Chapter 201: If There Is No

"Uh... let me confirm again, this gentleman, you mean, even if you have awakened a noble ability and are a noble ability user... you still choose to retain this lottery result and choose to land on the island?"

The soldier leader was clearly very stunned.

Although Wen Xishu possessed the Power of the Three Phases and could forcibly stay on the Ark and let others go to their deaths...

But he had to assume that there was a way to break the situation without the Power of the Three Phases, and assume whether the Sin Soil Fragments—that is, the various islands—contained certain secrets.

So he decided to land on the island.

But the interesting part was that the solidification of class made people here seem to feel that Wen Xishu was an alien.

Even the other seven cannon fodder felt—how could there be such a person?

Although it was said that many people returned safely from landing on the island, they had all lost the concept of some things in their minds.

It was said that those people whose lives no longer had the concept of water still could not understand water to this day, and when they saw the sea, they only felt it was some kind of huge... living thing.

Since the Ark was sailing on the sea, this also caused these people to have a very difficult life, living in fear every day.

And those people whose lives no longer had children, some didn't even recognize their own children.

Of course, there were also many people who stayed on the island forever.

No one was willing to go... The Ark was not short of population; after the Ark achieved perpetual ecological circulation, babies would be born regularly, and even currently, there was an overloaded population.

So why would an ability user take this risk?

Wen Xishu certainly wouldn't explain to them what was an easy thing and what was a correct thing.

He just nodded:

"I am sure. But before that, can you let me see the captain?"

The soldier leader shook his head:

"Sorry... the captain refuses all visits."

Wen Xishu frowned; the soldier leader was quite firm. This time, Wen Xishu relied on showing his strength to directly become a superior person on the Ark.

Others could die, but he was exempt from death.

But even as a superior person on the Ark, he didn't even have the qualification to see the captain.

Wen Xishu said:

"What if I insist on seeing him?"

The soldier leader's attitude remained firm:

"Although you have awakened an ability, there are many good hands around the captain; forgive me for being blunt, among them, some can even suppress sea beasts..."

"Although it is only for a moment, this kind of power can be called God descending to the world."

"Your ability has awakened, we are happy for you, but I am very sorry, the captain is our only true god."

Wen Xishu heard it; this Ark captain was also an incredible qualified person. The power distribution of the Ark might be much more complex than he imagined.

Wen Xishu said:

"Is there really no way to see the captain?"

Wen Xishu had already thought that the person who could steer the Ark was definitely not an ordinary person.

Since qualified people had become the powerful and privileged class on the Ark, the captain of the Ark must also be an existence with extremely perverted abilities.

Wen Xishu even thought of... a few special guys.

Below the twelve supreme powerhouses, there were fugitives like Ding Dong.

Their abilities could not compare to those twelve people, but they also possessed power that ordinary qualified people could not match at all.

And now, two people had already appeared.

One appeared in the pastor's memory, and another appeared in the spiritual museum Wen Xishu had visited.

Wen Xishu was very curious, would there be another one this time?

The reason he intuitively locked onto those "demigods" was because the Ark was too consistent with Wen Xishu's stereotypes of those demigods.

Ding Dong was kind-hearted and was endowed with beautiful virtues by Professor Jin, so Ding Dong's approach was to die once, be reborn in the fire, and then withdraw from the battlefield. This way, he avoided those terrible constellations in terms of causality.

So what about the others?

The other four must all be hiding.

And could ordinary hiding really avoid the search of the twelve constellations?

Sin Soil, other worlds, the old man selling tea's affiliation...

Wen Xishu always felt that there was still a force, and this force was hidden in the gap between the Bunker and the Three Towers. If those demigods wanted to escape, perhaps they would choose Sin Soil.

Facing Wen Xishu's question, the soldier leader replied:

"That is natural, unless someone knows a way to avoid the Sea of Sin; the Sea of Sin's pursuit of living things is like a curse. If someone can let us get rid of the curse, I think he will become the hero of the entire Ark! A legend!"

Wen Xishu had been too good at being a hero and a legend recently, it sounded like this. It was like a reduced version of the Bunker and the Tower Ascension.

But the problem was, he felt this was not right. He felt the Ark shouldn't have such a "mechanism."

Actually, the Ark plan itself inexplicably gave Wen Xishu a sense of conspiracy.

According to everyone's description, the Ark entered the Sea of Sin inexplicably and suddenly.

And then the Sea of Sin, Sin Soil Fragments, where did these names come from? Who was the first to call them that?

However, at the moment, these questions could not be answered.

Seven days, with the Power of the Three Phases, Wen Xishu had some confidence to solve the mystery of the Sin Soil Fragments.

"Okay, then I will find another opportunity next time. Is it almost time? After everyone is full and satisfied, you can arrange for us to land on the island."

……

……

The islands of the Sea of Sin were random.

People on the Ark had been sailing on the Sea of Sin for a while and finally concluded that the Sea of Sin had no end, and the end of the Sea of Sin might be hidden in the islands.

If you wanted to stop the ship in this sea area, you could definitely find a docking point.

On the Sea of Sin, there were many Sin Soil Fragments floating, with different shapes, and after entering the Sin Soil Fragments, the content inside was also completely different.

According to what those who landed before said, some people landed on the island and found they had entered a primeval forest. Some people landed on the island and entered a great desert that shouldn't belong to an ocean island.

There were also people who landed on the island and entered a city.

Not only was the structure of the islands different, but even after landing on the island, the identity of the person landing would change.

Wen Xishu felt more and more—

Landing on the island and climbing the tower had similarities.

He was thinking, could it be that the fate of all shelters was the same as the Bunker?

Could it be that it wasn't just Bunker people who were experiencing the Three Towers game?

But this thought was quickly ruled out by Wen Xishu.

Because he was in the Mysterious Tower, in the world of obsession; in other words... the Ark was part of the Three Towers, but the Bunker was not.

Compared to all shelters, the Bunker was a higher-dimensional existence.

The strange blood sea giant beast was chasing the Ark beneath the sea; this terrifying giant beast only revealed a part of its body, which was enough to make people feel the hugeness of its size.

The Ark was approaching the island.

At this very moment, many people inside the Ark had already entered a hallucinatory state.

The soldiers were wearing helmets and were not affected by the blood-colored sea fog, but the old man, the woman, and even a strong man like Russell in the restaurant... all had dull eyes.

Wen Xishu could feel some kind of powerful spiritual power trying to invade him.

The third stage had begun.

The terrifying giant beast began to attack the Ark, and the strange blood fog made countless people fall into a hallucinatory state.

This scene was somewhat terrifying.

The originally brightly lit restaurant was suddenly shrouded in scarlet, and the people around instantly fell into a dull state, motionless.

And you suddenly heard a sound, but found it was soldiers wearing helmet masks, unable to see any facial features, unable to feel any emotion, walking around with guns.

"Sir, you can still move, right? As far as I know, ability users are better at resisting these mists than ordinary people," the soldier leader suddenly spoke.

Wen Xishu nodded:

"I can still hold on for a while."

The soldier leader said:

"Good, these people are all ordinary people, they don't have the ability to resist hallucinations, they have already entered a restricted state; next, I will arrange for soldiers to lead them into the portal... you too."

Wen Xishu had no objection, but he had a question:

"After I land on the island, is there any way to get in touch with those seven people?"

The soldier leader said:

"Yes, but you might not be able to remember. Simply put, after everyone lands on the island, many dilemmas will appear, and one of the dilemmas is that the identity loses its anchor; you might adapt to a new identity, thereby forgetting your original identity."

"For example, you might no longer be our crew member on the island, but a local native on the island, and you yourself will think so too."

"Although you have a micro-communicator with others on you, you might not even be able to remember... what that is."

Wen Xishu was slightly moved:

"So, the reason many people never returned after landing on the island is because they didn't know they had to return?"

The soldier leader nodded:

"Such people account for fifty-four percent, which means that half of the people will not be able to distinguish their true identity..."

"Of course, it is said that on the island, there may be a more comfortable living environment than reality; perhaps some people distinguished it, but were willing to stay on the island."

Wen Xishu understood.

The soldier leader's description right now, why did the Sin Soil Fragments feel so much like the Tower of Desire?

It was like the Tower of Desire without the seven-day return rule; if in the Three Towers, the Tower of Desire no longer had the seven-day mandatory return, I'm afraid countless people would be willing to stay in the Tower of Desire.

It was too similar; the Ark and the Bunker were too similar.

Wen Xishu originally thought that the soldier leader would take them to the deck; the deck of the Ark was very huge, as large as dozens of football fields put together.

He was still thinking, just walking from one end of the Ark to the other would take a long time.

So, would landing on the island also take a lot of time?

But what he didn't expect was—there was actually a portal inside this Ark.

Wen Xishu had to admit that the scale of this Ark was shocking. He also had to admit that there were many mysterious powers operating inside the Ark.

That was not technology.

Wen Xishu's spiritual sense was powerful, and he could clearly feel that there was sequence power flowing.

So the portal was not some scientific application that broke through space barriers, but a portal of sequence power in the true sense.

Under the leadership of the soldier leader, the group soon arrived at the huge portal elevator.

Wen Xishu was shocked again; this scene was seven parts similar to the Bunker.

The elevator would take the eight people, including Wen Xishu, to the energy vortex at the peak. People who entered the energy vortex would directly land on the island.

"The development of qualified people's abilities has reached a point of perfection. This... is worthy of being the sixty-plus floor; this is already the post-apocalyptic era."

Wen Xishu sighed at the time node of this adventure.

The soldiers around had already left at some point.

Russell, the sickly old man, the two lesbian couples, the black muscular man, the child in the wheelchair, the middle-aged man with a soldier's temperament, all had dull expressions.

They were like wax figures, having lost their vitality. Inside the entire elevator, it was quiet.

But they were indeed all still alive.

Wen Xishu's heart once again surged with a strange feeling, an unprecedented strange feeling; was it really a monster invasion? Was it really landing on an island?

This blood-red sea fog... why was it so familiar?

But he didn't have time to think too much, because the elevator began to start. That vortex-shaped special energy mass had already begun to wrap around everyone.

The first landing on the island, began.

……

……

Twilight flowed into the living room like melted honey, and the blinds combed the last few wisps of autumn sun into fine golden threads, obliquely resting on the folds of the fabric sofa.

Wen Xishu opened his eyes, saw the huge crystal chandelier, and felt a kind of quiet and gentle light falling on him.

"You're awake, brother." The teenager's voice came, making Wen Xishu feel a bit uncomfortable, and he immediately pulled himself out of that gentle tranquility.

【World Incongruity 50.】

【Current Synchronization Rate 50】

Two prompts flashed through Wen Xishu's mind instantly. It was really just a flash, so he wasn't sure if it was some kind of electronic UI interface prompt that flashed and disappeared.

"You drank a bit too much last night. Drink some tea to sober up."

On the exquisite glass coffee table, the teenager was pouring tea. The tea fragrance was overflowing, combined with the light and shadow in the room, giving people a feeling of years being quiet and good.

Wen Xishu looked at the teenager and felt more and more strange.

"You..."

【Current Synchronization Rate 53.】

The teenager was wearing silver earrings, lipstick, and was dressed somewhat revealingly, exposing the well-defined muscles of his upper body, looking at Wen Xishu with somewhat admiring eyes.

Wen Xishu immediately felt a chill. This appearance... what was going on? Why would a man dress like this?

A trap?

Damn, did I travel into some gay novel?

【World Incongruity 55】

【Current Synchronization Rate 49】

Those UIs flashed again, seemingly correcting some values. Wen Xishu suddenly felt that everything was reasonable.

Everything should have been normal, and he shouldn't have any... discomfort with this teenager's appearance.

【World Incongruity 53】

【Current Synchronization Rate 51】

The constantly changing values also meant that Wen Xishu's heart was adapting to certain things.

But soon, he began to have memories surge.

"My name is Wen Xishu... I am from the Ark, no... no, I am from the Bunker."

"I am now representing the Ark's crew landing on the island. According to my previous memories, people who land on the island seem to lose certain concepts."

"It looks like I have lost certain concepts, but what are they?"

If a thing doesn't exist at all, how can a person imagine it or even recall it?

Wen Xishu looked at this teenager with exquisite makeup and suddenly had another memory surge; the teenager's name was Xiaomian, and he was his...

【World Incongruity 70】

【Current Synchronization Rate 29】

A huge sense of incongruity, a huge sense of resistance in his heart, made Wen Xishu unwilling to accept this identity arrangement...

Xiaomian was his—partner.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, why are you looking at me with such eyes?"

Although he was a male, Xiaomian's voice was very soft, and his eyes were charming.

Facing such a scene, Wen Xishu instantly woke up, and his whole person was once again wrapped in a sense of disgust; this was not right... he must find a way to return to the Ark, but if he just went back like this... it didn't seem to work either.

Although he still hadn't thought of what concept he had lost. But Wen Xishu was very certain... this must be a very important, very outrageous concept. So much so that although he couldn't remember it, he felt a huge sense of incongruity.

If he didn't find this concept back, I'm afraid that even if he returned to the Ark, he would be all kinds of disgusted and uncomfortable.

(The theme of this island, what kind of concept cognition has been lost, you must have guessed it, rest assured, as a male-frequency book, I definitely won't write plots that disgust male readers, everything is just to show the dungeon settings, and the protagonist will also break through this island as soon as possible.)
