Chapter 322 Brass Pipes in the Refrigerator

The surrounding temperature continued to drop, and to make matters worse, Chen Yan could no longer feel his legs at all.

He fell sideways on the ground and looked down at his legs. He saw that his coarse trousers had been frozen solid, and a thick layer of frost had condensed on his trouser legs at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The meat bones that made up the entire passage in the refrigerator were squeezed towards him. Those things seemed to be alive, because Chen Yan could even see the blood flowing in the ice of the meat bones.

To say "flow" is actually not quite accurate. To be more precise, it is "creep"——

There seemed to be countless long worms squirming on the fleshy bones. As the worms squirmed faster, the fleshy bones squeezed towards him faster.

If you don't find a way to escape from here, even if you don't freeze to death here, you will be squeezed to death by these flesh and bones!

Chen Yan looked at the bones that were connected together and squirming acceleratingly, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind:

Since these things are alive, will they be affected by the ritual knife?

Now that he is at the end of his rope and has no other choice, he might as well take the risk and maybe get a glimmer of hope.

He took out his ceremonial knife and stabbed into the passage made of flesh and bones under his body.

The sacrificial knife without even a blade easily penetrated the frozen flesh and bones. As the blade was completely submerged, the entire passage began to convulse violently.

It felt like it was pierced into the body of a living creature, causing a painful reaction.

Using the sacrificial knife as a starting point, Chen Yan saw the gap under him getting bigger and bigger, and at the other end of the gap was a scene he had never seen before:

The huge dark space was filled with various pipes, most of which were made of brass.

Some of the brass that makes up the pipes looks new, as if it has been waxed, and even in a dim environment, you can see the shine on its surface.

Most of the brass that makes up the pipes looks to be old, tarnished, and has a fair amount of green patina.

And a very small part - Chen Yan saw a few tattered, abandoned brass pipes in the corner, covered with a lot of green and brick-red patina, which looked extremely ugly.

On these severely rusted brass pipes, you can clearly see the holes that were broken from the inside out - it seems that something once broke the brass pipe from the inside and drilled out.

These pipes range from large to small, with the large ones running almost across the entire dark space, and the small ones being only the size of the running water pipes in a human bathroom.

Countless pipes, large and small, are complex and intertwined in the huge space, like overlapping staircases. It is impossible to tell how many layers there are at a glance.

Chen Yan couldn't see the ground of the huge dim space through the gap. He could only see that he was facing one of the largest brass pipes in the entire space.

The upper surface of the brass pipe is probably less than two meters away from you!

He felt the moist and hot breath from the gap, gritted his teeth, supported his body with his forearms, and jumped towards the direction of the brass pipe outside the gap.

After about half a second of feeling weightless, he hit the brass pipe which was not so cold.

The pain made him shudder, and his consciousness, which was slightly stagnant due to the cold, completely woke up.

The warm feeling in the pipe was transmitted to him along the brass, warming his clothes in a moment and dispelling the cold that enveloped his whole body.

Chen Yan was lying on the brass pipe. While his body functions were recovering, he could also see further into the dim space——

As far as the field of vision can be seen, there are brass pipes of different sizes. These pipes are layered and intertwined in what seems like an endless space. The starting point and end point are completely invisible——

I don’t know where these pipes come from and where they lead.

Chen Yan looked at the layers of brass pipes in the space and felt an inexplicable dizziness.

The moment dizziness appeared, he lost his sense of direction and couldn't even feel gravity. He felt as if he was about to fly in the next second.

This absurd and bizarre feeling lasted until the voice of desire appeared in my ears.

'Where have you been!'

Chen Yan tried to respond to her panicked voice.

"I...I don't know where I am now...how did you find me?"

Wish's voice was obviously less panicked:

'I have your coordinates... When I say this, you are not in the passage inside the refrigerator now, are you? I can't sense your breath from the refrigerator.'

He looked at the endless brass pipes in front of him and briefly described to Wishes what had just happened and the characteristics of this place.

'Is this so...'

After hearing this, Wishful said slowly:

'You should have entered a deeper world.'

'It's...interesting. The passage in the refrigerator actually leads to a deeper world...It seems that the position you poked with the ritual knife is not appropriate.'

‘If you go forward a little further and use the ceremonial knife to cut through the frozen passage, you may be able to appear at the starting point of the brass pipe.

That should be the other end of the refrigerator space, where the meat is replaced.’

Chen Yan felt that the pain in his legs had eased a little. He tried to stand up, looked into the darkness at the end of the brass pipe, and continued to try to communicate his desire:

"What are these pipes used for?"

Wishes did not answer, but said in a warning tone:

'You need to curb your curiosity.

I’ve told you before that extraordinary people with the ability to see are most likely to lose control, especially when your curiosity expands, your spiritual vision will be activated, and you will see things you shouldn’t see.’

Chen Yan retorted:

"But you also said that if you don't train your intracranial eyes, you will never be able to master the extraordinary ability of [seeing].

Then, I must face those [unknown knowledge] head-on."

Chen Yan stared at the endless brass pipes.

"I believe I have the courage to look into the unknown."

After a minute of silence, the voice of desire appeared again.

'This space...does not exist in [this world]. According to your description, although it is a deeper world, it is probably man-made.'

Chen Yan nodded and said thoughtfully:

"Except for the brass pipes with obvious artificial traces, there is nothing else here. It is in line with some people's industrial design concepts... maybe it is really artificial!"

Chen Yan thought about it again and said in a deep voice:

"I felt a strange smell, and starting from the passage in the refrigerator, I felt like everything started to become unreal.

I think I should have activated my spiritual vision without knowing it."

"So, whether it is these brass pipes or the previously frozen flesh and bone passage, they should be things seen in spiritual vision——

It’s something deeper in the world that doesn’t exist in [reality].”

"With so many pipelines, even if they were manufactured in the human world, it would cost an unimaginable amount of money."

He once again took a serious look at the endless brass pipes.

"In a sense, it's simply impossible for humans to make something like this."

"So, these things...the pipes I saw, are they not pipes?

Are these pipes the way something appears in front of me?

Do these pipes... represent some kind of [unknown knowledge]?"

The wish immediately answered his doubts.

'You are much smarter than I thought...'

There was disappointment in her voice.

'Let me tell you this.'

‘These channels appear as [channels] in your spiritual vision, but in fact, they are not channels in nature.

These pipes represent something.

Those things have very similar properties to pipes.

So when you see those things, you see what the pipes look like.’

Chen Yan's heart beat excitedly:

"Because my spiritual vision is not strong enough, I cannot see what these pipes really look like at a glance, so I can only see [brass pipes]."

Wish replied:

'Yes.'

Chen Yan asked again:

“Can you see these things through my eyes?

I've seen some amazing images through your eyes."

There was doubt in the voice of wish:

‘Actually, I have always felt strange about this matter. How did you do it in the first place?

I know it must be because of that grain of rice, but what exactly is that grain of rice?
