Chapter 160 Vortex
The emergence of cultists riding on Baiaki in Gadamon's illusion is obviously not a leisurely pastime.
You don’t have to think about it and know that it must be these cultists who intend to be monsters.
"The guy I met just now said that I might meet you later. I thought it was a polite word. Now it seems that the Ubobuna organization has an event tonight. It's time for us to come in. How is your mental state? Can you still stick to it?"
Zhu Jue looked at Baiyaki who was gradually disappearing in the dark sky in the distance, and asked Gu Yinqiao beside him while walking quickly.
"No problem for the time being, I haven't felt a trance yet."
Aware of Zhu Jue's purpose of action, Gu Yinqiao closed her eyes and felt her mental state before giving a positive response.
Although he entered the illusion when his spirit was not fully recovered, he was reborn and matured again. Compared to the involuntary fear of facing various bizarre scenes when he first entered, Gu Gingko had learned to avoid the images that would affect her spirit as much as possible.
In addition, she has been staying near the epidemic prevention center and has not had much interaction with the monsters in the illusion, so her mental state is still stable.
"I'm going to follow and take a look. If I feel I can't hold on, please tell me anytime."
Now is not the time to be pretentious, Zhu Jue, who received the response, did not hesitate and took Gu Yinqi to the intercity rail station near the outer street.
Although the two were wearing cult robes, they were only "actors" after all, so they naturally could not take Baiyaki as a real cult. Zhu Jue had ridden Baiyaki before, but the talismans that summoned "Heavenly Ghosts" had been completely used up in the swamp town where Glaki had existed.
Not to mention that if Gu Ginkgo was too close to Baiyaki, they would probably have to find a way to return to reality halfway through.
Fortunately, based on Gu Yinqiao's mental state, Gadamon's illusion simulated most of the infrastructure of Qianfan City. It is the same thing that people cannot be seen. Their operations are carried out in the real world, which means that large vehicles such as intercity rail cars are still operating in the central empty space.
Of course, since this is a illusion created by Gadamon, some changes are inevitable.
Leather boots stepped into the puddle and came to the entrance of the station before the splashing black mucus landed. The originally lively station was full of bleak scenes when they looked in. The dark yellow light was projected from the lights on the ceiling.
I have to say that compared to other areas when I came here, this place is normal!
"Hurry up and go!"
Under Zhu Jue's guidance, Gu Yinqiao directly crossed the station gate, skipped the steps of ticket checking, and sneaked into the station.
The mechanical ticket inspector with metal black appeared on the edge of the gate. He didn't realize it at all, but gray-white steam was sprayed out from the joints, standing in place, trembling as if it could dissipate into parts on the ground at any time.
The setting inside the station is somewhat like a subway platform. The outer periphery is blocked by a full-height shielding door, leaving only a few openings corresponding to the door. Before the vehicle enters the track, the outside rainwater hits the transparent shielding door in the reflection of the lights in the station. When it slides down, it suddenly turns into reddish-brown rust water, flowing on the special glass to all sides, marking several unknown trajectories.
The hanging track outside the shield door extends into the darkness further away, and it seems like a cloud of air fog, surging and rolling, making people feel uncomfortable for no reason.
Ding ~ Ding ~
The sound of the train's impending close combat made Zhu Jue retract his attention. He glanced at Gu Yinqiao and found that she was standing next to her with her eyes closed, with a calm expression.
This method, like an ostrich, seems to be quite good, because the buzzing sounds from the train as it approaches can cover up most of the illusion sounds.
Simply board the train to the higher community.
As expected, except for Zhu Jue and the others in the carriage, there were only strange monsters sitting or standing in each carriage. So in order to extend the stay in Gadamon's illusion, Gu Gingko simply gave up observing the surroundings.
Zhu Jue, who had long been accustomed to this kind of terrifying scene, stood by the car door and looked at the sky above the central hollow through the strips of transparent glass on both sides, hoping to find the traces of Baiaki and the cultists again.
Facts proved that Zhu Jue's luck was pretty good. Just when the train was parked at a station briefly, Baiaki appeared in the central empty space outside the vehicle. He counted it roughly, and the number was about twelve, and there were cultists on his back as before.
Before this, Zhu Jue did not see Baiyaki landing from the top, which means that another group of people should have appeared in front of him at this time.
As the train started again, Zhu Jue began to take Gu Gingko to constantly change positions in the train, ensuring that the group of Baiyakis could always exist in his own field of vision.
Not long after, Zhu Jue discovered that the group of cultists were obviously approaching somewhere in the high-rise community of Qianfan City, without stopping along the way.
Nearly 15 minutes later, the train gradually entered a train stop in Community No. 3.
Through the window, Zhu Jue saw that the Baiyaki group began to change from circling up to parallel flying postures, and quickly rushed into a place in the higher-level community.
Zhu Jue tried to position it through certain specifics presented in that area, but the endless rain outside the car window made the already chaotic light even more turbid.
Crunch ~
The emergency brakes and the friction between the wheels and the tracks was extremely harsh. Zhu Jue, who was focusing on finding several characteristic points, looked back at the scene inside the station in surprise.
According to the normal operating state, the train stayed for about 20 seconds after entering the station. Just now he clearly felt the tremor when the train started again. Now it was abruptly stopping. It should be that there was a problem with the station or train in the real world.
"Ginkgo, we're ready to get off the bus and walk."
I barely remember the shapes of the light signs at the target location. Zhu Jue is preparing to go down when the train door is opened. There is a direct lift between the high-rise communities, which is more convenient than intercity rail trains.
"Wait first, Zhu Jue, look at the people around you!"
Holding Zhujue's arm, who was about to walk out, Gu Yinqiao, who opened her eyes, pointed at the surrounding passengers.
Because all normal people are blocked, only souls with mental problems appear in the carriage, and the situation in the carriage is almost clear from the left and right of their locations and even further away.
As the train was braked urgently, these "people" were leaning against the window on the empty floor at the same time. Although they could not see any information on their expressions, their body movements were surprisingly consistent. To be precise, they were all looking somewhere outside the window!
Zhu Jue stood beside a monster, adjusted his posture, looked out along its sight, and immediately noticed that a huge vortex appeared in the air between the Lower City and the Sky City. The already obscure night scene was now like it was torn apart by an invisible hand, and the majestic black and purple energy came out from it and poured into the streets of Community No. 1.
"This vortex is connected wrong. This is a illusion created by Gadamon. These people should be people in the real world. What are they looking at?"
Zhu Jue stared at the strange situation outside and was talking, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
He saw the vortex, so what are these people outside the illusion seeing?
