: Both Ends of the Balance 19Kai Xin’s chaotic thoughts were instantly cleared up.

One step ahead of me, you found “I”?

Find me?

She once made a bet with August, betting who could find each other first. Now the Augus of the first world is in front of him, and Kuixin found him, but after entering the dark realm, Augus looked at his “self” in the dark realm and said this sentence again.

What Kai Xin found was probably the body of Augs from the Second World!

She took out her mobile phone and looked down. Not surprisingly, she found that her mobile phone had failed. The screen was black, and she couldn’t turn it on no matter what.

Previously, Li Guanran and others tried to use drones and robots to invade here, but they also failed. This place is the gap between the world and the world, a mysterious and unknown area, and technological equipment will fail after entering it. People with extraordinary abilities enter it. Ability will also be eliminated.

Kai Xin’s probing eye is a passive skill that takes effect anytime and anywhere, but when she turned around to see Augus just now, she couldn’t see any extraordinary abilities on him.

“The people on the ground are you…” Kai Xin’s voice became lower, and she said slowly in English with a slight accent, “The waste equipment processing room of the Fugang Nuclear Power Plant in the second world overlaps with the tobacco factory in Tonglin City , the dark world is the intersection of the two worlds. You entered the nuclear power plant in the second world, and returned to our world there.”

Augus carefully identified the words in Kai Xin’s mouth, barely understood what she meant, and said, “That’s right, that’s it.”

“The dark world also exists in the second world?” Kai Xin asked solemnly.

“That’s right, there are also in the Second World.” Augustus smiled, “It’s just that the Federation hides this well enough.”

Kai Xin’s face darkened.

The world that is highly controlled by the federation and the consortium is of course different from the situation in the first world. In the first world, players can gather in mysterious forums, and some players who can’t keep their mouths open will also leak the news of the game to the Internet superior. But in the second world, the federation and the chaebols are really covering the sky with one hand.

What information the superior wants to conceal and what secrets they want to keep secret, it doesn’t take any effort at all.

The news of the coming of the dark world in the first world is basically only spread among the player groups. There is also a dark world coming in the second world, but this news is tightly blocked.

“The dark world is located in the gap between the first world and the second world. It is a coincidence point and has its own unique laws of operation. Just like our planet has a rotation period, the sun and the moon will rise and set. These natural phenomena can be regarded as our world. The law of operation.” Augustus said slowly, “The dark world also has laws of operation.”

He showed a weird smile, “I believe you have discovered some laws of our place. For example…”

With a movement of his hand, Augus lifted the coat of the black windbreaker, and took out a gun that he had prepared long ago from the back of his waist. The black muzzle aimed at Kuixin, and the tongue of flame erupted suddenly!

The bullet broke through the mist and phantom of matter and went straight to Kaixin!

While Augustus was shooting, she rolled on the spot looking for a cover to hide, but how could there be any cover in the Dark Realm? Everything here is a shadow that does not exist in the world, unable to resist the bullet in the slightest.

The thumping sound of the bullets coming out of the chamber was endless, and a few of the bullets accidentally grazed Kai Xin’s shoulders, blood flowed out immediately, and the wounds rubbed by the bullets were burning hot, and the regeneration of flesh and blood was completely ineffective. The wound has not healed.

Augus finished the first round of shooting, raised his gun and said loudly with a laughing voice: “Sai, Mai, you can’t hide. Have you found out? Your ability has failed! You are unprepared When I entered here, I was fully prepared. With only you left with a mortal body and no extraordinary abilities, how can you resist bullets made of steel and gunpowder?”

He looked around. Bottles and cans blocked his sight. Large rusty equipment was piled up here. The surroundings seemed crowded, but in fact there was nothing there.

He is looking for Kai Xin who is hiding here. Bullets are limited and need to be used sparingly.

Kai Xin let go of the hand covering her shoulder, and there was sticky blood in the crevices of her fingers. The adrenaline was soaring, her heart was pounding fiercely, her back was sweating, blood was rushing through her veins.

August’s footsteps were moving… She heard those voices.

Her body is hot, but her mind is cold. She maintained 100% rationality and 100% concentration, moved quietly, and moved slowly according to the direction of August’s footsteps.

In the process of moving, Kai Xin passed through the phantoms of the waste equipment. The feeling of entering the phantom is the same as walking normally, but the vision is limited, as if covered by an invisible curtain. Just like the modeling textures of inferior games, there seems to be something in front of you, but in fact, it will wear through the model when you walk over it, and there is nothing inside the model.

Augus took out a pocket watch from his pocket. This was a mechanical pocket watch he had prepared. The electronic watch on his wrist had already lost power. Only purely mechanical pocket watches with winding springs could be used in the dark world.

One disadvantage of mechanical pocket watches is that they are prone to errors. Augers can only roughly judge the time with this watch.

It’s 8:32 at night.

Augus whistled loudly, and raised his voice and said: “It’s almost nine o’clock, because of our fate, I will give you a piece of advice, Mai, pay attention to zero and the multiples of seven… If you can If you are lucky enough to survive to that time.”

After saying this, he listened carefully, but he didn’t hear anything.

In the empty silence, he became more and more excited.

“It’s okay, I’m very interested in working with youPlay hide and seek together. “Augus looked down at the whole row of spare bullet clips on his body, “You are in charge of hiding, and I am in charge of catching.” ”

Pay attention to the zero point and the multiples of seven.

Oakes is reminding her to pay attention to the time?

Kaixin stepped out of the phantom of the object while moving slowly, and was about to continue looking for cover, but suddenly touched an air wall. She was taken aback, stretched out her arm to touch it, and found that the wall was transparent Yes, through this wall, you can still see the bottles and cans in the Fugang City nuclear waste material processing room.

Kai Xin stepped on something. She bent down and picked it up carefully, and realized that it was a deformed bullet. It was the bullet left by Augus when he shot around.

Kai Xin picked up the bullet, thought for a while, and put it in his pocket.

She touched this strange transparent wall and groped forward.

After walking two or three meters forward, Kai Xin’s hand suddenly fell into the air, and the opaque wall disappeared at this position!

Kai Xin had a flash of inspiration, his eyes widened, and he had a clear guess in his heart.

When she entered the tobacco factory, she entered through the main entrance. After walking about three meters, she saw the nuclear radiation sign of the second world, and then Augustus also came in. He shot, and she avoided to the right.

Kai Xin began to recall her actions since entering the tobacco factory, comparing the distance she moved with the floor plan of the tobacco factory in her mind, and then combining the position of the transparent wall she just touched with the floor plan of the tobacco factory…

Kai Xin’s breathing became short of breath.

She understands! This is the dark world, but it is still a tobacco factory! Those phantoms are really just phantoms. The phantoms rely on the existence of the tobacco factory. The real layout in the dark world is equivalent to the layout of the tobacco factory, but a picture is pasted to cover up the original layout.

If she closes her eyes and walks according to the memory of the layout of the tobacco factory in her mind, she will still hit the wall where she would hit the wall, and the stairs where she should hit the stairs, just because her eyes are blocked by the second world. so she couldn’t see the stairs and walls that would have been revealed!

Then according to the map in memory, the gap in front of him should be the stairs to go upstairs.

Kai Xin raised his foot tentatively and took a step forward, a joyful expression immediately appeared on his face.

She stepped on the ground, took another step forward, and stepped onto the second step.

This is indeed a staircase!

Kai Xin has traveled to and from the tobacco factory countless times, and he has already figured out the layout here, and it is impossible to go to the wrong place with his eyes closed.

But what about Augus? Does he know the specific layout?

Kai Xinsi and here once again walked up the invisible steps for a certain distance to cover their bodies, and then shouted: “Augus!”

As soon as the name was uttered, a string of bullets followed and hit Kai Xin’s feet. With a few clangs, the bullets hit the steps and the transparent wall on the side of the stairs, and part of the deformed bullet head was stuck in the invisible wall. Part of the steps and walls clanged and fell down the steps.

The sound of August’s footsteps approached, and Kai Xin walked up the steps for a certain distance again, condescendingly looking down at the seemingly non-existent staircase.

Augus appeared, he habitually did not look up, and walked forward as usual, he did not touch the transparent wall, but the next second he kicked the steps with his toes, his body staggered, almost fell Dogs eat shit.

He raised his head in embarrassment, and saw Kai Xin above him.

Kai Xin retreated quickly, jumped up the steps and rushed to the second floor of the tobacco factory, using the phantom on the second floor to cover his body.

Augus didn’t have time to shoot, so he had to watch Kai Xin disappear in front of him.

“Damn it.” August cursed secretly.

He clenched the gun in his hand, his face darkened, and reconfirmed the time.

8:45.

It was only fifteen minutes before twenty one in the evening. Considering the error of the mechanical pocket watch, he had to get ready five minutes before nine o’clock.

“Augus!” He heard the voice of Depriver 233 again, and her voice seemed to echo in a corridor, which seemed empty and echoing, “I’m curious, that phantom lying on the ground is you, and that phantom is Is your purpose here? What do you want to do?”

August’s anger caused by the small mistake just now disappeared, and the sense of superiority returned to his heart.

He knows more, he obtained the truth first, and Depriver 233 knows less than him—this is the source of superiority.

“Since you want to know, it’s not impossible to answer you.” Augus pretended to be understated. “It’s just a choice. Didn’t you know it a long time ago? We all have to make choices.”

While speaking, he cautiously moved up the steps.

He wants to communicate with Depriver No. 233, wants to talk to her, and he also hopes that Depriver No. 233 can talk more, so that he can listen to her voice to know her location.

“What choice?” Kui Xin said, “Choose one of the bodies in the two worlds?”

“More than that, Mai.” Augus turned his eyes and found that the voice seemed to be coming from the left.

Looking to the left, there is another nuclear waste material processing room, but the equipment placed there is a little different. Here are thick wires one after another. The wires are tangled together messily, and the real scene is blocked. Already, the phantom confused August’s eyes, and he couldn’t see anything.

He could only continue talking to attract Kai Xin to speak too.

“It is our soul that travels back and forth in the world. If only one of our bodies is left in the end,what happens? said Augers.

While speaking, he slowly raised his gun and pointed it to the left side. As long as Kai Xin made another sound, he would be able to determine her position and shoot immediately.

But Kai Xin didn’t speak.

Augus held his gun in a stalemate for half a minute, and finally heard a sound, but the sound did not come from the left side, but from the right side. He immediately turned his gun to the right and fired a few shots.

Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and Kai Xin’s voice did not stop.

“The gunshots were too loud, did you hear what I said? If not, then I’ll ask again.” Kuixin said, “We can only stay in one world forever, and will no longer participate in shuttles and returns. ,yes?”

“It can be said that.” Augustus smiled coldly, “You are such a smart person, you have figured out part of the truth about the Dark Realm so quickly.”

“But I guess it’s temporary for the body and consciousness to stay in one of the worlds forever, because in terms of the general trend, the two worlds will merge into one sooner or later.” Kai Xin said, “If they are integrated into one, there will be no shuttle and return. concept.”

“Maybe.” August quietly approached the direction of Kai Xin’s voice.

The phantom is two-way. The Depriver 233 cannot see him through the phantom, and he cannot see the Decapitator 233 either.

The two of them clearly did not lose their eyesight, but they were like two blind men, who could distinguish their positions by listening to the sound and deal with the enemy.

But Kai Xin didn’t make a sound for a long time.

The material phantom is close in front of his eyes, and his vision will be limited when he enters the phantom. Augustus pondered for a second, and finally decided to take a risk and go in.

He raised his right foot and took a step towards the phantom. Immediately, he stepped on something, like a human foot!

Augustus failed to turn the gun to attack, because Kaixin maintained a half-squat position in order to avoid being shot. She bent her shoulders and punched Augustus’ abdomen, holding his waist tightly with both hands. , using both feet at the same time, knocked him into the air.

With a clanging sound, a metal object fell to the ground under the impact. It was August’s pocket watch.

The human abdomen is the softest without the protection of bones. Augus was hit by the shoulder and his stomach churned and spit out a mouthful of acidic water. The pain was so painful that he could hardly straighten his back. Silhouettes shot, and gunshots rang out.

A bullet hit Kai Xin’s arm, and blood sprayed out. The next moment, she retreated into a phantom. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to walk away with the pocket watch that fell on the ground, and August’s remaining bullets also fell through.

Almost out of bullets! Augustus temporarily stopped attacking, and hurriedly touched the clips tied to his belt, but found nothing.

He looked down and saw that the belt was empty, and all the bullets had disappeared.

“Haha! You will really surprise me, Mai!” Augus laughed back in anger, his face extremely ugly.

During the brief confrontation just now, Kai Xin took away a belt full of magazines, and she also took away his pocket watch! These clips are his entire inventory! He has a spare gun, but the magazines are all hanging on his belt. What’s the use of having a gun without bullets?

Kai Xin’s voice came from nowhere, it seemed to be a little far away: “Pay attention to the multiples of seven, that’s what you said.”

She paused, “Your pocket watch shows that it’s eight minutes to blackjack, August. Tell me what happens at nine, and if you tell me, I can give you a clip back.” .”

“You’re still in the mood to talk to me about this.” Augus smiled sarcastically, “You’re injured, I saw it! If you don’t treat the gunshot wound in time, you will die. Now you don’t have extraordinary abilities, so don’t worry about your injuries.” Will it die?”

“Don’t bother you.” Kui Xin tore off the hem of his clothes to bandage the wound, and tied his shot left arm tightly to stop the blood loss, but even so, the blood that flowed out quickly gave the clothes that wrapped the wound to the wound. Wet.

The smell of blood permeates, and the pain burns the nerves.

Kai Xin’s face turned pale, and he tried to move his left hand. Fortunately…it can still move.

The extraordinary ability disappeared, but the physical fitness comparable to that of an A-level awakened person did not disappear. Whether it was resistance to pain or resilience, they were still at the same level, but she lost her flesh and blood regeneration.

“There is danger here, so you bring a gun. You didn’t expect me to come in at first, so the gun is not used to deal with me, but to deal with other things.” Kai Xin said, “What’s here? Alien creatures Is it? According to past rules, monsters will emerge from the Dark Realm at zero o’clock.”

She lowered her head to check the time again, “Augus, it’s still seven minutes away, are you sure you want to waste time like this?”

August’s face became more gloomy, not only because the bullets were snatched, but also because Kai Xin was far away and spoke with an accent. He needed to distinguish carefully to understand what she was saying, and it took a long time to distinguish a sentence. .

“Meneto.” Augus spit out an unfamiliar word, “In the religious books of the secret order, Menetho is the guardian and gatekeeper of the underworld. After the death of believers, Menetho will His soul was divided into two, and half of it was sent to the underworld to be enshrined to the gods.”

This is a bit difficult to understand. Kai Xin thought about it for a long time, and then he heard Augus explain: “The underworld is equivalent to hell, the place where gods rest, and Menetho is equivalent to the three-headed hell dog in the myths and legends of our world. Or the soul guide Anubis. You can understand Menetho as a monster that is much more terrifying than alien creatures.”

“Why did Menetho split the believers’ souls into two?” Kai Xin asked this question involuntarily. Intuitively, this seems to be quite a question.Important issues.

“Seven days of blood.” Augustus said this term very familiarly, “God descended into the world, so the world rained blood for seven days. According to religious scriptures, it was because two gods were fighting, and the process of fighting They were injured in the middle, and the blood fell like rain, so a blood rain was formed. Later, the two gods had a truce, and the two reached some kind of agreement. The reason why the souls of the believers will be divided into two is because half of them are dedicated to the underworld Half of the gods will be enshrined to another god. If the benefits are obtained, the other god will have a truce.”

Kai Xin looked at his watch: “There are still six minutes and nine o’clock.”

Menetho is the gatekeeper…the gate…the gate to the dark world? !

Could it be that at nine o’clock, Menetho will come out of the door?

From this religious story, we can know that Menetho will snatch away the souls of believers. Kai Xin thought in horror——Fang Zhi is a believer, and his soul bears the imprint of God. Did Menetho take away half of Fang Zhi’s soul before anchoring the Gate of Darkness in the tobacco factory?

After Fang Zhi was killed, Kai Xin seemed to be the anchor.

She snatched the reincarnation of death from Fang Zhi, which is equivalent to taking away some special substance from him, such as… the remaining half of his soul!

“Why is it a multiple of seven?” Kai Xin asked again.

“Who knows? God created the world on seven days, and the legend of the blood rain is also seven days. Seven implies certain rules.” Augus said, “So monsters may appear in times of multiples of seven.”

It was at noon when Li Guanran and others conducted experiments on the dark world, and the experimental monkeys that were put in were pulled into the dark world by unknown things. Kai Xin remembers very clearly that they conducted the experiment around fourteen o’clock. At that time, she had dinner at Teacher Wang’s house, and chatted with her for a while after eating. Two o’clock in the afternoon is indeed a multiple of seven.

“Where did you know this?” Kai Xin took the time to ask.

Augers said, “No comment. Do you take these things for real, Mai? Some parts may be true, but there’s no need to be so close, God is too far away from us. World The coincidence point just appeared, the door has not expanded, and it cannot bear too strong a monster to step through the door. Now, can you return the bullet to me?”

“Yes. But you have to give me a gun.” Kai Xin said expressionlessly, “You must have prepared more than one gun, I know.”

“You’re too greedy.” August’s tone began to gnash his teeth.

“You don’t have many bullets left. According to you, whenever the time reaches a multiple of seven, terrible monsters will come out of the door. When it reaches zero, monsters may also come out of it.” Kui Xin calmly Say, “You don’t have bullets, you’ll die. I don’t have a gun, and I’ll die too. The best thing you can do is you give me a gun, I’ll give you some bullets, and we’ll work together. You want to live, and I want to live too.” .”

She added: “Augus, there are only four minutes left until nine o’clock.”

Augus quickly gave in, “You have to give me the bullets first.”

Kai Xin thought for a while, walked closer, and took out half of the bullets from one of the bullet clips on his belt.

Clinking a few times, Augus saw several bullets rolling over on the ground. These few bullets are definitely not enough, not enough to make a deal, and not enough to allow him to survive in the dangerous dark world until midnight.

“I’ll give you half first to prove that I’m not deceiving you.” Kai Xin immediately hid in the bunker, “Now you need to give me the gun and throw the gun into the phantom.”

With a livid face, Augus unloaded a spare gun from his back and threw it into Phantom.

While throwing the gun in, he raised his gun and aimed at the place where the gun disappeared. As soon as Kai Xin came out to get his gun, he immediately opened fire and tried to kill her.

But Kai Xin was not that reckless. She took off her coat, and flung the coat over with her sleeves in her hands. The clothes just covered the gun. When she pulled back, the gun was brought back by her clothes.

At the same time, there were two bang bangs. August’s bullet missed her body, but only hit her clothes. When Kai Xin put the clothes on, there were a few burnt bullet holes on the jacket.

Kai Xin lowered his head to check the gun, aimed at the blank phantom and fired a shot. There was a sudden sound of the gun, and there was no problem with the gun.

August’s face was ugly, “Bullet.”

Kai Xin lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, “We agreed to win together, but you shot me again. I don’t want to give it up.”

She showed her fangs.

“Don’t you want to know more information?” Augus sneered, “You can’t live here with the information just now.”

“No, it’s worth being buried with you.” Kai Xin touched the bullet on his belt, without any expression on his face, “Just to remind you, there are three minutes before nine o’clock.”

August’s breath was stagnant, he took a few steps back, and hid in the phantom.

Nine o’clock is approaching… Kui Xin changed his location to hide.

She adjusted her breathing and checked the gun one last time.

Finally, nine o’clock came.

As soon as Kai Xin’s ears hurt, messy and distorted ravings flooded into her ears. She immediately put her hands on her head, because her head had a splitting headache, and the pain seemed to explode.

The raving lasted only for a breath.

Kai Xin took a breath, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and managed to concentrate.

She knew that the corridor separated from her by a wall was the place where Fang Zhi died, and where the gates to the dark world were opened the first few times.

She leaned on the wall and listened carefully, and heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, which shook the entire second floor of the tobacco factory.

Immediately afterwards, there was another sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and then the third and fourth times… each time the floor fellIt will vibrate slightly.

It seems that there is a colossal monster walking through the empty corridor.

The footsteps gradually receded, and the terrifying sound echoed repeatedly in the winding corridor.

The monster named “Meneto” opened a single bloody eye, and its sticky tentacles swept away the phantoms and fog, scanning the dark world.
