Abyssal Kingdom

Wei An felt that he must not have slept well tonight, but in fact it was not much worse than usual.

He dreamed of a building that would never end, full of monotonous corridors and corners, and sealed windows.There are small regular picture frames on the walls, perfect empty landscapes, and now and then you can see large bloodstains and stumps, all very old.

He knew there was no exit here, but he was still walking blindly.

But he probably walked too deep in this boring dream, there is always something hidden in the corridor, for a while Wei An fell into an extraordinarily deep dream, the nightmare that has haunted him since he was a child ...

It's hard to describe the feeling at this moment, as if he has entered some deep realm, and something has awakened in his mind.

He couldn't say that he "saw" something, but a completely different sense was activated in the nightmare. It was dark, but it was not empty, but like a language that was too thick to understand.

On the edge of the human mind, it is a vast and dark ocean, and it does not know how far it extends to the unknown territory——

Wei An woke up with a start and lay on the bed with a splitting headache and weakness. He was too deep in another world and couldn't return to reality for a while.

After a while, his fingers trembled twice, regaining the sense of control over his body.

Wei An sat up with difficulty, picked up the medicine bottle, and swallowed it without looking at it.He lay down for a while, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

When he was able to move, he got out of bed, returned to the computer, and continued working.

At dawn, a little later than normal people wake up, Guiling wanders over like a ghost in pajamas and sits on the sofa.

Last night, Wei An instructed him a lot of details of home life, such as how to wash in the shower, how to change clothes, what time to get up, what to do next, and so on, and almost followed into the bathroom.

Gui Ling saw that his expression was very unfriendly, but he still did it——in fact, it was just some basic things in life.

Now, according to Wei An's request last night, he got up on time, went to wash up, changed into the clothes bought by the new administrator, and sat there listlessly.

Although a creepy creature, after all this fuss, it looks like a roommate throwing a tantrum.

Wei An admired it for a while, then continued to deal with the contract, and then went to make breakfast.

The breakfast was still rich, balanced in nutrition, and beautifully arranged. He asked Gui Ling to sit face to face with him, and ate it with a warm expression.

Then Wei An returned to the terminal again, trimmed the contract, and slowly drank his health juice——he forced Gui Ling to start drinking it too.

The sun rose again day after day, the garden was bustling with activity, and it was another peaceful morning.

Wei An found that there was a little trouble in the revision of the Guiling contract. The program interface showed an unfinished task, saying that a certain upper-level Yingtian had escaped and needed to be resolved.

Wei An thought for a while, at this moment, Gui Ling who was sitting on the sofa suddenly turned to look at him.

"I can kill him," said the man.

Wei An was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and was looking into Gui Ling's gloomy eyes, this feeling gave him goosebumps.The world is bright in spring, but there is something dangerous in the deeper gloom, at work on imperceptible levels.

"No," Wei An said, "I'll take some time to delete this task, you just stay here."

Wei An looked back at the terminal, he could feel that for a while, Gui Ling was still looking in this direction, but his gaze passed him, and the hidden power made people tremble.

Wei An concentrated his attention and began to delete the remaining tasks on the contract, leaving the matter of fugitives to the authorities.

All the codes listed on the terminal are cumbersome and understandable, but the other end is connected to some unspeakable terrifying power.

Wei An has already determined the next step of the plan. Judging from the current progress, the end of the contract modification will probably be dragged to the spaceship. However, as long as you have money, the interstellar voyage can perfectly guarantee a comfortable personal space without affecting work.

He booked an interstellar flight, which is a large city-level starship called the Garden of the Gods, and the name is very grand.

He and Guiling will leave in three weeks on this large spaceship that recently arrived at Taoyuan. The time is a little longer than expected, but Taoyuan is not like a core star field or an airport with a transportation hub, and it can jump every moment. The spaceship comes in and out, and the place is very remote, which is also the reason why Wei An chose to retire locally.

Of course, there are also some small cargo, military or alien starships passing through the nearby interstellar space. Wei An's own travel starship has related functions, but sitting on it is like announcing to everyone that he is suspicious.

A suitable identity requires a suitable way of travel.

The Wanshen Garden is one of the top tourist starships of the Dome Company. It claims to be an airport that can be used for jumping. It is only aimed at the powerful and wealthy people. The only boat that fits in every way.

At that time, there will be more local wealthy people with Wei An, this is the normal travel that best suits his status...

At this moment, Wei An's cell phone rang.

He picked it up and looked, it was Xu Chengguang calling.

Wei An connected the phone, and the person over there yelled at him: "Have you read the news, something happened!"

What happened was the Taoyuan Museum.

As a province that excavates the ruins of ancient civilizations, the Provincial Museum in Taoyuan is a large-scale landmark cultural building. If you come to travel, you must see it.

Wayne has been there several times and often stops by when driving through the city.

It was a very imposing building complex, covering an area of ​​about [-] square meters, with convenient transportation, and advanced fire prevention, moisture-proof and theft-proof facilities.

The style is said to refer to the inferred giant palace of ancient civilization, but no one can say for sure what it was at that time, so in fact, only some relevant design elements are taken, and it is a high-standard modern building.

Wei An had a good impression of the place. There were people coming and going nearby, and it was quite lively. Small shops selling souvenirs could be seen everywhere, and people who came to travel in groups were full of the atmosphere of secular life.

This morning, when the management personnel came to the magnificent ancient civilization exhibition hall, they saw an extremely terrifying scene.

This quaint hall seems to have become a crazy corner in a horror movie hell, densely covered with corpses.

The dead were all in strange postures, twisted to the extreme. They were bound by rusty wires and turned into blood-red lumps of flesh, hanging in mid-air, or stuck to the floor, wall, or ceiling.

Some of the iron wires are as wide as a saw blade, and some are as thin as silk. They grow out of the human body and are tightly embedded in the limbs. The roots grow deep into the building.

It seems that countless living instruments of torture have received the mission of cruelty and killing, creating this extremely terrifying scene.

The exhibition hall was full of blood, and it was still dripping when the administrator entered, but it had not solidified, as if these people were still suffering from unknown pain after death.

The blood was a gloomy dark brown, like rotten grease flowing from another world, bringing decay and pollution to a large area, dripping like a hellish rain in the hall.

The administrator was so frightened that he couldn't stand up for a long time, and after a while he was trembling and called the police.

The police rushed to the scene and saw the tragic scene. They quickly blocked the entire building and kept the internal situation highly confidential.

At present, we only know that the tragedy happened last night. The dead include the security guards of the museum, and some staff who worked overtime because of the annual exhibition, but there are too many dead bodies.

The police preliminarily guessed that something in the museum was out of control. Although the items on public display have been tested repeatedly...but who knows, the things of ancient civilizations are very evil.

"The number of dead people is said to be more than two hundred," Xu Chengguang said on the phone. "The special case investigation team has passed. The latest news is that it is confirmed that the things inside are not imitated by ordinary people. It is not a routine murder case. It may be caused by some kind of dark superpower that has not been included in the record, they suspect that it has something to do with Yingtian—"

Having said that, he lowered his voice.

"I didn't even know that this museum was built on the site of an ancient civilization temple. It was a bloody sacrifice temple, and now it still has some kind of terrifying power—" he continued.

"But there is no temple ruins there, isn't this a publicity stunt at the time?" Wei An said.

"No, this analysis article is true, saying that many people died during the construction..." Xu Chengguang said, "Ah, I have a call, there may be the latest news, I will call you later. "

He hastily hung up the phone and went to check on the new situation.

Wei An put down the phone and thought about it.

He knew that worse things would probably happen after the Silver Bay incident, but the current situation was still a bit beyond the standard.

Wei An focused on the terminal and continued to amend the contract. This sudden case made people anxious, and he could smell faint traces of loss of control.

Later, Xu Chengguang called again.

The death toll of the museum tragedy has been determined to be 270, and it is listed as the first major serial case in Taoyuan.

Some of the victims were naked, and some were wearing ordinary seasonal clothes. There was no standard. Except for the local staff, all of them had visited the museum before.

These people are scattered in various parts of the city, somehow gathered together.

The weirdest part came from a tour group bus with a total of 52 people who just went to the Provincial Expo yesterday.The first aid, alarm and safety measures on the car are complete, and there are also professional security personnel from the travel company, who was reported missing yesterday.The police filed a case, but a car and so many people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and they were never found. At that time, everyone felt that unless there was some supernatural event, it was impossible.

Now they found all the bodies at once, in the worst possible way.

Xu Chengguang was rather panicked because the police now identified the murderer as an upper echelon of Yingtian, the one who was not killed in the Guiling contract.

In fact, this person was listed on the police arrest warrant three days ago, with a five-star rating and the top page.

Li Yingquan, a fugitive from the upper class of the Yingtian faction, was once a local miner.

Poor, mentally handicapped, and few friends.In the pauper stage, no one knows what kind of life he leads, he is a non-existent person to the society.

Four years ago, he became the successful product of a series of "supernatural" experiments by the Yingtian government.

In today's terms, Li Yingquan is a "superhuman".

This is a particularly imaginative identity, and the entertainment industry will generate various creations.

This kind of imagination comes from a long and dark history. The Federation looks very civilized now, but this star field was extremely chaotic before, with a large area of ​​ignorance, following another set of blind and fanatical rules.

"Superpowers" were also called "awakeners", "executors", "sacred souls" and the like in the chaotic old days, full of mystery.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Federation, various controls, classifications and managements were carried out on the existence of these dangers.

At present, there are not many people on the official list of "superpowers", but more than a thousand people, which is too small to be called a group in the vast interstellar era.

The reasons for this kind of people are different. The main source is some technologies found in the ruins of ancient civilizations.

However, in addition to official records, there are also such people in areas that are not seen in private. Due to various reasons that are not legal, they cannot be included in the system and have been kept in the dark.

Li Yingquan is a typical character of this kind, and he is also one of the few superpowers who can cause mass casualties.

His signature killing method is the wire. Three days ago, he killed a family of four in Sucheng, which is adjacent to Tongyun. The way of death was exactly the same as that of the people in the museum.

The victim's house was a mess of things like wire growing into the walls and floors, turning it into a supernatural dump with what looked like cocoons of meat hanging from the wire growing in malevolence The way to bind the human body into a state.

It is said that the wire would keep appearing in Li Yingquan's dreams and fantasies, because something dirty had crawled into his brain during the experiment.

Li Yingquan was in Yingtian's "mansion", and the gates and walls were covered with such strangely shaped "decorations".

He seems to have a desire to make people like this from the bottom of his heart.
