From the very beginning, the two sides were not on equal footing.

This asymmetry is reflected not only in the information but also in the gap in strength between the two sides.

The most fatal flaw is that they cannot pose any form of threat to each other.

There was a screen separating Luo Dali and them. No matter what they did inside the screen, they couldn't cause any real damage to the other party behind the screen.

If the opponent keeps holding back from taking the field, Bai Chen can't do anything about it. Even if the opponent does take the field... to be honest, he doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve.

The so-called Luo Dali is just a temporary vessel for the other party. Even if this vessel is destroyed, there will still be Liu Dali and Wang Dali.

Basically, they don't have much of a way to deal with the other side.

So at the beginning, Bai Chen was thinking about whether he could find a way to get something out of the other party. He didn't expect much from the [Nest] itself, but he did have some ideas about the bus that brought people into the [Nest].

As long as he can find a way to bring that bus to port, he'll have plenty of opportunities to come here in the future.

...But unfortunately, the other party was smarter than he had imagined.

In fact, if he had been more decisive and chosen to sacrifice the quantum self-braking, he might have actually achieved his goal... but he was ultimately not a pure gambler.

"This potion... seems pretty powerful?"

While examining his personal attribute panel, Quantum Self-Binding, still lying face down on the ground, looked thoughtful.

—At this moment, there is a bright "+30" next to the "Constitution" attribute on his personal panel.

Although this temporary buff only lasts for a short five minutes, it's a perfect match for him.

It was precisely because he noticed the anomaly in his attribute panel immediately that he simply pretended to be muted, so as not to disturb the big shot's place.

However, on the other hand, since I didn't reveal any information about myself, how did the other party know that my skills required "physical constitution"?

...It can't be a guess, right?

If I had guessed wrong, I would have been blown to the head. My head doesn't have a blood lock; if that hit had happened, my head would have exploded like a watermelon...

Recalling the terrible consequences, Quantum's lips twitched slightly.

"...Hmm? You can move now?"

After a slight pause, Quantum Automatic quickly got up, and then, to his surprise, he saw an empty bottle roll off his head.

"Wait...where did this bottle come from?"

Just as Quantum Self-Binding was trying to investigate the origin of the bottle, accompanied by the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, a little girl came down from upstairs.

The other party was holding a large stack of white paper.

"...The location has been found?"

Quantum was momentarily stunned as he looked at the clearly marked map that the little girl in front of him had handed him.

"But didn't you say you needed three days' worth of maps? We only have two days' worth, we're still short one..."

"There are three days."

Xiao Qi lowered her eyes and spoke calmly.

"At the very beginning, the woman with the scar on her face spent a whole day drawing a map."

"No, then why didn't you tell me... Okay, I understand."

With a somewhat speechless wave of his hand, Quantum Auto Brake put the map into his backpack.

"So my next task is to go to this place, right? While he's holding off that boss?"

Xiaoqi did not answer his question, but silently turned around and walked back upstairs.

Today will soon be over.

Just then, she suddenly felt someone pat her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw the severed hand that had appeared from the window earlier to bring her the map for the next day giving her a peace sign, as if trying to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Amidst the roar of motorcycles outside, Xiaoqi touched the severed hand that was resting on her shoulder.

"I've already waited ten years, I don't mind waiting another ten."

"...He promised me."

..........................................

Instead of returning to her room, Xiaoqi climbed all the way to the rooftop after going back upstairs.

Not caring whether the ground was dirty or not, she casually found a place to sit down, then hugged her feet and looked up at the sky obscured by mist, as if waiting for something.

Today will pass quickly, and tomorrow will begin anew.

...At that time, I guess I will still wake up in the car as always?

However, compared to before, this time, I might be able to wait with a glimmer of hope.

How long will it take?

Instinctively hugging her legs, lowering her eyes, Xiaoqi buried her face in her knees.

In the vast silence, the passage of time seems to become traceable... until a certain moment arrives.

—The wind is picking up.

The wind came without warning, yet it didn't seem abrupt, like a long-dormant beast finally turning over and letting out a long sigh.

As if she had really heard that sigh, Xiao Qi's lowered eyelashes trembled, and she raised her head.

In the wind, the fog began to move.

As if stirred by an invisible hand, the grayish-white mist that had been hovering above the town began to slowly churn, and the edges of the swirling mist gleamed with a strange silver light, as if something was awakening behind that thick curtain.

...Then, sunlight shone in.

Even though no sound was made, when the first ray of sunlight pierced through the mist, Xiaoqi heard the sound of sunlight falling.

The sound was very soft, but it was clearly present.

Under the sunlight, the fog began to dissipate, as if an unseen hand was slowly pulling back a gray-brown curtain. The fog was peeled away layer by layer, and sunlight poured down from the ever-widening gaps, first as thin golden lines, then as beams of light, and finally as an overwhelming radiance.

Under the baptism of light, the entire town gradually revealed its original appearance.

...but that was by no means a beautiful sight.

What appeared before her was a scene of broken walls and ruins. The entire town seemed to have been compressed by an immense force from above, flattened outwards, and filled with an extremely pungent smell of blood.

Long-buried memories quietly resurfaced at this moment, and the girl stared blankly down at her hands.

Under the sunlight, the tender white hand gradually turned blood red, then the flesh and bone split open, revealing the pale bone fragments through the body, and an unbearable pain surged wildly from every part of the body.

She remembered what happened on that day ten years ago.

She was already dead at that time.
