Chapter 263 An Even More Mad Future
Why aren't you answering me?
"You're so aloof."
"I'm starting to like you. It seems you've realized this is a trap."
"But whether you answer or not... it will find you."
"Because I ordered it."
"Not many people can get here, so I hope you do your best."
Gu Heng had already held his breath, to the point of complete cessation. Although he didn't have any combat-advantageous characteristics, he had been trained in Eoubs and had received several gene injections. He didn't know how long he could hold his breath, but just as the voice in his mind said, this thing could sense where he was, perhaps through his heartbeat? Although it wasn't beating very fast now, he had no ability to stop it.
He simply remained still, the two were now so close—he could see directly what was inside the monster's eye sockets. In fact… well, Gu Heng thought, it wasn't empty after all. Although it looked similar on the outside, a closer look revealed that this was something he had never seen in his long career as an operative—something that wouldn't even happen in the scariest movie he had ever watched.
There was indeed something else in that abyss-like darkness—as if sensing the audience's enthusiasm, it met his gaze, and then he saw what lay within—
Faces, tens of thousands of faces, densely packed behind him, all raised their faces and stared at him.
They were so small, yet there were so many of them, each no bigger than a sesame seed. He truly couldn't understand why a person's mind could be filled with such a dense and numerous array of faces. Those faces, each with its own unique expression, easily spotted himself, and then slowly began to rotate—as if they were alive.
Gu Heng subconsciously wanted to use his future vision, but then he felt nauseous and almost threw up.
It slowly approached, and he felt the pressure in the surrounding air, as well as the gradually blurring sounds in his mind.
"The supporting characters of two books...meet at this great moment."
"It is you who have given that greatness."
"It's truly heartbreaking."
"Oh my god, my eyes are about to water again."
"You guys, I'm going to cry my eyes out."
The scene was so disgusting that Gu Heng didn't even have the urge to curse. He should have just said something like, "When the hell are you going to shut up and get out of my head?"
At the same time, the thing was getting closer and closer, and he found that his vision was becoming more and more acute, as amazing as his mother's dynamic vision—he saw that the person had a metal tag folded at his waist, the kind that was extended—with the words "This is a supporting character in the next book, sorry I haven't thought of a name yet" written on it. He suddenly felt it was absurd, and a huge and sad emotion came over him.
Who was that monster? It had no name, no purpose in existence. It probably lived a mundane life somewhere in the world, going to work at a company or school every day. Like most ordinary people it encountered, it lived a monotonous life, going back and forth between two points until it died.
But now, he has lost the framework of being human and has become something completely different.
It began to slowly raise its hand towards the top of Gu Heng's head.
This seemed to be a disciplinary action, because Gu Heng saw that his deformed, split mouth also slowly opened wider with the movement, as if... he was about to eat.
At that moment, the monster suddenly stopped and then turned its head 180 degrees very nimbly.
An arm reached down from the ceiling of the dome—it was a woman's hand, standing alone in this bizarre scene.
The five fingers, white from being soaked in water, began to tremble, like tentacles trying to explore something.
However, the next second...
The monster leaped up and charged towards the ceiling, its movements so fast Gu Heng couldn't even see it. It grabbed the arm and dragged it down forcefully, causing the other to writhe and struggle. The hand brushed against his cheek, carrying the unmistakable smell of formaldehyde.
Then, the monster emitted a satisfied low growl—similar to that of a canine—and began to gnaw on the arm.
The details are best left unsaid, but in short, Gu Heng was disgusted; the scene was quite inhuman.
Just then, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. Immediately afterwards, someone pulled out the pen that was still stuck in his back and grabbed his arm, rushing forward.
For a moment, Gu Heng's mind went blank, but soon he struggled to his feet—because he was now charging straight toward the monster feeding on the floor—damn it, even if he was going to die, he didn't want to die in that thing's mouth.
"Don't move, it's me."
An Rushi's voice was weak, but her tone was firm and left no room for resistance.
He immediately cooperated, letting the other person lead him forward. They quickly passed the two deformed creatures. Along the way, they stepped on blood plasma and almost slipped. The consequences were unimaginable... he might have died on the spot. Gu Heng didn't think twice and just rushed past.
Her arm had been eaten down to just two fingers, but she still tried to grab An Rushi's ankle. Something resembling an iron hook even grew from the joint. She didn't know what it was, but it was clearly something the creator had added on purpose, and with ill intent.
It almost caught her.
They ran for a long time, without any clear direction—the surrounding scenery opened up—similar to a private passageway for tourists in a shopping mall, but now it was littered with all sorts of waste, making it look as if some disaster had struck.
The person in front looked up a few times, then suddenly stopped. Gu Heng almost tripped and fell, before whispering, "Were you dragged in too?"
"No, it's simply that I discovered you."
“I used Bel Hera’s power to pull you out of that place.”
“Bell Hera…you mean this is the fucking N23 district?”
The other person immediately released him, took two steps back, and then stared intently at something on the notice board, their face full of bitterness and resentment.
“The timeline here is different from the outside world,” An Ru said to herself, then laughed hysterically. “I followed your instructions to track Xien, but I got lost without realizing it.”
"But we were lucky enough to run into Bel Hera along the way, otherwise we would all be finished."
Suddenly.
That power to predict the future began to erupt.
They don't give people a chance to breathe at all.
Gu Heng collapsed to his knees, overwhelmed by immense pain. He felt something cracking inside his body, like his chest cavity—bone marrow and blood seeped out from the crack, filling his entire body.
1 second...
2 seconds...
27 seconds passed.
Gu Heng finally came to his senses.
He was covered in blood.
But he... witnessed an even more insane future.
