Chapter 610 Ten Thousand “Whys”
In just a moment, the inky light emitted by the jade pendant in Qi Mo's hand was being withdrawn and dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was being greedily sucked away by the abyss behind the door.
However, Zhan Qing's figure became more solid and clear in this countercurrent of energy. An indescribable aura began to emanate from her body.
It was no longer pure clarity, nor was it the key to a chaotic door, but an inhuman pressure that blended the coldness of a young girl with that of an ancient existence.
Her eyes had completely lost all their human emotions at this moment, leaving only the pure depth that understood the rules of the dimension.
"Is she crazy?!" Yu Wenjin struggled to find her voice, "She's trying to take control!"
He grabbed Qi Mo's sleeve and thrust the star plate in front of him, "Look!
Qi Mo lowered his head and saw that the huge and chaotic light spot on the star map, which represented the existence of the key to the door, was twisting and shrinking violently!
At the core, a tiny spot of light with a unique energy imprint was spreading and eroding like a virus!
"She's not taking the lead..." Qi Mo took a deep breath, suppressing the weakness brought on by the crazy extraction of the jade pendant's energy. His eyes were filled with turmoil: "She is... forcing a fusion! Trying to devour the Gate Key's core consciousness! She wants to... turn herself into the new 'Gate Key'——"
...
The moon, within the "realm" of the Gate Key.
When Zhan Qing's fingertips touched the core consciousness of the Gate Key, she finally saw the formation of that twisted consciousness! It was a "faith harvester" composed of countless, wriggling tentacles of the Cthulhu!
At this moment, she clearly saw that every tentacle was engraved with the fear and despair of mortals. On one of the tentacles that had just stretched out, the four large and clear characters "Gong Yang Zhan Qing" were engraved.
When her ascending consciousness penetrated into it, what she heard was not an oracle, but the lamentation of thousands of "whys" -
"Why be afraid?"
"Why should I believe it?"
"Why die?"
“…”
Countless questions that were cut off by the restraint system accumulated into reefs at the core of the key to the door.
"Why, do you want to devour me?" When the voice of the Door Key echoed in every organ of Zhan Qing, her body began to swell for no reason, as if it would be stretched and broken in the next second!
She recalled the scene when she met Su Mohui on the first continent, and the little gadgets Shen Jiaan gave her. These "useless things" of mortals now condensed into sharp swords in her sea of consciousness.
When her grey clothes suddenly shone with light, a smile appeared on her lips: "Because, I want to show you what a true god is!"
The conversation ended here. The Key to the Gate, provoked, suddenly surged in its consciousness logic chain, and a wave-like gray fog rapidly spread across the surface of the moon! But at the moment it devoured Zhan Qing's consciousness, it strangely left her with a glimmer of hope.
........
During the 49th consciousness confrontation, Zhan Qing took half a step forward within the realm of the Door Key, but was thrown into a "real" world by the Door Key in the form of a soul.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself immersed in an icy oxygen chamber in a key observation room of a scientific research base.
"Why did you wake up first?" a female doctor's voice came to my ears. Behind the doctor, a young girl was holding a large pink water cup.
The girl leaned close to the bulkhead, her nose almost touching the glass, staring at Zhan Qing curiously: "Or...how did you step out of the dimension?"
Zhan Qing shook his head. The "real" world before him began to distort. The originally cold instruments began to twist and dissolve, transforming into a K-type attack. The large pink water cup in the girl's hand suddenly turned into the eyes of Azathoth.
"Who are you?" The ethereal voice penetrated directly into Zhan Qing's mind, nearly shattering her consciousness!
"I am Zhan Qing!" She only felt the air in the oxygen chamber disappearing rapidly. After squeezing out these four words with all her strength, the feeling of suffocation had already strangled her throat.
The female doctor, expressionless, pulled out a notebook from her breast pocket. The black pen scratched across the paper as she wrote a line of small words:
[Experimental Observer, Awakening for the First Time, Suspected Success (To be Determined)]
The next second, Zhan Qing's consciousness turned to ashes under the gaze of Azathoth and disappeared in the observation laboratory. As darkness covered her eyes, she heard the female doctor's voice sighing in her ear, "Failed again."
In just a moment, her soul was pulled back to the moon by her body. With her as the center, a silent but violent ripple exploded and swept across the universe!
As the air waves silently collided in the universe, a trace of imperceptible "fear" was sensed by the Key to the Gate for the first time.
......
This is... the 76th time.
The sea of consciousness was torn apart by the dimensional storm again. Zhan Qing's body had long since turned into stardust, entwining around the periphery of the key to the door, replacing those foam stars that had been floating for thousands of years!
The core logic chain of the Key to the Door's consciousness had been twisted into a knot by her bare hands a minute ago! That tentacle matrix woven from "fear" and "obedience," engraved with the "Key to the Door's Body," was now being forced to undergo a cycle of baptism from "Daxia Classic Square Dance Instruction"—
Countless tentacles mechanically gestured "The vast horizon is my love", and the eyeballs at the top were covered with a layer of gray fog that made people feel hopeless.
"Stop!!" The Gate Key Consciousness screamed with a broken voice, "What the hell are you doing?!"
Baptized by multiple dimensional storms, the girl's body had long since been annihilated, leaving only a wisp of soul embodying the essence of the supreme godhead. Zhan Qing's projection of consciousness crossed its legs, scratching its ear with its pinky finger, its other hand clutching a candied haws stick from Meng's Roasted Nuts.
"Transform you." She snapped her fingers. A holographic projector suddenly emerged from the rose bushes growing at the base of the tentacles. The cartoons "SpongeBob" and "Cat and Mouse," designed to cure brainlessness and unhappiness, began bombarding the GateKey's "domain."
In an instant, the entire dimensional space was filled with the cheerful opening song.
The "realm" of the Gate Key lacks a concept of time, yet it operates at the speed of time in the entrant's native world. The Gray Realm of the Unreturning Abyss, however, experiences time flow at a rate exceeding a hundred times that of the Ninth Heaven! Before Zhan Qing entered the Gate Key, the time flowed at an extremely high rate in the Gray Realm of the Unreturning Abyss, almost a hundred times faster than that of the Ninth Heaven!
then...
In this "field," Zhan Qing played "Unity is Strength" on loop for 365 days for the Gate Key consciousness and its resentment-tainted, Ke-type tentacles. He recited "On Protracted War" with great emotion for 7201 days, and even used divine power to carve "Daxia's Socialist Core Values" into the surface of his tentacles for an entire day...
Finally, on the next day, the consciousness of the Key to the Door shrivelled into a dehydrated pickle.
