Chapter 108 Star Chasing Journey (28)
She also didn't understand why she had such clear self-awareness and could sense these inconsistencies.
Perhaps her self-will was very strong.
Maybe she was a particularly flexible particle that, the moment the lid was opened, scurried into another box.
Or perhaps it was all a disguise of the Weird Domain, but her resilience was high, so she Awakened.
In short, she knew these boxes existed, and she had switched between them unknowingly before.
It was just that there were too many variables in each box, from whether the whole group was wiped out to whether the souvenir was a thermos or a hat, so the evolution in each box was quite different.
“So what are we waiting for now?” the Doll Tree asked.
“We’re waiting for an opportunity. Although we can’t leave this box world, we can go to other boxes, like worms in a rotten apple.”
“Let’s go to a box where everyone is still alive, and then protect everyone to survive.” Liu Sheng saw the Doll Tree still looked confused and smiled, patting her head.
“Look!” Liu Sheng suddenly pointed to the sky.
At this moment, the passage finally opened, and another white light fell.
Liu Sheng took out the seven profound token and began to comprehend it while the passage had not yet closed.
This time, she did not activate the cracked version of the seven profound token’s function, but simply used it to sense and Transmigrate through the passage.
This kind of sensing was already second nature to Liu Sheng; she quickly explored the edge of the passage above the firmament, and then her Soul entered it.
Instantly, her Soul was swallowed by the endless twisted kaleidoscope of lights within.
And the Doll Tree, who was tightly clutching her hand, perhaps because it originally came from this passage and its essence was similar to the particle form of weird objects, was actually pulled in by Liu Sheng’s Soul.
“Ahhh, I knew I shouldn’t have made a Soul contract with her!” The Doll Tree’s body suddenly rose, being sucked into the narrow tunnel, feeling a bit regretful about its unilateral, secret decision.
...
Liu Sheng’s Soul floated in the passage, with a chaotic, colorful scene before her eyes, as if many scenes and characters had been cut into fragments by an invisible pair of scissors, and then irresponsibly pasted together haphazardly.
Upon closer inspection, Liu Sheng instantly absorbed too much information, and her sanity was on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, the Doll Tree floated beside Liu Sheng, like a thin green caterpillar squeezed by information, holding her hand tightly.
As for Liu Sheng herself, she wasn't sure what form she was in anymore.
“Sister, Sister, how do we find it?”
“I have my anchor point.” Liu Sheng felt it with her heart.
“That Sister?” The Doll Tree was referring to Wen Weilan.
“Yes, to me, she is the only constant existence in these boxes.”
Liu Sheng explained, then her eyes suddenly lit up, “Go here, I feel that there are many iron pots around her, one, two, three… seven.”
...
Squeezing out of the passage that was slowly closing, leaving only a sliver of an opening, Liu Sheng’s Soul was pulled and blurred.
Then her Soul was forcefully pulled into her own body.
When Liu Sheng’s Soul and her own consciousness merged and organized, she slowly opened her eyes.
She took out the souvenir umbrella from her Storage Pouch to confirm, and indeed, she was in another box.
At this time, there were still six hours until midnight.
They were in the process of dealing with a huge stone statue head that had just been summoned and its summoners.
Fortunately, this stone statue head was not difficult to defeat; Liu Sheng arrived just as the battle was winding down.
Chen Shanyuan, wearing an iron pot, looked absurdly comical, but he didn't care, joyfully containing the stone statue weird object: “Great, this is indeed a Star Chasing Holy Land! We’ve already collected five weird objects on this trip; it’s totally worth it.”
Indeed, after putting on this iron pot, their perception of danger became much clearer, and they found a direction in the black mist.
If they encountered a weird object of average strength, they could even bully it to earn some money.
Lu Junan even joked, “Does anyone still remember this is an extremely dangerous Weird Domain? I don’t think it’s difficult at all; on the contrary, it’s a treasure trove for making money.”
He saw Old Wang and Song Ru cast murderous glances at him and realized he had misspoken, quickly shutting his mouth.
Yes, now all seven of them, plus Old Wang and the other new group members, were alive and well.
But only Liu Sheng and Wen Weilan knew that this was a rare stroke of luck among the evolutions of countless boxes.
It was also because countless deaths paved the way that they could reach this point.
Especially with Wen Weilan, because she could perceive the experiences of her other selves in other boxes, she could timely warn everyone if a similar situation arose.
“Liu Weiwei, your Yugui ability is truly powerful; you can even foresee so many dangers.” Even Chen Shanyuan was genuinely impressed, no longer rejecting her as he did at first, but instead showing great reverence.
Since they entered the black mist, Wen Weilan had warned them countless times. Since they hadn’t encountered any danger so far, it proved that Wen Weilan’s warnings were indeed true.
She wondered what her ability was that it could be so Heaven-Defying.
Wen Weilan just smiled faintly when she heard this, saying nothing.
Liu Sheng also didn’t expect that the rule she gave Wen Weilan for self-preservation would have such a miraculous effect in this situation.
Wen Weilan seemed to sense Liu Sheng’s difference and cast a concerned glance.
Liu Sheng grinned back with a slight smile, indicating she was fine.
This plan indeed worked, but there was something a bit strange.
Liu Sheng looked at the two Doll Trees beside her, identical in appearance. One had a leaf growing on the tree trunk on its head, while the other had a bare tree trunk on its head; this one should be the one that came with her.
They both looked at each other with blank expressions, and Liu Sheng also looked at them with a blank expression.
Since they were here, they might as well make the best of it. Having an extra Doll Tree shouldn't be a bad thing, right?
Perhaps the development in this box was too perfect; Liu Sheng constantly felt new Souls joining, memories from different box worlds merging into her mind, and these varied ways of dying were truly eye-opening.
“What, this world was wiped out by a giant ape that fell from the sky?” Liu Sheng was silently shocked.
【Yes, we all couldn’t beat that ape; its head reached the sky.】
【No, how on earth did they summon such an outrageous thing?】
【We don’t know either; it seemed like a very beautiful girl summoned it.】
Then another “Liu Sheng” descended.
“This time, everyone died one by one, with similar death poses, all holding an embroidered shoe in their hands, but the killer was never found until the very end, it’s so frustrating…” Liu Sheng received the memory and silently thought.
【It’s frustrating! I hate reading detective stories where the page revealing the killer is torn out.】
【How am I supposed to sleep? Is it a weird object? It must be an external weird object, right?】
【No, it should be someone from the team who transformed into an extremely well-hidden weird object.】
【Hiss, terrifying, terrifying.】
Then, when she read a memory, she was startled and secretly glanced at Song Ru several times.
“Terrifying, she killed everyone by herself. What kind of power is that? It seems that if she becomes a Yugui, her future is limitless.”
【She said she successfully challenged herself and killed her weak self!】
【Oh, she mentioned it on the car before, do you remember?】
【Truly powerful, I see her probing the edge of transformation into a weird object.】
Since there was such a possibility, she still had to keep a close eye on her.
Oh, this brings us to a small problem after so many “Liu Shengs” descended.
That is, everyone liked to make noise in their heads, one sentence after another, like a tea party.
However, Liu Sheng felt that her mind was quite adapted to this multi-core operation mode, and her mental state was quite beautiful.
The biggest problem was that the Doll Trees around her were too numerous to count.
Dense, identical little heads, neatly crowded around her, made Liu Sheng feel like she couldn’t breathe.
If it weren’t for “One Leaf Blinds the Eye,” it would probably scare Chen Shanyuan and the others to death.
Because of this, she had to stay at the very end of the team, otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough space for so many Doll Trees.
Now, she was like a kindergarten teacher taking hundreds of children on an outing.
Not only were the “Liu Shengs” in her head chatting and making noise, but there were also the chirping and wailing of children in her ears.
“Can you guys Fusion?” Liu Sheng felt a headache coming on, “You’re trees, right? You can totally graft? Parasitize?”
Like herself, she had merged well with herself, so why couldn’t they?
The Doll Trees all made long faces and reluctantly agreed to try.
