Chapter 131: Splitting Up (Four Updates Today—Please Vote for the First!)
As the space around him turned unreal and weightless, the real world collapsed and dissolved.
Everything was rearranged. Han Su seemed to pass through layer upon layer of eerie space. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back on the familiar school bus. The dilapidated, sinister Ancient Castle before him was slowly opening its gates.
He glanced around but saw no sign of Wei Lan, confirming that he had returned to the Ancient Castle alone.
It seemed that even after being contaminated by the Mechanical Fragment, Wei Lan had only remembered the time she was kidnapped.
He silently closed his eyes and sorted through the information.
So, could he now be certain that this Mechanical Fragment was connected to the kidnapping?
The Mechanical Fragment was accumulating power. Whenever it built up enough, he would be kidnapped and sent back to the past. And the reason the flashes were coming more and more frequently was that the fragment was accumulating power faster and faster?
Then, if the Mechanical Fragment could be made to accumulate power faster, could he make it accumulate more slowly, too?
It was an important question, but for now, Han Su could only put it aside.

Unlike the others, her body wasn't solid.
