The end of the world begins with failing an exam.

Chapter 293 The Curse of the Material Universe
Under Hassad's leadership.

Everyone continued to march towards the ancient ruins along a tunnel deep in the cave.

I have to say that after passing through the cave, the road became much easier. After passing through this naturally formed underground tunnel, everyone walked about 500 meters deep, and came to a place where traces of artificial carvings can be seen everywhere. Spiral staircase.

Stairway down.

to the depths of the earth.

The most powerful Jaegertos and Hazard who led the way walked at the forefront. Everyone lined up and walked down one by one. Every step they took, they could hear the strange sound coming from the stairway under their feet.

At first, everyone was terrified when they heard the abnormal sound like ice cracking, but after a very careful inspection, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the stairway, so everyone dared to rest assured and continue to walk deep. It's not as easy as before.

"Is that tree here to guard his tomb?" Chen Jing and Chen Bofu were both walking in the middle, chatting in low voices.

"Maybe." Chen Bofu nodded.

"Look at that tree, it's quite powerful. I thought killing it would explode some equipment or something..." Chen Jing said with a look of disappointment, and waved his right hand, which was shrouded in golden holy light. Can't help but shake up.

Although everyone present was of old descent, and the little skill of seeing in the dark had been learned a long time ago, Chen Jing still couldn't help but want to get something for lighting when he walked in such a place where he couldn't see his fingers.

"These things on the wall are so strange..." Kushiro Tsukano walked about two steps ahead of Chen Jing. He followed the team while looking at the bruised marks on the stone wall, with a hint of vigilance in his tone, " They seem to be alive, wriggling all the time..."

As Tsukano Kushiro said, from the moment they entered this spiral staircase, everyone found that there were many such burning marks on the stone wall, but listening to Hassard's explanation... these things seem to be some kind of existence. Mold of days gone by.

"A lot of ancient relics from the old days have these things." Chen Bofu is no stranger to seeing this kind of thing. Harmful to the Old Ones, not harmful to the Old Ones."

Hearing the old man's science popularization, Kushiro Tsukano was obviously relieved, but Chen Jing, who was walking behind him, did not relax his vigilance at all.

Although Chen Jing never showed it.

But in fact, he was hanging in his heart from beginning to end.

Because he felt that everything was... too smooth.

An ancient ruin where the old king is buried, will only an inexplicable strange tree be guarded?
Or is it all because I think too much, and I mean it's a bit like a snake?

After all, not every ancient relic is as scary as Huangwang Garden.

"Come and see! There are murals here!"

Hearing Hassad's exclamation at the front of the team, the people walking behind couldn't help but subconsciously quicken their pace.

When Chen Jing came to Hassad's side, he saw that the old man had put on his glasses and was lying on the wall to study, as if he was admiring something fascinating, with a fascinated look on his face.

"I didn't expect to see the mural I've been looking for so early... It's so beautiful... This is the most beautiful thing in the world!"

"Is this... a mural?"

Chen Jing looked at the painted paintings on the wall in disbelief, and felt that the old man was probably crazy. These weird and distorted patterns on the wall...how could it fit the description of the word "beautiful"?

He must be crazy.

Chen Jing firmly believed.

The patterns drawn with colored paint on the wall are complex, and [-]% of the patterns are composed of countless distorted lines mixed with geometric figures of unknown meaning, and the remaining [-]% ​​of the patterns are weird abstract paintings.

Perhaps the painter who drew this long mural was also a lunatic. His minimalist brushstrokes and understated outlines can make people feel cold in their bones.

Countless bizarre creatures that are difficult to describe in words or even unimaginable are now vividly appearing on the wall, as if the "painter" only brought everyone back to that crazy era in an instant, and let everyone witness that creature with their own eyes. How terrifying is a monster that only blasphemes.

If judged from the normal aesthetic point of view of human beings, the artist who painted this long mural is by no means superb, and can even be called crude and has no aesthetic feeling at all, but if you look at it from another angle...

The man who painted this long mural.

It must be a "creature" with the pinnacle of painting skills.

It only uses some rough lines and weird geometric figures to put together, and it can successfully stimulate the fear hidden in the deepest part of human genes, as if these distorted and abstract creatures in its writing are real, and they are still alive in front of everyone. .

At this moment, everyone seemed to be possessed by a demon.

While walking deeper into the stairway like a walking corpse, he watched this "magnificent and beautiful" epic scroll uncontrollably.

The more you look at it.

The more I feel that my initial aesthetic level is simply rubbish.

How can this minimalist painting be considered crude?
Obviously, it is delicate and real to the extreme!

"Not right..."

Chen Jing suddenly woke up without warning, and suddenly turned his gaze away from the mural.

It wasn't until then that he realized that the people who seemed to be possessed by demons had already reached the edge of the stairway, and one more step to the side would lead to a bottomless abyss.

Although everyone present is of old descent.

An accidental fall from a height doesn't necessarily kill you either.

But Chen Jing's intuition told him that it was not that simple. This long painting was a trap...it was leading everyone to the unknowable abyss in the middle of the spiral staircase!
In just an instant, the deep-space energy in Chen Jing's body turned into countless long golden threads and flew out in all directions, wrapping around everyone with lightning speed, until they were pulled back from the edge of the abyss...

And right now.

The abyss engulfed by darkness suddenly lit up.

Standing on the edge of the stairway, Chen Jing immediately saw what was glowing inside.

Yes.

It was the colorful starry sky that everyone saw for the first time.

It seems that this stairway is a crossing passage between two spaces.

Taking a step back is the real world.

Further on is the indescribably vast universe.

"When did you wake up?!"

At this moment, the voice of "him" sounded in Chen Jing's mind again, and the tone of "him" seemed to be very frightened, as if he was frightened by what happened before.

"I called for a long time and you didn't respond!"

"I just woke up." Chen Jing's heart was beating fast, and there was lingering fear on his face.

"You were woken up by me??" asked the "he" in his mind.

"No, it's not."

Chen Jing turned his head to look at a familiar pattern in the mural.

Although the shape is minimal and the lines are abstract, Chen Jing can still recognize the identity of the monster that is holding the corpse of a certain creature and gnawing madly.

That's right.

That is Bai Aji!

"That state of total immersion...should be hypnotized..." Chen Jing muttered to himself, thinking of everything that happened before, he was quite terrified, "This painting is used to kill intruders... …should be……"

"So how did you wake up??" The "he" in his mind was still a little puzzled.

"A play."

Chen Jingyan replied succinctly that this was the only explanation he could think of.

"In that state of immersion, what I'm most afraid of is acting out, so I knew something was wrong the moment I saw Bai Aji..."
