A question, an answer.
As ti slowly passed in this attempt to provoke Chen Miao's guilt, finally... when Hungry Monkey, sitting sluggishly in the audience seats, climbed up from his seat, he looked down at Miao still tackling the challenge.
He glanced down at his watch and then sat back in his seat, muttering to himself, "I get it now, this thirteenth challenge isn't about triggering Miao's guilt at all, but trying to exhaust him to death."
From the start of challenge thirteen to the present, no more no less, exactly 24 hours had passed.
And the huge Heart Demon didn't seem to have shrunk much, at this rate, it's estimated that it'll take at least another day or two.
Such a long span of ti without sleep is a trendous torture to anyone's spirit.
And indeed, it was so.
At this mont, Chen Miao below had already closed his eyes and took out a rocking chair to lie down in, his entire being exuding fatigue while holding up a recorder, he could not sleep, he could answer questions using the recorder, but he had to remain awake to do so.
Just like that...
Another 30 hours passed.
Finally!
A long-missed notification sounded in the ears of all the players!
"Ding, congratulations to player Chen Miao for successfully clearing level 13, let's give him a warm round of applause."
A simple system announcent.
It didn't even ntion the rewards.
The next second!
Accompanied by a flash of white light, everyone was forcibly ejected from the secret level, concluding the S-rank secret level, where everyone had stayed for a total of three days, also getting several rounds of sleep, but relatively speaking, all participants of this secret level gained quite a lot.
Even players who got eliminated in the first round gained a lot, after all, an exchange card for 10,000 Experience Points is not a small sum, and for a level-zero Supernatural being, it's enough to level up many tis.
...
"Finally out..."
As Hungry Monkey was teleported back to The Land of Extre Cold from the audience seats, he took a deep breath of relief and subconsciously scanned his surroundings, noticing all had returned but Miao's voice was distinctly absent.
"Where's Miao?"
At this mont, Zhou Shen and the others also realized this issue, looking at each other with puzzled looks, they had just landed, it was impossible for Miao to disappear in front of them in an instant, aning, Miao didn't return?
Miao was still in the secret level!
...
anwhile, in the S-rank secret level, after all the audience was forcibly ejected, a white light slowly floated in front of Chen Miao from a corner. This white light showed no signs of life, but it gave the illusion that it possessed a sort of Spiritual Wisdom.
"Hmm."
Chen Miao, sitting sowhat tired in the rocking chair and propping himself up with a cane, scanned the seats above which were now empty, realizing in a large secret level he was the only person left, he understood that he was probably left behind alone.
This feeling wasn't good.
It reminded him of when he was a student being singled out by the teacher in the classroom.
According to his student days experience, being left alone by the teacher often wasn't a good thing, if it was sothing good it would generally be announced in class, such a situation ant either puppy love was discovered or a parent-teacher eting was required.
Chen Miao sighed deeply, then raised his head to look at the white light above his head, "Alright, speak up, why am I left alone here? Is it because you're so sort of intelligence from a Higher Civilization and you want to train specially?"
"Or is it that you want to partner with ?"
"Or is it so other confused conspiracy? Generally speaking, at such a point in the story, you're bound to reveal so hidden truth, right? Like the universe isn't here to imprison us but to protect us, that what awaits us beyond the universe isn't freedom, but crisis and such."
Right now, he couldn't care less about these things.
He just wanted to go ho and sleep.
But obviously, this white light wasn't planning on letting him go just like that, looking like it was determined to reveal so secrets to him, which mildly annoyed him. Couldn't it find a better ti?
He hadn't slept for three days, even if you now say the whole universe is actually an egg cell, he couldn't care less, okay?
The white light couldn't hear Chen Miao's inner complaints, it just hovered in mid-air for a long ti before a faint chanical voice transmitted, "You... you can see ?"
"..."
Chen Miao expressionlessly remained silent for a while before speaking faintly, "Should I be able to see you or not? Are you a ghost? Or so kind of spirit? Can I not see you?"
"Even if it's a ghost, I can see it okay? On the Hell Bus, I've seen who knows how many ghosts."
"They aren't ghosts."
The white light fluctuated a few tis as if it were shaking its head while explaining, "They are still the life form known as humans, just in a slightly altered form of appearance."
"In the rules of this universe, only those who die a natural death will die permanently."
"Whereas those who die accidentally will float aimlessly and vacantly throughout the universe for as long as their remaining lifespan allows, the Hell Bus simply gave those people a form, allowing them to move like normal."
"True ghosts, born as ghosts, cannot be seen by humans and nor can they see humans, the two sides are not of the sa dinsion."
"My na is Zhi, could you not tell others that you've seen ?"
"It wasn't easy for to escape into this universe."
