Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"That..."

"According to you, we should split up and act separately!"

"Wouldn't this be the fastest way to get clues?"

"Seven days...why seven days in a [dungeon]?"

"Perhaps, in seven days, that's when the spell will be activated?!"

Long Ao has a very complex thought process; he's constantly analyzing things.

The Sword of Pinocchio is also constantly growing!

Yes!

My thinking is now completely correct!

"Should we break up?"

"I think it's best not to..."

"We haven't figured out what to do about the chanting we hear when we return from the [other world]... I gave the [prayer beads] to [Liaoye]. Next time we come back, everyone will be surrounded by the chanting. Who will we rely on?"

"Also, if we split up, the risk of being picked off one by one by the two from [A-San Guo] is not low..."

An Lan corrected Long Ao's thinking, and Long Ao blinked: "Right... this question is also quite crucial!"

"If I emerge from the [alternate dimension] next time, how should I deal with the [scripture voice]?"

"Why did the scripture readings disappear this time?"

"Anlan, you went to see that [Liaoye], did that trigger something?"

"this..."

An Lan thought for a moment, "It seems... I didn't do anything special... I just gave her the things..."

"Um?"

"Could giving her something end the [alternate dimension]?"

"Does that mean next time, one of us would better bring out a 'clue' to hand over to [Ye]? Otherwise... we'll all be wiped out?!"

"If that's the case, exploring the 'clues' in separate areas will give us the best chance..."

"..."

As the group speculated, silence fell over the room once more.

Zhao Kuo scratched his head, breaking the silence: "Why go to all that trouble?! It's so simple! During the day, the rest of us will go look for clues! An Lan, you can go keep that little nun company!"

"We'll regroup tonight!"

"I refuse to believe that the five of us working together all night can't find any new clues!"

"Alright..."

The group of people, still arguing, leaned against each other in front of the bed and began to take a nap.

There's not much to explore at this point. The [alternate dimension] will most likely appear at night, so exploration can be done during the day. Conserving your energy is the most important thing right now!

"..."

"..."

After a moment of silence inside, An Lan, who didn't know how long she had dozed off, suddenly heard footsteps outside.

"Tap tap tap..."

"Um?"

Looking up, she saw a small, thin figure seemingly peering into the room. After hesitating for a moment, she didn't dare to speak and hurriedly walked away.

"Oh?"

"Is that [the karmic retribution]?"

"What does she want from me?"

An Lan got up, intending to follow and ask, but after reaching the exit of the meditation room, she heard the chanting of "Liao Ye" coming from the direction of the main hall.

"Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva..."

"When practicing the profound Prajnaparamita..."

"..."

The sound of chanting the Heart Sutra drifted over. Anlan stood outside the Mahavira Hall for a while, watching. At this time, some nuns had already gotten up and were heading to the Mahavira Hall for their morning assembly.

Seeing that [Ye] was doing his homework, Anlan didn't want to disturb him, so she stepped back...

Just as I was about to return to the [meditation room]—

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The entire [Shenning Temple] shook violently once again!

"What?!"

The morning glow was covered by a layer of red clouds, and the surrounding scenery began to rapidly distort and warp. That world filled with black soil and blood mist had descended once more!

"This...how is this possible?!"

"Didn't we just come out?"

"Could it be that this [alternate dimension] exists without any reason or logic?!"

An Lan looked around nervously. The meditation room had disappeared. Long Ao and the others were also awakened by the tremor. They stood on the twisted tree roots, looking around in confusion.

"Holy crap!"

"Didn't we just come out?"

"Is this...right?"

Jiang Lai kept muttering to himself as he started typing information into his phone.

This "alternate dimension" is still the same area as the tree roots, and everyone knows how dangerous it is. Even if you stay put, there's really nothing to worry about.

But now that they're in again, how are they going to get out?

If the sound of chanting scriptures is heard when they return, there will be no clues left in this area, and no one will be able to return to reality, right?

"Damn it..."

"This alternate dimension wasn't activated at any normal time..."

Is it illogical and without any rules?

Long Ao looked at Jiang Lai, then glanced at An Lan: "An Lan! We will return to the point in time when you disappeared! After you deactivated the [alternate dimension]... I suggest that once we return to reality, we immediately go to another area of ​​the temple!"

"In that case..."

"The next time we enter the [Alternate Dimension], it'll be a different area! We might have another chance to get 'clues'..."

"this--"

"That makes sense..."

"only..."

An Lan blinked, feeling that something was about to happen.

Perhaps there are other ways to escape the scriptures?

(etc...)

(I need to figure out if this alternate dimension is only targeting us, or if it targets everyone! If it targets everyone, then why aren't so many nuns in the temple in this alternate dimension?)

Standing still, An Lan squinted.

......

far away--

The Brahmins and Kshatriyas also shouted angrily.

"Damn it! Why are they back again?!"

"Damn it!"

"What should we do about the scripture recitation later? Do we... do we have to—"

Kshatriya's face turned pale and then red as he thought about what he might do.

The Brahmin dared not scratch his belly anymore.

He immediately took out a crystal ball and began to perform divination.

After layers of starlight shimmered on the sphere, a picture of two fish leaping out of the water appeared.

"This is..."

"Are the fish surfacing to get oxygen?"

"It means the fish is seeking a way to survive! If we interpret it from our perspective, it means that to survive, it needs to get help from a key person..."

"Damn it!"

"Who is the key person?!"

"Buzzing—"

The Brahmin began divination again, this time a specific one: "The key person... O stars! Tell me, who is the key person?!"

The stars twinkled, revealing two silhouettes.

A man and a woman, both wearing monks' robes. The man, likely middle-aged, was holding the hand of a little girl in the robes. The image is quite blurry...

"Who the hell is this key person?"

"How come I've never seen this before?!"

The Brahmin only had a vague understanding, while the Kshatriya squinted and began to ponder deeply.

"Don't rush...don't rush..."

"If we've returned here, it means those people from the Dragon Kingdom have also come back..."

"If they want to save themselves... they'll definitely dismantle the entire area... We can leave lying down! In fact... this time we're prepared; activating [Nullification] ahead of time should make us suffer less than them!"

"Keep calm, Brahmin!"

At the crucial moment, Kshatriya still showed the resolve of a captain.

only--

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings began to flash rapidly with a "buzzing" sound.

Crimson mist began to swirl and twist, crashing down on everyone. The surrounding scenery, like a rolled-up sheet of paper, then slowly unrolled again...

Once everything returned to normal, the timeline had returned to the point when they had just emerged from the [alternate dimension]...

......

"Wife..."

"Wife..."

"Ugh—"

Kshatriya hugged the Brahman again, about to kiss him. Long Ao and the others stared blankly at this scene, a wicked smile on their faces.

"Beep beep beep—"

"Beep beep beep—"

But this time, a cell phone ringing interrupted everyone's quirky fun.

"Um?"

Jiang Lai reacted almost instinctively, opening his phone to check the screen.

Hello, past me! I am you three hours from now!

Three hours later, we will once again be trapped in another "other world." This "other world" may appear without any rules or logic, so you'd better return to reality and immediately head to another area!

Therefore, even if the "other world" descends again, you can try to find "clues" in other areas to return and fight against the "reciting scripture"!

"what?"

"Three hours later..."

"We're going to enter another dimension again?!"

"Damn it! Is this never going to end?"

He handed his phone to the people around him one by one, and a hint of tension appeared on everyone's face!

Only Anlan...

An Lan blinked, and the colorful icon of the "Perfect Timeline" in his eyes lit up for a moment. Surprisingly, he hadn't lost his memories from the previous timeline. He even remembered all those experiences he had just had!

"what?"

"Could it be... because I have a [perfect timeline]...?"

"Even if Jiang Lai travels back in time from the future, to me, it's like passively triggering a 'perfect timeline,' which is why I remember the events of the first timeline?"

"My [Skill Strength] is higher than [Connection to the Past], so it doesn't affect me anymore?"

"hiss--"

"Is this the power of a [Permanent Skill]?"

"Does that mean that certain time-related talents don't work for me?"

An Lan was only slightly surprised when Long Ao and the others started walking towards him!

Since they already knew the [future], no one planned to rest in the [meditation room] this time. Instead, the group decided to wait by the pond behind the [meditation room] until the [alternate dimension] descended.

"Anlan! Let's go!"

"We need to get to a new area before the [alternate dimension] descends..."

"you--"

Before Long Ao could finish speaking, An Lan interrupted him, "You guys go ahead! I have something to investigate!"

"Um?"

"Are you trying to test...why those nuns don't appear in the [other dimension]?"

Long Ao's thoughts moved swiftly. An Lan nodded, then shook her head: "Exploring whether they are affected by the [alternate dimension] is one thing... Also, I think [Liao Ye] is planning to tell me something..."

"You guys go first!"

"this--"

"That's fine..."

"If you can get the prayer beads back later, maybe you can save us one more time..."

"I'm leaving this to you, Mr. Succubus!"

Long Ao made a timely joke, and An Lan smiled helplessly.

As the group hurriedly said goodbye and dispersed, over there in Kshatriya's place... Kshatriya had already pushed aside the Brahman and was staring at Long Ao and the others with a sinister look on his face, his expression shifting uncertainly!

"Brahman!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Perhaps due to the "butterfly effect," the two shamelessly ran away this time, and the Brahman immediately began to caress the crystal ball. A celestial image appeared on the crystal ball—a scene of a "moonfall"!

"[Moonfall]?"

"This signifies disaster!"

"Disaster? We just came out of another dimension, how could there be a disaster?!"

While the Brahmin was still analyzing, the Kshatriya watched Long Ao and the others leave, his eyes flashing: "It seems the Dragon Kingdom has also learned something! They didn't go back to rest, but went to other areas!"

"Very likely!"

"The disaster refers to the [alternate dimension] descending again later!"

"To avoid reappearing in the already explored [Zen Room Area], so... they went to another area?!"

"this..."

"As expected of the captain, he came up with an explanation for the disaster so easily!"

The Brahmin flattered Kshatriya, who immediately gritted his teeth and followed Long Ao and his group, quickly leaving the [Meditation Room] area.

As for An Lan, who didn't leave?

He glanced at it briefly...

I considered keeping the Brahman alive to target Anlan separately!

But the thought of having to face the four from the Dragon Kingdom if he left the Brahmin behind caused him to hesitate for a moment before grabbing the Brahmin and disappearing from An Lan's sight...
