The next morning.
No one knows what happened, but the leaden-gray clouds and blood-red lightning in the sky all disappeared.
The first rays of dawn shone through the cracks in the window onto Yu Xiangnan's face.
She suddenly sprang to her feet.
Sleeping on this hard floor for a long time made my bones feel like they were falling apart. My lower back ached, and my head felt dizzy.
Thinking back to the days and nights she had spent working like crazy in the tower, with Brafedo taking turns on guard duty and her only managing to snatch a short nap, she was now overwhelmed by exhaustion and fatigue.
It felt like I'd stayed up for three consecutive nights.
Fortunately, survival in survival games relies on health points, otherwise I might have died suddenly.
Yu Xiangnan quickly packed his things and prepared to leave.
Yesterday, she found the "cultural center warehouse" and the "mountain god temple at the entrance of the town that was half collapsed" mentioned in the key clues. Taking advantage of the good weather today, she went to these two places to look for key clues.
The mountain god temple is located less than 200 meters east of the town entrance, and is surrounded by thick fog.
She went up to take a look.
Half of the temple has collapsed, and the ruins, surrounded by weeds, look particularly desolate. Broken bricks and stones are scattered all over the ground, some covered with moss, others buried in the soil.
The roof tiles of the temple were scattered and broken, and sunlight shone through the missing parts onto the dusty ground, creating dappled light and shadow.
Yellow notebook, yellow notebook...
Suddenly, Yu Xiangnan seemed to hear someone talking.
She turned around abruptly.
Suddenly, a strange light engulfed her vision, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself standing in a void.
Bula and Fedo have disappeared, and the chat function is inaccessible; they have essentially lost all contact.
Where is this?
Yu Xiangnan watched the scene ahead warily.
A figure slowly emerged from the shadows. This person wore a wide silver robe, the eerie dark patterns on which seemed to faintly emit a ghostly light. The face was adorned with an eagle mask, the beak of which was sharp.
"I am the third reversed..."
The mask completely concealed the face and expression, and even the voice coming from behind the mask seemed to be scattered and distorted by the night wind, making it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
He/She continued, "As for your name, you don't need to know. Just know that you are about to die at the hands of the third reversed card..."
Each word was squeezed out from between his teeth, drawn out long, carrying an undeniable arrogance and mystery.
A third reversed position?!
Despite his heart racing, Yu Xiangnan remained calm and retorted, "The third reversed card won't even show its face. Is it because it's afraid of its enemies seeking revenge?"
As she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on the other person, not missing a single sound, while she subtly adjusted her breathing and center of gravity.
Kill her? Is it for the [Dragon Mu Totem]?
But to everyone's surprise, the moment those words left his mouth, the third reversed card visibly stiffened, a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashing across his face, before letting out a cold snort: "Tsk, still being stubborn even when death is imminent!"
The next second, the third reversed position suddenly came to life.
With a sudden flick of his sleeve, a black aura, carrying a chilling killing intent and accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, hurtled straight toward Yu Xiangnan's throat.
Yu Xiangnan dodged to the side, the force of the energy grazing her cheek and causing a sharp pain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, she quickly closed in and swung her shovel.
The third reversed position remained calm and composed, shifting his feet lightly to easily dodge the attack. At the same time, he extended his right hand, his five fingers like hooks, and grabbed Yu Xiangnan's wrist.
Yu Xiangnan quickly withdrew his hand, jumped back a step, and stomped his foot hard on the ground.
She lowered her head, her gaze falling on the spot where she had been grabbed, now marked by a striking red ring, with a faint burning pain lingering in her eyes.
The movement was quick and powerful. If I hadn't pulled back in time, my hand might have been broken...
Before she could launch another attack, a vortex appeared beside her without warning.
The vortex was almost transparent, making it difficult to detect with the naked eye.
A vortex?!
Yu Xiangnan's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly retreated several steps. But then, in an instant, the almost transparent vortex split into two, then two into four, and then four into eight...
They immediately blocked her escape route.
In the blink of an eye, dark purple needles engraved with mysterious runes shot towards her from all sorts of tricky angles.
It's the same person!
The person who ambushed her in the "Escape from the Surface Project" instance!!
Upon seeing this, Yu Xiangnan gasped, instantly realizing the perilous situation. She acted decisively, swiftly unleashing the skills [Wind] and [Rolling Rolling Rolling].
Having learned from the previous experience, I was significantly more proficient with this skill this time. By carefully observing the trajectory and rhythm of the attacks, I was able to find fleeting patterns.
But the third reversed position wouldn't let her succeed so easily. Its offensive became increasingly fierce, giving Yu Xiangnan no chance to breathe, and each move was fatal.
Under this relentless onslaught, Yu Xiangnan could only concentrate intensely. She gradually felt her strength waning, and each parry and dodge became increasingly difficult.
Upon seeing this, the third reversed card let out a disdainful sneer.
Yu Xiangnan launched another attack, but unfortunately, it ended in failure once again.
The aura emanating from this so-called third reversed position was like a tangible pressure, making it almost impossible for her to breathe... She could clearly sense that this person's level was far higher than her own!
