Chapter 88 Rubik's Cube City
Illusion.
Luo Huayi tried to comfort herself.
This should be the same as the previous storyline space, still an illusion.
This illusion was simply larger in scale than the previous smaller-scale ones.
There's nothing to be afraid of, as long as we find the other main character who will be drawn into this plot.
Xin Que.
The moment Luo Huayi rushed into the mall entrance, her feet slipped and she lost her footing.
The open ground beneath their feet was like a Rubik's Cube being twisted, being moved to other places by a tremendous force.
The world turned upside down in an instant.
Before Luo Huayi could react, he was swept away by the unpredictable and dizzying turn of events. He lost his footing and plummeted from the ground into the night sky.
The two statues remained unmoved.
But at some point, they stood on either side of the city, their figures magnified to the point of obscuring the sky, coldly watching Luo Huayi fall from the upside-down city into the dark night sky.
Luo Huayi's eyes widened.
It's over.
No matter how much he tried to comfort himself, he could tell that these two eerie and terrifying statues wanted to kill him.
The city overhead is still changing shape.
But beneath him, the biting wind howled, and the night sky offered no refuge...
Luo Huayi tried to reach out and grab the city that was getting further and further away from her, but it was all in vain.
Utter despair.
...
Xin Que coldly watched as Xin Xin, following her instructions, plunged the blade into Song Wenxian's chest.
Song Wenxian looked incredulous, her lips parting and closing, blood gushing out from the cut.
"I did it..." Xin Xin's eyes were filled with madness as she turned and roared at Xin Que's disguised identity, "I did it!!!"
“So,” she glanced cautiously at Sang Xing, who rushed over to support Song Wenxian and looked shocked, then forced herself to lower her voice, “you can’t reveal that I hired someone!”
Xin Que's attention was only on Sang Xing, whose hands were trembling as he dialed 120 on his phone, and on Song Wenxian, whose pupils were already dilated.
The plot didn't bother her.
Despite losing too much blood, Song Wenxian showed no signs of her wounds healing or being moved.
Sang Xing's desperate cries for help, Song Wenxian's heavy breathing due to excessive blood loss, and Xin Xin's frantic questioning mingled in the empty factory, creating even more chaos.
Xin Que ignored the chaotic scene and kept her gaze fixed on Song Wenxian's face.
The man's breathing grew weaker and weaker.
Song Wenxian stared wide-eyed, his chest ceasing to rise and fall.
No solution has yet been found to salvage the situation.
Just as Xin Que was about to step towards Song Wenxian, the sound of a bell ringing on the hour came from afar, and her feet suddenly lost their footing.
Unlike the feeling of the previous spatial collapse, the earth-shaking sensation coming from the factory this time felt more like the vibrations caused by a purposeful movement.
As Xin Que fell, she reacted quickly and grabbed the thin wall beside her.
Using the support of her arms, she propped herself up and stood on the wall, which had been turned around, barely managing to steady herself.
The space is still changing.
It's not just a collapse...
Xin Que slowly stood up. The broken and collapsed factory had been mostly destroyed by a strange force. She looked at the exposed night sky, and the collapse behind her was still continuing.
Xin Que decisively ran towards the support point of the wall that had not yet collapsed.
When she landed on a beam again, Xin Que looked at the night view of the factory surrounding her and finally realized that someone was controlling her position in the space.
Xin Que looked up and his expression gradually became serious when he saw the solemn and dignified features of the God of Slaughter and the Bodhisattva statue looking down at him.
[Even in hell, his soul continues to commit evil deeds...]
[Your sins are grave... You shall be handed over to King Qin Guang in the First Palace for personal trial and sentencing...]
The voice must have come from inside the statue; it was devoid of emotion, only conveying a sense of oppression.
Evil deeds?
Xin Que immediately thought of Song Wenxian.
She didn't let these strange events disrupt her rhythm of movement, and quickly leaped to another foothold that hadn't collapsed yet.
The two statues' gazes remained firmly fixed on him.
So, it was her act of exploiting a plot hole to kill Song Wenxian that alerted the prison's surveillance system?
Unfortunately, her understanding of mental prisons is currently only superficial...
Xin Que's mind raced as she tried to understand her current predicament.
The building beneath our feet is collapsing faster and faster.
So, where exactly is the key to breaking this deadlock?!
Soon, the factory collapse suddenly stopped. Then, the entire city seemed to be rapidly twisted and turned like a Rubik's Cube, with streets, high-rise buildings, bungalows, and shopping malls crisscrossing quickly, giving Xin Que no time to react.
Heaven and earth turned upside down at the same time.
Caught off guard, Xin Que was thrown from the city into the night sky, and immediately opened her eyes wide.
[Entangled in evil deeds, he was sent to the Second Court of Judicial Review...]
As Xin Que fell to a certain point in mid-air, she noticed something.
Turning around, she met the gaze of Luo Huayi, who had fallen to the ground by mistake.
Before Luo Huayi could ask Xin Que what was going on, Xin Que grabbed her wrist with lightning speed.
Only then did Luo Huayi realize that the two had fallen in completely opposite directions, one upwards and the other downwards.
Looking up again, the two seemed trapped in a vast space with no way out, the city as the boundary, and the night sky as the filling material within that boundary.
"What on earth is going on?!" Luo Huayi gripped Xin Que's wrist tightly to prevent herself from being pulled away by the distorted gravity. "This isn't a masterpiece of the plot space, is it?!"
The enormous statue outside the space continued to stare intently at them, as if they were insects in the palm of someone's hand.
Xin Que withdrew her gaze from the statue and turned to look at Luo Huayi, whom she had been holding.
If the spatial distortion was an execution targeting only Xin Que, then why was Luo Huayi involved?
"Did the statue send you any message?" Xin Que's head was throbbing from the wind whistling past her ears, so she could only ask Luo Huayi loudly.
"It's not a statue, it's Xuanqing..." Luo Huayi tried hard to recall, "They said this place is the Hell Path, and their duty is..."
"jailer."
Xin Que's gaze towards Luo Huayi changed.
If Luo Huayi's identity is also that of a prison guard...
That makes sense.
Why is Xin Que's script a detailed explanation of various forms of abuse? Why does she suffer all sorts of punishments when she goes against the plot and even tries to get rid of Luo Huayi?
Even more so, why is Luo Huayi now facing the same predicament as her?
This execution was not only aimed at Xin Que, the prisoner, but also at Luo Huayi, who, in "their" eyes, was a fellow criminal who neglected his duties and allowed Xin Que to kill the character.
wrong.
Those important characters who can keep resurrecting...
Was she also one of the people sent by this prison to suppress her?
Luo Huayi didn't understand why Xin Que could still laugh even though they were all so trapped by the plot.
"You know how to get out of this predicament?!" Luo Huayi was chilled by the strange, twisted smile in the woman's eyes and shouted at her.
“Not only can we get out of this predicament…” Xin Que connected all the information and suddenly exerted force in his arm, “we can even outmaneuver them.”
Luo Huayi was taken aback.
who are they?
...
【_alarm----】
[Class A criminal Song Wenxian is brain dead.]
[Class A criminal Song Wenxian is brain dead.]
[Grade A...]
The monitoring system has identified the root cause of the crime.
[The middle-level manager in charge of AI, "Qin Guangwang," applied for the authority to adjudicate and impose penalties.]
[Administrator AI approved the application.]
The glaring red warnings kept refreshing and overlapping, and soon covered the entire floating screen.
The engineer and prison guard rushed over from the monitoring room.
"What happened?!" The prison guard grabbed the communicator and asked the prison doctor about the situation. "How did Song Wenxian suddenly become brain dead?"
Is there any chance of saving him?
The prison doctor's somber voice came from the other end of the communicator, accompanied by a video showing the dimly lit scene inside the restraint pod: "The spiritual entity has perished, and the associated physical body has also completely lost vital signs..."
"It's hopeless."
