"Mr. Su Lun, I’m sorry I’m late..."
Yuta’s sorrowful, self-blaming sobs echoed through the space.
Su Lun’s first reaction was that he was hallucinating.
He imdiately tried various thods, only to find that he wasn’t in an illusion, nor was he influenced by so special spiritual power field.
The attribute panel was all normal.
Right now, everything was very real.
anwhile, the sobbing sounds continued next to his ear.
"I ca as soon as I received the communication signal, but you..."
Su Lun confird it was Yuta’s voice.
She was crying very sadly.
Am I dead?
Su Lun, listening to the content of the words, realized sothing: Yuta must have seen his body, which was why she was crying so sadly.
But there seed to be a missing link, which made the scene very eerie.
I am clearly alive and well, so why would "Yuta" say I am dead?
Moreover, where is the voice coming from?
....
Su Lun’s thoughts in his mind started to whirl.
Assumption 1: I am hearing hallucinations (mostly ruled out)
Assumption 2: It’s really Yuta, or so other ’Yuta’ speaking (✓)
He instantly had an analysis of the current situation in his mind.
Having ruled out the first assumption, his thoughts automatically went to complete the possible logical links of the second assumption.
The Wolf Fang Amulet hanging from Su Lun’s neck was Yuta’s actual Wolf Fang, which had so kind of spiritual connection with her.
Su Lun didn’t know exactly why he could hear Yuta’s cross-dinsional conversation, but it probably was because of this Wolf Fang.
So, Yuta was here and had seen his own body?
But why can I hear her speak yet not see her?
Su Lun ruled out that he was in a spirit state.
He considered that it might be sothing similar to a "phonograph"?
No!
Stay tuned for updates on .Côm
A chaotic tiline?
Su Lun suddenly realized sothing.
If I’m not dead now, could there be a possibility: Yuta might have seen "the future "?
....
Yuta was just in this corridor, maybe even right in front of his eyes!
But not on the sa tiline.
Was it after I had died?
So special force allowed him to hear her cries across ti and space.
"So... will I be trapped here to die?"
Su Lun concluded, his gaze imdiately becoming serious.
Black crows give warnings, so this space must definitely have so "lethal danger."
There’s no doubt about that.
Wasn’t Yuta supposed to be outside, so how could she appear in the cursed space?
A thought flashed through Su Lun’s mind; he instantly understood that probably she had sneaked in for Dalu tribe’s inheritance. This silly girl probably didn’t tell him because she was afraid he would worry.
But now was not the ti to think about that.
If another tiline’s version of himself had really died, Su Lun had to quickly figure out the cause of his death, perhaps now he could avoid it and survive.
He tried calling out to Yuta, discovered she couldn’t hear him speak.
"Yuta" saw his body, the best way was to ask her directly.
It would also confirm if his guess was correct.
But since the voice could only travel one way, how could he let her know?
Su Lun saw the Wolf Fang Amulet on his chest, an idea flashed through his mind, and he imdiately thought of a thod.
"That’s it! Since my body is still here, it ans the Wolf Fang Amulet is also still there..."
Su Lun’s eyes whirled, he pulled off the amulet, then carved a line of small characters on it: "I am Su Lun, Yuta I can hear you speak. If you see this, tell what you saw."
He quickly carved these characters, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
If things were as he guessed, Yuta in a later tiline saw his body.
Then, she should be able to see the characters on this Wolf Fang!
.....
The mont he finished carving the characters, the sobbing sound by his ear suddenly stopped!
The Yuta on the other side seed stunned for a mont, then cried with joy, "Mr. Su Lun, is it really you?"
Su Lun, hearing those words, felt elated: My guess wasn’t wrong!
He hurriedly carved another sentence on the Wolf Fang: "It’s ! Can you see the characters on the ground?"
The Wolf Fang being quite small, he wrote so more words on the ground: "I might have fallen into a space with a chaotic tiline. Describe in detail what exactly happened and what you saw."
Just after writing those two sentences, indeed, Yuta’s response ca through the air, "I can see them! I’m sorry, Mr. Su Lun, I didn’t heed your advice and sneaked into the cursed space..."
Indeed, just as Su Lun thought, Miss Druid had sneaked in.
She continued, "I suddenly received a communication from you through the device specifying a route, asking to co over... I ca and then I saw you... no, a corpse. The corpse had the Wolf Fang Amulet I gave you, and then I thought it was you."
"..."
Su Lun, hearing this, his mind went blank again.
Was it my corpse that contacted Yuta through the communicator, leading her to this place?
What is this situation, resurrecting a body?
...
Su Lun hastily carved another line on the ground: "What else?"
The Yuta from another dinsion saw the characters on the ground, obviously also hoping it wasn’t Su Lun’s body.
But after looking carefully, she probably suspected she was caught in an illusion or sothing else, her tone becoming uncertain, "It’s a mummy, appears like a natural aged death, very old, very old. It seems... it truly is your body. Mr. Su Lun, are you a spirit now?"
A naturally dead mummy?
Su Lun heard this, his gaze shifting.
It ant, he didn’t die from an accident but was trapped until he died of old age?
No!
If there was no misfortune, Su Lun felt he should at least have a hundred and eighty years of lifespan left.
Moreover, the food supply simply couldn’t support dying of natural aging.
Doubts flashed through in succession.
Su Lun’s mind raced at high speed.
He rapidly ruled out so incorrect logic.
Thus the only possibility left was, there was so strange "chaotic tiline" in this space, "letting" "himself" age and die in a mont?
....
Su Lun thought about this, and imdiately realized the problem was serious.
Since he was not dead now, he thought about saving himself.
"If it is really my own body, since I have tried to contact Yuta using the communicator, I must have considered sothing. I definitely wouldn’t let her take the risk... even, ’I’ was very aware that I would die."
Su Lun knew himself too well.
He quickly thought of sothing and carved another line: "Yuta, check the storage ring on the body, and see if there is sothing like a notebook."
As he spoke, he also took out a notebook and began to record everything that was happening now.
Perception can be deceived, and even mories can be distorted, erased, or altered by so extraordinary powers.
But a "poor pen" won’t!
This clumsy thod sotis works wonders in certain situations.
And Su Lun himself had the habit of taking notes, and he thought that if he were trapped in a maze, he would definitely leave notes to crack it!
Once the line was carved, Yuta’s response indeed ca through the air, "Eh... there really is one!"
Su Lun felt like he had grasped the key point and imdiately carved: "Read what is on there."
....
"Yuta, you received the communication, which ans you definitely sneaked in here, you... When you see this notebook, it ans that the delayed communicator I made could withstand the erosion of more than two hundred years. Tsk tsk, the craftsmanship is pretty good... In the last mont before deciding to step out of this space, I recalled my life. Although it was brief, it was splendid. I have no regrets about coming here. I’m writing this because I’ve left so things for you, and so words... Oh, don’t be sad. I quite liked you."
Su Lun was surprised to hear Yuta reading these words from the notebook; he wondered if he had heard wrong.
Such grandiose words, were they really written by "himself"?
Could it be that he thought about these things in a desperate situation?
In the air, Yuta’s reading turned into uncontrollable sobbing.
She continued reading.
"You must want to know what happened, why I died here. If nothing unexpected occurred, am I a dried-up corpse by now? Hopefully, it wouldn’t scare you. If I’m not wrong, I’ve fallen into a ’ti distortion zone’ where the ti ratio to the outside world is 1:3700. That is, if I spend one day in this space, the equivalent of ten years passes in the normal space. And I’ve been here for over twenty days, so if I were to go out, my body would instantly age two hundred years. Thus, what you see should be a corpse that died of old age."
That was it!
Upon hearing this, Su Lun imdiately realized how the events had unfolded.
He abruptly looked around the cursed space and blurted out a curse.
In this place, one day equals ten years outside?
No wonder people are trapped to death.
But at the sa ti, he grew hopeful.
Because according to his character, he would definitely not wait to die but would find ways to decipher this space.
And moreover, since he had left notes, it ant there must be a detailed process to break it!
...
Yuta continued reading: "I explored every part of the maze and found a way to break it, but it was too late. I spent more than twenty days in this space to break it, and after coming out, it was more than two hundred years. If I had stayed hidden in the space, I could have lived much longer. But when I ca out, I would turn into nothing but dust... I never lived a life of compromise. So, I decided to co out. This is how I chose to leave this world, with peace of mind. Don’t be sad. By the ti you read this note, it simply proves that everything I predicted was right. If you encounter similar trouble, you can also use this thod to get out."
Yuta likely had tears streaming down her cheeks, touched by the emotion across ti and space, and she began to cry, "Wah... Mr. Su Lun, please don’t die..."
But in Su Lun’s heart, there was a different feeling, hearing this he imdiately conceived hope.
He carved on the ground, urging Yuta to read everything out loud, afraid the signal might suddenly cut off: "We are not dead yet. But if you don’t finish reading, I might really die."
"I" spent over twenty days figuring out how to get out last ti, and another attempt would likely take no less ti.
One day equals ten years; he couldn’t afford that.
Fortunately, fate did not play tricks on Su Lun, nor did any accidents happen.
Yuta too realized the seriousness and kept reading the contents of the notebook.
"The notes towards the end are a bit chaotic, but I’ve organized them for your ease of reading. If you need, you might want to see what I did at the end of my life. Nevertheless, this ’ti distortion zone’ is quite interesting... this world is wonderful, it’s just a pity life is too short. I understood so of the aning of death, it seems I also grasped so of the aning of life... give so more ti, I could possibly make my life even more splendid, letting the world know I was here... but, there’s no more maybe."
"..."
The rest of the content was mostly the thods to break the "ti distortion zone."
Su Lun carefully recorded on the notebook the thod "he" had left behind to break the region.
He had also seen "himself" take too many detours.
Because he had to grope through the entire maze to find clues to get out, he had wasted too much ti.
Now, all he needed to do was follow the strategy in "his" notebook, bypassing the exploration process.
Soon after, Su Lun finished understanding the thod and determined in his heart, "So this is how to get out..."
With this strategy, he was confident that he could handle it in half a day at most!
....
The notebook read up to this point; logically, there shouldn’t have been any important content left.
What needed to be explained had been explained, and everything that needed to be said had been said.
However, in the last few pages, Yuta read a few sentences that caused Su Lun’s just-cald heart to suddenly feel a chill down his spine.
"It feels like I have forgotten sothing very important, which is astonishing. How could I have done such a thing? Was there sothing guiding to do it? Or did I see sothing that made think this way?"
"Huh... Why did I write down these words? Was it due to so external influence? I am sure that there is sothing else in this space, sothing beyond my understanding!"
When Su Lun heard these sentences that sounded like "mad ravings," his hair instantly stood on end.
He looked around at the dim space and couldn’t help but think, "Could it be there is so other terrifying presence here besides the chaos in ti?"
Fear stems from the unknown.
Since he had written those words in the notebook, then that thing must certainly exist.
So kind of monster?
The chaotic rules of the God Burial Ground?
Or sothing else...?
Su Lun’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
At least that "thing" hadn’t killed his other self in that tiline, it had only caused him to forget sothing, which seed not too serious?
However, there was one more sentence at the end of the notebook.
"I wanted to understand the source of this feeling, so I carefully searched through all the items I was carrying, item by item... Then, I finally noticed sothing unusual. That is: I couldn’t rember how I got the [Replica of the Original Rune]!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lun suddenly beca very alard.
He instantaneously felt a chill down his spine as if a ghost had blown on the back of his neck.
A deep, terrifying thought.
Su Lun was surprised to find that he actually couldn’t rember how he had acquired that [Replica of the Original Rune]!
"I rember, it seed like I had fallen under a monster’s illusion, and I then scraped it off from the stone wall?"
Su Lun saw the [Thousand Illusions Demon Crystal] in his storage space, recalling the origin of the rune.
Just like that?
Scraped off from a mural?
It seed logically sound.
But it felt like it shouldn’t have been that easy.
Su Lun imdiately realized why he had written that sentence in the notebook.
It was then he discovered, his mory was missing sothing.
Not much, but crucial.
Within this cursed space, there might be a "special presence" that his subjective consciousness had forgotten or otherwise overlooked.
....
However, now was not the ti to ponder this question in detail.
Ti in this space passed so shockingly fast that every second wasted was a massive loss of life.
Su Lun engraved the last sentence on the ground: "I am going to break the space now, Yuta, be careful."
A gentle response also ca through the air: "Okay. Mr. Su Lun, you... be careful too."
