"Ah, you make it sound like I’m really weak..." Listening to Lu Xiaojie’s hints, Tang Ye murmured with a sowhat odd expression, and Lu Xiaojie seed to understand Tang Ye’s frustration, following up, "Stay here for a few hundred years and you’ll understand."
"Alright, I’ll listen to you, this experienced guide... Uh, not that, if I return to that place and hide in the store, will everything really be fine?"
"Not necessarily, but with here, it absolutely won’t find you."
"The ’it’ you’re talking about, is it the other Dairya?"
"You could say that, but not entirely."
Lu Xiaojie answered, her expression turning odd again, as if Tang Ye’s question made her ponder sothing. Behind her, Tang Ye also fell silent, recalling the earlier conversation. Soon, he asked, "According to you, as long as I return to that foggy forest and hide in the store, the other Dairya won’t find , right?"
"Yes... wait a minute, what are you trying to do?" Lu Xiaojie ca to her senses, replied confidently, but the next second, she realized sothing and turned to look at Tang Ye.
"You should understand what it ans to submit. I have to remind you, here, Dairya is invincible!" Lu Xiaojie said seriously to Tang Ye, but he didn’t seem to care, chuckling as he replied, "I’ll give it a try."
"You..." Lu Xiaojie was montarily at a loss for words, and Tang Ye behind her suddenly stopped, looking into the darkness. There was nothing, not the atmosphere one would expect when being chased.
"Stay here and wait a while, don’t go too far, or you might get hurt." Tang Ye said to Lu Xiaojie while observing his surroundings, but surprisingly, she showed no intention of hiding, instead crossing her arms with an expression of enjoying the show.
She sighed and said to Tang Ye, "This is not the real world. No matter how you fight with it, it won’t affect , and... forget it..."
Lu Xiaojie again appeared as if she was going to say more but held back. This ti, Tang Ye couldn’t stand it anymore and directly asked, "And what else?"
"Don’t worry about that. What I wanted to say is that here, confronting it head-on will only be to your detrint."
Tang Ye’s eyebrows furrowed, then relaxed. He wanted to say sothing but the next second, the world in front of him suddenly changed, like a reflection appearing on water, and he imdiately beca alert, spreading out his senses, scanning everything around him.
"Is it here?"
"Hmm, pretty much." Lu Xiaojie nodded, glanced behind her, then said to Tang Ye, "Be careful yourself, rember to do what I told you."
"Got it." Tang Ye replied casually, and soon, his senses caught onto a scene. He spun around quickly, at the sa ti, the world in front of him began to distort, like a calm water surface stirred by a gale, everything creating wave after wave of ripples.
Ha~
Tang Ye let out a low growl, his body suddenly sank, all his strength exploding in a mont, and the ground couldn’t bear his weight, actually beginning to crack and fall apart. The surrounding buildings beca abstract, the imnse pressure making Tang Ye feel as if he was being crushed by a mountain!
After the low growl, the flesh on Tang Ye’s body rolled, his arms crossed, and from them stretched thin strands of at. With another exertion, he was like a tid bomb reached its mont, "bang" exploding open, tens of thousands of tendrils swept towards all directions!
The black mist spread, shrouding several miles centered on him, corroding everything, turning this city desolate!
The countless tendrils were infinitely extended, seemingly piercing the depths of the universe, with no end in sight. Ti seed to pause for a few seconds at this mont. Quickly, the elongated tendrils retracted, Tang Ye’s muffled groan was heard from an unknown place, deep in the pit created by the earth’s collapse, the tendrils ford into a human figure. This figure was Tang Ye, falling endlessly, as things in contact with his skin vanished into thin air!
He passed through the entire earth, then his body suddenly lightened, the imnse pressure on him disappeared. Tang Ye quickly adjusted his posture and looked down.
"F*ck."
Not knowing what happened, while he was constantly sinking, he appeared in high altitude, with a dim night sky above him, void of stars.
He was falling towards the ground, where lay a dead-silent foggy forest!
Boom!
Soon, Tang Ye landed successfully, though not in a graceful way, dust kicked up by his landing covered him.
Hoo~
Exhaling a breath of impure air, his rapidly operating physical functions quickly cald. Tang Ye stood up, glanced at the sky, and in that mont just now, he thought about ascending to high altitude again to figure out what was going on, but he eventually abandoned the idea. He looked at the ground, realizing that the force and destruction he inflicted by falling at high speed caused no damage, not even affecting the floating fog around him. He stayed silent for a while, finally bursting into laughter.
"Ha, it really is like this."
Sighing, Tang Ye found it difficult to articulate, his strength was forcibly controlled within certain limits. He could understand it, but naming such an influence for now should be... a rule?
Perhaps calling it this way is more reasonable.
But in any case, Lu Xiaojie hadn’t been wrong. In this environnt, the other "Dairya" is invincible. During the confrontation just now, he hadn’t even seen its true face before being swept here. Only midway did it seem to be distracted by Lu Xiaojie.
Looking back, behind him was Mr. Pillay’s Grocery Store. Although Tang Ye was sowhat resistant to this series of events, for safety’s sake, he still followed Lu Xiaojie’s advice, staying honestly inside the store. After all, he didn’t want to be trapped in this fabricated world until he died.
He stepped toward the store’s entrance, but just before reaching the door, he let out a "Hmm" and looked down at the plants below.
"What is this..." In his sight, the garden, which originally had dead, blackened plants, now showed a touch of green. He squatted down, using his hand to part so of the vegetation. The once dry, hard soil appeared slightly moistened, with a new sprout erging.
"Could it be because I killed that wolf-headed monster?" Scanning around, Tang Ye seed to understand sothing, nodding, then shaking his head.
"Hiss~ Hoo... Looks like I can fulfill my promise to Dairya." Tang Ye was in a fairly good mood, closing the door behind him once he entered the store.
