One day, after forming a contract with the old god,

Chapter 9 Dream Cube

【23:59:59】

When the seconds changed again, zero-point darkness enveloped this vast land.

Some people who do not believe in evil sleep with their heads covered before midnight, resisting the coming disaster with their whole body as usual, thinking that this method will still be effective after facing the Dream Cube.

There are also those who are frightened about the Dream Cube, and they decide to witness the arrival of the Dream Cube with their own eyes.

But for some people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Nearly a hundred invitees were twisted into the Dream Cube by a mysterious force at the moment zero o'clock arrived.

The next second, the surrounding scene changed drastically.

They were in a large hall with an endless view.

A huge cone-shaped ancient bell hung above everyone's head, as if to welcome the arrival of the guests. When they noticed the huge thing above their heads, the bell rang completely at that time.

A bone-gnawing chill instantly penetrated people's hearts, and the low bells started to reverberate after repeatedly hitting the wall.

The lingering sound seems to be the murmur of sorrow and sadness accumulated in this hall over the long years.

"Based on the sound return, it is initially judged that the entire Dream Cube is similar to a honeycomb-shaped building." Nan Jin observed the surrounding situation over and over while reporting the current inference to the frowning Shen Zhen'an.

He nodded slightly, and He Qiao beside him immediately understood what he meant.

An inaudible sound of snapping fingers was quickly drowned in the confused crowd.

"Let's explore again." As he spoke, Shen Zhenan quickly switched to another state. His behavior was no different from that of the people around him, with helplessness and anxiety vividly displayed on his face.

Nan Jin shrugged to express understanding.

The two of them blended into the crowd familiarly again.

Previous disaster strikes have been single-player modes, but this is the first time that multiple people are in a shared dream at the same time.

What happens next?It is unknown whether the rules in Dream Cube are the same as in Cataclysm.

But fortunately, unknown things always give people a sense of awe, and the crowd was relatively calm. No one dared to fire the first shot in this situation.

This is one of the reasons why Shen Zhenan doesn't want to reveal his identity early.

After the sound of the bell completely dissipated, people's attention also spread to the surroundings.

Rectangular squares of the same size are distributed on the towering walls. The inside of the squares is concave, and the fence surrounding them is higher than the rectangular squares.

Inside each square stands a copper-colored sculpture whose appearance is unclear, but from its rough outline, it can be inferred that the sculpture depicts an inhuman existence.

The oncoming gloomy aura made them afraid to vent their anger.

It seems to be to protect them from prying eyes.

The rectangular square array at the bottom starts at least ten meters away and is carved upwards.

Ten meters below is an ancient mural with no end in sight.

The colors and figures were obviously mottled, and a brave guy moved forward cautiously until he caught a glimpse of the existence of these taboos.

"Ah...ahhh...hell! It's hell!"

He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and almost crawled back, using his hands and feet in a somewhat awkward posture.

But in this environment no one dared to laugh at him.

People rushed after hearing the sound, until they all gasped in surprise after seeing the so-called hell.

The murals on the wall are equally divided into nine parts.

The content painted on each layer is also very different. The only thing they have in common is that the victims all look like humans, while the perpetrators are people they have never seen before, and are even different from the definition of devil in the book.

What kind of guys are they?

The bottom of the mural is also the first layer, which clearly depicts the home of mankind. The blue ocean surrounds the golden land, and there are various houses on the land.

It ranges from the most quaint and primitive rough-hewn house in the village to the cold forest built with cement and steel bars that towers into the clouds.

Occasionally, there are a few green spots dotted around the farmhouse, while the rest has been replaced by large groups of gray and white buildings.

"This...this is our home."

"Shh!"

People find some solace in their peaceful homes.

But the next scene plunged the onlookers into a deathly silence.

Second floor.

The giant red dragon with six wings and nine heads spit out countless flame balls that exploded to the point of dazzling the eyes. The flame balls fell from the sky and hit the human home on the first floor.

Is this some kind of prophecy?
His eyes then climbed upward to the third floor.

What came into view was an endless sea of ​​blood. The red gradually deepened from the surface to the depths, until the color completely turned into a thick black and red. A few sharp-eyed people saw countless dense things at the bottom. Bones filled the entire ocean floor.

Further up are fallen stumps and dense flesh and blood.

Shadows like water ghosts densely occupied the entire sea area.

They were ready to attack, and some even jumped out of the sea of ​​​​blood, still holding human heads in their mouths.

The flowing blood dripped into the sea of ​​blood.

Human beings were struggling in groups of three or three on the sea surface. Their expressions were painful and distorted, and their bodies were covered with red and white scabs. The endless water ghosts bit their fresh legs and dragged them forcefully into the deeper seabed.

The sight of people struggling in a sea of ​​blood was deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone present.

There is no foothold on the entire sea of ​​​​blood, and people will be completely destroyed in this disaster.

Occasionally, there are a few smart guys in the murals who try to escape by stepping on the bodies of the same kind, but little do they know that there is no way to escape from this sea of ​​punishment.

Due to their bad behavior, their bodies have already mutated in the same way as water ghosts, or they have devil-like horns growing on their heads, or weird and huge flippers like cattail fans...

Some people with poor endurance turned their heads and vomited after seeing this scene.Some even cried unbearably.

Things have exceeded their expectations.

"Fuck! What is this! Why don't we let the disaster chemical come out and let's have a good fight! Stop hiding in the dark and making mysteries!" As he spoke, a middle-aged man with a body full of bone spurs leaned over and smashed it. mural.

"Stop!" There were a few people who were still rational and wanted to stop him subconsciously.

But the man with the bone spurs moved very fast, giving them no time to react. Just as the mural was about to be destroyed, suddenly, a strange scene happened.

The bone-spurred man's eyes, which were originally filled with violence, suddenly became hollow and lifeless, and the movement of smashing the mural suddenly stopped. Then he groaned and fell to the ground as if he had received a heavy blow.

He only twitched a few times and then passed out completely.

In the chaos, Shen Zhenan and Nan Jin looked at each other in tacit understanding, and before the people around them noticed anything unusual, they once again put on their masks of unknown reason.

Originally, the chaos this time should have ended completely after the bone-spurred man fell, but it seemed that his unreasonable behavior had awakened the disaster creature in the dark.

The originally soft and sound-insulating velvet carpet under your feet suddenly became a little burning.

Even through your shoes you can feel the heat, like stepping on a soldering iron.

Now the crowd trying to calm down finally noticed the huge changes around them.

The carpet that was under my feet a moment ago disappeared and was replaced by densely packed blood worms that were constantly crawling!

They are woven and interlaced.

If you don't look carefully, it is no different from an ordinary velvet carpet.

Now they are twisting their bodies, like red-hot iron blocks, exuding a red color. Even the huge stone pillars and rock walls supporting the main hall are flashing with terrifying blood at the same time.

The ground shook violently as the bloodworms twisted and clawed.

Several people who were unstable and failed to grasp the support point in time fell directly to the ground.

The bloodworms instantly penetrated through the exposed parts of his body, and his ears, nostrils and even mouth became palaces for the bloodworms to roam.

In the blink of an eye, the bloodworms completely ate away at his body.

The insect body, which was originally as small as a hair, suddenly grew into a waist as big as a bowl under his support.

Their attacks are also much more violent, and they can even take the initiative to strangle those inviters who keep running away.

These invitees had never seen such scenes of endless distortion of spiritual values. They even forgot that they had obtained disaster spells and props.

There was chaos in the hall.

A guy with props built a single-plank bridge in mid-air that could only accommodate one person. Seeing the pools of blood under his feet, he gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards the entrance of the main hall.

"Help me! Help me!"

"Let me go up!"

"Ahhhhh!"

"Bless yourself..." He dropped a cold word and opened the door.

As long as he can leave this damn area, he can avoid the pursuit of bloodworms. It doesn't matter to him what anomalies are hidden in the next house.

The scary thing is not the disaster, but the pig teammates.

But soon, all his plans came to nothing.

The door to the main hall couldn't be opened, as if it was welded shut. No matter how hard he pulled, it couldn't move.

The door was locked.

A terrible thought quietly exploded in his mind.

Damn, maybe the rules of Dream Cube are the same as Catastrophe...?
Only by killing the entities of the disaster in the area can you escape smoothly!

Seeing several unwilling people below trying to jump on his props, he ruthlessly put away the rest, leaving only the only foothold.

"Hey, can you at least show some real skills? I don't want to be held back by a bunch of pigs." He looked at the guy who was constantly being caught by bloodworms with an expressionless face, tilted his head and said coldly.

the other side.

The snap of fingers sounded again.

An urgent voice came from Shen Zhenan's ears: "Captain, I found the safe zone!"

"Okay, let's start transferring survivors. How many can we transfer at most at one time?" Shen Zhen'an's voice was mixed with the banging gunshots, and the bullets hit the largest blood worm.

He temporarily transferred the danger to himself to gain more time for the inviters who fled in panic.

"It takes 30 seconds to go back and forth, and ten people can be taken away at one time." He Qiao's figure was hidden in the shadows, and no one could detect his presence.

Shen Zhenan glanced at the remaining survivors with his peripheral vision. There were at least 50 people waiting for rescue.

time does not wait.

As the figures continued to fall, the bloodworms that were nourished and as thick as a giant python strangled them faster and faster.

One second later and someone might die in their hands.

The gun in Shen Zhenan's hand moved so fast that only a rough afterimage could be seen, and then he ordered in a tone that could not be refused: "The time is compressed to 20 seconds, Nanjin, go and assist He Qiao in transferring, leave this place to me!" "

The voice just fell.

Nan Jin understood and threw the pistol towards him, and quickly said: "There are ten more bullets."

At the same time, the snap of fingers sounded again, and the number of people in the hall instantly decreased by nine.

After Shen Zhenan finished firing the bullets in the gun, his eyes were accurately locked on the man floating in mid-air, who had been watching the fire from the other side: "If you don't want to die, let as many people as possible stand on it!"

"The rest who are still capable of fighting will follow me to kill the catastrophic creature!"
