Chapter 73 Beacon Tower
Chapter 73 Beacon Tower
After getting off the tram at the Moon Viewing Platform, Lan Yin saw a high platform.
Different from the majestic and dignified buildings of Phoenix Terrace, the only building of Moon Watching Terrace is just this high platform, which is surrounded by an iron gate at the bottom, and no one knows whether there is anyone inside.
Lan Yin put her hand on her forehead to block the glaring sunlight and looked up at the Moon-Watching Platform. She saw that the Moon-Watching Platform was so high that it reached the clouds and the top was completely invisible.
Could it be that this Moon-Viewing Platform was really built by the gods of the empire for people to watch the moon?
Lan Yin complained in her heart while slowly walking towards the beacon tower following the direction of the map.
She had originally wanted to find a way to catch a ride to the Beacon Tower after visiting the Moon-Watching Platform, but she was dumbfounded when she got off the tram. The Moon-Watching Platform was surrounded by wasteland, and there was hardly a single person on the road, let alone a ride.
Lan Yin considered using her space spirit to go up to the moon platform to see what was going on, but she quickly rejected the idea.
First, she came to the beacon tower this time mainly to check what the situation was with Wen Rongrong's mutation.
Secondly, the Moon Viewing Platform was so high that it reached the clouds. She estimated that she couldn't reach the highest point in one go using her spatial spirit body, and there was no foothold in the middle. If she fell down due to fear of heights, it would be even more disastrous.
Moreover, although there is only one high platform on this Moon Viewing Terrace, it is impossible to see with the naked eye whether there are floating streamer beads above the platform, so she decided to walk slowly to the beacon tower instead of using the space spirit body to transfer there.
Fortunately, the beacon tower was not very far away, and it only took about half an hour to walk there. Since she awakened her spiritual body, her physical fitness had improved a lot, and she didn't feel tired at all after walking for half an hour.
Beacon tower.
Lan Yin stood outside the wall of the beacon tower. The buildings inside the wall were not tall, most of them were about two stories high. If the smart bracelet had not shown that it was a research center, she would have thought she had accidentally entered someone's villa area.
Lan Yin walked around the beacon tower and found that there was only one gate, which was closed and there was no one guarding the door.
She walked towards the gate and stopped one meter away from it.
A familiar electronic voice sounded from above the door.
【Please scan pupil】
Lan Yin blinked at the door, and the door, which had been closed just now, slowly opened.
The scene inside the beacon tower was the same as what she saw outside, with low-rise buildings and small villas. Although the houses were not tall, there were many of them.
She followed the smart bracelet and walked for ten minutes before reaching the Alien Research Institute where Wen Rongrong was imprisoned. She didn't meet anyone along the way.
It was clearly daytime, but this beacon tower was completely deserted.
Lan Yin scanned her pupils again at the entrance of the research institute. Strangely, she entered this alien research institute and did not see anyone.
Why does this beacon tower feel dead?
She suddenly felt goose bumps on her arms.
But holding on to the idea that she was already here, Lan Yin had no choice but to bite the bullet and brush her pupils again to reach the basement of the research institute.
This is where Wen Rongrong is imprisoned.
When the elevator door opened, Lan Yin was shocked by the scene before her.
The entire underground floor was filled with a number of two-meter-high glass covers neatly arranged. The glass covers were filled with a blue liquid of unknown composition, and in the middle of the blue liquid were various "mutated" human bodies soaked in the blue liquid.
Some of them have their eyes open, some have their eyes closed, and every part of their body has different degrees of mutation.
However, their mutations are not complete half-and-half mutations like the Divine Religion, but a little change on the hands, a little change on the legs, and a little change on the face.
She suppressed her nausea and scanned the labels on the bottom of the neatly arranged glass jars one by one. Finally, she found a label with Wen Rongrong's name on it not far away.
Lan Yin looked up at Wen Rongrong in the glass jar. Her whole body was soaked in blue liquid, and only the exposed skin on the surface of her neck still looked smooth.
Except for the neck, Wen Rongrong's body and hands were covered with dense yellow hair, and the exposed arms were covered with hair. The legs in the lower body disappeared, and were replaced by extremely thin black tentacles, which were also covered with dense black hair.
Lan Yin couldn't tell what kind of animal this mutation was.
Lan Yin even saw the mutated black tentacles in Wen Rongrong's mouth. The tentacles were like living, free and independent individuals in the blue liquid, moving their bodies happily.
She turned around and retched, but found that she couldn't vomit anything.
No wonder Blue Baby said he couldn’t eat after watching it...
It seems that there is a difference between mutations. The people of the cult basically have mutations in the lower body, and very few have mutations in the face, so after wearing their unique black robes, they look like human beings.
But the same is not true for all the people in the glass jars at this research center. Their mutations are not regular or characteristic, and sometimes it is even impossible to tell which animal they are from.
If one must compare the mutations of the Divine Religion with those of the person in the glass jar, Lan Yin feels that the mutations of the Divine Religion are purebred, while the mutations of the person in the glass jar are somewhat like failed... hybridization.
Yes, it is hybridization...
Whether it is the mutated part or the mutated animal species, it looks like the result of the crossbreeding of several animals.
This is also the reason why the mutant in the glass jar brought her a greater visual impact than the mutant of the cult.
Lan Yin thought about it, stretched out her hand and released a detecting spirit onto Wen Rongrong's body.
[Invisible: Designate a person to become invisible. Moving the person while invisible transforms them into a spirit form, able to penetrate physical objects. Level: Level 3]
There was nothing wrong with the appearance of Wen Rongrong's spirit, which at least showed that Wen Rongrong's mutation this time was not related to the spirit.
So, is it related to theism?
It seems that I have to go back and check Wen Rongrong's whereabouts during this period. Did Wen Rongrong go to the Divine Cult alone?
How could she, a third-level spirit, be so powerful?
It's not like there's any mandatory task to complete...
But speaking of missions, Lan Yin thought of Wen Jiaojiao again. The first time she became Wen Jiaojiao was when she was forced to enter the territory of the Divine Religion to complete a mission.
Moreover, Blue Baby said that Wen Jiaojiao and Wen Rongrong are cousins. Wen Jiaojiao is from the Federation. Could Wen Rongrong be one too?
Just as Lan Yin lowered her head in thought, an unfamiliar male voice sounded behind her.
"who are you?"
But when Lan Yin turned around, she saw a face that was very familiar to her.
