Someone asked: “How many times is this?”
Following that, someone said, “182 times. We have repeated these carriages 182 times. I recorded it.”
“Ahhhhh!” Luo Feng scratched his hair in misery, “I’m going to go crazy!”
“I’m the one who is about to be crazy, alright?” Ah Lan shook his pocket and counted the keys. He looked at the door to the carriage in front of him, frowned, and asked, “What is the carriage number to this door?”
“No.4.” Among the people who followed behind, one of them answered Ah Lan’s question.
Feng Yulan turned back and found that it was Xing Yan who had opened his mouth. Now Xing Yan had been reduced to being a babysitter. After opening nearly 50 doors, the child finally could not stand it. He started to get angry and would not get down once he climbed onto Xing Yan’s body. In the face of the child, oh, Xing Yan’s character and temper were unexpectedly good. He did not complain at all. He did not complain that he was tired when he held the little brat throughout the whole journey.
Abyss slept in Xing Yan’s arms heartlessly. He comfortably had a sweet sleep. It looked like he could not be more comfortable. Occasionally, Xing Yan would hold him as he sat on the sofa, and the child would subconsciously arch into his arms. So when no one saw him, Xing Yan would inch closer to kiss him on the forehead.
Other than Xing Yan, who was being a babysitter and taking care of the child, the rest of the people began to open the door in turns, 50 doors a person. It was not known how many loops they had been through, but anyway, it was Feng YuLan’s turn.
It was not hard to open the door, but mainly…… to do something monotonous hundreds and thousands of times, anyone would feel irritated.
Anyway, Feng YuLan was extremely irritated now.
He took out the key to carriage No.4, put it in the palm of his hand, clasped his hands together devoutly, and began to pray, hoping that the gods would bless him.
It was not only him who did this. After several loops, everyone began to pray for the gods’ blessing. Even if he knew that there were no gods in the world, he would put the key in his hand and make a praying action before opening the door.
But most of the time, it did not have much effect. The door that opened was still that door. The scene behind the door had been repeatedly seen by them so many times that they could already recall everything. Therefore, this prayer was only a psychological comfort to them.
Ah Lan thought it would be the same this time. When he finished praying, he took the key to carriage No.4 to open the fourth door. When he opened the door, he did not even react. He naturally raised his foot to enter the door because in his impression, carriage No.4 was still carriage No.4, and there were no other changes&#k2026;&#k2026; Until Duan Li, standing next to him, immediately stretched out his hand and held him back.
“Wait a minute…!” Duan Li grabbed Ah Lan’s arm and dragged him to his side. Ah Lan staggered and remained unresponsive. As he swayed backwards, one of Duan Li’s hands stretched out and pushed him into his embrace.
The warm, familiar, but strange scent caused goosebumps to surface all over Ah Lan’s body when he was nestled in the other man’s embrace. He wanted to break free, but Duan Li, who was given an inch, wanted a foot and hugged him with both hands. Duan Li whispered in his ear, voice trembling, “Look!”
All of them followed as the voice instructed as they looked through familiar door No.4, but they did not see the familiar scene of another train car behind it—
It could be described as shocking: behind door No.4 was a noisy street view! It was a sunny street with asphalt roads, brick pavements, and both new and old houses littered around.
Next to the street was a neat line of trees taken care of by the sanitization department, vehicles on the road, and people who were scattered everywhere, walking as if in a hurry. Through the mottled shadows of the trees, sunlight flowed through door No.4, shining on the faces of Ah Lan and company.
“Success…” Ah Lan murmured to himself, “We succeeded.”
Victory came so unexpectedly that it caught them off guard.
Even Xing Yan was stunned for a long time before he remembered to wake up the child in his arms. However, when he lowered his head down, it was not known when the child had already woken up and turned his head along with him to gaze at the sun that was shining gaily outside.
“It’s sunshine,” Abyss said, “I don’t know how long I haven’t seen it.”
This sentence made Xing Yan’s heart ache. Not a violent sort of aching, but the kind of vague pain that caused him to feel restless.
It was not that he had never seen the sun, but all the light he felt before this moment seemed grey. He could not see the warmth of the light and the hope brought by the light.
Everything would cause him to feel lonely, so what was the difference between having light and not having light?
Abyss climbed out of Xing Yan’s arms. He looked at the group of hesitant people and took the lead in stepping through door No.4. Placing his body under the sunshine of the street outside, he turned back and said with a smile to Xing Yan and company: “Come, let’s continue forward.”
When everyone walked out of the train secret chamber that would continuously loop around, unknowingly, their bodies relaxed. Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had broken free from locks and shackles and their bodies had now become so light that they could float along with a gust of wind.
This group of people filed out from door No.4, and after they came out, they sat in the streets. They were dressed strangely, but interestingly, none of the people in the streets turned their heads to look at them.
“This shouldn’t be whatever reality we are in.” Noting that the crowd on the street turned a blind eye to the several of them, Abyss thought of something and said to several members of his team, “You should be careful. We may be under siege soon.”
Several people had not recovered their memory, and they were obviously still in a state of confusion. However, previously, in the train secret chamber, as they were in the process of opening the door repeatedly, Abyss had already explained to them the situation.
“I’m your teammate.” Abyss felt that he still had to explain it, so he repeated, “Whether you remember it or not, just follow me.”
Ah Lan raised his hand and asked, “Where should we go?”
“Well…” Abyss looked around. “The goal is to go to the center of the city, but before that, I’m going to do something big.”
“Something big?” Everyone subconsciously tilted their heads, as curious as babies.
Abyss took a deep breath and felt how heavy his heart had gotten.
In fact, Abyss had made all the preparations he could think of. However, when it came to the point where he had to release all restraints and actually act, he actually felt the long-lost emotion of fear.
Do not cower. I cannot cower.
Abyss led the group of people to a remote place first. People were coming and going in the streets. However, it was like they were blind and did not see them. Therefore, it was convenient for them to act.
They went through the streets and alleys, and after that they were taken by Abyss to an underground parking lot of a shopping mall. There were only a few cars in the parking lot. Abyss looked around and did not see any people. He thought that this should be it and began to command his group of team members.
“We’re going to do some horrible deeds now.” Student Abyss solemnly said, “You guys—try to close the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot and tie up the extra people inside.”
The group of people looked at each other, but they did not even open their mouths to ask more. Duan Li, Xing Yan, and company were already very skillful at doing horrible deeds. Ah Lan was only slightly troubled about it, but thereafter, he distributed everyone’s tasks and began acting. Interestingly, although they all had no memories, they could basically withdraw their weapons automatically.
The punishment chamber was a very special chamber, especially the train secret chamber, which was infinitely looping. The secret chamber would confiscate all props and carry-on secret chamber, including clothes and equipment. At the same time, the secret chamber’s will would temporarily seal the players’ weapons and make them unable to use their own weapons.
Players’ weapons were an exception. They could not be confiscated because players’ weapons could be stored inside the players’ bodies by combining man and sword. The secret chamber could not confiscate them, but they could be restricted temporarily.
However, when the team of people came out of the punishment room, this restriction would not exist here. Even though their memory had not been restored for the time being, they all spontaneously took out weapons to use them instinctively. Thus, a fantastic scene occurred.
The group of people began to take over the cold but large underground parking lot by brute force. They closed the gates at the entrance and exit, locked the door of the stairwell, and knocked all ordinary people unconscious and tied them up.
At the same time, Abyss also used brute force to push all the vehicles in the parking lot to a corner to clear a very large area. Then, Abyss felt that it was almost time. He changed his weapon into Xing Yan’s spatial blade and began to carve a huge transmission array on the ground with this knife.
Xing Yan himself probably did not know that his weapon could be used in this way.
Of course, different individuals had their different ways of using weapons.
After the transmission array was drawn, Abyss thought it almost done. He inserted his blade in the center of the transmission array. Then he went out of range of the transmission array, and the circular transmission array began to glow.
The rest of the people had already accomplished their tasks. They could not help but look around, and Ah Lan could not help asking, “What’s that for?”
“It’s for recruiting people to help us.” Abyss answered that way.
As soon as the Abyss’s voice fell, the light of the transmission array became resplendent. The color of the light was like a flame which immediately lit up the surroundings. Soon, figures began to appear in the transmission array, and the first one appeared—
“Oh! Luo Jian, you’ve come to find me.” Ying came out of the transmission array with a spear in his hand and held it on his shoulder.
“You came out?” Abyss saw this man and unconsciously frowned. If Ying came out of Asura Realm, was Asura Realm about to collapse?
“Of course I came out.” Ying’s expression looked as if it was right and natural for him to be here, “This is the final decisive battle. No matter what the outcome is, I do not want to continue to be an ostrich.”
“You are abandoning Asura Realm?” Abyss could not help laughing.
Ying grinned, “I’m abandoning it and going to make a bigger one in the future.”
In addition to Ying, various figures began to appear in the transmission array. They were almost all people who followed comrade Ying out of Asura Realm. In fact, Abyss knew everyone.
