Chapter 97: Save?

Chapter 97: Save?

“Doctor,” Fatty’s throat moved, and he asked anxiously, “Aren’t we going?” For him, Chen Yao’s disappearance meant that the mission was over. The time they had inside the door was limited.

If they didn’t leave through the door within the time limit and return to their world, they would stay inside the door forever.

He had once discussed this topic with Jiang Cheng. What would happen if they were forced to stay behind?

Jiang Cheng wore headphones back then. He watched something sneakily on his computer. He looked so animated. Therefore, he didn’t pay Fatty much attention. “You’d be killed by an unknown force...” That was what Jiang Cheng said. The reason he provided was that since the past couldn’t be changed, the realm travellers that intruded into the world would be wiped out without a trace. That was the easiest method to fix everything.

Fatty shivered. He licked his lips. “Then, in what way would we be killed?”

“Not sure.” Jiang Cheng answered, “Maybe you’d die as you walk around and turn into dust. Of course, if you’re lucky, your corpse might remain.” He added, “But not a full corpse, though.”

“Are you talking about... Man Li?” Fatty remembered that when they left their first nightmare realm, they saw an article about Man Li in the newspaper. The paper said his dead body was not complete.

“Alright.” Jiang Cheng removed his headphones and told Fatty, “Don’t disturb me. I’m studying.”

Fatty stood up helplessly. As he left, he asked, “Doctor, are you watching videos on psychiatric treatments?”

“You can say that.” Jiang Cheng’s eyes glowed. “But, mainly, I’m studying the moves.”

“Moves?” Fatty turned around with confusion.

Jiang Cheng straightened up and became serious. “After all, you know that I’m the star. I need to use these powerful moves to nurture the empty hearts of those sisters!”

Fatty was startled. Then, he ran towards Jiang Cheng. “Doctor, I also wish to learn. After all, it’s my childhood dream to become a good psychiatrist...”

How could that be?

Her mind was blank. How could he be in the door?

What about the other Zhen Jianren behind her?

Suddenly, pain erupted in her ankle. Zhen Jianren, in the door, held a cane like a lance. The lance pierced through Xu Wen’s ankle. He was so agile that it surprised even the professional Xu Wen. Blood squirted. One drop entered Xu Wen’s gaze.

After she collapsed to the ground, Xu Wen crawled like crazy. Zhen Jianren followed her slowly with his back turned. It was like a horror movie.

The wrist that held the cane turned and spun. The robotic action made no sound.

The other ankle was punctured. The bone crunch was audible.

“Ah! Ah...” The scream echoed. Xu Wen was a professional killer, so the pain must be unimaginable to make her scream. Through the mirror, she saw Fatty and Jiang Cheng as well as the other door. At that moment, she knew she had chosen the wrong path.

“Save me!” Xu Wen pleaded. Her handsome face was coloured with despair. She crawled towards the mirror. Her words were unclear due to the blood in her mouth, “I beg you... Save me...”

The mirror separated two worlds. The two could see what was happening inside the mirror, but they couldn’t hear anything.

“Doctor!” Fatty gasped, “She... in the mirror...”

Someone pushed him on his shoulder.

“You should leave.” Jiang Cheng offered, “I’ll go save her.”
