Chapter 41: The Woman in the Mural
This seems to be a building sleeping underground.
The first relief Lin Mo saw depicts a girl guiding the direction. It can be seen that it has been a few years. Maybe it was once lifelike, but now it is almost impossible to see the appearance clearly.
Lin Mo briefly placed Bai Motong and Wang Dong here, and walked a distance along the direction guided by the relief. More reliefs gradually emerged on both sides, with similar craftsmanship, and they pointed to a long cave.
There are many scenes of the reliefs around them, but the protagonists seem to be one, who is a woman, and some of the reliefs are quite clear, which made Lin Mo realize that the relief he saw before was not blurring his face because of his long years, but that the reliefs themselves only painted a woman with no exact face.
They may be one person, or countless people.
The space exudes a strange and cold atmosphere. Standing in the middle of the relief, it seems to be standing among those faceless women, staring at them.
Where is this?
Lin Mo once again had such doubts, but he probably also understood that the unknown is terror and pollution. He hesitated for a moment and did not choose this road immediately. Instead, he walked along this huge underground cave of about five or six thousand square meters, trying to find other ways to leave.
But this entire cave has only this road except for the top of the head.
Lin Mo thought of Mutant taking Wang Dong and Bai Motong away, but he lacked enough material, so he came up with another way to go out from the top of his head first, hunt for success and then come back.
This is a bit troublesome opportunity, but Lin Mo is not afraid of trouble. He is trapped in this strange world. Before he has a clear way to return, he has time to delay.
Lin Mo tried to climb upwards and walked up the wall. The first part was easy to walk. The hard and smooth wall might be a nightmare for ordinary people, but Lin Mo said it was nothing? You could climb with just two punches? But after reaching a certain height, the situation was a little different.
The flashlight looked for it? What Lin Mo saw was a honeycomb-like dome? The huge hole was subdivided into countless passages here. Lin Mo casually chose the one closest to him? But before he could enter it, Lin Mo could not move forward.
Because when moving forward, the wall was covered with a layer of fluffy-like plants? But those plants themselves had an extremely smooth and sticky feeling, which was the touch that Lin Mo felt when he fell before. When he fell, these tiny plants had a buffering effect. But now they have become Lin Mo's roadblock.
This kind of soft thing is helpless for Lin Mo.
He had no choice but to retreat, remain silent for a moment, and choose to enter the underground passage.
Although I don't know where the passage leads, what is certain is that there is wind in that passage? At least it is good news, and there is almost no food on them, and the longer they stay in this empty cave, the more unfavorable it is for the three of them.
The cave inside and outside the passage is different, without the roughness of the original and natural caves? Are they all traces of artificiality? This invisible passage rock wall is densely engraved with murals, some of which are rough and some are exquisite, but the content is almost the same as the outside. Although these murals are dense, the protagonists are all slender women, and the picture itself has no coherence, and the scenes in each part are different.
Lin Mo thought of some horror stories in ancient legends, which may be the residence of some evil god.
The surrounding space and murals reveal ancient and decadent atmospheres everywhere, but Lin Mo did not feel any dangerous atmosphere. If this was really the residence of the evil gods, then He would have left now, but the passage seemed to be more curved and long than Lin Mo imagined. They walked for about two hours but had not seen the end.
Wang Dong's condition was a bit bad, as if it was because of the violent bumps and he almost didn't say much along the way.
Lin Mo and the others could only grop and move forward, while observing the surrounding murals, hoping to get some inspiration from leaving here, and saw something not old in the ancient murals.
In those scenes, some are medieval cities in the West, some are carved beams and painted roads in Eastern China, some are even carved from ancient times, and some are pictures of weird creatures conquering...
These are actually strange enough in themselves. The world of the Weird Shadow is completely different from the Federation. If it were some evil gods here, why would there be so many pictures closely related to the Federation's human world?
Until Lin Mo saw a picture.
The picture on it is a modern city. In the picture, countless god-like creatures are flying in the air, and the woman who has always been the protagonist is mixed with the escaped humans, staring at the sky in horror.
Next, Lin Mo saw several similar murals, modern cities, terrifying weirdness fell from the sky, but ordinary humans were attacked. Some modern cities outlined in murals are even more advanced than the Federation where Lin Mo lives, such as the future outlined in cyberpunk movies.
In these murals, the heroines have different states, some are panicked, some are determined, and some even dare to challenge those weird...
In a mural that Lin Mo saw, an even more incredible scene appeared. The faceless heroine flew in the sky, and in the dilapidated city of death, countless strange things were trembling and worshipping her.
From here, the pictures seem to gradually become coherent. After the strange scenes of women dominating and intimidating, there is an extremely strange scene of childbirth.
She lay on the high platform made of gravel and gave birth in pain. A disc-like thing flew in the sky, drooping a dim light shrouding her.
Another mural was changed, and she successfully gave birth, with seven children.
The next scene that followed was extremely bloody and terrifying. Seven newborn children climbed onto her body and shared her cruelly.
In the faint light of the flashlight, the face of the woman who became a mother was intertwined with pain and... an indescribable relief.
The mural seemed to carry some kind of evil power. Lin Mo looked in at the sight and could hardly move his eyes away until one of his shoulders slightly lightened and a loud noise came.
Wang Dong slid from Lin Mo's hand and fell to the ground like mud.
Lin Mo immediately shone the flashlight at him.
Wang Dong leaned against the wall with a pale face and could hardly even sit down. He was facing the glimmer of the flashlight and showed a bitter and difficult smile.
He is going to die.
