Chapter 282, Back to Reality
We don't know how long we've been in this nightmare world.
It is dark here, there is no sun, there is no rise in the east and setting in the west, there is no cold and summer, and it is natural that you cannot perceive the passage of time.
In this, you may feel like you've been there for a long, long time, but it's only been a few days.
Or maybe you think you've only been around for a few days, but it's been a few months.
It's like going to school and reading, when you are studying, you always feel that the time is very long and difficult, and you are always looking forward to the holiday.
However, when it came time to the holiday, I found that the time was not enough at all, and a few days of vacation passed in a flash.
Maybe it's just a sleep, a meal, and then a play on your phone, and before you know it, the day of vacation is gone.
Reading and vacation, are the same time, but it gives people a different feeling, a day of reading, it feels like a long, long time, but a day off, like a blink of an eye.
We now have a similar confusion, sometimes it feels like time flies slowly, and sometimes it flies quickly.
So whether it's fast or slow, even we can't tell the difference.
It's just that along the way, we have overcome too many obstacles and experienced too much, and in this nightmare world, conservatively estimated, we have stayed for at least half a year.
Although the time in the nightmare world is not equal to the time in the real world, the time we spend in the nightmare world is real, and there is nothing false in every minute.
Looking back, along the way, we have experienced many dangers, and I have fallen into desperate situations many times, if it were not for adventures, I don't know how many times I have died, how can I have the ability to get to this point.
Maybe at the beginning, in this nightmare world, you can rely on a certain IQ to survive for a while, but later on, the role that IQ can play becomes smaller and smaller.
Because no matter what you encounter, you need a certain strength base.
This is a world where only the strong can survive, and if the weak want to survive, they must rely on the strong.
The simplest example is the labyrinth of steel that we are experiencing now.
The danger is not enough for outsiders, and no one who has experienced it can never imagine what is hidden in this steel labyrinth.
It's not so much a steel labyrinth as nine relatively independent small worlds.
And in these small worlds, there is danger everywhere.
From the moving maze on the first layer, to the Rubik's Cube maze on the second layer, and the Fengshen Mountain World on the third layer, then on the fourth layer of the Iceberg Hell, the fifth layer of the Volcanic Hell, the sixth layer of the Knife Mountain Hell, the seventh layer of the Oil Pot Hell, and the eighth layer of the mirror world.
Each of these layers corresponds to a great test, and in this great test, there are many dangers in itself.
It is not easy to deal with these dangerous things, and it is still necessary to complete the test and reach a higher level.
Without a certain strength, it simply can't be done.
And the higher you climb, the stronger the strength you need, in which wisdom can only play a certain auxiliary role, and may not make the incident worse, but it will definitely not get us out of danger.
Because from the third layer of the steel labyrinth, the requirements for force value are particularly obvious.
If I don't have the strength, then I can't enter the ancient temple, I can't enter the ancient temple, and naturally I won't be able to meet the zombie boss and get the zombie blood hidden in the sea of blood.
If it weren't for the zombie bloodline, I would have died in the siege of many spirits and yin gods.
After that, because of the picture scroll, I concluded a bit of fate with the zombie boss, and it was because of this fate that I got the source blood of the drought fish, and my strength was improved hundreds of times again, and I completed a qualitative leap.
During this period, everything we have experienced requires not only strength, but also opportunities and luck.
These factors are indispensable.
It is the combination of various elements that makes me so powerful today.
I had the ability to let me take our entire team, starting from the third floor, rushing directly to the ninth floor.
Sometimes, in retrospect, our experience seems to be just a dream, a fantastical dream.
Looking at the huge whirlpool spreading overhead, I relaxed and let the suction pull me up, and I was little by little swept into the whirlpool.
Soon, chaos reigned around.
My consciousness also became blurred.
At this moment, I am like a lonely boat, floating and swinging in the sea, without a goal, without any place I want to go, just floating in the middle of the sea.
I relaxed, I didn't think about anything, my mind went blank, and my consciousness went into an ethereal state.
I could feel myself swimming, and I could feel the energy around me.
This vortex, like a teleportation tunnel, is transporting a group of us to another world.
Maybe hell, maybe heaven.
No one knows where the destination is, when it will arrive, and no one knows, everyone can only keep drifting along the teleportation tunnel.
It was a half-dreamy feeling, I could feel some subtle changes around me, but I didn't want to open my eyes to see, I didn't want to observe my surroundings, I just wanted to lie quietly and rest well.
In this wonderful feeling, I don't know how long it has been, maybe a minute, maybe a hundred years.
When my body began to stop fluttering, and the calm breath in my heart gradually disappeared, I finally opened my eyes slowly.
The first thing I saw was a familiar and beautiful face.
The owner of this face has an angel face, a devil figure, a good family background, and a very good academic performance, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a girl with no shortcomings and is almost perfect.
"Sakura ......"
The moment I saw each other, I couldn't help but smile.
Just as I was about to call her, I suddenly noticed that the environment in front of me was somewhat familiar.
I suddenly looked up and looked around, only to realize that I was back in the classroom.
At this moment, there are more than a dozen people sitting scattered in the classroom, everyone is sleeping on the desk, including Tang Yuying, Song Qian, Wang Gang, Liu Meng, Liu Yun, Luo Tian, and even Li Tian, Zhang Liang, Chen Hui and others.
It's all familiar faces.
Everyone seemed to be in a semi-comatose state, and I was the only one who woke up first.
The classroom was lit with incandescent lights, but outside the classroom was dim, with only a few lights visible in the distance.
Although the whole school building is relatively quiet, with my extraordinary perception, I can clearly see that there are people in every classroom in the school building.
Among them, there are those who know, there are those who don't, there are teachers, and there are students.
Except for our class, the rest of the classes seemed to be doing normal work, all of them were studying at night, some chatting quietly, some playing with their mobile phones to read novels, some eating and chewing betel nut, and some laughing and playing.
In some classes, there are still teachers supervising them, but according to the previous state, the teacher's time for evening self-study is more just used to mark the test papers.
Everything seems so normal.
But the question is, aren't we breaking through the ninth floor, and why are we suddenly in the classroom?
Is all I see in front of me just an illusion?
I looked at my hands, and then I clenched my fists violently, and the surging power suddenly burst out, and I didn't control it properly, and the tables and chairs under me were suddenly torn apart by the impact.
The power is still there, the perception is still there, and it doesn't seem to be an illusion.
And with my current abilities, with my present eyes, there is no illusion that can deceive me.
Since it's not a hallucination, how can we suddenly appear in the classroom?
Could it be that we have made it through and walked out of the nightmare world?
Or is there only eight levels of testing in the steel labyrinth, and the ninth layer is the exit to the real world?
It's not impossible, but it doesn't convince me in the first place.
As for the appearance of Li Tian, Zhang Liang and others, it has no impact on me.
We have already experienced it before, one person clears the customs, and all the living students also clear the customs.
If the ninth layer is really an exit, then it is not unusual for Zhang Liang, Li Tian and others to follow through the customs.
If I had seen Zhang Liang and Li Tian appear before, I might have some murderous intentions, and I would have killed them while they were unconscious, and then dealt with them quickly.
After all, the grudge between the two of them and me has long been an endless situation, and there is no way to resolve it.
Since there is no way to resolve it, there must be a life-and-death struggle.
It's just that now, with the blood of the drought, I don't pay attention to them at all.
As long as I open my eyes and look closely, I can see the two of them from head to toe, thoroughly, how strong the two are, what abilities they have, what means they have, all of them can't escape my eyes.
Needless to say, Zhang Liang's biggest means is to control the shadow killer.
Although some other others were acquired later, they were nothing compared to the Shadow Slayer.
And Li Tian is more mysterious.
To be precise, at this moment, he can no longer be regarded as a human being.
Because I found that there was a very powerful soul lurking in him.
This soul is not a ghost or a god, but a very special existence, but if you really want to talk about it, it is not half a point worse than a ghost or god.
I estimate that it is precisely because of the existence of this powerful soul that Li Tian is like a different person, not only is he much smarter, but his scheming and means are far beyond the reach of others.
This is not far from my previous speculation, Li Tian's change is too abrupt, it must be because of the interference of external forces, and this external force is the soul hidden in his body.
One body and two souls, and they can still live in peace, there are indeed a bit of monsters.
In addition to the powerful soul in his body, Li Tian's physical fitness is also very strong, especially those eyes, which can not only see through illusions, but also have the ability to make people fall into illusions.
This special ability is naturally related to the soul in his body.
With two souls in one, its spiritual power has reached a very terrifying situation.
I can see that the soul in Li Tian's body has not yet fully awakened, which means that Li Tian still has some hidden innate abilities that cannot be used for the time being.
Once the soul is completely awakened, Li Tian's strength will rise to another level at that time.
Compared with Zhang Liang and others, Li Tian is indeed a lot stronger, but that's all.
Whether it's his abilities, or the soul inside him, I don't care.
I have become stronger, and my mentality has changed a lot.
The previous crisis, the perceived potential threat, is nothing to me at the moment.
Neither Zhang Liang nor Li Tian can pose the slightest threat to me.
It is no exaggeration to say that the two of them in front of me are like an ant and an insect, there is no difference, and they can be trampled to death with one foot.
There may have been some grievances before, but now that my heart has changed, I can see it, who will be idle and have nothing to worry about with an ant?
Looking at the empty classroom, I inevitably felt a little depressed in my heart.
The huge classroom was full of people, but only a dozen people were still alive at the moment, and my friends and I accounted for almost half of them.
No matter what happened before, at the end of the day, we are all victims.
Internal and external troubles, smart people will naturally solve external troubles first.
Only when the external troubles cannot be solved, will the internal worries be touched.
Death is an external trouble, and the contradiction between us is an internal worry.
Now that the strength has increased greatly and is no longer at the mercy of others, then it is time to solve the external troubles.
Everyone was still unconscious, and Tang Yuying and the others were sleeping quietly.
At this time, I didn't bother them.
In the nightmare world, we have never had a good night's sleep, and we are worried all day long, and now that we finally come out alive, it is time to rest.
As before, our class was still in a state of ignoring the question, as if all the teachers and students in the school were treating our class as air.
Among them, it is naturally the power of death that is at work.
I walked out of the classroom and looked up at the sky, the night sky was clear, but there was a big dark cloud over our school.
As long as you are in the school, you are affected by this dark cloud.
And the essence of this dark cloud is all filthy and evil.
On the street far from the school, there was no prosperity in the traffic, and even the students of other classes in the school were laughing and having a good time.
What had happened to them at school was as if it had never happened to them.
I didn't disturb the tranquility of the school, but with a slight step, I jumped straight from the fourth floor and landed on the lawn of the school.
I have already sensed that in the vicinity of the school, there is no particularly powerful presence, that is, the Grim Reaper is not inside the school right now.
In fact, the Grim Reaper doesn't need to stay here all the time, the dark cloud over the school is the source of the curse's power, and any wisp of breath can easily crush a person to death.
After leaving school, I began to wander around aimlessly.
But my perception is always hovering near the school, and as long as the Grim Reaper dares to appear, I will rush to the school as soon as possible.
Swinging around, I unknowingly, I actually walked into a familiar restaurant.
I've been to this restaurant, which was opened by Tang Yuying's brother Tang Dynasty.
The restaurant is very luxurious, the business in this point is not bad, the key consumption is high enough, and I don't dare to come in without a little background.
It's been a long time since I've eaten in the real world, and suddenly I miss it a little.
So, without a penny in my pocket, I walked straight in, set up a private room, and ordered a bunch of dishes randomly.
It doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's important to be expensive!
The restaurant opened by my brother-in-law doesn't eat for nothing.
As I sat and waited for the food to be served, I was constantly aware of my surroundings.
Soon I found out that in our real world, it is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
In the past, as an ordinary person, I didn't have contact with the other side of the world, so I always felt that the world was only as simple as we looked on the surface.
But if the real situation is exposed, it will refresh everyone's three views.
Can you believe that in the streets with all kinds of neon lights, there will be all kinds of demons and monsters?
Some are dressed up in a fancy way, some are dressed in a decent way, but on the surface, they are exactly the same as ordinary people.
But in their bodies, there is a demonic aura.
Although this aura is weak and light, it is enough to distinguish them from ordinary people.
Although it is not said that there are many demons and monsters all over the street, in my perception range, there are at least dozens.
There are two powerful beings among them, and they have even reached the level of Yin God.
In the world of ordinary people, this is definitely a power that can control life and death.
If you accidentally get the other person right, you won't know how to die even if you're afraid of death.
Just as I was wandering out of the world, the door of the box was suddenly opened, and I didn't have to look at it to know who it was, my brother-in-law.
"You're finally here......"
The brother-in-law is still handsome in a suit and leather shoes, and he is in his early thirties, he is a young mature man, who scares seventeen-year-old girls, and young women in their thirties and forties, all like him.
My brother-in-law was not polite, he sat down directly opposite me after entering the door, and was just about to open his mouth to ask, when he saw my appearance, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "When you come back from that world, you seem to have changed a lot?"
"You're also powerful, hidden deeply. ”
I took a sip of tea with a smile: "It looks inconspicuous and not leaky, but I didn't expect it to be a ghost." ”
Hearing this, Tang Chao's face couldn't help but change slightly: "You...... How do you see that?"
"No need to make a fuss, I'm not a human being now, and the essence of this world is more transparent than you can see. ”
My expression was flat, "In this city, with your identity and ability, why can't you even protect your own sister?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Chaoyi frowned.
I pursed my lips: "You are a ghost, naturally you have a sharper sense of smell than ordinary people, when the death game appears, don't you notice it at all?"
Seeing that Tang Chao frowned and was silent, I spoke again: "You know the history of our school, Yu Ying has a lot of news about the death game, and you also gave it, you dare to say that you don't know anything about the god of death......? It's so fresh!"
After thinking about it for a long time, I only came up with such an adjective.
