Chapter 56 Departure
So next, Su Zixu was responsible for holding off the two disguised ghosts, while Lizzie and the other three opened the escape pod, and then Tian Tian was responsible for meeting up with Su Zixu.
Before leaving, Lizzie described the location of the escape pod to Su Zixu in detail.
The escape pod is right opposite a white door. There's only that one white door on this floor, so it's easy to spot. Then walk to the end and turn left.
Su Zixu silently made a mental note of it, and then the four of them left.
Although Su Zixu volunteered for the mission, he was still somewhat apprehensive about facing two ghosts alone.
"Let's go too," Su Zixu said, turning to the two ghosts.
The two ghosts did not answer, but silently stood up and looked at Su Zixu with their lifeless eyes.
Su Zixu pretended not to have noticed anything and calmly pushed open the door and went out.
Along the way, the two ghosts followed him silently. Su Zixu walked forward, observing as he went.
After walking through two similar loops, Su Zixu gradually became familiar with this maze-like path.
He tried to find a detail in the third lap that could break through the wall-like limitation, but he didn't find it even by the fifth lap, let alone the third.
"It seems that as long as they're with me, I'll never be able to get out."
Since no breakthrough can be found, there must be some reason why the ghost is following us.
"Since it's a ghost disguised as a prisoner, could it be because of my prison guard uniform?" Su Zixu thought to himself, and suddenly stopped and began to take off his clothes on the spot.
The two ghosts just stared at him silently, without reacting.
"It seems that's not the case." Su Zixu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and he silently put his clothes back on.
The man and the two ghosts continued forward, but Su Zixu could feel that the creepy feeling behind him was becoming more pronounced, and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.
My body felt increasingly cold, and my joints became stiff.
He mustered his courage and glanced back slightly. The ghost disguised as him had its head down, as if it were looking at something.
Following the gaze, it seemed to be looking at his fingers.
"Were you attracted by the ring?" Su Zixu's eyes slowly widened.
Having made a guess, he turned around and walked backwards.
Then, he used his mouth to remove the ring and held it in his hand, slowly moving it back and forth a few times.
He discovered that the eyes of the two disguised ghosts were also following the movement of the ring.
At this moment, the faces of the two disguised ghosts were also gradually changing. Su Zixu was close by, and the sight of these two constantly twisting and changing faces gave him goosebumps.
"Sigh, Lawson said he wanted us to take his family home, but it seems we're destined not to be able to," Su Zixu murmured in a very low voice.
Then, with a forceful push, he threw the two rings behind the ghost.
The disguised ghost suddenly turned around and chased after them. Su Zixu's gaze froze when he saw that the back of one of the ghosts' heads was almost completely missing.
Then, the scene before my eyes momentarily became disorienting and different from before.
"call--"
Su Zixu let out a deep breath, it seemed he had made it out. He followed the route Li Qi had given him, and soon he met Tian Tian, who had come to meet him, at a corner.
"You're amazing! You actually managed to get rid of those two ghosts." Tian Tian was shocked to see that Su Zixu was still alive, and then overjoyed.
Tian Tian silently considered Su Zixu and Liu Runyu in her heart, and an idea began to form in her mind.
After all, Lao Zeng died in this dream, and the organization needs to replenish its ranks with fresh blood.
"Where are the two of them?" Su Zixu asked, interrupting Tian Tian's thoughts.
"She's already gone. I was just about to kill her, but her gun was faster."
Tian Tian sighed, and then her eyes reddened.
"Liu Runyu also went out. I saw him off first, so he didn't see us fighting."
"That's good." Su Zixu said, raising his hand to glance at his watch. There were still eight minutes until midnight.
"Hurry up, we should go too." Tian Tian grabbed Su Zixu's arm and walked inside.
The escape pods had been opened, and Su Zixu walked straight in, finding a total of ten compartments.
But in each of the eight positions floated a small, shimmering blue sphere, its surface covered in pearly shimmer, making it quite beautiful.
"Hurry up and go inside, this place will cease to exist in three minutes."
Once inside, touch the small ball with your hand to exit.
Oh, right, it's after you eject from the escape pod.
Tian Tian led Su Zixu to an escape pod and urged him on.
"What will happen if we touch it too early?"
"Nothing will happen, the dream just won't end," Tian Tian said, before entering the escape pod next to her.
"Thank you."
Because the hatch was already closed, Tian Tian couldn't quite hear what Su Zixu was saying, but she understood his meaning from his lip movements.
Tian Tian waved to Su Zixu and left first.
Su Zixu followed Tian Tian and pressed the start button. Then, after a feeling of weightlessness, he saw a vast universe.
Immediately afterwards, Su Zixu saw patches of firelight appear inside the space station, like the sun, but they quickly went out.
He looked down at the small blue ball, his fingers slowly approaching it.
The moment he touched the ball, he suddenly plummeted downwards and lost consciousness.
