Chapter 140: Backpack Full |
The blood loss was substantial... you call this "a bit" substantial?
Everyone's expressions were subtle as they looked at Guan Shan, who was covered in blood. The fresh, warm blood was still dripping down.
No, it wasn't just dripping; it was as if he had just been pulled out of a pool of blood, the sheer amount was terrifying.
Just looking at it, they could imagine the victim's blood gushing out like a fountain, the scene so gruesome that it was unbearable to witness.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so anxious and worried earlier.
It turned out they had imagined the wrong victim...
The one who suffered such a gruesome scene wasn't Guan Shan, but the "room."
Everyone exchanged glances, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
White Night breathed a sigh of relief, then circled around Guan Shan, still worried, "Are you really okay? Not injured?"
Guan Shan waved his hand and wobbled as he stood up, thinking for a moment, "I have a way to be immune to time-related abilities."
Although the countdown crisis and that giant eyeball had scared him, making his legs a bit weak, he had gone through enough simulations to develop a strong mental adjustment ability.
"I can't say I'm fine, but I'm not injured."
Guan Shan had a look of relief, grateful as he looked at White Night, his eyes sincere, "Thank you for saving me earlier. I was so scared; I thought I was going to die in there."
White Night smiled awkwardly, thinking Guan Shan was just comforting him for being useless.
You, afraid? I don't believe you!
Pretending to be a weak, helpless victim, that "room" you killed with one crowbar would die with regrets!
Whether they believed him or not, Guan Shan indeed had been scared. The simulator's countdown was no joke, and he almost thought he'd be trapped in that darkness forever.
Guan Shan took a deep breath, tears welling up as he looked at the open night sky above. Then he suddenly paused.
Wait, where's the roof?
Guan Shan quickly looked at White Night, "Where is this?"
White Night replied, "A construction site in a small village on the Liaoshen border."
He explained, "The 'room's' ability is based on real rooms, creating a parallel space he controls, but those rooms still exist at their coordinates."
"So, it looks like we're walking between rooms, but we're actually jumping between coordinates."
"This is why those trapped in the rooms can never get out because outside this room is endless void."
"Your crowbar pried open the passages between these coordinates."
White Night stroked his chin, curious about Guan Shan's crowbar, but knowing it was a rare Panspirit Object, he decided it would be impolite to ask.
Guan Shan looked at the person holding a strange device standing aside, "By the way, who is this?"
White Night smirked, "Don't mind him, he's just a tool man."
The tool man didn't mind, nodded, raised his device, and smiled, "I'm just here to deliver a package. Now that the task is done, I should leave. It wouldn't be good if the Special Security Group found out."
Certain members of the Special Security Group: "..."
Certain Youhao Team third squad members: "..."
The tool man slipped away into the night, disappearing silently into the darkness, clearly an experienced escape artist.
White Night coughed twice, "That 'space detonator' can force open a sealed space, but it needs coordinates. I left something in that space to locate it."
He whispered, "But the problem is, this thing isn't registered and is stolen goods. The Su Ling he mentioned runs an underground black market. The relationship with the Special Security Group is like peddlers and city management. If they find out, it will be confiscated."
Guan Shan was speechless, "Did you forget I'm also part of the Special Security Group?"
White Night gripped his shoulder, serious, "I trust you won't betray your brothers."
Guan Shan shook his head, "I won't."
White Night smiled, then heard Guan Shan say, "But did you forget I brought a formal member of the Special Security Group?"
White Night looked around blankly, "Huh? Who? There's no one else here?"
Lin Shuman: "..."
She walked up behind White Night, tapping his shoulder sinisterly.
"Whoa!"
White Night turned and saw a living person, jumping back three or four steps in fright.
"Hahahaha..."
Guan Shan finally couldn't hold back his laughter. Though he had been scared before, it was more amusing to see others scared.
After explaining to White Night and ensuring the "space detonator" issue wouldn't be reported, about five minutes later, a loud noise came from above, and a searchlight shone on them.
Guan Shan looked up and was stunned, "Helicopter?!"
There were two helicopters, one armed and one transport, making people's eyelids twitch. The Special Security Group's display was impressive.
The construction site had a flat, open cement area, and the helicopters landed there, lowering rope ladders, and a team of medical personnel and an Esper descended.
The medical personnel bandaged the group's minor injuries, and the Esper introduced himself, "Hello, I'm 'Revoke' from the third squad of the Noon Brigade."
Guan Shan twitched, "Revoke? Are you 'Ctrl+Z'?"
The young man calling himself "Revoke" nodded, "My ability is to revoke. Since there's no Esper who can reverse time, they sent me after hearing the situation. I can revoke the effects of the same ability up to three times; beyond that, there's nothing I can do."
"I see."
Guan Shan nodded, thinking no one among them had experienced more than three time accelerations, so they should all return to normal.
Since Lu Mingyi was in the most urgent condition due to his age, "Revoke" first performed his ability on him.
White Night and "Revoke" boarded the armed helicopter.
Guan Shan, still worried, and Lin Shuman boarded the medical transport helicopter with Lu Qiuqiu and her father. The pilot was another combat-oriented Esper.
"Whew..."
Guan Shan looked out the window at the widening view, leaning back in his seat, finally having time to check the settlement interface.
The helicopter flew towards the Noon Brigade's base to report the situation to the Special Security Group before returning to Hangzhou.
