Werther Castle.

A heavily armed young man opened the door to the basement, but what was inside the door behind him was not the first floor of the castle, but a white corridor that did not belong to the real world.

The theory is that there should be two professionally trained members of the Investigation Department standing not far behind him, and that various surveillance equipment was also installed under the stairs and in the basement during this time, but they have no effect now.

.

Because the person responsible for building these things is Ren Shizhi.

Eddie walked down with heavy steps and reached the basement without any obstruction. He saw the wooden door that Marn told him. He didn't know where it would take him.

But Eddie had no choice.

The door frame has intricate patterns carved on it, like some kind of magical incantation from the Western Federation.

After he stood in front of the door, Ma En suddenly sent a message:

"open the door."

Eddie put his hand on the handle.

This was no different from opening any door, but it was very similar to the scene he experienced when he came. There were no traces of artificial construction in front of him, and a dark and crowded cave appeared behind the door.

"Close the door and move on."

Eddie walked over.

He turned around and looked at the rectangular portal behind him, stretched out his hand to tighten the wooden door, and then the legend of this place connected to Werther Castle disappeared with his actions.

"Did you close the door?" he asked Maan through the employee panel.

"We have other ways to recover members, don't worry." He replied, "Continue to act."

In the Abnormal Control Bureau, Marn was sitting on a chair looking at the floating screen in front of him - it showed the world in Eddie's eyes, and there was a teleport button on the right side of it, but he did not tell Eddie

He could feel that the time required for teleportation had increased by about seven seconds.

Ma En looked at the floating screen. Eddie inside activated the lighting system on his body, and the dark cave became brighter.

The road in front of him could only allow three to five people to move forward side by side, and it was unclear how far they would have to go to leave. However, the wizards in the past should have walked here, so it shouldn't be particularly far.

Moreover, he also asked Eddie to bring enough food, so that this level 0 employee would still be hungry for a while.

Eddie followed Marne's orders and began to move forward.

This process was quite boring and much longer than they originally imagined. Eddie repaired three times as he moved forward, and it took a total of nearly four hours to get close to the exit, but this was also because of his average physical fitness.

.

But when the bright light appeared vaguely in the distance, Eddie unconsciously quickened his pace.

The moment he walked out of the cave, soft white light filled his entire body, and white cloud-like objects floated where the sky should have been. They were the light source that illuminated the world.

Looking at these luminous clouds, Eddie felt as if he was in a giant room. The light source in the sky had the same effect as the light bulbs in the room. They should be some kind of man-made product.

The ground was an empty wasteland, and there was nothing unusual about it. There were scattered weeds growing tenaciously on the ground in the distance, reminding them that this was not a deserted place.

There are two other noteworthy things in his field of vision. One is a tall tower reaching into the sky in front of him on the left. From this distance, it looks like a slender black needle. The other is two towers in front of him.

A hundred meters away is a road leading to the distance.

The position that finally came out behind him was the towering stone wall, which continued to extend as far as he could see with the naked eye. The road finally disappeared in front of the stone wall, but it didn't look like it stopped here, as if it

It was already built when the stone wall appeared.

"What do I do now?" Eddie asked.

Man said:

"First check if there are any traces of human passing."

Eddie searched the spot and then replied:

"I can't see anything."

He also has no expertise in this area.

"Follow the road," Marne said.

Although the tower was within his field of vision, based on its height and width, it was probably not easily accessible on foot, and the existence of roads meant that it was likely to lead to other man-made structures.

After receiving the order, Eddie headed towards the road according to Marne's request.

'There is also a way to teleport.'

When Eddie saw the weeds, Eddie actually thought that there might be food supplies needed for survival here, which gave him the idea of ​​​​escape. However, the information provided by Marn when entering also made him hesitate.

Ma En claimed that he could still take himself out of here, but this might also be a lie to appease himself.

However, these thoughts did not stay in Eddie's mind for long, because he soon remembered that he was an ordinary person, and without any abnormal abilities, there was no way he could survive in the wild for a long time.

Rather than taking the opportunity to escape and betting that Ma En can't do anything to him, Eddie felt that it was a better choice to pretend to cooperate and wait for the opportunity to look for opportunities in such an exploration mission.

Now that they gave him a chance, he would definitely make these guys regret not killing him in time.

As he moved forward in silence, both Ed and Marn noticed that the environment around him was slowly changing, with more vegetation gradually increasing, but they had not seen any animals yet.

The continued increase in vegetation distribution seemed to vaguely prove that he was heading in the right direction.

Eddie repaired several times on the road, and in the next five hours there was no change in progress, and the surrounding plants began to become more and more dense. He could occasionally see a few trees standing by the road.

Not far away.

And Marn noticed that the time required for Eddie's teleportation had also been extended to thirty-seven seconds.

Suddenly, when Eddie walked to a certain distance, the number of trees around him began to increase exponentially.

In less than two hundred meters, the environment around him changed from plains to forest.

"I feel that the surroundings are a little too quiet." Eddie said uneasily, "I have been to the forest, and it gave me a completely different feeling. Do you want me to do some repairs here."

He was obviously a little scared.

Ma En’s answer is also very direct:

"go ahead."

Eddie stood there:

"No, I think something is wrong.

"You need me to do this kind of work, then give me better treatment, and at least give me a few mortals to explore the way in front, otherwise I will go on strike."

This is a trial.

Eddie wanted to know if Marne could restrain himself remotely.

But before he could wait for Ma En's answer, he heard the rustling "wind sound".

The silence was broken.

Eddie looked around in horror, but saw nothing.

"Take me back!" He shouted quickly, "Take me back."

"You made a mistake." Ma En replied leisurely, "You are not an indispensable and important member, you are the lowest level consumable we use to explore the road. Do you want to go on strike?

"Okay, then you can face the world by yourself, and we will record everything you see and hear. You will become our official member and use it to avoid risks when exploring underground. We will remember how you did it.

dead.

"That's all your duty."

The wind blew through the branches and tore off a few fallen leaves.

Then the world in Eddie's eyes began to turn upside down, and the scene in front of Ma En fell into a brief darkness. He was knocked down to the ground by something, and was slapped wantonly like a hair ball, as if some wild beast was playing with it.

own prey.

When he stopped, he could feel the cold metal pressing against his back, and a slight heat coming from the back of his neck.

The attacker turned him over, and Eddie saw what was across from him.

A strong black cat, but it is not any creature they know, not a tiger, not a leopard, not a lion, and it is stronger and more flexible than these creatures, and the most important thing is that it has 30% of its body

The left and right sides are made of machinery.

This includes its limbs.

A cold mechanical sound came from the mechanical structure in the chest of this unknown beast:

"Detecting the concentration of gods in the individual's body: low.

"Testing individual human purity: High."

Marn had heard these two sentences before from the sleeping spider, but after a pause of a few seconds, it uttered a completely new sentence.

"It has been determined to be a human being and has not been infected by the gods. It does not need to be disinfected and will be killed according to standard procedures."

As these words fell, the big cat's hole suddenly glowed with a faint red light, and then several sounds of the operation of the mechanical structure were heard, and the scene in front of Ed slowly fell into darkness.

And the Anomaly Control Bureau's staff list is permanently missing a member.

The last mechanical sound coming from the big black cat made Ma En think of a possibility.
