Fast Forward To 3077

All the way forward, Xu Jiu quickly found a staircase in the middle of the corridor leading to a higher level.

On the way, he also did some tests on the energy light group in his hand, including stimulating with flames or enlarging the cage in a short period of time, but the latter was like confessing his fate without any action. , Which makes Xu Jiu a little confused.

In desperation, I had to let it float on my side with other fireballs for lighting, returning my attention to the present exploration.

Along the stairs, due to the special area of ​​the repair shop on the first floor, the height of the stairs will inevitably increase, and it was also specially designed into a spiral structure when it was built. The fairly gentle spiral is made up of a large number of stones, which looks very beautiful.

Not only that, as the height rises, Xu Jiu gradually noticed that on the wall inside the stairs, there will be a picture at every interval... to be more precise, more like It is refinement formation!

Although it has long been known that the refinement formation is nothing special in the relics of the special area, the engraving on the wall in this way still makes Xu Jiu quite curious.

Not so much that they appeared here for some kind of ceremony, it was more like a plaque with famous celebrities hanging in the corridor when Xu Jiu was in school in the past to inspire students.

Whether the effect is for the time being, at least the academic atmosphere is still in place.

In this way, it is possible that this building is an Academy?

Da~

The steps ahead suddenly stopped. Xu Jiu, who had already walked halfway through the stairs, was able to see the upper corridor with the help of the firelight, and he stopped suddenly. The reason for the footsteps was not the obstacles in front, but the fireballs floating beside him.

The light blue light group that was very quiet downstairs just now did not know when the shape has changed. It turned from the irregular shape just now into a translucent blue fish, which is constantly changing. Rushed into the flame cage under the control of Xu Jiu!

What is the principle?

Xu Jiu scratched his chin, he really couldn't figure out what he caught.

At this moment, Xu Jiu suddenly noticed that the fireball that had originally maintained the size of a basketball seemed to be two laps smaller, and he was clearly supplying energy in an uninterrupted manner according to the state of maintaining the prototype.

The only reason for this situation is the erosion of external energy. I want to break the cage and rescue the light ball...

Hidden in the dark Other energy bodies or other reasons?

Xu Jiu raised his eyebrows, suddenly waved his hand to turn off the surrounding fireball, and then moved the cage holding the fish to the middle of the stairs and then released the flame cage together.

This is naturally not because Xu Jiu suddenly became kind and wanted to release the other person, but because he has the confidence to intercept this shallow blue energy fish before it penetrates into the wall or the stairs. It let go, but to verify a conjecture.

At the moment of leaving the flame cage, the fish swelled up like a blow, and its size expanded several times in just a few seconds, but Xu Jiu was hidden in the darkness at this time. The figure just disappeared in place.

The energy fish that regained freedom was wagging its tail, and didn't mean to look back at Xu Jiu at all, as if it didn't care about the alien creature that had just imprisoned it.

Sure enough, there is no sensible energy body.

Xu Jiu deliberately hides his body and then releases the restrictions, just to test whether this energy body has thinking.

In this way, it is very likely that it is acting by instinct. I saw Xu Jiu in the workshop before, so it became the latter. Now I think about it, it was Xu Jiu's attack at that time.

Have the ability to completely imitate the transformation of living creatures, and will counterattack external dangers...

Just as Xu Jiu was observing the energy fish, he wanted to take this opportunity to obtain When I got more information, I suddenly found that the state of this energy fish seemed to be something wrong. It didn't penetrate the surrounding environment like before, but a wagging tail, rushing towards Xu Jiu's location.

Xu Jiu, who remained invisible, thought at first that it was aware of his existence, and then he wanted to attack again.

However, when Xu Jiu was about to imprison it again, he found that the energy fish was only scurrying around in the space in front of him, as if he had been frightened in some way, but could not melt into the surroundings again. environment.

What makes Xu Jiu even more surprised is when he releases the flames. Not only did this energy fish not run upstairs because of the previous experience of being caught, but instead it actively leaned in and rushed into the flames. Surrounded by the circle.

In Xu Jiu's eyes, this behavior actually means having several points of treating the flame cage as a Safety Sector...

and so on.

Could it be said that it wanted to break through the cage when it was about to reach a high level because it was aware of the danger upstairs, so it wanted to escape?

Looking at the energy fish in the cage, Xu Jiu not only didn't have the idea of ​​retreating after a short period of thought, but accelerated his upward pace. He wanted to see what the high level had.

Stepping up one level to the last Level 1 ladder between 2-Layer, Xu Jiu glanced at the stairs leading to a higher place, not in a hurry to go up, but first stepped towards 2-Layer The outer corridor.

As mentioned before, this building is cylindrical, and each layer of the mechanical columns that stand in the middle has a circular corridor, but Xu Jiu has just seen the 2-Layer corridor underneath. There is nothing special.

According to the layout of the first floor, the gates of the key areas are obviously still located inside the outer corridors.

Xu Jiu just walked to the edge of the corridor. Before he could enter the corridor, he found the faintly visible light on the left and right sides of the front exit.

At this time, the sound of fighting downstairs has not stopped, and Xu Jiu is basically certain that it is not the explorer who shines in the outer corridor.

Hesitated for a moment, and distorted light and shadow immediately appeared all over his body. After a while, Xu Jiu's figure and the flame cage in his hand disappeared without a trace.

Through the chase on the bridge and the test in the corridor just now, Xu Jiu can affirm that this energy body does not have the life-sensing ability as imagined. They may have a wide field of vision, but they cannot see invisible. The presence.

Turning around while stepping out, Xu Jiu's gaze cast towards the outer corridor.

When I saw the scene in front of me, the upper body unconsciously leaned back, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

A translucent dark golden eye is set at a distance of no more than 20 centimeters from Xu Jiu’s face, and behind this eye, it occupies a considerable part of the corridor. Giant octopus...

Xu Jiu didn’t think that there might be something curious in the outer corridor, but he didn’t expect it, there was actually a glow in the night. "aquarium"!

Darkness is still the main tone here, but this does not prevent some of the existence of shimmering lights from putting together a magnificent picture in front of Xu Jiu.

A lot of translucent energy seagrass grows all over the corridor, and some colorful coral reefs are piled up everywhere, and among them, there are all kinds of fish that Xu Jiu simply has never seen before. .

The octopus that Xu Jiu saw at first glance was slowly sliding across the floor, as if it were in the sea, its body squirming forward, and when such a huge creature moves, it will inevitably cause schools of fish around. Mobile.

Several small red and white striped fish swam by Xu Jiu's side, got into the rock pile behind him, and hit a thumb-sized conch along the way. When they left, the conch was inside again. With a few slender limbs, swinging constantly to return it to its original position.

If this kind of sight appears in the sea outside, Xu Jiu will not have any accidents, but this happens to be in this seabed city where I don’t know how long I will sleep!

Xu Jiu clearly knows that the scene in front of him is likely to be constructed by the energy body imitating the seabed scene outside the corridor window. After all, the latter can even imitate him. This degree of deformation is obviously not a problem. ,

The question is where did these energy bodies come from, the creatures that originally existed in the seabed city or the mysterious species derived from the special area here?

Why do they stay here and become this form again... The energy body in the flame cage should be the same as them, why is the former so afraid to come here?

Dang~Dang~Dang~

Xu Jiu was awakened from contemplation by the sudden ringing of bells.

The dull voice echoed throughout the corridor. Before Xu Jiu could hear the source of the bell, the magnificent scene in front of him was pressed the pause button at this moment.

Whether it is an octopus or a sea snail, the movements of all marine creatures in the corridor stay at the moment when the bell rang.

In the next second, everything in front of me is like an oil painting splashed with water. The bright pigments begin to scatter, collapse, and finally turn into a mess of disgusting colors, and then one after another emerges from it. Translucent light blue human figure.

As a bystander, Xu Jiu, who had witnessed all of this, quickly realized that the three successive bells had changed a certain rule in this building, causing changes in these energy bodies.

Xu Jiu wants to find the source of the bell, but everything in front of him makes it hard for him to give up.

They wore retro clothes that were very different from modern times, but their overall appearance was extremely vague, not to mention their faces, even their clothes could only be seen roughly.

Soul?

Xu Jiu's mind came up with this concept for no apparent reason.

Time did not stop flowing because of the stagnation of these people. About ten seconds later, these people seemed to be given life again, and began to converge from the two ends of the corridor to where Xu Jiu was.

During this process, the expressions on these people's clothes and faces are sometimes clear and sometimes loose.

Naturally, Xu Jiu will not disturb them at this time, just stick to the outer wall of the corridor as much as possible, give them a place to pass, and wait for all these people to pour into the corridor before moving forward. Keep up.

37 people.

This is the number Xu Jiu got after carefully counting.

Raise your heels behind the crowd and follow them upstairs.

This time Xu Jiu didn’t go to other corridors, because it was not just the 2-Layer he was in. What happened at the top was exactly the same as before. People kept coming out of the corridor and entering the team. Then walk to a higher floor.

Until Seventh Layer!

According to Xu Jiu’s previous observations on the gallery bridge, if the entire building is connected to the gallery bridge as one floor, the number of layers above it is roughly 8-Layer.

This means that this place is already close to the top level.

Xu Jiu is at the end of the crowd. Starting from the Second Layer, he can't count the number of people on the subsequent floors, but there are hundreds of them. They will turn around after they board the Seventh Layer. Enter the corridor on the left, and then enter a room with a half-hidden door in an orderly manner.

Xu Jiu who followed in found that there was actually a large stepped classroom. Starting from the position where he entered, there were rows of tables and chairs descending in steps, and the front end was a podium. .

Can't it be the class bell just now?

Seeing these people gradually take their seats, occupying nearly one third vacancy in the entire classroom, Xu Jiu is also a little confused at this time.

He came to hunt for treasures, but he wanted to be re-educated in the remains of the special area?

It’s just that everyone is already here. At this time, charge ahead does not seem to be of any benefit. Xu Jiu thought for a while and simply found a seat far away from the crowd and watched this place. The interior of the lecture theatre.

Several flagpoles stand around the podium. The flag on the top has disappeared for a long time, but the stone sculpture next to it is quite eye-catching.

That is a statue of a mechanical device. Xu Jiu, who knows nothing about this, can still feel the amazing beauty from it.

This statue also appeared as an embossed emblem on the wall behind the podium. Xu Jiu thought for a while, and took out the two emblems that were previously rubbed on the armor from his pocket. One of them matched the number.

All the students are seated. According to this process, should the teachers be the next step?

As soon as this idea came into Xu Jiu's mind, he saw the "students" underneath start to applaud.

There is no sound, but the applause can be felt from the range of their movements.

At the same time, the door on the left side of the podium opened, and Xu Jiu saw that the entire image was completely different from the silhouette of the people he had just seen.

In Xu Jiu's view, the clarity of both parties is different.

The students are in standard definition, so the one who appears right now is Blu-ray 4K. Even at a distance of more than 20 meters, he can still see that the silhouette of the blue shimmer is wearing Middle-aged man of glasses.

The strange thing is that he has neither speech drafts nor teaching materials in his hands. Is this intended to be played on the spot?

This is the end of the matter. Xu Jiu is somewhat resistant to the unimaginable scene in front of him. Not only that, but he even faintly tells the person on the podium what to do next. expect.

Be aware that, except for Xu Jiu, those who appear here at this moment are obviously people who lived in this seabed city back then.

At least from Fini, Xu Jiu has never heard of anyone who once lived in the ruins of a special area.

The teacher raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then placed his right hand in front of him. Xu Jiu immediately noticed the mechanical ring on his wrist.

Light blue rays of light are projected from it, and a large number of lines in midair outline an image that Xu Jiu has only seen not long ago.

A three-dimensional model of this seabed city!

Clearly there were no smart devices in that era...

There is no doubt that the mechanical ring in the hands of this teacher is a strange thing!
