this infinite world

"It's because of the fog."

While Yang Yun was still wondering why Zheng Zha's destructive power was so limited, Xiao Honglu, who was holding an instrument and seemed to be doing some analysis, had already looked at the mist in front of him and came to the corresponding conclusion: "This mist has the effect of hindering mental scanning, and Alessa grew up in the environment of Silent Hill since she was a child. She is very familiar with this mist. I'm afraid she just took advantage of her home field to pull Zhang Jie into the other world..."

As he spoke, Xiao Honglu shook his head and sighed: "This is really the most unfavorable scenario... for us at the moment."

"Then let's dispel all this damn fog."

As expected, Zheng Zha, who had not yet completely calmed down, looked around and chose to solve the problem in the simplest and most brutal way. He looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Chu Xuan, use the magic cannon! With your magic cannon and my spiritual light white flame, mist or something like that can't withstand a single blow!"

——Bai Yan? I remember that Zheng Zha’s inner light didn’t seem to be this...

Hearing Zheng Zha's words, Yang Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief - due to the butterfly effect caused by himself, Zheng Zha's spiritual light has turned into the spiritual light "White Flame" that corresponds to the replica Zheng Zha Li Yan, and not the original latent dragon transformation that increased physical fitness by a percentage. What was wrong with what he said?
——I always feel like I’m always a beat slow in reacting... Could it be that, as Zheng Zha said, it’s a sequelae of brain damage?

Rubbing his temple, Yang Yun turned his gaze to Chu Xuan. Zheng Zha's question was just right. In fact, he was also very curious about why Chu Xuan hadn't said a word from the beginning to now, as if he had been offline...

"Mortal wisdom."

However, the next moment, Chu Xuan answered Zheng Zha's question in the most Chu Xuan way: "Let me ask you, do you know how large an area this fog covers? Where is the source of this fog? What should I do if the fog still cannot be dispersed after using the magic cannon? What are the consequences of using the magic cannon?"

"Have you considered all of this?"

Yeah, it tastes just right.

Hearing Chu Xuan's cold tone, which was exactly the same as the words in "Infinite Horror", Yang Yun immediately put aside his doubts about Chu Xuan in front of him... After all, he was simply unable to reproduce the essence of the strongest wise man of the Zhongzhou team. Even Freddy from the original Nightmare on Elm Street could only do a poor imitation.

As expected, after being asked four or five questions in a row by Chu Xuan, Zheng Zha suddenly felt like a deflated ball. His anger disappeared without a trace. He could only say dejectedly, "Then what do you say we should do?"

But what puzzled everyone was that Chu Xuan remained silent after saying this, and lowered his head to begin studying the mist at hand. No one knew whether he was deliberately keeping the secret or he really had no idea... Helplessly, Zheng Zha had to look to Yang Yun and Xiao Honglu beside him for help.

"First, we need to analyze the composition of this fog."

Without waiting for Xiao Honglu to speak, Yang Yun spoke naturally: "No matter how we act next, we must know ourselves and the enemy. Since the fog is the key to Silent Hill, then analyzing and cracking it is our main task... Chu Xuan, Xiao Honglu, this task is left to the two of you."

"Secondly, don't forget that the theme of this game is to overcome inner demons. So if nothing unexpected happens, Alesha will most likely attack us and pull us into her inner world. In other words, she will construct our own inner world within her own inner world, and let us be deeply trapped in our inner demons and unable to extricate ourselves..." As he spoke, Yang Yun casually drew a line in the air with one finger, and the green life energy turned into simple lines, forming a stable pattern: "The worldview of Silent Hill is not difficult to understand. We don't need to consider the possibility of multiple dreams. There is only a downward relationship layer by layer. The real world, the surface world, the inner world, each layer needs to rely on the existence of the upper world."

Yang Yun recalled the scene when Zhang Jie disappeared. "In addition, Zhang Jie disappeared from our sight. Although it was only for a short moment, he was pulled into the inner world at that moment. If the other party had the ability to pull all of us into the inner world, we would definitely have noticed it by now."

"So according to my deduction, there is a high possibility that Alesha's ability can only work on us alone. Therefore, everyone should not leave each other's sight. Zhan Lan needs to use the mind chain to connect everyone and keep an eye on everyone's situation."

"That's basically it... Wait, why are you looking at me like that?"

"...No, Yang Yun, how did you do this?"

Zheng Zha stared blankly at the green lines and patterns that lingered in the air for a long time, and subconsciously condensed his true energy into his fingertips and drew with force. As a result, although the white true energy also condensed into patterns in the air, the thickness of the lines and the smoothness of the bends were completely incomparable to Yang Yun's.

Not long after, the pattern drawn by the true energy dissipated, accompanied by a sharp explosion, and disappeared into the air like fireworks. Seeing this, Zheng Zha immediately looked at Yang Yun with a surprised look.

"Uh... self-taught? Zheng Zha, the quality of your true energy is much higher than my life energy. It's normal that you can't control it freely."

Yang Yun smiled awkwardly. Although he didn't know why he could use this skill so easily, he didn't feel any difficulty at all. It was as smooth and natural as flowing water. "Besides, Zheng Zha, you have always been strong and powerful, so you are naturally not as good as me in this kind of subtleties..."

As if to change the subject, Yang Yun quickly said to Xiao Honglu beside him: "Xiao Honglu, is there anything you want to add?"

"…You've already said it all, what else do I have to say?"

Xiao Honglu's young face showed obvious dissatisfaction, an expression of "unconvinced, but unable to think of what to say". He looked at Yang Yun helplessly, then sighed and said, "It's a complete plan, and it's not just me. You have made all the arrangements for everyone on behalf of Zheng Zha. Do you still need me?"

"……yes."

Hearing this, Zheng Zha immediately came back to his senses from what Yang Yun had just done. He said with emotion: "Compared to me as the captain, you are busy running around, communicating and coordinating with everyone, and have made achievements in both 'intelligence' and 'power'. In fact, you are more like the real captain of the Zhongzhou team than me..."

It was clearly a casual remark from Zheng Zha to comfort him, but it made Yang Yun a little stunned. After hearing this, he only had one thought in his mind...

——The real captain of the Zhongzhou team, are you talking about me?
——But I just did what I was supposed to do as usual? (End of this chapter)
