Chapter 426 - Haversack

TL: LifeisaJourney

The sudden appearance of the strange black fog surprised Liu Gan. He observed the changes in appearance as it roiled out there, as if it was concentrating on keeping something down. The black fog surrounded the entire park, but stopped short of entering the premises as if held back by a wall. Hand-like shapes were extending out from the black fog, looking as if something was trapped beneath the surface and trying to claw its way out. At other parts were the shapes of fantastic mouths that seemed to want to swallow everything whole.

“What is that?” asked the other players as they witnessed the phenomenon, shocked. They had witnessed countless mist-fog features before, but this was a first even for them.

Liu Gan tried to use the new earpiece to contact Yin He, but that proved to be unsuccessful, there was no reply. It was completely silent, no different then being broken.

The wall of malice started slowly closing in on Moonlight Gulf Theme Park. Liu Gan sensed the danger and ordered everyone to retreat within the park. While moving backward, they monitored the actions of the black fog. They couldn't figure out how the cloud could take shape, or what the fog was made out of.

Could it be that the entire world outside had been consumed by this wall of malice? That didn’t make sense! Along the way, they hadn’t seen any signs of the black fog! It wasn’t logical for it to suddenly appear in the short time that they were here.

The squad released sighs of relief. The wall of malice had stopped short of Moonlight Gulf’s front gate, and didn’t breach. It was stopped short of entering, but it continued to roil. If they move closer to it, they could hear sounds of beasts howling in pain.

“What is going on? When we entered, there was nothing of this sort!” The players started to panic.

Liu Gan didn’t say anything regarding the black fog. This was all too abnormal, even for him. Yin He and NaNa weren’t able to pass through the gate, but everyone else was present. Wasn’t this similar to the situation on the Serenity airship? When they were dragged into the dreamland?

Last time, Liu Gan was dragged into the dreamland through an ability of the Nightmare Jellyfish, but he was woken up by Yin He’s call. Eventually, he was able to come to his senses. This time it was completely different. Liu Gan clearly knew that he wasn’t in a dreamland. It was just that Yin He and NaNa were missing, while everyone else was accounted for.

Liu Gan had his suspicions that this time it wasn’t a hallucination or a dream. Instead, he felt that this theme park was the entrance to the Evil Dragon’s nest. It could also be a portal to a different dimension, since everyone living who entered was able to pass through.

At least this portal was able to only allow biological beings to pass through. Anything else wouldn’t be able to enter. That would explain why only he and the players were able to enter, while Yin He and NaNa were refused entry!

This portal’s exit point was separate from the entry. It was a one-way portal that started from the theme park’s grandiose gate, where they stepped into the dimensional space. It was impossible to leave this dimension through the same point they had entered. If there was an entry point, there must be an exit point. They must find this exit point, and fast.
