Where did this come from?
Lu Ren, who was idle, racked his brains and finally remembered a few days ago that he had fallen here while passing through a tunnel similar to an underwater environment. Suddenly, it felt like someone hit the back of his head with a heavy stick. Before he passed out, he vaguely heard the system successfully loading, information loading... current progress... and a bunch of similar phrases.
"Biological data monitoring panel?"
Just as he tried to delve deeper into his memories, Lana Ye, who was almost burned to a crisp by the fire, suddenly let out a painful howl with her three mouths.
"Lu Ren... Lu Ren, I’m in so much pain! Please save me, save me! Didn’t I cover for you when you skipped class back then, have you forgotten?!"
This was Wang Gang’s voice. Back in university, Wang Gang was generous and indeed took good care of Lu Ren.
Hearing this, Lu Ren couldn’t help but sigh. The image of Wang Gang in his mind had completely shattered, and this guy even talked behind his back, suggesting Lu Ren had some questionable tendencies, constantly flirting... it was utter nonsense!!
No matter how much he shouted now, it was useless, especially facing such a monster constructed from human bodies. For him to be moved by this would truly be a psychological twist.
Seeing Lu Ren remain unmoved, Lana Ye changed to another voice, crisp and melodious, yet exceptionally piercing.
"Lu Ren, Lu Ren! Please come save me, I’m begging you, didn’t you use to like me? I’ll agree to whatever you want as long as you can save me!!"
The voice was very seductive, the tone full of resentment, like a woman locked away, parched for ten years without affection.
Lu Ren used to like Zhang Qingya, but he was quite rational. After discovering Zhang Qingya was a certifiable manipulative girl, stringing along multiple people effortlessly, his heart turned as cold as fish that had been slaughtered in a market for ten years.
Seeing Lu Ren unresponsive, yet another voice emerged.
"Lu Ren, have you forgotten the days we drove supercars together? I used to take you cruising, helping you pick up girls!!"
Lu Ren scratched his ear, Luo Zixuan’s voice was still as grating. As a rich second generation, he enjoyed his wild lifestyle, believing money could buy everything. Mostly, it was Zhang Qingya who he swept away with loads of cash.
Under Zhang Qingya’s influence during college, Luo Zixuan’s views quickly changed, becoming the person described above, with their relationship deteriorating from initial friendship to indifference.
Overall, it was Zhang Qingya the manipulative girl pulling the strings, yet when Lu Ren discovered her real nature, he decisively gave up, even Wang Gang was enchanted by her.
Realizing Lu Ren remained unmoved, Lana Ye couldn’t help but let out a roar, enveloped in flames and rolling towards him directly.
Is this going to end in a mutual destruction scenario?!
Already prepared to flee, Lu Ren didn’t panic at all. As he quietly retreated, he turned and sprinted into the dense forest, rolling and crawling his way deeper with all his might.
In less than three minutes, Lu Ren was panting like a bellows, feeling like his chest was about to explode.
As a modern-day person who rarely exercises, maintaining an all-out sprint for three minutes under such conditions was a testament to his strong survival instincts.
"Ding, your agility proficiency has increased by 1 due to continuous running."
"Ding, your constitution proficiency has increased by 1 due to continuous running."
The only comfort for Lu Ren was the skill level notification constantly going off in his mind, and his body seemed to ease from fatigue, enabling him to maintain his speed thanks to some warm flow.
This skill level notification seemed to provide immediate feedback to the body from the exercise strengthening process.
But no matter the enhancement, achieving a qualitative change in this short time was impossible. The long hours of work had left him in a sub-healthy state.
At this moment, Lu Ren didn’t care about the notifications in his mind. He kept his eyes fixed ahead, not daring to make any mistake.
Behind him, Lana Ye was rolling madly forward, crashing through the dense forest and thickets, which greatly slowed their pursuit speed.
With branches breaking behind him, hot waves against his back, and Lana Ye’s howling screams, Lu Ren didn’t look back at all, convinced that the flammable secretion from Lana Ye would eventually burn her alive, but before that...
Suddenly, the dense forest in front of him opened up, revealing to Lu Ren a cliff, just seven or eight meters away.
Without hesitation, Lu Ren scrambled sideways, rolling and crawling to dodge.
Consumed by fiery rage, Lana Ye burst through the dense forest and saw what appeared to be a dark abyss that could swallow everything.
However, unable to stop, the inertia carried her four to five meters past the cliff, with several limbs flailing desperately to grasp any climbing holds, but even with a couple of extra bodies combined, the four to five meters distance was impossible to surmount.
"You’re so cruel, you’re so cruel!!!"
"Lu Ren, you’re so cruel!!!"
With a venomous scream of hatred, Lana Ye plummeted straight into the abyss, disappearing from view.
Not hearing any landing sound, Lu Ren took a deep breath, relaxed a bit, and finally lay on the ground, taking deep, hard breaths.
"Ding, in Lana Ye’s passionate chase, she fell off the cliff, killed by the ripples formed by the spatial weaves below. At the critical moment, Lana Ye split to preserve herself. You have received Lana Ye’s deep greetings and gained her praise. Your body attributes have all increased by 1."
"Ding, you have caught the attention of the Evil God, who is trying to communicate with you. Will you accept?"
Feeling slightly pained from the abrupt increase in attributes and sensing a whispering voice in his ears, Lu Ren hurriedly shouted: "Reject! Block it for me!!!"
Once the notification sound finally quieted down, Lu Ren began considering the chain of prompts that had appeared in his mind earlier.
Thinking of this, Lu Ren no longer felt back pain or sore legs, and after looking around to ensure there was no danger, he quickly turned and slipped back into the forest, making his way back to the spot where he had first fallen into this space, and climbed into the abandoned car.
This car was one that Lu Ren, Luo Zixuan, and two others had been traveling in together when they suddenly ended up here upon passing through a tunnel, and now it was stuck, unable to start no matter what they tried.
