. Pass.

Snapped!

There was a solid touch under his feet. After he finally came to his senses, he found that at some point, he had already landed with both feet on the ground, and the impact felt under his feet was as if he had just climbed up a few steps. Just like jumping down.

This is?

He raised his head, and what he saw was the colorful and gleaming sky, surrounded by endless green grass. The air was filled with the fragrance of plants and flowers. It was like he suddenly came to another world, and he couldn't see him jumping in at all. The wellhead.

"This is the headquarters of the original sect?"

This magical scene made Simon a little dazed, but the voice of his mentor came from next to him.

"Keep going."

"tutor?"

Simon turned his head, but could not see his mentor's figure. Only a familiar voice came from the side: "No matter what you see, these are not true. Go forward and don't go astray, otherwise I won't be able to save you. "

"But where is the front here?"

Simon looked at the colorful lights flying around him, and the green grass on the ground emitted fluorescence with his footsteps, as if he was in a fairy tale world. At a glance, there was no difference between the front, back, left, and right.

A group of butterflies with translucent wings flew out from behind him and chirped. Simon took a closer look and saw that they were actually some pretty girls the size of a thumb. They circled around him twice with their wings fluttering and suddenly moved in one direction. Fly away.

Are you leading the way for me?

He was overjoyed, but just a few steps later, a strong throbbing suddenly emerged in his heart.

It felt like a long time ago when he almost lost his footing and fell off the edge of a cliff.

"whee!"

"come!"

Those cute and cute girls like elves came back from the front and surrounded him, but Simon remained unmoved. He slowly reached into his arms, took out a bloody mask, covered his face, and looked at it again. To all sides.

The overflowing colorful light gradually faded in his eyes, and the green grass under his feet slowly disappeared, replaced by a narrow path. On both sides of him, countless huge mouths full of fangs wriggled, and long scarlet tongues protruded from them. , some tentacles poked out from the tongue, dancing in front of him and making a hissing sound.

The fishy smell filled the tip of Simon's nose, and he was only half a step away from the trail!

I know that fairy tales are all lies.

Simon couldn't stop the cold sweat from flowing out from the back of his forehead, but he was finally well-informed. With lingering fear, he took back his feet and walked quickly along the path. Soon, he saw his mentor in front of him.

"good."

The mentor nodded to Simon and didn't say much. Simon didn't ask. He had gradually understood that in the end, he still had to rely on himself in this world.

Outsiders only saw the mystery and power of the original sect, but subconsciously ignored that it was based on countless cruelty, blood and indifference.

A gathering place of countless geniuses, lunatics and butchers, it is not called the largest terrorist organization by the Federation out of thin air.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the original sect seems to practice this law.

The place where they stood was a round stone platform with a very rough surface. It was uneven when you stepped on it, and strange lines appeared on it.

Simon was observing these lines, and suddenly saw countless blue lights emerging from them, quickly sketching them, and even shining through the soles of his feet.

"What do you think the world is, Simon?"

The instructor looked calm, ignoring the rapidly expanding lines under his feet, and suddenly turned his head and asked him.

"world?"

Simon was stunned, and then said based on his own understanding: "It should be a planet. We are on a huge planet, rotating around a star. Ancient humans thought the world was infinite, and even thought it was created by gods. "

"But modern scientific research shows..."

At this point, Simon's tone suddenly stopped, and he looked at his feet and around him. He actually spoke seriously about science in such a place that seemed completely unscientific?

"A lot of times, people need to lie within themselves to find their place."

The instructor looked at him and said meaningfully. Seeing Simon's eyes widening suddenly, he grinned slightly: "Of course, I didn't mean this."

"Do you know why countless dynasties and sects have fallen since ancient times, but we are the only ones who still exist?"

Uh-huh!

A huge amount of blue light spurted out from the soles of their feet, engulfing them whole, even dissolving and evaporating.

Only the instructor's slightly agitated voice floated slowly.

"Because we control a world!"
