Chapter 116: "Day Six and Seven" Escape from Hell

Luo Qili pondered Zhao Yi's words seriously.

Given the current situation, the most direct threat to them was the specters behind the cracks.

Once the players reached the seventh day... the cracks would likely shatter completely, and the last barrier between the players and the specters would disappear!

The specters they saw would attack them from a space they couldn't perceive, in ways they couldn't predict!

Imagine if there was a terrifying specter that could attack you, but you couldn't fight back or defend yourself, not even escape...

What a brutal massacre that would be!

Luo Qili shivered.

"What should we do?"

Zhao Yi didn't answer. He took her phone, preparing to call their third-day selves.

The logical loop still needed to be completed.

Without this logical loop, something terrifying and unpredictable might happen to the players on the sixth or seventh day!

The two of them successfully dialed the phone at the fixed time, providing their third-day selves with crucial clues.

This time, Luo Qili vaguely heard Zhao Yi communicating with that terrifying Dark Persona.

It was a language she couldn't comprehend.

Mysterious and obscure, it seemed to carry some secret.

But she didn't ask further.

Zhao Yi definitely wouldn't tell her about such things.

After completing the logical loop, the two began to wander around the city.

Because different players completed the dungeon at different times, took different paths, and ended up in different times and spaces.

By the fifth day, in Zhao Yi's timeline, the number of players had already decreased significantly.

Of course, this was just a proportion.

The actual number was still quite large.

After all, the initial player base entering the Tide of Demon Spirits was enormous.

...

Luo Qili now found it difficult to face the fierce ghost in her eyes.

Whether her eyes were open or closed.

She could see it clearly.

"It's coming out..."

Luo Qili tried to calm herself.

Zhao Yi wasn't anxious, wandering around the abandoned city with Luo Qili.

Seemingly searching for something.

"What are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

In response to the woman's inquiry, Zhao Yi replied:

"Looking for a more open space."

Soon, they arrived at a plaza.

Waiting quietly.

The sixth day had just arrived.

In the corner of the plaza, Zhao Yi took out his camera and snapped a photo of the corner.

Sure enough—

The fierce ghost in his eyes was captured in the photo!

Luo Qili did the same, using Zhao Yi's camera to take a picture.

She aimed at the nearby abandoned old cesspit, thinking to herself, let the specter taste the flavor of filth!

After taking the photo, the specter and the strange edge in her eyes were indeed captured on the surface of the cesspit.

Luo Qili felt a surge of dark satisfaction.

But when she put down the camera, she found she could still see the fierce ghost in her eyes!

"Zhao Yi... why, why... can I still see it?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"Seeing it is normal."

"If we didn't have this camera, when the mirror completely shatters on the seventh day, the specter would crawl in from outside and kill us directly."

"But now with the camera, it captured the space 24 hours later, with the specter inside... This means when the specter breaks through the mirror on the seventh day, it must appear where we photographed, and we can survive."

Luo Qili suddenly understood!

"By the way... what do you mean by mirror?"

Zhao Yi asked in return:

"Don't you find it strange that we're reversed left and right?"

As he spoke, Luo Qili suddenly realized this issue!

Since entering the great dungeon, their bodily sensations had been completely reversed left and right, and they had spent a lot of time adapting to this absurdity!

After many days, players who had become accustomed to the reversal had gradually forgotten about it amidst various confusions...

"This time, the real location of the dungeon... is the mirror."

"The cracks and the feeling of being reversed are hints."

"Perhaps many players realized this issue on the first day, but with the dangers and other reasons encountered in the following days, they gradually forgot about it."

"We've been in the world inside the mirror from the start, and the specters outside want to come in and kill us!"

"It's just that it takes them seven days to break the mirror."

"Escaping the dungeon... is actually escaping the world inside the mirror!"

As Zhao Yi laid out these secrets, Luo Qili finally understood why players had to go to various dungeons to obtain crucial items!

"But the mirror we see, we can't touch it at all, how do we escape from here?"

"Could it be..."

Zhao Yi looked at Luo Qili and nodded:

"That's right."

"When the specter appears at dawn tomorrow, the shattered mirror will appear with it, and what we need to do is lure the specter away and escape to the other side of the mirror while being chased!"

Hearing this, Luo Qili's face stiffened.

She slowly turned her head, glanced at the cesspit, and couldn't help but recall her tumultuous life.

It seemed... she had never faced such a big challenge?

Damn it!!!

Why did she have to take a photo of the cesspit?

Ugh...

If she didn't jump accurately...

Not only would she be killed by the specter, but she'd also experience what it means to swim in a sea of filth before dying...

Ugh—

The sense of immersion was so strong that Luo Qili couldn't help but retch.

At this moment, she suddenly wanted to say goodbye to this world.

"Isn't there any other way to leave here?"

Despite everything, Luo Qili still wanted to struggle one last time.

Zhao Yi shrugged.

Suddenly, Luo Qili grabbed his arm, exclaiming in grief:

"Since you guessed the way to leave here early on, why didn't you stop me just now?"

Zhao Yi pondered:

"I thought you had a special fetish for it..."

"I was going to tell you, but then I thought since the dungeon is about to end, I might as well let you indulge once..."

"If you like it, go for it boldly!"

Luo Qili: "..."

Damn indulgence!

She really wanted to die now...

Finally, night fell, and many players gathered at the plaza.

Their ways of leaving the mirror world varied, but the open terrain allowed them to better evade pursuit.

Everyone waited, tense.

The moon overhead was like a drawn bow.

Cold light like arrows.

In the final seconds, the anxiety disappeared.

Crack—

A sound of something breaking reached everyone's ears.

The barrier between their eyes and the fierce ghost shattered completely!

The twisted and vengeful specter crawled over along the edge of the mirror!

Some fierce ghosts disappeared from the players' eyes, appearing elsewhere, while some players, unprepared, were torn apart and devoured by the fierce ghosts!

These specters had clear targets and moved quickly, causing the players to scatter, and Zhao Yi took out his 'Adulterer's Skateboard' at this moment!

Chase me?

Go to hell!

Riding the Adulterer's Skateboard, the two of them led two fierce ghosts in a big circle, racing toward their photographed location!

Whoosh!

A giant female ghost suddenly spat out its tongue, turning it into a blood sword aimed at the two!

Zhao Yi executed a dragon tail swing, dodging the swift killing blow!

Luo Qili also began laying her sharp threads to hinder the pursuit of the two fierce ghosts!

She glanced back, already very close to their photographed location!

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from afar!

Blood splattered from Zhao Yi's shoulder!

He quickly glanced sideways, spotting Qin Xiufang in the distance, wielding two pistols and firing at him frantically!

Zhao Yi maneuvered the skateboard left and right, flashing a warm smile at the ferocious-looking Qin Xiufang.

Tenderness... knows no age!

Even if the other party was a seventy-year-old lady, Zhao Yi treated her no differently.

The blue flame Gatling in his hand was already preheated!

Seeing the Gatling in Zhao Yi's hand, Qin Xiufang's expression froze.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat...

A barrage of bullets rained down, and Qin Xiufang fell into a pool of blood on the ground, her body riddled with holes.

Her face still bore the terror from before her death.

At this moment, Zhao Yi and Luo Qili were also nearing the exit!

"Get off!"

Zhao Yi immediately stopped the skateboard, and the two ran in different directions!

Swish!

Zhao Yi passed through the shattered mirror without any obstruction, disappearing to the other side.

Luo Qili stood before the shattered mirror in the cesspit, hesitating for a moment.

She glanced back at the rapidly approaching specter.

The pressure was immense!

Damn it!

All or nothing!

Luo Qili steeled herself, held her breath, and without thinking twice, aimed for the mirror and jumped right in!

...

Live Streaming Room:

: Damn! Luo Qili is truly ruthless!

: Frankly, if it were me, I'd rather die than jump into a cesspit!

: I wonder if Ms. Luo will have a psychological shadow whenever she sees a cesspit in the future...

: Haha, I don't know about the cesspit, but she's definitely going to have a psychological shadow whenever she sees Zhao Yi...

...

Bright light, glaring white.

Regaining his vision, Zhao Yi found himself outside the guild's base.
