The simulator exploded.
It really exploded.
Lin Yuan felt that in his past life, he must have destroyed the galaxy, which was why he was experiencing such bad luck in this one.
He was thrown into the air by the shockwave, spinning and tumbling like a rag doll, before landing spectacularly on the ground, face full of dirt.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Lin Yuan got up, his face covered in grime, spitting out a mouthful of gritty saliva. He felt as if his entire body had fallen apart, like he had been torn to shreds by wild horses. Every muscle screamed in agony. "My poor back! How many times has it been? Next time I cross over, I’m definitely picking a body with a steel spine!"
Around him was chaos; alarms blared deafeningly, like a hundred ducks quacking at once. Red warning lights flashed wildly, resembling a group of drunken fireflies dancing disco in the air.
The ground shook violently, cracking open with gaping wounds as if a giant earthworm was thrashing beneath the surface, ready to burst forth at any moment.
Plants grew at an alarming rate, their vines spreading like octopus tentacles, wrapping around buildings. Anyone unaware would think they had stumbled into a scene from Plants vs. Zombies.
Metal twisted and warped, emitting an ear-piercing screech that grated on the nerves like nails on a chalkboard, sending shivers down one’s spine.
The air was thick with a pungent burnt smell mixed with a peculiar fishy odor; the two scents combined felt like chemical warfare. Lin Yuan felt as if he had stepped into the public restroom of hell, ready to faint from the stench at any moment.
"Seriously? This is way too exaggerated! Anyone would think the apocalypse is here!" Lin Yuan couldn't help but complain while brushing off the dust from his clothes, looking like a scavenger who had just crawled out of a garbage heap.
"Shut up!" Su Jiu'er grabbed Lin Yuan and pulled him to a relatively safe corner where a collapsed wall formed a natural barrier. "This is not the time for jokes; we need to escape quickly! This place could collapse at any moment!"
"Escape? Where to? This place is like a maze; I can’t tell east from west!" Lin Yuan exclaimed, bewildered and spinning around like a headless fly.
Su Jiu'er glanced around, her gaze locking onto a distant Metal Door that flickered with a faint light. In the midst of chaos, that glow stood out like a lighthouse in the dark, guiding their way. "There! Follow me!"
The two crouched low, darting through the ruins like startled rabbits, dodging falling debris and wildly growing plants. Lin Yuan complained as they ran, "This is even more thrilling than playing real-life CS! But this scene is way too realistic; my heart's about to jump out of my chest!"
Su Jiu'er wanted nothing more than to slap this carefree guy into silence. How could he still joke around at a time like this? She kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings while quickly moving toward the Metal Door.
Suddenly, a figure leaped down from a massive rock, blocking their path. It was Nan Gong Xuan! He looked down at Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er with a sly grin, resembling a weasel that had just stolen a chicken. "Lin Yuan, did you think you could escape? Today is your last day!"
"Seriously? Can't you come up with a different entrance? This is getting so old; don't you feel embarrassed? I'm cringing for you!" Lin Yuan rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Nan Gong Xuan's expression darkened, anger flashing in his eyes. "You’re asking for death!" He produced a device that shimmered with Metallic Luster and pressed a button fiercely.
"Buzz—"
An invisible wave of energy spread out, causing the surrounding Lingqi to become even more frenzied, like boiling water on the verge of explosion. "What are you doing? Trying to destroy the world? Do you think you're Thanos?" Lin Yuan exclaimed in shock.
"I want you to experience the taste of Spirit Energy Out of Control!" Nan Gong Xuan said venomously, his tone filled with malice.
The plants around them grew at an alarming rate, vines slithering toward Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er like hungry pythons, as if they intended to squeeze them into Meat Sauce.
The ground cracked wider, magma bursting forth like fire dragons rampaging across the surface, seemingly ready to swallow them whole.
Metal fragments flew through the air like a swarm of crazed bees, buzzing ominously and threatening to pierce them like hedgehogs.
“Damn, this is too intense! Are you serious about this?” Lin Yuan exclaimed, dodging attacks with great difficulty while grumbling.
Su Jiu'er furrowed her brows, her compass spinning in her hand, emitting a faint golden light that formed a protective shield around them. The shimmering gold flickered like an indestructible barrier, warding off attacks from all directions. “Hold on! I’m looking for a way out!”
“Wow, Sister Jiu'er, you’re so reliable! You’re my guardian angel!” Lin Yuan said gratefully, his eyes filled with admiration for Su Jiu'er.
Just then, another figure appeared. It was Han Lingyun! She stood beside Nan Gong Xuan, wearing a sly smile on her face, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike. “Lin Yuan, long time no see.”
“Seriously? How are you here again? Can’t you guys just leave me alone? It’s so annoying! Can’t you find some other fun?” Lin Yuan replied helplessly, feeling like he was the target everyone wanted to take a bite out of.
Han Lingyun ignored Lin Yuan’s complaints and suddenly produced a dagger glinting with cold light, lunging it toward Su Jiu'er. The dagger sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, like a snake ready to strike at Su Jiu'er's vital points.
“Watch out!” Lin Yuan reacted quickly, pushing Su Jiu'er aside just as the dagger pierced his shoulder.
“Ah!” Lin Yuan yelped in pain, jumping up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “Damn it, that hurts! You guys are way too ruthless! You have no idea how to show mercy!”
Blood flowed from Lin Yuan’s fingers, staining his clothes red. At that moment, he noticed a passage hidden behind the crumbling wall. The entrance was narrow and obscured by rubble and vines; it would be hard to spot without careful observation.
“Jiu'er, look over there!” Lin Yuan shouted excitedly, pointing at the entrance.
Su Jiu'er followed Lin Yuan’s gaze and her eyes lit up. “Let’s go!”
