Chapter 491: Chapter 477 Pushing the Door (Happy New Year to all book friends!) Chapter 491: Chapter 477 Pushing the Door (Happy New Year to all book friends!) “You should be able to hear me now, shouldn’t you?”

Roger suddenly spoke.

There was no sound; complete silence surrounded him.

“Is it that you can’t answer, or you don’t want to answer?”

Roger posed his second question, it was evident that an answer to the first was no longer needed.

He was certain that the other party could hear him.

“Are you having second thoughts?”

The face on the door suddenly spoke.

She was breathing rapidly, her eyes full of unhidden desire.

“I just want to confirm something,”

Roger smiled.

“Are you sure you want me to open this door?”

“Of course, that’s what we agreed on before!”

Mountain Woman answered without hesitation.

“Don’t forget the promise between us, the rules of the world witness for us, this vow is unbreakable!”

“As long as you let us out, I can satisfy three of your conditions!”

“Apart from harming oneself, we can do anything as long as it’s within our power.”

“Do you like women?”

“Do you want to possess great power?”

“We can satisfy all your desires!”

The face on the door appeared almost ready to burst through.

Her eagerness was clear for anyone to see.

She suddenly frowned.

“Are you trying to raise your demands at the last minute?”

Just then, another face appeared beneath Mountain Woman’s.

“Damn it, this greedy fellow, he’s never satisfied!”

“To entrust our future into the hands of such a person, you fool!”

Roger was very familiar with that voice; it belonged to the face on Mountain Woman’s hump.

The two argued, but Roger remained silent, waiting quietly.

The arguing stopped abruptly, and Mountain Woman, with a frown, looked at Roger, “Speak, what is it that you truly want?”

Roger smiled.

“The question isn’t what I want, but what you have been hiding?”

He withdrew his hand from the door.

“The door is already formed, why don’t you open it?”

“For someone who has been imprisoned for who knows how many years, every second must be agony now, mustn’t it?”

“Why?”

“Why must I be the one to open this door?”

Roger looked at the face of Mountain Woman.

“The passage is two-way. Logically, you could open the door as well.”

“Why don’t you do it?”

A sharp light flickered in Roger’s eyes.

“What will be the cost to me for opening this door?”

Mountain Woman suddenly fell silent.

That’s when another voice spoke up, “I knew it, he can’t be fooled!”

“Shut up!”

Mountain Woman shouted in a low voice.

“Just who are you exactly?”

Roger asked.

After a moment of silence, Mountain Woman replied, “You guessed correctly, opening this door indeed comes with a price.”

“A cage must not be left empty, if we leave, someone else must take our place.”

“By pushing open the door, you would essentially agree to this condition, replacing us as the new prisoner.”

“You did lie, after all,” Roger shrugged his shoulders, “If I became the prisoner there, then many conditions you promised me earlier, I’m afraid, will be impossible to fulfill.”

“It seems that you haven’t violated the contract after all.”

“You’re really good at calculating.”

“One for two is indeed a profitable trade, to be honest, I’m curious, haven’t you found a suitable target to deceive over all these years?”

The Mountain Woman shook her head.

“It’s too difficult, first you need a door, and then you need someone to push it open.”

“The Shadow World is shattered, it’s a true prison.”

Roger spread his hands, “I’m sorry, it looks like our deal can’t continue.”

“How much longer can you maintain this state?”

“Forever?”

As time passed, the aura on the door became increasingly unstable, and the whole door started to feel illusory. If enough time passed, this temporary state would certainly collapse.

Although Roger wanted to keep his promise, he was also somewhat cautious of the Mountain Woman.

According to what the Mountain Woman had originally said, maintaining this threefold shadow overlap was extremely demanding and difficult.

That’s why she kept emphasizing that she hoped Roger would push the door open quickly once it formed.

In fact, this was a psychological trap.

And Roger guessed that if he broke the agreement and opened the door prematurely before the ritual was completed, he probably wouldn’t be able to enter the Shadow World he intended to.

Because at that time the portal would still be unstable, and rashly entering, he might be thrown into an unknown space, or get stuck in the cracks between worlds.

Others might not understand this situation.

However, Roger had the fortune of briefly entering the world behind the door with Anna’s help last time; he had some understanding of this state, so he resisted the temptation.

And then, the Mountain Woman’s actions confirmed Roger’s thoughts.

Throughout the process, both parties were testing each other, both had urgent needs but couldn’t fully trust the other.

To give up directly was something neither side could bear the loss of, but to fully trust each other, if betrayed, would lead to a fall into the Abyss.

Real and fake.

Roger stepped back a few paces, watching the face on the door slowly fade.

The Mountain Woman’s previously feigned emotions all disappeared; her calm expression was somewhat frightening. She was on the verge of escaping her cage, but at the last moment, everything fell through.

This kind of drastic change would be unbearable for anyone.

“Wait a minute!”

Another voice spoke out at that time.

“I’m fed up, evading the world’s rules to have a manipulable body in the real world, it’s just too difficult.”

“My body was destroyed, and for a long time to come I can only face you, old woman!”

“The sky is gray, and there are stones everywhere, besides you, there’s no second person!”

“To hell with everything!”

A face seemed to be torn in two, and by the tone of voice Roger could easily tell it apart from the Mountain Woman.

“I want to make a contract with you!”

That voice said.

“Have you gone mad?” the Mountain Woman roared.

“We had an agreement!”

“What agreement?”

“You’re stronger than me, and all I can do is stay on your back. Do you want to keep waiting?”

“How many more years?”

“50 years or 100 years?”

“Give up hope, the result will be the same.”

At that moment, the two faces had completely separated, and Roger could easily discern the difference between them.

“Are you acting again?”

As expected, the more beautiful the woman, the more deceptive.

The faces on the door were only outlined with simple lines, lacking the vividness of living people, but each of these two faces was shockingly beautiful.

It was unclear whether they were born this beautiful or if it was an intentional disguise to tempt Roger.

“It’s not a trick, this time it’s real!”

“I swear in the name of Uma*Ukulelelys!”

“You don’t have to do anything.”

The woman’s eyes were full of determination, “As soon as I push open this door, the contract will naturally be made!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the entire door trembled slightly, and a crack opened soon after.

And then the door opened.
