Ke Yuan's hair stood on end, that was by no means Irene's gaze! In the depths of the cold quantum snowflake on the screen, some vast and ancient being is staring at him through this small window, his gaze is like the cold vacuum of the universe, without the slightest emotion, only a pure, indifferent examination of existence itself. This gaze itself, like an invisible ice pick, pierced his mental barrier that almost collapsed due to Irene's "disappearance"."Uh!" He snorted in pain, subconsciously trying to get rid of the terminal, but the cold screen seemed to stick to his palm. At the same time, the light of the dark blue demon eye in the depths of the tunnel suddenly soared, just like the moment when the giant beast inhaled after waking up! The blue arcs jumping on the walls and pipes made a deafening crackling sound, instantly converging into a thick electric python, licking the air frantically. The invisible gravitational force suddenly increased several times, Ke Yuan felt that his feet were almost leaving the slippery ground, and the whole figure was grabbed by an invisible giant hand, forcibly dragging towards the source of the blue light!"The target was captured by an anomalous gravitational field! Power levels skyrocket! Back off! Go back! Behind them came the horrified roar of the witch hunt team members, and the light pillar of the tactical flashlight was shaking violently, obviously they were also affected by this terrifying force. The heavy footsteps instantly became chaotic, mixed with the muffled sound of metal equipment hitting the walls and the cacophony of communication equipment jammed by strong electric fields.Ke Yuan gritted his teeth and used all his strength to fight against the traction that almost tore him apart. He slammed the completely dead shield into the tunnel wall, and the most violent cluster of electric arcs surged on the wall!"Zila-boom!"The moment the shield wreckage came into contact with the arc, a dazzling cloud of white light and smoke exploded, and the air was filled with a stronger smell of burnt. This insignificant physical disturbance actually caused an extremely short-lived, almost imperceptible delay in the terrifying gravitational field!It's now!Taking advantage of this fleeting gap, Ke Yuan suddenly turned sideways and slammed his back into a thick condensate pipe covered with thick moss next to him! The cold metal touch and slippery moss made him stumble, but he also managed to deviate from the straight path that was dragged directly into the blue light. He clung to the cold, damp wall of the pipe like a gecko, panting violently, his heart beating so wildly that it almost jumped out of his throat. The quantum snowflakes on the terminal screen seemed to fluctuate due to the impact just now, and the cold "gaze" still existed, but it seemed to be temporarily distracted."He's over there! Don't let him run! The witch hunt's shouts approached again, and the bright flashlight re-locked his position. But this time, they obviously slowed down significantly from the strange blue light and arc rat thrower in the depths of the tunnel, spreading out in a fan shape, and the muzzle of the gun was vigilantly pointed at Ke Yuan and the ominous light source deeper.Ke Yuan's brain was running rapidly, despair was like a cold tide, but he also forced out the last trace of crazy calmness in a desperate situation. Irene's last broken warning echoed in her mind: "It's the door! It's a bridge! It's an anchor! Chen Mingwei's words - "The magpie bridge is not just the receiving end". All clues point to the awakening horror of creation.It wants to devour, it wants to assimilate... Including Irene, including any close quantum consciousness, and maybe even ... Living?A near-suicidal thought breaks through the ground under the desperate ice. He looked down at the terminal in his hand, which was still shimmering with quantum snowflakes, and felt the gaze of the cold presence in the depths of the screen. If the "Magpie Bridge" is an anchor and a resonance cavity, is it in the most "hungry" and "sensitive" start-up stage at the moment? Any powerful quantum disturbance could be like a stone thrown into a deep pool, causing unpredictable ripples?He raised his wrist sharply, aimed the terminal screen at the most dazzling blue light core in the depths of the tunnel, and at the same time used all his willpower to let out a silent, provocative roar in his consciousness at the cold "watcher" in the depths of the screen:"Have you seen enough?! If you have the seed, come and get it! "This move is almost crazy! He is taking the initiative to expose himself to the unknown quantum being, and he is using himself as a human bomb, throwing himself at the core of the "Magpie Bridge"!At the moment when his consciousness provoked, the cold quantum snowflake on the terminal screen suddenly surged violently! It was as if a calm deep pool was thrown into a boulder, and countless chaotic geometries and incomprehensible symbols flashed and disappeared wildly in the snowflakes! The vast "gaze" in the depths of the screen conveys a clearly identifiable "emotion" for the first time - a cold and pure "interest" that is angered by tiny ants!Immediately afterwards, a quantum wave that was far more powerful and pure than any previous time, like an invisible shock wave, suddenly burst out from the terminal screen! This force was not a physical thrust, but directly acted on Ke Yuan's consciousness level, with a vast and cold will, crashing into his spiritual core!
That cold will was like hundreds of millions of quenched ice needles, piercing into the core of Ke Yuan's consciousness! There is no severe pain, only a sense of horror that transcends the senses and is forcibly "penetrated" and "analyzed". He seemed to have instantly fallen into an absolute zero-degree abyss composed of pure data and cold logic, and the boundaries of his own existence were dissolving wildly! Instead of dark tunnels and harsh blue light, there are frantically flickering, surging endless streams of information – distorted geometry, incomprehensible waterfalls of symbols, fragments of broken space-time, even... A certain vast fragment of consciousness that is cold, inhuman! He saw the internal structure of the ring-shaped steel giant eye of the "Magpie Bridge" unfolding in his consciousness, and countless precise energy pipes and quantum resonant cavities were like blood vessels and nerves of living creatures, greedily absorbing energy from unknown dimensions; He saw the depths of the laboratory, where Morrison's frenzied and twisted face loomed in the dim blue light; He even "felt" the last trace of despair left by the forcibly torn and formatted Irene core data...
"Uh-huh——!" Ke Yuan couldn't control himself and let out a beastly roar, which was almost inaudible at the physical level, but at the quantum level, it was like a drop of water thrown into boiling oil, triggering an even more violent chain reaction! The quantum snowflakes on the terminal screen boil completely and turn into a microscopic black hole that spins wildly and devours all light! The light of the blue demon eye in the depths of the tunnel suddenly contracted, as if attracted by this sudden, strong, and "self-conscious" quantum disturbance, and then, the even more violent energy was like an enraged behemoth, following the invisible gravitational channel, recoiling towards Ke Yuan's position at an exponential speed! Instead of jumping, blue arcs on walls and pipes converge into thick, roaring torrents of plasma, mirroring the entire tunnel like a furnace of hell!
"The target has a violent quantum distortion! Energy readings explode! Dangerous! Extremely dangerous! A hoarse, heavily disturbed warning came from the witch hunt's communicator, "Fire!" Stop him! With a strong pulse! "
Several piercing, non-lethal but enough directional energy pulses to paralyze the nervous system instantly tore the air and blasted towards Ke Yuan who was close to the tube wall! Almost at the same time, the quantum torrent that recoiled from the core of the "Magpie Bridge", mixed with cold will and pure destructive power, was also like an invisible tsunami, flooding Ke Yuan's location!
The pulse energy of physics and the impact of quantum consciousness collided with Ke Yuan, a tiny "conductor"!
"Boom-buzz——!"
The indescribable loud noise does not come from the vibration of the air, but directly acts on the space itself! The tunnel trembled violently, and large pieces of concrete and rusty pipe fragments fell down. Ke Yuan felt like a rag doll shattered by two monstrous waves, his body was slammed against the cold pipe wall by the pulse energy, his internal organs seemed to be displaced, and his bones let out an overwhelmed groan; At the level of consciousness, the cold and vast quantum torrent was roughly disturbed and scattered by the pulse energy, like the ice surface thrown into a boulder, instantly collapsed! The terrifying abyss of data and the sense of stripping suddenly faded, replaced by an indescribable chaotic pain of thinking being "torn" and "shattered"! The microscopic black hole on the terminal screen suddenly stagnated, and then, like a supernova explosion, it exploded into a blinding spot of light mixed with countless broken information!
"Uh... Burst! Ke Yuan's eyes darkened, and blood mixed with the churning sweetness of internal organs spurted out of his mouth, splashing on the terminal screen and the cold and damp pipe wall, which was shocking. His body slipped softly off the pipe wall, slammed into the slippery ground, his consciousness rising and falling in a whirlpool of pain and chaos, on the verge of collapse. The shield had long since failed, and the light on the terminal screen had dimmed, leaving only the slowly rotating broken spot of light that remained after the explosion, like the last embers of a dying star.
"The target was hit! Energy reaction... Chaos is decaying! The voice of the witch hunter was trembling and unbelievable horror for the rest of his life. They were forced to retreat by the terrifying energy collision shockwave just now, and the light pillar of the tactical flashlight scanned in a panic in the permeated dust and ionizing smoke.
Ke Yuan lay on the cold ground, every breath was torn apart, the edges of his vision were black, and his consciousness was like a kite with a broken thread. However, in the midst of this dying chaos, deep in the slowly rotating broken spots of light on the terminal screen, an extremely faint but unusually familiar "warmth" flickered tenaciously, like the last spark in the cold night.
It is not the coldness from the "Magpie Bridge", nor the indifference of the vast existence.
Is that... Erin?!
That little "warmth" was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, but it had a sense of familiarity that made Ke Yuan's soul tremble. It is not a complete consciousness, but more like a "seed" that has been torn apart by a quantum storm and remains tenaciously by instinct, attached to the data wreckage of the terminal's collapse, and is struggling to absorb the faint energy of the chaotic light spots on the screen.
Immediately afterwards, a thought that was intermittent, a thousand times lighter than a whisper, as if seeping directly from the fragments of his soul, with indescribable weakness and urgency, touched his consciousness on the verge of collapse:
> … Axe handle... Far... No... Want... Stop... Under... Key... Spoon... At... Mix... Disorderly... Village... Look for... Arrive... Open... Road... Target... Key... Spoon... It... At... See... Make move... I... We... Place... Yes... Person...
The thought came to an abrupt end, and the faint "warmth" seemed to have exhausted its last strength, instantly dimming, and disappeared again in the cold quantum snowflakes and broken spots of light, as if it had never appeared.
Key? The key to the passage? In the chaos? Ke Yuan's remaining consciousness captured these fragmented words, like a drowning person grabbing a straw. He coughed up a mouthful of blood foam, struggling to concentrate his distracted attention. What is Irene Fragment warning about? The "it" she said was that vast and cold existence? Or is it the awakening "Magpie Bridge"? Key... Where is the key?!
At this moment, the witch hunt's bright flashlight locked on Ke Yuan who had collapsed to the ground again, and several black muzzles pointed steadily at him through the pervasive smoke and flickering arcs.
"The target is incapacitated! The target is incapacitated! Prepare to arrest! The voice of a person who seemed to be the leader regained his cold composure, but he could still hear a hint of palpitations at the vision just now, "Be careful of his terminal!" There may be unknown energy residue! Dr. Morrison wants to live! "
The heavy leather boots trampled on the standing water, cautiously and quickly approaching.
