Li Zheng roared, halting everyone else, and then shouted loudly, "Chen Lusi?"
"I'm fine."
Chen Lusi replied, noticing at the sa ti that his vision was gradually returning.
... The pure white light in front of him slowly faded away.
The scene shifted from blurry to clear.
And when Chen Lusi finally saw the scene clearly, he was stunned.
Because what ca into view was a magnificent ancient capital.
In the distance, city walls soared into the clouds, magnificent and grand.
Everywhere he looked... there were no modern buildings whatsoever.
"Hiss—"
At the sa ti.
There was a gasp from behind Chen Lusi.
It was the sound of Li Zheng and the others.
He slowly turned around, and then his breathing stopped suddenly.
... On the wide street, vendors were calling out their wares, and people ca and went; on the Qinhuai River, dozens of luxurious pleasure boats were leisurely drifting, and in the teahouses and taverns, scholars, and ordinary people were constantly entering and exiting.
But the most noticeable thing wasn't this scenery that seed like a film set.
It was the vast palace complex in the distance, located in the center, with red walls and yellow tiles, glazed and magnificent.
Furthermore, it wasn't just one palace complex.
But rather... four.
Each had a different style.
So even intertwined, overlapped, and rged with each other.
The originally towering and majestic palace complexes appeared bizarre and eerie due to this strange, seemingly graphical error-like scene.
Seeing this scene.
At that mont.
Chen Lusi inexplicably thought of the famous insert song 'Kugutsuuta' from Ghost in the Shell.
"Where are we...?"
Suddenly.
A mber of the Security Army murmured.
Chen Lusi snapped out of it and looked at the person.
Only then he realized that the military uniforms of the Security Army were gone... replaced by long robes made from cotton, linen, or so kind of coarse fabric, matched with loose pants and cloth shoes.
However, not all Security Army mbers wore linen; for example, Zhou Jian wore a silk robe, with a square toque on his head, looking quite the elegant and romantic scholar figure.
Chen Lusi glanced down at himself.
... For so reason, his clothes hadn't changed.
He was still in the casual pants and black T-shirt he wore when he went out.
And while Chen Lusi was examining his clothes.
Li Zheng had already started looking for Chen Lusi and quickly found him.
When he saw that Chen Lusi was still dressed like a modern person, he was taken aback.
And the other Security Army mbers, following Li Zheng's gaze, also noticed Chen Lusi and were equally stunned.
"What's going on!? Did we ti travel?"
Li Zheng hesitated for a mont, then took a deep breath, slowly walked to Chen Lusi's side, and asked.
"..."
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Lusi looked up and replied, "I don't know either, as for ti travel... it doesn't quite seem like it. What kind of ti travel scenario looks like this?"
He continued speaking while pointing to the palace complex in the distance that appeared to intertwine, overlap, and rge together.
Li Zheng glanced back and fell into silence.
"Similarly, it doesn't seem like we're dead, considering my clothes are still here."
Imdiately after.
Chen Lusi pointed to his own clothes: "I can't possibly still be alive, can I? And who ever heard of changing clothes for the dead?"
Li Zheng still said nothing.
The others didn't speak either.
Clearly.
The current situation left everyone sowhat confused.
Just a mont ago, they were sitting in a car, traveling through what could only be described as a miraculous tunnel, and now they suddenly found themselves... in ancient tis.
No matter how strong your ntal resilience, this kind of situation is likely to leave you bewildered.
After a long ti.
Li Zheng finally continued to ask, "So... is this the Anomaly Realm created by the rumored Activation?"
"It's possible."
Chen Lusi nodded: "That's the most plausible guess, but we still need to verify it further. You should check your condition first, and then we'll explore a bit."
"... Okay."
Li Zheng looked at Chen Lusi, whose expression hadn't changed since his initial brief shock, with a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but ask, "But... Chen Lusi, don't you find this strange? Aren't you scared?"
Just a mont ago, he was directly stunned by the scene in front of him, his mind blank.
If not for having experienced many strange things with Xia Yue before, developing a good level of psychological resilience.
If he didn't rember he was the team leader.
If he didn't rember that Chen Lusi was still around.
He guessed he would have been shouting and yelling just like everyone else...
And among so many people, the youngest, Chen Lusi, was the calst.
Seeing his expressionless face.
Even Li Zheng beca calm.
"It's okay."
Chen Lusi shook his head upon hearing this: "At least we can still see here, and it's not pitch black, you can't see your own hand... No matter how strange, being able to see and observe is better than groping in the dark to figure things out."
Li Zheng was taken aback: "You can't see your own hand?"
"I once experienced an Anomaly Realm where it deprived you of vision, like a ghost blocking your sight, you couldn't see anything."
"How did you get out? Did Wu You and the others help?"
"No... it's a long story. You should check your own condition first."
Chen Lusi thought about it but did not explain further, instead urging them to check their own conditions.
The Security Army mbers looked at Chen Lusi with strange expressions.
It had to be said.
Chen Lusi's words had a very calming effect.
... If he could escape from a place pitch black.
No wonder he's the consultant.
And thanks to Chen Lusi.
They quickly cald down and began to check their own conditions.
