Chapter 1 Gwen's Concerns

"Mark, why is that kid running to the last stall in the men's restroom again? Two people have already died in there. Why is he trying to get himself killed? Is something fishy going on? He's so far away that we can't observe any useful clues. I suspect he's doing it on purpose..."

Gwen said to Mark, the blond man beside her, with a displeased expression.

Mark stared at Shen Wei in the depths of the dark restroom with a gloomy gaze.

"That guy might have discovered some clues about the path of survival, most likely about the changing colors of the restroom doorknobs. I noticed that too. I suspect that the doorknobs of the restroom stalls will turn black again within a certain amount of time, and that will be the path of survival!"

"As for why Matthew and Emil Khan died? I think there are some limitations to this path of survival, but I don't know what those limitations are. However, I guess it has something to do with the flow of time and space. As for why he didn't choose the first stall near the restroom entrance, he's definitely retaliating against us for forcing him to be cannon fodder. But it doesn't matter. Remember the time he's waiting for, figure out the pattern, and we can safely leave this place..."

Mark used a special item to keep an eye on Shen Wei in the darkness.

Shen Wei watched the restroom doorknob in front of him, counting down. The moment the doorknob turned black, he immediately opened the stall door and rushed in. This time, he didn't relieve himself at all, but pushed open the stall door and walked out immediately.

"Mark, that guy disappeared..."

Gwen said with a terrified expression.

"It's okay, I've already grasped the rules of the path of survival..."

Mark said reassuringly!

Sure enough, when Shen Wei came out again, the scenery around the restroom was different from the original pitch-black restroom space. Several dim green emergency lights illuminated the men's restroom corridor. This was the space Shen Wei was in when he first entered the public restroom.

"I didn't violate the rules, so I should be able to find the exit of the public restroom and avoid being attacked by ghosts..."

Although Shen Wei believed in his judgment, he was still a little unsure.

Shen Wei carefully came to the exit of the public restroom. With the help of the dim green light of the emergency lights, he finally saw the public restroom door that had disappeared.

Just as Shen Wei was about to push open the door of the public restroom and re-enter the Otherworld,

The public restroom began to shake violently as if it had experienced a strong earthquake. The upper floors of the building even began to collapse. Countless terrifying ghosts poured out in a panic, rushing towards Shen Wei.

Shen Wei was terrified, but luckily, he opened the door of the public restroom at the critical moment and returned to the gray foggy Otherworld.

Mark and Gwen, who had already understood the truth of the path of survival, were trying to leave the public restroom when the entire public restroom began to collapse and be destroyed as if a strong earthquake had occurred. Those terrifying ghost monsters also completely lost control, baring their fangs and claws as they rushed towards Mark and Gwen, who were looking terrified.

"Damn it, I finally know why Wei Shen was in such a hurry! Because he knew that the rules were constantly collapsing, the rules of the path of survival were constantly changing, and the buildings in this Otherworld and the real world would gradually collapse..."

Mark said with a desperate expression.

"Don't say that, Mark. No matter what, we have to try the path of survival..."

After saying that, Gwen opened the door of the first stall, because the doorknob had just turned black. But before she could enter the stall, countless pale, thin arms grabbed her and dragged her into the stall. Then, the stall door closed automatically, and a shrill scream came out.

"It's over, it's all over. This is the end for me. I wasn't decisive enough this time. As expected, hesitation leads to defeat..."

The public restroom began to completely disintegrate and gradually turned into ashes. Mark also disappeared along with it.

"Goryeo's Chosen One Mark is dead, Goryeo will suffer a strong earthquake..."

"The Sun Never Sets Empire's Chosen One Gwen is dead, a small rule anomaly will descend upon the Sun Never Sets Empire..."

Shen Wei wasn't surprised to hear about Mark and Gwen's deaths. Because now the rules were very unstable, and even being gradually destroyed by Her. The collapse of the entrances and exits of the Otherworld and the real world was only a matter of time.

Moreover, Shen Wei had another prediction about the Otherworld and the real world.

"Righty, I suspect that the rulers of this Otherworld and the real world are different!"

Shen Wei suddenly said to his student, the Evil God Right Hand.

"Why do you say that?"

The Evil God Right Hand asked, puzzled.

"I suspect that the real world is dominated by that source of pollution, that is, the abandoned suicidal little girl. She controls everything in the real world. The real world is actually a slaughterhouse for killing people. Although there are rules to limit it, it is very dangerous."

"This so-called Otherworld is more like a sanctuary, specially built by someone to help the Chosen Ones and amusement park survivors. However, this place has been constantly invaded by the real world. All kinds of terrifying monsters have been sent into the Otherworld by Her in the Morning Light Amusement Park to hunt down the Chosen Ones and amusement park survivors!"

"And the ruler of the Otherworld is obviously not as powerful as Her in the Morning Light Amusement Park, and the places She can protect are getting fewer and fewer. She may even be imprisoned. Therefore, the rules She has formulated will always be tampered with. If you want to find the non-existent control room, you must find the creator of the rules of this Otherworld..."

"You little brat, listening to your words, it seems like you know who the ruler of this Otherworld is. Are you deliberately showing off to me, right?..."

The Evil God Right Hand's focus was a little different.

Shen Wei smiled wryly.

"Where do I have the time to do those useless things? But you're right that I've figured out the identity of the Otherworld's guardian. I do have some guesses. I suspect that the guardian of the Otherworld is the little girl I saved before or the haunted house employee disguised as a clown who gave me the flashlight..."

"You little brat, listening to you, I do think those two people are a little suspicious. But the most urgent thing now is to leave this fog and go to the haunted house. I didn't expect us to return to the starting point again after going around in circles. Not good, something terrifying is rushing this way, run..."

The Evil God Right Hand said to Shen Wei while scanning the gray foggy unknown park with the red glasses pattern on his palm.

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier? It's very likely those contaminated security guards. They have already become the claws of the real world..."
