When I awoke from the world inside the [simulated halo], it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon in real time.
Meanwhile, on the other side, it was nearly midnight, and most of the people, who had been anxious and exhausted all afternoon, had fallen asleep on the spot. Only a few lingered at the lowered gate, seemingly wanting to open it and escape.
But those creatures were quickly frightened by the giant rats still lingering nearby and couldn't continue their actions. After a period of breathless stalemate, one of them took the lead and fled, while the rest scurried away like birds and beasts, tails between their legs, away from the fragile, thin wall that had isolated the danger.
This is truly a temporary safe zone, and it is filled with turmoil and unease from every angle.
No one knows how the world will change when we wake up tomorrow. We can only remain vigilant, yet stick together and rely on each other to maintain a semblance of peace.
Perhaps it was because after the turmoil before evening, the leadership shifted seamlessly to me and Sheng, and no one dared to stand up and object. Although most people still kept an eye on us, the overall atmosphere gradually stabilized after the initial tension and panic.
As long as we don't show any signs of trying to get closer.
Of course, although I don't know exactly what Sheng, who always looked worried, was thinking, I really had no intention of taking the initiative to deal with them.
I have no additional needs from them, nor will I casually extend my kindness or take the initiative to participate in their management and assistance. I only need to ensure that they are not harassed, or that they die in front of me.
Only you can truly save yourself; relying on others will only invite betrayal—this has always been my attitude towards life.
In this sense, their existence is like a meaningless addition to me, a background image that can be seen everywhere when walking in a crowd. They are only slightly higher than inanimate objects because they have similar appearances, similar intelligence, and appear in my field of vision from time to time.
Rather than wasting time on things that are unlikely to yield any results, I'd rather make the most of this magical world, train my control over my magic, and strive to improve.
Ultimately, this is my main purpose.
Of course, to avoid drawing too much attention, all of this was done in an empty room where it wouldn't be noticed by too many outsiders.
There were many strange but familiar pieces of equipment on the nearby tables, but most of them were damaged. Only a few screens flickered with fine, white snowflakes, and there were traces of blood on the edges and surfaces of the counters. Fortunately, after removing the obstructing chairs, there was enough space left, and because the door could be locked, it was much safer than the open outside.
Most of the weapons that were previously confiscated are also stored here.
The guy guarding the place was probably dozing off and didn't notice what was happening outside. When he saw us push the door open and stare at us for a few seconds, he got up and yelled at us. In the end, I just packed him up and threw him outside. I then set up a defensive barrier and a soundproof barrier to ignore the noisy barking.
Everything fell silent, and I could finally rest in peace.
This is the real safe zone.
After finishing setting up his bunk, Sheng curiously watched my training for a while, occasionally asking questions during the gaps in the training, trying to do some pre-training. But in the end, he couldn't resist the mental drowsiness and physical exhaustion, and fell asleep first in a spot a little away from me.
After that, I trained for a while longer before leaving with a satisfied look in my eyes.
Then I woke up in the outside world.
How can I describe how I feel right now?
It's like I have two balls of cotton thread in my hand, both of which look ordinary.
The original ball of cotton thread consisted of single strands, possessing excellent elasticity and moderate to high attack power, but it was also very fragile and easily affected by external interference. This newly refined ball of cotton thread, due to its hasty modification, was woven hastily, but because it is composed of three equally wide, fine cotton threads, even with a slight sacrifice in elasticity, it remains quite stable. Its attack power is not diminished in the slightest, and has even become more concentrated.
That's about it.
"However, this is only an improvement in the finer details; the total amount and nature remain unchanged..."
Gazing at the gentle, flickering flame at my fingertips, I fell into deep thought: "Is there any opportunity that could allow me to access research in other similar areas?"
I considered directly contacting my supervisor for help, but I quickly stopped myself from being too dependent and lazy.
Admittedly, my mentor would gladly grant my every request, but if he did this every time, I would eventually lose the ability to think, explore, and innovate independently.
That won't do.
I'm not some helpless, crying baby who can't do anything without a wet nurse.
After a moment's thought, I suddenly remembered the notebook I found in the cave yesterday, and the long, fiery red feather that was as beautiful as a flame.
Because I don't know exactly which bird the feather belongs to, I haven't been able to fully figure out why the trap was successfully triggered. I can only assume for now that it belongs to a bird that is good at using fire, but I don't know if this guess is correct.
