[The elevator shook slightly, and Tang Juyi gradually woke up]

The familiar narration voice appeared, which made Tang Juyi, who was still a little drowsy, come back to his senses immediately.

[He looks around a little dazedly, then his eyes look at the number above the elevator]

"What's ......?"

While muttering to himself in his heart, Tang Juyi looked at the numbers lit up on the elevator as the narrator said.

After being hit in the head by "Ma Sang Anshi" with that distorted face, Tang Juyi found that he had returned to the elevator - the one controlled by the narrator.

Previously, he entered that dream after choosing the "3" floor, met Chizuma, and then woke up in another reality, and then experienced a series of events, including negotiations with Ryo Kato, Hellevator, etc......

But now, his memory of how he returned to the original elevator is blank.

Tang Juyi didn't know what happened in the process, everything seemed to be just a momentary thing.

The flashing "4" on the elevator indicates the floor that Tang Juyi is currently heading to.

"When did I press 4? I don't remember having this experience......"

Rubbing his temples, Tang Juyi tried to recall what happened in the middle, but the memory was forever interrupted at the point where he was in close contact with "Ma Sang Anshi" face to face.

————————

Note that the Soul Chips of the Transcendent (Tang Juyi) have been used, and the remaining amount is 0

————————

A sudden prompt interrupted Tang Juyi's train of thought, and at the same time made him fall into a strong shock.

"What?! The soul chips have already been used?! Already took the place of a life? ”

A bone-chilling chill surged into Tang Juyi's heart, making his mood instantly become extremely heavy.

He had no memory, he didn't know what had happened to him, and why he had used this soul chip.

"The loss of soul chips means that I have just survived a mortal plot...... In other words, the contact with that 'Ma Sang Anshi' is very likely to be the cause of my death. ”

Holding back the horror in his heart, Tang Juyi tried to analyze the previous question:

"It shouldn't be...... Did I make a mistake? He moved so slowly, it was clear that he wanted me to interact...... If there is any extreme danger, it shouldn't just come up and trigger the battle situation, right? ”

In the previous corridor, Tang Juyi judged it to be safe because he felt that the behavior of "Ma Sang Anshi" was more inclined to an interactive plot that could be triggered, and there was a strange elevator behind him that might take him directly to hell, so he judged it to be safe and went up to try it himself.

According to the previous rules, this kind of unprompted scene should not be a nirvana situation, but this experience obviously exceeded Tang Juyi's expectations, and made him suffer heavy losses, directly losing the key life-saving props.

Recalling a few hints when he first started the mission of "Dark Zhiju", Tang Juyi's face began to darken little by little:

"Not really...... Where has this been going, has there already been such a plot event that violates the laws of extradimensionality? There is no hint or any basis, it just kills me at the touch of it, and forcibly consumes my life......"

If it weren't for the fact that the presence of narration restricts speech movements, Tang Juyi would even want to spit a mouthful of thick phlegm directly on the ground, and greet all blood relatives in the extradimensional dimension by the way.

This mistake can be said to be extremely fatal. Even if it was the alien elevator where dreams and reality were intertwined, Tang Juyi found a way to survive as a breakthrough, but he didn't expect that he would directly hit the muzzle of the gun after that.

"Trouble, trouble...... The truth quest is not even halfway through the soul chips...... If there are other similar situations after that, it really depends on luck......"

He slapped his thigh in annoyance, and Tang Juyi also realized that his previous judgment was somewhat reckless. Because he was too accustomed to the previous mission mode, he was defenseless against this situation that implied a death-defying plot.

With a long sigh, Tang Juyi quickly calmed down his mood, and began to analyze it again with a calm mind:

"It's come to this, and it's useless to be upset, we still have to find some clues from the few memories that remain......"

Subsequently, Tang Juyi began to sort out the disconnected memory nodes:

"I want to think about it...... Since the memory is interrupted after contact with the 'Masang Anshi', there are two situations. First, as soon as the contact occurred, I died directly, so I consumed the soul chips. Second, after the contact, I experienced other things, but then I was invaded by a dream and was invaded by something, and in that case, Chizuki chose to shoot. ”

Frowning slightly, Tang Juyi remembered his physical state when he just woke up:

"The brain tingles and the consciousness is drowsy...... If the possibility of a side effect of soul chip substitution is ruled out, it can only be because I have suffered a spiritual invasion. After being invaded, I lost that part of my memory, or I couldn't keep my mind at all when I was invaded, so I had no memory to speak of. ”

"So, when Chizuki realized that something was wrong, she immediately shot me as I said earlier...... Well, it's good that I thought of this at the time, otherwise if I had been in a state of mental invasion, I might not have been judged to be dead, but would have stayed in that feeling of a collapse of my sanity......"

Thinking of this, Tang Juyi was not only afraid for a while.

Indeed, as he would think, after the spirit was invaded and controlled, he did not die in the strict sense, but fell into a state similar to "mental breakdown", or madness. And if it's just madness, then it can't trigger the use of soul chips at all.

In this way, if Tang Juyi does not die completely, he will be trapped in a chaotic spirit for a day, tormented by all kinds of chaotic and broken thoughts and nightmares.

That kind of torture may last for years or even decades. It was not until Tang Juyi's physical functions gradually aged and finally completely lost that he would be judged to be dead at that time.

Decades of torture are chilling just to think about.

On the other hand, after a few years or decades have passed, it is not known what the situation of the world on the third floor will evolve into, and perhaps the dream invasion will spread all over the world, making the situation irreparable and the mission difficult to carry out.

Fortunately, Tang Juyi had considered this possibility before he went to contact Masang Anshi, so he directly saved the situation by the hand of Qiantangmu, so as not to let himself fall into a too passive situation.

"Since Chizuki shot me, he should know that he is going to run away if he has a normal IQ...... With his previous experience with the Hellevator, he might choose to descend the stairs, and it stands to reason that escaping this building shouldn't be a problem, unless that 'Ma Sang Anshi' is strong enough to control the entire building. ”

probably guessed the whereabouts of the thousand orange trees, and Tang Juyi was also a little relieved:

"Still a mistake...... This world cannot be analyzed as a normal dimensional world...... But it's not too bad. If there is a chance to return to that world, we may be able to turn the tide of things. ”

The process of these analyses is short-lived, and in reality it is only a matter of a few seconds of mental activity.

And inside the elevator, the narration sounded again:

[When I arrived on the 4th floor, I was exposed to the corridor where the portrait was hung. As you can see, the mutilated painting is still hanging on the wall in good shape, unchanged.]

Tang Juyi looked up and looked ahead, and sure enough, it was the familiar corridor.

"This is the 4th floor? Back again? ”
