Laws of the Other World

Chapter 29: The inheritance of Elpis

“What is the position of the researcher?” Zhou Yu did not seem to be shaken by the scene in front of him.

Wu Yun raised his wrist and glanced at it. The angle of change seemed to be correcting the position.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu asked.

"According to the distance and direction...he seems to be inside the Elpis..." Wu Yun's brows wrinkled tightly.

Did Elpis swallow the researcher?

Are they the foods that are tempted by Elpis?

"Wear the top cover." Zhou Yu put on the breathing mask.

Wu Yun suddenly understood Zhou Yu's meaning. He buckled Zhou Yu's wrist: "Even if the anesthetic bomb is useful for those blue-light fireflies or scabbards, it may not be useful to Elpis!"

"Try it and you will know. Wu Yun, don't forget your daughter. Anyway, it is impossible to go back from the original road. It is better to give it a try. And I have a hunch that you will get the recorder on the researcher, and Unexpected gains, go back safely."

"...premonition of this kind of thing... Then do you have any hunch, what will I do?" Wu Yun asked with helplessness.

Is it dead here?

Still... can you still see your daughter?

"Don't think about it later. It can be changed in the future, and ‘after’ is bound to come.”

After that, Zhou Yu violently threw the only anesthetic grenade he had equipped.

The grenade broke out in midair and the anesthetic gas spread out.

This is a closed underground space that is extremely beneficial for the effectiveness of the anesthesia bomb.

Zhou Yu counts the time in his heart: one second, two seconds, three seconds... nine seconds, ten seconds!

The scabbard butterflies attached to the El Niño flower have fallen, followed by the blue fireflies, like the blue rain and fog, the scene is extremely spectacular.

For example, the torrent of light at the same time is like a huge illusion.

The ground was quickly covered.

Moreover, this anesthetic is soluble in water. If it is useful for blue-light fireflies and scabbards, it should be effective for aquatic dragons in the pool, but the effect will not be too long.

Zhou Yu made a "forward" gesture.

They must race against time.

The closer they are to Elpis, the more they can feel the magic of this tree.

It seems that every vein is a creature of independent thinking. Zhou Yu’s moment of looking up is inexplicable.

Elpis seemed to see all the elders in the world, looked down and stared at them with sorrowful eyes.

At that moment, Zhou Yu’s heartbeat seemed to merge with the flow of the Elpis vein.

Wu Yun looked at the locator on his arm and walked over to Elpis step by step. What made him feel incredible was that the researcher was lying under the tree of Elpis, neither harmed by the sword bone butterfly or the blue firefly, nor suffocated by the devil vine.

Wu Yun stretched his hand and held his neck, and found his pulse was very stable.

This is almost impossible.

Wu Yun can determine Zhou Yu’s conjecture. Elpis deliberately let them enter here, and this researcher is a bait!

What is its purpose?

At this time, the sleeping scientist suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked that Wu Yun retired.

And he slowly stood up, his face showing a smile that Wu Yun had never seen before.

Calm, calm, and noble.

"Welcome to my world."

The voice is ethereal, echoing in this huge underground world, like a star falling into a cup.

"Who are you! This is not the voice of Zhao Xiaoping!"

Although Wu Yun was not familiar with the researcher named Zhao Xiaoping, he had several missions with him. Zhao Xiaoping’s voice and demeanor, Wu Yun is remembered.

But now this person is definitely not Zhao Xiaoping!

Zhao Xiaoping’s gaze passed through Wu Yun’s shoulder and looked at Zhou Yu: “So what about you? Who do you think I am?”

Zhou Yu’s expression is much calmer than Wu Yun’s.

"You are Elpis." Zhou Yu replied.

Wu Yun was dumbfounded, and then he understood how Elpis controlled these creatures.

Although it can not mimic humans like s-class creatures, its thinking can enter other organisms and control their behavior.

"What do you want to invite us here?" Zhou Yu's hand held his own gun, staring at Zhao Xiaoping calmly, but ready to shoot at Elpis.

Regardless of whether he is doing this or not, he will go all out to win a chance for Wu Yun.

"Don't be such a Zhou Yu. The bullets fired by your gun are not strong enough to penetrate my body." Zhao Xiaoping turned his face to face, his eyes were a joke, and more of it was a transcendent over the human.

Wu Yun felt a dangerous atmosphere, Elpis can read their thinking... and it can control himself and Zhou Yu at any time, making them kill each other.

"What do you want? If you take me and Wu Yun as prey, you don't have to talk to us so much."

"You should know that as Elpis, the fruit of my offspring is only one in ten thousand years. But I gave that fruit to a higher level creature than me."

Zhao Xiaoping’s words made Wu Yun and Zhou Yu very surprised.

A higher level creature than Elpels is a s-class creature.

"So I lost the possibility of continuing the blood."

Wu Yun's subconsciousness took a step back.

If Elpis' goal is not to treat them as food, then it may be the nutrition of the progeny!

It wants to give birth to life again, so it needs...

"Let's play a game. There are still three minutes, the anesthetic in the air will be invalid. My subjects will wake up. If you climb up fast enough, you can leave here."

"Climb up?" Wu Yun is completely puzzled.

Zhao Xiaoping smiled and pointed to his head.

Zhou Yu and Wu Yun together, the leaves of Elpis moved, it seems that there is a trace of sunlight falling from the gap between Zhou Yu's face, it is the noon of the sun, very glaring, Zhou Yu deliberately identified the head.

In other words, this huge underground space is not closed. It’s just that the branches of Elpis are too luxuriant to cover the roof space!

"We are different from the human beings who do not follow the promises. Once you make a promise, you will do it. Time is too boring, give me some fun. Time is passing! Action is fast, otherwise my children will I have to wake up."

In the next second, Zhou Yu put the end of the rope into the launcher and slammed it out into the height.

"Let's go! Wu Yun!" Zhou Yu whispered, let Wu Yun also wake up.

The two climbed quickly along the rope and went up. They struggled to climb up.

For Elpis, they are too small, like the ants on the tree.

It took almost a minute for them to climb into the branches of Elpis.

The sweat slipped from Zhou Yu's forehead. He stepped on the flowers of Elpis, leaped up, stepped on the devil's vine, and continued to move upwards.

Wu Yun is also very neat, at this moment they have no time to think about whether Elpis is playing with them or is it really boring to be fun.

Two minutes later, they have not even reached the middle of Elpis.

But can't give up.

Three minutes have passed, and the sleeping creatures are gradually waking up.

And they just climbed through the middle of Elpis and could see the obvious daylight.

Zhou Yu saw countless scabbard butterflies and blue fireflies, flying through the cracks in the branches and leaves.

Time is not enough!

Zhou Yuhuang came to Wu Yun: "Give me your rope!"

"what?"

"Hurry up!" Zhou Yu finished, tied his rope and Wu Yun together, tied one end tightly to Wu Yun's waist, and the other end shot to a branch of the height.

But the metal claws are not embedded in the branches, but fall down from the other side.

Zhou Yu grabbed the metal claws and Wu Yun suddenly understood what he was going to do.

"Zhou Yu! No!"

"Take me good care for me! Elpis' goal is me!"

After that, Zhou Yu jumped down.

"Zhou Yu!" Wu Yun reached out and grabbed him, but he was pulled up by the ropes, and watched as the devil's vines slammed down by Zhou Yu, who was jumping down.

The greater the power of the devil vine, the faster the Wu Yun rises.

Zhou Yu’s eyes widened and he watched Wu Yun grab the twig and loosen the rope.

"Don't waste my life!" Zhou Yu loudly reminded Wu Yun that he was soon overwhelmed by the leaves of Elpis.

Wu Yun’s tears fell vertically and horizontally. He gritted his teeth and faced the more powerful creatures who could not fight back.

He regretted telling Zhou Yu about his daughter. If he had not said it, perhaps Zhou Yu would not sacrifice himself to save him.

The sun shines on him, although there is still a long distance from the top of the cave, but under the sun, blue fireflies will not come. This creature will only live in the dark, and the sun will rupture its body. The scabbard butterfly locks the target with fear. The inhibitor in the body has not been metabolized. As long as Elpis does not really want his life, he will not be attacked.

In Wu Yun’s mind, Zhou Yu’s phrase “Don’t waste my life” is constantly echoing. No matter how much hate I hate, no matter how much I want to jump to find Zhou Yu, he must struggle to climb up.

When he finally climbed to the top, he found himself on the edge of a cliff.

He knelt down, his hands on the ground, and his tears continued to fall.

He lost a lot of companions, but Zhou Yu... is the one he least wants to lose.

He wiped his tears, repositioned his direction and headed for the base.

His footsteps are shaking, and all the pictures in his mind have been seen since he first saw Zhou Yu.

He reached over and covered his eyes.

"You are a bastard! I should... how do you say this to Zhou Qing?"

At this moment, Zhou Yu was dragged by the devil vine, and under his body, Elpis opened his body layer by layer, and Zhou Yu fell into its center.

It was a golden liquid, Zhou Yu did not prepare for it, and the sound of the cymbal came from the ear, completely submerged.

His hair lifted up in the water, unable to breathe, surrounded by entangled things like meridians, which were closely intertwined, like a glass full of champagne.

It was like Elpies opened his mouth and swallowed him, and the liquid was its digestive juice.

Zhou Yuyou is above, he has less and less oxygen, and he is almost ready to reach the critical surface, just like being pushed by a force, he sinks again.

Oxygen consumption is about to reach its limit, he coughs and swallows a lot of golden liquid.

The liquid is tasteless, but once it enters his body it is like infiltration, into his blood, his cells, deep in his nerves.

Zhou Yu beat hard, but he could not find a point.

His body is getting more and more heavy and he can no longer struggle.

Until the end of the last, his consciousness seemed to pull out of the body, his limbs stretched out and floated in this golden liquid.

"Zhou Yu... Zhou Yu..."

The soft voice sounded, and Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes.

Am I dead?

Am I still breathing?

One hand reached into the liquid, Zhou Yu subconsciously raised his hand and took it.

Then a powerful force dragged him up and rushed out of the water into a vast, unmargined space.

In front of him is a woman in a white dress.

She is elegant and noble, and Zhou Yu thinks of the Elf Queen in the movie.

"Who are you... Where is this?"

Zhou Yu didn't know if this was the illusion before his death, or he was already dead and going to another country.

"I am Elpis who is trapping you. I am sorry to invite you to my world in this way."

Zhou Yu looked at each other's eyes, she was peaceful, did not have any attack power, her eyes were even very loving.

"Invite me? Why?"

Erpies smiled: "I told you that I lost the fruits of my own tens of thousands of years. It is my child. I lost my successor to my blood."

"Yes, you said it. So? Do you want me to be the nutrition of your next fruit?"

Elpies shook his head.

"The so-called inheritance, in addition to the replication and continuation of genes in your human concept, there is another form, that is, thought. You know that we are not able to think about the fact that Elpis is a plant with few brain nerves."

"Yes, I have heard of it."

"I lived for 10,000 years and watched the world. My ancestors passed on what they observed, and I would have passed these memories to my children. But I lost my children and will soon To the end of life. I must find a living body and receive my memory. This is the inheritance of our Elpis."

"What? Why choose me? Nibelungen has so many creatures! And I am still a human being from a different world!" Zhou Yu could not understand.

Erpies smiled, and her smile was to see through the past and the future.

"Because he chose you. It is my greatest honour to be able to inherit everything from you."

"'Who is he?"

Elpis stepped forward to Zhou Yu, her fingers touched Zhou Yu's head on both sides and slowly closed her eyes.

"The process of accepting this may be a bit painful, but it will be very important for you to survive in Nibelungen."

After that, there was no opportunity for Zhou Yu to reject and question. Some kind of power flooded into Zhou Yu’s brain like a flood.

They are shocked, mad, like a whirlpool.

Zhou Yu’s brain is severely painful and cracked.

"Ah--" he made a painful roar.

Countless pieces flashed through his mind. The origins of all kinds of creatures, how they evolved and how they were extinct.

Zhou Yu can't breathe, he thinks he will die.

The body seems to be broken by this torrent.

"Zhou Yu... you will live..."

The voice of Elpis is getting farther and farther, and all the ultimate pains are dissipated.

Zhou Yu couldn't open his eyes, only knowing that he was sinking.

lose consciousness.

Wu Yun took the helicopter and returned to the base.

He looked very embarrassed. When he went to the office of Song Zhi, the members of other groups passed by and looked at him.

When he walked into the office of Song Zhi, the first question asked by the other party was: "Is there any fruit of Elpis?"

Icy, always walking on the established trajectory without any deviation.

Wu Yun for the first time have the urge to beat this man.

"No, that Erpis said it has no fruit."

"No fruit? How is this possible? We have been observing it for three years! Wait... What do you mean by saying that you have no fruit?"

"Erpis is a plant with thoughts. They can't mimic other creatures, but their thinking can enter other creatures. One of the researchers, Zhao Xiaoping, is controlled by its thinking and becomes its spokesperson. Zhao Xiaoping said, Its fruit has been taken away by a certain s-class creature."

Wu Yun placed the recorder he had recovered from the researcher on the table of Song.

"Very good, I know that you have tried your best. The information you brought back, if it is true, will make a lot of research on the kind of creatures of type A. Elpies. You can go back to rest. Although you don't have Bring back the fruit of Elpis, but our group will still pay your employment in full according to the previous agreement."

Song Zhi’s answer is like a machine.

"Just like this? You don't know if Zhou Yu is dead?" Wu Yun's fist clenched.

He has never been an impulsive person, and he has long been faint for life and death. But at the moment, he really wants to pull out the gun and collapse the brain of Song.

"He is already dead. What I can do for him is to give the pension to Professor Zhou and to fully support Professor Zhou's research. Maybe before Professor Zhou's life comes to an end, he can find a way to heal himself. And you can What we do is to protect Zhou Yu from wanting to protect. Besides that, do you think that I am crying and sipping tea? Does it have any practical significance?"

Song Zhi looked at Wu Yun coldly, as if looking at a childish, unreasonable child.

What he said was completely reasonable, Wu Yun could not refute.

"You know that you have such a big emotion for me at the moment, why is it?" Song asked again.

“Oh? Why? Can’t you see Mr. Song’s research on psychology?”

"You are not blaming us for your great efforts. You are going to perform this task. Because you know how dangerous it is before you receive the task, and how many chances of losing your life. You are only guilty of yourself. At that time, people who gave up their lives to save each other." , why not you."

Wu used his power to close his eyes. He knew very well in his heart. Song said that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Wu Yun, you still don't know Zhou Yu's personality? Like Zhou Yu, he has no sadness and sorrow. He will only save his life if he is important to him. And he trusts you to spare no effort to protect Zhou Qing. So he will save you with confidence. Don't let him down on his trust in you."

Wu Yun’s throat is so swallowing.

"You can go out. I will go to explain to Professor Zhou why Zhou Yu did not come back."

Wu Yun did not speak and went out. He leaned against the wall, and all this made him breathless.

How much he hopes that Zhou Yu is still alive, they are drinking beer in the restaurant and talking about everything that is not marginal.

Song Zhi in the office connected the intercom: "Is the Alpha team still there? I want you to perform a mission to confirm the cave where Elpis is growing. If you can, look for Zhou Yu's body. No matter life or death. I want a clear result."

"Yes, sir."

In the quiet office, Song sent his hands together and held his eyebrows.

"Why do I feel that you will not die like this? Give me a miracle, give me a surprise again... Zhou Yu..."

At this moment, Zhou Yu opened his eyes in exhaustion.

As the sun sets, the sun shines from the top of the head just as it shines on the pool at the bottom of the cave.

Zhou Yu breathed hard and felt the blood flow from the brain to the fingertips. His fingers trembled slightly, and the thought returned at that moment.

Where is this?

Zhou Yu moved and turned around to look at the sky.

What about Elpis? Doesn't its leaves completely cover the hole? How can I see the sky?

Zhou Yu bowed his head and found that his knees were immersed in a clear water.

He shook his head and remembered that he had been smashed into the golden liquid in the middle of Elpis by the devil vine!

Looking around, Zhou Yu saw that the entire bottom of the cave spread out to belong to the branches of Elpis, and the originally flowing nerves seemed to be dead and generally lifeless.

All the white flowers have been lost.

The leaves also appear pale in color.

Zhou Yu stood up and took the center of the liquid.
