Chapter 143

“Failed again.”

Inside the Spirit Medium Town, now a wasteland, Lu Yanli suddenly said this to himself.

It seemed they were sparing no effort in trying to find him. But now he was hiding in the isolated other dimension he had created. Based on his previous experiences, he wouldn’t be found here.

If one didn’t work, then the next one.

He had planted a seed in Lin Chu’s heart, and she couldn’t resist him.

Before dark, Lin Chu returned and saw Lu Yanli sitting at the table, seemingly painting.

“What are you painting?”

Before Lin Chu entered, Lu Yanli quickly put away the painting and shook his head, “I can’t show it to you yet.”

Lin Chu was curious, but she believed that they were currently on the same side. He must also want to leave this place very much. Perhaps… they could cooperate for now.

She didn’t speak, watching Lu Yanli fold the painting, put it in an envelope, and then… handed it to her?

“For me?”

“Yes, open it when the time comes.”

There was no time written on the envelope. Lin Chu took it: “What time?”

This made Lin Chu hesitant to act. She nodded and solemnly put the envelope away.

“No new discoveries. The town is surrounded by dense fog, and there’s no way to get out,” Lin Chu said.

This place seemed to be trapped in the cracks of time, unable to see the sun, moon, or stars. The sky was always gloomy. The difference between day and night was only the degree of dimness. Lin Chu remembered Lu Yanli saying that there were strange events outside at night, so she hurried back before it got dark.

Lu Yanli shook his head, “I’ve been waiting here for three years, and I’ve found nothing. At first, I also thought there was a way out, but I later discovered that this place is just a dead end.”

“We can’t possibly be trapped here forever,” Lin Chu said, “How did you get here?”

Lin Chu had also figured out the pattern. Whenever there was time travel, it had to be through some kind of medium. The research institute had its own medium, and some special tunnels she discovered in other worlds also had this kind of function.

He described his own experience as being very similar to Lin Chu’s, in order to gain her trust. Lin Chu easily believed his excuse and began to ponder.

“Now it seems that the key is still that tunnel. We must find a way to move the thing blocking the tunnel.”

Lu Yanli shook his head, “It’s useless, I’ve tried. The first day I moved away part of the limbs, the next day when I went in, the missing parts were restored.”

“We still have to try,” Lin Chu said, “Aren’t you good at making bombs?”

She wanted to see if she could blast the tunnel open.

“Tried it, couldn’t completely blast it open. After the second day, it was restored again.”

Of course, Lu Yanli knew what was going on. How could the isolation of time and space be blasted open with a simple bomb?

If this didn’t work and that didn’t work, Lin Chu instantly deflated. There would be various strange creatures in the Spirit Medium Town at night, and Lin Chu could only find a room to rest.

After she fell into a drowsy sleep, Lu Yanli entered the room. He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and placed it next to Lin Chu.

Soon, a new test subject was born.

*

Late night city.

The female corpse behind her was clearly only moving slowly, but every time Chu Xian looked back, she could see that the distance between them had narrowed.

What to do now? Also, where did Chu Xiu go? Would something happen to him?

Chu Xian was very worried about her younger brother, but she had no choice but to keep running wildly on this dark road.

Behind her, the female corpse was getting closer and closer.

Faster…

Where should she hide?

Seemingly in an instant, she had run from the city to the suburbs. The surroundings were full of barren land, and even trees were scarce. Black and white eyes hung in the air, replacing the moon. Chu Xian noticed the gaze from high above, but she didn’t dare to look up.

Lin Chu seemed to have seen something in those eyes, which was why she died suddenly.

Lu Yanli?

Why did she have a sense of déjà vu?

In the night, that eye suddenly blinked and curved at Chu Xian, looking like it was smiling at her.

“Sleeve, what’s wrong?” Chu Xian panicked and called out his nickname.

Those students stretched out their arms, reaching towards his neck.

“No! Chu Xiu! Get out of the way!” Chu Xian’s eyes were bloodshot. “Get out of the way!!”

Her shouts weren’t heard. Almost instantly, Chu Xian seemed to understand something.

The current scene overlapped with her novel concept!

Whether it was the giant eye or this game… they had all become reality!

Since these games could come true, what about the solution?

Chu Xian simulated a protagonist in her book, praying out of thin air.

“Please, let me save him, let us leave safely, I’m willing to pay any price…”

A strong smell of blood came from behind, and a cold, rotting corpse gradually pressed against her back.

Chu Xian instantly froze in place, unable to move.

“…Please, I’m willing to become a believer… I…”

A pair of soft arms wrapped around her neck.

“Please!”

Icy fingers clasped around her neck.

Suddenly, everything seemed to fall silent. The female corpse behind her suddenly stopped moving. The sharp claws, almost poking into her skin, rested outside her trachea, causing Chu Xian to feel suffocated.

The transparent barrier in front of her slowly rotated, turning into a vortex.

Chu Xian broke free from the female corpse’s restraint and was about to escape, but she took a step back in shock as soon as she turned around.

Paper figures.

The sky was filled with paper figures, with pale faces and red, curved lips. They were laughing and giggling. Pairs of dark, crudely drawn eyes were staring at her. Some of the paper figures were carrying lanterns. On closer inspection, the round lanterns under the thin sticks were actually hollowed-out skulls, covered with a layer of greasy human skin, with light shining through the two eye sockets.

No matter how much Chu Xian could imagine, she had never seen such a bizarre scene, especially… with pairs of eyes all staring at her, it was hard not to make her scalp tingle.

Lin Chu’s last words before her death were still replaying in her mind. Chu Xian bit her lip and rushed into the vortex in mid-air.

It was pitch black, with no light or sound. Chu Xian walked forward step by step. She had a feeling that she couldn’t make a sound. After walking a long, long distance in the dark, Chu Xian found that she had come to the outside of a ruin.

A strange city. She first defined it in her heart, and then looked around, trying to find her brother’s whereabouts.

She heard a rustling sound coming from the ruins behind her, with sand and gravel falling down, interspersed with crying and wailing.

Chu Xian hardened her heart and was about to leave when she saw a hand suddenly appear at the top of the ruins.

Below the cave, a pale, haggard man with bloodstains looked over.

“Thank you.” Lu Yanli recognized Chu Xian at a glance, and was shocked.

He hadn’t met Chu Xian, but he had heard that Chu Xiu had an older sister who had died long ago, and he had seen Chu Xian’s appearance in the mirror on the last day of Chu Xiu’s seven-day spiritual game.

Chu Xian had died long ago. He had just sung that song to attract the attention of the “god,” but he had attracted her instead?

Was the person in front of him a human or a ghost?

Chu Xian didn’t think much about it and reached out to Lu Yanli: “Come out quickly, it will be troublesome if there is a second collapse.”

Reaching out to shake his hand, it was indeed the warmth of a living person. Lu Yanli was slightly relieved and borrowed strength to jump from the ruins to the chaotic brick surface, and then returned to the ground one after another.

“Yes, I was crossing the road when the building collapsed. I was very lucky not to be crushed. Thank you very much.”

Very strange.

In such a serious accident, not only were there no police cars or ambulances, but there were not even people watching the excitement. Apart from the faint, ethereal cries for help coming from under the ruins, this street was as empty as if it had been emptied.

Not only was Chu Xian here, but Chu Xiu was also here?

These two people who had died long ago suddenly appeared in front of him. So, which time and space had he come to?

“My name is Lu Yanli, I’m sorry, I didn’t see him.”

Lu Yanli had no idea how much shock this sentence brought to Chu Xian.

The girl who died tragically in front of her had said, “Be careful of Lu Yanli” as her last words. Soon, he appeared in front of her.

She wanted to know why Lin Chu had said that sentence?

Lu Yanli agreed.

Lu Yanli, who was sitting in the Spirit Medium Town, never expected that his plan would have loopholes.

According to the original timeline, after Lin Chu died, Chu Xian would meet him.

But… Lin Chu shouldn’t have had the opportunity to say those words that made Chu Xian suspicious.
