Volume 1: The Inside and Outside of the World 085 The World Behind the Gate

Soon, Poplar came to the reddish-brown wooden door and put his hand on the doorknob.

Cool, stiff, and no different from a regular metal doorknob.

"Count down to three and open the door at the same time. Chu Qiu's voice came, still calm, "3, 2, 1." ”

With a click, the door opened, and with the sound of the bounce, a large piece of sunlight came into view, dazzling, warm, and impossible to look at.

In order to adapt to the previous dark environment, poplar's body was blessed with a variety of spells to strengthen the ability to capture light, such as bright eyes, cat's eyes, sharp eyes, etc., at this moment facing this unconcealed sunlight, it was like looking directly at the sun, his eyes felt a tingling, tears flowed down, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes.

At the same time, his body felt a strange sensation that could not be described in words, as if he had collided head-on with a large mass of thick gas, which seeped into his body and mixed with the air in his lungs and the oxygen in his blood, melting everything into a large puddle of flesh and mud, which could not be distinguished from each other.

This feeling has appeared a total of 4 times, all of which are extremely short-lived, and all of them are extremely profound.

After about a minute or two, his eyes gradually adjusted to the bright light, the stinging pain subsided, and he could barely open them.

He opened his eyes, looked around, and found himself in the washstand outside the men's toilet, directly in front of his body, where the entrance and exit of the toilet was originally the entrance, and now it was wrapped in a thick black fog, exuding a malicious, grotesque, and distorted atmosphere, however, through this black fog, there was a bright sunshine sprinkled, golden as a sunny autumn light, and the contrast between the two had an indescribable weirdness.

On his left side, where the women's toilet should have been, was also enveloped in black fog, so he couldn't really see what was going on, while the road leading to the men's toilet on the right side was very normal, exactly the same as in the real world, and even the footprints left by the poplars could be seen on it.

He turned and looked behind him, where the wooden door had been replaced by a large floor-to-ceiling mirror, but the glass did not show the face of a poplar.

Inside the mirror, you can see the other four mirrors, and through the other four mirrors, you can see Chu Qiu, An Yi, Rachel, and Mo Qiushui, all standing in front of a mirror, or observing the environment, or sorting out equipment, or accumulating spells.

After a short time, An Yi spotted the mirror, turned around and pointed in one direction and seemed to make a move, but the movement was highly distorted and unrecognizable, and the color of the picture became confused.

Soon, Chu Qiu also discovered the existence of the mirror, and after observing it for a while, he also seemed to make some gesture to give orders.

However, it was all in vain, and only strange patches of color could be seen on the poplar's side, and a blue-green sigil pierced through the mirror in front of An Yi, swallowed by the endless darkness in the center of the mirror······

He also tried to send messages to others using the Book of Souls, but received no response, the communication function of the space beacon was not working, and the location function was also disordered.

Soon, everyone noticed the mirror behind them where they could see other people, and they made their own efforts to try to communicate with other people, but they also soon found that when someone tried to transmit a message through the mirror, the picture would instantly turn into irregular distorted color blocks, and other ways of transmitting information would not work.

After observing for a long time without any gains, Yang Shu felt a little impatient in his heart, got up, and walked to the men's toilet on the left.

After he left, the images of the others in the mirror suddenly became clearer, and they could be seen in their own ways, magic runes, Morse code, lip language, and phonetic transmission seals conveying the same message to the others.

"Don't go to the men's bathroom!"

Poplar stepped into the men's toilet, it was still the familiar smell, it was still that familiar place, there was a gray wall on the left, there was a row of narrow ventilation windows above the wall, the sunlight sprinkled on the ground through the glass of the ventilation window, forming large patches of light, and you could also hear the "buzzing" sound of the ventilation fan rotating.

On the right side is still a series of five compartments, with gray-white wooden doors, which can be seen to be unlocked.

Everything is too normal, but it seems too abnormal, Poplar is vigilant, full of ability, the black combat uniform once again turned into a short skirt sailor suit, and the wooden knife in his right hand is tightly held in his hand.

He held his breath, stepped forward lightly, and pushed open the first door, which was the compartment that Chu Qiu had used when he entered the alien dimension before.

As soon as Poplar's hand touched the handle and pushed the door open a little, he felt a scorching heat attack through the wooden door, and he was already prepared, and took a step back diagonally, and a fireball flew past him with the burning wooden door, hitting the wall and leaving a charred black mark.

"How do you feel déjà vu?" he spoiled, looking at the ashes of the wooden door's burning.

Poplar looked intently at the inside of the compartment, there was a slime the size of a puppy squatting on the toilet lid, the whole body was dark red, and there was magma flowing in its body, at this time it was weakly slumped on the toilet lid, and the magma was almost cool, it seemed that the fireball he spit out before had exhausted his energy.

"Lava Slime," Yang Shu let go of his hanging heart when he saw this, and stepped forward to grab the slime in his hand, "I heard Chu Qiu say that it can evolve into a lava demon or even a Balo Flame Demon, I don't know if it's true." ”

The lava slime was soft, warm, and a little wet, which made the poplar have a trace of bad associations, and he ravaged the slime in his hand more and more.

With a "squeak", the slime finally couldn't bear the unbearable weight of this life, and after letting out a scream, the surface of the body shattered, turning into a hot liquid, and sliding from the poplar's fingertips.

"Why was it played so quickly, I still have a lot of tricks to play. Poplar looked at the puddle of liquid on the ground and said regretfully.

Medium two +30

Of course, he was not idle while playing with the slime, but took the opportunity to carefully search the entire compartment, but when he found nothing, he walked out of the first compartment and came to the door of the second compartment.

With the experience of the previous time, this time the poplar tree directly faced the wooden door, predicted the position of the toilet lid, cut it with a knife, the wooden door was broken, and the wooden knife was directly cut on the toilet lid, and the toilet was also torn apart, and the scum of the ceramic was scattered everywhere.

Also torn apart under the knife was a stone statue, which had been smashed by the knife to reveal the space behind the door, but had not yet touched the statue placed on the toilet lid, and at that momentary glance, the poplar saw that it had a slender neck, bat wings, horns on its head, strong arms, and long, sharp claws.

This compartment was used by Rachel before.

After some searching, Poplar also found nothing, and came to the door of the third compartment, which was the compartment used by Anyi.

Again, having learned the lesson of the last time, in order to avoid shattering the items present inside the compartment, Poplar decides to use an energy blast to open the door from a distance.

Standing about 2 meters away from the wooden door, Poplar imagined the flight trajectory of the magic power in his mind, then concentrated his attention, mobilized the native magic power, and knocked it out from the palm of his right hand, and a cloud of black energy mixed with silver brilliance rushed out and rushed towards the door of the third compartment.

"Ultra Missile!" he casually called out the name of the move.

Medium 2 +20

However, Yang Shu forgot one thing, he was activating the [α-Power of Faith] at the moment, and the energy impact was under the blessing of the power of faith, and the lethality was far greater than before, and he suddenly knocked through the wooden door, and the castration continued, and the toilet was shattered again.

"Ahh

"The monster in the third compartment is a ghost, right? Poplar looked at his right hand, said helplessly, and walked into the third compartment.

Not surprisingly, the poplars still have nothing to gain, except for toilets, garbage cans, toilet paper, and nothing.

"What is the meaning of this space?" Poplar, who originally thought he had mastered the truth, fell into confusion.

Shaking his head and clearing the distractions in his heart, Poplar came to the door of the fourth compartment again, this time he didn't play tricks, he reached out and pushed the door open.

The moment he pushed open the door, Yang Shu suddenly felt a sense of darkness, as if at this moment, the goddess of doom was watching him.

He understood that the negative effects of [Pseudo-Fate] had been activated at this moment.

The door opened, and the light inside was much dimmer than the outside, and the poplar stepped into it, unattacked and without anything special, except for a cloud of light.

A BLACK GLOW FLOATS ABOUT 20CM ABOVE THE TOILET SEAT.

In fact, the poplar was not sure whether it was a black light or a dark cloud that swallowed the light, because it was like the sun, sending light into the surroundings, but the light made the environment darker than brighter.

He reached out and grabbed the black ball of light, his palm closed, and he felt a coolness, but he couldn't catch anything, and he couldn't stop the black light from spreading outward.

"Is this?" Poplar circled, looking at the black ball of light, "the fallen Lord God Space?"

Medium two +30

Then, he used all the abilities at his disposal to test the nature of the ball of light, but received almost no feedback, and the only thing he gained was that it could absorb supernatural energy and use it to increase its size.

The search was fruitless, and Poplar finally came to the fifth compartment, where he had fought for a long time and sacrificed his urinary health for it.

He opened the door with ease and stepped into the cubicle, which, like the previous cubicles, was lit by something on the toilet lid that reflected the light, just in his face.

It was a huge ruby, and the gemstone had been cut into a perfect tetrahedron, each side as bright as a mirror.

Next to the gemstone, there is a key, all golden and inlaid with various colored gemstones, extremely luxurious.
