Chapter 214 - A Familiar Face from the Asylum (1/2)

“To a certain extent, the wormhole must have changed the order of the dimensions, creating holes in each parallel dimension. That is why we appeared here.” Qin Lao frowned hard and explained.

“But you’re not from this dimension in the first place, haven’t you noticed it at all?” Xu Lan found it to be unfathomable. Then again, perhaps his sheer astonishment was due to not having the same sort of expertise or knowledge as Qin Lao had.

“If it’s a direct shift from one dimension to another, then surely everyone would have noticed something, but I came here because Sergeant Xiao invited me over. It’s the same thing with Hu Cheng, whom you’ve just seen. He only came to Whitehorse City because of his appointment. The dimension is making a trade-off due to the dimensional disorder.” Qin Lao spent some time in deep thought before replying gravely.

Looking outside the window, one could see the bright shining sun and the beauty of a spring day. Despite being hit by the sun’s rays, Xu Lan did not feel warm. All he felt was coldness, as though the only thing wrapping him was the exoskeleton of a cicada. Both his legs were trembling, and his lips became purple.

Bai Wu would certainly not be able to distance himself from any responsibility arising from the disorder. It might even be the case that Bai Wu’s existence directly correlates with the interconnection of those parallel dimensions. Xu Lan looked worryingly at Bai Wu, unsure if the latter even had any method of remedying the situation. He nearly spilled the beans when he looked at Bai Wu the following moment!

Motherf*cker! Bai Wu took some grapes from the table and ate them without a care in the world!

“Bai Wu!”

“Hm?” Bai Wu answered perplexedly after hearing his name being called out so suddenly.

“The dimensions are going crazy, aren’t you the least bit worried?” Xu Lan propped up his head, and in utter helplessness, he massaged his temples and questioned.

“What’s there to be worried about? We’ll just go with the flow 1 . Worrying’s not gonna do us any good…” Bai Wu popped another grape into his mouth and replied nonchalantly. “You’re still by my side, so there’s nothing for me to worry about.”

Xu Lan was momentarily speechless. No words of rebuttal could come out of his mouth, but a gush of redness started rising to the tip of his ear.
