Chapter 199 - 183: Time Reversal
Chapter 199: Chapter 183: Time ReversalShe took a step back, pressing herself tightly against the rear wall of the elevator.
But the box still touched her, leaning against her arm.
This strange "distortion" seemed to display heightened aggression towards her, writhing in her direction as soon as it entered.
That cold sensation raced up her arm and pierced her crown, a strong sense of panic exploding from within her depths.
Another distortion!
There could be 3 or perhaps 4 distortions, crowding in the cramped elevator.
With this box entering, the space was almost completely filled.
Feng Ling continued to focus her mind and remain calm, holding her breath, closing her eyes, and beginning to play dead.
"I didn’t see it, I didn’t see anything, I saw nothing at all."
But for some reason, the elevator stopped where it was, not continuing downward. The security guard also stood inside, dumbfounded, not pressing any buttons randomly.
As if gaze after gaze was being cast upon her.
These "distortions" were all paying attention to her.
"This can’t be happening, what’s going on?" Feng Ling’s heartbeat quickened dramatically.
seconds later, the box started to move restlessly.
"Whoosh"!
A wet thing slowly emerged from the metal box, staring at her, fixating on her.
A sense of crisis escalated to its limit!
This time, there was no such luck.
Feng Ling fought to suppress her panic; she felt like crying. At her age, she should have been attending college, experiencing a sweet romance, but now she had to endure this horrifying pressure.
She needed to save the world!
She had to travel to parallel worlds!
She had to succeed!
But... was there really no way out?
Biting her lip and steeling herself, she glanced over and saw a completely drenched "person" crawling out of the box.
It was a white man with a bloated, soaked face as if he had been immersed in formaldehyde for decades, his body emitting a putrid medicinal smell.
In the instant that this soaked person crawled out!
The red-clothed woman started
"Rune Flying Sword, can it shatter it?"
Who knows.
Or perhaps, the "Holy Water Rune·Super," leveraging the power of God, also a decent offensive Strange Object.
Above "Holy Water Rune·Super" is the "Holy Water Rune·Extreme," even more powerful and more costly.
But Wang Hao didn’t want to pay too high a price because if he couldn’t defeat the Box Monster, his character would perish, losing the Strange Objects in that scene...
One try, losing a "Rune Flying Sword," or using a "Holy Water Rune·Super," was a price too painful to bear.
"Forget it, reviving once only costs a hundred points, not too expensive."
"A Three Stars difficulty scenario surely won’t be like ’Paradise II,’ where you die hundreds of times."
First, find more information, then consider what to do.
...
...
In the next moment, Feng Ling, still resisting the red flames, saw a blur and found herself resurrected, standing in the elevator lobby.
Time... had reversed!
She had actually come back to life!
The terrifying events that had just unfolded seemed now like an ephemeral dream.
"I... I’m not dead!"
"Is this a real resurrection, or... an illusion?"
And what about those red flames?
However, before having time to contemplate too much, a familiar electronic tone sounded in the elevator, "Ding-dong! Basement one, arriving!"
The elevator "clacked," coming to a stop.
Feng Ling took a deep breath.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and in walked a woman in heels dressed in red.
The same scenario as the first Reincarnation unfolded. She, like someone with epilepsy, twitched sporadically in the elevator, frantically rummaging through her purse for a bottle of medicine, and then swallowing with a "gurgle."
Feng Ling inhaled sharply—what a disaster.
Just like the scene that had just transpired!
"If I make the same choice, will it lead to the same outcome?"
"What does it mean? Why was I resurrected?"
"Could it be that ’it’ is toying with me?"
Knowing that this woman was not highly dangerous, Feng Ling didn’t panic like before, but instead, let her mind wander.
She was about to press the elevator button, only to find her body completely beyond her control!
"What is this?!"
It was as though a tremendously powerful will had taken over her body!
This will was so formidable and vast, boundless as the starry cosmos itself, with no end in sight.
In comparison, she was but a tiny worm nestled on a planet, quivering.
"So there’s a price for resurrection... Is this the price? I’m no longer myself..."
Because her adversary was too strong, and she was too weak, Feng Ling panicked for a while, but without hope, she resigned herself to her fate.
After all, things had come to this.
Unable to move a muscle, she might as well consider herself... already dead.
...
Wang Hao, patiently and cautiously, pondered the rules stuck to the piece of paper.
The first half wasn’t much to look at, the instructions there were clear and he’d already experienced them.
Wang Hao focused on the latter half.
