Chapter 1129 Heart of Darkness (Part 2)
“What is this?”
Melissa asked softly. Although she knew that there was a rock in front of her, she was not entirely sure.
"The partition wall at the end of the tunnel."
The Inquisitor told her.
"The excavators have removed all the collapsed stones, but these things are blocking us, and the style is too uniform. They cannot be natural. They may be part of a special-shaped building. The purpose is not clear, and we cannot get around it."
"Maybe it's one of the other tunnels..."
After looking around, the one-eyed mercenary said this.
“No.”
Melissa shook her head, running her fingers along the rock.
Its presence filled her consciousness.
".The surface has a curvature. This is a sphere, very large."
"A sphere?"
The Tech-Priest made a questioning sound.
“If it’s true, there’s no way my machine can’t detect it——”
But the Inquisitor interrupted.
"Our interpretation makes no sense, she may not be sure, but it is very possible, and yes, we should believe Ms. Melissa."
Subsequently, Lennart. Meyers looked at Melissa and whispered in an unprecedented and respectful tone:
"Can you tell what is on the other side? What will we find if we break through?"
>Melissa endured the pain. She forced herself to examine the terrain more fully. In this place that was more distorted than reality, she prepared herself for the worst attack. She was convinced that she was about to encounter the core of subversive power. .
However, she found nothing.
This sphere is hollow.
Inside is a vast void, a void filled with unknowns, but without enemies.
“There’s nothing there.”
Melissa’s tone also became full of uncertainty.
"This sphere...is an empty shell?"
"Empty shell?"
"No, it could also be some kind of center."
As she said that, she She took her hands away.
"It may be the source of the entire underground structure."
Lennart Meyers nodded thoughtfully and whispered:
"As I said before, this is a machine."
The judge's words were more It was like talking to herself, but the choice loomed in front of Melissa.
This is something she shouldn't believe, and this is something she cannot avoid.
However, she also wanted to know whether she agreed with the inquisitor's disgusting and crazy conclusion.
She wasn't so sure.
The judge was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said to the people around him:
"Let's do this for today. Seal this place. No one is allowed to enter or exit without my order. We will find a way tomorrow. . ”
So, the day ended, and everyone returned to the camp to repair or rest.
The servants started making fires to cook, while the soldiers and mercenaries maintained their weapons as always. Although they had not fired a single shot in the past few days, the Paiji Star itself was a huge battlefield. Who could I don’t know what will happen next moment or what will appear.
Being prepared never goes out of style for those of you who want to be prepared.
Melissa's choice is different from others. She chose to sleep.
At first, her sleep was peaceful, until night——
A shadow struck Melissa, and the attack happened very suddenly, beyond her expectation.
All defenses kept against themselves, a shield against which she surveyed her madness, but they were powerless against the power behind the shadows.
Its influence is breaking through the barrier between the subspace and the physical universe, disrupting her dreams.
As a strictly trained legal psyker, Melissa tried in vain to search for echoes of herself the first time her dreams began to fluctuate.
But her soul vision failed, the waves of the warp swallowed up the light, and as she stared into the darkness, the attack came suddenly.
It came to her room, and as soon as it appeared, Melissa felt like she didn't exist.
But she was strong and agile, and she worked hard to control herself in the dream, decisively closing the connection between her mental consciousness and the subspace, getting rid of its clutches, and setting up her own defense.
Speed, strength and training, these seemingly useless daily trainings all helped her.
But the shadows still shattered Melissa's shield, they laughed ferociously, and their laughter turned into razors grazing her skin.
Then she roared again, the voice turning into a curse, drowning her consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was blind for the first time in her life.
"How could-"
Melissa gasped, fighting against the suffocating sense of panic in the winter of senses.
She could feel the expansion of her chest, and gradually regained consciousness in her limbs. Then she bent her fingers and felt them scraping against the metal floor, indicating that she fell from the bed.
I also felt a stabbing pain in my neck and back of my neck. It was obvious that her posture was not very beautiful when she fell.
Slowly, she gradually understood her location and the surrounding situation, and her consciousness gradually awakened from paralysis.
A terrifying concept enveloped her -
She became fragile, not knowing how long she had been in a coma, and lost her due responsibilities.
What's worse comes from her knowledge of what happened.
She was attacked, there was an attacker.
Then she stood up and off the floor, her awareness of her surroundings returning to her, but not as perfect as before, as if they had degraded.
She reached for her cane, which should be leaning against the seat.
Melissa took hold of it, steadying herself, then braced herself, and cautiously reached out her hand.
“Hiss——”
She grunted in pain, and warm tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Sharp, jagged spots appeared on her retinas, and interference affected her perception.
They were like claws and broken glass, embodiments of some invisible pain, twisted madness superimposed on madness.
She is wondering whether this is the sequelae of touching the mysterious sphere during the day?
Melissa felt very thirsty, but there was no water in her house. She wanted to find some water outside the tent, so she walked to the entrance of the tent and gently opened the curtain.
I saw calm as water outside, with a few bonfires burning in the distance, those were the night watchmen.
Seeing the light, Melissa felt a little calmer. She was about to walk over when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow flashing in the dark.
"Huh?"
In doubt, she concentrated her attention and even used some of her remaining mental power to observe a vague figure walking cautiously towards the deep pit, while the figure who was supposed to be on guard around it was Guards, but no one was seen.
“He is——”
Melissa hesitated for a moment, and the word “traitor” popped into her mind.
There may be a spy in the team!
This was a big deal, and knowing that it was not simple, she intensified her vision again, and finally saw the man's identity clearly, but her hands were trembling with fear -
"Judge!?"< br>
