The Labyrinth of the Monsters-Chapter 56 – Fog

Everyone was stunned.

"What do you mean?" Gao Yang didn't understand. "What do you mean by no other cities?"

"Haha, you fool." Wu Dahai enjoyed Gao Yang's surprised reaction. "It means exactly what it says."

"Most of you grew up outside the city, right?" White Rabbit smiled. "Have you ever left this city? I'm not talking about the suburbs or countryside, I mean truly leaving this city."

Everyone fell silent.

Officer Huang put down his chopsticks. "I graduated from the police academy and have been working at the police station. I had two opportunities to study in other provinces before, but for some reasons, I couldn't go."

Gao Yang took a deep breath, recalling a well-known movie. "The World of Real Men?"

For a moment, everyone gasped.

Only Chubby Jun didn't understand and quickly took out his phone to search. After a while, he exclaimed, "What the f*ck! This...this...is too unbelievable!"

"Unfortunately," White Rabbit tilted her head and smiled helplessly, "beasts with a power level of 4 million and humans with less than 400 are the main components of our world."

"But this doesn't make sense," Gao Yang tried to recall. "My dad accompanied clients abroad and went to the seaside. There are many photos, and if there is only one city, how can this world operate so realistically..."

White Rabbit didn't rush to answer Gao Yang. Instead, she asked, "You should have seen the boundary of Ancient Village in the underground world before, right?"

"Yes." Officer Huang remembered it vividly. "No matter how we walked, we couldn't get out. It was incredible, like a magic barrier."

"The outskirts of the city are also surrounded by such boundaries. The awakened beings have been trying to find an exit, but haven't found one yet." White Rabbit changed the topic. "However, there are official channels in this city."

"Official channels?"

"Yes, planes, high-speed trains, and highways can take you to other places, but those places are also large areas with boundaries. Don't even think about getting off midway. Many awakened beings have tried, and some even wanted to get off the plane midway." White Rabbit crossed her arms. "But they all failed, it's impossible."

White Rabbit turned to Gao Yang. "Your dad went abroad by plane, right?"

"Yes." Gao Yang tried to understand. "Are you saying that we can't leave this city on foot, but we can take a plane to New Eldorf. However, during the flight, we can't get off the plane, even if I'm a flying superhero."

"Yes." White Rabbit nodded. "There is no middle area. Even if it seems to exist, it's just an illusion. Of course, there is another possibility that the middle area exists, but it's not open to anyone or any beast."

Wu Dahai interrupted again, he had the right to speak on this matter. "I've been to New Eldorf several times. I even explored it specifically, and I quickly found its boundary. It's much smaller than the outskirts of the city."

White Rabbit leisurely ate her food, giving everyone some time to digest the information.

One minute later, she cleared her throat. "Now, please listen carefully and try to understand. First of all, forget everything you learned from the geography textbook."

"Now, close your eyes and imagine our world as a vast ocean. Floating on this ocean are many, many islands. Some islands are very large, like the city we live in, with a population of 4 million, of which only a little over 400 are humans, and the rest are cute little creatures..."

"Cute little creatures?" Chubby Jun interrupted.

"Slang, cute little creatures refer to beasts." Wu Dahai explained.

White Rabbit raised her chopsticks and continued, "Some islands are very small, like the one you just mentioned, New Eldorf.""All the isolated islands can only be reached through the 'official channel'. However, no creature can enter the sea. At most, you can walk on the beach and take a look, but what you see is nothing more than the fog on the sea. What's in the fog, no one knows. As for how this world came into being, what its past, present, and future are like, no one knows either."

"This is insane," Officer Huang took a deep puff of his cigarette, "Absolutely insane!"

Gao Yang was utterly shocked. This completely overturned his understanding. What kind of world had he time-traveled to?

Chubby Jun clutched his hair, on the verge of a mental breakdown.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

Only Qing Ling didn't care, she was only concerned about leveling up.

"It's indeed hard to accept, but this is our current situation." White Rabbit was about to say something else when the waiter brought up the spicy rabbit head. She was overjoyed, "Wu Dahai, it's your turn!"

In the white plate were two rabbit heads, roasted to a bright red and sprinkled with chili and Sichuan peppercorns. From the looks of it, it was downright cruel.

White Rabbit's eyes sparkled. She didn't use chopsticks, but grabbed the rabbit head with both hands and started gnawing. As she chewed, spicy juice dripped from the corners of her mouth, and the crunching sound was loud and clear. Her eating style was so bold that it was like watching a different person.

Everyone collectively enjoyed the "White Rabbit eating rabbit head" performance for a while before Wu Dahai casually took over the conversation, "Where were we?"

"The twelve rune circuits are very precious," Gao Yang said.

"Ah yes, all the awakened beings are fighting for them. Our organization has already obtained the 'Life' rune circuit, which is why Little Lamb and Dead Pig were able to break through to level 4," Wu Dahai said proudly, lowering his voice, "We got another one today. We'll know its attribute once we study it."

Wu Dahai glanced at Qing Ling, "I don't think it's an element, it doesn't feel like it. Your metal talent probably won't be able to level up to 4."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Qing Ling's eyes. She lost interest in the conversation and started eating her own spicy rabbit head.

"Have all twelve rune circuits been found?" Gao Yang asked.

"Impossible! Including this one, only six have been found so far," Wu Dahai said, "The other four are in the hands of other organizations, and everyone is treating them like treasures."

"Where are the remaining rune circuits?" Gao Yang asked.

"I'm not sure," White Rabbit, who had finished most of her rabbit head, her mouth was red from the spiciness, looking as if she had put on lipstick.

She savored the taste while sucking on her thumb and index finger, "If it weren't for an awakened being who accidentally discovered the first rune circuit 20 years ago, no one would have known about such a thing."

"Anyway, the rune circuits are all hidden. They might be in some special domains, on a beast, or gathering dust in an antique shop. There's no pattern to follow. Ever since the first rune circuit was discovered, the awakened beings have been frantically exploring this city. The conflicts and deaths also started to escalate from then on."

White Rabbit finally finished the whole rabbit head. She wiped her mouth contentedly, "Alright, the basic information is over. Now let's review the 'Ancient Village Operation' with you."
