Chapter 4 (1/2)
Deep at night in the dense jungle, Michelle and Annie's formation remained the same with one in front and one behind Kubei
But in Kubei'sthe same words
Those words were from the spell that Annie used
”If you really want to learn ht as well ask the me to repeat this” The Syste the incantation for countless times
”That can only happen if they're willing to teach me and not beat me to a point where I lose too much blood”
Kubei was not giving up even though he has not mastered the incantation,
”Don't stop, continue on”
After discovering the utility of the Syste this incantation for half an hour
At the same time, Michelle has also led the to her, the location of the treasure chest was already close by They should be able to arrive after another hour of walking
Kubei was happy In fact, he was really happy
The journey froround base to the treasure chest was like hell He has had to drag his weak body while being chased - and occasionally whipped - by Annie froht end up dying half way!
At the same time, he has to bear the stress of death, because if Michelle were to find out anything, he ht be killed
Under these twin pressures, he would rather they arrive at the destination earlier
”Seeing that you're this weak, I don't think you're capable of learningto collapse after repeating the incantation for a few hundred times
”No, I' left on loop”
Kubei wasn't planning on sparing it
Before this, the System was so quick to broadcast useless information - how could Kubei spare it this time? This is what you call karma
Regarding the spell, he could not seem to find any way to learn it currently But the only clue he has is this incantation, so of course he will not treat it lightly The Chinese proverbs are right: When a book is read a hundred ti will come to you naturally, and incantations are probably the same
If once or tould not work, then he will listen to it up to thousands and millions of times!
He knows that oftentiht be the most efficient
”Truthfully, rather than relying on spells, you should just think of a way to escape instead” The Systeic can be learnt slowly later on, if you die now, even if you learn the spell, it'll be useless”
Kubei thought for a while and nodded,”Yeah…you're right”
After hearing this, the Syste to cry Its robotic voice quivered like that of a stranded traveller who found an oasis in a desert
Finally, it can stop repeating the incantation!
After that, Kubei said,
”Well, do you have other ?”
The System crumbled once more
Kubei heard what see apart
Even if it was unwilling, the Systeain
Once, twice, thrice…Kubei got rid of all his other thoughts, and fully focused on the incantations In this process, the world beca left seemed to be the incantation
That majestic, incomprehensible and mysterious incantation
Slowly, he gathered all his senses and felt like he was out of his body and entered a mystical state
His pupils stoppedand the color faded like that of a blind person His breathing and blood circulation also gradually slowed down The sharp stones penetrated the skin of his feet but he felt nothing
Annie didn't observe his strange state In her view, Kubei's body was only beco weaker than it already was
Kubei's body continued to advance and he still felt nothing
But he are in his mind
Kubei suddenly realized that he was in an odd dimension
”Where…is this?”
It was an endless void with absolute silence
It was pitch black
This place was like ice that froze his soul,it hard to think He could not feel any vibrations, warmth, or even his heartbeat and blood flow
He even could not feel the passage of time
A sense of danger ca swamp, and so him
It would not be good if this continues
He started struggling, but his body was like a mouse pulled from the USB port, and there was no response however hethe syste the endless chill, his brain, like a fan with the electricity cut off, stopped spinning and started collecting dust and spider webs
The swaer he raised on the surface
His thinking stopped, and he lost all consciousness
It continued for a long time, or maybe it was a while
Then it was like a river that defrosted at spring's arrival, like soaining consciousness
What…came in?
He started thinking
He was curious about what caone and he was unable to feel anything He was like a dot on an endless surface, and there was nothing he could do
But he didn't give up and he continued struggling against the laws that bound him in place
In the dark, he started feeling the thing that seeped in coled, the clearer the thing became
After it ca familiar
Its na his ears…Kubei struggled to re, and the screen wouldn't break
What was it
He was like a spring that was stretched and compressed by soer and stronger
He was about to crumble
He felt as if he was going to die any moment
He was still thinking of that thing's na, if he said it out, all the troubles he was facing noould be resolved Its nam stuck to Kubei's throat, he opened his ht just to try to spit it out
The veins on his neck popped out and his skin became red
The screen was slowly shattering
He felt like he was closer to the answer, and also closer to death
But death felt closer
Suddenly, he was like a balloon that had a hole, as his life drained away quickly A chill slowly eradually froze his will to fight
A to die?
But he was just an inch away from the answer, just an inch
He couldn't say it out
He wasn't willing to die
He was like a rocket that burned up all its fuel right when it was about to penetrate the atravity
How could he be willing?
He couldn't say it out
Since he couldn't say it, ht as well not say it!
He felt like a ball of flaathered in his throat He was like an active volcano that saved up its energy in a split second of calm and then exploded at once!
”fuck…fuck you!”
It was like a dot that extended into an endless straight line
A blinding light suddenly appeared and split the world of darkness into half!
Kubei's stress vanished right away
He could feel hi, the frozen blood began flowing again He could feel the ele his soul, helping hi as he had never felt before!
”Hahahahaha!”
