Chapter 334: Stone Gate and the Guardian

"Investigation competition?"

"That's right. Whoever finds the clue to the truth about the 'farce' happening on this planet first will win."

"The winner can make one claim on the loser."

After Joshua gave a brief explanation, he waited for You Huan's answer.

He was mainly a little curious about the world that You Huan came from.

Apart from the high-level world, which world can still produce travelers from the heavens?

And they are not ordinary travelers.

A traveler from the heavens can have the aura of three higher worlds mixed in with him at the same time.

And he has enough means, not inferior to the outstanding "talents" in the Fenyu world.

Which interesting middle world could create such a traveler?

He was confident that he had a high probability of winning this competition, so he could ask You Huan to locate the world he was born in and go take a look.

At the same time, this desire for demand can greatly improve the efficiency of the investigation.

This is perfect advice.

As for You Huan, he also had a need for Joshua.

The structure of the world of the heavens, the method of traveling through the worlds, and the intelligence of the higher worlds, these are what he hopes to know from Joshua.

If he wins, he can get this information.

As for winning or losing…even if his opponent is from a higher world with mysterious means, he still has some confidence.

This place is full of black water and is his home ground.

What's more, it's worth a gamble to get the information.

Even if he loses, at least the relationship is established... unless Joshua proposes to use his body as a specimen or something.

He replied: "Yes, but there is a prerequisite. The winner's request must be within the loser's ability and does not involve life."

"Of course, don't think that the people in our Fenyu world are too sinister."

The opinions were agreed upon.

Joshua smiled and waved goodbye to You Huan, saying, "Well, let's start the competition and split up to start investigating."

After saying this, his figure seemed to be broken into tiny pieces and gradually disappeared into the air.

You Huan looked ahead, without taking any immediate action, as if thinking about something.

What exactly is Joshua's ability?

He originally thought that Joshua mastered a series of secret techniques unique to the Fenyu world, which is why he was able to create all kinds of incredible effects.

But as he saw Joshua use his abilities many times, he vaguely sensed that this man's abilities actually came from a system.

Maybe it has something to do with his own uniqueness.

After a brief thought, he returned to the uninhabited room and still did not take any action.

There are probably spies from the company everywhere here, and his figure is too conspicuous here, so he has to wait until night to act.

Before this, he didn't do nothing.

Mobilize the black water in the body and spread the blood-sensing ability unique to black water life to the maximum extent.

By means of sensing, the black water situation within a radius of several kilometers is explored and described.

During the induction process, he also remembered another thing.

About Ash.

The task of uncovering Ash's conspiracy on the panel is still unfinished.

This shows that although Ash's experiment on Aurora was destroyed by him, he himself was left with only a head.

His plan is not over yet.

It should be related to the headquarters of Weyland Corporation on Earth.

The alien samples he created on Aurora may have already been transported back to Earth.

But it doesn't matter.

He can easily track down Ash, Shaw, and every other person or android he has come into contact with.

Because he left his black water on them all.

It's like they are left alone in the wild, and can be quickly located if needed.

Let things ferment for a while.

He hopes that Weyland Corporation can help and create some powerful aliens.

While thinking about things, I focused on black water sensing.

Soon, the sun sank and darkness enveloped the settlement.

He finally stood up and jumped directly from the window to the street.

The darkness is his best protective color. Human infrared night vision goggles and other equipment cannot detect him under the protection of his unique exoskeleton.

Walking on the quiet streets at night, he sensed traces of alien activity not far away.

So he leaned forward slightly to gather strength, and in the next moment he crossed a distance of thousands of meters and came to the side of the alien.

Before it could react, a tail had already pierced through its body.

Life absorption is activated and evolution points are extracted quickly.

[Evolution Points +72]

Now, he can kill black water creatures of this level instantly.

The evolution points he obtained were few compared to his upgrade requirements, but the focus of his needs this time was not evolution points.

——It's the memory of an alien.

The mental power and the life force were absorbed simultaneously as the tentacles extended out to check the alien's thinking state.

Although he had not systematically learned how to use mental power to read other people's memories.

But relying on the corrosive effect of the original black water on blood relatives and combining it with mental power, he can read some broken fragments recorded in the alien's subconscious.

Most of them are boring predation clips, but there is one clip that is very intriguing.

It seemed that this alien was released from a special place.

It is not in the blood relationship induction that the concentration of black water is the highest around here.

But it is a place that looks ordinary and is located in the opposite direction of that place.

Fortunately, he read the alien's memory, otherwise he might have gone to the wrong place.

At the place with the highest concentration of black water in the sensing settlement, there stands a building, which is the branch building of Weyland Company here.

Looks like a place where "conspiracy would happen".

The original black water gushed out from the body, completely destroying the alien's corpse.

He turned and headed in the direction opposite to the branch building.

Soon they arrived near the location in the alien's memory fragment.

This is a large residential area that has been abandoned for a long time, and it looks desolate at first glance.

Because there is no prey, even aliens are unwilling to appear here.

However, according to his previous black water sensing, there is actually a black water vacuum area here.

It was the only place within a few miles where he could not sense the existence of black water.

Turn the black water sensor to maximum again and gradually reduce the range of the black water vacuum zone.

Until it was reduced to an unfinished building.

He immediately took action and activated [Deadly Pursuit].

The spirit body roared out like an invisible ghost, ignoring the walls that blocked the way, and began to investigate the unfinished building.

Sure enough, a secret door that seemed to lead to the underground was found on the first floor.

The figure of the spiritual body turned from virtual to real, and stood in front of the secret door with the flesh and blood body, one black and one white.

Exert force at the same time.

Displays drill-like explosive power in the form of a tail jab.

The secret door was forced open in an instant!

Amid the rustling of falling alloy fragments, he quickly rushed into the passage.

As I walked, I complained in my heart, why did such conspiracy plans have to be kept underground?

However, he soon found out the answer.

As he went deeper, fine patterns gradually appeared on the seemingly primitive earth walls.

It's kind of like a super-complex version of a circuit board pattern.

There are some twisted and flowing lines in it, and their chaos contrasts with the overall refinement, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

This style looked familiar to him. He had seen it in the world of The Cabin in the Woods. It should be the style of the world of Fenyu.

The underground is densely covered with these lines.

Could it be that, similar to the world of the cabin in the woods, this is a super-large sacrificial formation?

If so, the behavior of Weyland Company is easy to explain.

They may not want to dominate human civilization, but want to use black water as a means to sacrifice all human beings for some kind of super-large sacrifice!

However, the world of the cabin in the woods performs sacrifices in order to pay tribute to the superior world to ensure peace.

Why does the Weyland Company in this world do this?

While thinking, he stopped.

A stone gate that looked extremely ancient and primitive appeared in front of him.

Perhaps behind this door is the answer he wants to find.

But before he pushed open the door, he had to deal with a gatekeeper.

"Rustle, rustle..."

Amidst a strange rubbing sound.

A huge, pitch-black alien figure fell from the ceiling in front of the stone gate.

The black water here was sucked into a vacuum and appeared in front of him.
