These mummies are not all in the same "dry and decayed" state, they have different degrees of dryness and decay.

A few parts have completely decayed and no longer shine, becoming a pile of bone mounds that cannot be formed. There is no longer a surge of data in the connecting lines connected to the bone mounds.

Most of them are immortal but emitting dim light. Most of the light that Chen Yan can see comes from them. They maintain the state of "working hard" and have no energy to maintain other actions.

Very few parts - Chen Yan only met one person. This person maintained the appearance of a normal person and emitted a very strong light. His body was almost intact, except for a burnt corpse spot on his throat.

The rest of the parts are normal, with no signs of decay at all.

"you……"

The man called to him, wanting to ask for help.

The man moved his head with difficulty, and just one syllable made him sweat profusely.

"help me……"

After barely uttering three syllables, his whole body seemed to be in collapse. The area of ​​​​the corpse in his throat expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within three syllables, it had expanded to his lower jaw.

Chen Yan came to him:

'Who are you?'

The man struggled to answer:

"Backup."

When this word was spoken, the burning corpse spots spread to his face, and the entire area from the jaw to the throat had been burned away, leaving only bones intertwined.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he kept repeating with his tongue that was no longer intact:

"Backup...backup..."

When Chen Yan heard this word, his mind went blank.

He desperately resisted the complex emotions caused by fear in his heart and asked:

'Who backed you up?'

There was anger in the man's eyes because he discovered that Chen Yan did not ask his name, but only asked about things here, which showed that Chen Yan did not want to save him at all.

But he was restrained here, with data cables tied around his body, and he had no way to do anything to Chen Yan. He could only move toward Chen Yan in vain out of anger.

Chen Yan took one last look at the surrounding darkness, which seemed to be able to swallow up the light, as well as the sparse grass on the ground, and whispered:

'Quasimodo, let's go back.'

The next moment a pulling force appeared, Chen Yan quickly retreated due to the huge inertia until he passed through a certain "barrier" and returned to the eighth floor of the black prison building in the online world, in front of the computer screen.

"The time is almost up, we must go back first."

Quasimodo moved very quickly. When he finished speaking, a backward light appeared around Chen Yan.

As countless colorful lights and shadows cascaded backwards, the light in front of Chen Yan flickered. When another burst of strong light appeared, his vision returned to normal.

The heavy snow has submerged the entire dome of the huge lighthouse, and the three beings existing in the form of spirit bodies have not left any trace on the dome.

They returned to the real world.

【What did you just see?】

Chen Yan, who was in a state of great mental shock, did not speak.

Quasimodo replied:

"They are some bound semi-spiritual bodies. They are not completely data, but some kind of intermediate state between data and flesh. This state is very strange. I cannot understand it and I dare not delve into it."

[Quasimodo has just come into contact with the Internet, and he doesn’t know much about it. What he knows now about the extraordinary is what I told him. 】

Wishes said to Chen Yan:

[His power can only be used for 10 minutes in a 24-hour period. There will be risks if you exceed 10 minutes, so if you still want to explore that place, you have to come back after 24 hours. 】

Chen Yan looked complicated:

'No, I can't come. Within 24 hours, the impostor will leave Yanan City no matter what. If I want to get my body back, I must follow him.'

Wishes looked at the way he was hesitant to speak, and knew that he had his own thoughts, so he said to him:

[I will go back with you. As long as you stay with Ogami, you can ensure a large degree of safety.]

After saying goodbye to Quasimodo, Wish took Chen Yan back on his way.

Chen Yan clung to the back of the huge beast's shadow and whispered about her situation.

[I'm actually fine, it's just that stupid tiger suffered a big crime. That brain robot, Wan Brynmesh, has been conducting exploratory experiments on stupid tiger's body.

Until now, the experiment has progressed to the point where the flesh needs to be cut. Fortunately, the stupid tiger has relatively strong brute force and a strong will to resist. Plus, with my help and care, Wan Brynmesh has never succeeded.]

Chen Yan doesn't care about bad news, he just wants to know more.

[According to my investigation, Van Brimesh was forced into the zoo by the Byron Weiss Group.

Because of this incident, the group and William Master were very unhappy.

Although the zoo bears the name of Byron Weiss, it is actually managed by William Master, and daily activities are also handled by William Master and his henchmen.

The group's move of forcibly inserting informants made William Master very uncomfortable, especially after Red Moon Star Technology Company had a close cooperative relationship with the Northern Federation because of the Internet. William Master and the Northern Federal Parliament

, and the relationship with the big shots in the Yanan City Council has reached a new level. His personal energy is much greater than before, and he hates the group's gesticulating behavior.】

[But Van Brynmesh is still safely staying in the zoo, conducting inhumane experiments on the extraordinary species that William Master has worked so hard to find. This shows that the power of the Byron Weiss Group is greater than we imagined.

Much larger.]

[I once tried to sneak into the Byron Weiss Group's branch in Yharnam City, but I couldn't even get through their walls. They obviously have unique defense techniques against extraordinary creatures.]

[Stupid tiger has great research value for them. If you want to rescue stupid tiger, it is really difficult...]

The Byron Weiss Group is a multinational technology company that studies the modern technology of extraordinary creatures, and the wish is some kind of ancient extraordinary creature native to the empire. From this point of view, the wish is almost the perfect research object for the Byron Weiss Group.

If Chen Yan remembers correctly, the zoo itself was established to serve the biological research of the Byron Weiss Group.

It was only because of the personal pursuit of director William Mast that the zoo deviated from the group's original plans and ideas when it founded the zoo during its subsequent establishment and operation.

'No matter what, I will save you...you guys come out.'

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he fell silent.

He didn't say another word until he returned to the apartment at 33 Walker Street.

He came to the roof, greeted Ogami, and fell silent.

Until dawn, when the sky broke, there was finally movement in the "Chen Yan" in Room 305.
