Chapter 718 Death Ritual (Two in One)
The sound of the toilet was so refreshing that Liu Sheng had enough knowledge of the bad taste of the low-end version of "World", and he wanted to rush it into the sewer.
[You can't all arrange some particularly good rewards, right? Otherwise, how can I continue to play this game? 】The low-end version of "World" said aggrievedly.
Liu Sheng:...
Lift your stiff hand and slowly put on your earplugs.
【But...will these tasks be too simple? 】
[Mainly, we are different from the past...]
[And what we can take out for everyone to experience is of course not the kind of difficulty that can reach level A or above! 】
At this time, the system sounded:
[It seems that some people are so proud~]
【Then make some difficulty! 】
[Open Mission Four - The Truth of Ascension! 】
This has indeed increased the difficulty.
Liu Sheng searched the system over and over again, but could not find any information about "Ascendance". And the "Assault Room" has no relevant information, as if this place does not exist in an institution at all.
At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the room.
The red lights flashed with dazzling lights.
The breath that was originally quiet in the office was broken in an instant.
A rustling sound rang out, and colleagues who were originally like dead people raised their heads instantly, one by one, like alert mongooses. The chair dragged and made a harsh sound, and they stood up and looked at each other with caution.
"It's my turn to go?"
"How is it your turn? I came in earlier than you."
"But I work harder than you. Do you want to check the frequency of my checking below? You are a bunch of cowards!"
"Take you down, you're just going down to get a call. Otherwise, why didn't you volunteer when the alarm bell rang just now?"
"I suddenly had a stomachache just now!"
"So, you all want to go?"
A hoarse voice penetrated into the argument, like a whisper squeezed from the rotten throat.
Everyone looked at the voice-out--Liu Sheng.
Under the dim light, her pale face looked extremely strange, even with a bit of death...
And another colleague who followed him back...
Sitting there, he didn't move, staring at the screen, revealing a blue and white face.
They finally realized something was wrong, and the moment they wanted to scream was stopped by tentacles.
The screams were strangled in the throat.
...
The alarm sounded throughout the organization.
But the departments to be dispatched are the executive department and the corpse department.
Two members of the executive department walked into the elevator quickly, but when the door was about to close, they saw two colleagues in the body squeeze in.
"Why are you here? The alarm bell is almost over!" The colleague in the executive department said in a bad tone. "If I hadn't known that you couldn't get up, I wouldn't have waited for you."
Another colleague from the executive department looked even more friendly and smiled and said, "Don't worry, just wait a moment."
"Sorry, I solved something just now."
The speaker was a little hoarse and sounded as if his nails were scratching the blackboard.
The two people in the executive department exchanged their eyes, but it was not surprising.
After all, there is a quarrel before every time the body is dispatched, and fighting has become a tradition.
The eyes flashed across the faces of the two men, which were scaryly pale, but there was still some blood, like an uneven blush, which made the appearance even whiter.
It's more like a dead person.
"So it's you this time?"
"Yes, hehe."
"That's good. This is a good opportunity. I wish you ascend as soon as possible." A colleague from the executive department threw down lightly.
"Hehe, I'll lend you a good word."
In addition, the more intimate member of the executive branch said with envy: "I really envy you, unlike us, you have to work hard to make enough money to ascend..."
One more concerned:
"By the way, what's wrong with your voice?"
"It's nothing, it's just a trachea injury..."
"Oh..."
I understand, it is normal to fight to the trachea.
"Be careful. Although such an opportunity is rare, don't try too hard. Remember, your life belongs to the God of Light, don't use it in such a meaningless place."
"Thank you for your concern..."
This colleague who was "being hit the trachea" so he was hoarse, was naturally Liu Sheng.
She felt no trouble in her heart about the hypocritical care and deep sense of superiority that the other party showed. On the contrary, the obvious dislike and disdain in the eyes of another person is more real.
While speaking, Liu Sheng had no authority to arrive at the ground level.
What caught my eye was a huge glass cover that covered the outside, with three rusty cars, like old antiques left over from the old era.
The most conspicuous thing is the yellow bus, which is so rusty that it cannot see the original color clearly, and the body of the car also says "Friendly Elementary School".
The two executive departments walked straight towards the school bus.
After looking back, the two people in the corpse were standing woodenly, and the other looked back at the elevator, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Come on!"
"Oh."
Then the two of them caught up slowly.
After getting on the bus, the kind colleague asked, "What, you heard that the elevator broke down today?"
"Yeah..."
"It's weird that it's said that it's overloaded after only three or four people sitting. Fortunately, it didn't show up just now. I think those people are eating too much."
"Yeah."
"I want to tell you that this elevator is too old and I don't know what kind of handmade goods it is, like this school bus."
The school bus, who had no idea how many goods were, started with a roar, and black smoke rolled, swaying out of the protection of the glass cover.
"It's indeed a stingy company!"
"Yeah."
Liu Sheng responded casually, and when he looked back, the entire building was a transparent house with only one floor.
Looking around, the entire land was filled with such low buildings.
The ground was deserted everywhere, eroded by countless dark vines, exuding a strange ominous aura. These glass covers looked like transparent beads embedded in this dim land.
【Are there no tall buildings? 】
Seeing Liu Sheng looking around curiously, the executive department colleague who was facing three cold colleagues and really no one chatted with her took the initiative to start the topic:
"What? I haven't gotten out of the ground for too long. I think it's fresh?"
"Yes." "You have too poor resistance, and it's easy to get into trouble when you come out. This is to protect you."
"Yeah."
"It's great to live in a company. We have to travel between the company and the family every day, and we have to pay the rent. We don't know when we can save enough money to get the money..."
The other party looked bitter and revengeful, but his tone showed a sense of undetectable superiority.
Top?
So Liu Sheng looked up and found that this was a world where the sky could not be seen.
There is a deep dome above, with a translucent material but a deep color cannot be seen clearly, but a long black shadow with a faint mottled falls down and is projected on this ground.
At first she didn't understand what those shadows were. Until she saw the lights and shadows moving in them, like black lice and strip-shaped long shadows, she realized that they were speed and trains passing through the skyscrapers.
Occasionally, there are light colors that penetrate the dome and fall on this dark earth, as if there is a more exciting and bright world on it, unlike this world, so dark, barren and desolate.
"But it's not that fast enough to get up..." Liu Sheng said tentatively.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The other party doesn't care:
"Oh, you'll be here when you close your eyes and open your eyes."
...
The eyes flashed and the destination arrived.
There is a more desolate land in front of you.
The entire ground seemed to be in danger after the disaster, with only broken walls and ruins left in the building, with a strong and treacherous atmosphere filled the space, but there was no glass cover here to protect it.
Colleagues in the executive department are wearing protective masks and protective clothing.
Seeing Liu Sheng looking at them with a wooden face, they said, "Anyway, you don't need it, there is no need to waste resources. Our small company has to save some..."
The school bus bypassed a bunch of black tents built among the broken walls and finally stopped next to the relatively complete building in the center of the tent group.
When Liu Sheng saw it, a vague memory flashed in his mind - this is a temple.
"Bring the tools and go down." The colleague of the executive department who had been silent suddenly spoke, his tone of coldness.
Liu Sheng and his "teammates" walked off the school bus without protection, carrying a heavy box.
"You go ahead."
Liu Sheng did not refute, and walked silently before the two executive colleagues, and was the first to step into the temple.
As soon as I stepped into the door, a strong smell of blood came to my face.
At first glance, ordinary people may scream or collapse on the spot. But Liu Sheng's expression was calm and her heart was calm; and her "teammate" was even silent, following her like an emotional statue.
"Are you not afraid?" Another colleague from the executive department mocked, "That's right, because this is what your hometown is, right? But at that time... you were not qualified to participate."
Liu Sheng ignored the meaningful sarcasm and just quietly looked at the scene that reappeared in front of him like hell.
Fifty-eight corpses formed three circles inside and outside, all of them lowered their heads, and blood flowed down the corners of their mouths, leaving no breath of life.
But what is even more strange is that some strange structures have grown on these corpses, as if they no longer belong to the human form.
And in the temple, a tall statue stands. Its body still vaguely shows a human outline, but its head is a shiny ball of light, emitting warm light, and the soft light sprinkles on this bloody scene.
Blood slowly flowed along the ground, pouring into the roughly chiseled gullies, forming a huge and strange magic array that just included these fifty-eight people.
No, there are two more places.
It seems to be specially prepared for whom.
...
When Liu Sheng and her teammates walked out, they had already changed into protective suits, with dazzling bright red blood splashing outside, and bright yellow clothes could be seen under the protective suits.
The bodies were carried out one by one and placed on the school bus.
There are a total of sixty.
After lifting the body, Liu Sheng also flipped out a video recorder from the car.
She also said to her silent teammates: "I'll try it out, saying that I'll make a good service record...
Teammates remained silent.
Liu Sheng cleared his throat: "Hehe, today is January 23, the tenth year of the Guangming Era. This... the villagers of Hall Village have collected all the offerings and obtained the qualification for the ascension ceremony. It took 13 days from qualification application to formal execution. The progress is smooth and everything has been completed now."
"That... the appearance has been sorted out, the corpse is archived, no, the death archive report has been written, and the colleagues in the corpse department have...he has made heroic contributions to complete the mission."
"Sixty corpses are now transported back to the headquarters for grooming and freezing, waiting for the summons of the God of Light."
She pointed the video recorder at herself and her teammates and added coldly: "Executor, PWAS3256 and TRXS0814, Hongsheng Feisheng Co., Ltd."
When the car started, Liu Sheng's eyes swept over the tent group.
In the dark shadows of the tent, there was always someone peeking at him sneakily, his eyes alert and cowardly.
She knew that these were people who were not even qualified to attend the ceremony.
The corpses sitting in the back row and swaying quietly in the car are all so-called people from the bottom. They have accumulated enough offerings to exchange for the opportunity to hold the ascension ceremony.
Ascension means changing one's destiny against the will of heaven.
That's why they will do anything.
However, the biggest problem is that the ascension ceremony was firmly controlled by the large group and the price was very high.
Therefore, some people who have no money can only find a small company like "Hongsheng" and hold a pirated ascension ceremony. The price is cheaper, but the ascension will last longer.
But as my colleague said, when you close your eyes and open them, what is the time in between?
This is the truth about their institution.
Knowing this does not mean that Liu Sheng really understands the truth about Ascension.
So [Task 4] has not been prompted to complete.
But Liu Sheng already knew the direction.
She held the steering wheel and looked into the distance.
...
Hongsheng Feisheng Co., Ltd. is under the second floor.
Liu Sheng drove into the company on the school bus. Two colleagues from the cleaning department appeared and transported the bodies to the processing room on the second floor.
"Why are you bringing the body parts in advance..."
A cleaning department asked a question when he moved the bodies of the two gray clothes.
"It's in the way." Liu Sheng replied briefly.
The other party shook his head: "You can come back and talk about it. You can also help us lift the body and deal with the abnormalities. We don't have to do it ourselves..."
Another colleague from the cleaning department pulled her sleeve: "Forget it, don't you say that the success rate of death in the ceremony is higher? We haven't... ascended..."
"Okay, too."
"I hope the two people in the corpse will be of better quality this time and can catalyze it quickly..."
Next, each corpse needs to go through a strict "cleaning up" process - removing the excess structure, restoring it into a human form, and thoroughly checking whether there are any strange auras left.
If something is found, use a purifier to force the treatment.
Many colleagues are used to using this "quick" method. Although the purifier can quickly restore the human form, the side effects are also written on the bottle - excessive purification will lead to excessive purification of the corpse.
A strange sentence, but I think this is the origin of those "strange corpses".
After the cleaning was completed, the body was replaced with light blue clothes and neatly placed in the morgue, with the door closed.
The second floor of the negative was empty again.
But behind every door of each room, there were rustling scratches, and tiny tentacles stretched out from inside and spread throughout the corridor...
