Chapter 263 The Stairway to Nowhere



Chapter 263 The Stairway to Nowhere

There is a feeling as if my soul has entered my body in a misplaced state, my soul has entered my body in a ghost state, and everything is chaotic.

Bai Ning forcibly concentrated and meditated, trying to recover from this extremely chaotic state.

Gradually, the sound of wind seemed to reappear in my ears.

Did you finally get over it?

Bai Ning tried to find the infinite sea of ​​flowers in his field of vision.

He couldn't see clearly, and there seemed to be endless ghost images appearing in Bai Ning's field of vision. It was as if he suddenly had cataracts and his entire visual system had collapsed.

He wanted to use his arms to wipe his eyes, but it felt as if his hands no longer existed at all. The inexplicable phantom pain of severed limbs suddenly hit, eroding the already exhausted nervous system.

I took two sharp breaths, but felt that my nostrils seemed completely blocked, and I couldn't open my mouth. I felt like I was suffocating myself to death.

Without making any plans in this regard, breathing seems to proceed slowly and naturally in a natural way. Although it cannot provide sufficient oxygen, at least it does not feel like suffocation.

Bai Ning's entire body seemed to have entered a vegetative state, with only necessary unconditioned reflexes and some very basic conditioned reflexes.

This is more serious than the state of ghost pressing on the bed. In the state of ghost pressing on the bed, the nervous system can at least try to control the body, but in the current state, the entire body seems to have completely lost contact with the nervous system.

Consciousness is consciousness, brain is brain, and body is body.

The three are clearly distinct, and there seems to be a certain connection, but this connection is blocked by something unknown.

Unable to take over the body again, even if he could successfully escape from that mysterious man-made space by concentrating inwardly, Bai Ning was still bound by the Lord of the Netherworld.

What is the reason that led to this chaotic return?

Bai Ning's consciousness surged, and the first thing he thought of was Captain Dong's drug offensive.

Since Bai Ning's soul is stronger than that of ordinary people, Captain Dong's drug offensive has a certain impact on him, but it has no real impact.

This kind of drug resistance based on the strength of the soul can also be understood to a certain extent as Bai Ning's consciousness, with the blessing of the strength of the soul, can ignore the abnormal state of the body to a certain extent.

Under the influence of this drug resistance, the gap between body and consciousness is also destined to be separated and even distorted.

Under normal conditions, the barrier between the body and consciousness is like the internal stress of steel. Although it is harmful to a certain extent, it does not affect the integrity of the body and consciousness.

But when the special mechanism on the Lord of the Netherworld stripped Bai Ning's consciousness away, the disconnection between the body and consciousness led to an explosion of internal stress, destroying the connection channel between the two.

When Bai Ning's consciousness returned, this internal destructiveness became apparent, which also led to the disintegration between Bai Ning's body and consciousness.

How to repair such a crack may lie in the continued stimulation of Captain Dong's medicine, or in the subsequent conditioning of the internal organs.

Without any other option, Bai Ning could only continue to stare inwards, trying to let his consciousness control this body again.

Silently sensing this process, Bai Ning's lost body parts seemed to begin to become clear in Bai Ning's consciousness.

The hands are hands, the feet are feet, and the facial features of the body slowly become clearer.

After trying the re-sensed arm, the phantom pain of a broken limb disappeared. Although there was some numbness and tingling, Bai Ning was finally able to sense the presence of his hands through his own efforts.

As the recovery gradually progressed, Bai Ning's eyes finally regained their vision. He squinted his eyes for a while, trying to adapt, but the light projected from the slit in his eyes made Bai Ning suddenly startled.

As if a feeling of electric shock passed away in a flash, Bai Ning suddenly got up from his paralyzed state.

Lying on top of the giant carriage running at high speed, the dazzling white light curtain above his head had long since disappeared, turning into a dark rocky sky.

Occasionally, dazzling spotlights flashed in it, turning into a strip of light that seemed to guide the giant carriage in an unknown direction.

The infinite sea of ​​flowers on the ground was replaced by a cold and hard rocky ground, just like the hard ground at the bottom of the abyss before.

Could it be that the Lord of the Netherworld has returned to the cracks of the abyss?

Such an environment is extremely dangerous. Thinking about the bodyguards who were left outside the carriage and were massacred by the mantis, it seems to be becoming an inevitable outcome.

Now, let’s not talk about the equipment for self-protection. Even the manpower is stretched thin. What can we use to resist the possible Mantis offensive?

The road ahead was uncertain, and Bai Ning could only temporarily suppress this ominous feeling, and instead began to try to wake up the four sleeping bodyguards.

He pushed a strong bodyguard next to him and saw that he was as motionless as a corpse.

It is no exaggeration to say that apart from having a breath of hot breath, this bodyguard is basically the same as a corpse.

Have their consciousness also been imprisoned in that special space?

Such a dilemma also indicates that any attempt by Bai Ning to wake him up will be in vain.

After searching among the four bodyguards, Bai Ning quickly found a portable monocular telescope. He picked it up and looked at the situation ahead. Due to the lack of light, it was gray and nothing could be seen clearly.

This is tricky!

Bai Ning didn't know the specific destination of the Lord of the Netherworld. Even if he wanted to jump out of the car, he couldn't grasp the basic sense of proportion.

Jumping too early or jumping late will not be conducive to their follow-up actions.

Bai Ning stretched a finger to the side of the carriage and felt the speed of the carriage. Bai Ning could clearly feel that the speed of the carriage was slower than in the infinite sea of ​​flowers.

The width of this horse-drawn carriage is moderate, the road surface is smooth, and there are no obstacles or slowdown areas. There is no reason for the carriage's speed to decrease in this area.

The most likely situation is that the horse's physical strength is limited, and after running long distances, it is no longer in peak condition.

If the future journey is still very far, then the carriage may move forward in a more gentle way, which is the best cruising state.

Nowadays, the speed of the carriage has only been slightly reduced, and it is still moving forward at the speed limit of the horse's current state. This means that the subsequent journey is within the limit of the horse's physical strength.
