Energy Storm Incoming: Survive or Transcend

Chapter 6

Ever since she received the tip and entered this space, she has not figured out what this so-called "Trial of God" is, and the clues she has learned so far are limited.

After splitting up into teams and walking out of the previous space, they received a task prompt and nine cards appeared in their minds. They didn't know what the relationship was with the nine people who entered the space.

Before things are clarified, the existence of a dagger can make Lorna feel a little more at ease.

"When I came in, I was on my way home from get off work and something unexpected happened..."

Lorna did not mention the murderer she met on the road, and the middle-aged man did not suspect that she would lie. After all, judging from the current situation between him and the girl, the things they were holding in their hands were related to the things they grabbed when they entered the "Trial of God". But whether it was the girl's mobile phone or the mouse he threw away, they were obviously useless in such a place. The short and fat man subconsciously thought that it was normal for Lorna not to take anything when she entered the space. Even if she had some reservations, the things she got might not be of any use.

But even so, the man looked at her, and she looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

After entering the space, the wound on Lorna's neck disappeared, but her hair and clothes were wet by the rain, and her long hair was covered with mud and stuck to her face.

The thick bangs were wet by the water and covered half of her face tightly. The contrast between the black hair and pale skin made her complexion look even paler and bloodless.

She must have been frightened by this strange space, she was still shaking uncontrollably. The middle-aged man just glanced at her and immediately turned his head away with a look of disgust.

On the contrary, although the girl is also timid and cowardly, she is undoubtedly more pleasing to the eye than her appearance.

"Did you receive any hints?"

Most of the thick fog around had dissipated, at least the n***d eye had a certain degree of visibility. The middle-aged man calmed down as he did not find any danger for the time being. He raised his head, imitated the doctor's tone of voice in the previous space, put on a controlling tone, and asked about the two girls.

Lorna didn't say anything. The girl was obviously very innocent. When the middle-aged man asked, she answered honestly:

"Yes, I received a picture as soon as we came in." Like Lorna , she also saw nine cards with mysterious patterns in her mind. She didn't know what the card was for now, but the strange pattern on the back of the card made her feel a little uneasy:

"What about you?"

At this point, Lorna guessed that all the hints of the mysterious space should have been received by the nine people who entered here. Perhaps the opportunity to leave this space lies in these hints.

Since everyone received the same message, there was no need for her to hide it, so when the girl asked a question, she nodded, indicating that she had received the same hint. The middle-aged man's expression changed for a long time, and it seemed that he still couldn't figure out the purpose of this card, so he admitted that he had received such a hint.

"Now it seems that I should go back to where we were just now and talk about it after we meet up with everyone."

When he said this, the girl naturally wanted it. Lorna was silent for a while, and then reminded him in a low voice:

“The space is gone.”

After she said this, the middle-aged man and the girl seemed to realize the problem and looked around.

The thick fog around had dissipated a little, but not completely, and the light and visibility were only slightly better than before.

The place where the few people were was an open space. In the distance, there was a thick gray fog. There were some vague black shadows, like monsters that wanted to eat people.

The space where everyone was previously staying had indeed disappeared. It was not even clear where the three people came from or where they were at the moment. The middle-aged man suddenly felt a little desperate.

"f**k!" He cursed, "What the hell is this place?"

The girl was trembling. Lorna was actually afraid too. She touched the dagger hidden in her sleeve again. The sharp edge of the dagger gave her a sense of security in such an environment. She forced herself to muster up her courage and looked around carefully, trying to find a landmark to mark the place so as not to get lost in this place.

Among the four teams of nine people who entered the space, Lorna's team was the weakest. The girl was timid and cowardly and too young. In such a situation, let alone bringing any help to everyone, it was already very good that she did not cause trouble to others.

The middle-aged man looked older and should have more experience, but this man had a lewd look in his eyes. Judging from his previous behavior of being unhappy and almost hitting someone because of the girl's scream, this man was also unreliable.

Although Lorna herself is not very courageous, she does not trust others in a place like this, so she can only rely on herself.

"Let's find a place first and determine the direction." When the girl and the middle-aged man were at a loss, she took a deep breath and said:

"If you want to leave here, you must at least meet up with the other people first and then find an exit."

There was no better way at this point, and the middle-aged man and the girl both agreed with Lorna's words.

Once the decision was made, the middle-aged man quickly tried to establish his position as the "boss" of the team in the minds of the two girls. He waved at the girl:

"None of us know if this place is dangerous, so it's best not to separate. I'll hold your hand..." He puffed out his chest and gave orders. When he saw Lorna's dirty and miserable appearance, he showed disdain in his eyes and ordered the girl:

"You hold her."

He obviously couldn't remember Lorna's name, but Lorna didn't care about it. She was used to the feeling of being ignored. What's more, she felt that in such a mysterious space, facing a group of strangers, it might be better for her to have a lower sense of presence.

The girl was obediently held by the middle-aged man, who held Lorna with one hand. She must have been frightened. Once she held the middle-aged man and Lorna , even though Lorna's hands were not clean, she held them tightly and did not let go.

It can be felt that the girl's family is well-off and her parents are quite protective of her. Her palms are soft and tender, and one can tell from the touch that she has never done housework, which is why she has such a soft touch.

"Your mouse, do you still want it?"

As the group was about to leave, Lorna glanced at the mouse thrown on the ground and spoke in a low voice.

She has too few things she can use now, and she doesn't know what will happen in the future. Holding something in her hand, even if she knows it won't be of much use, can at least give her a sense of security.

Although the middle-aged man disliked the mouse for being useless, when he heard Lorna's intention to use it, he didn't want to be taken advantage of by her. When he heard her question, he naturally said:

"Of course."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked it up.

The three of them held hands, chose a direction and started moving. After walking for about ten minutes, they did not see any people. The ground was covered with a lot of weeds. The further they walked in a certain direction, the denser the weeds became, reaching above several people's ankles.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Doctor? John?"

They didn't know how long they walked. After their cell phones and watches became useless in this place, the middle-aged man gradually became impatient. They were getting closer and closer to the huge black shadow they had discovered earlier, causing cold sweat to break out on their palms and backs.

The middle-aged man gradually lost his temper, stopped and shouted loudly, his voice was a little hysterical, and the two girls did not dare to speak. He stopped for a while after shouting, and after a long time, a faint echo came:

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? ... Jo, hn, hn, hn..."

The last word "hn" was rang many times in succession. The shrill echo scared several people. The middle-aged man's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Lorna licked his dry lips, bent his arms, and felt the presence of the dagger. His heart, which had stopped for a few beats, began beating rapidly again.

After this wave of echoes, the middle-aged man didn't dare to shout loudly anymore. His voice was quite loud before, and he was sure that if John, the doctor or any group of people in the previous space were nearby, they would be able to hear it. Since there was no response, it either proved that they were no longer in the same space, or that the other three teams were not nearby and might be quite far away.

This is troublesome because everyone is far away from each other, which means that if danger occurs, they may not be able to rush to each other to help or rescue.

Lorna keenly noticed that the middle-aged man was becoming more and more irritable and restless. The environment she had grown up in and the situation where she almost died at the hands of a stranger tonight made her very sensitive to crises. She should be careful with this man.

The nine cards in my mind have not changed for the time being. At this moment, I don’t know whether this is a good thing or not.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the middle-aged man finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched out his legs and kicked the bushes in front of him. He was about to curse, but when his foot landed, he stepped on empty air. The middle-aged man couldn't retract his foot in time, and in the end, not only did he fall to the ground, but the girl he was holding and Lorna, who was held tightly by the girl, were also dragged down with him.
