Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 129 Coma
Everyone stared blankly as Mu Xiang returned to the driver's seat. Some people silently closed their eyes, while others looked at each other in bewilderment. The atmosphere in the car immediately became strange.

When Zhang Jie first entered the horror movie scene, he was still a bit listless, but he had improved a lot along the way. At this moment, he and Zheng Zha were staring blankly at each other when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Both Ba Wang and Long Taobing, who had been chatting with them the whole way, were a bit tired. Long Taobing seemed to have already fallen asleep, which didn't surprise Zhang Jie; but even Ba Wang, who was known for his excellent physical condition, was snoring…

Newcomer Zhang Heng always maintained a cool demeanor, and now he too had fallen asleep with a cool expression.

Zhang Jie looked around and was surprised to find that Zhao Yingkong and Lingdian had also fallen asleep... With Zhang Jie's abilities, he could of course tell whether they were pretending to sleep or really asleep.

These three assassins… well, Zhang Jie actually didn't think Zhang Heng was an assassin. In Zhang Jie's view, it was almost unimaginable that Zhao Yingkong and Zero Point were so relaxed. But Zhang Jie carefully sensed their physical condition and found that they hadn't been attacked.

Although Zhan Lan's mental strength stat was much higher than Zhang Jie's, as a powerhouse capable of fully utilizing dual A-level telekinesis, Zhang Jie wasn't afraid of Zhan Lan's use of mental strength. Using his mental strength to probe under Zhan Lan's nose wouldn't immediately reveal his abilities.

Then Zhang Jie withdrew his mental probe and began to chat quietly with Zheng Zha. If he probed any further, the little girl might detect the mental fluctuations.

Looking at everyone's reactions in the rearview mirror, Mu Xiang couldn't help but frown slightly.

Is it a necessary step for everyone else to be asleep?

[Zhan Lan has the highest mental strength, Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie are the strongest... Qi Tengyi isn't asleep, perhaps because he also strengthened his mental strength.]

But why isn't Liu Xi asleep either?

As he pondered, the road ahead suddenly turned into complete darkness. It was as if the road markings had suddenly stopped reflecting light, leaving only a faint sense of direction for Mu Xiang to continue forward.

Like Linda in the movie, Mu Xiang stuck his head out of the car window and took a look.

Sure enough, beneath the vehicle was no longer a road, but only impenetrable darkness.

With Mu Xiang's current eyesight, even on a gloomy, dark night, he could see the stars and moon through the clouds. But this darkness was completely impenetrable; Mu Xiang couldn't even discern the layers of darkness.

Suddenly, the darkness was ripped open by countless bolts of lightning... These bolts exploded beneath the vehicle, revealing boundless dark clouds.

Mu Xiang silently gazed at the boundless sea of ​​clouds below the car, then a slight thought stirred within him. Something else had touched his spirit; he heard something murmuring amidst the rolling thunder.

"I can't see through it..." Mu Xiang stared for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was beneath the clouds. Perhaps there were monsters beneath the clouds, but Mu Xiang had no sense of danger whatsoever.

He spat out the window out of boredom, then continued driving forward.

From the moment he stepped out of the car to the front, he was surrounded by lightning. Amidst the rising and falling white light, Mu Xiang glimpsed that everyone had fallen into a deep sleep.

Even Zhang Jie couldn't resist? Is it because his skill level isn't high enough, or...?

With a muffled thud, the wheel rolled onto the ground with a different feel.

Mu Xiang knew this was the tunnel leading to Hobbs Town. The tunnel was paved with wooden planks, and the car immediately began to bump.

He looked out the window, where countless windows of various styles were visible. These windows must have been cut into the tunnel walls; some were filled with blinding white light, while others revealed views of the outside world.

The windows are right next to each other, but the one above shows an endless wilderness, while the one below shows a bustling traffic; the one before is a view of flat land, while the one after is a view of high-rise buildings.

The interwoven scenery flashed past Mu Xiang's eyes, and strange sounds, like the wind howling, reached his ears. Listening carefully, he could hear something shrieking in the wind, but it wasn't a human voice.

This high-frequency information bombardment could temporarily disrupt a person's thinking, but Mu Xiang merely raised an eyebrow. Then, white light shone directly into the car, unlike the previous lightning and the light emanating from the tunnel; this light came directly from the front.

The tunnel was illuminated by a white light at its end, revealing an unremarkable wooden structure. Mu Xiang sneered and floored the accelerator.

Finally, the bus burst out of the tunnel.

Its daybreak.

Mu Xiang wasn't blinded by the sudden bright daylight; he glanced at the rearview mirror. The mirror showed the tunnel they had just passed through…

There were no windows in the tunnel, and the rural scenery on the other side could be seen at a glance. It seemed that the tunnel was just an ordinary wooden plank built over the river.

Mu Xiang snapped his fingers, creating a deafening explosion.

Everyone woke up, looked at Mu Xiang with some confusion, and then peered out of the car window.

"You've been working all night?" Long Taobing rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise.

Mu Xiang felt something was off. He glanced at Long Taobing, then continued driving: "We've arrived. Let's go to the hotel."

He took a look and realized that there were now eleven people including himself. Could it be that Sutter Kane was accepting all comers?
A sign on the roadside that read "Hobb's End" attracted everyone's attention. Zhan Lan touched her forehead and said, "Looks like it worked."

Mu Xiang nodded, then continued driving forward.

The town of Hobbes was eerily quiet; though it was daytime, it was utterly silent. Evergreen and deciduous trees lined the roads, while the streets were covered with an unswept carpet of golden leaves.

But it's hard to believe that no one lives in this town... because these fallen leaves just look like they haven't been swept for a day.

The wheels rolled over withered leaves, making a crisp cracking sound. Mu Xiang quite liked this sound, so he started humming a song again.

Just as he was about to turn the corner, a dog suddenly darted out from the street corner. Mu Xiang knew what was going to happen, but instead of slowing down, he pressed the accelerator even harder.

"Hello." Liu Xi's voice rang out, her eyebrows slightly raised as she stared at Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang glanced at her in the rearview mirror, then shrugged.

As I turned the corner, a group of children ran past, their lips pursed and their expressions equally menacing. Anyone who saw them could sense something was wrong... Normal children, when chasing and playing, would never behave with such silence and stillness.

They didn't seem to be chasing and playing around; they seemed to be hunting down the dog.

Of course, these were all superficial to Mu Xiang... He knew what was most wrong.

That is, before the dog and the group of children came out, he had not heard any sound, no footsteps, no breathing, no heartbeat... In other words, this place should have been empty.

"These are all illusions, you should understand that, right?" Mu Xiang said casually. "It seems you are the one most deeply corrupted among the rest, otherwise you should be like them and unable to see these things."

The other senior members were stunned for a moment, not knowing what they were talking about.

“It seems the main god has increased the difficulty, otherwise none of you could have been corrupted to the same degree as Trent… You saw things that even he couldn’t see.” Mu Xiang paused for a moment, then contacted Zhan Lan in his mind, “Give her some purifying psionic energy… Treating the symptoms on a spiritual level should have some effect.”
