"Back then, Wang Gang had already ford an alliance-type shelter with soone nad Zhao Xiaomin. When I joined, there was also a young black guy, called sothing K. Sorry, I’ve forgotten his full na—we were all attracted there by those hard-to-use communication facilities in the system set by Wang Gang and the two of them. Later, Xing Lingfeng also ca. Back then, he wasn’t like he is now; he was just a guy in his twenties. Co to think of it, I was only about thirty-seven or eight myself."
Old Sun paused as he spoke, coughing twice and appearing to be rather uncomfortable.
"If Wang Gang had any brains, there wouldn’t have been any issues in that refugee village, but he thought Zhao Xiaomin’s baby was his and believed he was the leader, acting all high and mighty towards others. More and more people ca inside, and later on, even more people arrived, but everyone treated Zhao Xiaomin as the actual leader, and that young black guy as the deputy. Whatever we had, we reported to Zhao Xiaomin."
"As for Xing Lingfeng, Wang Gang had quite the trust in him, thanks to his strength and charm, making him a likable person. Xing Lingfeng always looked down on the rest of us and wasn’t too friendly with either. I usually went out with that young black guy, but on that particular day, he changed plans last minute, so I had to go with Xing Lingfeng to explore another direction as instructed by Wang Gang. As luck would have it, we found a door by a small lake."
"Indeed, go on." The story was getting to the point.
"The door looked very much like the current Ancient Secret Realm Gate, but who knew what it was at the ti? We all thought it might be so prank by a troublemaker. I opened the door to take a look and found it strange over there. Inside, it was actually at the foot of a mountain, with surroundings similar to Earth, even the birds and insects inside weren’t like the bizarre things in this Otherworld. At that ti, Xing Lingfeng wanted to go in and check it out. We both took a spin around and then I suggested reporting back to Wang Gang and the others, so Xing Lingfeng followed out."
"Then, when we returned to the shelter, we found a ssage on a stone left by Wang Gang, telling us that they moved while waiting for our return. They claid to have found so oil, and I wanted to hurry back since our supplies were running low. But then Xing Lingfeng said he forgot sothing and wanted to go back to look for it, yet he never ca back after that. Wang Gang suspected I killed Xing Lingfeng, leading us to that lakeside, only to find the door had vanished."
"Is that so? How did you return then?" Lin Yue seed quite familiar with this part, as it was all written in the diary, and Old Sun indeed recounted it in detail.
"I, too, suspected that maybe Xing Lingfeng entered the door and then disappeared when the door vanished, never returning. Wang Gang was always suspicious of at that ti, questioning daily until I could no longer bear it. So, later on, I kept searching for that door and eventually found it. After pushing it open, I discovered it led to the outskirts of a coastal city in Tang Country. The timing matched the days we spent in the Secret Realm. I stayed over there for ten days and saw nothing unusual, so I remained on Earth. Later, I ca here for the second ti to survive again."
Once Old Sun finished speaking, he slumped into the chair as if completely exhausted.
This information almost exactly matched what the diary recorded and was not far off from his own suspicions.
They indeed walked through that mysterious door, returning to Earth, but never summoned back and remained on Earth until this subsequent survival ga arrived.
So, the question arises.
As everyone knows, the passage connecting this Otherworld and the Secret Realm to Earth’s decades-future is the "Ancient Secret Realm Gate". Whether it’s a wooden or tal door, they invariably lead directly to an Earth devoid of humans and almost all original Earth life forms.
But why, in this current survival ga, do humans need to be brought back from the Secret Realm by the system before the disaster strikes?
"I ask you, what was different about the door you passed through compared to the Ancient Secret Realm Gate?"
"Compared to the Ancient Secret Realm Gate..." Old Sun thought hard, "When we first arrived, there wasn’t any Ancient Secret Realm Gate, although there were Lizardn, Werewolves, Sheep-headed n, and Ape-n, there wasn’t a Gate of Underground Ruins, and the system’s various functions weren’t there. The door Xing Lingfeng and I passed at that ti was completely different in color from the current Ancient Secret Realm Gate. That door was white, entirely white, and was a wooden door."
Entirely white wooden door?
It seems indeed I haven’t seen one.
Wait, what did he just say?
Besides Lizardn, there were also Werewolves, Sheep-headed n, and Ape-n?
