"More importantly: After the operation is over, no matter how much you trust someone, you must not mention what you saw to them; otherwise, it will definitely bring you immense trouble."
Recalling this, and reflecting on the scene he had just witnessed in the underground bar, Ke Qirui couldn’t help but gasp.
Mythical-level Curiosities Fragment?
According to a revelation from a friend who is an Anecdote Envoy, that’s something even Catastrophe Level Superpower Users can’t compare to. Why would it appear in such a place?
And what connection does the red light and this mysterious organization have?
In an instant, Ke Qirui’s mind was overflowing with thoughts, and his entire being seemed to be enveloped in clouds and fog, as if even the image of the Black Cocoon grew more mysterious.
Since this organization is so powerful and secretive, why would Black Cocoon know the inner workings of it... Did he join our operation to resist this organization?
"What’s the background of this guy...?"
As she pondered, Xia Pingzhou suddenly spoke, using an urgent tone they had never heard before:
"Ke Qirui, hurry up, use the Movie Demon to take everyone away from here!"
As his words fell, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and they immediately cast puzzled glances at him.
"What’s the reason?" Ke Qirui asked, enunciating each word.
She thought: Those kids are still keeping watch outside, she could at most relocate the train group to a nearby location, but in this way, they would still be caught up by the Somersault Cloud, so what’s the point?
"Don’t ask, just hurry!" Xia Pingzhou almost shouted, as the Queen Giant beside him had fiery sparks burning in its eyes, even Su Zimai was startled.
But at that moment, under the black moon, a black prompt box suddenly appeared.
"Still too slow..." Xia Pingzhou looked at the black game prompt box, his face sinking.
From the moment Mario said he could track this alternate world to the loading of the game scene, there was only two seconds for him to react. To expect Ke Qirui to take everyone away in those two seconds was sheer fantasy.
At this moment, this huge game prompt box drew the gaze of everyone present.
They simultaneously looked up, only to see the prompt box displaying:
[The game is loading...]
This short line of English brought them immense eeriness and shock, like seeing a clown with a sinister smile holding a balloon in an amusement park.
"After all, it still came..." Xia Pingzhou thought, realizing he couldn’t prevent Mario from tracking them here.
"What is this, Captain?"
Su Zimai was stunned, shimmering eyes reflecting that line of English.
Ke Qirui remained silent, lifting her eyes from under the brim, staring intently at the prompt box.
"Just in case, should we leave?" Thinking of this, she raised her hand to adjust the Single-sided Mirror, aiming to use the power of the Movie Demon to quickly take everyone present.
But she couldn’t do it.
The movie screen did not appear; instead, a cold prompt box suddenly popped up.
[Within the "60-second administrator maintenance period," you cannot force logout from the game.]
"Sixty seconds?" Ke Qirui raised an eyebrow, "Is it the Heavenly Drive power of those kids?"
At that moment, colors suddenly appeared in the black-and-white world of Silent Street.
The surrounding buildings were scraped away like the scratch-off layer on a lottery ticket, gradually revealing the true face hidden underneath.
"What’s happening?" Lin Zhengquan frowned.
They lifted their heads high, looking around.
A Primitive Jungle surged out of the concrete ground, with gigantic trees towering like giants, and bushes capable of overshadowing high-rises frantically growing upward, shrouding the Gothic buildings on the long street, enclosing them within.
Xia Pingzhou lifted his gaze, noticing that the leaves of the ferns flickered with a [Destructible Vegetation] game marker.
The whole world was crumbling, or rather... another world was replacing the original one. The black part of the sky was shattering, like tiles falling from the ceiling during an earthquake.
Next, a bright sun peeked out through the cracked sky, shining down like dawn, relentlessly driving away all the gray.
The black-and-white world of the silent street had utterly vanished.
In its stead, under the blazing sun, a desert reminiscent of ancient epochs gleamed. The towering trees surrounding them grew wildly, like demons reaching persistently upwards, attempting to extend their claws towards the sky.
Xia Pingzhou and Lin Zhengquan stood in the sunlight, dazed.
"What on earth is this..."
They murmured in unison, their minds struck by massive bewilderment and impact.
Ke Qirui raised an eyebrow, murmuring softly: "Really bold, forcing a way into the space created by the Movie Demon, what kind of monster can achieve this level?"
Coming to her senses, this Gothic silent street had been completely replaced by another scenery.
A vibrant and wild green entered her sight, conspicuously a vast Primitive Jungle. To the east of the jungle lay an expansive grassland and a long river. On the west side, deep within the jungle, stood a towering cliff.
"Is this... a forest?"
Ke Qirui whispered softly, constantly trying to communicate with the Movie Demon to take everyone away from here, but she was only met with a red exclamation mark.
