Life Dungeon Game

“By the way,” Heo looked at his cheek and reached out to pat his head, “don’t open any closed doors, go on.”

"Ok!"

The little boy stared at He Ao's face, which was stained with specks of blood, nodded, and then quickly got up and ran out of the house.

In front of him, all the doors were open and blocked off with tables, benches, and other objects.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked in front of him. At this moment, a tightly closed door stood in front of him.

This is the back door of this hall.

He reached out and slowly pulled open the door.

Behind the door was not the street that should have appeared, but a cold and damp 'secret room'. This 'secret room' had metal walls, and fleshy lumps that looked like tumors were climbing all over the walls like ivy. They contracted and expanded in an orderly manner, as if breathing.

As He Ao pushed open the door, a fleshy monster, nearly half a meter long and resembling a scorpion, suddenly burst out from the gap in the fleshy ball, flew over the door, and stabbed towards He Ao's face.

A flash of white sword light cleaved the flying scorpion in two.

He Ao glanced at the secret room in front of him, which was covered with writhing, fleshy ivy, and stepped forward, crossing the doorway.

Then the entire scene in the secret room flickered and shattered instantly, revealing a somewhat narrow street, with the towering Maple Leaf Hotel standing not far away.

The dim streetlights illuminated the street, while the moon and stars remained motionless overhead.

He Ao gazed at the street, slightly raising his eyes to look into the depths of the street.

This wasn't the first secret room to 'collapse' before his eyes.

Ever since the night sky became stuck in that pre-dawn reflection, all sorts of monsters began to appear in the city-state of Newland.

These monsters are hiding behind some tightly closed 'doors'.

Once a door is opened, scenes resembling alternate dimensions will appear behind it, and 'monsters' hidden in these alternate dimensions will rush out from behind the door and enter the real world, starting to attack people.

These otherworldly scenes usually don't last long, basically just a few seconds, but the monsters that rush out of these otherworldly spaces are real.

According to the information collected by Chen Lin, in the beginning, these 'alternate space scenes' lasted for a shorter period of time, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye, and the range was also smaller, unlike now, where you might encounter such an alternate space almost every time you open a door.

The number of monsters on the streets is also increasing.

He Ao emerged from the Maple Leaf Hotel as soon as the monsters appeared on the streets. When he first came out, there was only one monster in seven or eight nearby streets, but now almost every street has one.

Just as He Ao was pondering this, in the shadow of the streetlight, a leech-like monster, about the length of an arm, wriggled out and lunged at He Ao's face.

A flash of white sword light pierced through the air, severing the monster in two.

He glanced at the monster's corpse. In principle, he could use the jade pendant to sacrifice and absorb the monster, but the jade pendant was already full after consuming the power bestowed upon West by the God of Chaos and could not absorb any other energy for the time being.

He didn't stop, and continued forward after passing the monster's corpse.

"Hey, Hey, are you there? I've arrived at the Moonlight branch now. Are you still near the Maple Leaf Hotel?"

At that moment, Chen Lin's voice came through the walkie-talkie on He Ao's chest.

He picked up the walkie-talkie, glanced at the street sign on the side of the road, and raised his other hand. The sharp bone sword cleaved a monster that had been ambushing him from the darkness in two.

"I'm on Little 11th Street next to the Maple Leaf Hotel. The monster concentration here is very high. There might be a fixed monster spawn point nearby, which shouldn't be far from me."

“Hey, those doors that suddenly lead to other dimensions can not only let monsters out, but also let people from this side go through. On my way to the Moonlight branch, I heard about many missing persons cases. Some people said they saw their children disappear after walking through the door.”

Chen Lin quickly replied.

Is it a two-way channel?

He quickly thought of a few things, then picked up the walkie-talkie and continued, "Have you met with the person in charge of Moonlight?"

At this moment, he had reached the end of the small street.

A rusty iron door stood open before him. Inside was not a living space, but a dark corridor stained with dried blood.

A wriggling ball of flesh emerged from the darkness. It seemed to have spotted Heo standing in the doorway. A crack appeared in the middle of its body, revealing sharp, triangular teeth.

“I just met her,” Chen Lin said quickly over the walkie-talkie. “She wants to contact you directly.”

The fleshy monster stared at He Ao, a ferocious and greedy howl emanating from its mouth. The next second, the writhing fleshy ball burst out of the darkness and pounced on He Ao, as if it were pouncing on a delicious meat cake.

“Minister He, I am Moonlight Fia... We... need... cooperation.”

A woman's gentle but broken Chinese came through the walkie-talkie.

"We might need to meet and talk,"

He Ao casually pierced the fleshy mass that lunged at him with his sword and tossed it aside. He then replied in fluent Tia, "Do you have transportation? It's inconvenient for me to move around here. Why don't you come to the vicinity of the Maple Leaf Hotel?"

His gaze fell upon the deep, dark corridor.

The corridor behind this door seems to last much longer than other 'alternate visions', and appears to be a more stable interdimensional passage than other doors.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and tried to grope his way into the corridor.

As he reached out through the door, the entire dark corridor flickered and then collapsed, revealing a greasy kitchen scene that matched the rusty iron door.

"We have a helicopter. Please wait a moment, we'll be right there."

While He Ao was operating the system, Fiya's reply came through the walkie-talkie.

"it is good."

He Ao nodded.

At the same time, he withdrew his hand from the doorway, lost in thought.

This 'channel' doesn't seem to be very stable.

He looked up at the stars in the sky.

So, are these dense 'alternate space passages' the reason for the spatial chaos in this area?

Or perhaps, it's another manifestation of a deeper reason?

A vague guess formed in his mind.

Today's chapter is almost 5,000 words long!

Chapter 728 Angels from the Other World (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

“The space we are in now is like a balloon, and now another balloon is coming closer. The two balloons are getting closer and squeezing each other, and the contact points formed by the squeezing of the balloons are those connecting ‘doors’.”

Inside the hotel conference room, He Ao put down the balloon in his hand. "This explains why, as time goes by, the 'passages' in the city become more numerous and more stable. It's because as the compression process between the two balloons deepens, the contact points between the two balloons increase, and the 'adhesion' becomes more and more stable."

His gaze swept over the others sitting in the office, noticing their slightly surprised expressions. "This is my conjecture: the space we are in now is approaching the space of some chaotic 'other world,' at least in a mystical sense."

As he finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

"Any questions?"

He looked at Fia and Codo under the moonlight.

"No, it's nothing."

Fia snapped back to reality, a slight loss of composure appearing on her usually calm face. She picked up her water glass and said, "I'm a little surprised that you were able to come up with a logically consistent conjecture so quickly."

"This shouldn't be too difficult?"

He thought to himself, "And this is just my guess."

The idea of ​​spatial contact is not particularly difficult; the reason that influenced Fia and others' judgment was likely due to information asymmetry.

The supernatural organizations of the main world, who are used to dealing with strange phenomena, would first think of some kind of large-scale strange phenomenon when they encounter this situation, and feel that there are some special strange objects in the city-state of Newland.

However, from He's perspective, he had already determined through his clone that the 'dense fog' covering the entire city-state of Newland was likely the work of an being above the level of an angel.

Furthermore, the Verola confirmed that the seemingly stable space within the Newland city-state was actually in a state of great chaos.

This makes it easy to imagine that there was a problem with the internal space of the Newland city-state.

Combined with the 'passages' that He Ao saw inside the city-state, which existed in the form of doors, and the world on the other side of the passages that bore a strong resemblance to the corrupted Navigator.

Following this line of thought, and combining it with some information He Ao obtained during his previous investigation of the 'Chaotic Church,' it's not particularly difficult to conclude that the two 'worlds' are 'approaching' in some way.

The chaos in space is caused by the mutual compression and contact between two 'worlds' that should not have come into contact.

Of course, there may also be a difference in thinking here.

After all, He Ao had been to the instance world, the ruins, and the Navigator, plus the main world, which already made up four different 'maps'.

Compared to ordinary Moonlight members who have always lived in the main world and have at most explored the ruins, He Ao has a stronger ability to make connections and associations when it comes to the interweaving and collision of worlds.

Of course, this is not a difficult deduction.

Judging from the expressions of Fia, Kodo, and Chen Lin, they probably had very different ideas from He Ao's before, but after He Ao explained...

After making my own guesses, I quickly understood He Ao's narrative.

They just haven't broadened their thinking to this point yet.

Some things, once you break through that thin layer of paper, will suddenly become clear.

"But this has only been less than two hours since the first monster appeared..."

Kodo, sitting in the corner, muttered something under his breath.

The young minister from the research institute sitting in front had arrived in Newland less than four hours earlier.

Especially after the first monster appeared, this 'He Bu' spent most of his time clearing monsters from the streets and arranging rescues.

He will likely have very little time to think.

In such a short time, in an unfamiliar city, and in a situation that no one had ever seen before, they were able to come up with a conjecture that was far more logical than the results of their prepared discussion.

A guess that seems very close to the truth, or even the truth itself.

Isn't this a bit outrageous?

Is this reasonable?

Doesn't this make him, who has been here for so many years, and Moonlight, this local Newland gang, look like useless trash?

Of course, although his muttered words were not loud, there were only a few people in the conference room, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"cough,"

He coughed lightly, tossed the document prepared under the table, titled "A Strange Extraterrestrial Item in the City-State of Newland Causes Bizarre Extradimensional Phenomena," into the trash can, and looked at He Ao with a serious expression.
