Looking at the person in the mechanical tree hole, Lu Xin also had deep confusion in his eyes.

Immediately, there was a burst of uncontrollable excitement.

The person in the tree hole in front of me could not tell how old he was, with pale skin and a skinny body.

The ribs can be seen clearly one by one, and the body is curled up in the narrow space inside the mechanical tree trunk. You can't even see how tall he is or his complete appearance. However, from the glasses on his face and the hazy look on his face, some strange memories suddenly emerged in Lu Xin's mind. Scene by scene, it was a memory from the orphanage a long time ago.

There is a boy who wears small round glasses and always sits in the living room watching TV. Sometimes, he sits on a small bench in the corridor and looks up at the moon in the sky. Sometimes he squats in front of the fish tank and looks at the fish inside all day...

... Only I rarely see him sleeping.

I had very little sleep at that time, so I would often run into him late at night.

Sometimes, they would sit quietly together watching TV and share the same bottle of orange soda.

He doesn't like to talk much, and he doesn't like to talk much either.

So they don't communicate much.

But because neither of them slept much, they had more contact with each other in the orphanage and made a deeper impression.

He has disappeared for a long time.

But now that I saw this person in the mechanical tree hole, the dusty memories suddenly came out.

Lu Xin was silent for a long time, then whispered, "No. 2..."

"Why are you here?"

"..."

The boy in the mechanical tree hole is his classmate in the orphanage, No. 2.

Lu Xin met him here without any preparation. For a moment, he even felt slightly dizzy because of this encounter.

The whole world felt unreal for a moment.

"It's really you..."

The boy in the mechanical tree hole finally confirmed the identity of Lu Xin after hearing Lu Xin's answer.

There was an expression of joy on his pale face, and he said, "I have been here for a long time..."

"I really didn't expect you to come here, you are..."

"... Are you here specifically to find me?"

"..."

His voice was soft and soft, and there seemed to be a blush on his pale face.

"No."

Lu Xin shook his head slightly and said, "I came here for other things. I didn't know you would be here."

After a pause, he whispered, "But, if I had known you were here, I think I would have come to find you."

"What's going on?"

At the same time, Xia Chong on the broken platform, and the last black-robed priest Black Box hanging in the air, looked at Lu Xin facing the tree hole and talking quietly from a distance. They were also shocked, and even felt endless panic.

They didn't know what Lu Xin was doing, but one had known it for a long time, and the other had guessed how terrifying the thing in the mechanical tree trunk was.

Therefore, Lu Xin's reaction far exceeded their expectations.

At the same time, dark red light suddenly flashed in the entire underground pit.

Accompanied by the red light, there is a fierce siren sound.

At the same time, the huge steel on the dome of the deep underground pit made a deep creaking sound, and immediately retreated to both sides, revealing three black holes with round tops and metal cylinders spray-painted with blue paint, slowly protruding from the inside.

The tops of these three metal columns also have red lights flashing.

You can even see yellow electronic numbers beating rapidly on the cylinder.

"Twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen..."

"..."

The black-robed priest saw this scene and was trembling with fear.

He was eager to escape, but the sealed space around him made him despair, and he could only curse desperately, "Asshole, bastard, we are ready to sacrifice ourselves, we are already in the same room with monsters, but you still want to destroy us together?"

"Did you make up your mind from the beginning to let the three of us stay here and accompany these two monsters to their funeral?"

"..."

Xia Chong saw the three cylinders, and his face changed drastically. "Hell Umbrella?"

"What's that?"

When the piercing alarm sounded in this deep pit, Lu Xin was disturbed and frowned slightly.

He had just met his former companion, and he originally had a lot to say.

Number Two in the mechanical tree hole had a smile on his face.

He seemed to feel happy after hearing Lu Xin's answer just now.

He replied softly, "This is the Hell Umbrella series plasma bomb with the strongest fire type, specially designed to deal with ability users."

"If it's such a large amount..."

He slightly poked his head out of the mechanical tree hole, took a look, and said, "If it is released in such a small space, anyone will die."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Lu Xin and nodded seriously. "Including you."

"Huh?"

Lu Xin raised his head, looked at the bomb in the sky that was flashing red and starting to count down, and frowned slightly.

"The fire type is so awesome, why don't you leave?"

Lu Xin The shadows around him became chaotic, and his father shouted, "Is this the time to chat with friends?"

"Can't leave."

Number 2 replied, "This place is closed, so there is no way to enter the abyss. As for the physical distance, firstly, it is surrounded by the strongest alloy, and steel plates up to 30 centimeters thick, and there is a glass material in the middle that cannot be penetrated by spiritual power. No ability can find a way to escape in such a short countdown time, so we will all die."

As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, glanced at Lu Xin, and smiled, "Maybe you won't die so completely."

"But the part of you that can talk to me now will definitely die."

"..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

My father roared subconsciously, "Are we just waiting to die here... Huh?"

While roaring, he suddenly reacted. In the black shadow, his eyes looked at No. 2 in disbelief:

"Can you see me?"

"..."

"Of course."

Number 2 nodded, then a pale smile appeared on his face, and he looked behind Lu Xin:

"Little Seventeen, are you still alive?"

"..."

Facing his gaze, the sister who was following Lu Xin also froze.

After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly hid behind Lu Xin. She didn't say a word, but secretly peeked at No. 2.

"Seventeen is very shy now."

"Of course, it could also be because you are not wearing any clothes."

Lu Xin explained for his sister, then looked at No. 2 and said, "However, since it is so dangerous, it is better to hide out. The situation is so urgent, so the only way to leave is through the abyss. How is the abyss here closed?"

"It's me."

Number 2 nodded and said, "They used part of my body to seal it."

"You?"

Lu Xin was surprised and said, "Then you still haven't untied it?"

"This..."

Number 2 was a little confused and said, "I don't know how. No one has taught me how to untie it..."

"Drip" "Drip" "Drip"

While Lu Xin was talking to No. 2, above the deep underground pit, the countdown for the three Hell Umbrella plasma bombs was coming to an end little by little.

After entering the final five-second countdown, the numbers were beating while an alarm sounded to indicate danger.

It was connected with the alarm sound that was ringing in the deep pit underground, and the tense atmosphere even made people's hair stand on end.

The black-robed priest hanging in the air was desperate and praying at the last moment.

Xia Chong, who was on the broken platform, was shouting anxiously as a soldier while raising his multi-barreled revolver towards the door.

She seemed to want to leave by blasting the steel plate-sealed door with a multi-barreled revolver.

"Huh..."

Lu Xin At this moment, he also took a deep breath and said to No. 2: "Think of a way."

Number 2 obviously showed hesitation, and then he nodded slightly. "Okay, save them all?"

Lu Xin said, "No need to hang it in mid-air."

The moment their conversation ended, the Hell Umbrella plasma bomb on the dome suddenly counted down to zero.

The beeping sound disappeared, and the entire cylinder seemed to be silent for less than half a second.

Then, a huge blue arc suddenly covered the surface.

This blue arc extended downward like a giant python.

The dazzling light instantly melts anything it touches, leaving the air full of anxiety and dryness.

But also when the blue arc had begun to spread but had not yet filled the entire space, No. 2 stretched out his hand from the mechanical tree hole and held Lu Xin's wrist. At the same time, the strange mechanical tree he was hiding in emitted bright lights.

Countless mechanical tentacles were withdrawn from the human bodies around the mechanical monster and quickly moved towards the broken platform.

Xia Chong, who was desperately holding a multi-barreled revolver and bombarding the door, was wrapped around her calf by mechanical tentacles, and then hung upside down, quickly pulled towards the direction of the mechanical tree. If time slowed down, you could tell from the shape of her mouth that she was shouting:

"Let go... of... my... legs..."

"..."

"Crack, crackle, crackle..."

The next moment, a huge blue arc instantly submerged the entire underground pit.

Whether it was the broken platform, the people in the pit, the black-robed priest hanging upside down in the air, or the mechanical tentacles, the electronic parts assembled into the mechanical monster tree, etc., they were all vaporized or distorted. Even the broken glass fragments on the ground were completely melted. The entire underground pit was filled with wandering plasma, and the temperature reached an unmeasurable level.

But at the same time, Lu Xin, Xia Chong and others instantly disappeared into the deep pit underground.

"Huh..."

Lu Xin opened his eyes suddenly and saw that he was in a strange place.

He stood on a floor.

This floor is not big, only a few square meters.

The strange thing is that the surrounding space is extremely spacious, but it is not the sun, moon, stars or city streets, but fragments.

Some of these fragments are the afterglow of the setting sun, some are cities with shining lights, and some are green grass.

It's just that every scene is torn apart.

This is the scene of tearing the normal world apart and scattering it in the air.

What can be seen between each scene is a darkness so deep that it cannot be seen to the bottom.

"Where is this?"

Lu Xin reacted for a while before asking softly.

The voice of No. 2 rang from the side. He was sitting cross-legged in a fragment of the pale room.

He looked around quietly and said softly, "This is God's Nightmare."
