Chapter 2170: Chapter 2165: Confinement (39)

Has Emily left? Such a departure.

Rachel not seeing her doesn’t prove anything, after all, there’s a high chance they’re at different dimensions.

But if she were in the same place, it’s hard to imagine anyone would willingly walk away from such an eccentric character.

So the conversation with Tina along the way was almost like acknowledging the existence of a listener.

As for the coin toss game at this moment, one of its greatest significances is to test whether the listener is still there.

How did the Old Hunter manage to lead himself and Tina unknowingly into the Inner World?

It may seem similar to the situation at the Art Prison, but observing closely, that place has a special reason—it hosts the Inverted Tree.

Like various disaster stories, why does this "dying" town display such anomalies? There seems to be a source of everything there to some extent.

A mad artist accidentally touched something incredible, or thought they did.

And for that, they were willing to undertake some outrageous actions, using the human body as a bed to hope to break barriers and complete "pollination."

The difference between the two worlds is merely between success and failure.

Even the residents therein are affected differently.

The Inner World is already devastated, like a toilet playing a disastrous explosion.

Whereas the real world, due to Transcendent’s prohibition, hasn’t gotten dirty, but adverse mental impacts have been transmitted from the anchor point.

The most direct result is that at the start of the task, I already had a shape akin to the sexy nurse in a short film.

For Fu Qian, this currently feels like the most plausible hypothesis regarding both worlds.

And from this starting point, the Art Prison as the origin has uniquely expressed itself, which can be understood.

In contrast, the Old Hunter’s flexible operation is another matter.

The specific method may be hard to imagine, but if it truly involves struggling through the Inner World, mastering such skills isn’t a strange thing.

Fu Qian here is curious about the specific effect that’s too natural.

Don’t forget at the Art Prison, I was the one who stepped in without any reference object.

This time, the reason for taking Tina essentially serves the purpose of strengthening possible traps.

The result is still seamlessly entering with unchanged coordinates, demeanor, and attire.

Such developments almost make others doubt whether traps exist at all.

And although follow-up successfully proved "Emily" could be impersonated, another ensuing problem is whether the prior "anchor point" theory is still valid?

Since the two worlds operate independently to some extent, what’s the probability that Tina from the Inner World just happened to arrive here?

And the most deadly problem, earlier speculation suggested due to special task physique, I don’t need an anchor point to enter the Inner World, wouldn’t Emily’s ambush mean someone appears out of thin air?

This would negate the need for guessing and probing, could simply confirm a problem and proceed with extreme pressure, torture, etc.?

Just like what might be done to the real Emily.

In summary, the discussion about "traps" hasn’t ended yet.

On one hand, the other party is unlikely to walk away easily, on the other hand, they obviously exist on a deeper level, implying previous presentations were merely teasing.

I appear to be pushing step by step, but actually, I’ve always been guided.

And in such a situation, Rachel becomes an interesting point.

"If it’s positive, you need to go inside and watch."

Fu Qian didn’t rush to open his palm but maliciously looked at Rachel, delivering neural stimulus consequences.

"But don’t worry, I’ll take you inside."

...

What would happen if Rachel was taken inside again?

Several possibilities.

One is just like Tina earlier, where nothing happened.

This is actually the most tricky situation because it represents multiple possibilities, like the earlier wisdom and courage, which were merely Void enemy-seeking, and that was the real Emily.

Another scenario, perhaps the Old Hunter is indeed at a higher level and decisively canceled the trap, causing such a simple misleading.

Or perhaps the anchor point theory was entirely wrong, and it’s casual for Old Hunter who to bring in, making any subsequent confusion for me even harder to discern.

In any case, explanations will complicate matters.

As for the second possibility, halfway through Rachel disappears, proving previous guesses correct, the trap revealed, and truth laid bare.

The third possibility is just walking naturally inside and finding the absent person in charge sitting there.

These last two situations completely represent Emily’s performance nullified, failed plans, the best handling is simply killing me.

However, the ability to kill consists of two parts, strength and the will to govern that power.

The Old Hunter is likely able to crush me directly, but Fu Qian doubts his will to make such a decision.

This is the conclusion after inching closer step by step.

So when the coin is tossed and if the Old Hunter could observe across dimensions, he’s likely hoping Rachel wins—lost.

In a general sense, this should be positive.

Slowly opening his hand, with two parties silent, Fu Qian unveiled the final answer.

The boundary of the opponent’s ability seemed probed—indeed unable to observe the real world, or able to observe but powerless to affect.

"Very good."

Fu Qian was satisfied with this result, although neither participant felt the same.

"Stopp messing around, I can concede."

The winner Tina almost immediately expressed disagreement, strongly demanded the addition of a surrender option.

"Alright."

The request was surprisingly agreed upon instantly.

Ding—

Fu Qian flicked the coin to Rachel, who was already moving ahead.

"Your lucky coin, don’t lose it."

...

"Straight to my house?"

Rachel ended up not catching it, scrambling to pick it up, and hurriedly caught up.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, her question sounded a bit odd.

"Alright."

Fu Qian agreed naturally, keeping his gaze outside.

So it turns out the trap mode is indeed unique?

The characters entering the real world are forcibly located to the current position regardless of their original Inner World location?

Otherwise, it wouldn’t explain why my sudden appearance didn’t trigger enough alert.

Thus, Inner World existence format is obviously more surreal, and the level of surrealism continues to rise.

"Proceed ahead, first go to the prison."

The car moved quickly in silence, and at one moment Fu Qian suddenly turned to look at Rachel’s somewhat pitiable profile, hinting at a change in route.

"I forgot something."
