Chapter 91

While waiting for the godless realm to dissipate, 0002 awakened the good side of the warden.

Of course, they were not so kind as to rescue the warden. They originally wanted to use the warden's ability to break the godless realm. After all, the warden was the ruler of this island and might also have rule-based skills (0006 guessed). However, after rescuing the person, the result was not ideal.

The warden had been in the mine for ten years and his mental state was severely damaged. Even when he woke up, he was in an unclear state. He would only stare blankly at a certain point in the void, and occasionally utter a few meaningless crazy words.

But the good news is that as the warden woke up, the power that enveloped the island dissipated.

Now they take off without having to worry about hitting the border.

The only thing to do next is to wait for 0000 to come out.

At the beginning, everyone was chatting sporadically with each other for a few words, but they became more and more silent as time went on. They stared at the golden cover motionlessly, wondering which 0000 would come out.

Time passed by minute by minute, and when sporadic raindrops floated in the air, the godless realm finally showed signs of collapse.

A tall and slender figure appeared in the golden light curtain and walked out slowly.

It was 0000 wearing prisoner clothes, but his black hair, which originally only reached his neck, now reached his waist.

His long hair was damp from the rain, a few strands sticking to his face. His amber eyes were calm, his weakness and paleness gone. Hidden beneath his hair, his expression was unclear. Amidst the countless glances from the crowd, he said calmly, "It's over. Let's go."

When the unconscious warden saw him, his cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed at him with trembling fingers, uttering unclear syllables in his throat.

"Yellow"

"Take the warden with you," Cen Xun said, his eyes widening as he glanced at the warden. "It's good he's awake. I have something else to ask him."

Unable to discern the difference from the tone of voice, 0001 stared at him intently: "Which 0000 are you?"

Cen Xun looked back at him, his tone calm: "Good face."

"How do you prove it?"

"Are you sure you want me to prove it now?" Cen Xun looked up at the sky, narrowed his eyes meaningfully, and said, "It doesn't seem like the right time."

0006 didn't know what he saw, but suddenly he cried out "Damn!" and his expression changed drastically: "We fought too hard just now, we were discovered by the [Natural Disaster]!"

0024 was confused: "Who is the natural disaster?"

0006 said anxiously, "It's a strange monster that can cause tsunamis and sea storms. There's no time to explain! Hurry, hurry, get on the plane! Run away!"

0001 looked at Cen Xun deeply, made a decision, and turned to head towards the parked bomber.

The ten-man escape team, now with the addition of a warden, a total of eleven people, forced their way into the bomber.

Fortunately, 0003 could also fly a bomber, so 0006, the half-baked know-it-all, was able to leave the co-pilot position and take over the position of navigator. 0096 sat in the radar navigator's position. The crew member in this position also served as a bombardier, which was a perfect match for their profession.

0002 is a fragile nanny and needs special protection, so Cen Xun and 0002 sit in the two positions that operate the defense equipment respectively.

In order to save space, the remaining five people entered the mirror space of 0113. 0024 temporarily used his skills to pinch out a metal frame on the fuselage and embedded the mirror into it. This not only prevented the possibility of the mirror falling off, but also made it easier for the person in the mirror to continue talking to the outside world.

As 0001 and 0003 took off in their bomber, 0006 briefly explained to them what they might encounter next.

"[Natural Disaster] can strike the enemy from three directions: sea, land, and air. Now that she has discovered us, she will definitely use any means to defeat us. The severe weather disasters she creates include but are not limited to thunderstorms, sea storms, and blizzards."

"Do you two have any experience driving in bad weather?"

0001 held the joystick and said calmly without turning his head, "Just fasten your seat belts."

When the rain suddenly turned heavier, the bomber they were on rushed into the runway and took off bravely against the hurricane.

The white mist of the Lost Island dissipated, and the sky above the Posa Sea was covered with dark clouds. From time to time, crisscrossing lightning flashed in the thick clouds. The entire Posa Sea was like a pot of boiling water. The surging waves fiercely pounced on the bomber flying high in the sky like a captive bird, but due to its rapidly rising altitude, it fell down unwillingly.

It was a hellish scene. In the face of the mighty power of nature, a small bomber seemed so insignificant.

0003 murmured, "Damn, I'm having such an exciting time right after getting out of prison?"

Then, he watched as something even more exciting emerged.

Dozens of sea tornadoes appeared in the distant sea! Their massive size, reaching from the sky to the earth, was enough to fill anyone who witnessed them with fear.

0003's eyes were filled with tears, his hand gripping the joystick trembling slightly. "How could a small fish like me deserve to be attacked by ten tornadoes like that?"

0006 rolled his eyes: "Of course you don't deserve it, they're mainly targeting my brother!"

Cen Xun, who was called out, suddenly spoke up: "Tong Ming, can you see the real-time location of the [Natural Disaster] main body?"

0006 was slightly taken aback, then immediately replied, "Sure! What's wrong?"

"This won't work," Cen Xun stated. "Natural Disaster possesses the ultimate advantage in naval warfare, while we're at a significant disadvantage. If we don't find a way to mitigate her advantage, it's only a matter of time before we're defeated."

Tong Ming was puzzled: "But even if I can see where her true form is, what can we do?"

He suddenly realized something and looked at 0096 beside him: "You can make weapons, right? Can you make missiles by hand?"

0096 was confused and answered subconsciously: "Of course, it can be done, but it must have a carrier that can launch missiles, such as a bomber?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Tong Ming said three "Okays" in a row. "I'll give you the exact location. You fire the missile at her and blow her up into the sky. Can you do it?"

0096 started operating the panel: "Okay, report the location."

Cen Xun added slowly from behind, "It would be better to add some special metals."

0024 pressed his face against the mirror and made an "OK" gesture. "Don't worry, the missiles in the base contain special metals. They're enough to give that natural disaster a good beating."

Lock position, launch

0096 had just launched a missile when he heard Tong Ming excitedly say, "Don't be stingy, launch a few more! After all, you can rub missiles with your hands, which is equivalent to having unlimited ammunition. What are you afraid of?"

0096 muttered, "It's not infinite. Once the power is exhausted, it's gone. Oh, forget it!"

Just close your eyes and do it!

0096 frantically fired the missiles in the bomber, and built new ones when one was used up. When the tenth missile was launched, the dozen or so super tornadoes in front suddenly collapsed.

Tong Ming reported the latest situation of [Natural Disaster] in real time: "Look, this woman is called [Natural Disaster]. At this moment, she is extremely disdainful of the missile flying towards her, and boldly prepares to catch the missile with her bare hands. But the moment the missile explodes right at her face, she knows what a wrong decision she made!"

"[Natural Scourge] was blown 15.6 meters into the air, like a butterfly with broken wings! She didn't have time to react before the next few missiles arrived, leaving her no time to think."

"This woman finally got it! It turns out the real danger wasn't the missiles, but the human heart! Stunned by the explosion, [Natural Disaster] had no intention of continuing to control the tornado. Instead, she furiously launched her revenge plan against the remaining missiles. She..."

Tong Ming was horrified: "She threw the missile back!!"

The radar issued a rapid alarm sound. 0001 took a quick glance, pulled the stick to roll, and at the same time fully extended the vertical tail, making a perfect barrel roll maneuver and easily getting rid of the flying missile.

0003 praised: "Brother 01, your technique is pretty good."

The corners of 0001's lips curled up slightly, but after staring at the radar for a moment, they quickly straightened back to a serious expression as he made a judgment: "I need to get out of the thunderstorm as quickly as possible. I might get struck by lightning while doing this, so hold on tight."

They crashed headfirst into an area covered with thunderclouds, and the entire fuselage began to shake continuously. During this time, a bolt of lightning struck the fuselage, and a dazzling white light appeared in front of the windshield.

The alarms of various instruments sounded one after another. Co-pilot 0003 followed 0001's instructions, pressed the button to start the inspection, and the others held the armrests tightly, waiting for the turbulence to pass.

0002 was so frightened that his face turned pale. He subconsciously looked at Cen Xun beside him, but saw that Cen Xun was supporting his face with one hand, looking down at the feather necklace in his palm, as if he didn't care about the current dangerous situation.

There was only one black feather left on the feather necklace, which was carelessly kneaded by slender white fingers, making it slightly fluffy.

Although it was inappropriate, the first thought that crossed 0002's mind when he saw this picture was, 0000, this is too beautiful!

For the first time, 0002 was at a loss for words. Apart from beautiful, he seemed to find no other words to describe 0000. If 0000 with short hair was still somewhat beautiful, 0000 with long hair was so beautiful that it was beyond the boundaries of humanity and reached a level that was almost evil.

His drooping eyelashes and the half-wet hair gathered in front of him exuded an irresistible temptation.

0002 began to feel that this dizzying feeling was a little familiar, and then he suddenly realized that this was the feeling he had in the mine!

Isn’t excessive beauty another form of spiritual pollution?

0002 forced himself to look away from Cen Xun. Compared to the possibility of being struck by lightning, 0002 inexplicably felt that the person next to him was more terrifying.

The turbulence intensified, and the fuselage began to flip and fly in various postures. The sky was spinning, and 0002 closed his eyes tightly, praying frantically in his heart that they could land safely.

Perhaps God heard his prayers, but finally, the bomber they were on broke through the thunderstorm layer and escaped from the siege of the [natural disaster].

The air flow stabilized. 0001 exhaled slightly, trying to keep his hands steady. "Where to go next?"

Tong Ming also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Send a signal to Yaxu and ask him to pick us up at the nearby airport."

Soon after, they got in touch with Yaxu, who directed them to a nearby airport and cleared an area for their landing.

The all-black bomber landed on the runway and slowly stopped taxiing.

The cabin door opened and everyone walked out of the cabin one after another. Seeing the scorching sunlight above their heads, they finally felt a sense of reality that they had survived.

0003 wiped away tears and said, "After ten years, I finally escaped from that prison."

0024 patted 0003's shoulder, and his nose also felt sore. Only they themselves knew what it felt like to have suffered these ten years.

He raised his head and looked at the empty airport in a daze. Once he was free, he didn't know where to go.

This world is so unfamiliar to him. What would it matter if he got out? Now they have forgotten everything in the past. Where will they go next?

At this moment, a black and white minibus appeared in 0024's field of vision. There seemed to be some words written on the paint on the body of the bus. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and finally recognized the words on it.

"Nightmare University?" 0096 hesitantly pronounced the words, wondering, "Why is it a school bus that's picking us up?"

"I don't know." Tong Ming looked at the school bus in the same posture as him, squinting his eyes and smiling: "Maybe it's because our old principal is here."

"What?" 0003 glanced at everyone present with a confused look: "There's a principal here? Who is the principal?"

"0001, 0002, 0024, 0096 all looked at him silently.

0003: "I'm sorry, I was stupid."

Apart from 0000, who else is qualified to be the principal?

The school bus stopped in front of them, and Cen Xun was the first to get on. Before getting on, he paused as if remembering something, and said to 0001 and the other non-Nightmare University members, "If you have nowhere else to go for the time being, stay at Nightmare University for the time being."

0009 followed without hesitation: "Great! Brother 40, I will follow you forever!"

0002, 0003, 0024, and 0096 were unable to make a decision for a moment, and looked inquiringly at the most reliable 0001.

Seeing 0001 pursed his lips and remained silent, Tong Ming advised, "The world outside is changing a lot, and you don't know anything about it. Instead of leaving here without knowing anything, why not learn about the current situation at Nightmare University first?"

0001 was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked him a question: "Is this the real world?"

The other four were stunned when they heard this. 0002 asked blankly, "0001, what do you mean?"

Tong Ming replied: "No, this is a nightmare world."

"Currently, only Nightmare University has a passage to the real world," Tong Ming said. "If you want to return to the real world, you can only go through Nightmare University's portal."

"Nightmare world? What other dimension is the nightmare world?" This completely confused 0002: "Where am I now?"

Qin Xiu explained, "The nightmare world is a world of monsters. Monsters are divided into natural monsters and monsters transformed from humans. I am a monster transformed from a human."

0003’s eyes almost popped out of his head: “You, you, you, you are not human?”

Qin Xiu looked calm. Wusa leaned over and pointed at himself: "Actually, what Qin Xiu said is not entirely correct. There is also a kind of monster that is transformed from an animal, such as me."

0003 was shocked: "Ah? Ah? You're not human either?"

0001, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up: "Get in the car."

They knew nothing about the nightmare world. If they rashly explored it without any understanding of it, the danger would undoubtedly be greater than entering the Nightmare University.

Although in 0001's opinion, Nightmare University may not be a safe place, but if it is true as Tong Ming said, the only channel connecting to the real world is inside Nightmare University, then they will enter Nightmare University sooner or later.

So, it’s better to go in directly.

Everyone got in the car, and the skeleton driver turned the steering wheel and drove towards Nightmare University.

0001, 0002, 0003, and 0024 were asking Tong Ming for more information about the nightmare world, while 0009 huddled together with Wu Sa and whispered in his ear, "Do you think my brother who appeared last has the good side or the evil side?"

Wusa glanced at the principal in front of him and thought for a moment: "I think it's the good side. After all, he's not wearing a black cloak."

"You're stupid! To confuse us, he could have just taken off the Good Side's clothes and put them on himself!" 0009 said, full of conspiracy theories: "And look, he has long hair. If it's the Good Side, his hair can't grow that fast, right?"

Usa was also hesitant: "Hmm, that seems to make sense?"

0009 continued his conspiracy theory: "The Good Side was so weak at the time, there's no way he could have defeated the Evil Side. This shows that this Brother 40 must be a fake disguised as the Evil Side! He must be trying to trick us back to his lair and eat us all!"

Wusa was puzzled: "But he is so strong, there is no need to lie. He can eat us all on the way, right?"

0009 said confidently: "You don't understand, he must be enjoying the pleasure of playing with us in his hands!"

Wusa was even more confused: "You guessed it, why did you still dare to follow the principal? Aren't you afraid of being eaten?"

0009 said righteously, "If eating me can help my brother unify the world, I am willing to sacrifice myself for him! Even if it means killing people without mercy, I am willing to sacrifice myself for him!"

Usa: ""

Cen Xun in front of me said quietly, "When you say bad things about me behind my back, can you please not let me hear it?"

0009 immediately covered his mouth and lowered his voice to Wusa, "What should I do? He heard me! Will he kill me in the next second? A thread cutting my throat, a huge mouth swallowing me whole, oh my god! I can't even imagine how I'm going to die!"

The corner of Wusa's mouth twitched, and he smiled politely: "If you say a few more words, maybe you will."

Qin Xiu listened to their conversation, sighed softly, skillfully found the equipment from the car, logged into the account, and began to deal with the backlog of accounts in the past few days.

On the other hand, 0001 and others listened to a series of novel concepts about "players", "nightmare system", "strange domain", "strange monsters", etc., and their worldview was impacted again and again.

"The five of you are no longer human," Tong Ming cruelly revealed the truth. "In other words, you actually died ten years ago."

""

This news was so shocking that the five people were unable to accept it for a while. Anyone who knew that they were actually dead and transformed into another species would find it difficult to accept the reality.

"So, I don't recommend you go back to the real world directly. The Heretic Monitoring Bureau will indiscriminately attack all monsters. Regardless of whether you were human before, they assume that you will pose a threat to humanity." Tong Ming shrugged. "You don't want to go to jail again, do you?"

This fact was even more unacceptable to the five people.

Losing your memory, transforming into another species, and being ostracized by your former compatriots—there's nothing worse than this series of news.

Tong Ming noticed that they were in a bad mood and said considerately, "Anyway, don't think too much about it for now. Just take a few days off at Nightmare University and we'll talk about it later."

Back at Nightmare University, Wusa arranged dormitories for the five people and settled them in. Before leaving, 0001 called out to Wusa, "Will the warden be killed by the principal?"

After getting off the car, the warden was taken away by Cen Xun. 0001 felt that the warden might be in danger and couldn't help but ask Wusa.

Wusa said in embarrassment: "I'm not sure about this. The principal's thoughts are always difficult to guess. I'm afraid I can only give you an answer tomorrow."

0001 had no choice but to nod and watch Usa go away.

There are many hidden talents in this nightmare university. Even 0001 doesn't know whether his choice to enter the nightmare university was right or wrong.

But now that we're in, we can only take it one step at a time.

In the principal's office, Cen Xun pulled the puppet thread out of the warden's brain.

The warden fell to the ground and fainted. Tong Ming ignored him and looked at Cen Xun first: "How is it, Fourth Brother, did you gain anything?"

"His memories are fragmented, so we can't get much useful information." Cen Xun turned around and sat down on the chair, saying in a deep voice, "The only useful information we've got is that his ability can blur other people's memories. However, this kind of memory damage is not irreversible; it just requires time and external stimulation."

"So, those five people, as well as [Demonic Transformation], might all recover their memories?" Tong Ming frowned. "That's not good news. Whether [Demonic Transformation] recovers its memory or not is fine, but those five people were all former members of the Heresy Monitoring Bureau. If they recover their memories, they might stab us in the back."

In this situation, Cen Xun could not confidently sign a contract with them and make them his followers.

Tong Ming shook his head: "If it really doesn't work, just turn them into puppets and put an end to it."

"But what I didn't expect was that I would actually meet that unlucky fellow [Miserable] in Scarlet Abyss Prison." Tong Ming said half mockingly, "No wonder my all-seeing eyes couldn't see any trace of him. It turns out he was just unlucky enough to be imprisoned."

Cen Xun didn't say anything.

Tong Ming quickly noticed Cen Xun's unusual silence and looked at him in confusion. Then, his expression changed slightly as he thought of something else: "Wait, if damaged memories can be restored, then can memories that have been actively shattered also be restored?"

"No," Cen Xun said slowly, "It will never be recovered."

Tong Ming was speechless and didn't know how to react for a moment.

Although he had always disliked Cen Xun's relationship with Feng Jihan, his mood became very complicated when he saw that Cen Xun had really lost those memories.

Tong Ming has witnessed how Cen Xun and Feng Jihan have come to where they are today. He actually knows very well how much Feng Jihan means to Cen Xun.

If he deleted the explosive news himself and then found out that he could never recover the precious data, he would definitely be devastated.

Tong Ming opened his mouth to say something, but Cen Xun waved his hand: "Go out, I want to be alone."

Tong Ming responded softly, turned around and walked out.

As soon as we left the administrative building, heavy rain began to fall from the gloomy sky.

Tong Ming stretched out his hand to catch the cold raindrops and smiled helplessly: "It's impossible for Third Sister to catch up so quickly."

He shook his head, opened an umbrella, and walked into the rain alone.

A few minutes later, Tong Ming arrived at the school gate and happened to see the guard put down the intercom and said to the people outside the gate in a serious tone: "Teacher Cen said that he will not see anyone today."

The man outside the gate was drenched by the sudden downpour, but he still insisted to the guard: "Please ask for me again, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Tong Ming and stopped talking.

Tong Ming held up an umbrella and looked at him, his eyes filled with pity: "You're too late."

Feng Jihan stared at him closely: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you should go back." Tong Ming sighed, "My brother won't see anyone today, especially you."
