The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 239 - 183: Master of the Yellow Robe!_2

Even if one could force their heart not to fear, not to be terrified, when facing a truly horrifying existence... one naturally feels an oppressive presence that cannot be looked at directly, affecting not just the body but the mind and soul from every aspect.

Inside here.

Only Su Qi wasn't affected; he could indeed see all the weirdness of the city but didn't even hear a sound, as if he had been deliberately bypassed.

Although he wasn't sure why, Su Qi knew... this city was related to that world's destruction, and that voice might also be related to the central area.

"Everyone."

Su Qi had already taken out the horn used for commanding earlier, "It seems that you all are quite panicked and at a loss."

"..."

The crowd turned their gaze toward Su Qi; someone gritted their teeth, "...this is all your doing!"

"If it wasn't for you leading us into this dangerous area!"

"How could we have ended up like this!"

Su Qi shook his head, "I am the one being hunted, and I cannot predict the future. I did not know anything about this place, and it certainly wasn't intentional to lead you here. As you've seen earlier, not even Paradise had noticed this place, let alone an ordinary player like me. Everything I've done was solely for self-defense."

"You blaming me is nothing more than 'victim-blaming,' moral hijacking, and a display of low quality. I believe any person with a conscience would not think this way."

A string of clear, rapid-fire statements left the players... with a stiff expression.

Well done.

It seemed indeed so, but... something felt off about it, as if they had been scolded.

Zero, Luna Fern, Xuanwu, and others looked at Su Qi, who seemed rather sincere. They did not believe in coincidences, but they couldn't find any evidence either. They could only maintain a skeptical stance.

Only Ethan Dawn's mouth twitched.

He would never believe... that 90% of this was probably false!

His intuition told him.

This guy's goal had been this place from the beginning, only he didn't know how he achieved it or why.

Penelope Bloom then spoke in a serious tone, "Regardless, I think we shouldn't dwell on past grievances right now. Our goal is to work together as a team, help each other, and leave this place. If anyone has any thoughts or information, please share."

"....."

The Ghost-faced Magician's eyes were cold as he looked at the distant twist.

"This kind of scene belongs to the Lost Land, and once trapped, we might lose our sense of direction."

Luna Fern, "This place is likely riddled with peculiar rules. Finding a path out of the city from here could be incredibly difficult."

"I suggest we split up..." Zero's expression was cold and solemn, "Everyone should move toward different twisted streets. Even if we cannot find a way out, we can bring back any information we collect."

"What if they don't make it back?"

"That would mean... they've eliminated a route that leads to death for us."

Ruthless.

The faces of the crowd changed slightly.

But they had to admit it was a rational plan, and the other party would be taking part too. No one knew what dangers lay ahead; it was essentially sacrificing lives to trial and error.

They proposed many more plans, none of which held even a ten percent certainty.

"Su Buxian, won't you share your thoughts?"

The one speaking was Penelope Bloom, looking at the silent Su Qi. From the very beginning, many top clubs had begun to collaborate deeply, including Su Buxian, who had been pulled into these strategic discussions.

But his attention didn't seem to be here.

As one person asked, everyone else's gaze turned toward Su Buxian. Although they were reluctant to admit it, the fact was that this guy had been playing them, and his commanding of key points and handling of critical situations had shown extraordinary talent.

"Since you want me to share my thoughts... I'll keep it simple with a couple of comments."

Su Qi paused, "My suggestion is... why don't we ask the locals?"

"Locals?"

The crowd was taken aback.

"He should be arriving soon."

Su Qi's next sentence made everyone frown, seemingly not understanding.

"Wait a minute!" Ethan Dawn caught on to Su Qi's frequency, his eyes wide, "The local you're talking about, it wouldn't happen to be that voice we just heard, would it?"

Su Qi nodded slightly, "Since we're seeking help, it seems the other party is in trouble. Whatever it is, we help it, and it helps us leave, which seems quite reasonable."

"I just don't have a good feeling about this," Ethan Dawn said in a trembling voice, "Isn't this eerie setup exactly like the beginning of a horror movie?"

At this moment, everyone was still hesitant.

Another person then spoke up in a grave tone, "I think… we can…"

The Ghost-faced Magician's eyes were somber, "...Although this is a mysterious entity we've encountered, an event we cannot clearly understand, it is currently our only clue."

"But why do you know it will return soon?"

"The strange whispers, the deeply trapped cage, the sealed ritual, it's calling out for help to the creatures around," Su Qi said slowly as he picked up a photograph, the image on it sending a chill down everyone's spine.

Because as they trembled in fear and stiffness, each person could vaguely sense a figure standing behind them!

Looking closer.

The figure could be seen appearing faint and intermittent, dressed in an odd Yellow Robe!

"And when it appears, the black fog in the sky, the twisted streetscape, everything clearly comes to a halt."

Su Qi looked around, "Look, just like now."

Everyone watched their surroundings with suspicion, the Spiritual Sequencer even raising their head to take a look, indeed… although everything seemed to be fluctuating, the black fog was not spinning, the distortion was merely rippling!

"It's coming!"

At this moment, everyone felt a coldness, no wonder it had been so obvious before.

"What should we do!"

They themselves were becoming somewhat panicked, looking to Su Qi for guidance!

"Obviously, we respond," Su Qi said. In the next instant, everyone… shivered, and that eerie and terrifying voice echoed in their ears again, slowly lingering in everyone's mind, word by word.

As Su Qi watched this scene unfold, he murmured to himself, "Am I left out again?"

He slowly tossed the photograph, dispersing it into dust.

How could this possibly be a shot taken with an ordinary camera, it was merely an illusion captured by his own eyes for a fleeting moment, just now made Concrete.

"But indeed, this might truly be… the Desolate Land."

The City was dangerously extreme, he had been gathering all sorts of information, and everything he saw indicated a situation of almost certain death.

In places marked with a question, there were majestic, complex, and abstruse rituals, with an overwhelming density of information.

Among them, the most direct piece of information was.

[Yellow-robed Master]

He searched all his memories, he had never heard of these four words, but from the illusion caught by his eyes just a moment ago, he knew… the Yellow-robed Master was the one seeking help.

And it seemed to be the key, in a web of twisted, chaotic death lines, linked to that sole path to survival.

At this moment.

Listening to the raspy voice drifting up from the depths, like from the bottom of a deep pool, someone finally made a trembling response!

"Respected… great entity, what assistance do you require?"

The entire City suddenly whipped up into a gale!

The surrounding distortions! Just like a volcanic burst, started to surge towards them rapidly!

But no one budged.

They were all still trapped in that dazed nightmare realm! Not a single person noticed this!

Everyone was enveloped! It seemed they were about to be carried off by the twisted spatial Ripples to some place!

And Su Qi.

He watched silently as all distortions avoided him, and even when he reached out to touch them, the twisting Ripples recoiled like a frightened young lady.

"Isolating me? Schoolyard bullying?"

Instead, Su Qi did not hesitate and ran straight towards the distortion,

"I'm getting on this kindergarten ride no matter what!"

Su Qi grabbed Ethan Dawn and Penelope Bloom, who were about to be taken away! And he also burst out his Spiritual Energy! Manipulating the rules!

Under such interference!

In the next moment!

Reluctantly, amidst the twisting Ripples, he was pulled in!
