Chapter 1041

He didn't know how long he had been shuttling through the space-time tunnel, but at the end, white light flickered. Ning Chen looked over and figured this must be the exit.

The vehicle gradually approached the light and was then completely enveloped by it.

The intense light made it impossible to keep one's eyes open. Ning Chen unconsciously closed his eyes, and by the time he opened them again, the scenery outside had become very unfamiliar.

To find out where this place was, Ning Chen hurriedly checked the RV's map.

But unexpectedly, apart from the place they were currently at, every other location on the RV's map was covered with question marks, as if it hadn't been unlocked.

Ning Chen called out to the system several times in his mind.

As expected, the system made no sound at all.

Looking at the map, the place they were at now was called the Dark Forest, and they were right at its very center. No matter what, they had to get out of here first.

But before that, Ning Chen glanced at Xiao Han, who was deep in thought beside him, and asked aloud, "What place is this?"

Xiao Han came back to his senses. He looked at Ning Chen and realized that although Ning Chen's words sounded like a question, his tone was unusually certain, as if he already knew exactly where this was.

"How did you know?" Xiao Han was a little surprised. He did indeed recognize this place; it had once been one of his mission locations.

Glancing at the thoroughly surprised Xiao Han, Ning Chen replied calmly, "Surprise — your eyes hold no surprise at all, only confusion and a trace of familiarity."

Arriving at a new place, even the most composed person would show surprise in their eyes; confusion alone doesn't make sense.

Xiao Han just now seemed to be wondering why they had ended up here, and that in itself was highly abnormal — he seemed puzzled because he already knew where this place was.

Xiao Han stared at Ning Chen for a moment. He might now understand why that person had asked him to come find him for help. Ning Chen was truly formidable — his astonishing insight, his ability to think, and his many skills made him an absolute leader of any team.

"I've been here before, but I didn't stay long. I was on a mission at the time."

Hearing Xiao Han's explanation, Ning Chen nodded. It wasn't that he believed Xiao Han's words, but because even if he knew, it wouldn't be of much use.

After all,

the task of opening the space-time tunnel had also been given to him by the system.

"Ouch, my neck is killing me."

Su Xing's Lin Yi was clutching his own neck. He had been lying the whole time on Facing Huo Jinglin's shoulder, and tilting to one side for so long had left his neck extremely sore.

Looking around, Lin Yi noticed that Facing Huo Jinglin was still asleep, Gu Yanqi was lying on another sofa, while Ning Chen and Xiao Han sat in the driver's seat and the passenger seat respectively.

"Ning Chen, where is this place, and what happened? All I remember is that we seemed to be surrounded by a light, and then we passed out."

Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi, confirmed that his complexion was fine, then looked ahead without saying a word.

Seeing that Ning Chen hadn't answered his question, Lin Yi didn't press further. After all, getting a man of few words to talk was, to say the least, a bit much to ask.

Fortunately, Xiao Han spoke up to explain the situation: "This place isn't your original world. You could say it's a different world."

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Lin Yi no longer cared about the pain in his neck. He stared at Xiao Han with wide eyes, the surprise in them practically spilling out.

"Not our original world?! That's terrifying — is this transmigration?"

Xiao Han opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain. After thinking for a moment, he put it in the simplest way possible: "Roughly, you can think of it as another planet, except there are none of the people from before here."

After a two-or-three-second mental crash, Lin Yi quickly looked at Ning Chen, as if seeking confirmation from him.

Ning Chen looked back.

Having spent so much time with Ning Chen, Lin Yi was absolutely certain what Ning Chen's gaze meant right now — wasn't that an affirmation? They had actually come to another world?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi got thoroughly excited. He went over to Facing Huo Jinglin joyfully and started shaking him.

"Facing Huo Jinglin, wake up, something big has happened, wake up right now!"

Watching Lin Yi, who seemed completely unafraid, three question marks popped up above Xiao Han's head.

"Your friend… isn't afraid?"

Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi, who was pestering Facing Huo Jinglin, and gave a slight shake of his head.

One had to know that Lin Yi's capacity to take things was huge, especially since he had already gone through all sorts of bizarre experiences with him.

Under Lin Yi's relentless pestering, Facing Huo Jinglin finally woke up. He opened his eyes slightly, his mind rebooting.

And the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Yi's big face, enlarged right in front of him.

His brain, not yet having caught up, could only stare blankly at Lin Yi, eyes unblinking.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was startled. He turned his head toward Ning Chen and shouted, "Something's wrong, Ning Chen — this guy Facing Huo Jinglin has gone stupid!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Yi's head was suddenly smacked. Facing Huo Jinglin pressed his own throbbing temple and said in a slightly hoarse voice,

"Stop yelling, you're driving me crazy. And besides, even if you're stupid, I can't be."

Seeing that Facing Huo Jinglin could still roast him meant he really was fine. Lin Yi rushed forward and threw his arms around Facing Huo Jinglin.

"Waaah, as long as you're okay, I thought you'd gone stupid."

Facing Huo Jinglin disgustedly pushed Lin Yi away, opened a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and then observed his surroundings.

Through the window, Facing Huo Jinglin saw the towering trees outside and the feeling of being enclosed.

"Bro Ning, where exactly are we?"

Lin Yi quickly explained to Facing Huo Jinglin that they were no longer in their original world.

After hearing this, Facing Huo Jinglin was silent for a moment, then said, "Another world? Then what's the chance for us to go back in the future?"

It had to be said, Facing Huo Jinglin really did think far ahead and very carefully.

Xiao Han glanced at him and said, "Once I find my thing, we'll naturally be able to go back. Don't worry."

Facing Huo Jinglin swept a glance at him and said nothing. For now, Facing Huo Jinglin couldn't bring himself to trust Xiao Han.

Of course, Facing Huo Jinglin didn't believe it, and Ning Chen, since 8
