Sweep across the Doomsday Proving Ground [Unlimited]

When he said this, Xu Zhuo happened to meet Gu Chengye's eyes.

For some reason, he was startled for a moment, and then, as if hiding his emotions, he lowered his eyes and opened the desk drawer.

"I think so too."

Gu Chengye's voice sounded from the side.

He walked to Xu Zhuo's side, leaned against the corner of the desk, his eyes briefly fell on his tear mole, he hesitated to speak.

There's really no way to go on with this.

Even if both parties have a sense of déjà vu, it cannot explain anything.

In the besieged city, there are too many such test sites. It can even be said that in the inner and outer areas of the besieged city, hotels will also have such a layout.

Without saying anything, Xu Zhuo directly opened the drawer.

These wood-structured furniture may be old, and once opened, the damp and musty smell will hit the face.

As he expected, there was nothing special inside, except for the two squarely folded towels, there were only scattered pieces of paper and some other sundries.

After a few glances, Xu Zhuo stretched out his hand, trying to open the last drawer.

But when he was pushing hard, he suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chengye asked.

Xu Zhuo shook his head: "It's okay, it's just relatively heavy."

"This kind of old-fashioned wooden furniture is like this. In the past few years, only a few thin and light boards can be found in the inner area of ​​​​the besieged city." Gu Chengye bent down and opened the drawer at once. It will be relatively difficult to pull away."

Xu Zhuo was slightly stunned, as if he had grasped some key words, and suddenly asked: "When did it become popular?"

"Huh?" Gu Chengye didn't react.

"Old-fashioned furniture." Xu Zhuo said, "How long has this kind of board been popular in the besieged city?"

Gu Chengye did not answer him directly.

Those deep eyes narrowed slightly, and then said: "You are very strange."

As soon as this plain tone came out, Xu Zhuo raised his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't look like a normal subject. I always feel that you have never lived in a besieged city."

From this copy to the present, he seems to have forgotten the other party's identity.

Gu Chengye standing in front of him was not the subject, but the leader of the supernatural organization whose vision was accidentally bound by him.

They are opposites from beginning to end.

This has not changed in the past and is not expected to change in the future.

Xu Zhuo looked at him calmly.

Gu Chengye's tone didn't change, but it seemed to hide the turbulent tide, and he added after a long while: "According to the data provided by the supernatural organization before, you only participated in a total of twelve trials, and every time there was a problem with the chip. We Leaving aside the matter of entering the investigation room every time, just the question I was asked just now is enough to make people suspicious."

Xu Zhuo's eyes instantly turned cold.

The atmosphere that had been slightly relaxed since breaking through the barrier became tense again.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Gu Chengye straightened up and returned to the topic just now: "Wooden furniture was popular more than ten years ago."

Xu Zhuo pursed his lips and remained silent.

"The era of the siege was only about ten years old, so to be precise, it should be the previous period of human disaster, because this type of wood processing is sought after without much technical content."

Xu Zhuo looked at him for a few seconds, then said "Thank you".

At this time, his tone was very flat, and he returned to his usual calm look.But when he returned his gaze to the desk, Gu Chengye frowned subconsciously.

Accompanied by the sound of heavy wooden boards, Xu Zhuo almost dragged open the last drawer.

—Assembly parts for several firearms.

Magazines, triggers, butts.

They are placed there quietly like this, seem to be full of dust, although it seems that they have not been used for a long time, but from the traces of wear and tear, they have been used repeatedly.

Xu Zhuo stared at it for a few seconds, then pushed the drawer in and got up.After bypassing Gu Chengye, he picked up the three letter papers.

They said nothing more.

There is not much to say either.

As the system continued to broadcast, the optimization progress went from 75% to 85%, and then slowly increased to 98%.

During this period, the two of them leaned against the iron rod, making sure that they could see each other from the corner of their eyes, and lowered their eyes to rest.

At this moment, a small sound appeared in the next room.

It seemed to be the sound of footsteps, or something else, in short, a living thing.

Xu Zhuo slightly raised his eyes, and saw that Gu Chengye was also looking at him.

He tilted his head towards the wall on the right, and the eyes under the cold brown broken hair were very calm, without any waves.

Gu Chengye nodded, and the moment he took out his pistol/gun, the footsteps started to rush.

Step by step, it sounded and echoed in the corridor in a panic.

At the same time, there was a slight sound of scratching against the wall, entering their ears.

Xu Zhuo and Gu Chengye leaned against the inside of the wall next to the door frame almost at the same time.

"Maybe it's still that kind of beast." Gu Chengye smiled, and it didn't look like there was any change because of what happened just now, or in other words, he had already hidden his emotions so that no one could know.

He loaded the bullet neatly and said, "It's dirty, but I can only bear it for a while."

Xu Zhuo glanced at his pistol/gun and drew out a knife.

The structure of the corridor, including the composition of the water pipes on the ceiling, all appeared in Xu Zhuo's mind at the moment. This ability seemed to be innate. After killing the monster, he just glanced up and remembered it completely.

It doesn't take much effort at all.

All the hidden spots, corners that are easily overlooked, as well as the codes and positions of those door locks are very clear at this moment.

Hearing the sound gradually approaching, Xu Zhuo turned the handle of the knife, waiting for the opportunity.And when the sound was less than half a meter away from them, the rotating knife suddenly stopped——

bang.

Accompanied by Xu Zhuo's movement of swinging the knife, there was a crisp iron rod falling sounded in the corridor.

And, the rapid chip recording prompt sound, several beeps.

Under the light and shadow in the room, the three people in front of Gu Chengye and Xu Zhuo almost fell to the ground, their bodies trembling, their faces distorted and terrified, feeling that they were indistinctly frightened by pistols and knives.

Xu Zhuo frowned slightly.

After a while, I looked at Sun Ze and the others: "Why are you?"

The five people in the corridor didn't speak for a long time.

Sun Ze pulled Li Lin and Wu Dong against the wall on one side, keeping a perfect distance from Gu Chengye and Xu Zhuo - they could see the expressions of these two, and they wouldn't be too close to be dangerous.

The reason why it is said that there will be danger is mainly because the two of them have cold faces.

Sun Ze didn't know why he felt this way, but it seemed that since the meeting just now, he had felt an indescribable feeling, smelling the tense atmosphere.

Of course, he didn't dare to express these thoughts.

Maybe if he said it to Gu Chengye, he would be cold in front of the other two.

So Sun Ze scratched his head in distress, thinking about how to speak, when Li Lin spoke and explained the situation: "We got separated from them."

Seeing Xu Zhuo and Gu Chengye staring at him at the same time, Li Lin summoned up his courage and said, "Just now, the system reminded us to go to the Treasure Hall, and for some reason, the moment we entered, the lights suddenly went dark."

"Yes." Wu Dong interrupted at this time, "I thought we were cold, but when I woke up, I found it here."

Xu Zhuo listened quietly to their narration.

Perhaps it was Li Lin and Wu Dong who spoke first, and Sun Ze suddenly gained courage.

Because he couldn't look directly at Xu Zhuo and Gu Chengye because his vision was limited, he simply glanced away and took out something from his pocket.

"Actually, at the moment when the light was dimmed, I heard something falling from the side." Sun Ze handed the white stone to Xu Zhuo and the others, "It may be a coincidence, before I fainted, it fell on the side." I touched this stone."

Xu Zhuo's eyes fell on it.

This is an indescribable thing. It is said to be a stone, but its shape is too weird—the upper, lower, left, and right corners have been smoothed, but on the outside of the smoothed surface, the tip is convex, and only this piece is evenly recessed.

If you insist on describing it, it looks like a cobblestone that has been artificially smoothed but failed.

"How should I put it, this stone makes me really panic." Sun Ze shivered, shrinking his neck back, "Why don't you hurry up—"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chengye stretched out his hand and took the stone.

"Philosophy egg."

Xu Zhuo spoke suddenly.

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard this.

"This is the imagery in Carrington's works." Xu Zhuo said, "It is also one of the representatives of alchemy."

Sun Ze obviously didn't react: "What?"

Xu Zhuo glanced at him lightly, and after taking the stone that Gu Chengye handed over, he said lightly: "He is a Mexican surrealist artist, and this egg comes from the painting Abeoquod."

"In this painting, the egg is nourished by a rose, which means the feminine in alchemy, which is the opposite of the masculine." He said, "Carrington's style is the transformation between yin and yang and the universe. , and this transformation is even reflected in other creative aspects.”

Everyone was stunned.

Before, they vaguely felt that Xu Zhuo was different from them, not that he was a subject at the same time, but whether it was the level of calmness or just the reserves, they were much stronger than the subjects they had seen before .

Of course, this is when another powerful figure is excluded.

At this time, this powerful man touched his chin thoughtfully while listening to what Xu Zhuo said.

"And this philosophical egg has another meaning." Xu Zhuo said, "It is the transformation of the feminine and the masculine, so it can also be regarded as a place of transformation."

Change places.

The word is not the direct meaning of the painting.

But Xu Zhuo has gone one step further, transforming the so-called transformation of yin and yang into places in the sense of space.

With such an explanation, the remaining three people will understand.

"That's why we came here from the treasure hall on the fourth floor." Sun Ze followed up with analysis, "Co-authoring this painting means transforming the place."

"But it is considered a transformation place, what does the system mean?"

Sun Ze was stunned for a moment: "This is going to make things difficult for me..."

He turned his head carefully, with a nervous expression, afraid that he would lose Li Lin and Wu Dong in his sight, and then turned his eyes on Xu Zhuo and the others for help.

But before he could ask anything, the system beeped at this time with a crisp ding——

[Congratulations to all the subjects, the scene optimization is 100% complete]

[Please enjoy the optimized scene. ]

[The reminder for the next stage will be issued later, please wait patiently. ]

When they heard "all the subjects", Xu Zhuo and Gu Chengye frowned in unison.

Immediately afterwards, the corridor door creaked and opened a crack.

Xu Zhuo threw the stone back to Gu Chengye, didn't look at him again, and walked out of the corridor with his pockets in his pocket.

"Don't you have a problem?"

Seeing their figures walking away, Li Lin quickly gave Sun Ze a hug, "You've been wanting to speak since just now."

Sun Ze quickly waved his hands, and then said shyly, "I just want to ask if I can act with them...but now it seems that we don't dare to ask."

While talking, the three of them also walked out.

While Sun Ze was still talking, Li Lin and Wu Dong suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Sun Ze didn't react, "What did you see—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

The platform does not show any trace of optimization.

Behind the curtain not far away is still a huge cage, and the roar of the beast continues.

The wooden doors that had been locked before had all lost their iron locks, like a real time-space transformation. The moment Sun Ze and the others walked out, the subjects in each group pushed the doors out from different places.

But when they saw the blood on the ground, they suddenly fell silent.

Just like the Sun Ze trio.

[Happy time is always short, and today's art gallery trip ends here. ]

[The Duke of Elvis thanked everyone for coming to the gallery today and expressed his deep respect for it. ]

[But at the same time, he felt regretful that the painting was still not found, and the ability of the guests was the same as that of the workers who repaired the art gallery before, without any difference. ]

[So Duke Elvis asks another question. ]

[Dear guests, what do you think is the punishment for not finding the painting? ]

The faces of the people suddenly became ugly, even terrified, and they all took a few steps back in a hurry, as if Duke Elvis would appear in front of them in the next second and directly make them pay the price.

Amidst the noise of the crowd, there were two slender figures standing quietly at the very center of the platform.

Their expressions remained the same, and they did not react to the bloody characters, but just when Xu Zhuo wanted to kick away the horizontal bars around them, the bloody characters instantly turned into little tadpoles, scattered in all directions, gathered together in an instant, and finally changed became a sentence——

[Congratulations to all the members for successfully entering the painting. ]
