10 Hours had passed inside the formation, Yan Xu had cleared up the monsters to several countless ferocious beasts without a hitch.
He paused for a moment because he felt something was off. An entity that he had always met and killed many times, with the same appearance without the slightest difference.
"For ten hours, how many thousand times have I met this Duan Yunfei!?"
Yan Xu scratched his head as if feeling dizzy while doing a task in front of a computer screen repeatedly. Some people may feel nauseous because the things they see will always be the same and repeated thousands of times, as well as felt by him.
Every corner there would definitely be Duan Yunfei, making the girl look like she was constantly reincarnating with the same form and waiting to be killed by his hands. He almost felt crazy if it was true, but did not cover the possibility that it was.
Yan Xu took out a jade token and twisted it in the palm. A formation array appeared and formed a post surrounded by energy swords with maximum concentration. The formation would attack the unknown creatures that were within its range automatically.
He had laid down the formation at several points already passed, all this in order to ensure safety and thoughtless killing. After being successfully installed, Yan Xu again continued his journey forward with a soul pursuit technique.
According to Yan Xu, in a moment he would arrive at the other end of the dimension and this examination would be completed later. It only took one more walk before he could rest peacefully while waiting for the night to arrive.
...
Arriving at the end of the dimension, Yan Xu saw no signs of the presence of other creatures, other than those he was familiar with.
Yan Xu frowned until there were some black lines while glaring at a girl in front of him.
"Duan Yunfei ... again!?"
This time, Duan Yunfei who was already in the form of a perfect human without additions like tails or wings like the beginning of their meeting was gone. Now, in front of him was only an ordinary-looking girl, Duan Yunfei.
When their eyes met each other, Duan Yunfei immediately averted his gaze from not daring to look at Yan Xu directly. To be exact, he seemed to be very unwilling to get involved with the man in the slightest.
Yan Xu whose curiosity had already been pushed to the edge of the cliff, used a soul-chasing technique and directly stood in front of Duan Yunfei.
"Hey!"
Duan Yunfei immediately turned around and wanted to run, yet his fragile-looking slender hand had been captured by a savage man who was none other than Yan Xu.
"Take me off! We've never met, why are you so rude to strangers anyway!?"
Duan Yunfei thrashed around like a child who had already been caught for stealing fruit in the neighboring fields. Seeing that, Yan Xu wanted to laugh yet he could not because his accumulated mental fatigue had pushed his facial muscles flat and somewhat stiff.
"Can we talk for a second?" yan Xu said in persuasion but his voice sounded like he was giving an order.
"No way!" reject Duan Yunfei who was still struggling to escape.
Yan Xu did not care about his refusal and sat down on the ground while letting Duan Yunfei struggle in vain.
Seeing Yan Xu not intending at all to let go, made Duan Yunfei give up and reluctantly follow him sitting down while grim-faced. The gaze of his blue eyes that were as sharp as a sword, seemed to have slashed at Yan Xu by a thousand times with killing intent.
In the face of Yan Xu, that little killing intent was nothing if he wanted to make a comparison to what he had stored through the journey of the life of the owner of his original body and his life on Earth. Just as an elephant sees street dust that he cannot see at all.
Yan Xu took out a rectangular table from his dimension storage pouch and placed it in front of them. Then, he took out a few snacks as well as drinks.
Looking at the food and drinks, made Duan Yunfei look very quiet and his eyes were always stealing glances at the food on the table.
"Then, without shame I'll enjoy it."
Gaining approval, Duan Yunfei unhesitatingly ate everything he took. He ate the ones there without paying attention to Yan Xu as the provider. Next to him, Yan Xu did not care and still held the girl's hand so that she would not run away.
Duan Yunfei's expression had somewhat loosened from before, making Yan Xu see an opportunity to speak now.
"It looks like you really enjoyed everything at the table."
Duan Yunfei did not reply and just continued to chew the food as if he had not eaten for many years.
Yan Xu, who had always thought of the slightest bit of awkwardness around him, began to smell the smell of mystery that he had to ask. Ignoring the girl's indifferent behavior, Yan Xu continued to ask.
"Have we really never met?"
Duan Yunfei's hand came to a halt and he turned his face to look directly at Yan Xu, "If it's you and 'me', we really have never met."
Duan Yunfei emphasized a single word that had given various speculations on Yan Xu's head. He was rethinking some irregularities in every appearance of Duan Yunfei who had been killed. In fact they had different monster appearances, only this Duan Yunfei in front of him alone had the form of a perfect human girl.
"Are those I met before there clones?"
"Right, we call them 'Bloom' because they are just like living things, yet still connected despite having their own thoughts."
"So, when I killed them, did you also feel pain?"
Duan Yunfei shook his head weakly as he said, "No, but I feel fear within them."
"Hoo .. so you share emotions. Now, are you confused to see your place become this strange?" yan Xu asked as he released an energy bullet towards the place that had become blurred.
The energy bullet immediately decomposed into spots of light upon touching the blurry part.
Duan Yunfei simply glanced boredly at the unraveling energy bullet and said, "Absolutely not."
"Don't you wonder why the space around you has become so strange?" Yan Xu put a slight interested expression on his face.
"The curiosity is there only if I'm still living normally. I don't care about what's going on in this world, so you don't have to think too much and worry whether I'm one of those dangerous entities or not."
Duan Yunfei held onto the hand of Yan Xu who was still gripping his wrist, "I, Duan Yunfei, as long as you take me out of this cursed place will always be your chess piece be it joy or sorrow, healthy or sick until the end of my life."
There was a spirit fire to start a new life on both of Duan Yunfei's beautiful eyeballs. He really seriously wants freedom from where he is right now.
