Cheng Shuang was completely held back by the sticky Dragon Flame. It followed her wherever she went, like a chick behind a hen. But it was too big and its movements affected other people's work.
It can be put back into the space, so there will be fewer alarms in case of an accident.
Left with no other choice, the little girl simply sat back down. Dragon Flame, half-crawling and half-bent, awkwardly nestled its large head into the little girl's lap. It breathed heavily, its ruby-like vertical pupils darting about.
Cheng Shuang stroked Long Zhiyan's head, silently comforting it, lost in thought.
She wondered if she had done something wrong in one of the steps.
Based on their experience, the group searched every possible spot. This entirely blue space, apart from being somewhat visually dizzying, had no other hidden corners or filth.
After searching in vain, Sihai took out his return ticket and tried it out in various positions, but there was still no response. He immediately squatted down next to Cheng Shuang and asked, "Youyou, where are your three pages of documents?"
Cheng Shuang took out three thin sheets of paper. "I was also thinking, is some kind of clearance certificate needed? Otherwise, the snake-shaped fish wouldn't have bothered to find it." She turned to April and said, "Take out the painting and let's take a look."
In April, she deftly took out the painting, laid it flat on the ground, with the side with the halo facing up.
Cheng Shuang placed the second piece of paper on it. The round, large red stamp fit perfectly with the area of the halo in the painting. As soon as the paper fell, a click was heard in her ear.
Sihai and Siyue, who were closest to Cheng Shuang, both had their pupils constrict and reached out to grab her. However, their strength was no match for Long Zhiyan's. Long Zhiyan, who had firmly locked himself and the little girl in place, fell down the hole that suddenly appeared beneath him, along with the painting.
Sihai and Siyue, who were barely holding onto Cheng Shuang's clothes, were also pulled down. The seven people behind them also instinctively reached out to grab their companions. Like ten gourd brothers on a vine, they were not even as heavy as a dragon. In the blink of an eye, they all fell into the deep pit.
Almost as soon as the last person fell in, the pit slammed shut, leaving only a sneaker stuck outside that rolled twice before everything returned to calm.
It was as if they were gliding through a long passage. Because of the thick-skinned Dragon Flame clearing the way, almost no one was blocked wherever they went. However, they could hear the Dragon Flame's panicked roars and the occasional uncontrolled bursts of flame.
The people behind immediately went on high alert, worried that they might not die from the fall but instead be burned to death by the dragon's flames.
Fortunately, for some reason, the flames did not spread to them.
Cheng Shuang: No need to thank me, I'm just an unsung hero who put out the fire!
The descent was so rapid, the entire landscape filled with blue, dazzling everyone and causing their retinas to hallucinate. But no one dared close their eyes; who knew what awaited them below?
"Look!" Suddenly, Cheng Shuang's voice rang out.
The blue barrier had become increasingly thinner and thinner, and everyone saw an area enveloped by countless transparent spheres. When they looked up, they saw similar scenes everywhere in the void.
It's as if the planets in the universe are covered by countless transparent dome tents, large and small, endless in number.
They are like bacterial spores growing on a planet, able to reproduce and thrive on any medium that allows them to settle.
The group gasped and looked up as they turned the corner of the passage.
Above them was also a planet like that, only the 'dome tent' that transported them was smaller.
Cheng Shuang desperately tried to control her downward movement, holding the third thin page and carefully examining it.
No wonder no one could guess what this picture depicts!
Only someone who's been there can tell.
Just as she was about to reach the transparent dome, the light blue pipes suddenly branched off. Cheng Shuang kicked her legs hard to accelerate her descent so she could catch up with Long Zhiyan. As soon as her fingertips touched it, she immediately pulled the entire dragon back into her spatial dimension.
"Uncle Hai, return ticket!"
Cheng Shuang tilted her head back, the falling wind blowing her shoulder-length hair into a broom shape. She saw Si Hai holding a light bulb as if it were a flame, while nothing happened at her feet.
She had a bad feeling. What if this branch pipe was still transporting them to the petri dish?
Almost as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she slid down a thinner pipe.
At some point, the pale green liquid began to act as a lubricant, and the speed increased, with splashing water droplets constantly obscuring the view and blurring the vision.
Cheng Shuang immediately shouted, "Sad monster!"
A black cloak appeared quickly and wrapped the little girl tightly.
Thump, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and she fell into a container filled with liquid.
Through the grotesque vision of the grotesque creature, Cheng Shuang confirmed that this was another petri dish.
Without the help of the bear cub, breaking through the glass container would take some effort. The little girl thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and took out the firearm. Although she didn't know if shooting underwater would be dangerous, she was afraid that being immersed in the green liquid for a long time would cause her to lose her memory and fall into another cycle.
Fortunately, the firearms were quite effective. In a few blows, the petri dish shattered. Cheng Shuang, using a velvet cloth as a pad, thoroughly smashed the broken glass to create a passable hole.
She dared not delay. After confirming that the surrounding environment was another Möbius strip layout and there were no human-headed fish, she sent Roan and the zombie to search for their companions separately.
As for Dragon Flame, it was still spurred on by the predicament of being unable to spread its wings due to the uncontrolled fall, and it was still sticky and howling in the space. Cheng Shuang could only release it as a mount and fly low in another direction.
Along the way, in addition to normal organisms, there were many human-headed fish in the petri dishes. Cheng Shuang recognized them because some of their changes were not very complete, such as having a pair of human ears on their heads.
The so-called advancement to a larger and freer world is nothing but a lie; big fish eat little fish, and little fish eat shrimp.
Cheng Shuang just wanted to find her companions as soon as possible. She had a feeling that this was the right place to start her return journey.
Fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared to be tricked and took precautions in advance, so they all successfully escaped from the petri dish without needing any help.
Liao Yuewei was alright; when Cheng Shuang fell into the cave, she was traumatized, and her memories returned instantly.
Feng Jiakang's situation was unique. Immersed in the green liquid, his mind seemed to be in chaos. He was completely dazed and kept asking Sihai and Siyue whether he was a man or a woman. In the end, he even collapsed to his knees, clutching his chest and wailing, "Am I a transvestite?"
Si Hai had no interest in ignoring his eccentric friend, and under everyone's expectant gaze, he took out a light bulb from his spatial storage.
The surroundings remained as quiet as ever.
The group stared at each other, feeling inexplicably frustrated.
Although this place of death may seem safe, they have already explored almost every possible location. If they are still searching, they might be trapped in an endless cycle, never finding the right way out.
The thought of this made everyone uneasy!
