"...Why are you swearing?"
Mo Shuwan was also startled by the sound of the bell, but her attention was quickly drawn away by the warm currents surging from all directions. The warm currents enveloped her in the blink of an eye, and strands of black grime emerged from her pores.
Mo Shuwan looked at the black grime on the back of her hand, feeling both amused and exasperated.
The slowly decreasing warm current is probably similar to the effect of a marrow cleansing potion, expelling the hidden toxins from the body and even expanding the meridians. The most obvious benefit is that she feels her hands are full of power, and she vaguely has the idea that she can kill a monster with one punch.
Logically, Mo Shuwan had chosen a room on the sixteenth floor, which meant she couldn't go any further. However, after tentatively taking another step forward, she actually managed to climb up.
Passengers in the lobby, craning their necks to see this, immediately cursed under their breath, "Isn't this going too far by using connections?"
"All I want to know right now is her background, what makes her able to keep climbing the ladder at a time like this, and why she doesn't even try to hide it."
"...It's as if another big shot has been born."
Although the passengers were complaining, they immediately went to the forum to gather information. Unfortunately, Mo Shuwan and her companions were just ordinary people who had traveled from one world to another, and they couldn't find any relevant information on the forum. Moreover, everyone on the forum used nicknames.
However, some passengers discovered some clues. For example, they found the post that Xiaolian had posted and the post that Mo Shuwan had posted. They recalled that when Lin Yu met Mo Shuwan before, he also called her "little cutie" and he also said that they met on the forum.
And so, little by little, Mo Shuwan's alternate accounts on the forum were exposed, and then a post about her by a passenger after the fifth mission world was also found.
If they hadn't dug deeper, things would have been fine. But once they did, the passengers discovered that Mo Shuwan was just an ordinary person, nothing more than that, without any of the terrifying background they had imagined. But then...
By this time, Mo Shuwan had reached the twentieth floor. The passengers below could no longer see her clearly, so they all climbed the stairs. However, they were restricted by the floors they had chosen and could not go any further. Only the new passengers followed Mo Shuwan up the stairs without stopping.
Among them, the passenger with the forum nickname "I Don't Want to Become a Corpse" was the most active. He chose the 30th floor, which was more than enough to keep up with Mo Shuwan. However, he didn't dare to make any noise after he came up, for fear of affecting Mo Shuwan.
As time passed, Mo Shuwan's name rose on the stone tablet at an alarming speed. Most of the passengers had already returned to their rooms, and those who hadn't paid attention to the stone tablet before all began to focus their attention on it.
In a certain part of this huge plaza filled with time-travel buses, several cloaked figures silently faced the building where Mo Shuwan and her group were located.
A moment later, someone said, "Are you sure it's her?"
The cloaked figure standing at the very edge nodded. In fact, all the cloaked figures were dressed exactly the same, but they all had a strange quality. If Mo Shuwan were here now, she would definitely recognize that the cloaked figure who had just nodded was the one who had tested her in the game world and then saved her again in the dark world.
"Once it's decided, it can never be changed. You only have one chance."
"Sure."
"good."
After standing there for a moment, the cloaked figures disappeared. Mo Shuwan had already reached the twenty-third floor. No passengers in the building had returned to their rooms; they wanted to see just how far she could go.
Even the new passengers who had just arrived, after learning the whole story, excitedly chose to stay and follow Mo Shuwan.
Among these people were two faces that were somewhat familiar to Mo Shuwan and her group.
Wan Sheng looked up at Mo Shuwan for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "It's Mo Shuwan."
"Hmm." Qin Liu responded and then fell silent. He exuded a dejected aura, and even when he learned that the person who had attracted attention was someone he knew, he was not moved. He pushed aside the passengers blocking his way and found the stairs leading to his room.
Now, apart from Mo Shuwan's place, the rest of the staircases have become ordinary staircases. Qin Liu and Wan Sheng quickly climbed to their floors. Before entering their rooms, they turned to look at Mo Shuwan, then found Wen Zuo and the others, their eyes flashing with murderous intent.
By the time she reached the 32nd floor, Mo Shuwan was covered in black grime from head to toe.
Thump—
Thump—
The bell rang twice this time.
Lin Yu clicked his tongue lightly, "The little cutie has climbed to the thirty-second floor. Judging from the situation, she might be able to reach the top floor."
"Reaching the top floor is not a good thing."
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. With your abilities, my little cutie is more than capable of handling those crises."
The young man, who had already lain down to rest, glanced at Lin Yu but didn't say anything more.
Mo Shuwan continued upwards. As the filth was expelled from her pores, she felt her body becoming lighter and lighter, and her climbing speed increased significantly. However, she was somewhat confused because the higher she went, the weaker the pressure she felt. This made it difficult for her to discern whether it was because the monitoring jade pendant was working or if the pressure at the top was actually less.
When Mo Shuwan reached the forty-seventh floor, three bells rang. The new passengers were excited and proud that Mo Shuwan had been able to climb to such a high place, while some of the older passengers had strange expressions on their faces. It was unclear what they were thinking, but several passengers who had been tense relaxed completely at this moment.
"It's time to go and take a look..."
At this moment, many of the veteran passengers left their rooms. When they saw each other outside, they exchanged knowing glances before continuing to walk toward the plaza where countless time-travel buses were parked.
Zheng Shanhe, who was alone in his room, sighed.
Zheng Shanhe: Something unexpected is about to happen, and you should all be careful, especially since it involves Mo Shuwan.
