Chapter 358 Shock and Disappearance

Chapter 358 Shock and Disappearance
An Zhiyan did not agree with Qi Yan's risky behavior.

In her opinion, since Yu Xiaoru and Wu Rui had not come back for such a long time and had not appeared again, the possibility of encountering an unexpected situation was almost 100%.

If Qi Yan went there, she would most likely "disappear" inexplicably.

"From now on, the distance between us should not exceed two meters. It is best to use something to connect us. The previous vibration seems to not only damage the environment, but also affect and change it."

Before this, An Zhiyan and her friends had tried to contact the missing members using their mobile phones, but it was obvious that it was common for mobile phones to have no signal in the level scenes.

"Let's hold hands for now!" An Zhiyan thought of a very safe solution.

This should prevent further disappearances.

At least if the other person is taken away, you can notice it immediately.

The three of them were holding hands at this time, An Zhiyan walked in front, followed by Qi Yan, and then Zhou Ji.

After walking along the same path for a while, An Zhiyan stopped.

Originally, this corridor was only about twenty meters long and you could walk to the end, turn a corner, and walk another ten meters to the elevator entrance.

Under normal circumstances, you can get there within a minute.

But just now, the three of them had been walking in a straight line for more than two minutes, and the distance they walked was at least close to one hundred meters.

Because I was walking very carefully, I went a little slower.

But the corridor ahead still seemed to have no end.

"No wonder Xiaoru and Wu Rui can't get around."

The reason has been found, but the situation is still dangerous. The area and structure here have undergone unknown changes. Not to mention the larger area, just this corridor alone, it is difficult to predict where it will lead to.

"There's a fork in the road ahead!"

An Zhiyan said at this time.

Zhou Ji and Qi Yan stuck their heads out to take a look, and sure enough, there was a passage turning left in front of them.

It was also pitch black, with cracked ground. Some of the original chairs in the corridor were lying there in a mess. There was also a water dispenser and a few pots of green plants near the corner, but they were also tilted.

The doors of some wards were open, and cold air blew out.

The current situation is that they need to choose whether to continue forward or take the fork in the road.

If you don't know where the two roads will lead to, it is meaningless to make more assumptions. In other words, it doesn't matter which road you choose.

But everyone knows that the choice of route is very important. If you choose the wrong one, it may lead to different results.

This result may be the difference between life and death.

Just as An Zhiyan was thinking about how to choose between the two routes, the previous shock occurred again.

Loud rumbling and distorted sounds filled the eardrums.

However, for An Zhiyan, having experienced this twice, she has become accustomed to it.

At this moment, she was holding Zhou Ji's hand, and Zhou Ji was holding Qi Yan. In this way, if any problem occurred among any of the three of them, they could detect it at the first time.

This time the vibration and the resulting dizziness seemed to be stronger than the previous two times.

Even An Zhiyan could only close her eyes and endure the dizziness under such stimulation.

It took about ten seconds for the vibration and dizziness to disappear.

"Why is it so strong this time?" An Zhiyan felt something was wrong. Fortunately, she was still holding Zhou Ji's hand, and the other party did not give any warning, which meant that Qi Yan was there too.

Then, it's not a big problem.

But now it seems that this strange vibration can be confirmed to be periodic.

Even, it is a certain 'mechanism' in this level scene.

Based on the previous situation, each vibration will change the environment of the scene. For example, the passage will collapse and be blocked by some broken floors and walls. There will also be some deep pits, and even some rooms and passages will disappear.
In short, vibrations will change the environment, but An Zhiyan currently doesn’t know whether there is any pattern to the changes in the environment.

She opened her eyes and covered her mouth and nose with her other hand, because every vibration would produce a large amount of dust, which would be very irritating to her mouth, nose and respiratory tract.

But she soon discovered the problem.

She found that the T-junction was gone.

There was even a collapsed wall in front of him, completely blocking the passage.

However, there is a crack in the wall next to it, so I should be able to pass through.

In addition, the surrounding environment has changed a lot, more than the previous two times. She can be sure that this is definitely not the same corridor as before.

"I will help you."

An Zhiyan grabbed the phone and was about to ask, but when she turned her head, she was stunned.

There was a lot of dust around her, and it was pitch black within half a meter around her. She couldn't see clearly. There was no figure behind her. Zhou Ji and Qi Yan were gone.

But she still held a hand. This hand was pale and bloodless, and felt cold.

The arm extended forward into the darkness like a snake. No one knew how long it was or where it extended to.

If this happened to anyone else, they would be frightened to death, or at least become stiff and have a blank mind for a few seconds because of the stimulation and incomprehensible strange situation.

But An Zhiyan skipped this process and wanted to pull her hand back immediately.

However, the pale hand seemed to have noticed it and almost at the same time grabbed her hand tightly, preventing her from pulling it away.

An Zhiyan felt a huge force coming from the other party's palm, and she chose to enter the [Werewolf State] without hesitation.

There was no way. If she was slower, her palm bones would have been crushed immediately.

With a low wolf howl, An Zhiyan finally overpowered the pale strange hand in strength, and then tried to pull the other party over, but she didn't expect that the power of this hand was also extraordinary. After a moment of stalemate, they both let go.

The pale hand shrank back quickly like a snake and disappeared.

In the werewolf state, An Zhiyan relied on [Absolute Reason] to stay awake, and her perception ability was greatly enhanced at this moment.

What is certain is that the environment here is completely different from the previous corridor.

An Zhiyan did not act rashly. She immediately got rid of the werewolf state, but she could not keep the clothes on her body. Fortunately, she was prepared this time and saved several sets of [Fashion] cards in her card ring in advance.

In the card system, there are important and rare numbered levels, as well as some card props that are of little use.

【Fashion】 is a kind of, to put it simply, clothes that can be turned into cards.

After putting on the loose robe, An Zhiyan was sure of one thing.

From her perspective, the environment changed and Zhou Ji and Qi Yan disappeared.

But if we change our perspective, from the perspective of Zhou Ji and Qi Yan, then the environment may not become so drastic. The most important thing is that the missing person is actually themselves.

"Regular vibrations lead to changes in the environment and the disappearance of people. Some force forcibly separates the people who are collecting memories in the scene. The known danger currently comes from that strange pale palm. The power is huge, but as long as you fight back, the opponent will shrink back immediately."

In the past, the Awakener Association’s guides all included scenes with information.

The rules, properties, difficulty levels and danger points in the scene can all be mastered in advance. However, this time the situation is different. The sudden appearance of the level scene is completely unknown to them.

Unknown scenarios are often very dangerous.

Without knowing the mechanisms and danger points, or even the attributes and levels, a wrong step could immediately send you to the next cycle day.

Most people would be at a loss or even afraid to take action when faced with this situation.

But An Zhiyan won’t.

She’s thinking about the mechanics of the scene.

"It is certain that the unknown regular vibration is one of the mechanisms of this scene. Every vibration will change the structure of the scene. But no matter how it changes, this scene seems to be inside a huge building. In other words, this scene can be considered a 'maze'."

"A 'maze' that can change its structure regularly. As expected, this scene is very difficult, because we don't know the size of the scene, let alone the area involved. If we just wander around randomly, it is impossible to find the exit!"

"But this maze cannot be completely without rules. Luo Xi said that no scene can be designed to be a mechanism of certain death, so there must be a way out for the people who have forgotten their memories. What I have to do is to find this way out or find Luo Xi."

An Zhiyan almost immediately made plans for the next step.

She didn't make any sound just now, and the surroundings were extremely silent except for the rumbling and distorting sounds coming from some unknown place.

Can't hear anyone else.

"I calculated that the interval between each vibration is about seven minutes. In other words, these seven minutes are a critical period for searching for clues and exploring the scene."

"But this kind of periodic vibration should not be infinite. Assuming that this vibration and the change of the maze are limited in number, like a countdown, then what will happen when the countdown reaches zero?"

The most likely answer An Zhiyan could get was total annihilation.

All the people who retrieve memories in the maze scene will die.

Of course this is just a hypothesis, one of many possibilities.

"If this hypothesis is true, then every scene change caused by a vibration must reveal some important clues. But if there is only one person, how can we collect all the clues? It is too difficult."

An Zhiyan looked around at this time, and she began to move forward, and her speed was getting faster and faster.

Suddenly, she stopped.

"what is this?"

She found a clock hanging on a cracked wall.

That is, a wall clock.

What concerned An Zhiyan was the style of the clock. It was very strange. It looked like an eye, narrow on both sides and wide in the middle, with the eyeball being the dial.

In addition, there is fluorescence on it, which can be seen even in a pitch-black environment. If you see it suddenly, you would think there is an eye peeping at you in the dark.
