Global Awakening: Eavesdropping on the SSS-level School Beauty's Inner Voice-Chapter 43: Alice’s Shadow! Don’t throw me in to scout; I won’t compete with you for the treasure anymore!

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Alice’s Shadow! Don’t throw me in to scout; I won’t compete with you for the treasure anymore!

"Tianming, I’m not lying to you, the path ahead is going to be extremely dangerous!"

"Dangerous? That’s exactly right! In such a Secret Realm, the more dangerous the place, the more likely it holds incredibly precious treasures. If you’re scared, then head back the way you came by yourself; don’t follow me."

"You... why won’t you listen, hmph!"

Alice, who caught up with Lin Tianming, tried everything she could to make Lin Tianming change his course. However, no matter what she said, she was unable to shake his resolve.

If they continued a little further, the final treasure of the Mechanical Secret Realm would reveal itself, and she, with her strength not yet recovered, could only watch helplessly as Lin Tianming took those treasures.

Thinking this, Alice stamped her foot in frustration and huffed.

[It looks like this guy Tianming is determined to take this path. I’m entirely drained of my power now. If I keep following him, not only will I not be able to steal any treasures, but I might also get killed by him just like in my past life. Maybe... I should just leave now?]

[But... But it’s really unbearable! I came to the Mechanical Secret Realm so much earlier this life, so why do I still let Tianming take away most of the treasures in the Mechanical Secret Realm!]

Lin Tianming, upon hearing Alice’s disgruntled inner thoughts, also felt wronged.

He had never planned to monopolize all the opportunities in the Mechanical Secret Realm.

So far, Alice had secured both bottles of Mechanical Divine Liquid and the opportunity of the Mechanical Ascension Pool.

Lin Tianming merely soaked in the Mechanical Ascension Pool and hadn’t stopped her from gaining the chance of the pool.

Plus, he had already said, if they encounter some treasure, he would split it fifty-fifty with her; it was her own disbelief in him.

If it were the original host, indeed he might have desired to hoard everything for himself, and even to prevent Alice from competing, he might have resorted to murder and plunder.

But he, the transmigrator, was not the original host; he had his own principles in doing things.

Just like back in the Lost Land, regarding Ye Qingxue’s gene magic potion for repairing her Divine Soul, he did not engage in snatching it.

Even though he got other Divine-level Treasures, he did not kill Ye Qingxue; he even protected her from being harmed by the whispers of the Angel Xingyao within the Secret Realm.

In the end, he adhered to his promise, protecting Ye Qingxue and gaining her true heart and forgiveness.

The current Alice, just like Ye Qingxue at the beginning, did not believe in him, but Lin Tianming believed that by acting with integrity, he will eventually make Alice recognize his difference from the original host.

Time will prove everything!

Lin Tianming did not offer any further explanation, and he continued on the path that Alice did not want him to take.

Soon, Lin Tianming brought Alice to the final hidden treasure spot.

However, upon reaching there, Lin Tianming immediately felt a force of immense invisible power weighing upon him, which instantly brought him down to his knees.

"What... what kind of force is this? Why has it brought me to my knees?"

Lin Tianming, while shocked, took the opportunity before he was completely crushed by that powerful unseen force to retreat from the area of the Mechanical Secret Realm’s final treasure.

After pulling back, Lin Tianming looked behind him at Alice: "Phew... it’s good I reacted fast, otherwise I might’ve really been flattened. Alice, do you have any understanding of the area up ahead?"

At that moment, Alice was staring at him with a face full of panic, as if recalling memories that struck her with immense fear.

"Don’t... don’t throw me in there to explore; I don’t know anything... I don’t want the treasures, I’m leaving... I’m leaving now!"

[In my past life, it was right here that I was betrayed and severely injured by Tianming’s sneak attack. And then, he used me as a tool to explore, suffering the torment of intensified gravity in the area affected by the Gravity Device!]

[Had I known, I would’ve left earlier. What’s the use of being resentful? Wanting to prove myself, I followed him, only to forget that he used me as a tool to explore in my previous life!]

[I have to leave now... is it... is it still possible? I don’t want to experience the torture of that gravity again, nor be used by him to grope our way to the central Gravity Device, to turn it off for him and have the hidden treasures continue to benefit him!]

Thinking about it, Alice, deeply affected by the shadows of her past life, turned around and tried to run away.

But as soon as she turned, Lin Tianming picked her up by the back of her collar, suspending her in mid-air like a little chick.

No matter how much she kicked her legs, Lin Tianming simply wouldn’t release her, powerless as she was.

"Please... Tianming, don’t...don’t throw me in there to scout ahead, I...I really won’t compete with you for opportunities anymore, can’t I just leave?"

[Indeed, just like in my previous life, even though the details are different, I still end up being picked up and thrown in when I’m powerless!]

Lin Tianming, listening to Alice’s fearful thoughts that he would harm her, didn’t take it to heart.

Holding onto Alice, who wanted to flee, Lin Tianming turned back to face the treasure area sealed by the Gravity Device and pointed to the energy pillar at the very center, asking Alice a question.

"Alice, do you think that glowing pillar might be the real reason behind the mysterious force suppressing this area?"

"Prob...probably?"

[He... he wouldn’t really plan on throwing me in, enduring the torment of multiple gravities to shut the Gravity Device for him, would he?]

Lin Tianming, hearing Alice’s verbal reply and her inner voice, decided to tease her.

"Alice, go and take a look, I think there’s definitely something off about that glowing pillar, try and see if you can shut it down!"

Upon hearing Lin Tianming’s words, Alice’s vision went dark, and she almost fainted from the horrific shadow of her past life.

Oh my!

Such a big reaction?

Lin Tianming saw the ashen look of Alice suffering from her mental shadows and decided not to tease her anymore, her frailty easily frightened.

Just when Alice thought he was about to throw her in to scout for him, Lin Tianming, under her astonished gaze, released his large hand holding Alice.

Then, under Alice’s even more disbelieving stare, Lin Tianming actually walked in himself.

Alice looked at Lin Tianming in a daze: "He... he actually didn’t throw me in to scout?"

Mechanical Transformation!

Lin Tianming didn’t bother with the flabbergasted Alice; he directly transformed his flesh body into a Mechanical Body.

He had already figured that if the Mechanical Body didn’t work, then he would try a Spirit Transformation next.

Fortunately, as soon as his body transformed into a Mechanical Body, the terrifying gravity’s effect on him was significantly weakened.

Although it still had some effect, Lin Tianming, relying on his Mechanical Body, quickly arrived at the central area.

Circling around the Gravity Device that Alice had mentioned in her thoughts, Lin Tianming found the mechanism and successfully shut the Gravity Device down.

As the Gravity Device was turned off, the horrifying gravity surrounding them dissipated entirely.

Lin Tianming managed to collect the intricately designed compact Gravity Device and started to establish a connection.

Successfully connecting with the Gravity Device and making it his own, Lin Tianming’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a slight smile.

With this Mechanical Divine Country Divine Artifact that could release amplified gravity, he now had one more card up his sleeve for survival.

After securing the Gravity Device, Lin Tianming also looked at Alice, who was still standing dumbfounded in the outer area.

"Alice, what are you spacing out for? Come on in and we’ll split the treasure here fifty-fifty!"
