World of Superpowers: Kill monsters to explode skills

88: fog”But how did you know I was here?” Shi Yan asked, though what he truly wanted to know wasn’t that, but other questions.

”I’ve been walking here for so long, and I finally heard some noise from your direction, so of course I had to come and see,” Zhang Jing said.

”Sure enough,” Shi Yan thought to himself. This person named Zhang Jing had entered this instance earlier than him, which was very unusual.

If he hadn’t been unwilling to use the Control Pill on this waste, he could have easily dealt with him.

”Let’s go,” Zhang Jing said, leading the way to the right.

Shi Yan saw that there was no point in just standing there, so he followed.

As Shi Yan stepped out of the room, the cold sensation around him instantly became more intense.

The surrounding walls gave Shi Yan a sense of danger.

The door behind him suddenly slammed shut with a bang, and a strong gust of air blew past him.

Shi Yan tried to push the door open, but it seemed to be welded to the ground, not moving an inch.

”Once you’re out, you can’t go back in,” Zhang Jing said, seemingly noticing Shi Yan’s actions and turning to look at him.

The two walked through the deserted corridor, surrounded by silence.

Suddenly, a corner appeared ahead, and Zhang Jing slowly slowed his pace.

”This is the first place I’ve encountered here that has changed,” Zhang Jing said in a deep voice.

”Oh?” Shi Yan asked, confused.

Neither of them stopped at this point, continuing to walk forward, and soon they turned the corner.

There was still no change after the corner, and Zhang Jing slowly lowered his hand from his waist.

A series of faint footsteps suddenly came from ahead, very hurried, as if something was chasing them from behind.

Shi Yan slightly slowed his pace, falling back one step behind Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing’s hearing was a bit worse; he only heard the sound after they had walked a bit further.

”Someone’s approaching!” This time, Zhang Jing directly drew the two pistols from his waist, his eyes fixed on the distant mist ahead that he couldn’t see through.

The footsteps grew louder, and the distant mist churned. A delicate-looking Girl ran out of the mist.

Her face was tinged with panic, and her eyes were filled with terror; she looked utterly flustered.

She seemed to have seen Shi Yan and the other person, and a look of relief, as if she had been rescued, appeared on her flustered face.

After seeing the Girl, Zhang Jing slowly lowered his hands that were aimed at the white mist.

”Phew, you scared me,” Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought there was some monster ahead.

Shi Yan looked at the Girl indifferently.

The Girl was indeed human, and her level was displayed as twenty, but he always felt a slight sense of unease.

However, he didn’t say anything to Zhang Jing, just watched as the Girl gradually ran towards Zhang Jing.

The Girl ran to Zhang Jing, panting heavily.

”Is there anything behind you?” Zhang Jing couldn’t help but ask, looking at the Girl’s panicked expression.

”No, I just felt like someone was behind me all the time, but it’s gone now,” the Girl said, catching her breath, then told Zhang Jing the reason for her panic.

Zhang Jing frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

”Then do you have any clues?” he couldn’t help but ask.

”I only know that if someone stays in the mist for too long, unknown things will happen,” the Girl said with a serious expression.

”How do you know?” Shi Yan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

”This is a clue I found searching in my room,” the Girl seemed to have only just noticed Shi Yan, but looking at Shi Yan’s level, the Girl was clearly not as enthusiastic as she was with Zhang Jing. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Shi Yan didn’t mind the Girl’s attitude. He hadn’t expected there to be clues in the room. Why wasn’t there any in his room?

It was very likely that Zhang Jing’s room also had some kind of clue, but he just hadn’t mentioned it.

”Wow, your room actually has clues? My room and his room have nothing at all,” Zhang Jing said in surprise, pointing to Shi Yan beside him.

After the three learned a bit about each other, they decided to walk back, because from the Girl’s words, she had run at least tens of kilometers.

They turned around and returned the way they came. Not long after, they quickly rounded the corner. After the three rounded the corner and walked a bit further, Zhang Jing discovered a problem.

”The position has changed!” Zhang Jing looked in shock at a pattern on a wall.

He had left a mark on a wall earlier to have a reference point, but the mark had now disappeared.

Shi Yan didn’t speak. He had actually noticed the changes around them much earlier.

Specifically, the changes began from the corner they had walked through.

Shi Yan had a strong memory. Although the patterns on the walls along the way seemed to have no difference, if one looked closely, they would find that these patterns all had significant differences.

He used these patterns to determine that their current location had changed.

”Ah? It can still change?” the Girl said, her face stiff, seeming a bit scared as well.

”Don’t panic, let’s keep walking forward and see,” Zhang Jing’s expression was a bit grim. Since the front had changed, it meant there might be some new clues.

In this environment, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The three quickened their steps, moving rapidly along the corridor.

As the three advanced, the mist ahead grew thinner and thinner, and a large door gradually appeared in their sight.

Sounds of fighting also came from within the door. The three exchanged glances, quickened their pace again, and directly rushed to the front of the door.

The large door stood abruptly in the middle of the corridor, completely blocking it.

The door’s appearance was identical to the other doors around it, all of them pitch black.

”Someone’s fighting inside,” Zhang Jing listened intently for a moment.

”Then let’s wait a little longer and go in after they finish fighting,” the Girl’s delicate face still held that adorable expression, but her words were rather sinister.

”Okay,” Zhang Jing nodded. He didn’t mind the Girl’s words, as he had originally thought the same thing.

Shi Yan also said nothing.

The three stood at the doorway, listening carefully to the sounds from within the door.

The sounds were much clearer now; not only could they hear fighting, but they could also occasionally hear faint curses.

It sounded like there were about three or four people. Shi Yan’s eyes flickered slightly.

Not long after, the sounds from within the door suddenly disappeared, as if the fighting had ended abruptly.

The three exchanged glances, knowing the time was almost right. Zhang Jing walked up and gently placed his hand on the doorknob.
