Volume 1: The Inside and Outside of the World 092 The World of Circulation

Poplar stepped into the men's toilet, looked around, and found that the space he was in was very different from before—it was the original appearance of the ordinary men's toilet, the space did not expand or shrink, and the walls did not have those red lines, except for one point, there was no sunlight shining in from the ventilation window, but it was pitch black.

But he didn't find Mo Qiushui's figure either, the surroundings were quiet, if it was an ordinary person here, he might be scared, but Yang Shu only felt a deep sense of powerlessness when he saw this scene appear again and again.

"Even a beautiful girl should be aesthetically tired when she sees it so many times, not to mention this stinky men's toilet. He complained, his frustration palpable.

But he did not slack off in his actions, meticulously searching every corner of the toilet, and soon, he had searched all but five cubicles, and he found nothing as expected.

He turned his gaze to the cubicle and felt a rush of urine over him, a familiar sight that made him frown.

"How is this sense of déjà vu so similar to when I first tried to enter another dimension?" he opened the door to the fifth compartment nearby, stepped in, and took off his pants, aimed, fired, put on his pants, flushed, and pushed the door away.

After his hand was on the doorknob, he remembered the crossing event that had taken eleven attempts to trigger a 10% success rate, and wondered, "If I had succeeded the first time, wouldn't it have been so much trouble?" ”

He then twisted the doorknob.

The moment he pushed the door open, he froze, and the situation outside the door was far beyond his expectations.

In front of me was a long, dark walkway, with flickering lights, damp and moldy walls, all exactly like the Xenodimensional space with a reddish-brown wooden door at the end.

"Am I back?" Poplar whispered in disbelief, reaching into the pocket where the ruby and key were kept.

Luckily, both Ruby and Key were still sitting quietly in his pocket, at least proving that what he had experienced before was not a dream.

He stepped out of the toilet cubicle and looked down the aisle to the left and right.

As before, his vision was severely blocked, and he could only see five or six cubicles next to him, and the aisle farther away was vaguely uncertain in the darkness, and he couldn't see the end of the road at all.

He tried some of the magic items he had at hand again, and found that the spatial beacon was working normally, and a red dot was clearly visible on the map, indicating his location, but the marks of the others were missing.

In addition, Yang Shu used the coordinate marking function when he first entered the different dimension, leaving a yellow dot mark at the initial compartment position, which can also be seen at this time, which to a certain extent indicates that he entered the same different dimension space these two times, but the contact function is still unusable, and he can't get in touch with Chu Qiu or Mo Qiushui, so he can only fight alone.

Although there is a high probability that he has returned to the original alien dimension, the current situation is so strange that he does not dare to jump to conclusions, and still mentions twelve points of caution.

"Assuming that this space is the one I first entered, according to the information on the data, I only need to stay in the initial compartment for an hour and open the door again to return to the real world, and my safety is not a problem" He seriously considered his next action, "But Mo Qiushui has not been found yet, and I don't know if he is in danger, so I should confirm his situation as much as possible while ensuring my own safety, right?"

Suddenly, he remembered what Chu Qiu had said to him before he carried out the mission.

"Although our mission is to protect the members of the investigation team, our first priority is to ensure our own personal safety and not to think of sacrificing ourselves for the sake of others. ”

"Once born and twice cooked," he pretended to smile lightly, and said to himself, "Where is there any danger in coming to a place where you have been here once." ”

With that, he walked down the aisle to the right, though he didn't know how to get to the reddish-brown door when there was only one person, how to deal with the sense of disobedience that might arise, and how to face the monsters in the chamber that might appear.

He moved as fast as he could, passing by one compartment after another, darkness in front of him and behind him, the lights along the way seemed to come on only when he approached, and as soon as he passed, the lights went out and the world fell into darkness and silence.

Thankfully, the sense of disobedience that had plagued everyone for a long time did not appear, but the narrower vision and dilapidated environment created some difficulties for his process.

He silently mentally recorded the number of passes through the compartment, 10, 20, 30······ The numbers grew rapidly as he progressed, soon reaching 60.

He slowed down, finding that his clothes were completely wet with sweat, and he was not without pressure along the way, but he always raised his attention, observing the changes in the surrounding environment, and the slightest movement could provoke his tense nerves.

He breathed a sigh of relief, for in front of him, four cubicles away, a familiar reddish-brown wooden door appeared in his field of vision.

Soon he walked to the front of the wooden door, he did not rush to open the door, but took out a small scanner, aimed at the doorknob, pressed the trigger, a red light swept, and several fingerprints appeared on the display of the scanner, and at the same time matched the identity information.

The scanner he took out was a fingerprint extractor produced by the Federation's scientific research institute, which could quickly extract fingerprints on the surface of the body and automatically match the person's information in the Federation's database.

There are a total of five people's fingerprints on the doorknob, namely Chu Qiu, An Yi, Rachel, Mo Qiushui, and Yang Shu.

"So, is this the same door we saw before?" he was suspicious, a little incredulous.

He put away the fingerprint extractor, did not rush to open the door, but stood at the door for a short rest, adjusted his breathing and heart rate, and took out a few magic potions and pills to restore his original magic and spiritual power.

So far, the medicines for recovery and healing provided by the Federation have basically been exhausted, and the last few pills he has just taken are gone.

After a while, his state was basically restored, but the previous activation of [α Faith Power] had overdrawn his willpower and made him feel tired.

His right hand rested firmly on the handle, and his wrist twisted slowly to push the door open.

Outside the door, there are white brick and gray walls, and it is dark outside the breathable window.

Outside the door, there was still the same ordinary men's toilet.

"Goo-dong" Poplar swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the movements of his hands stagnated, as if it needed time to digest this unacceptable fact.

Time passed slowly, a minute or two, I don't know, in this environment with no reference at all, he didn't know how long time had passed.

He breathed heavily, grabbed his hair in his right hand, and walked out of the cubicle, walking back and forth in the empty clearing, conducting another pointless search.

The sink outside the men's toilet was completely shrouded in black fog and could not be passed, except for the fifth compartment, the rest of the cubicles were similarly devoid of anything of value, only toilets, paper rolls, and garbage baskets.

Poplar finished the search, returned to the fifth compartment, sat down on the toilet seat, and held his head in his hands, looking a little depressed.

"It shouldn't be, why is it ······ like this?" He vaguely muttered something, "It's all the world's fault." ”

Medium 2 +50

However, this state did not last long, and he quickly calmed down and activated [Ice Heart] for a while to calm down his slightly out-of-control emotions.

He gathered his thoughts and pulled the ruby and key out of his pocket.

For some reason, since he went to the toilet and opened the door and returned to that dimension, the ruby and the key fell silent, the color of the gem became dull, and the skull on the key became dull, just like ordinary objects, completely unrecognizable from the previous mystery.

After some attempts, he gave up on the idea of finding a breakthrough from gems or keys, for the simple reason that he tried his best and got no response.

"Then, there is only one last possibility except to enter the black fog. ”

He got up, opened the toilet lid, mobilized the original magic to promote the activity of the urinary system, and soon a rush of urine hit, and he then completed a complete series of excretory activities with great skill, and then, pushed the door out.

"Oh, that's exactly what I expected. He looked at the situation in front of him and let out a wry smile, "Men's bathroom, your emperor is back." ”

Medium 2 +50

The damp and moldy walls, the flickering lights, and the dilapidated and dirty floor all indicate that he is back in that dimension.

He turned on the space beacon and confirmed his location, the same compartment and the same spatial coordinates as the last time.

"Well, just one time doesn't mean anything, so let's try to find that door first. He thought as he stepped out of the cubicle and headed for the aisle to the left.

This time, in order to save his mental energy, he did not pay too much attention to his surroundings, and soon came to the end of the aisle, the reddish-brown wooden door, which entered his field of vision for the third time.

"It's not good, I feel like the plot will repeat itself. He muttered to himself as he took out his fingerprint scanner.

Medium two +30

The result of the fingerprint scan was the same, there were the fingerprints of the whole team of five people, the difference was that there were a few more poplar fingerprints.

Seeing this unexpected and unreasonable result, Poplar was silent, and stood in front of the wooden door for a long time.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so let's go. Finally, he mustered up the courage and, once again, pushed the door open.
