Chapter 420: Chapter 420

"Okay, let’s get started," Jing Shu took a deep breath.

It was time to begin the final tasks: to destroy every last trace, push everything into the terrifying lava, and blow up the entire two-kilometer tunnel, trying to leave everyone clueless as to which direction they had escaped!

Then, she would make her escape to freedom!

After nodding at each other, they began their respective tasks. Zhen Nantian took his belongings to the exit at the top of the mountain. Meanwhile, Jing Shu shouldered her two large backpacks, gave the reluctant fat chicken a kick, and strapped its own pack onto it. Then, she checked all the explosive devices one more time.

Even though the laboratory equipment looked expensive, Jing Shu didn’t understand or know how to use it, and it was too bulky. Besides, it wasn’t feasible to carry it out in the open, so Jing Shu abandoned the idea of taking these cumbersome items.

But there was one thing Jing Shu took in abundance: the Water of Life, a semi-finished product researched by Dr. Bo.

Jing Shu always felt that this substance would be useful in the future. Even if not, it could possibly serve as a shield and camouflage for her Spiritual Spring. Ever since acquiring the Magic Cube Space, Jing Shu had become like a hamster, always feeling that everything might be of some use. In any case, she would just store it in the Magic Cube Space for now. If it turned out to be truly useless after the space was full, then she would discard it. After all, it didn’t take up much space.

Once everything was ready, Jing Shu took a deep breath and stood at the entrance of the tunnel, waiting for the signal.

The sky was overcast. For no apparent reason, a drizzle had begun. The tiny raindrops fell slowly and lightly from the sky, like a mist of water that vanished upon touching the skin. She only felt a slight chill, nothing more.

Jing Shu’s pupils abruptly constricted. The rain seemed vaguely familiar, yet she couldn’t remember where she had seen it before—it seemed to be a dream, but also felt like something that had actually happened. She gently raised her hand, only to find it moving up at an abnormally slow pace.

Her thoughts began drifting to a distant place. Her memories suddenly surfaced, like a person seeing their life flash before their eyes right before death, releasing it like a movie. And she, the protagonist of her life, observed the passing scenes of her existence. No, not just this life; she started recalling the memories of her past life as well.

The movie rewound to her birth. She grew up, went to school, graduated, and then the apocalypse came. The third year of the apocalypse, the fourth... CLICK!

It was like a stuck disc, abruptly halting—that was the future to come! It was something that happened in her former life, but now, it couldn’t be played!

Then a surge of force swept through Jing Shu’s head, snapping her back to awareness, and the Second Form of the Magic Cube Space appeared explosively before her.

In front of her were cubic-meter plots of land, the six faces of each planted with different vegetables and fruits. Some also had dwarf trees, lush and green, standing about a meter tall.

There were diligent bees collecting honey, and each plot of land had a line of Nihility running to the central point of the Magic Cube Space—the Spiritual Spring.

Spreading out from this center, chickens nestled comfortably on their eggs, ducks quacked incessantly, accompanied by the mooing of cows, and occasionally the bleating of lambs could be heard.

The supplies collected before the apocalypse were neatly arranged in the Magic Cube Space. Jing Shu had divided it into many separate spaces that were now arrayed in Formations she didn’t understand.

With a glance, she could see all her secrets, all her possessions laid out before her.

At this moment, Jing Shu and the Second Form of the space were perfectly integrated, standing at the very center of the Magic Cube Space.

"From this point forth, all is my domain!"

The drizzle droplets fell from the mountain. They should have landed on Jing Shu, but somehow, they distinctly separated from her and the integrated space.

An 8th-tier Magic Cube Space of 512 cubic meters, with Jing Shu at its center, seemed to form an absolute vacuum.

Jing Shu gazed at all this in shock. Incredulous!

The Second Form of the Magic Cube Space was virtual, non-existent. When she usually activated the Second Form for no particular reason, it was like a virtual projection. It couldn’t touch anything; not even the dust in the air could settle on the Magic Cube’s space.

But now, the drizzle avoided the virtual Magic Cube Space. Why was that!

"Right! I remember this drizzle! The last time at the Underground Black Market, when I fought the Slave Master, there was a light shower. Yes, this is the same rain!" Jing Shu squinted. At the time, she thought it was one of Yang Yang’s ’tricks.’ She hadn’t expected... could this rain actually be something Zhen Nantian had caused?

Sluggish, dull, delayed. As the rain fell on her, her thoughts were disrupted. Her consciousness seemed to have been invaded; she didn’t even know what she was doing anymore... And that dangerous piece of memory—could this also read people’s memories?

This feeling was truly wondrous.

It’s just, I don’t know if my memories will be exposed. What if someone finds out I was reborn... It should be alright, right? Jing Shu was a bit worried.

However, no matter what, this ability seemed even more impressive than her Nihility Hypnosis skill. Her hypnosis imitated brainwaves and could only be used on five people simultaneously. But what about Zhen Nantian?

No, this ability is too familiar! Yes, the Magic Cube Space actually reacts to it! What in the world is it? My head feels like it’s thundering, about to explode! Jing Shu clutched her head, unable to remember no matter how hard she tried.

With this rain falling, does it mean one could do as one pleases afterward? No wonder Zhen Nantian was so interested in her hypnosis ability that day.

The odd sounds kept coming, and from the base of the mountain, Jing Shu could vaguely see Zhen Nantian’s bleak figure, emotionlessly killing people in the rain, as natural as drinking water.

Until Zhen Nantian’s surprised gaze shifted towards her. Those piercing eyes, capable of seeing through everything, looked past the crowds and landed on Jing Shu. His lips slowly parted as he softly spoke,

"I’ve actually been mistaken. You actually have something dimensional."

Damn it! This damned Magic Cube Space!

Jing Shu’s heart thumped wildly. Wait, something dimensional? Jing Shu might not have understood the meaning of this phrase before. But after spending more than ten days on the mountain journey, she realized something about dimensions.

That thing in the mountain was indeed a product of the fourth dimension.
