Chapter 42 The Dominator
I glanced at the spot where Xiaobai had just appeared.
The wallpaper on the walls was dark green with blurry patterns, and in some places it had peeled off.
An oil painting hangs on the wall. The figure in the painting has empty eyes, staring straight ahead, with a pale face and bright red lips, giving people a sinister feeling.
The painting was framed very exquisitely, but for some reason, the glass outside the frame was broken, with a jagged crack running through the entire scroll, dividing the figure in the painting into two parts.
Looking further up, all you could see was the ceiling above. The vents emitted a low, whistling sound, like someone talking in their sleep, sending chills down your spine.
Perhaps, Xiaobai crawled out from that vent?
Seeing Tang Cao's puzzled expression, Xiao Bai also felt a little nervous.
For a moment, she didn't know how to answer the question, but she quickly shook her head, deciding not to answer if she couldn't think of one.
"How I got here is not important. What's important is that we should break the restrictions here as soon as possible."
"Wait, there are other humans here." Tang Cao said quickly when she saw Xiao Bai anxiously preparing to leave. "I found Da Xin, who has been missing for more than half a month."
Xiao Bai had no idea who Da Xin was; her focus was elsewhere. "You didn't reveal your identity to him, did you?"
"No, I'm not stupid." Tang Cao raised her chin.
"That's good." Xiaobai nodded, then smiled. "But actually, it doesn't matter if we're exposed. Once you break the restrictions here, he won't retain any memories."
"Huh? Why?" Tang Cao blinked.
"The surface world is a place completely different from your thinking. There are no living beings here, and no concepts. It's like a constantly refreshing secret realm, repeating itself endlessly."
Xiao Bai patted the carpet under his feet and continued to explain.
"See this? This is clearly an abandoned restaurant. It may have disappeared into history, but the surface world has preserved it and kept it in this state."
"Even when no one is observing, time still flows within the surface world, and most surface worlds will gradually perish in this way. But if someone accidentally wanders into this place, then it's different."
"Any subtle mental activity or emotion of a human being can activate this small world, creating corresponding monsters, while the concept of time becomes blurred."
"Those trapped in the surface world will forever repeat the entire process from their entry here to their death, and then start all over again, thus contributing a continuous stream of negative energy to keep the surface world going."
"Speak quickly," Xiaobai said with a serious expression.
"Simply put, the world of the watch is like the trap of the man-eating lotus in Greek mythology. Once you come here, you will forget time and be trapped here forever, becoming nourishment for the world of the watch."
"However, after the barrier is broken, the people here will return to the real world and lose all their memories of being here."
Noticing Xiaobai's expression, Tangcao also became serious.
"So how do we break the restrictions of this surface world?"
"I don't know much about this place either, but there is a so-called 'pillar' in the surface world. That thing is the source that supports this world. If it is broken, this world should also disappear into thin air," Xiaobai thought for a moment and replied.
"Pushing the tower, right? I get it." Tang Cao was full of interest, but she quickly asked, "But if we destroy this place, won't it affect the real world?"
"Of course not, why would you ask such a question?"
"Didn't you just say that this place is the gap between the real world and the inner world? If we destroy the buffer zone, won't it be easier for the heretical demons in the inner world to launch an invasion?"
Xiao Bai smiled and shook his head. "Who told you there's only one surface world? The surface world has never been a single dimension; it's more like shattered fragments of the world, scattered throughout every corner of the real world."
"I see." Tang Cao narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
Great, I've gained even more useful knowledge.
"Don't overthink it. I'll tell you everything you want to know once we get out. Right now, let's find the pillar as soon as possible."
Xiao Bai responded with a sentence, then raised its head high, as if sensing something.
After a moment, Little White waved its paws.
"I know where it is, follow me!"
After saying that, Xiaobai suddenly ran towards the deepest part of the dark corridor. Seeing this, Tangcao also quickly followed.
It must be admitted that with Xiaobai by her side, Tangcao's mindset has improved a lot. All her previous tension and worries have disappeared completely, and even her steps have become much lighter.
As we quickly moved through the corridor following Xiaobai, the sound of her footsteps became exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.
Tangcao didn't have time to discern her surroundings; she only wanted to find the pillar of the outer world that Xiaobai had mentioned as soon as possible.
Just as the girl and the cat were moving forward, directly opposite them, a disheveled figure with an extremely ferocious face was heading towards them.
The latest novel is first published here!
The thing looked similar in build to Tang Cao, and its running movements were also very similar. Even its clothing was exactly the same as Tang Cao's.
If it weren't for that face that was distorted to the extreme and the two dark holes, Tang Cao would have thought she was looking in a mirror.
"They are the 'Dominators' born from the surface world!"
Xiao Bai's face showed surprise, as if he had never expected this thing to appear here.
When Tangcao and Xiaobai saw each other, the eerie ruler also noticed their presence.
However, it was clear that the ruler had no intention of stopping.
The enemy let out a chilling roar and pounced on them at an even faster speed.
"Little White, get out of the way!"
Tangcao suddenly stopped, and the rainbow crystal flower in her hand instantly burst into pure white aurora.
"Answer my call!"
The soft, holy light illuminated the dim corridor directly.
"Glaciers towering over the polar ice caps—"
Frost spread from the feet of the arabesque, and the surrounding temperature plummeted. Layers of solid ice covered the corridor and even climbed the walls.
"Darkness will be banished in this moment, in my name!"
Before Tang Cao could finish speaking...
The moment the ruler's foot touched the ice, it felt as if it had stepped into thin air.
He let out a scream and fell down.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and all the best!
Continue to support Tang Cao and Tang Zijun in the new year!
