Chapter 121: 119 The Real World

Seeing Xin Junmao's body suddenly undergo a deformity, Li Nuowei's eyes showed a hint of strangeness, yet he did not feel too surprised.

He had long guessed that this kid was definitely not some normal person; could a normal person appear here just like him, and be so familiar with everything here?

Suddenly, a large expanse of even more dark green threads swept in from all directions, emitting a dim, faint light, wanting to drag everything into the abyss of despair.

Xin Junmao paused immediately; he himself might have wanted to coolly say "You go first," but he didn't expect Li Nuowei to run ahead of him without mercy, instantly charging into the black light curtain inside the Tunnel, his figure vanishing abruptly.

"Heh, an interesting new friend." Xin Junmao chuckled, not angry. He looked back at the faceless female body emerging from his back, watching the female monster expand and split before him. "Hurry up and eat them; consider it tonight's midnight snack."

The female monster seemed to have received a command that excited her, and her fission speed accelerated instantly. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a massive lump covered in human limbs. The lump tore open several large mouths, gnawing on all the threads that approached. Xin Junmao was sandwiched within the lump by thousands of alluring, fair female arms, indifferent to the slaughter and devouring between the monsters.

Li Nuowei fell into the void, and after experiencing dozens of seconds of falling in the darkness, his soul finally fell back into his body.

He had returned to the moment after Drake was sent to the hospital, when he was keeping watch by the other's bedside.

Li Nuowei opened his eyes with some difficulty; the blood-red color was even more piercing than sunlight, as if it wanted to burn through his eyeballs. His eyes instinctively rolled out scorching tears, and for a moment, he was actually unable to stop crying.

"Mm... Li Nuowei?" Drake, having just woken up from the hospital bed, saw Li Nuowei sitting by the bedside, but found that Li Nuowei was sitting weakly to the side. He rubbed his eyes, his sense of smell also gradually recovering. He stared and saw that Li Nuowei, who was covering his eyes, was bleeding; fresh blood was gushing out from his eyes. "Why are you bleeding?"

"It's fine, a small problem," Li Nuowei responded through gritted teeth. He didn't know if this was a negative effect brought on by the Death Reincarnation, or the bitter fruit planted for him by that "Strawberry Flavored Candy" he had eaten.

At this moment, the hospital was in chaos. Fire alarms blared throughout the entire building, screams continued from upstairs, and everyone in the inpatient building was in a state of panic; no one cared about the somewhat strange-looking Li Nuowei and Drake.

Li Nuowei grabbed a box of tissues from the nightstand beside the bed and pulled them out frantically, wiping away the blood and tears.

Fortunately, the blood and tears did not last long and soon dried up.

Li Nuowei only felt that the world before his eyes was a bit blood-red and blurry. He worried internally that he might have gone blind, but he soon discovered that his eyes were not blind, but broken.

The world that met his eyes was no longer the normal world, but the scene from the Flesh Dimension he had experienced before. He looked at the tissue in his hand.

Aside from the tactile sensation and the smell, he actually could not distinguish that this was an item used to wipe away blood and tears, because in his eyes, the tissue in his hand was the fresh skin of unknown creatures.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Li Nuowei in a daze, Drake asked with concern, even though he was also very worried about what kind of accident had happened outside; the whole hospital was noisy and everyone was in a panic.

Li Nuowei looked at Drake. The other was sitting on a hospital bed woven with meat maggots and flesh, his face bloodless. He shook his head: "I'm fine, let's go."

"Okay." Drake had the same intention and quickly got up from the bed.

Afterwards, the two successfully got into a shared car once again. On the drive, Drake repeated the words Li Nuowei had already heard countless times on different reincarnation lines.

Drake suggested exploring the Air Raid Shelter. Li Nuowei recalled his and Drake's experience on the island in the previous reincarnation line and immediately dismissed the idea of going to the island to explore again, but he agreed with Drake's idea of deciphering the Air Raid Shelter.

Li Nuowei looked out the car window. The world before his eyes was still in the style of the Flesh Dimension. He could now confirm that he could no longer see the scenery of the Real World; he could only see the cruel world of flesh and blood.

"If I had known, I should have eaten the other candy." Li Nuowei sighed secretly. Now, everything that was positive and uplifting in his eyes had become dilapidated and rotten. Most of the humans on the road could not maintain their original appearance, and he couldn't even be sure if those weird guys whose heads could grow out of their belly buttons were really human.

Drake's appearance was equally strange in his eyes. Although still humanoid, his face was infinitely approaching that of a zombie about to lose its mind. On his pale skin, distinct purple-blue veins emerged, his eye sockets were deeply black, and when he opened his mouth, it was a pitch-black, rotten maw with yellow, broken teeth.

These strange phenomena only appeared in Li Nuowei's eyes, but Li Nuowei could feel that the actual appearance of things had not changed at all; the one with the problem was him.

This was probably the consequence of eating the Strawberry Flavored Candy; he saw the cruel, real world that Lin Laoban had spoken of.

Li Nuowei calmed his heart, steadied his emotions, and once again confessed to Drake the abilities he possessed, as well as their important experiences on different reincarnation lines, informing the other of the danger of heading to the Air Raid Shelter.

"Alien God, in this small Liuhua Port, there are actually two Alien Gods existing at the same time?" Drake showed a wry smile. "I really don't know what kind of F-Class Investigation Mission I accepted."

Li Nuowei smiled and said: "As long as you complete this mission, obtain some useful intelligence, and survive this incident, you will definitely be able to skip grades and be promoted directly to the ranks of Professional Mystery Investigator." The so-called Professional Mystery Investigator refers to a Mystery Investigator of D-Class and above. These levels of Mystery Investigators often have a professional organization behind them, such as authoritative organizations like the Xuanmi Group.

Drake gave a cold laugh, followed by a sigh. "How could it be that easy?"

Li Nuowei had already started over thousands of times; one could imagine the difficulty of this Abnormal incident.

"Then do you want to continue the investigation, or give up?" Li Nuowei asked in return.

Drake was silent for a moment. Compared to death, not being able to discover the truth and solve the case before dying was the true doomsday disaster for him. Dying in the exploration of the case would instead be dying for a worthy cause.

"Continue the investigation!" Drake took a deep breath, suddenly slammed the steering wheel, and turned around to drive toward the city center.

"Where are you going?" Li Nuowei was curious. He didn't expect Drake to make a different choice; he hadn't chosen between going to the island or going down into the Air Raid Shelter.

"Going to Liuhua Twelve Streets one more time." Drake said in a deep voice.
