Chapter 606: Slowly Opening

Everyone cheered Li An on, their voices merging into a powerful force that gave him boundless courage.

At last, through Li An's relentless effort, the interference of the mysterious power was successfully bypassed. A dazzling beam of light shot out from the machine, and the passage to the new anime world slowly opened.

"We did it!" The crowd cheered, their faces beaming with joyful smiles.

"Li An, you're amazing!" Okabe Rintaro ran over excitedly and hugged Li An tightly.

"Yeah, you always manage to turn danger into safety." Makise Kurisu walked over as well, her eyes shining with admiration.

Li An panted slightly, a weary smile on his face: "Alright, I should set off now."

He turned to look at Guo Yao, his eyes full of tenderness: "Yaoyao, wait for me to come back."

Guo Yao's eyes glistened with tears. She nodded firmly: "You must be careful. I'll be waiting for you."

Li An and the others had finally shaken off the pursuit of the SERN workers and temporarily gained a chance to catch their breath. However, Guo Yao's unconsciousness and the secrets hidden in the world line still weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like two mountains. To find a way to solve the problem, at Amane Suzu's suggestion, Li An decided to step into a brand-new anime world, hoping to find new clues there.

The instant Li An and his companions stepped into this unfamiliar world, a strange aura rushed at them. The sky was a deep purple, with enormous clouds of various shapes floating in it. The vegetation on the ground shimmered with dazzling colors—everything looked mysterious and alien.

"This... is the new world?" Shiina Mayuri widened her eyes, gazing curiously around, her face full of wonder.

"It doesn't look simple at all—everyone be careful." Li An's brows knit slightly. His eyes swept warily over the surroundings, and his hands unconsciously tightened their grip on his weapon. He keenly sensed that this world seemed to harbor some kind of danger.

Just as the group hadn't had time to take a good look at this world, a low roar came from all directions. Immediately after, a group of mysterious figures in black robes rushed out from the shadows and surrounded them. These mysterious figures all wore black masks, revealing only pairs of hostile eyes that stared coldly at Li An and the others.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Li An stepped forward, shielding Guo Yao behind him, and demanded loudly, a note of inviolable authority in his voice.

The leader of the mysterious figures snorted coldly and said in a hoarse voice: "Outsiders, this is not a place you should have come. Surrender obediently, and perhaps we'll spare your lives."

Guo Yao hid behind Li An, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly, her body trembling slightly, her eyes full of fear: "Li An, I'm so scared..."

Li An gently patted Guo Yao's hand and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He turned his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the mysterious figures: "If you want us to surrender, then try it!"

The mysterious figures wasted no more words and launched the first attack. They rapidly formed hand seals, and streaks of black light shot toward Li An and the others like arrows. These lights were extremely fast, and constantly shifted trajectory mid-flight, making them nearly impossible to defend against.

"Watch out!" Li An shouted, swiftly drawing his weapon and holding it in front of him. The black light struck the weapon with a piercing screech, and the tremendous impact numbed his arm slightly..
