Giant bones spanned entire rooms, and others, shaped like spikes, spread out in rows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor was dimly lit, though the source of this light was unknown, as the prison appeared to be sealed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran forward along the corridor, with the lighting flickering between brightness and darkness, his vision switching back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment was exceedingly bizarre, yet he saw hope of escape. At least he could still move freely here, couldn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling something amiss, he glanced back and saw a black and white silhouette trailing him not far behind. It resembled a person but was short, with an indistinct face, long arms, thick legs, leaving static screens on the ground it passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing moved incredibly fast, closing in on him in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fengyan felt despair, shackled and only slightly faster than an ordinary person, he was bound to be caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he kept running, unwilling to surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to make one last struggle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he was caught, and his vision plunged into darkness. When he reopened his eyes, he was lying on the ground, staring at a familiar ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt dazed, thinking he had returned to the previous room, the surroundings identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, he heard footsteps again. This time, they didn’t approach him but gradually moved away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was the time on his phone and a chat with Chen Ling, otherwise, he might’ve thought he’d gone back several minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering this, he looked to the ceiling once more, watching the snowflakes reappear, obscuring his vision as if something was about to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back, instinctively glancing behind only to find the bars gone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, he ran forward down the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Identical environment, identical experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he looked back earlier, noting the creature had emerged from the very room he was in and was following his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only faster than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fengyan swung a punch back at it, and as soon as he touched it, his vision blacked out once again, bringing him face-to-face with the familiar ceiling pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, the pattern resembled a twisted human face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he genuinely panicked, hearing footsteps again, only farther away, before seeing the snow screen on the ceiling once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rammed into the bars but was bounced back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, the bars vanished before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fengyan dashed out, running in the direction the footsteps were leaving. The scene was still familiar, seemingly unchanged from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silhouette pursued him again, its speed about the same as before, but this time he was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice echoed down the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more, the familiar ceiling appeared in front of his eyes, along with the familiar pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is happening!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly confused, yet not entirely willing to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Guo Fengyan timed the bars’ disappearance, and dashed out, running forward along the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled that one of the doors in a room ahead was open, perhaps he could hide inside to evade the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, by the time he ran in and tried to close the door, the creature had chased him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terror, he found himself back in the previous spot, staring at the familiar ceiling, the familiar pattern, feeling somewhat on the verge of collapse, his eyes bloodshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the bars vanished, he instinctively ran out, replicating his previous actions, finding a nearer room to hide in, and shut the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature battered the door from outside, causing the bars to deform and bend, before bursting in and hitting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this repetitive cycle, he gradually neared a breakdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could persist in repeating meaningless actions indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This torment was more terrifying and unbearable than death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the vast number of mysterious items procured from the Doomsday Shop last night, Su Changxing crafted a hundred pendants once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of these hundred pendants was different, no two were exactly alike. In effect, they could broadly guide ordinary people to become Extraordinary, though their details varied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was due to the rules, no two mysterious items were entirely identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An was stunned to see the pendants hanging from both Su Changxing’s hands, \"Were all these made by Brother Su using those mysterious items?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More or less, these things can only be worn personally, not passed on or sold.\" Su Changxing emphasized once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’ll head over now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An took the pendant and left immediately, humming a tune as he seemed to be in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Extraordinary influences the outside world but also gets influenced by it. In theory, a place with a large number of Extraordinary is prone to spawning new ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a kind of aggregation effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a certain point, the Extraordinary will emerge explosively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what is called the ’Era of the Extraordinary.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Era of the Extraordinary wasn’t given by the Doomsday Game, but created by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Chang Yi walked in as Zhou An was leaving, holding a red leather book in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a mysterious item, enhancing control over the Fire Element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Team Leader, our third team also deserves a share, doesn’t it? You gave so much to Captain Zhou and the others,\" Chang Yi feigned grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing made over twenty pendants appear in his hand, glanced at Chang Yi, and chuckled, \"Already prepared, knowing you’d come by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Yi carefully accepted the pendants, nodded, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Team Leader, but there’s one more thing... Miss Bai is missing. I suspect she escaped. We suspect she’s not an Extraordinary, but from the Wizard World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People from the Wizard World?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing raised an eyebrow, surprised by this turn of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t sensed any wizardly aura from Miss Bai, so he naturally assumed she was just an ordinary Extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you find out?\" Su Changxing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Yi shrugged and said: \"Simple, we checked her ID, which she couldn’t provide. Initially, we thought she just didn’t want to say. Later, it turned out she knew nothing about the forum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as we were about to capture her, she vanished. A set of a wizard’s magic robe was found in the infirmary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever her intentions might have been, whether to gather intel or something else, many people in this settlement had received treatment from her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing realized he had been negligent, allowing a wizard to stay under his nose for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if uncertain of their intent, it was certainly dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-05T22:30:04.933Z",1,"novelbin.me","819fd26d066803a3c5f9a2085669cc54df37afbcaeb50c23d9f974d3ad1ba762","global-game-i-have-portable-store-chapter-522","global-game-i-have-portable-store-chapter-521",584,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-game-i-have-portable-store-cover.jpg"]
