The Safest Place

Walking through the darkness, Li Changsheng remained expressionless.

As an Assassin, darkness is his best cover. In this dark world, he is more at ease with himself than with unnecessary disguises on his face.

Ever since he inexplicably entered this dark world, he has maintained this stealthy state.

So far, he has quietly traversed three areas and learned some of the most basic information about the place.

The place he was in appeared to be a Ruined and rather large restaurant, as could be seen from the kitchen and dining areas he had passed through.

In this dark place, there exist in large numbers a kind of Monster that seems to be transformed from humans. This Monster seems to be hungry at all times and will devour any living thing in front of it under the influence of its instinctive desires.

Even... cannibalism.

After they can no longer find food in the restaurant, they will spontaneously begin to devour each other.

If it's like raising poisonous insects, where new and more powerful Monster are created through the process of devouring, then it's not entirely incomprehensible.

However, according to Li Changsheng's observations in the shadows, the Monster that devoured their own kind not only did not become stronger, but instead became even weaker, and were soon eaten by other Monster.

... The meaning of "completely" is unclear.

Furthermore, these Monsters are extremely weak individually; even the staggering Zombie are stronger than Monster. Apart from their numerical advantage, they have no redeeming qualities and can be considered utter Failed Product.

However, the number of these Monster is almost infinite.

Li Changsheng had observed carefully that although these Monsters were constantly killing each other, their numbers showed no sign of decreasing.

Not only is this strange place inexplicable, but the Monster that exist there are equally inexplicable.

In addition, there is another key piece of information.

--In the unfathomable darkness above their heads, there seemed to be some unseen, colossal creature.

Li Changsheng tried to look up at the sky, but a second later, he quickly lowered his head and never dared to look up again.

He saw nothing, but he could clearly sense the danger coming from above. If he dared to continue looking, an extremely miserable end awaited him.

Besides these, if he dared to expose himself to the light, the sense of danger coming from above would still arrive as expected, and the powerful oppressive feeling as if he were standing at the bottom of an Abyss would almost suffocate him.

[Don't look up], [Stay in the dark], these are the essential guidelines for ensuring his safety here.

In addition, learning to conceal oneself in the dark so as not to be found by those Monster is also very important.

Although the individual strength of those Monster is quite weak, their numbers are endless. To fight against the infinite with the finite is a rather foolish thing to do.

If he can Perfect accomplish these three things, then this place will no longer be dangerous. Unfortunately, he still hasn't found a way to leave.

At the same time, he forgot one thing: not everyone can become invisible like him.

For example, the Fireworks of Romance, now hiding like an ostrich in an overturned water vat... and the familiar Earthly Homeland beneath the same vat.

The moment everyone was pulled into this dark world happened to be right at the end of lunchtime.

The physical and mental exhaustion leading to physical problems, the splitting headaches caused by a rapid decline in Sanity... these are all problems that plague them.

Given his extremely poor physical condition, let alone dealing with Anomaly, even escaping was practically a pipe dream.

To fall into a completely unfamiliar and dangerous place under such circumstances is truly the worst possible outcome.

And the two, "Fireworks of Romance and Romance" and "Earthly Homeland," are just such unfortunate souls.

However, the two of them were quite lucky. After entering this dark world, they were close to each other and could look out for one another, which allowed them to barely get through the chaotic beginning.

However, given their current condition, it's clear they can't stay in one place for long before they recover. Finding a safe place as soon as possible to fully recover is the most important thing.

In such a bizarre place teeming with Monster, finding a safe and suitable place to rest is no easy task.

They were already in poor condition, and the number of those Monster was almost endless; they could be worn down one by one and killed.

Just when they Earthly Homeland somewhat pessimistic, thinking they had completely reached a dead end, he grabbed her hand and ran into a room. He then pulled her directly under a large Fireworks of Romance to hide.

Surprisingly, this seemingly desperate act of Fireworks of Romance actually provided them with a safe place to rest.

"See? I didn't lie to you, did I? It's very safe here."

With his eyes half-closed and one hand covering his forehead, he spoke with a touch of self-satisfaction about the familiar Fireworks of Romance before Earthly Homeland.

"Those Monster are simple-minded and clumsy; they would never suspect we're hiding in such a safe place!!"

Fireworks of Romance exuded an air of confidence.

"... So where in this kind of place is safe?"

Although she was having a terrible headache, she still couldn't help but complain about Earthly Homeland.

"This is just a big vat turned upside down on the ground. How are we any different from ostriches burying their heads in the sand?"

"Difference? The difference is huge!!"

Holding up a finger, Fireworks of Romance wore a serious expression.

"I'm asking you, do you know where we are right now?"

"Underneath a large vat."

The Earthly Homeland is very Honest.

"Do you know what the situation is like outside the water tank? Do you know exactly where we are?"

Fireworks of Romance atmosphere, his expression remained serious.

"... have no idea."

"Look, even we ourselves don't know where we're hiding, so how could those Monster possibly know we're hiding here?"

Fireworks of Romance had a self-righteous look on his face.

"So now, I'm saying this is the safest place. Do you still have any objections?"

Earthly Homeland: "???"
