Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Power of the Twilight Bishop
[I seem to have arrived in a very peculiar world. If I find Claude someday, settling here might be a very good choice.]
[Ugh... still haven’t found Claude.]
[Following my old habits, I left a beacon here. I wonder if it will lure Claude over.]
...
Although it’s a printed manuscript, Shen Sui is certain that this is Vivian’s diary.
Has Vivian been to the real world?
But on second thought, as long as there’s a connection between the worlds, Vivian, who has mastered the invasion mechanism, indeed could come to the real world.
Beacon...
Shen Sui recalled the missing orphan.
"Alright, now is not the time to read this." Information seemed to come through Zhang Fang’s Bluetooth headset, his expression suddenly became grave, and he said to Shen Sui, "Hurry to the safe house."
"Wait a minute!"
Perhaps considering something, Zhang Fang raised his hand to stop Shen Sui and said to him, "Activate your dueling device."
As he spoke, he took out a small object like a USB drive from his pocket.
"What is this?"
"Forced Duel Module," Zhang Fang said. "It will automatically sense spatial anomalies, automatically detect nearby abnormal dueling devices. If your dueling device sends a warning, don’t hesitate, immediately activate this module. It will pull you and any individuals with dueling devices nearby into a forced duel area. There aren’t many Soul Cards that have survived from Soul Card World No. 1; I don’t want to lose another one."
"Is this the means to deal with the extraordinary?" Shen Sui curiously inserted the USB into his dueling device’s interface, which quickly began to flash. The screen changed, followed by a successful installation prompt, much like the process of installing other plugins at the Life Card Store.

Outside the Duel Training Hall, the roads were already deserted, and all regular personnel had evacuated.
Lin Zhen walked on this deserted street feeling an unusual sense of calm.
This world has no zombies, no survivalists with ulterior motives, you don’t have to risk your life daily to find food, nor do you need to worry about unknown attacks.
It’s a peaceful world, it’s a world Lin Zhen yearns for.
His own world was once like this.
But all this was overturned with the meteor shower, all peace becoming illusory in the tide of zombies.
Lin Zhen continued walking.
He occupied Feng Lindu’s body in this world.
He pressed the World No. 19 Feng Lindu and let him watch as his body was manipulated to send the existence of "Feng Lindu" to the unforgivable scaffold.
Lin Zhen’s ear twitched, and he slightly turned his body as a bullet brushed past him.
Too slow.
The weapons in this world are all too slow.
Lin Zhen shook his head, looked up towards the distant Duel Training Hall.
The news said the boy named Shen Sui was here?
Lin Zhen’s mind stirred, his right foot suddenly stomped the ground, his figure instantly turning into a blur. This was pure physical strength; although he couldn’t fully descend onto this body, it was already a dimensional strike for the natives of this world.
His heart was filled with pain.
This power was gained by sacrificing countless comrades and lovers.
The origin of all this was the owner of this body.
He was angry, he was in pain.
He needed to find an answer.
Why can a person from a seemingly unrelated world so easily manipulate the fate of people from another world?
Suddenly, several shadows sprang from the boulevard trees on both sides, rushing towards Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen was calm and composed, focusing his gaze, only to see several black-painted mechanical dogs.
Model 21005 Mechanical Retrievers.
Lin Zhen was all too familiar with them because they were products of World No. 19.
Judging by the craftsmanship, they were probably manufactured by the natives based on blueprints.
Lin Zhen lifted his leg and shattered the nearest mechanical dog.
Mechanical Retrievers weren’t combat units; although equipped with weapons, they were nothing to Lin Zhen. In just a few breaths, these retrievers were all destroyed by Lin Zhen.
"What a beautiful world," Lin Zhen sighed, "Even the lethal weapons are so gentle."

In the safe house, except for Shen Sui, everyone was in a befuddled state.
Shen Sui found Bu Pei in the corner and curiously asked, "Do you know about the Forced Duel Module?"
"I think it’s my dad’s research project?" Bu Pei blinked confusedly, "Why are you asking this?"
"Just heard about it, got curious."
"You’d better not be curious. I only learned the name of this project by eavesdropping. If the old man finds out, he’ll turn me into the Security Bureau," Bu Pei murmured.
Seeing Bu Pei like this, Shen Sui realized this guy probably didn’t know anything either, so he quickly leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to refresh himself.
Apparently, Feng Lindu’s Soul Card invasion into reality was not just soul descent, possibly the power from the Soul Card World also came through; otherwise, the Exploration Bureau wouldn’t be as tense as facing a great enemy.
If it were just the soul coming through, it would’ve only been a matter of a bullet.
But if the power came over too, that would be troublesome.
Shen Sui actually didn’t want to bring trouble to the real world. After that flash of events the other day, he suppressed his desires.
But now, with life under potential threat, Shen Sui can’t afford to care about that.
He’s going to try to temporarily borrow Claude’s power from Dawn Continent to overcome the immediate crisis.
He’s always been full of action; once he has an idea, he doesn’t hesitate, and immediately opened the dueling device.
At this time, it seems Alice and her group received a message from Oshana, indicating a friction between Daylight Church and War God Church, with both sides interacting furiously at the border. Alice felt it was a great opportunity and immediately made haste to reach the War God Temple.
Alice and her group were traveling toward the War God Temple, Lingyi carrying them while soaring through the sky.
Shen Sui checked everyone’s status, and they were all very good.
[You appease the excited Qishala, channeling power to examine the rift behind you—a barely noticeable rift, a tiny flaw in the seemingly flawless world barrier.]
Shen Sui quickly inputted instructions.
[You channel your own magic power, using brute force to tear apart all the fog before you, placing your fingers on this rift.]
[You feel the existence of yourself.]
[The true self.]
In the next moment, Shen Sui felt a certain existence emerging from his body, then a virtual frame similar to a game interface appeared before his eyes, which could be hidden.
This interface was more than familiar to Shen Sui.
It was the game interface of Dawn Link.
Aside from a row of replaceable skill slots, Shen Sui was most concerned if his passive buffs were still there.
Then, he saw his buff bar, full of fifty buffs in Five Elements fashion.
Each buff was the developers’ caring gesture towards players, akin to being spoon-fed, to the extent that Wind Spirit Moon Shadow went out of business.
Clicking randomly on one of them, Shen Sui again felt the developers’ malice.
[Sweet Red Tea]: Passive, when your Life Value cap is 114514, your minimum Life Value is 1. (Note: Your life cannot be 0)
