this infinite world

——Something is not right.

Yang Yun thought so as he looked at the burning church in front of him.

Just now, Zheng Zha single-handedly killed Dalia Gilesby, a plot character who had transformed into a monster. However, the black flames that ignited from the monster set the entire church on fire, cutting off any possible clues inside… Then, in full view of everyone, Xiao Honglu, with tears in his eyes, looked at the burning church and disappeared into the air, completely drawn into the other world.

Even though Yang Yun knew what the loophole in Xiao Honglu's heart was, he also knew that the fire must have triggered the PTSD symptoms of this young genius, and it was reasonable for Alessa to pull him into the inner world. But when he saw Zheng Zha with a dark face, suppressing his anger, and whispering with Chu Xuan about what to do next, Yang Yun always felt a sense of "strangeness" that was not in harmony.

——There shouldn’t be any problem with everything.

The memories of the past in my mind are real and no matter how hard I think about them, I can't find any loopholes or flaws.

Whether it was the uneasiness when entering the main god space for the first time, or the first time I passed the life and death line through the laser channel with the help of Zheng Zha; it was the tension of the battle of wits and courage between Ye and Chu Xuan before entering the curse plane, or the pain that penetrated into the bone marrow and soul when the genetic lock was suddenly unlocked, thinking about it today is still so vivid and vivid, as if it was just placed deep in the memory, and I can recall it completely with a little thought.

——But, it’s too normal.

Indeed, whether it was Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, Xiao Honglu or Cheng Xiao, there was nothing wrong with their personalities and abilities. Being too normal was sometimes abnormal.

Yang Yun's gaze swept over his companions one by one, Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, Lingdian, Zhao Yingkong, Wang Xia, Cheng Xiao... They were very similar to the people in the original work. If Yang Yun himself was replaced by Qi Tengyi who had not been resurrected at this time, then the personnel configuration could be said to be a complete replica, and even the comparison of strength was not much different.

——Even if there are positive people manipulating behind the scenes, is the so-called "plot correction power" really so strong that the many horror movies that the Zhongzhou team entered are no different from "Infinite Horror", and even the order has not changed?

At the beginning, it seemed like the voice was calling me. Zheng Zha's destructive power was inconsistent with my subconscious. I was not a person with physical enhancement abilities, but I was able to touch the double A-level Sword of Promised Victory with my finger skin. And even Zhang Jie, a demon king-level soul cultivator, was trapped in Silent Hill. But I, who had never overcome my inner demons, didn't care about the danger hidden deep in my heart...

"Yang Yun? Are you okay?"

Suddenly, Zheng Zha's voice interrupted Yang Yun's thoughts: "Have you thought of some key points that we haven't thought of?"

"No, I was just daydreaming."

Yang Yun exhaled, stretched out his right fist and said, "Zheng Zha, can I stand shoulder to shoulder with you?"

"...Until death, of course."

Zheng Zha was stunned when he heard Yang Yun's sudden words. Then he stretched out his fist and bumped fists with Yang Yun: "Are you worried that you have fallen into the inner demons? Don't worry, this is not the other world... at least not yet."

Although the previous words were very powerful, the last sentence still revealed that Zheng Zha was not as confident as he said. Zheng Zha himself seemed to have noticed this fact and quickly added: "Fortunately, Chu Xuan already has a plan... Since Alessa launched the attack without concealing it, and even pulled Xiao Honglu into the inner world in front of us, it means that she already has a certain support, but this is also our opportunity. When she attacks, she will definitely reveal a flaw. Whether we can catch her trace in this attack depends on ourselves."

"So, we need to force the development of the plot... We will split into teams." Under the gaze of everyone, Zheng Zha announced his decision as the captain of the Zhongzhou team: "I, Chu Xuan, Lingdian, Wang Xia, Cheng Xiao and four newcomers will form a team to go to the hospital to explore and see if we can find the doctor Kaufman in the plot. He has an important plot prop, the exorcism potion Agrafortis."

"Yang Yun, you and Zhao Yingkong go to the antique shop and see what's hidden in the second church inside the shop. If you meet characters from the plot, it's best to act with them. Only by finding out the truth behind Silent Hill as soon as possible can we break this unsolvable situation."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise. First, it was because Zheng Zha's team was too strange. One team had a large number of people, including four newcomers, while the other team had only two people. Second, after Zheng Zha said this obviously unreasonable statement, Chu Xuan did not raise any objection. This was unprecedented.

But Zheng Zha completely ignored everyone's doubts and looked straight at Yang Yun and said, "That's about it... Yang Yun, what is your choice?"

"I--"

……

"My suspicions have been confirmed."

Unlike the others who were confused or surprised, Chu Xuan's first reaction after hearing Zheng Zha's words was to nod, accepting Zheng Zha's statement about "reset": "If it is a time travel, then with your perception of time and space, you will definitely not be unaware of it."

"In this way, we are one step closer to the truth."

"…I don't quite understand. Will understanding this improve our current situation?"

Others still didn't understand what Chu Xuan was talking about, but Qi Teng understood what Chu Xuan meant. But because of this, he raised the corresponding question: "Whether it is time travel or the reset of the world, it must be directly related to Dr. Manhattan, and we lack the means to deal with it..."

"some."

Before Qi Tengyi finished speaking, Chu Xuan interrupted him. The young man pointed to the yellow badge that was still tightly held in Zheng Zha's hand and said, "No matter how we return to the origin, there will always be some traces left here."

"What do you mean?" Qi Teng frowned and asked, "Chu Xuan, have you figured out a way to prevent yourself from being 'reset'?"

"Not yet, there is only a quantitative amount available for testing, which is too little at the moment."

Chu Xuan replied calmly: "But all the answers we need can be found in Antarctica."

"Next, let's go find Pharaoh." (End of this chapter)
