Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

Well, gods and men are gods and men, as long as they still have a basic conscience, that's fine.

In just 0.01 seconds, Xia Jie accepted the shocking fact that everyone there was a superhuman.

He cleared his throat:

"Now that you're all here, let me explain the situation to you."

"For those who haven't read Junji Itō's manga, this multiverse is filled with all sorts of illogical and bizarre phenomena, some strong, some weak, with different mechanisms. And because it's a multiverse, the anomalies aren't limited to those in the manga, and the story may not follow the original work."

"In some worlds, the anomalies of different stories can even merge together, becoming an even more powerful and bizarre existence."

"Moreover, these anomalies are essentially similar flowers born from the exhaustive search of infinite worlds, not originating from the fantasy world of comics. Trying to solve the problems of this multiverse by having the so-called author redraw the story is useless."

"I know that you have all mastered the Heavenly Demon Law that I previously transmitted to the Internet. With your current strength, you should be able to travel freely in the universe with ease."

"So, apart from the Black Vortex Town and Hell Star World that I reserved in advance, you are free to explore the other worlds as you see fit."

In short, just go for it.

Xia Jie's meaning was clear: as long as you don't follow me, you can do whatever you want with this rather awful worldview.

He had originally considered teaming up with @Lai to beat up the world, but now that he sees it, these people seem a bit too powerful, so it's better not to cooperate.

After Xia Jie finished speaking, none of the people present showed any intention of leaving immediately. In fact, they...

"Oh no!!! My dear friend, are you going to abandon us again and go on your own?! No way!"

Huzhang and Dongtang clung tightly to Xia Jie's arms, insisting on acting alongside her no matter what.

Because true friends should be able to achieve victory side by side!

"Little brother~~"

Hearing that Xia Jie was going to part ways with him, Zhang Xiang pursed his lips even more, revealing a pitiful look like that of an empty-nest old man.

The tiny Ye Mu in front of Xia Jie revealed a pair of big, watery eyes under Aha's whisper, as if she was about to say something.

That expression made it seem like he wanted to form a magnetic field band with Xia Jie for life.

"Enemy, Ishini!"

This scene inevitably reminded Xia Jie of those hilarious chibi-style emoticons she had seen on Tieba before she transmigrated.

A few steps away, Ya Dang and Jiang Mingzi glanced at Xia Jie a few more times before reluctantly heading to other worlds.

"Let's go, guys, let's go!"

Unable to withstand pressure, Xia Jie refused the two athletic students' attempts to lock her up and immediately used a wormhole command to run towards her destination.

"Boss! Take me with you!"

When the Aha masks saw Xia Jie disappear on the spot, they all anxiously spun around in circles.

Xia Jie concealed the fluctuations of her commands and the coordinates of her destination very well, so Aha really couldn't find her for a while.

Ahha is overcome with sadness whenever he thinks about missing out on a great job in prison.

Even the mask shed tears.

Meanwhile, outside the Long Dream Universe, on the land of Japan, a parallel universe to Earth.

Black Vortex Town is a remote seaside town in the western part of Green Mountain City.

The scenery is unremarkable, the people are ordinary, and the life is uneventful; it seems that the days will continue peacefully forever.

If there were no "whirlpool".

On the streets of the small town, a male and a female high school student are walking side by side.

The handsome high school boy with glasses is named Shuichi, and the beautiful high school girl with long hair is named Kirie.

The two were childhood sweethearts, a perfect match in terms of looks and talent, and were considered a match made in heaven in the town. They were also the male and female protagonists who would die in the Uzumaki Ruins in the final chapter of the Uzumaki arc.

On the street, the male high school student in the middle of the two stopped and turned to look at the person next to him.

"Want to escape this town with me?"

As the person with the highest spiritual vision in the entire story, Shuichi asked with a gloomy face.

"Huh?"

Kirie was very surprised. She couldn't understand why Shuichi, who was always rational and academically excellent, would say something that sounded like an elopement.

"I feel like something's not right in Black Vortex lately, and it's getting more and more strange."

Every time he returned from school in the city, everything in this small town would make him feel intensely dizzy.

Although the townspeople seemed oblivious to the anomaly, he was certain that the dizziness and the various unusual phenomena he had observed recently could not possibly be his own illusion.

"abnormal?"

Kirie was increasingly puzzled. She lived here every day, but she never felt that there was anything wrong with the town, let alone to the extent that Xiu Yi described, where everything seemed off.

"Don't you feel that everything in town spins around easily, like... a whirlpool in the sea?"

Shuichi didn't intend to keep anyone in suspense. He pointed to the sky and revealed all the anomalies he had observed over the past few days.

"Look at the path the clouds take in the sky, isn't it winding?"

"Hmm, let me see... wait? It really is moving in a curve, but the cloud's trajectory isn't quite like a vortex, is it?"

Kirie suspected that Shuichi was just being overly sensitive and paranoid.

"No, the clouds were drifting straight yesterday, but today their trajectory has become noticeably curved, and I suspect they will likely bend even more tomorrow."

Shuichi paused slightly, pointing to the flowing water in the clear ditch by the roadside.

"Look at them! They appear whenever the water flow is disturbed, unlike the normal flow of water outside the town!"

Tong Hui looked in the direction Xiu Yi pointed, and numerous small eddies quickly formed as the water flowed downstream.

Unlike normal eddies, they seemed to maintain their shape as if they were alive, reluctant to disappear from the canal.

On the damp wall beside the ditch, numerous snails were slowly dragging their heavy, swirling shells, the glistening mucus behind them reflecting the sunlight and drawing strange, winding trails.

"It seems... no, something is definitely not right! So there have been so many strange things around me all along?"

After being reminded by Shuichi, Kirie finally realized what was happening. Her lips parted slightly, but she still had no intention of escaping.

"But these anomalies haven't affected life in the town. As long as we don't look at them, everything will be fine!"

Kirie knew that her words had no basis and that she was as foolish as a stubborn supporting character in a movie.

But that's the reality. Neither his own parents nor Shuichi's parents would agree to move for such a nonsensical reason.

If she disregards her parents' opinions and chooses to elope with Shuichi, their studies, their parents' worries, their financial resources, and even their unpredictable and erratic futures will all be heavy realities they cannot avoid.

That unknown heaviness was far more terrifying than the anomaly visible to the naked eye.

"Um."

Shuichi also fell silent. He knew that escaping was not as simple as it sounded. He didn't have the courage to persuade Kirie to leave with him, nor could he sever his ties with his parents and Kirie and leave alone to face the unknown life.

Just because you have a bad feeling right now, but there are no obvious signs of harm yet, do you really have to leave?

Even though his father’s recent obsession with whirlpools was making him uneasy, Shuichi chose to remain silent.

"Hey kids, isn't this place called Black Vortex Town?"

Just then, a tall young man in casual clothes suddenly walked out from around the corner of the street, waved his arm at Kirie and Shuichi, and asked in a rather impolite manner.

"What?!!"

Just as Kirie frowned in displeasure, Shuichi cried out in alarm.

Heaven knows what kind of thing this young man was in Xiu Yi's eyes, who had extremely high spiritual vision and rationality!
