Global Game: I Have Portable Store

”What do you mean by that?” The old man’s tone turned sharp in an instant, as if a knife had been thrust in, giving a bloody feeling.

Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, ”I don’t know why, but the same thing that happened to you Titan Humans happened to me. I’m being rejected by the world I’m in.”

”In other words, that world has no place for me. Once I go back again, I’ll definitely be erased.”

He had gone over it back and forth many times and felt that his situation was very similar to that of the Titan Humans—unrecognized by the world, treated as a virus-like existence.

Looking at it now, this kind of thing was actually very strange, as if the world possessed an independent self-defense system. He didn’t know if it was the Doomsday Game itself.

Although the old man had no eyeballs, he looked like he was carefully scrutinizing Su Changxing, while Su Changxing, on the other hand, didn’t have any physical body.

”This is rejection. You’ve become an unreasonable existence, but not entirely unreasonable. There’s still some difference between you and us.”

”But the basic principle is almost the same. A human actually gets to enjoy this kind of treatment—it really does sound unbelievable.”

”Has humanity also come to this day? Heh.”

The old man took out a gray bowl from his chest and fiddled with it. There was a hint of self-mockery in his tone, as if recalling something.

Su Changxing continued to ask, ”So is there any way to resolve my situation?”

Soon, that bowl turned into a thin, long chain in the old man’s hand, making a ding-ding-dang-dang sound, giving off a very Heavy feeling.

”Of course there’s a way. Otherwise, what do you think allowed us Titan Humans to survive that war back then? But if too much time passes, problems will still arise.”

”What way?” Su Changxing asked.

The old man coiled the chain into a ball in his hand and said unhurriedly:

”This method is actually very simple. Since there is something wrong with you and the world does not acknowledge you, then disguise yourself as something that has no problem. But this requires a very sophisticated Disguise.”

”How do I Disguise?”

Su Changxing asked again, only to see the old man slap toward him. That palm was huge, several times bigger than his entire body, like a towering mountain, completely covering him.

...

Red mist, suffused by moonlight.

The moon was also red. It was a Hongyue, hanging in the hazy gray sky, appearing exceptionally strange and sinister.

A long arm wrapped in pitch-black chains stretched out from the soil underground, and right after, a naked man crawled out from below.

If someone saw this scene, they’d be scared half to death.

Unfortunately, there weren’t any people around at this time.

”This place...”

Su Changxing raised his head and looked around, frowning. At first glance at this environment, he thought he had arrived in some other world.

This was Blue Star, Blue Star whose environment had become bizarre.

A strange smell permeated the air, a bit like gasoline, faintly pungent.

Su Changxing took a new set of clothes out from his Pocket Galaxy and put them on. He had no idea where his previous set had been lost, and along with it, the Skeleton Talisman, the Bell, and the other items he used to carry with him were all gone.

They were probably lost on the battlefield of the Ninth Dimension. After all, he had died there before, his body completely dead there and then rotting away.

Although that dead Titan Human had indeed resurrected him, he didn’t feel particularly grateful. He thought it was premeditated, or more like a transaction—a deal that had taken place somewhere beyond his sight.

Titan Humans surely did not possess the Ability to resurrect others at will.

He once again examined the surrounding environment and did not sense any living human aura. Instead, there were quite a few other things moving about here, some remnants carrying weak Life Force.

Perhaps because he had caused quite a commotion here, vague silhouettes appeared along the street ahead. It was a large group of corpses, always missing arms or legs, yet still capable of moving, with faint glimmers of spirit in their eyes.

[Zombie: Tier Nine, transformed from a corpse, a creature with no particular advantages. Its only advantage is probably its strong Life Force, making it hard to kill.

”Is this area a monster nest?”

Su Changxing felt a bit puzzled. He thought the buildings nearby were all unusually dilapidated, as if they had stood here for hundreds of years, exuding a decayed smell.

He took a handgun out from his Pocket Galaxy and activated Perfect Bullet Screen, wiping out in one go all the zombies he could see on the street.

It was like sweeping away dust. He felt the area become much cleaner in an instant.

Normally, with his strength, he wouldn’t need to go through such trouble—just a few bullets would do. But because he needed to Disguise himself, his strength also had to be appropriately Disguised, capped at Tier Seven at most.

And the chain on his arm was what helped him Disguise himself. He couldn’t really say what exactly it was; even the Eye of Data couldn’t analyze it.

After clearing out this group of zombies on the street, Su Changxing turned and left, walking along the road outward, his shadow stretched long under the moonlight.

”This place is outside the range of the Doomsday Game. I can’t connect to the forum. Could this be an Alternate Space?”

He pondered, also noticing that there were some other things in that place just now, but he didn’t pay too much attention.

At this moment.

On the street full of zombie corpses, two creatures wearing dark red armor appeared, about more than two meters tall, their faces indistinct.

”They were all killed in an instant. Truly terrifying.”

”Good thing you were cautious just now and we didn’t come out early.”

”Since when did such a terrifying Player suddenly appear around here... did he just crawl out from underground?”

”Seems like it. Could he be a zombie like us? Just that his Level is too high, so we can’t tell.”

”No way.”

...

The whole grove was white. The leaves were white, the branches were white too, but an ashy white.

From ahead came a creaking, creaking sound—wooden wheels rolling nonstop, harsh and grating.

”Young man, where are you headed?” It was an old woman pushing a wooden cart, her body withered, her face twisted into an evil grin as she looked at Su Changxing.

The wooden cart was piled high with corpses, layer upon layer, an arm stretching out from the heap and clawing toward Su Changxing.

Su Changxing naturally stepped back, dodging that arm, and countered, ”How did this place end up like this?”

The old woman froze for a moment, slowly lifted her head, and carefully scrutinized Su Changxing: ”You’re a human?”

Shock crossed her face; she hadn’t expected humans to still show up in this territory.

Su Changxing’s lips hooked in a faint smile. ”Is there a problem? Did you really think this would be your turf?”

As the words fell, he raised his pistol to the old woman’s forehead, looking like he could pull the trigger at any moment. An unimaginable pressure crashed over her.

Terrifying.

The old woman stood there stunned, feeling her whole body refuse to obey her, forcing out a thin smile: ”In my memory, it’s always been like this here, it’s never changed.”

”And it’s been a long time since any humans came in. I can swear I’m telling the truth.”

Su Changxing glanced again at what was on the cart and asked, ”What are you going to do now?”

The old woman chuckled and said, ”I heard a lot of zombies were killed over by Zombie Town and need to be dealt with, so I came over.”

She thought of how those zombies had all been killed by Su Changxing, but she still wanted to live, so she didn’t say anything more.

Su Changxing frowned and said, ”Deal with what?”

”The dead bodies can be used again, recycled over and over.”

”I see. So you’re dangerous too. In that case, I can’t let you stay.” Su Changxing muttered to himself, pulled the trigger, and blew the old woman and her wooden cart straight through.

The corpses on the cart suddenly came alive and surged toward him, but then they spontaneously combusted, one after another dissolving in the flames.

”This really doesn’t feel like Blue Star... Two different spaces joined together?” Su Changxing was full of doubt.

He kept walking forward, but never ran into any other living thing, as if they were all avoiding him.

Then—

His phone reacted.

[You have arrived at Huangmu Garden]

In front of him sprawled a vast cemetery, with numerous visible Ghosts drifting above it.

The strength of these Ghosts wasn’t weak either, having Tier Eight.

That was quite something, especially for Blue Star, and in such numbers.

Su Changxing halted at the gate of the graveyard and looked inside. None of the Ghosts had noticed him, except for one special one, hefting a massive scythe, cloaked, standing atop a crumbling statue.

”Human?”

A hoarse voice.

It looked over at Su Changxing. Under the cloak its body was a haze of ghostly blue; its face wore a smile, like flayed human skin pasted back on, full of wrinkles and creases.

[Tomb Guardian Zombie Soul: Tier Seven, ruler of this graveyard. It will not leave this place, but will kill all outsiders who enter, making them permanent residents here.

This is its duty.

”Its strength is actually not bad.”

Su Changxing murmured, then shouted at this Ghost: ”Do you know how to get out of here?”

The Tomb Guardian Zombie Soul had already raised its blade, but stiffened when it heard Su Changxing’s words.

What was he doing.

Asking for directions?

The Tomb Guardian Zombie Soul still responded, staring at Su Changxing and saying in a low voice, ”You don’t need to leave. Just stay here.”

But when it looked toward where Su Changxing had been, there was no one there—only a faint breeze it could feel passing through its body.
