Chapter 380: Scared
Shen Mo humd in acknowledgnt before asking her after a while, “Do you regret it?”
Bai Youwei’s forehead rested on his shoulder, her head shaking slightly.
She didn’t regret it, but …
“I’m scared,” she murmured with closed eyes.
Shen Mo used his puzzle piece in the third round of “Friends’ Gathering”, and now her piece had been used up in “The Last Bride”.
That ant that whenever they would encounter a dead-end in the ga in the future, they would no longer have any ans to save their lives, only death awaiting them.
Indeed, Bai Youwei still had quite a few items.
But she had learned her lesson! Almost all of the items were ant to be used against players! To enhance their advantage by eliminating other players. If they truly encounter a life-and-death situation in the ga, the items would be of no use!
Take, for instance, the snowman summoned by the Snowflake.
Bai Youwei believed that if used correctly, the snowman could be very invincible. However, in “The Last Bride”, the rule was that the Duke had to kill a bride every night! No matter how powerful the snowman was, it couldn’t change the rules! It could only afford the user a temporary escape, but the other gars would beco
the Duke’s target.
That was also the reason why Su Man gave up on using the Snowflake at the ti.
Bai Youwei was scared.
She was frightened of being confronted with such a scenario again, feared watching the people by her side die one by one, while being powerless to do anything about it.
The most terrifying thing was never death.
It was when you finally establish a bond with this world, you have to witness the process where that bond was cut off, torn, and destroyed!
And in the end … you beco alone again.
Bai Youwei took a deep breath, tightly holding Shen Mo’s arm, she said, “Let’s go to the maze.”
“Go to the maze?” Shen Mo was taken aback.
The maze in Shanghai had disappeared due to three consecutive clears, and there were no other mazes nearby.
“Until I get a puzzle piece, I don’t want to enter the ga for now.” Her voice was low and sad, “I… I’m scared.”
This was the second ti she ntioned the word “scared” after coming out of the ga.
Shen Mo remained silent.
Wasn’t he scared too?
When he was waiting in the dark and saw Zhao Lanfen and Cheng Xi’s dolls appearing one after another, but with no news from Bai Youwei, wasn’t he worried too?
Thinking of her inability to walk, her personality that easily offends others, no matter what he couldn’t ease his worry. This ti she successfully escaped the danger, but what about next ti? What about the ti after that?
The ga world’s rules were ever-changing, wanting to keep her safe was undoubtedly an empty promise.
Without a puzzle piece, he couldn’t protect the person he wanted to protect.
As Shen Mo thought about these things, he slowly said, “If we’re going to the maze, we can either go south or north, but considering rumors say that the north is safer, I think, people should be gathering to the north in the future.”
“Mazes will appear in densely populated areas.” Bai Youwei understood his aning,” We’ll head north.”
After a pause, she couldn’t help asking, “How did these rumors about the north being safer start?”
“It actually has sothing to do with Professor Song’s SCO Organization,” Shen Mo explained to her, “Before the widespread power outage, there was an online interview report about SCO, in which the interviewed researcher made so conjectures, claiming that the abnormal changes in Earth’s magnetic field were probably due to a kind of high-dinsional space force that uses the sun as a dium and disassembles and irradiates the earth.”
“Using the sun…as a dium?” Bai Youwei had a slight realization, “That’s quite an interesting guess.”
Though high-dinsional space seems superior to low-dinsional space, high-dinsional “beings” can’t enter low-dinsional space, just as humans can’t get
into a comic strip.
But if both worlds have the sun, perhaps it could be used as a dium.
