Chapter 60
Nightmare University Administration Building, 5th floor, Operations Department.
It was a new day again. The employees Qin Xiu brought from Jingdu Business District were busy in their respective cubicles, but this day was different from usual because their immediate superior brought a senior leader to inspect today. They did not dare to be negligent and stood up to greet them one by one.
"Hello, Principal! Hello, Director!"
"Hello, Principal!"
Cen Xun nodded slightly, but did not stay for long. Instead, he walked with Qin Xiu to the room next to the operations department.
This room is not as big as the operations department which occupies almost the entire floor. It is a small room composed of six mirrors. The mirror facing the door is inlaid with intricate silver-white lines. These lines extend to the center and together outline the shape of a door.
At this time, the "door" outlined by the lines was still an ordinary mirror. When Cen Xun walked in, the first thing he saw was his own reflection in the mirror.
Wu Sa and Tong Ming had already been waiting in the mirror space. When they saw Cen Xun and Qin Xiu enter, Tong Ming's face was full of eagerness and he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, shall we start now?"
Today is a good day! After so long in obtaining the port, today they can finally activate it to connect to the real world, completely opening up the channel between the two worlds!
Tong Ming can't wait to rush into the real world and stir up trouble!
The real world is not like the nightmare world. Most of the people living in the real world do not have special powers. For monsters of their level, entering the real world is like a wolf entering a sheepfold. Tong Ming couldn't imagine how happy that would be!
The beautiful vision is right before their eyes. Not only Tong Ming is excited, but Cen Xun is also looking forward to it.
He nodded and smiled, "Let's get started."
When activating a port for the first time, the point where the port lands in the real world will be very random and cannot be fixed. However, now with Yaxu helping to locate the port's landing point, these are no longer a problem.
The ideal landing point in Cen Xun's plan is the operations department of Chuangyu Technology. This is equivalent to connecting the two operations departments of the real world and the nightmare world together, ensuring confidentiality while greatly improving the efficiency of information transmission between the two worlds.
Considering that the nightmare world is full of pollution, even in the strange domain of Nightmare University, the pollution still exists, so Cen Xun specially asked Wusa to open a mirror space to ensure the safety of the port location and block the pollution of the nightmare world.
Cen Xun doesn't care about the lives of humans. He does this purely to ensure that the pollution does not overflow into the real world and be detected as abnormal by the Heresy Monitoring Bureau.
If the Heresy Monitoring Bureau follows the pollution and destroys their hideout, then all their efforts will be in vain.
Cen Xun stepped aside, and Yaxu spoke through the PA system in a robotic male voice: [Port 1, first positioning test begins.]
Qin Xiu took out the slightly larger silver key from the skill [Wealth Interest] and placed it directly into the mirror door.
As the key was integrated, ripples appeared on the mirror surface like water. At the same time, countless points of light lit up and flowed along the silver lines towards the mirror door in the center.
The light spots flowing towards the mirror door overlapped layer by layer, the door frame of the mirror door became brighter and brighter, and the ripples on the mirror surface soon turned into a silver vortex half a person's height.
[Estimated end time: 15 seconds]
[Estimated end time: 8 seconds]
The vortex's speed gradually subsided and then returned to calm.
【The first positioning is completed.】
A biting gale mixed with snow particles rushed in from the half-person-high passage, ruffling everyone's hair in an instant.
Wusa moved forward against the cold wind, lying at the entrance of the passage curiously to look out. He saw a black and white creature staggering in the snow, and when it saw Wusa suddenly sticking his head out, it opened its sharp mouth and screamed in surprise.
Surprised, Wusa immediately pointed at it and looked at Cen Xun with shining eyes: "Principal, look, this bird is also black and white. Could it be a relative of the atheist?"
Cen Xun went over to take a look and said, "That's a penguin. It's just the color scheme that's similar. It's probably not the same species as Feng Jihan."
Wusa thought the same and asked, "Then Principal, do you want to keep one? I'll go catch one for you."
Cen Xun was not interested: "I don't want to."
He has a special taste and only wants to keep Feng Jihan, that evil bird.
While they were discussing penguins, Tong Ming was behind them, holding a notebook and typing in coordinates manually: "It was actually located in Antarctica. Lao Ba, reopen the channel according to the coordinates I gave you."
Tong Ming has an omniscient eye and knows every coordinate in the real world, but Yaxu is different. Without an Internet connection, it knows nothing about the real world.
In other words, if Yaxu wants to locate the exact coordinates, it has to rely on Tong Ming's omniscience to constantly calibrate its direction. Only in this way can it help build a new map of the real world.
After the test just now, a small area below the black sphere on the laptop screen was lit up.
The passage to the South Pole was closed, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the mirror surface returned to a silver vortex.
[Port 1, the second positioning test begins.]
Qin Xiu quietly stood beside Wu Sa and reached out to brush away the snow grains on Wu Sa's hair. Wu Sa lowered his head to make it easier for Qin Xiu to do his hair.
This positioning test took ten seconds.
After the whirlpool calmed down again, the scene that appeared in the mirror door again turned into an endless ocean.
The sun was shining, seabirds were circling low overhead, and the blue sea was calm.
Suddenly, a large black and white fish jumped out of the sea. Its all-black dorsal fin was extremely smooth, with a spindle-shaped white spot behind each eye and a snow-white belly. It fell leisurely into the sea, and the waves it raised carried the sea water and splashed into the channel.
Ursa took a few steps back to avoid the overflowing seawater, confused and shocked: "Principal, another black and white creature!"
Cen Xun was also a little speechless. If Yaxu had not been unable to accurately locate the location for the time being, he would have suspected that this artificial idiot had done it on purpose.
Yaxu then repositioned the sphere twice. After Tong Ming's manual calibration, four areas lit up on the black sphere. With these four points, Yaxu used his algorithm to deduce the complete coordinate system of the real world.
By the fifth positioning test, Yaxu successfully located the office building of Chuangyu Technology.
Yaxu easily connected to Chuangyu Technology's internal network and contacted Qin Shiyuan.
After a while, Qin Shiyuan and Rong Tianchang hurried into the room.
These two people were informants planted by Cen Xun when he first became the principal.
Qin Shiyuan is the illegitimate son of the Qin family. Backed by the Qin family, he does not have much power but has a lot of money. Chuangyu Technology under his name has become the secret office for Nightmare University to implement online gossip transactions, while Rong Tianchang is responsible for building a mirror website for online transactions to ensure the security of online transactions.
Now that the two worlds have been connected, their future business scope will no longer be limited to online transactions.
Qin Shiyuan walked into the room. Even though he was prepared, his heart still trembled violently uncontrollably when he saw the real half-person-high passage.
The weirdness of Nightmare University actually broke through reality.
It is difficult to describe the fear Qin Shiyuan felt at that moment in words.
This kind of fear cannot be offset by knowing that you are in a monster camp and will not be attacked by monsters.
It's like you see through the sky curtain, the alien with great power is about to attack the human world. Even if you have joined the alien camp early on, when you see the alien completely break through the sky curtain and descend, you will still feel a sense of despair.
Unlike Qin Shiyuan's fear, Rong Tianchang was genuinely happy that this rotten world was finally going to be destroyed. Isn't that something worth being happy about?!
Rong Tianchang almost shouted, "Please come here, Master Guiguai!"
He walked to the entrance of the passage in amazement and tentatively asked Cen Xun on the other side of the passage: "Principal, can you hear me?"
Cen Xun nodded: "Try and see if you can come over."
Rong Tianchang responded, grabbed the edge of the passage with one hand, lifted one leg, and climbed up the half-person-high passage. The passage was only half a person's height and a bit narrow. He bent over and squeezed in with all his strength. He turned over and landed in the mirror space.
Tong Ming put down his notebook and came over to witness this historic moment together. He said with a smile on his face, "Brother, it looks like we succeeded."
Cen Xun curled his lips slightly: "It's just a little small."
"It will get bigger, it's just a matter of time."
Tong Ming shrugged. He didn't care whether the passage was small or not. As long as it was a passage that could lead him out, it was a good passage.
Now that humans can get in, it depends on whether the monsters can get out safely.
Wusa changed back into a smaller cat form, gathered strength and jumped, then jumped out nimbly. With another jump, he jumped back into the mirror space without any stagnation, very smoothly. Qin Xiu steadily caught the kitten that jumped back and scratched its chin.
Wusa squinted his eyes and said, "I can get through, but after arriving in the real world, my strength has been greatly compressed. It's probably only at the Qingyi level."
Tong Ming rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll try it too!"
As he spoke, he tentatively stretched his hand towards the passage, but was unexpectedly stopped in mid-air by an invisible wall of air. Tong Ming's hand could still continue to stretch forward, but the feeling of stagnation was very strong.
An unknown force is preventing high-level monsters from passing through the barrier.
Tong Ming let out a light click of his tongue and ceased to maintain his human form, turning back into his awakened form with a bunch of densely packed eyeballs.
This pile of eyeballs rushed towards the mirror door like a tide, and thousands of eyeballs instantly blocked the mirror door completely.
The pollution level of this picture was too high. Apart from the monsters from Nightmare University, the two humans who witnessed this scene immediately lost their sense of sanity and avoided their sight uncomfortably.
As the saying goes, great strength can make miracles happen. Amid the gurgling sound of the eyeball constantly wriggling, about one-sixth of the eyeball broke away from the main body, passed through the channel, and fell to the ground with a plop mixed with mucus.
The pile of small eyes that fell to the ground transformed into the human form of Tong Ming. Tong Ming felt his current level, turned around and said to Cen Xun helplessly: "I am the same as Wu Sa. My strength has been compressed to the Qingyi level."
Cen Xun nodded slightly, walked to the front of the mirror door, and raised his hand. As a higher-level monster, Cen Xun's fingers were directly blocked outside the mirror door, unable to move forward, and there was no possibility of passing through the mirror door.
The puppet thread extending from Cen Xun's fingertips tried to move forward, but was also blocked outside the mirror door.
Tong Ming gave him a bad idea: "Brother, why don't you try to split your body?"
Cen Xun looked at him as if he were a fool.
Tong Ming: "I forgot, you are still a semi-awakened monster. If you can't use the method of splitting your body to compress your power, how are you going to get here?"
Cen Xun pondered for a moment and came up with an idea: "Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, Cen Xun pushed the door open and walked out of the mirror space. Tong Ming didn't know what Cen Xun was going to do, so he lay down at the entrance of the passage and spoke to Qin Xiu: "What do you think my brother has been doing? He couldn't have committed suicide quietly, could he?"
Qin Xiu placed Wusa on his shoulder and said calmly, "It's unlikely. The principal must have come up with another plan."
Tong Ming thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out how Cen Xun could reduce his strength to the Qingyi level, so he had no choice but to wait patiently for Cen Xun to come back and reveal the answer.
About ten minutes later, Cen Xun pushed the door open again. He looked unchanged. The only change was that there was a small white piece of paper in his hand.
Tong Ming curiously poked his head out: "Brother, this is..."
Cen Xun made a "hush" gesture, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and spread out his palms. The piece of paper cut into the shape of a little man in his palm suddenly moved and stood up shakily.
Cen Xun blew gently, and the paper man floated through the mirror door and flew into the real world.
As soon as it landed on the ground, the paper man quickly expanded as if blown up, his body became longer and longer, and his flat paper body was filled with flesh and blood, becoming tall and slender in an instant.
"Holy crap," Tong Ming stared at the Cen Xun clone in front of him in amazement, saying incredulously, "Brother, how did you do that?! Doesn't your puppet thread have trouble passing through the port?"
The clone opened its eyes and glanced at him with a look that was full of the original's spirit. "The puppet thread can't penetrate because it's connected to my original body and contains my original power."
"In that case, I can just pick out one."
To put it in an analogy, the puppet threads connecting his body are like high-voltage wires. These high-voltage wires exceed the rated voltage of the mirror gate, so they cannot pass through.
But if Cen Xun removes a puppet thread individually, this puppet thread will become a mobile power bank. Cen Xun can freely choose how much electricity to charge into the power bank. As long as the power is controlled within the range allowed by the mirror door, this puppet thread can pass through the mirror door at will.
At this time, if you combine it with the skill [Make Paper Reality], you can create the effect of a clone.
"The most crucial part is that my puppet threads can be used offline." Cen Xun said thoughtfully, "It seems that the puppet threads are part of my body. Therefore, my body should be composed of a bunch of threads."
Tong Ming was speechless and silently gave him a thumbs-up: "6."
Cen Xun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He walked straight to the window and opened the tightly closed curtains.
The sunlight of the real world instantly fell all over him, warm and dazzling, seemingly no different from the sunlight in the nightmare world.
Cen Xun stood in front of the window, looking down from above.
The humans under the office buildings are as small as ants, the vehicles coming and going honk their horns from time to time, and the city running smoothly has no idea that the crisis has quietly arrived.
"Is this the world you want to protect?" Cen Xun murmured softly, "It doesn't look very good."
Cen Xun stretched out his finger and traced the outline of the city through the glass, his gentle touch like caressing a lover's face. "If we opened a new amusement park here, it would probably be fun."
"Of course!" Tong Ming rushed to his side and leaned against the window, gazing at the humans below with envy: "Brother, I can't wait!"
He took a deep breath, intoxicated. "Ah, is this the real world, filled with the fragrance of flesh and blood and the stench of chemicals?"
Rong Tianchang smiled wryly and continued, "Yes, Dean Tong, the air pollution here is quite serious. Citizens have been complaining about it for years, but our superpowered mayor refuses to rectify the situation in order to embezzle a small amount of money."
Tong Ming immediately condemned him indignantly, "How can this be! If you can't be mayor, you can give the position to someone in need, like our principal!"
Sighing, Tong Ming patted Rong Tianchang's shoulder sympathetically: "Don't worry, once the principal's puppet thread penetrates his skull, he will be obedient."
Rong Tianchang slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "That's great! Dean Tong, please wait. I'll go get a copy of the mayor's personal information!"
Qin Shiyuan on the side: ""
Witnessing Rong Tianchang's unhesitating defection, Qin Shiyuan couldn't help but start thinking about the dire straits that ordinary people at the bottom of society were in, that they would rather help monsters than care about the future of their fellow human beings.
Qin Shiyuan joined the Nightmare Camp for higher interests and rights, and also to save his life, but Rong Tianchang seemed to think that the world was rotten and that the human beings in the world were no longer worth saving, so it didn't matter even if it was destroyed.
Crazy, completely crazy.
Qin Shiyuan thought to himself that this was undoubtedly a crazy era.
If all individuals in society are indifferent to the fate of the race, then even if monsters do not appear, humanity will sooner or later destroy itself.
Thinking of this, the fear in Qin Shiyuan's heart gradually dissipated and turned into a calmness of accepting reality.
He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Principal, I have prepared a list of government officials and top management of major companies. Do you want to go to the conference room now?"
Cen Xun turned around, his lips slightly curved: "Let's go."
That night, Feng Jihan came out of the shower and turned on his phone, only to find that an unknown contact had sent him a message.
Feng Jihan frowned slightly, sat on the bed and took off the towel on his head. After opening the message, he saw this sentence:
[The world is a nightmare. Sooner or later, you will realize that this world is not worth saving.]
Feng Jihan was stunned for a moment and quickly edited a message back.
【Who are you? 】
A message came back quickly.
【My little bird, do you want to play a game with me? 】
