The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 125 has a hidden agenda.

His process was so smooth and natural, as if he had done it countless times in his daily life.

Whenever Xiao Guai feels sleepy and about to lose consciousness, he prepares various recording devices, places them aside, and turns them on.

Unfortunately, as each day, each month, and each year passed, he never heard anyone else's voice in the playback again.

All that's left is to breathe and sigh.

When he's occasionally awake, his greatest pleasure is probably repeatedly turning on the camera from that year and listening to the information the people in it say over and over again.

Continuously review and reflect on your experiences before putting them into practice.

He even contacted the exorcist brother on the business card that Xiaoqi gave him, who seemed completely unreliable.

However, it's not for exorcism.

It was so that he could help find the demon.

However, he couldn't do it, and Xiao Guai came to believe that he was just a charlatan.

Of course, that's all in the future.

The journey that belonged to Xiao Guai alone was completely changed by the arrival of the four of them.

Li Lan: [Just how much perseverance and determination does it take to persist for so many years? Are we really that important to him?]

Faced with her sister's question, Li Can also fell into deep thought.

He had previously used suggestive language to try and steer the monsters toward him.

But that's just external assistance.

The most important thing is his thoughts and attitudes as a person.

Now, analyzing the situation in the third act, Li Can finally realizes just how much influence the others had on him.

Li Can: [Perhaps that day was of great significance to him.]

However, the most important thing right now is to figure out what's on the other side of the river in the darkness. We need to find a way out.

Also, the monsters need to wake them both up.

The distant, continuous darkness seemed no different from an ordinary night at first glance, but to Li Can, whose eyesight was excellent, it contained countless tiny particles of dark matter.

They gathered together in dense clusters, like sand and gravel swept up by a tornado in the desert.

Or, to put it another way, it's like the composition of countless bacteria and microorganisms in a laboratory petri dish.

The intricacies cannot be discerned with the naked eye alone.

Li Can guessed that the reason why the other areas on the opposite bank of the river were not clearly visible was not because they were shrouded in darkness.

Instead, it was swallowed up, annihilated, and digested by those tiny black particles.

They spread out, forming a huge, encircling barrier.

It advances at a snail's pace, in a way that obscures the sky and blocks out the sun.

If no human comes to the outermost edge to check, it will not be discovered even after several centuries.

After all, they are just too slow.

It's so slow that humans don't even need to care.

It doesn't have much impact on them at the moment.

Who would care?

Yes, who cares? Nobody wants to go to great lengths to solve it, even if it eventually swallows up the earth like a frog being slowly boiled in water.

While pondering, Li Can continued sending text comments: 【If this still conforms to the laws of human physics development.】

It can be basically confirmed that the continuous darkness in front of us initially stemmed from a small area of ​​viral contamination.

[Then it expands from a point into a surface, gradually developing until it covers most of the planet.]

The eerie city at this time was relatively large in area.

As we eventually reach the Upper and Lower Cities we will experience, they gradually expand, and the area where humans can move around becomes extremely narrow.

Therefore, we've reached a point where we need to rely on city barriers to fight it.

Previously, Yang Mo always asked the old city lord why the upper city had set up a barrier, and what the world outside the barrier was like.

Now, I think he'll understand once he wakes up and sees the truth for himself.

The barrier truly exists to protect everyone.

The outside world is not as wonderful as people imagine.

Li Lan listened quietly until Li Can's comments stopped.

She slowly continued, "So, there's no way to get out using ordinary methods... In other words, we need to find a way to break through this seemingly ordinary encirclement of darkness."

The true outcome will be when we return to the upper city, no longer needing the protective barrier, with the city gates wide open, and can truly walk out.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already reached a conclusion, and the current situation was becoming increasingly clear, with everything becoming obvious.

Sometimes, the appearance of an enemy is not scary; what is scary is the unknown danger.

Fortunately, after several twists and turns, Li Can and his team finally found a solution to clear the Mysterious City dungeon.

Their ultimate goal was never just to escape the mirror.

The task posted on the scroll requires players to carry the exit certificate from the lower city out of the city in order to complete the dungeon and win the game.

However, the "city" mentioned here is not the same as the "city" mentioned elsewhere.

The dungeon walkthrough index likes to play word games like this.

They subtly dig a pit, catching players off guard and making them fall into it.

But as long as players aren't stupid, they'll learn their lesson after a few experiences.

Li Can: [That's right, our next plan is now quite obvious.]

The brother and sister looked at the darkness shrouding the distance, each with their own plans.

Xiao Guai and Shen Yuan and Yang Mo inside his body are still asleep.

The two who were the only ones who were sober did not deliberately say anything suggestive this time; the communication happened naturally.

Once you've roughly figured things out, all you need to do is wait for the monsters to wake up naturally.

He'll understand once he hears the replay.

Time passed second by second until the fishing rod suddenly shook violently, and the thin line tied to Xiao Guai's wrist was pulled along with it.

It suddenly pulled him out of his dream.

He put the straw hat that was covering his face back on his head, rubbed his still sleepy eyes with one hand, and grabbed the fishing rod with the other and pulled it up sharply.

As the fat fish struggled and splashed water, Little Monster whistled in a good mood.

He deftly removed the fish and casually tossed it into a bucket of water that had already been filled with water.

The water, already warmed by the sun, was probably too hot for the big, fat fish. It kept thrashing about inside, its tail slapping against the sides of the tub with a "bang, bang" sound.

But Xiao Guai ignored its fussing and immediately took out the voice recorder from its chest pocket, skillfully switching to the playback button.

Then, just like countless ordinary days, with a swift movement, I picked up the cutting board and knife placed next to the recliner and slaughtered the fat fish right there on the spot.

The work was done in one go, very efficiently.

He didn't seem to care at first.

Until Li Can's carefully prepared greeting rang out:

"Long time no see, Little Monster, we're back."

"Clang..." The kitchen knife in his hand rolled to the side because his hand was trembling uncontrollably.

The blade tumbled through the air before seemingly striking his own right foot, which was clad in a slipper, with a definite direction.

It was firmly embedded in the flesh of the instep.

As it turned out, Xiao Guai himself hadn't even complained of pain.

Shen Yuan and Yang Mo, who were imprisoned in the lower half of his body, screamed in agony one after another.

Shen Yuan: [Huh!? I fell asleep again?]

Yang Mo: [Ahhh!!!]
