Chapter 86
With the anchor point fixed, it only takes a blink of an eye to travel from one world to another.
The voice from the apprentice suddenly stopped, representing the gap between the two worlds.
As a companion in a lonely world, the feeling of loss of leaving rose from the bottom of his heart. Rong Zhou thought that Liu Ze, who came from the same world as him, would continue to walk with him and return to the original world. He also understood that Liu Ze chose to stay, but the separation came too suddenly and he didn't have time to say goodbye properly.
Rong Zhou calmed down and looked up to see Wen Ciqiu and Wen Zhezhi holding Yaya and Shitou respectively. This was a habit he had developed before, putting the two children into a deep sleep to protect them before the world became clear to him.
Thinking back to what Liu Ze had just said, was it wrong for him to do this? He was still young before, so it didn't matter if he didn't need to explain.
If they woke up and found that their home was no longer in the same place, and Liu Ze, Yan Shiliu, and Liu Jiayu were all gone, how would they explain it to them? It was indeed impossible to ignore the feelings of the children as before.
But... when he came to this world, Rong Zhou immediately felt something was wrong. Countless energies carrying negative emotions surged from all directions. These impacting energies made Rong Zhou dazed for a moment.
He immediately cut off the reception of external energy, and after a long while, he was able to suppress something that was surging inside. At this time, he had no time to think about the problem of the two children. He waved his hand and asked the two housekeepers to take the children back.
Faced with two children, he still needs to think carefully before making a decision.
——————————————
On the bluestone-paved street, four people ran forward desperately. There was no light in the shops on the surrounding ancient street. The blue brick houses near and far merged into the darkness, and none of the lanterns hanging outside were lit.
They could only keep running forward like this, not daring to stop. The empty darkness behind them advanced towards them silently. All the shadows that the Devourer could see turned into darkness, emitting a silent roar.
The four people were already panting. The woman in a professional suit had already thrown away her high heels, and her feet were now covered in blood. The three men in front did not stop to wait for her just because she was a woman.
At this moment, life is at stake. If you stop, you will be risking your life. As long as you outrun your companions, you can live a little longer.
The bluestone road was already bumpy, and the female white-collar worker who ran barefoot on it endured pain with every step until she became numb now. She was just an office worker all year round, and it was already her limit for her to run for so long.
Looking at the three men still running in front of him, he called for help again: "Wait for me, save me."
Female white-collar worker Zhao Xiuli was in tears, running until she was dizzy and out of breath. She never thought that a horror game would happen to her. She was just taking a ride home after get off work.
Every few years there is a legend about the end of the world. No matter how true the doomsday sounds, the sun will still rise tomorrow and life will go on as usual.
No one knows when the end of the world will come. It will come quietly, and by the time everyone realizes something is wrong, the news has already spread.
[Horror Game] This is the name everyone gave to this doomsday. Every night, a few unlucky people in every corner of the world are pulled into the game. During the day, they will find corpses with various causes of death in every corner of the world.
Of course there will be survivors. This is an unpredictable disaster. Those who enter are random. There are rich people, important people, bosses, beggars, and ordinary people. No matter what their identities are during the day, everyone is pulled into the game just to survive.
Zhao Xiuli thought that those were just legends, there were no positive reports in the newspapers, and it would never happen to her. But she encountered it tonight, and fatigue and fear enveloped her all the time.
Once again, she cried to the three people who were running away in front of her, "Please save me, I don't want to die." The darkness behind her was getting closer. She didn't even have the strength to lift her feet. Her legs staggered and she almost fell to the ground. She struggled to keep running forward.
Those people would not turn back to save her. If she did not work hard, she would be swallowed by the darkness behind her. Tomorrow, she would find a pile of minced meat in a corner of the world. She had seen people who died in horror games in the newspapers, and she did not want to become a corner of the newspaper.
The three people in front were running farther and farther away, and the dark shadows behind them were pressing closer to her. Just as she was desperately preparing to face death, she caught a glimpse of red light from the corner of her eye.
She looked over there. In this ancient bluestone town in the south, in addition to the relatively wide stone road in the middle, there were small alleys between each black-tiled house. Some were wide and some were narrow. They were used to store miscellaneous items. Behind the wide alleys were houses.
The red light she saw was a lantern hanging at the door of a house at the back of an alley. In this dark bluestone ancient town, there was only a ray of light there. At this time, she was exhausted and couldn't think so much.
Light is hope. Instinctively, I crawled towards the house with the red lantern.
Only when she got closer did she see the gate. The bright redwood and the dark bluestone of the ancient town were completely two different worlds. If it wasn't a matter of life and death, she might have thought a lot about why there was such a bright place in this dark world. But now she just pounced on it and knocked on the door desperately.
"Help, help me." Zhao Xiuli threw herself against the wooden door, shouting for help and banging on the door. The thick darkness behind her followed her into the alley.
"Is there anyone there? Help! Help!" The voice could be heard throughout the ancient town, and the black shadow was getting closer and closer.
Apart from the swaying red lantern, the wooden door that Zhao Xiuli knocked on did not move at all. She no longer had the strength to escape, and she slid down against the gate in despair, watching the dark shadows rolling towards her and swallowing her.
"Mom, I want to go home." She closed her crying eyes and waited for death to come, and then... nothing happened. She had prepared a farewell to death, but it had been a while, and nothing happened, so she couldn't help but open her eyes to look.
It was only three meters away from her, as if there was a layer of glass, blocking the black fog outside. The occasional human-shaped smoke shadows formed by the black fog were like human faces squeezed on the glass, staring at her with hideous faces and roaring silently, but they couldn't get through.
She was still in the process of being rescued and hadn't reacted when the wooden door behind her creaked open and she leaned against it and rolled in firmly.
She was startled, and the person who opened the door for her was also startled by her.
This was truly a unique entrance ceremony. Wen Ciqiu's smile froze for a moment: "Hello, ma'am, what can I do for you?"
