Chapter 198: Chapter 182: Feng Ling’s Wonderful Adventure

Staring at the light above the stairwell, Feng Ling recalled the fourth rule posted on the notice.

"If you reach the security room door and find only one guard, immediately turn back. Do not stop before you see the green safety sign."

How should I say this...

"How should I cross over to a parallel world with immense power?" Feng Ling wondered deep inside, also questioning the Gaia consciousness.

"Can this elevator really cross over?"

The Gaia consciousness offered no reply.

After all, it didn’t possess true wisdom...

Feng Ling went silent for a moment, then laughed self-deprecatingly, "In the end, one must rely on oneself."

There was no turning back.

Keep moving forward.

She walked up the stairs to the surface.

The warmth of the sunlight kissed her face.

Light always inspires a heartening strength.

It is said that when the sunlight finally vanishes, that is the world’s end.

"I’ll wait a while, let that woman leave the elevator, then try again."

Feng Ling always felt the actions of the woman in red suspicious.

The world was ending because of the Demon God— "It."

Even the existence of this elevator was a derivative of "Its" power.

What was the woman in red, another distortion, doing running into the elevator?

"First possibility, to stop me from calling for help outside?"

"Not necessarily, I’m just a small fry, what merit do I have to attract ’Its’ deep attention?"

"If ’It’ noticed me... I should be dead already"

"It" was unknown.

People only knew that "It" was a collection of rules.

"It" possessed wisdom, but a different kind of wisdom from humans.

"Could it be... could it be that this woman in red also wants to go to a parallel world?" Feng Ling thought of another horrifying possibility, her heart racing.

"It" was not satisfied with devouring just one world.

"It" wanted the red-clad woman to go to other worlds, spreading "Its" power.

"Never mind, this isn’t something I can manage... The Etheric Abyss is so vast, and humans are but struggling ants. Other worlds..."

"Hope next time, I don’t encounter another distortion."

At that moment, Feng Ling saw the security booth around the corner.

Safe at last.

But the very next second, she held her breath!

Her steps halted.

Because there was only one guard in the booth!

The guard was silently watching her.

The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end!

The fourth rule: "If you reach the security room and find only one guard, immediately turn back. Do not stop before you see the green safety sign."

She couldn’t see his face clearly, despite her excellent vision. It was as if a tangle of dark mist hovered over the guard’s head.

The guard noticed her, turned around,

and walked towards her.

Feng Ling’s scalp tingled, she backed away frantically, then broke into a jog.

The guard also started to run,

charging towards her!

Running faster and faster!

Feng Ling was drenched in sweat, biting her lip, sprinting as if her life depended on it.

But the stairway leading underground had disappeared!

Her eyes widened.

Yes, it was gone!

The stairwell had vanished.

Terror shot up her spine and invaded every cell of her body.

"The green safety sign... where is the safety sign? Where!!"

Luckily, she found it.

Somehow, the sign had ended up fifty meters away.

With the fastest sprint of her life, she dashed towards it.

Such was the world of distortions.

What you see, hear, feel, and think might not be the actual reality.

This is a world of despair, where one might slip into madness at any moment.

The "thud thud thud" of her running in the stairway heading underground sounded heavy and loud.

In her panic, Feng Ling glanced back and saw the guard still following her steadily in the dark.

She hurried back to the elevator door and pressed the button.

"Come on, hurry up!"

Hurry!

Hurry!

The elevator door creaked open.

An even more terrifying event unfolded,

the long-haired woman in red was still standing in the corner!

She hadn’t left.

Instead, she trembled like someone with epilepsy, making a "kakaka" sound, her hair obscuring her face.

With a crazed guard behind her and the thudding of footsteps growing closer,

Feng Ling, terrified and trembling within, couldn’t care less about what was wrong with the red-clad woman. Sweat nearly soaked her clothes, without much hesitation, she pressed the elevator’s close button.

"Close the door, please close it, close it quickly!!"

Better to face one threat than two.

Regrettably, the elevator doors were closing very slowly.

Her fists clenched involuntarily.

The guard, unhurriedly and with mechanical steps, also entered the stairwell...

The flickering incandescent light above signaled an unstable voltage.

Just then, the elevator doors squeaked shut once again.

Feng Ling had no escape.

"Damn it, what kind of plot is this?!"

The immersion was impressive.

Wang Hao, wearing the game helmet, was trembling, and suddenly, cold sweat broke out.

He clicked the pause button, slowly exhaled the turbid air from his chest, and took a sip of "soulless" sugar-free cola.

He savored the plot they had just experienced.

It was actually quite thrilling!

He had thought it was just an ordinary Three Stars difficulty script.

But it turned out to be a little gem!

"Although I really want to smash these two freaks with one slash, struggling as a mortal inside has its own flavor."

Thinking it over, he wasn’t sure how to break the situation.

"This poor girl is really unlucky!"

"The rules written on paper have become largely ineffective."

He could even feel the protagonist’s tension and despair.

He decided to continue the game.

Yes, at this point in the story, the protagonist had not yet died.

That strange guard, after entering the elevator, did not start killing people at random but rather began randomly pressing the elevator buttons.

"What’s going on here?" Wang Hao watched the strange guard intensely.

Due to excessive tension, the girl’s faint breathing became noticeably erratic, yet she had to suppress herself to make as little noise as possible.

The random shaking of the screen indicated the poor girl was uncontrollably trembling.

Unfortunately, the task this time wasn’t about surviving.

She had to find the chance to travel through Parallel Worlds.

"Maybe... go out again?"

Trembling fingers wanted to press the first-floor button on the elevator.

But then, during those few seconds of hesitation,

the elevator, under the random pressing by the guard, started up again.

Feng Ling’s heart was pounding "thump, thump," nearly up to her throat, and even her temples were throbbing.

Her Sixth Sense was warning her, this guard who had just entered was a twisted being!

At any moment, he could lash out violently.

But countless pieces of common sense told her to ignore it, not make contact, not even look, and pretend she knew nothing as the safest approach.

As long as the other party did not lash out, it meant there had been no "contact."

The elevator started up once more.

This time, it seemed to be going down!

And again, with a feeling of weightlessness, the elevator plummeted as if dropping off a cliff.

The descent was unusually prolonged this time, with no issues among the three.

That dangerous Sixth Sense gradually subsided, and Feng Ling slightly relaxed in her heart, "It seems safe after all, as long as the rules aren’t touched, they can’t sense me."

Unconsciously, she was covered in cold sweat.

Perhaps, after five minutes,

there was a sudden jolt.

The sensation of weightlessness slowly dissipated.

That mechanical female voice announced once more, "Ding-dong! Underground Level Two, arrived."

The elevator doors slowly opened.

Feng Ling clenched her fists, her tension rising once again.

The Underground Level Two, outside the Rule!

It was pitch black.

"Too bad, I didn’t see the guard press the button..."

The passing of the torch, the mystery of human continuation, only by passing on information could future humans have a chance to overcome the twisted. Feng Ling was somewhat annoyed in her heart; she had been too frightened to notice earlier.

It felt like the temperature had risen to 40 degrees Celsius as they descended to the underground.

At the moment the elevator doors opened, a breeze blew by, and that intense feeling of danger came surging back.

She dared not use her ability of Spiritual Vision and simply kept her head down.

"Clatter clatter!" The woman in red had another epilepsy attack, continuously swallowing medication and emitting "oh oh" sounds from her throat.

And the guard at the side also started pacing back and forth restlessly.

Although she clearly knew that a glance could be a way to confront suspicion and fear,

she dared not; she dared nothing. Like a lamb in the grasslands, she trembled amidst the lions, disguising herself as a stone, hoping to evade the lions’ detection.

She didn’t even know what had come inside.

"Gaia, is this the place?"

There was no answer from Gaia.

"No, Underground Level Two is not a safe world."

"Maybe all the humans inside are dead. Let’s see."

The elevator doors closed once more.

She, however, had not died yet.

Feng Ling’s head was spinning, and with her eyes closed, deep inside she even began to think, "I can make it."

The guard started pressing buttons randomly on the elevator again; from the corner of his eye, she barely glimpsed a few numbers. Unfortunately, most of the buttons were obscured by the guard.

The elevator continued to descend.

Once more into free fall!

After about five minutes, the mechanical, rigid electronic tone was particularly unnerving, "Ding-dong! Underground Level Three, arrived!"

This time, there was a tremendous noise from outside!

Then in came another... wriggling box?!

The box was made of metal, and once the elevator doors opened, the noise of the metal scraping the floor ceased.

The box seemed very cautious, moving very slowly, bit by bit, like a worm, it crept up alongside Feng Ling and stopped by her arm.
