Chapter 576: How to escape from the illusion

Luo Jun's appearance surprised everyone present!

But then, Zhai Xixi shouted, "Run! This monster is very dangerous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Subject No. 9 turned around, roared, and pounced towards Luo Jun!

"Be careful……"

Zhuge Huang endured the severe pain and reminded him, but the next scene made him swallow the rest of his words.

Facing the monster that was rushing towards him, a dazzling aura suddenly rose from Luo Jun's body. He grabbed the monster's tail with one hand and threw a powerful uppercut with the other hand, hitting the monster's chin!

boom!
With a loud bang, Subject No. 9 was knocked high into the air by the punch. Then, Luo Jun soared into the air and reached the ceiling first. He turned in the air and kicked his feet, falling from the sky. He punched the monster on the back and knocked it to the ground from mid-air!
Then Luo Jun fell down, grabbed the monster's ears with both hands, inserted his index finger into the ear hole, and then, he used both hands to exert his power. A burst of electric sparks flashed, shocking the monster so much that its whole body trembled!

The powerful electric light lasted for almost a minute before Luo Jun finally stopped. The huge monster fell completely silent, with white smoke rising from its body. The people watching could even smell the aroma of meat.

This series of operations shocked everyone.

"You... you actually have Gang Qi?!" Zhai Xixi looked at the monster corpse on the ground in surprise: "And you can still use your abilities?"

"Lightning Control Technique..." Lei Tianyang gritted his teeth and propped himself up: "You can even control lightning?"

"Stop moving." Luo Jun walked up, raised his arm to open the treasure box, took out a few pills and fed them to the injured people, then ran to Lao Miaomiao, took out the healing spray and bandages to treat her.

Seeing this scene, several people's jaws dropped to the ground. Xiao Tian said in disbelief: "It's fine that you can use your abilities, but how come you even have a treasure box?"

Luo Jun chuckled when he heard this: "I'm actually wondering why you have become so weak?" As he said that, he waved his hand, and the light of the aura flashed across his fingertips.

"It seems that my analysis is correct." Zhuge Huang looked at Luo Jun: "Your mental strength is strong enough to reduce the impact on you. Although you were pulled into the illusion like us, you retained more strength."

"So, isn't Luo Jun the strongest among us?" Old Miaomiao had recovered a lot under his emergency treatment. She looked at Luo Jun and asked, "Where have you been for so long?"

Luo Jun shrugged and said, "I've been wandering around the fourth and fifth floors, but couldn't find you. I thought I was the only one who was pulled in. Then I noticed that the elevator went up and down several times, so I ran down to take a look. I didn't expect to find you!"

"You are on the fourth and fifth floors?" Zhuge Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is there any way to get out?"

"Go out?" Luo Jun was confused: "Where to go out?"

"Of course, I'm going to get out of this building." Xiao Tian covered his chest and could feel that the injuries in his body were recovering.

"Get out of the building?" Luo Jun blinked his eyes: "Then just climb to the fifth floor."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "There is an exit on the fifth floor?"

Luo Jun nodded: "There is no danger on the fifth floor. We can go to the rooftop. The rooftop is already outside."

"Then why didn't you go out?" Lei Tianyang asked.

"I went to the rooftop." Luo Jun shrugged, "But nothing happened."

"What's on the rooftop?" Zhuge Huang asked, "What does it look like outside?"

"Outside..." Luo Jun recalled, "It was dark outside, with dark clouds covering the sky so that even the moon could not be seen. The fifth floor was one size larger than the floors below, like a large mushroom head on top. The entire hospital was built on a high platform, with a bottomless abyss all around. If you jumped down, you didn't know how high you would be."

After listening to Luo Jun's description, Zhuge Huang fell into deep thought. Then he looked at Luo Jun's hand and asked, "Where is your Calming Candle?"

Luo Jun shrugged his shoulders. "I was still holding it when I was teleported in, but I was besieged by a group of monsters on the fourth floor. I accidentally extinguished it during the battle, and I couldn't light it up again, so I threw it away."

"Without the centering candle, you can actually maintain your self?" Zhuge Huang was surprised: "Your mental power is really terrifying, but it's a pity that you are not an illusionist..."

“It’s not that bad.” Luo Jun said a little embarrassedly, “When I stood on the roof and stared into the abyss below, I felt like my consciousness was being swallowed up, so I didn’t dare to stay there for long and finally took the elevator down.”

Hearing this, Zhuge Huang pondered for a while, then nodded: "I think I know how to leave here!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard this and asked, "Why are you leaving?"

Zhuge Huang shook his head: "We have to go to the first floor to meet up with Ling Xin and the others. We have to go together."

Everyone immediately turned back and took the elevator back to the first floor. Before the elevator door opened, they could already hear the sound of fighting outside, accompanied by the roar of the butcher monster.

Everyone in the elevator was ready for a fight. The moment the door opened, everyone rushed out and saw a figure flying down from the second floor. It was Ling Xin who was knocked down!
Luo Jun's body was filled with strong energy, and he rushed forward first, catching Ling Xin in mid-air. His other hand summoned a gentle wind element, carrying the two of them to the ground steadily.

"Luo, Luo Jun?!" Ling Xin saw clearly who caught her and was pleasantly surprised: "Are you okay? Did they find you?"

Luo Jun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, leave it to me next."

"Monsters are not that easy to deal with!" Ling Xin looked up at the second floor: "Lu Fei is still up there! Without me, he won't be able to hold on for long!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud crash, and a pile of debris on the second floor exploded. Lu Fei also flew backwards, vomiting blood in mid-air. The machete in his hand broke into two pieces, and even the spiritual candle was broken and completely extinguished!

Seeing this, Luo Jun rushed over to catch Lu Fei and fed him a pill. Before the two of them landed, they heard a loud noise from the second floor, and saw the huge butcher leaping high, raising the giant axe in his hand and slashing at the two of them!

Luo Jun hurriedly pushed Lu Fei away and used the force to retreat to the side. The butcher's axe missed the target and hit the ground, creating a huge crack!

"It's powerful, but it's just brute force." As the only one who can use his ability, Luo Jun is full of confidence and shouts to the others: "I'll deal with him, you guys go to the fifth floor and wait for me!"

Seeing that everyone seemed to be hesitant, Luo Jun activated his Qi and kicked the butcher in the stomach. The fire element condensed under his feet exploded and knocked the butcher away, showing his powerful power: "Don't worry about me, let's go, there are only two candles left, we can't let it extinguish them again!"

Seeing that the butcher had stood up again and rushed up with a huge axe, the others gritted their teeth and got into the elevator, pressed the fifth floor, and then frantically pressed the close door button.

At the moment when the elevator door was about to close, they saw Luo Jun rushing towards the butcher with fire in one hand and lightning in the other.

"Boom!" The huge explosion caused the ascending elevator car to tremble slightly.

"I hope Luo Jun is okay..." Old Miaomiao said worriedly.

"His mental power is very strong." Zhuge Huang gritted his teeth and said, "He can maintain his own self without the centering candle, which means that he can break some of the rules of the illusion...Here, he may be able to exert a stronger power than in reality! Instead of worrying about him, we should hurry to the rooftop!"

As they were talking, the elevator had stopped on the fifth floor. The elevator door opened, and a huge and spacious circular hall appeared before everyone!

"Is this the fifth floor?" Xiao Tian was surprised. "It's completely different from the floors below. There's not a single clutter. It's so clean."

"Rather than calling it a floor, it's more like a huge arena." Lu Fei looked around and asked, "Where do we get to the rooftop?"

"It's the one in the middle!" Zhai Xixi pointed to the center of the venue, where there was a pillar and a spiral staircase leading to the roof could be vaguely seen on it.

"Let's go and take a look!" Zhuge Huang took the lead and walked towards the middle: "Everyone, be careful. Although Luo Jun said that there is no danger on this floor, we should be prepared for the worst..."

However, Zhuge Huang's worries did not come true until they climbed the spiral staircase in the middle. They went all the way up to the top and finally saw a small door on the ceiling. After opening it, they were on the rooftop.

Everyone went up to the rooftop... It was a huge circular plaza, and looking up they could see the dark night sky covered with dark clouds. Fortunately, the hospital had some lighting, so the surrounding environment was not so dark that they could not see their hands in front of them.

Everyone came to the edge of the rooftop. There was no guardrail, only a parapet less than half a meter high. They could step over it with just a lift of their legs. Below was a terrifying abyss with no bottom in sight...

"It's really just like what Luo Jun said..." Zhai Xixi took a look and stepped back, patting her chest: "When I looked down, I felt creepy and dizzy, as if I was really going to be swallowed by endless darkness."

"Then try this again." Zhuge Huang said, handing her a calming candle.

Zhai Xixi held the calming candle in her hand and came to the edge of the rooftop again, looking down. This time, the fear and fainting feeling in her heart were alleviated a lot.

"It's much better this time..." Zhai Xixi turned around and looked at Zhuge Huang: "What's going on?"

Zhuge Huang also came to the edge of the rooftop and glanced down: "If I'm not mistaken, the abyss below is the way to leave here."

"What?" Others were surprised: "How is this possible?"

"The last thing the creator of the illusion wants to see is the trapped people leaving the illusion. Therefore, at the exit, some mechanisms are often set up to prevent us from leaving." Zhuge Huang looked at the abyss below: "So, when we get close to this abyss, we will feel that our soul and consciousness are about to be deprived. On the one hand, it is to warn us not to jump down, and on the other hand, even if we really jump down, we will be completely lost in the environment before we hit the bottom and will never be able to leave."

"So, the way to leave is to stay true to yourself while jumping into the abyss, so as not to get lost. Then you may be able to get out!"

"This...will this really work?" Lu Fei was a little worried, but Xiao Tian already grinned: "Interesting, this way of playing is exciting!"

"This is not a joke!" Old Miaomiao scolded, turning to look at Zhuge Huang: "What if we fail?"

"Even if we fail, we still have Luo Jun." Ling Xin said, "His wind magic can't make us fly, but at least it can control our falling speed. If we really guess wrong, we won't fall to our death, and we can escape from this mental hospital. Maybe we can find other ways to break the illusion."

While everyone was talking, there was a noise behind them. Looking back, they saw Luo Jun also climbing up from the fifth floor.

"You got rid of that monster?" Lei Tianyang asked in surprise.

"I killed it!" Luo Jun said with a smile.

“Kill it?” Several people widened their eyes: “That monster will be reborn and become even more powerful!”

"I know!" Luo Jun said with a smile, "It will take time for it to be reborn. Didn't Professor Zhuge say there is a way to get out?"

"This..." Everyone told Zhuge Huang about his idea. Luo Jun thought for a few seconds and nodded: "I think it's worth a try!"

"I have searched the fourth floor and there is indeed no way to get out. Professor Zhuge's suggestion is the most feasible and the only way at the moment. Don't worry, I feel stronger here. I will support you all and at least make sure you don't fall to your death."

"I think it's feasible." Ling Xin nodded and said, "We'd better make a decision quickly, otherwise a more powerful butcher will catch up with us."

In the end, most people agreed with the method of jumping off the building, and Zhuge Huang also made up his mind. Everyone gathered together to ensure that they could be illuminated by the light of the two centering candles, and then counted one, two, three together, and then held hands and jumped from the edge of the roof!

As gravity accelerated, everyone quickly sank into darkness. Everyone felt a cold feeling engulfing them. The two candles in such darkness were like canoes in a storm, and they seemed like they could capsize at any time...

As it fell, Assistant He's calming candle finally couldn't bear the weight and suddenly went out!

"Oh no!" Zhuge Huang shouted immediately, "Quick, everyone, get closer to me, and stay within the candlelight!"

Others began to gather here, and Luo Jun also used wind magic, but the last candle kept shaking in the darkness, and once it went out, everyone would be swallowed by the darkness!

"Hold on... hold on..." Zhuge Huang felt his consciousness begin to blur, but he still used his last bit of strength to pray: "You must..."

"hold onto!!!"

With a loud roar, Zhuge Huang stood up from his seat, and then he found that there was light around him and he was still standing in the conference room of Pricewaterhouse University.

In front of him was Han Guoli, whose body was twisted and dead. Surrounding him were students and Assistant He, who were rubbing their eyes and looked dazed.

"Have we left the illusion?" Zhuge Huang breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down. He looked at the candles in everyone's hands; they had all gone out, leaving only his own still lit.

"Thanks to this last one..." Zhuge Huang smiled and sighed: "You have also completed your mission..."

As he spoke, he cut off the energy supply and blew out the candle with a whoosh.

And at the moment the candle went out, Han Guoli's twisted corpse suddenly turned its head and faced him with a weird smile.

"Finally... I was fooled..."
