Abyssal Kingdom

Wei An had already planned the route before he left. Instead of taking the regular highway, he took a shortcut. Anyway, no matter how difficult the road was, it would not be a problem for Guiling.

After reading the information for a while, Wei An didn't forget to calculate the time, and in due course, he booked a villa in a scenic area within the Beishan boundary with no contact throughout.

There are a large area of ​​semi-developed scenic spots near Beishan, which provide some holiday villas with high concealment and complete service facilities. This place has inconvenient transportation, and guests can stay for a long time without touching anyone during the whole process. They can do whatever they want, even if something goes wrong No one called the police, which is very suitable for the current relationship between him and Guiling.

Wei An repeatedly told him not to disturb him, and the other party seemed to understand that he should have dealt with hundreds of similar requests.

Guiling drove all the way away from Tongyun City, he drove very fast.

There are no high-speed lights on the lower roads, and the world is dark and full of desolation.

At around one o'clock in the morning, Wei An dozed off and didn't remember what he dreamed about, but it was something very bad anyway. When he woke up, somewhere in his brain was itchy and ready to move.

Wei An quickly injected himself, and then he calmed down.

The deep domain system has become more and more restless in recent years, and the gold coupons are being consumed quickly. He thought, there are only three left, and more must be obtained as soon as possible.

As the night deepened, Guiling turned the car off the highway and entered the ordinary road.

Wei An said that he had been to Beishan, but in fact he could only say that he had been to the main city, but now he was going to a large area of ​​forest and wilderness.

Before returning to the mausoleum, Wei An pointed out a general place, and Wei An used the federal government's comprehensive intelligence system to plan the route for him, which involved some extremely remote routes, and even involved the routes of ancient roads before the great unification.

In the middle of the night, Guiling turned off the regular road and entered an abandoned road.

It was pitch black outside the window, without any public facilities, and overgrown with weeds. It was an avenue back then, and it was built extraordinarily solidly, so it could withstand the ravages of time, and it could barely drive.

When it was almost dawn, Guiling got off the abandoned road and drove to a more remote trail.

There used to be a road here, but it has been completely occupied by ancient forests, far away from the whole world. I don’t know who entered it back then.

There was only a little area illuminated by the lights of the car ahead, and there was a huge darkness all around, like a living thing.

Wei An looked at the weathered ancient sculptures passing by in the bushes by the roadside, remnants of shapes that could no longer be seen, and they were driving towards a darker and deeper world.

They drove all night, and when they arrived at their destination, it was just dawn.

Wei An woke up in a daze, and found that the car had arrived at a wetland with no end in sight.

The light at this time was very beautiful, and there were large pink-blue and water-red flowers blooming around, reflecting the clouds in the sky, like the entrance of a fantasy story.

But where they went had nothing to do with the color of the dawn.

Guiling stopped the car and stepped onto the grass.

Wei An also jumped down, feeling refreshed and not sleepy at all.

"Strange, I'm not sleepy at all," he said. "I have a hunch it's going to go well."

"You inject stabilizers one after another like eating, so of course you don't feel sleepy," Guiling said.

After he finished speaking, he walked forward.

He doesn't need any equipment to locate thin points, just use his eyes.

Wei An stretched and looked around.

Before getting out of the car, Wei An felt that this was a large flat wetland, but when he stepped on the ground, he realized that the bottom was not pure soft soil, but a solid road that was once paved, but now it has been invaded by nature.

Farther away, I can faintly see a few stone pillar-like things, which may have been statues of some kind, but now they have been weathered so that they cannot see any shape, just random stones standing there.

Wei An looked at this open space and thought of the square in City of Ashes.

This may be an ancient ruin, not the dark ancient country of Taoyuan, but a more ancient civilization.

Wei An looked at it for a while, then turned around, opened the storage box behind the car, and went to see the leader of the kidnapped private soldiers.

It was a dangerous time, but he was calm, probably because he had slept well, and it was another idyllic morning.

Wei An opened the storage box without covering his face. He didn't intend to keep alive, and he didn't mind the other party seeing it.

The man was awake, still wearing the cool leather jacket he had raced in, handcuffed, mouth still taped, staring at him, eyes full of urgency.

The leader of this private soldier has a fierce look. A scar is drawn from the corner of his forehead. It looks like an old injury from the past. When he had no money, he did basic repairs and made a mess. Now that he has money, he can't make up for it.

Dealing with this kind of person needs to be very cautious. He must have risen from a very low-level place, can occupy a high position, must have experienced countless incidents, has blood on his hands, and has strong abilities.

Wei An pulled off his tape and said, "Cooperate—"

The other party screamed: "I can't hold it anymore, hurry up!"

He yelled so fiercely that Wei An was taken aback, and the other party continued to yell: "One day and one night! If you don't let me go, I will pee in your car. I would have thought about it a long time ago. If I didn't know that I still How long are you going to stay here—”

Wei An cut open the plastic handcuffs on his hands and feet with a knife, and he didn't want to bear the consequences since his car would be used for several days.

The opponent rushed out on hands and feet, jumped under the car, and even fell. He was startled when he saw the surrounding scenery, but he continued to solve his physical problems without stopping.

Wei An glanced at it, there must be a lot of acting elements in this howling ghosts and howling wolves, this kind of people don't care about cleanliness.But he doesn't care.

He noticed a small piece of purple wildflowers under his feet, and looked down to study it. He thought the color was pretty and could be transplanted into his garden.

When he was thinking about the color matching of his garden, the leader of the private soldiers finally solved his physical problems.

But he was not in a hurry to come back. Instead, he looked around as if nothing had happened, and checked the surrounding situation.

The man looked at Guiling who seemed to be in a daze not far away, then looked at Wei An, thought for a while, and calmly walked back to the car, probably realizing that it was indeed a barren mountain and wild mountains, and there was nowhere to escape.

At this moment, he didn't have the cold and condescending feeling before, and said to Wei An with an acquaintance chatting, "I didn't eat or drink anything before getting in the car, but the time you tied up is too long." long."

Wei An sized him up and ignored him.

It took him a lot of effort to dig up the information about this person. He is indeed not from Taoyuan. He belongs to the Sky Group in the Central Star Region Qi Province. He suddenly appeared in the Hanniao private soldier system in Taoyuan about seven years ago.

In the video of City of Ashes, you can see the majestic and cold aura he left behind when he was in a high position in the army for many years. Now, the army is still one of the best ways for the lower-level children of the Federation to climb up. They are all traded for their lives—often including their consciences.

The head of the private soldier fumbled in his pocket, but couldn't find what he was looking for, and complained to Wei An: "There's no smoke left."

"Smoking is bad for you, Saffan," Wayne said.

This was his original name, Wei An took a lot of effort to find out.

The opponent's pupils shrank.

The man was silent for three seconds, and then smiled at Wei An with a calm expression, as if his name had always been made public.

"Indeed, I want to quit too, but I can't remember it all the time. The work pressure is too great." Safang said, "Everyone in our industry has a bit of a bad habit, you can understand. Let's be more honest, kidnapping me Take a big risk and tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"Open the space lock." Wei An said.

The other party's face changed again.

Wei An didn't say any more, this is a smart man who can judge the situation.

After he finished asking, he squatted down.He found that one of the previous wildflowers had produced seeds and began to collect.

Safon took a puzzled look at his behavior.

After a while, Safang spoke again.

"It seems that you have a deep understanding of the matter," he said. "Is it the person brought by De Xinming? Or the advance investigation team?"

Wei An didn't speak, but the other party shook his head, saying it didn't matter what it was.

His expression became serious and his words deepened.

"Regardless of what they tell you, what we're involved in now is not what you're used to, it's ... more dangerous, darker, higher-level," Safon said.

"I don't know which department you are in, but I can probably guess your origin. You are a superpower, and all the ways to become a superpower are very cruel. The number of people who died in the laboratory cannot be counted, and variables cannot be controlled. Those rich and powerful guys dare not try even if they want to, only people like us-"

He stared at Wei An: "It's not the big housekeeper in the slave era. People like us have no position. The important thing is to choose the right position."

Wei An collected the wildflower seeds and looked at him.

"Ah, in matters of profit, of course we need to be smart," Wei An said softly, "but you are using the fear of ancient civilizations to create chaos, and you know what it will lead to."

"I admit it's not a good thing, but what can people like us do, it's too involved—" Safon said.

"You know the forces of restoration, you know the state of the slavery era, and what happened to the fear of the power of ancient civilizations." Wei An said.

The other party had a gloomy face and did not speak.

Wei An turned his head to look at Guiling.

The latter seemed to have finally settled on the area and was looking ahead, taking final measurements.

Safang was silent for a while, and then said behind him again: "You have to understand, you can't be too idealistic in this business, I know you think you can wait for reinforcements, but that's three months, and are you sure they will arrive smoothly? De Xinming is dead, and He Xin's situation is not good, what kind of force do you think would dare to move them!"

Seeing Gui Ling reach out and tap the void, Wei An thought that he would not be able to summon a holographic screen in this broken place, could it be that there is technical support from ancient civilizations anywhere in the universe?

Safang is still talking: "There are a lot of bad things in this world, but you have to be realistic... What the hell did you do!"

There have been changes in Guiling.

Wei An first heard some kind of ethereal sound that seemed to be wailing, and then Gui Ling took a step back, the space in front of him was deepened, reminiscent of a cave looming in the thick fog.

In the darkness around the "cave", there are characters of ancient civilizations jumping around quickly, as if calculating something.

But then the shape changed, and countless twisted human bodies appeared from the void, like a corner of hell, these people were suffering from extremely terrible torture.

The shape kept changing for a few seconds, as if it was positioning, and then it was fixed and engraved there by some powerful force, becoming a pattern.

As this strange substance precipitated in the space, a huge door grew out of the void.

That is a door to hell.

There are distorted human bodies carved all around, about five meters high, covered with a large translucent ancient leather, layered with blood and filth, as if countless people died here after countless years.

The road below it was a rotten asphalt road, dirty and red and run-down.

Wei An feels like an ancient road in this wetland has reappeared through time. It should not have appeared in modern times, nor should it be walked by humans.

The part of the road in the world is less than one meter long, and then it stretches long into the entrance.

Wei An couldn't see what was on the opposite side, he could only see the dim sky, which seemed to be soaked with corrupt blood, as if it was the streets of a dilapidated town, which made people very uncomfortable.

Guiling opened the "door" and looked at it for a while, as if he was confirming the stability.

Then he turned around and looked at Wei An with a habitual look.

"Let's go," he said.
