Life Dungeon Game

"It's not that difficult, and we have similar ideas."

"Cough cough cough cough cough -"

Fiya, who was drinking water from her glass, choked on the water. Holding the glass in one hand and covering her mouth with the other, she coughed violently.

Chen Lin stared blankly at the representative of the moonlight across from him, momentarily unable to process what had happened.

Why did everyone suddenly start coughing?

He noticed Kodo's subtle movements, but he didn't point them out. Instead, he covered his mouth, coughed lightly, and drew everyone's attention back to him. "So, does anyone have any further thoughts?"

"There is a problem,"

Seeing that the conversation was back on track, Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said,

“According to the radio messages from our explorers on the edge, the entire city-state of Newland is shrouded in mist, and the view in the sky seems to have frozen. It’s nine in the morning, but the sun hasn’t risen yet. If the two worlds are getting closer, will only Newland be affected? Or is this city just a ‘bridgehead’?”

"My guess is that it's only Newland,"

He Ao pondered, "If the idea that the two spaces are close is correct, even if Newland is just that 'bridgehead,' it's unlikely that such a clear spatial dividing line would exist, 'encircling' Newland within it. In fact,"

He looked up at the people present and said, “I suspect that this ‘spatial proximity’ may not be a ‘natural phenomenon’ but rather something that was deliberately ‘created’ by some force, and its coverage area is limited to the city-state of Newland.”

Judging from the situation both inside and outside the city of Newland, this event does not seem to be something that can form naturally.

However, this was the first time He Ao had ever seen a phenomenon that might involve spatial proximity.

He didn't know what would happen if this phenomenon actually occurred, but based on his past experience, he was more inclined to believe that it was a 'special scenario' created by an being of angelic or higher status.

Do you think there's someone behind the scenes who created this phenomenon?

At this moment, Fia had recovered from coughing up water. She looked at He Ao, then at the vast islands and sea under the night sky outside the window. "But such a large area, such terrifying phenomena, is this something a human could do?"

"Perhaps, what we are facing is not human."

He paused for a moment before replying.

This statement instantly turned the atmosphere in the entire conference room cold.

"What else could it be but a human being?"

Kodo was somewhat confused.

“Angels, or gods,”

Fia's slender fingers pressed against the edge of the table. She was familiar with the mysterious knowledge passed down by 'Hao Yi'. She looked up and stared at He Ao. "You mean, there is such a 'non-human' being in the Newland City-State? He created the current situation."

“If there were beings above the level of angels here, we wouldn’t be able to discuss these things so peacefully.”

He shook his head, then said meaningfully, "However, the main characters in this incident are not only the city-state of Newland."

"You mean, the other side of the door..."

Fia lowered her head, lost in thought.

This aligns with He Ao's understanding of the high-level beings outside the main world who are concerned with its existence.

In this world beyond the reach of the gods, all sorts of strange and wonderful things try to find its coordinates and descend upon this world through bizarre methods.

"If our enemy is on the other side of the door, in another world,"

Fia pondered, then looked up at He Ao, "Doesn't that mean we can't do anything? We can only wait for the two worlds to merge?"

"By then, it will probably be too late,"

He Ao pondered, "If the enemy achieves their goal, they may not necessarily give us a chance to fight back."

If his prediction is accurate, even if there is nothing behind the scenes this time, just an angel, the angel's arrival will most likely still allow the gods standing behind this angel to obtain the coordinates of the main world.

Whatever it is that is about to descend, it means that the main world will be completely exposed to the 'gods'.

Fia glanced out the window again. "Since the sky has been fixed, no ships have entered 'Newland Port'. The outside world may also be 'covered' in some way, preventing outsiders from entering the Newland city-state. Furthermore, our communication with the outside world, whether by radio or satellite, has been cut off, and the undersea communication cable seems to have been completely severed as well."

Chen Lin continued, "So, we can only rely on ourselves now?"

"In a sense, that's one way to understand it."

Fia nodded.

"So what should we do?"

Kodo glanced at the crowd, finally starting to catch up, "If the mastermind is in another world, how can we stop him from going there? And..."

He paused, then glanced at the people present.

He didn't finish what he was going to say.

But everyone understood what he meant.

Of those present, only Heo and Fiya are C-rank, while Kodo and Chen Lin are D-rank. With this lineup, trying to fight against someone above the angel level is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"If only Mr. Hao Yi were here."

Chen Lin sighed softly.

Although he wasn't present when 'Hao Yi' killed West, based on the subsequent events at the scene and the descriptions of those who witnessed it, he had no doubt about 'Hao Yi's' prowess.

If there is anyone in this world who is closest to an angel and has the ability to fight against angels, he thinks it is probably only that one person.

"If Hao Yi were here, this probably wouldn't have happened today, or at least not so soon,"

Fiya shook her head and gave a wry smile. "Hao Yi just left, and this happened right after. Although it could be a coincidence, I don't think it is necessarily a coincidence."

"You mean,"

Chen Lin pondered, his expression slightly grave. "Are there people from the other world here too?"

"If the other party were an angel or even a god, they wouldn't have performed this operation without any preparation,"

Fia pondered, "The 'chaos' that West believes in is not something that should exist in the real world."

The atmosphere became somber again.

Although everyone had this suspicion, when someone explicitly stated it, the crowd's mood inevitably became somewhat downcast.

After all, this means that they not only have to deal with a high-ranking being from another world, but also have to be careful of traitors within their own ranks.

"Those opened doors might allow us to enter the world on the other side."

In the midst of this quiet silence, He Ao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

He didn't mention the dangers, pressures, or difficulties they were facing, but instead proposed a possible direction for solving the problem.

"But those doors can't be passed through normally,"

Kodo continued, "Only those monsters can come out. When we go over, those scenes just collapse."

"Actually, the monsters that are coming out now aren't very strong," Chen Lin pondered, then said in a low voice, "It's probably not that we can't get through, but that those 'doors' aren't stable enough right now and can't withstand our passage."

Then he glanced at He Ao and continued,

"Judging from the current situation, these 'gates' are gradually becoming stable."

"In fact, just now, He Bu encountered a stable 'door' that did not disappear directly on the nearby Little Eleventh Street. As the two worlds get closer, these stable doors will most likely increase in number and become more and more stable."

"In other words, these 'doors' could eventually become 'passages' that can be passed through by both C-level and even B-level individuals?"

Kodo stroked his chin and continued Chen Lin's words.

"But by then, this 'approach' will probably be coming to an end, and when we cross over, there may be very little left to do."

Chen Lin replied after thinking for a moment.

In fact, the problem Chen Lin mentioned is the same problem He Ao is considering. By the time those channels are stable enough to pass through at level C or even level B, this 'anomaly' will probably be over.

If He Ao is the mastermind...

The person in charge will definitely try to find a way to pass through the C-level channel, forcibly end the subsequent process, and directly descend.

He did not give any of the powerful beings in the main world any chance to stop him from acting.

Achieving this effect might not be difficult. For example, you could have some powerful C-rank monsters pass directly through the portal into the main world and then activate a blood sacrifice, which would definitely grant some kind of additional 'driving energy'.

So the problem now is how to 'create' a passage in advance that allows even C-level or B-level units to pass through, so that we can potentially achieve the effect of a 'surprise attack'.

Just as He Ao was pondering, after a moment of silence, Fia suddenly said, "Perhaps, I can pre-determine a 'passage' that will allow powerful superhumans to pass through."

Then, noticing the way everyone was looking at her, she explained, "My ability is rather special. Perhaps I can gather those special, fixed 'doors' together, bring them to a single point, and temporarily create a stable 'door' that can pass through at the C-level."

As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously drifted toward He Ao.

The others also turned their attention to He Ao.

Unbeknownst to them, this 'outsider' young man had unwittingly become the core of everyone's lives.

"You can give it a try."

He Ao placed his hand on the table and nodded slightly.

Desert island outside the city-state of Newland

He Ao's Hao Yi clone stood inside the abandoned stone house on the island reef, placing several large full-length mirrors against the four walls of the stone house.

In these mirrors, a pile of cut-up flesh was reflected in the middle of the house.

This is the flesh and blood of the tentacle monster he killed. He asked Wu Lan to cut up the flesh and blood and specially sailed back in the Verola to bring it over.

Although the monster is dead, its flesh and blood, which contain extraordinary power, are still excellent materials.

He glanced around, then fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a coin with a butterfly printed on it.

Then he flicked his finger, and the coin flew into the sky.

I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I'll be back later.

Old stone houses, a vast and tranquil sea, and a clear sky reflected on the sea.

He Ao quietly observed everything around him that seemed unchanged.

The coin that had been thrown had landed in his hand, showing tails.
