The buzzing of insects and the fluttering of wings converged into a torrent of sound waves, ringing in the ears.
'Where is this … 'Gu Jun opened his blurry eyes and saw a dark sky. It was a swarm of locusts, the kind that he once saw flying out from Angel City. They filled the sky. Their numbers were terrifying. From one end of the horizon to the other, there was nothing but locusts.
The ground was scorched and barren. There were no buildings, plants, animals, nothing … This was the Wasteland World.
Gu Jun had returned to this place but in what kind of body?
As Gu Jun thought about it, he saw the multi-colored cat lying on the ground. Keziah Mason and Yu Chi were there as well. He realized Yu Chi was there in his real body. He had unkempt hair and a bushy beard. He wore a casual t-shirt and khaki pants. He looked exactly the same as when he was in Pnakotus Library.
As for himself … He looked at his own hands. He recognized them as the Hands of Dexterity that he once possessed.
They appeared to have arrived here in their real bodies, from Massachusetts to the Wasteland World, from the past to the future.
But their real bodies were all at Pnakotus City at the Mysterium World …
"Hmm." Gu Jun held his head and stood up. He looked around himself and was even more certain that this was his real body. Every scar on his body was the same, and his consciousness was very stable. Even though he had a terrible headache, it did not feel like when he was possessing his real body.
At that moment, he heard the multi-colored cat meow weakly. He walked over to ask, "Dirty-minded Yu? Are you alright? "
The cat stood up shakily. She looked like she was on the brink of collapse.
Keziah Mason woke up as well. She looked around and could not hide the shock in her heart. "Is this … hell?"
When Yu Chi woke up, he knew this was the Wasteland World. They had indeed transmigrated here in their real bodies. Gu Jun could pick up the cat and Yu Chi could grab a handful of sand. They soon realized even their backpacks and belongings were next to them. They were covered by the scorched soil.
"This looks like the site of the nuclear explosion." Gu Jun looked around. "If there's radiation, we can probably survive for another day."
He did not understand, there were many things he did not understand, why were the locusts still around?
At the time, he saw everything on the wasteland disintegrate, including the locusts … unless someone summoned them again.
'Is there radiation here? ' Once the human body was exposed to high level radiation, it would experience discomfort such as nausea and nausea. However, the three of them and the cat seemed to be fine. The cat shook its head and waved its paw when it heard about nuclear radiation, as if to say that there was no need to worry about it.
'There's radiation but we won't absorb it? '
Gu Jun suddenly had a thought. 'Could it be that we are not actually here … but we are in another dimension …'
He came from the Phecda World; Yu Chi from the Mysterium World; Keziah Mason from the Massachusetts World;
There was also the multi-colored cat. Even if it was Wu Siyu's consciousness, it was not her real body. The cat brought them here, and it seemed to represent the wasteland world.
The split cross, 4 worlds, 4 lives, they were all here.
"Ah!" "Accept, gather, we are all here … We are in a special dimension. Perhaps we only look like this, but we are not here, we are not in the library. We are in the four worlds, but we are not in any of them. We are at the center, we are close to the center … Who, who arranged all of this, and for what reason …" Yu Chi's thoughts were stirred when he heard Gu Jun say that. Yu Chi's thoughts were stirred.
Yu Chi's words became more and more passionate. Gu Jun felt his head swell but at the same time, inspiration struck him. 'The central point of the split …
If that's the case, what role did the Yith play? '
However, he felt that instead of thinking blindly, it was better to think of a way to get the multi-colored cat to reveal more information.
If it was Wu Shiyu, then what had happened and why would she know about the kaleidoscope door? Spell? Super technology?
That was not a simple skill.
Now that they had some tools, they had a way to communicate.
"Dirty-minded Yu, point at this." Gu Jun used a pen and paper to write out an alphabet. "Use English or Pinyin to spell out what you want to say. Point at each letter and then we'll confirm the information, is that okay?"
The multi-colored cat nodded. She could give it a try, but she was still a little anxious, as if there was something she needed to do.
"Think about what you want to say first."
Before this, Gu Jun had a secret conversation with Yu Chi. He told Yu Chi about the witch's power following them at the library and the two replays. He told Yu Chi to keep an eye on Keziah Mason. Now the witch's power was nowhere to be found.
When Yu Chi heard this, he instantly understood why Gu Jun was so wary of this girl. There was indeed something suspicious and inexplicable about this.
Soon, the cat chose Pinyin because it was more confidential. Her poor English was just a bonus.
Gu Jun studied the alphabet seriously and used a piece of paper to jot down the first sentence that she spelled out, then the second … From the multi-colored cat's explanation, he slowly gleaned more information about Wu Siyu. He filled in the gaps that he could not get from Elder Tong. The mutated area, the poster, the painting, the arrival at the wasteland world …
That poster, it was her painting as well?
Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that it was not the split cross that had the transmigration power but her painting? Or rather, her painting was needed as a medium?
Watercolors, posters, and the painting on the walkway of Old Man Joyce's house in Chickentown...
He thought back to the countryside painting. It looked familiar. Had he seen it at Wu Shiyu's house before?
If her poster could appear in the Wasteland World, then her other painting could appear in Cheektown.
"Captain Yu, perhaps … we've made a mistake," Gu Jun mumbled. Ever since he arrived at the Mysterium World, he had communicated with the mysterious signal twice. The split cross had appeared many times but the power was not so strong that it did not pull him into transmigration.
He thought it was because his power had weakened or because he was tied to the chair.
But could it be that Dirty-minded Yu's painting was not there?
Yu Chi was also listening. He was puzzled, really puzzled. Anything related to women was especially puzzling …
"And then?" Gu Jun asked as he looked at the anxious cat. "What happened after you arrived at the Wasteland World?"
At the same time, they noticed the number of locusts in the sky increased. If it was a flood before, now it was a tsunami.
