The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 115 - 112: Cold Light on the Back!

"Boom!"

Su Qi slammed his hammer into the monster, retracting it as the Hundred Man Slaughter Blade appeared in his hand, and then he started to run forward.

He opened the exit interface, and sure enough, the force quit option had turned grey.

"What is this massive abnormality? And how do I escape? Give me some hints, System Bro!"

Thankfully, the system hadn't completely disconnected and was transmitting information painfully over a 2G network.

[It is... Catastrophe... Chaos... Master of Destruction.... in this world....]

[Please make good use of... reset...]

[Kill it or....]

You list such an imposing title? It sounds like a formidable existence, and then you want me... a newbie who just reached level 20 and hasn't even entered society, to take it down?

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

And be clearer about that last part, dammit!

The system's signal was severely blocked, and it disconnected for a little while.

[Add.....]

Su Qi's eyes lit up, add what?

[Add... fuel]

[...]

The system completely lost connection, and the prompt box slowly faded.

"?"

Su Qi felt the need to report the Paradise System's glitch.

"But."

As Su Qi ran, he cut through a monster's belly with his blade, dodging the gushing blood.

[You have gained 1 Spiritual Ability Point, currently 57]

"At least this prompt is still here."

The system isn't up to par, he'd have to rely on hacks.

Su Qi was heading towards the Safe Zone; he still lacked enough information. The previous questions hadn't provided much crucial content about this entity representing Catastrophe and Chaos, the Master of Destruction.

And... make good use of the reset cycle? That seemed to be to his advantage.

Su Qi hurried along.

He had received plenty of clues from a man earlier, naturally including the address of the Safe Zone.

It was a high school.

At first, Su Qi was surprised by the choice of a school for the Safe Zone, but when he arrived... seeing the high enclosed walls and the cables prohibited from climbing.

He thought.

This place wasn't a bad choice.

"Who!"

Someone at a high spot near the gate, raised a spear towards the fog, then his eyelids twitched... just as he spotted Su Qi coming!

"It's a survivor! Open the gate!"

The gate was a fortified, heavy iron door, pushed open by both electricity and manpower, creating a small opening.

As Su Qi turned back to look at the fog.

A guard called out with a hint of urgency, "What are you doing? Come inside quickly."

Su Qi spoke emotionally,

"I never thought I'd step into a school again; it feels like I'm suddenly back in my school days, so it's a bit emotionally complex."

Guard: "..."

Complex my ass!

Su Qi shifted his gaze, having felt a chilling presence at his back, albeit momentarily... he had caught it, but couldn't see any figures in the fog when he looked back.

Su Qi stepped inside the gate, and the heavy door shut with a thunk.

"Were there other survivors who just arrived?" Su Qi looked at the guard and asked.

The guard appeared surprised as he looked at Su Qi, "You were with them, right, the guy who volunteered to be the bait?"

Su Qi quirked an eyebrow, "You've heard my story too?"

The guard nodded, "Everyone thought you were dead, but that little girl said you would survive and asked me to keep a close watch on the gate."

Not bad.

It was worth loaning you that candy.

The guard sized up Su Qi, still somewhat incredulous, "So how did you survive? Even for an Enhancer, facing an assault from two or three monsters is deadly, not to mention being chased down the streets."

Su Qi held up two fingers, "Just a little bit lucky."

He entered the school, which wasn't very large, consisting only of two classroom buildings and an auditorium.

Everyone was gathered inside the tightly closed auditorium.

"The fog... it's getting worse."

"Can we even survive?"

"Why has it come to this!"

There were many survivors in the auditorium, about two hundred people, all lethargic and dismayed, an air of despair as if awaiting a disaster.

"You...." A man who had been talking in the distance suddenly saw Su Qi and quickly walked over with a look of surprise, "You're actually still alive."

Su Qi: "Where are they?"

The man stretched out his hand and pointed: "Over there resting, undergoing examination and treatment."

Several nurses were carrying medical kits, drawing blood from each person.

"Examination..." Su Qi asked, "Examination of what?"

Before this, he hadn't had much time to learn about the situation; now, there was an opportunity to talk.

The man appeared surprised: "You don't know? It's been a month since the fog first burst forth. There was an announcement on the internet before the fog descended widely."

He said incredulously, "You couldn't be a reclusive otaku, could you?"

How rude.

"Firstly, it's quite normal not to go out in such creepy fog, and..." Su Qi spoke calmly, "My home internet has been really bad recently."

I'm not naming names.

Paradise System.

Su Qi planned to skip this part and update his own information first.

Although the man found it odd, he began to tell the story.

Su Qi listened carefully and understood more.

The fog had descended three times.

A month ago, two weeks ago, and now, each time lasting five days. Initially... one could still wrestle by using various heavy weapons for suppression.

But by the second time, it was completely uncontrollable.

Because these monsters seemed endless, impossible to kill. They gathered continuously upon hearing noises, and they became stronger as time passed.

Many survivors could only defend from strongholds, gathering all the enhanced fighting forces in the fog.

"Ordinary people who stay in the fog too long might exhibit dangerous symptoms. Earlier, many did not die at the hands of the monsters but perished in the fog."

After hearing this, Su Qi was certain... the fog was a manifestation of Pollution, and it had also produced many Pollution Abnormalities. There must be a Pollution Source not inferior to the previous bud.

Every Pollution Source carried different abilities and indications, representing the primal Pollution Power with great expansiveness, danger, and uncontrollability.

"I finally have some idea."

Su Qi pondered, "Just don't know how this is connected to that so-called Catastrophe Destruction, and the reset cycle... what kind of ability is this?"

At that moment.

They had already seen him, their eyes slightly brightened.

With hearty warmth, Blonde raised his hand, "...Bro, you're still alive!"

Su Qi walked over, his gaze sweeping the group; these twelve people had all survived, among them a key figure.

He began to carefully look at the question marks over each person's head.

Information changed every ten seconds...

The girl wearing earrings, a somewhat silent middle-aged man, a reserved old lady.

He took an unexpected look at a long-haired youth, who turned out to be a crossdresser in private.

Trouble.

It seemed none of them were simple.

The man also came over, smiling and speaking to the others, "Next, rest up well. We will guard this place, not letting the monsters in. Just hold out for a few days, and we should be able to see the light again."

Su Qi's gaze shifted to the fog outside the window:

"Is that so? I doubt it."

"The duration of the fog lasts longer each day, and the monsters grow stronger each time. I fear the next fog will spell the doom for the entire city."

Su Qi noticed that the information about the man was accurate; these Enhancers had been anxious about this issue recently. The monsters were much stronger than the previous two versions, and they were about to break down.

The man: "..."

He was well aware of these facts too.

You young man, can't you see I'm trying to keep everyone calm?

Noticing the alarmed and fearful glances from the crowd.

The man sighed deeply, his tone solemn as he grasped the knife in his hand:

"Don't worry... We have some leads already."

"This time, we will completely resolve the source of the fog!"

At this statement.

Su Qi, however, suddenly paused because, in that instant, he felt a chilling spike at his back, an unconscious reaction when one's spiritual power reached a certain threshold...

?

Su Qi sensed something was amiss, without any hesitation, at the last moment, his gaze flicked to the group.

Then.

The entire scene twisted and reversed!

Next moment.

Su Qi appeared... outside the iron door, the surrounding fog letting him realize he had reset again.

The guard once again raised their weapon, warily calling out to someone.

The familiar scene did not prompt Su Qi to respond.

He was silent.

One question dominated his mind.

Why?
