At this time, the players in the lobby were also facing a crisis.
Other researchers were initially shocked by the revelation. But then, each of them turned pale and sluggish, as if they had lost their consciousness and could only follow orders.
Director Fiona took out some dangerous-looking potions and handed them to the researcher next to him, asking him to take them to the players.
“I think you have already seen the fate of your companions. It is best to drink these potions now… Of course, it will not kill you, it just allows you to better communicate with these inhuman creatures.”
Director Fiona’s attitude was very cordial when he said these words, but the players were all horrified when they heard it.
Of course the players could resist at this time. If they couldn’t deal with the ghosts, was it possible that they also couldn’t deal with these controlled ordinary people? However, the image of Gu Wuji who had just resisted Director Fiona and died tragically was still vivid in their minds. In addition, Falcon said that only by listening to Fiona’s words could they develop to the next step. So everyone gritted their teeth and took the potion in their hands.
Even if there was really something wrong with this potion, it could be solved when they left this dungeon…
Everyone had already made up their minds, but in the next moment, the ground suddenly shook, and one person stumbled directly into the researcher.
Surprisingly, this person actually penetrated the other person’s body and fell to the ground. The researcher showed a painful expression, and then his body slowly turned into bubbles and dissipated in full view of the public.
The player was stunned. He just bumped into the opponent and didn’t do anything at all!
Fiona’s expression changed slightly, “Isn’t there enough time?” He looked at everyone again, “Forget it, you just follow me down now.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In short, it was definitely a good thing not to drink this potion. However, the image of the NPC turning into a bubble just now was still vivid in their minds, which made them think deeply about it.
A group of people came out of the hall and followed Director Fiona towards the deepest part of the underground.
As soon as they came out of the hall, they felt a strong sense of discomfort, as if they were immersed in water. There was no liquid anywhere, but everyone felt the suffocation as if they were in water, and even when they took a few steps, they felt like they were in deep water and it was difficult to move.
“What the hell is going on…”
“Is the hallucination getting stronger and stronger? If this continues, we will all drown here!”
Many players in this group had already seen the so-called hallucination in this copy, but they thought this was not an illusion at all, but a force pulling them into a strange space.
Director Fiona looked tense and quickly pressed the elevator button. Something felt wrong in his heart.
“Logically speaking, it’s still some time before he wakes up. How could such a change happen suddenly… Who influenced him? Or is it because of the resonance caused by the high degree of mental compatibility that made him wake up in advance?”
….
When Gu Wuji felt that he was about to drown, the golden scales on his body suddenly glowed, and the light became stronger and stronger, almost blinding him.
However, under such circumstances, Gu Wuji was suddenly able to breathe… But this was not because he could breathe in the water, but because his body seemed to be withdrawn from this space, and he no longer even needed to breathe.
Even at this moment, when he touched the clothes on his body, they were actually dry.
“Could it be that this is the function of these scales?” This effect was too strong.
Several other mermaids took him to the depths of the water, where there was also a faintly glowing golden scale.
Gu Wuji was a little stunned. He should have observed it more carefully, but subconsciously he seemed to be attracted by something and just pressed down on the scales.
The next moment, along with the sudden singing, hallucinations suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
It had become a God’s perspective again, Gu Wuji could clearly see every corner of this research institute. This research institute was now dilapidated, and even the structure in some places was contrary to science. It was completely unlike a building that could exist well in reality.
He could also see a large number of ghosts wandering around the institute, and they didn’t seem to know what they should do.
At the bottom of the research institute was where the mermaid was.
Gu Wuji looked at the location of the data room, and now he hoped that his doubts could be solved in this place.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Gu Wuji to pass now. But the next moment, with just a thought, Gu Wuji’s body appeared in the data room.
Although he couldn’t figure out what was going on now, Gu Wuji walked into the data room and hurriedly tried to find the information.
But there were too many books here. When Gu Wuji was getting worried, the figure of a brown-haired woman suddenly passed by him.
Gu Wuji chased after her but couldn’t see even her shadow. He only saw something that looked like a diary on the ground.
It seemed that the ghost of Director Fiona’s fiancée wanted to give him a hint.
Gu Wuji took a deep breath and immediately opened the diary.
“I can’t believe that what we saw was actually a real mermaid. And it’s so beautiful. This discovery will definitely shock people all over the world.”
“There was another accident. We failed to catch him and caused an accident. …But luckily, we didn’t lose track of him.”
….
The previous chapters were all about the shock after seeing the mermaid, as well as the difficulty of capturing it, and there were many casualties in it.
According to records, most of these people died inexplicably due to hallucinations. While others suddenly committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
But after all, this was a precious mermaid. With everyone’s persistence, this mermaid was still caught by them.
“According to our observations during this period, he has the ability to make people enter hallucinations. If this ability can be researched, we will definitely be able to do great things.”
“This ability is so amazing, it is not just an illusion. When this ability is maintained, even the surrounding environment will be affected, as if he can become the master of this space. Unfortunately, this ability cannot be controlled by us.”
“I finally found it. That method, as long as I can use this, we can perfectly utilize the power of the mermaid to create a space that can affect people. However, to maintain this space, the mermaid must be in a comatose state… Maybe all of this is the power of his dreams.”
“The final test will be carried out tomorrow. But I am really curious about one thing. This mermaid seems to live in the deep sea. What made him appear here…”
The diary stopped in this place abruptly.
Gu Wuji immediately understood. It seemed that there was a way to use this mermaid to create a space when he was sleeping… In fact, this had nothing to do with science at all!
It was also because of this that when he dreamed of being in water, his clothes were wet when he woke up. However, even though he was in the water just now, his clothes were dry, and he could even come to this information room casually. The reason was because he was basically in a dream.
During that experiment, Director Fiona’s fiancée died unexpectedly. This probably proved the danger of this matter. But Director Fiona was unwilling to give up and wanted to complete the goal he and his fiancée had previously wanted to achieve.
Presumably, the current space was maintained by Director Fiona with the power of the mermaid, and the people inside had actually died long ago. Their souls were bound to this place, but their consciousness had not noticed that they had died.
In order to continue to maintain this goal, Director Fiona is looking for someone to sacrifice, and they, the players, were the people who were found by Director Fiona.
Thinking about it now, Gu Wuji felt that the route he took after entering this dungeon was simply wrong. He should have found a way to enter the data room long ago…but it was not too late now.
“Don’t worry.” Gu Wuji looked at the empty data room, as if saying something to the brown-haired woman, “I will definitely stop Director Fiona.”
To leave this copy, the first thing he had to do was to smash this dream that should not be maintained in the first place.
