Chapter 4 Entering the Secret Realm
The boy's figure gradually disappeared into the dense jungle.
The faint shouts of caravans could be heard coming from the direction they had come from.
Hua Xian turned her head to look at Feng Twelve, who had been left behind: "Kid, shall we go back?"
Feng Shier lowered his eyes and quietly followed behind him.
Hua Xian didn't care much about the child's indifferent attitude. Judging from the sound, Uncle Wu and the others were very close by, and the child wouldn't get lost on such a short distance.
So he didn't notice the dark gaze of the demon cub behind him.
Feng Shier glanced down at his hands, where deep marks were visible on his palms from clenching his fists.
Even though they knew it would be dangerous.
Why... do I still feel resentful?
He wanted to go with his brother.
It's my brother, isn't it? He admitted it.
He murmured to himself, "If you're not dead, you must come find me."
I've remembered it.
On the other side, Su Yu was strolling leisurely alone, under the system's monitoring.
He had gone even deeper into the forest.
[This is it! Host, host, look at that ancient snake tree! The entrance to the secret realm is now here!]
Upon hearing this, Su Yu looked up and saw that the tree was actually quite slender and short compared to the towering trees around it. At first glance, the bark looked like snakes and pythons winding and coiling around it.
The system's voice softened: [Host, touch this tree to enter the secret realm.]
[Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Qi.]
Su Yu paused, then smiled reassuringly at the system: [I will succeed.]
[Ugh... Good luck, host! This useless Time Management Bureau actually wants you to risk your life to get compensation. I'm going to write a report to complain!]
After saying that, the system went silent, and it's unclear whether they actually filed a complaint.
Su Yu took a deep breath, stared at the strangely shaped snake tree for a while, and stepped forward.
A slightly immature hand gently pressed against the rough bark.
The next instant, the snake's eyes lit up, and the snake patterns all over the tree seemed to slowly writhe, as if a swarm of snakes were gradually awakening.
Su Yu's pupils contracted, and then she seemed to be pulled by a tremendous force and slammed into the void behind the tree.
Su Yu gradually regained consciousness amidst a wave of dizziness, and shook her head while clutching it.
"It smells so good! Is this bowl of noodles mine?"
A lively female voice came from behind.
Before Su Yu could even react, she heard her own laughing voice blurt out, "Yes, it's yours. Take it and eat it, be careful it's hot."
Seeing Su Yao eagerly take the noodles out of the kitchen to eat, Su Yu shook her head helplessly and took her own bowl out as well.
It's a simple tomato and egg noodle dish.
Su Yu ate while thinking.
Yes, his cooking skills are as good as ever.
After finishing dinner, Su Yao stretched and leaned back in her chair.
"Sigh... I come home from high school way too late. The headmistress and the others have already finished eating."
Originally, the headmistress wanted to wait for them to come back and then cook them a hot meal, but Su Yu and Su Yao worked together to push her back to rest, assuring her that they could definitely take care of themselves and eat a nutritious and balanced meal.
"Although your cooking is really delicious, it feels so lonely eating just the two of us..."
Su Yu chuckled: "Come on, when we eat together, Xiao Fei and the others will fight with you for the food, and then you'll be unhappy again."
Su Yao retorted confidently, "It's clearly those little brats who eat too much!"
Su Yu chuckled and shook her head: "That's true. Alright, go and rest after you finish eating, we have to get up early tomorrow."
"I've finished eating," Su Yu said, getting up and taking the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them. "Remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating."
As for Su Yao's child's muttered protests against getting up early, Su Yu completely ignored it as background noise.
After all, she had to go to school. Even if she couldn't get up, the headmistress, who valued education highly, would pull off the covers and drag her out of bed.
Yes, going to school. Yao'er is also entering the same high school this year, and they can study at the same school together until he graduates.
Su Yu went back to his room to sleep with a relaxed mood, remembering that his grades had always been good.
The next day, I arrived at school.
After smoothly finding her classroom and sitting down according to her memory, Su Yu's expression gradually went blank and she became numb.
No, did he really learn these things? Why do they feel both familiar and unfamiliar? Luckily, there's no exam today.
No, thankfully it's just a secret realm.
Su Yu thought numbly.
However, this world felt too real. He was completely immersed in it and didn't notice anything amiss.
It was only when I suddenly realized that I was feeling lost in class that I snapped out of my daze, a shock I couldn't believe.
The things they learn in peacetime are indeed quite different from what they learn in the apocalypse.
After discovering that this place was actually a secret realm, Su Yu relaxed completely and even found the lecture quite interesting.
Anyway, he won't be staying here to face all sorts of exams, so it's quite interesting to learn some new knowledge.
He said that how could someone as talented as him not understand after so many lessons? It really is a secret realm.
However, this knowledge is quite systematic and has many similarities to what he learned back then.
Yes, the younger girls here are adorable too, just like the real Xiao Yao who has grown up. And the age difference between them has also decreased.
Su Yu lived a leisurely life in this peaceful modern world, going to and from school and taking care of his younger sister. Even the system seemed to have gone offline. Without the system chattering in his ear urging him to progress the plot, although he wasn't used to it for a while, he was really enjoying himself.
Anyway, according to the system, the flow of time inside is different from that outside, so there's no need to rush out.
The secret realm or illusion is so realistic that it's almost unbelievable. Even the knowledge presented is perfectly logical, and the articles that appear are exceptionally clear and outstanding.
It's possible that they did draw inspiration from data from other worlds; didn't the system say that this secret realm was just for staff to use as a backdoor?
We can't really send him to another world, can we...?
