Chapter 112.
As if there was a program error, a bowl of dark green viscous soup appeared in Tang En's mind, and the strange taste memory began to revive.
The world before my eyes began to distort, and in this chaos, an extremely clear yet illogical path quietly emerged.
Without giving it much thought, Tang En almost instinctively took that path.
Every step he took took him further away from the world that rejected him.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly became less solid, as if being pulled away by an invisible force. Then, Tang En found that he had completely left that familiar yet dangerous world.
The scene unfolding before my eyes was neither a dream nor reality, but a strange and pure space - a maze of pure white and nothingness.
This maze has no boundaries, no end, only endless passages and corners. They are arranged in an indescribable pattern, but it does not seem to be possible for any human design.
There was an elusive sense of nothingness in the air. Apart from Tang En's own breathing and footsteps, there was no sound and no sign of life.
He seemed to have become a bug that should not exist under the rules of this world, and was accidentally thrown into this unknown area.
At first, Tang En was filled with panic and fear. He tried to find a way out, but found himself as if being pulled by an invisible force, wandering in the maze.
Time loses its meaning here, and every second feels like a part of eternity.
He felt neither tired nor hungry, only the panic in his heart gradually rose like a tide, drowning him.
Tang En began to wonder whether he would be trapped in this endless maze forever, and where were his teammates, those partners who once fought side by side with him?
After countless attempts and explorations, Tang En had walked through almost every corner of the maze, and every route was deeply engraved in his mind.
He even found his lost Scepter of Blessing, Tang Yu's backpack, Tang Yu's scarf, and other things of his teammates in the maze.
This maze has stripped the teammates of all their props. Only their stuff is here, but where are they?
Tang En searched countless times, but the exit of the maze was still out of reach and there was no sign of other people either.
An unknown amount of time had passed. Tang En began to lose count of the eternity he had spent in this maze. Time had smoothed out almost all of his emotions, and he no longer felt that fear.
Tang En finally realized that his escape from the fictional world in the maze might have been caused by his own skills.
Break the routine!
He is indeed a bug in this maze!
His teammates are still in the maze, or perhaps they are right next to him, but he can't see them at all!
Tang En began to count silently, using the imaginary time unit in his mind to measure the passing "years".
One minute, one hour, one day, one month, one year, and even ten years... These numbers became the only comfort in his lonely journey, but also endless torture.
As time went by, Tang En found himself starting to change.
His body gradually became transparent, just like the fate of becoming invisible that he had faced countless times in that previous world.
Fear gripped his throat again, and he realized that if he didn't do something, he would completely disappear into this nothingness.
In desperation, Tang En opened the backpack that belonged to Tang Yu, which contained five B-level skill-enhancing items.
When Tang Yu was using the props, Ning Xuanqing accidentally discovered the monster hidden in her body.
Because of this episode and subsequent unexpected situations, these B-level skill-enhancing items were shelved.
Tang En used all his skill-enhancing items without hesitation, silently saying in his heart: "No matter what the result is, I have to give it a try."
As balls of light merged into his body, the names of Tang En's skills began to change.
Accident--impermanence.
It actually got upgraded once!
At the same time, Tang En also felt the experience that Tian Xun had experienced after the extreme enhancement. He felt that as long as his skills were enhanced once more, he would be able to enter another realm.
There is one last power-up item left.
But if it is true as Tian Xun said, everyone's skills are limited by shortcomings. If that shortcoming is not made up, then even if Tang En uses more skill-enhancing props, it will be useless.
But he could never break through that layer of window paper, and he was just a little bit away from the last step.
Did it fail?
With Tang En's current abilities, it is impossible for him to break the rules of the maze, and his "accident" cannot break through the limitations of the maze.
What should I do? What should I do?
Tang En's panic, which had been worn out by the eternal stagnation of time in the labyrinth, reappeared, and he felt the despair after his hopes were dashed.
Just a little bit!
Tang En held his head in frustration. He could even almost see that the next stage of impermanence was - fate!
wrong!
Why can he see?!
Tang En looked up suddenly, and a tremor of excitement spread throughout his body.
There is hope! There is still hope!
He can see the last stage!
The realm called destiny!
Why was it that when Tian Xun and Li Jia reached this stage as well, they were unable to glimpse the last realm?
Tang En boldly guessed that perhaps there was something special about his skills.
After the name of impermanence, there is still the same sentence: breaking the rules is your mission!
Break the routine!
Because he broke the rules, Tang En had the opportunity to enter the final realm!
Tang En took a deep breath, picked up the last skill-enhancing item, closed his eyes and prayed silently for a while.
Fate has never been kind to him, but this time he wants to take a chance.
The B-level skill enhancement item turned into light and merged into Tang En's body. The skill named Impermanence slowly dissipated and finally condensed into fate.
At the same time as the skill name changed, Tang En could clearly sense that the "shortcoming" that limited his ability had not actually been made up.
The reason why his ability has reached the ultimate stage of destiny is just a forced improvement. He may fall back to a lower level at any time, or even lose his life.
It was also because of this that Tang En did not see any skill suffix after the skill belonging to Destiny.
But his eyes seemed to be replaced by an invisible force. Cold lines emerged from his pupils and intertwined, eventually turning into slowly rotating gears.
Tang En could feel an unprecedented power surging in his body.
The gears in his eyes turned slowly, but the speed at which his body became virtual was visibly accelerating. This body could not withstand the overly powerful energy, and the end result was continuous disintegration.
Tang En's inhuman eyes looked at his body and nodded in understanding.
It turns out that the skill can never overcome the final obstacle because of the limit of the body's endurance. That is the real secret of the "shortcoming"!
It seems that he doesn't have much time left!
Tang En slowly stood up and looked again at the exit that he had tried to pass through countless times but failed.
This time, the exit of the maze changed in his eyes. It was no longer a cold wall, but a portal flashing with the light of hope.
He knew that he had made the right bet and had finally found a way to leave the maze.
Tang En simply marked the direction of the exit and turned to walk deeper into the maze. He didn't have much time and needed to find his teammates as soon as possible!
As his body became weaker, Tang En felt a little weak and had to rely on the blessed scepter in his hand for support.
He needs to find Tang Yu as soon as possible.
The reason why he chose to rescue Tang Yu first was the result of Tang En's careful consideration, and it was also the best answer that fate told him.
However, the process of finding Tang Yu was extremely difficult, as if fate had deliberately set up many obstacles.
In order to determine the direction, Tang En had to turn the gears of fate again and again, and each turn was accompanied by huge consumption.
Finally, in an inconspicuous corner of the maze, Tang En sensed the secret passage leading to where Tang Yu was.
Tang En walked towards the white wall, the gears in his eyes turned faster, and the barrier of the maze was broken.
The empty white disappeared before my eyes, and buildings belonging to the human world appeared.
Tang En did not notice Tang Yu's trace at the first time. In front of him was a thick cement wall.
A high wall blocked the way, but Tang En passed through it like a ghost.
Only after passing through the wall was Tang En able to see the name of the building.
Lingxiang Orphanage.
The orphanage was surrounded by tall walls with electrified barbed wire, and the main gate was locked with a thick iron door.
Compared to an ordinary orphanage, this orphanage looks more like a prison.
It seemed to be noon at this time. The children and adults in the orphanage were having lunch. No one noticed Tang En's appearance.
Tang En had no time to appreciate the layout of the orphanage. He quickly moved between the rooms while sensing Tang Yu's location.
After passing through a wall, Tang En bumped head-on into a child in the room.
The little girl was a head shorter than Tang En and was rinsing her mouth with a glass of water in her hand.
The moment she saw Tang En, the little girl was dumbfounded and the water in her mouth just flowed down.
Tang En apologized and picked up the towel beside him to wipe the water stains for her, "Sorry, I scared you."
The little girl was not afraid at all. After being stunned for a few seconds, she grinned with her missing tooth: "Brother, are you Superman? It's amazing, you can walk through walls!"
Tang En pulled up his sleeves to cover his translucent arms and said with a smile: "Just treat me as Superman. Can I ask you a question?"
The little girl nodded vigorously.
Tang En asked, "Do you know Tang Yu?"
"Tang Yu..."
The little girl looked up with a bit of fear in her eyes, and answered in a low voice: "Everyone says she is a bad girl, always doing strange things. Today she pushed her playmate down the stairs, and then the dean put her in solitary confinement."
Tang En's brows were furrowed, and he felt mixed emotions, but he just touched the little girl's head and said, "Thank you, she is actually a very good person. I will find her."
After saying goodbye to the little girl, Tang En passed through one iron gate after another, bypassed one surveillance camera after another, and finally arrived at the tightly closed door of the confinement room. The chain and alarm system on the door seemed non-existent to him.
Tang En passed through the door easily, and then he found that the layout behind the door was more like a laboratory than a confinement room.
The lights in the laboratory were dim, and various strange-shaped instruments emitted a faint light. The pungent smell in the air made Tang En frown.
He covered his mouth and nose while carefully moving between these dangerous instruments.
Until he saw Tang Yu.
