Chapter 903: 856 Chapter: A Foreign Land_2
His heartbeat accelerated, and the numbness brought by the electric current almost prevented Vadim from standing still.
His legs gave way, and he half-kneeled on the ground.
This negative feeling was much more real than a dream, and there were no signs of him waking up from this nightmare.
This was the company’s punishment for him.
"It was just a small misunderstanding earlier; I just wanted to lighten the mood because it was too tense."
Despite being in an almost humiliating state, Vadim had no choice but to force a smile and apologize. His face wore a fake smile, but the fists he clenched on the ground represented his current mental state.
He had accepted the identity of "Little Mice," which meant he was inevitably devoid of human rights in front of the company, nor could he gain the recognition and respect of the company’s senior management.
"You are trapped by Psychic Abilities."
"Psychic Abilities... do you mean interference-type Psychic Abilities? Have I been targeted by an interference-type Psychic User?"
Having spent so many years in the Fourth Zone, Psychics were no longer strangers to Vadim, and many rescuers under Kolo Film Industry were Psychics. He had heard that some powerful interference-type Psychics could penetrate people’s brains to control their actions.
They could easily manipulate a target to walk up to the rooftop and then leap down, effortlessly disguising the incident as a suicide.
Vadim, who had long handled the dirty and tiresome work for Kolo Film Industry, naturally envied such abilities.
This was much more discreet and efficient than car bombs or fires.
"What you’re dealing with is different from the Psychic Abilities you know, and no Psychic User is targeting you."
"Then why..."
"I’ve already told you before, one of the rules in this city has been changed, and anyone in a battle will benefit from the change it brings."
The people from the "Blue Eyes" company did not like to repeat words they had already said, especially such simple and easy-to-understand parts, and while explaining, he once again felt that Vadim’s intellectual level was indeed worrying, or maybe this was a common problem among humans.
Stupid yet self-righteous, Vadim perfectly matched his inherent impression of humans.
But clearly, this foolish human’s brain was still blank; he seemed completely unable to comprehend that if the modified rules had shown even a hint of malice, their current conversation would not be occurring.
However, the sudden change in rules had also left them with something.
"Stand up, look at that door."
The "Blue Eyes" company person in his mind issued a new order to Vadim.
Vadim clenched his teeth tight but still followed the other’s command, enduring the numbness and haze to push himself up.
He guessed that the other party was referring to the security door of the high-end apartment building.
The door was now securely locked, and for a long time, Vadim had been trying to break through this tightly shut security door.
It might be hard to believe, but a deity who had transcended humanity and completed the "final evolution" was stopped by a residential security door.
"Now, sprint into it as fast as you can."
"...What?"
"Don’t make me repeat it a second time."
Despite manifold doubts in his mind, Vadim still assumed a running stance, and at the moment he started running, he even activated "Overload Type IV."
This was a famous high-end district in the Fourth Zone, and its security doors were top quality; no fool would physically tackle a company’s security door.
Vadim closed his eyes, bracing to be bounced back.
His speed increased until he made intimate contact with the security door.
Instead of being rebounded as anticipated, after a moment of darkness, he felt as though he had crossed a threshold. When Vadim opened his eyes again, dazzling sunlight struck his face, and he immediately steadied himself, his feet already at the curb while a sports car sped past in front of him.
The incessant flow of vehicles and the bustling crowd left him stunned in place.
He was certain that it had been the deep of night before he took a step, and he had been in front of a high-end apartment building.
Now, the apartment complex was no longer behind him, and he found himself on a street that was both foreign and familiar. He felt as if he had seen this road somewhere before, and the walls on either side were also very familiar.
Vadim stopped at the roadside, gazing at the walls for a long time.
Eventually, he came up with a bizarre idea.
This was the Fourth District.
The difference was that the postmodern punk-style graffiti that used to cover the walls had disappeared, replaced by patterns that were unclear in meaning but still evoked a sense of the sacred.
There was also a change in the style of the pedestrians’ clothing.
Gone were the tight leather and plastic garments, as well as the nearly fully revealed "trendy outfits." Here, people dressed much more conservatively, and among the passersby, he saw many clergy members, finding similar patterns on their nun outfits and holy garments to those on the walls.
"You need to go there," the voice echoed.
This place looked like the Fourth District in those parallel world movies, except the command of "Blue Eyes" company people still retained the style of the original world.
Then, the conversation in Vadim’s mind was unilaterally terminated.
Vadim quickly found his "mission" location—a building that had taken the place of Kolo Film Industry, situated in the prime area of the city, its architectural style unlike anything Vadim had ever seen, resembling a fusion of religious architecture and modern technology. The imposing and striking building was so unfamiliar that Vadim, who had read very little, found himself at a loss for words to describe it.
Besides that, he discovered some other unusual aspects.
For instance, the passersby all seemed to automatically ignore his presence.
Vadim seemed to vaguely understand something as he quickly followed the clergy members he encountered along the way, heading towards the church-like building.
For the Fourth District of the "parallel world," it appeared to be a significant day.
People spontaneously gathered in the area where the church-like building was located, and in front of it was a space almost the same size as the Kolo Film Industry Cultural Plaza. Here, movie and show promotional posters had been replaced with various church propaganda brochures.
The crowd did not stop Vadim’s progress, and the congested mass seemed just like a projection from another world. He easily passed through those blocking his path, and when he reached the front of the line, he could finally see the holographic images that had replaced the movie promotions.
The images made Vadim pause, no longer daring to take even half a step forward.
He had seen the true Deity.
Despite his intellect telling him all he saw was illusionary, and even though he had never been a devout believer, an unprecedented sense of sacredness enveloped him, momentarily making him want to open his heart and confess all his misdeeds and sins to those lofty beings.
The people here had different names for the gods they worshiped.
"The Echoes of the Upper World."
Devout believers could hear whispers from the Upper World, and even though they had never seen the sources of these echoes, they still completed their images with their devout hearts and imaginations.
Before the crowd stood an old man in holy garments.
The Archbishop.
For some unknown reason, Vadim understood the old man’s identity.
This white-haired elder was the earthly representative of the Echoes of the Upper World, and at that moment, he was about to deliver thrilling news to everyone present.
A war was about to begin.
But they would ultimately be the victors.
Because, not long ago, the Archbishop had heard guidance from the Upper World while meditating.
This guidance had delivered a message of utmost importance:
The Saint Heir was about to descend upon the world.
He would lead everyone to end this turbulent and chaotic era.
Awaiting them ahead was a much brighter future.
