Chapter 369: Chapter 355 The Gate and the Truth...?_2

The screen, just like that, disappeared.

Quiet.

Chen Xiao... everyone stood still, either shocked or confused.

After a long while.

"Hehehe, honestly, if you put your heart into it, you could fake this kind of holographic screen, right?" Chen Xiao was the first to break the silence.

"You still don’t believe it?" A-Ming said.

"Don’t get riled up~" Chen Xiao replied as he put down the gun, "I think this is quite fascinating, hehe, so whether it’s real or fake, I choose to believe." As he spoke, Chen Xiao stepped back a few paces and tucked away his gun, "Hey, Xiao Bai, turn on the necklace, and all the remaining people, if you don’t want to turn into lunatics, stay close to Bai Xiong. Recently, that guy has been playing hide and seek with a smoker; I guess he won’t show up for long, but even if he appears for just a second, it’ll be enough to keep you going for a while, hehehe. Oh, right, I forgot to mention this to you two." Chen Xiao suddenly looked at Bai Xiong and Song Xuan and said, "The major incident in the K city anomaly research area, that was my doing, Dark Realm... it’s also me. Hmm, I hope you won’t mind..."

Having said that, Chen Xiao slowly closed his eyes.

Bai Xiong seemed to immediately remember something, the surveillance footage he had seen at K city, the strange behavior of Chen Xiao...

"Everyone get close to me now!!" he yelled, almost never having felt such a strong wave of emotion before, and instantly took out the necklace, a pale blue light screen spread out, enveloping everyone.

A second later.

"Buzzzzz———!!!!"

The alarm blared, and compared to the earlier alarm, it was like the roaring of a train. The room lights turned even more crimson and began to spin and flash non-stop, like the warning signals of the apocalypse.

In the midst of all this chaos, Chen Xiao slowly lifted his head.

"Oh my, oh my~ to bring me out at this time, how impolite. How long do I have to stay here?" he said in a suppressed voice, then as if he had just noticed the huddled crowd in front of him, he added, "Oh, looks like this guy has quite a few friends... hehehe, well then, hello everyone!"

He slightly bowed his head, one hand resting on his chest, the other tipping his fingers, performing a very genteel gentleman’s gesture.

But at this moment, no one cared about the elegance of the gesture. A frenzy of chaos burst forth from the depths of everyone’s consciousness. They surged through every corner of their bodies like unleashed wild beasts, their cells trembling and clamoring, compelling them to fulfill a grand and insane mission. They devoured all rationality, attempting to control people’s actions: insanity, slaughter, hysterical laughter, or maybe do something interesting, like taste the soft flesh in their own throats... the bloodlust in their eyes began to wildly take over, gradually losing their selves. Without the necklace’s barrier, this moment alone would be enough to plunge everyone into eternal madness!

"Danger level XK! Repeat, danger level XK! Containment chamber ejecting! Countdown——"

"Hmm... it seems my appearance is still quite effective, and while I’m delighted to see you all, there’s a pesky smoker who’s still looking for me everywhere, so... see you later."

After finishing, Chen Xiao’s figure wavered as if he were about to faint, and at that moment, "3—2—1" the countdown finished.

The entire containment chamber "boom" burst forward, a massive recoil sent everyone crashing against the wall, the containment chamber shot out like a shell, creating a huge current in the lightless deep sea.

...

...

According to statistics, about 40% of people have a fear of the deep sea, and those who have experienced drowning or claustrophobia follow closely at eighty percent.

The deep sea... really is a world of boundless horror.

Let’s imagine for a moment, if you were a kind of person who cannot die...

You slowly enter the water, slowly begin to descend. Surrounding you are corals veiled in a layer of blue, small fish, all appearing so beautiful. But soon, you can no longer see them, you feel the water pressure intensifying, darkness beginning to envelop all around you. Before long, you’re drifting further and further away from that school of fish, their shapes barely distinguishable. You see a massive figure—a whale. It doesn’t see you, just slowly swims past, yet you can clearly see every inch of its rough skin—feeling your own insignificance.

Gradually, even the whales that haunt the deep sea leave you behind. Looking up at the diminishing light above, darkness increasingly consumes your surroundings. You have no idea where you are or how far from shore. You realize, you probably won’t make it back. Alone, you slowly sink into an eerily silent and desolate sea. There’s nothing around, just the endless, profound darkness... You can only stay here alone in this desolate sea, with no living creature for company, just the darkness. You can’t find any direction, because the surrounding darkness and the high water pressure make you feel helpless. And this place, is just about a thousand meters below the sea surface.

What about further down... an even more terrifying blackness, you don’t know what things are waiting for you. Is it the slimy tentacles touching your ankles, ferocious sea monsters with terrifying faces! Or even more unimaginable unknown things? Even surrounded by such darkness, such wastelands, such solitude, still so far from the ocean floor. You can only helplessly keep sinking, sinking, thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters, or even farther... and yet you have no escape!

And this, is the predicament that Chen Xiao and his companions now faced.

As previously mentioned, all containment units in the Pacific Division are independently designed. Should a special circumstance arise, they would be immediately ejected, which is precisely the treatment that Chen Xiao and his group were now experiencing. The walls of the containment unit, no longer supported by air pressure, were already emitting creepy creaking noises, the edges of several corners starting to visibly curve inward.

Chen Xiao struggled to his feet, shaking his slightly dizzy head, unsure if it was due to the recent switch of consciousness or the intensity of the impact.

"What happened?" he asked, wearing an expression that said he knew nothing of the situation.

At that moment, everyone was scattered haphazardly on the floor, their minds still not free from the insanity, all sporting confused faces.

"It seems... we’ve been ejected!" The nurse recovered quickest and was the first to speak.

Chen Xiao immediately surveyed the surrounding walls, the piercing sound growing stronger, several wall panels already caving in. Even for someone like Chen Xiao, such a situation rendered him speechless for a moment.

Just a thin layer of iron separated them from the deep sea where no light or sound penetrated. No matter how desperately they struggled, there was no chance of rescue, only a waiting death from starvation or being crushed into a pulp by seawater breaking through the wall, or perhaps... being devoured by something even more terrible. And even in death, no one would ever know; they would forever float in this claustrophobic, oppressive world...

"A-Ming... will save us," the nurse said through clenched teeth, perhaps unaware that her entire body was shaking uncontrollably.

And at that moment, which they naturally couldn’t see, just outside the floating containment unit, deep within the ten-thousand-meter sea.

A door of immense proportions appeared out of nowhere, without a sound!

Weathered wood, rusted locks, it looked like an ordinary door from an old residential building, only scaled up to an astonishing size, and inexplicably rising slowly from the water!

The next second... the door opened!
