Chapter 65: Black Hole

~7 min read 1,397 words

The other two soon saw this scene as well, and their eyes widened instantly.

Good grief, not only had the room's doors and windows disappeared,

but a black hole that led to who knows where had appeared inside the house?

In front of the bed, Ding Mo poked his head in, and a damp, gloomy aura rushed toward his face. It was like the maw of some living creature!

Some sounds seemed to be coming from the black hole, but they were muffled and unclear.

——The sound heard outside the door just now had come from here.

"What is this?" Zhang Yunfan, who had also crawled down, said in a low voice.

No one answered him; absolutely no one knew the answer.

"It wasn't there when I checked today..." Gu Zixu said in a low voice, as if in defense?

But just as she finished this sentence, she suddenly looked back.

A figure had appeared at the room's entrance.

It was Xiao Yu; it seemed that because the three had been gone for so long, she couldn't help but come over to take a look.

But at this moment, the sound coming from the black hole in the ears of the few changed suddenly.

As if it had sensed the people peeking at the hole, the sound of sharp objects scraping against stone echoed in the black hole, and it was getting closer!

Ding Mo's expression changed.

Gu Zixu also said: "Retreat!"

The three scrambled up quickly.

After Gu Zixu came out last, Ding Mo quickly pulled the room door shut.

Just as it closed, there was a "bang"!

It seemed something had rushed out from under the bed! It slammed against the door panel!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The continuous, frantic pounding felt like heavy hammers falling upon their hearts.

Feeling the immense force coming from the other side of the door, Ding Mo was secretly shocked to find the door frame actually deforming!

He roared instantly:

"Quick! Get something to block the door! Its strength is too great!"

Soon, Gu Zixu and Zhang Yunfan pushed over a heavy eight-immortal table, completely sealing the room door!

Bang!

The few people sitting on the eight-immortal table jumped.

It wouldn't keep going like this until dawn, would it... Ding Mo thought.

But he was clearly overthinking; the "thing" in the room seemed to see it couldn't break through and gradually quieted down.

After about an hour by his estimation, there was no more movement inside.

Zhang Yunfan let out a breath, exhaustion appearing on his face.

In this godforsaken place, it seemed impossible to get a good night's sleep.

Next, they let Xiao Yu return to the living room, and the few sat there, resting with their backs against the table.

Fortunately, after several checks, the other parts of the room did not have the same situation, otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to block them all.

In the darkness, the three sat side by side, none of them speaking.

"Hey, Ding Mo, do you think there's a possibility?" Zhang Yunfan looked up at the ceiling and said suddenly:

"That this fog was released by the Processing Bureau?"

"What?" Ding Mo turned his head to look at him:

"You mean the Processing Bureau doesn't want us to leave?"

"I wouldn't find it strange no matter what those bastards want to do," Zhang Yunfan gave a bitter smile:

"Anyway, if you ask, it's for humanity, for human order, for the safety of the world.

"Fuck them, in their eyes, we don't even count as people..."

Ding Mo listened in silence.

The classic "We will protect humanity, but whether you are human is decided by us."

"Gu Zixu, what do you think?" Zhang Yunfan asked.

"Hmm..." But Gu Zixu seemed tired and had actually fallen asleep.

Her little head was tilted at this moment, leaning faintly against Ding Mo's shoulder. Amidst her steady breathing, her hair swayed gently.

At a glance, there was absolutely no feeling of the "killer" she had when awake; she was completely just an ordinary street girl.

She just looked like she liked to act cool a bit more.

"Anyway, if I have the chance, sooner or later I'll fuck them over," Zhang Yunfan muttered to himself upon seeing this.

"Ding Mo, what about you?"

"Me?" Ding Mo thought for a moment.

"Same here."

The night passed without further words.

The next morning.

Amidst the morning bell, Ding Mo woke up completely.

Unknowingly, he had actually dozed off for a while.

Raising his eyes to look around, Gu Zixu had already woken up, and with Xiao Yu, the two—one big, one small—were sitting obediently on the sofa.

Ding Mo looked back at the room door, hesitated for a moment, and then got up to come to the living room:

"What is Zhang Yunfan doing in the kitchen?"

"Cooking," Gu Zixu replied briefly.

"And you?"

"Waiting for him to cook." Gu Zixu sat with her hands on her knees, sitting upright and stiff.

"O-okay..." Ding Mo scratched his head, paying no mind to Xiao Yu playing by herself to the side,

and instead looked toward the balcony.

The curtains pulled open last night had not been drawn, and as for the balcony.

One only had to look at how the room was just as gloomy as last night to know—the balcony was still just a wall.

The situation had not changed at all!

Noticing his gaze, Gu Zixu said:

"Every place is still the same as last night."

Ding Mo frowned.

Could it be that they were going to be trapped here until they died?

Having eaten the morning porridge absent-mindedly, they set down their bowls and chopsticks, and the group began to discuss again.

A moment later.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Ding Mo, combining the strength of everyone, pushed a heavy object to smash the wall!

Then, the group used knives and hardware tools found in the room to pry open the wall.

Click-clack!

With great difficulty, they finally made a hole the size of a fist in the concrete wall.

However, when Ding Mo dug it out completely and looked outside, he only saw another wall!

The pristine white paint blocked Ding Mo's line of sight.

He turned his head and looked at the two silent people behind him:

"Should we keep digging?"

"... Keep going!" Zhang Yunfan gritted his teeth.

He refused to believe it.

But next,

One wall, two walls; the group spent several hours and chiseled through three whole walls.

Yet behind them, there was still one white wall after another, as if there were no end at all.

Ding Mo rested wearily to the side, while Zhang Yunfan slumped on the ground with a dazed expression.

There was no way out...

As for Xiao Yu,

She sat on a chair to the side, neither crying nor making a fuss, just watching this scene curiously.

It was as if she were watching some children's cartoon.

Just like that, the morning passed.

Dong—!

It was unknown how it was done, but a bell sound actually rang out in the fully enclosed space.

But once this bell rang, the three of them understood that the time had now reached noon.

Rumble~

The bowl of porridge from the morning had long since been digested, and Zhang Yunfan's stomach began to growl.

The food had all been eaten.

Ding Mo looked at him and suddenly spoke:

"I have a proposal."

Seeing the two people's gazes turn toward him, Ding Mo stood up and walked to the door of the room that was blocked by the Eight Immortals table.

"Wh-what?!" Realizing something, Zhang Yunfan was startled!

"You want us to crawl through that hole?"

"There's no other path to take."

"You!" Zhang Yunfan had an expression that said, 'Are you crazy?'

But after hearing this, Gu Zixu's expression did not change in the slightest. She stood up and spat out only one word:

"Fine."

It was as if she had been prepared for a long time.

"You, had you anticipated this long ago?" Ding Mo hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I was waiting for your resolve," Gu Zixu glanced at Zhang Yunfan,

"Without the determination to face death, there is no chance to find life in death!"

"..."

Seeing this, Zhang Yunfan hesitated for several seconds, but finally gritted his teeth:

"Damn it, let's do it!"
