Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 159 Reply

Zhao Yingkong was not careless at all, and instantly entered gene-lock mode. While running, her hands were always in the most suitable position, enough to deal with any situation and attack from any suitable angle.

The sword was incredibly sharp; the moment the blurry shadow swept out, the sound of flesh being pierced rang out.

Zhao Yingkong didn't turn around; her feet seemed to haven't moved, yet she appeared ten meters away the next moment. Behind her, four humanoid figures of different shapes silently looked at her, then one by one they split apart.

The one closest to her had just materialized from the space when it crashed into Xiao Lian and was instantly sliced ​​in two.

Zhao Yingkong habitually shook the short sword in her hand before remembering that this sword was unstained with blood.

She silently looked around, observing the room numbers. Although they were all in the same corridor, the floor numbers on the room numbers were different, and the last digits of the numbers seemed to follow no pattern.

"Sakura, we're out. Can we meet up?" Zhan Lan's voice rang in her mind. She briefly explained the situation and continued walking down the corridor.

The entire hotel space has been distorted, a distortion that is even visible to the naked eye. Many seemingly ordinary places reveal abnormalities upon closer inspection, such as misaligned light and shadow or chaotic lines…

This is what you see deep inside the corridor. The hotel has actually put a lot of effort into its architectural design. To avoid unpleasant visual effects, it avoids overly long and monotonous corridors, and tries its best to use twists and turns to add interest and beauty.

But now, the entire corridor on the floor seemed to have been straightened by an invisible hand, stretching from Zhao Yingkong's feet into the endless distance. The deeper one went into the corridor, the more dazzling the light became. And on one side of the corridor, beams of darkness streamed in from outside, leaving one shadow after another in the corridor.

Zhao Yingkong turned around and looked behind her, only to find the same scene behind her... an endless corridor, endless light, and endless dark windows.

She silently turned the doorknob of a room and tossed it into the air. The next moment, Zhao Yingkong's figure disappeared, leaving only a whooshing sound as the air was torn apart.

Then, Zhao Yingkong appeared from behind and caught the doorknob that had just been dropped.

boring.

This was Zhao Yingkong's idea. She casually tossed aside the doorknob and then coldly looked at the dark figures in the corridor. Countless black hands reached out from the shadows on the ground, then transformed into various human figures, whispering something as they stood up.

Zhao Yingkong silently explained her situation to Zhan Lan in her mind... Although she was usually taciturn, she would naturally not hide anything during wartime. Zhan Lan's mental power was ineffective against these anomalies, so her reminder would be very useful.

Strangely, the figures that stood up in front of her did not rush towards Zhao Yingkong, but instead rushed towards the light in front of her one after another.

Even without the premonition of danger from the first-order gene lock, Zhao Yingkong's combat intuition was enough to understand what was going on... Without the slightest hesitation, she instantly reactivated her Flash Spirit state, raised her sword, and disappeared from the spot.

Although Zhao Yingkong received several important missions in "Ju-on," Mu Xiang and Chu Xuan's missions didn't grant her any side quests. Therefore, her side quests consisted of two C-rank and one D-rank quests: killing Farid, wiping out the entire Beiyanzhou team, and ending the source of the Ju-on curse.

However, she had a considerable number of reward points—over 20,000. After redeeming the Shining Enhancement and Night Training, she spent a large portion of those points on her six-dimensional stats. One key area was muscle strength, and the other was nerve reflex speed!

At Mu Xiang's request, Zhao Yingkong underwent considerable training to master the ten-second Flash Spirit state. She was already a diligent trainer, and after nearly ten days of practice, she could now terminate the Flash Spirit state on her own. Although these intermittent ten-second intervals were more taxing, the time was used effectively, making it worthwhile overall.

In the experiment just now, Zhao Yingkong first used the Flash state for one second, then pushed her speed to the limit of what she could react to, sprinted forward, and almost instantly ran from the back corridor back to her original position.

So she said it was boring. This distorted space wasn't infinite; it just straightened out the original loop corridor... In essence, it seemed to be just like these distorted lights and shadows—an illusion.

This time, Zhao Yingkong activated her attack again, directly catching up with one dark figure after another from behind... She didn't need to observe with her eyes at all; she only needed to swing her short sword horizontally, intuitively slicing through the various shapes of the dark figures at their weak points. In just a moment, she burst out of the light behind her and returned to her previous position.

The dark figure closest to her emerged from the ground and took only one step toward where Zhao Yingkong was standing before being cleaved in two by Zhao Yingkong's sword, who was chasing after her from behind.

Zhao Yingkong silently looked around. These shadowy figures all let out painful howls, and then were dragged away by new black hands that reached out from the ground... Then, one new shadowy figure after another emerged.

She glanced at the dark figure closest to her, then turned around, preparing to charge in the opposite direction again.

And on the other side...

"Damn it, I can't shoot anymore! I can't possibly pick up every arrow I shoot!" Zhang Heng cursed, pointing at the endless stream of twisted human bodies that were being shot to pieces by the Overlord.

Long Taobing said weakly, "Well... I never asked you to shoot."

Overlord watched as the last batch of twisted human bodies were reduced to fragments by the tubular pulse ricochet gun, then stopped firing, grinned and said, "I told you, you're just being presumptuous. With my big gun, what do I need your broken crossbow for? Your crossbow bolts are like toothpicks; no matter how accurate you are, you can only kill one person at a time."

"I just wanted to feel a sense of participation..." Zhang Heng said indignantly. He walked forward and collected the remaining crossbow bolts. "Your so-called main god should have crossbow bolts with unlimited arrows, right? I definitely have to exchange for one!"

"You also like enchanting with infinity?" Long Taobing was taken aback. "How about enchanting it with fire arrow?"

"I'm a necromancer slayer..." Zhang Heng cursed, then slapped his thigh, "So, you play too?"

The two immediately shook hands with smiles.

Zhan Lan's face darkened: "You two, that's enough... Can't you be serious for once?"

These past few days, as the controller of mental power, Zhan Lan has been overseeing the overall situation and has also played a small leadership role... Then she discovered that Zhang Heng is really toxic!
No matter how serious the occasion, as soon as he speaks, someone will be led astray... and then the scene will turn into something bizarre and indescribable.

Zero said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, another figure passed by around the corner ahead..."

"Let's just go for it, damn it, we've been going around in circles, haven't we? We've fought our way here, haven't we?" Overlord said gruffly, waving the tubular pulse ricochet gun in his hand.

"Hmm..." Zhan Lan closed her eyes and sensed for a moment. "Ying Kong seems to have encountered the same problem. She keeps circling downstairs. I'll tell her... The rest of you, keep in formation and protect the newcomer."

Standing on the outermost edge, Zhang Heng laughed heartily like a seasoned veteran: "Don't worry, boss, we'll definitely keep an eye on things..."

As they spoke, the group walked forward, turned a corner, and found themselves in another empty corridor.

"This is so convoluted..." Zhang Heng couldn't help but complain. "By the way, do you guys know the four ways to write the character '回'?"

"You'll lose money for puns... Ugh, shut up!" Zhan Lan snapped.
