Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 23: Squeeze and make do

After the meeting, Messiah found his temporary office in the Scholars Center Building. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw the golden light shining here from a distance, causing ripples in the air.

When he got closer, he could see a familiar shadow in the room. A rich golden light spread out with him as the center. Gu Lingxin stood nervously, and Gu Yu had already retreated to the corner.

Su Heng's consciousness has lost its connection with the outside world at this time. His eyes are empty and blank, his soul is wandering in unknown puzzles, and chaos emerges in front of his eyes for no reason, leading him into the boundless abyss.

At this moment, from his perspective, everything is illusory. The unorganized lines are gradually pieced together, and there seems to be some logical connection. However, the process of revealing the answer is like unlocking a heavily encrypted lock. There is always a mystery shrouding the eyes, which cannot be seen. the truth.

Occasionally I come into contact with the edge of the answer, but I can't touch the essence. It seems to be covered by a hazy fog, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

When Messiah saw him, his eyes were looking at the distant wall, and he occasionally spat out a few incomplete sentences in his mouth.

Seeing that the Messiah was coming, Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively: "Do you want to wake him up?"

I had only heard from them before that a scholar exploded and died after using his awakening ability. At that time, Gu Lingxin didn't take it to heart. Now looking at Su Heng, he looked like a time bomb, with invisible energy in his body. It was running around as if it would explode at any moment.

Messiah nodded and walked slowly towards Su Heng.

His emerald blue eyes were filled with golden light. While trying to meet Su Heng's chaotic eyes, he whispered Su Heng's name.

Su Heng's expression froze slightly, and he slowly turned to look at him, his eyes calm and calm, but if you look closely, you can see that the confusion and emptiness in his eyes are not decoration, as if in his world, except for himself, Nothing could bring about any change in his mood.

Messiah frowned. Judging from Su Heng's current state, he should have successfully interpreted part of the prophecy left by Elder Gao using [Peeping Star]. If he forcibly interrupted it, then this would be a problem for the Scholars Association. The all-important "answer" couldn't be more elusive.

But if he is allowed to continue, Su Heng will be trapped in the mystery and end up exploding to death.

Su Heng's expression still didn't change much. He was still as indifferent as if he never existed. His eyes swept across the crowd and then moved away. He didn't make any reaction or even answer a word, and continued to maintain the same status quo.

He called Su Heng's name a few more times.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Heng suddenly raised his head and looked at him. His dark pupils were like two bright stars, shining with a suffocating light under the magnificent golden light. Unknown power surged between his eyes. , Messiah's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt a sense of fear under such gaze, and quickly turned his face away to avoid being photographed by it.

Su Heng's eyes were as cold as ever, without any warmth, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, making people want to stay away involuntarily.

Messiah's palm gently stretched out and slowly pressed on Su Heng's forehead. Wu Zi activated [Insight], trying to pass on the heavy and steady power.

Only then did the Messiah realize that Su Heng's calm eyes seemed to be shrouded in a dense and thick fog, which was heart-stopping yet inviting, and an indescribable horror and coldness was hidden within. It seemed like something was looking at him through Su Heng's eyes.

So that shuddering feeling was transmitted from Su Heng to the two of them.

This kind of aura made the great law enforcers and scholars on other floors of the Scholars' Association Building couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines, and a sense of oppression lingered in every air in this land.

Seeing that something was wrong, Gu Lingxin took out Immortal Chengyun's Taoist Talisman without hesitation and slapped Su Heng on the back of the head.

The golden light dissipated, night fell outside the window, and the cruise plane flew past at low altitude. The piercing alarm sounded from far away, then nearer, and then dissipated in the distance.

Messiah withdrew his hand and looked at Su Heng again with a solemn expression. Su Heng's vision returned to clarity, but his face was still ugly. His fingertips were trembling slightly, and confusion and pain were intertwined in front of his eyes.

Seeing that his condition had improved, Gu Lingxin immediately asked, "What did you see?"

Su Heng was brought back to some consciousness by the clear voice, and his delicate and beautiful face was extremely pale. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a pen and scrawled a few lines on the white paper.

Gu Lingxin secretly took back the Taoist Talisman and looked sideways at it. Four lines of incomprehensible bytes were written on the white paper.

Illusionist

abyss of loneliness
Eye of the Dead
sky sea

Then Su Heng paused.

It’s a phrase I’ve never seen before in my previous life. Gu Ling thought to herself.

"What does this mean?" Gu Yu came over to watch the fun.

"I don't know." Su Heng threw away the pen and slumped on the chair with a look of despair. His brain was still a little confused. It was not wise to think about it at this time.

"Let the scholars study this kind of thing." Messiah took a few photos of the words on the paper and sent them, "Go back and rest."

"Return? Where?" Gu Ling was confused. The official base was the strictest security station. Could it be that the official would place the recruited awakened people in other locations?

"First, this is not an official place, but the site of the Scholars Association, for scholars to discuss and research. Second, the official Awakened Base..." Messiah recalled, with a look of disgust on his face, "The conditions are too Sorry, go to my place and squeeze in for a while."

Twenty minutes later, the black Phantom pulled into an empty parking lot.

A modern building with no top visible stood in front of a few people. The glass curtain wall reflected the faint moonlight. If this place had not been swept by disaster, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a commercial building or a high-end club in the city center.

"Is this your home?" Gu Lingxin looked up, her neck was stiff and she didn't see that there was a residential building here.

In today's world, simple money is far less useful than assets. Messiah, who grew up in capitalism, explains this well.

This area is located right in the city center, and the design is beautiful and exquisite. Although the safety of other places in Haishi is much higher than that of other cities, it still looks like it was invaded by infected people in the early days of the apocalypse. However, this place seems to be independent of the disaster. Outside, there are alloy fences equipped with anti-theft locks, retractable speed gates, and elevators that require identity verification, giving you a sense of security.

Messiah responded lightly, and while walking towards the inside of the building, he did not forget to tell Gu Lingxin and Gu Yu: "You live on the 14th and 15th floors."

"layer?"

Five minutes later, Gu Lingxin obtained her staff dormitory - an entire floor of a commercial building in the middle of the capital, where land was at a premium.
