Chapter 400 Lady of Misfortune, Underground Pollution
It took about half an hour to fly above the tawny ocean.
A regular diamond-shaped building appeared in the line of sight, with an area of several hundred square meters according to visual inspection. It looked like a huge diamond half buried in the ground. Only the color of the building was matte metallic silver, without any diamonds. flash.
"here it is……"
The hermit never said where exactly Ms. Doom lived. It was only at this moment that Bai Zhi made a guess.
“This is both the solitary residence of ‘Doom’ and the cage in which she is voluntarily exiled,” the hermit introduced.
After getting off the airship, leaving the pilot behind, the hermit guided Bai Zhi to the front of the diamond-shaped building.
He raised his right hand slightly, and a large number of mysterious symbols flew out of the brass book, forming a virtual key.
As the key touched the wall without a door or keyhole, a white light door stained with a little blue and black appeared in front of them.
"please."
Perhaps in order to alleviate Bai Zhi's doubts, the hermit made a gesture and walked in first.
Behind the white light door is darkness.
But I can use my senses to find that I am in a 3-meter-wide passage. After the passage extends for tens of meters, there is a spiral staircase without guardrails.
The two walked in tandem, passed through the lightless passage, stepped onto the spiral staircase, and walked for about ten minutes, finally reaching the top floor of the diamond-shaped building——
Blue candlelight adorns an empty hall in the corner.
Pieces of grid-like sunlight shine through the glass of the dome, covering everything in the center of the hall in a faint golden light.
In the center of the empty hall, there is a metal black chair and a long table with mottled bronze. On the long table stands a three-pronged candlestick, lighting three blue candles.
Candlelight and sunlight shine on the shadow on the metal black chair, dispelling the surrounding darkness, but the loneliness and desolation of the shadow cannot be ignored.
It was a woman with disheveled hair, a clear face, but a good figure, wrapped in a torn white dress.
At first glance,
Just like an ordinary, down-and-out weak girl.
But,
The transparent tubes dropped from the sky, penetrated the white skirt, pierced the skin, and inserted into the body.
And pieces of black iron shackles that trapped the slender limbs,
It made her look like a restrained beast, like a victim imprisoned for human experimentation.
"Claire, see you soon."
The hermit stood at the junction of the hall and the stairs, without taking a step into the hall.
The next second, the woman on the black chair suddenly moved, then slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound.
As the reddish-brown hair parted to both sides, a face that was exquisite and refined, yet slightly horrifying appeared in front of Bai Zhi's eyes.
I saw a metal nose stud and ear studs on the woman's face, her eyes had no pupils, only the whites of her eyes were left, her lips were dry and pale, and her face had a strange and lifeless look, like the look of death.
Bai Zhi subconsciously checked the other party's information data.
【Object】: Doom Claire
[Vitality]: 150
[Body length]: 165cm
【Status】：놊Stable
눒As a former S-class super, his vitality is so low? Bai Zhi flashed doubts.
"Gagrid...it's you."
A hoarse female voice sounded, sounding like there was a tube stuck in her throat.
Claire's pupil-less eyes glanced at the hermit, and then glanced at Bai Zhi:
"who is she?"
After the hermit briefly introduced Bai Zhi’s identity and the purpose of his trip, he said:
"You guys chat, I'll wait for you below, Miss Ye Zhi, you can find a seat and sit down."
Immediately he turned around and descended the spiral staircase.
"Your name is Ye Zhi... it probably sounds like the wrong name."
As she spoke, Claire placed her two black-shackled hands on the long bronze table, allowing Bai Zhi to see more clearly the numerous scars on her white and dry hands.
The bruises looked like scratches.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Claire."
Bai Zhi chose a chair directly opposite Claire and sat down. He did not show any surprise at the other person's appearance, nor did he call him "bad luck" because it might offend him.
"Sorry for the sudden visit. I hope my coming didn't disturb you."
눒For the one seeking 그, she tried to be as humble and polite as possible.
"It's okay." Claire said:
"Then did you bring a cigarette?"
Um?
Are you still smoking when you are like this?
But speaking of it, I didn’t bring anything with me when I came to the house this time... Bai Zhi shook his head slightly and said apologetically:
"Before I came here, I knew that Ms. Claire had this hobby, so... I will do it next time."
"...Or if there is anything else you need, let me look for it on you, like potato chips, jelly or something?"
Claire closed her eyes expressionlessly.
Ahem... Bai Zhi cleared his throat and said:
"Mr. Hermit just introduced it. I want to know the truth about the pollution in 'S-05', such as what will happen if you get close to the underground palace. I hope you can clear up my doubts. Thank you very much."
Claire was silent for two seconds and then said:
"Since Gagrid brought you here and you are also a member of the 'New World', I can tell you, but I want to hear why you need to know this first."
Bai Zhi, who had been prepared for this, simply explained:
"I have a super pet. I need to go to the place where the curse is hidden, and draw opportunities and strength from there to get promotion."
"Oh, it turns out he is a deadly lunatic..." Claire glanced at Bai Zhi with her horrified eyes and said faintly:
"Normally, even if you want to become stronger, how can you go there... There must be some danger forcing you to do these inevitable things."
"You should already know that I am the only one who has seen the appearance of that underground palace and survived."
"But I am burdened with bad luck. To be precise, I can only be regarded as alive... Ahem! Ahem!"
Suddenly, Claire coughed violently, and the coughing lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually subsided. Then she seemed to have not spoken to 그 for a long time, and kept talking, as if she was venting.
"Ahem... After escaping from there, my body organs collapsed rapidly, and various viruses spontaneously found me. If I were a mechanical replacement, I would not have survived for more than two days."
"Even now, I can't eat normally and need to be injected with nutritional solutions and medicines to stay alive."
"Every night I can't sleep, because once my consciousness relaxes, there will be laughter and tearing sounds in my mind that are enough to make me collapse..."
"I haven't slept for three months. Only cigarettes can help me barely ignore the sounds and sleep..."
"It's a pity that many people come to see me, and my sister also allows some people to give me such things."
"In short, these are all due to the pollution in the ground."
Even though the other party's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the harsh scratching sound of a sharp object, Bai Zhi still listened with a changed expression.
"Sister?" Bai Zhi glanced at the corner of the empty hall, "I thought Ms. Claire was a resident..."
At this time, Claire took out a tablet from behind the chair and explained calmly: "Remote communication."
