Chapter 59 Rescue

"Doctor," the fat man's throat bobbed as he said anxiously, "Aren't we leaving yet?"

In his opinion, Chen Yao's disappearance signified the end of the mission.

And the time the door remained open... was limited.

If they didn't pass through the door and return to their world within the allotted time, they would be trapped forever.

He had discussed this issue with Jiang Cheng.

What would happen if they were left behind?

Jiang Cheng was wearing headphones at the time, furtively watching something on the computer, seemingly very excited, so his attitude toward the fat man was perfunctory.

"You'll be erased by an unknown force..."

These were Jiang Cheng's exact words.

His reasoning was that the past could not be changed, so the only thing that could be altered was them suddenly entering that world. And the easiest way to change things was to erase them without a trace.

When he said the word "erase," the fat man shuddered involuntarily. He licked his lips and asked softly, "Then the method of erasure is..."

"I don't know," Jiang Cheng said. "Maybe you'll suddenly ascend to heaven while walking, turning into ashes. Of course, if you're lucky, maybe you'll leave behind a corpse."

"A disfigured one," he added.

"Are you talking about... Fan Li?"

The fat man suddenly remembered seeing Fan Li's lost and found items in the newspaper when he left the mission for the first time. His body was on it too, but his face was unrecognizable.

"Okay," Jiang Cheng took off his headphones and gave the fat man the order to leave. "Don't bother me, I'm studying."

The fat man reluctantly patted his butt, stood up, and asked casually as he left, "Doctor, are you watching videos about how to treat psychological disorders?"

"Something like that," Jiang Cheng replied, staring at the computer with great interest. "But I'm mainly learning the moves."

"Moves?"

The fat man turned back, puzzled.

Jiang Cheng suddenly sat up straight, his whole demeanor becoming serious. "After all, you all know I'm the top dog. I have to use my flashy moves to nourish the barren hearts of the young ladies who love me!"

Hearing this, the fat man was stunned for a while, then turned around and walked towards Jiang Cheng. "Doctor, I also want to learn, after all, my childhood dream was to be a glorious psychiatrist..."

As time passed, the fat man became increasingly anxious, until he noticed Yu Wen stop.

He couldn't understand what Yu Wen was doing.

Wasn't she anxious to leave?

The distance between them wasn't too far or too close. The fat man wanted to shout a few questions at her, but Jiang Cheng stopped him with a look.

After all... only Chen Yao and Su Yu had disappeared.

And on the stage, there were still 15 strange figures with their backs to them.

They lowered their heads, motionless and silent.

"Mr. Hao," Yu Wen turned around and called out to Jiang Cheng in a voice that the latter could hear, "The door is about to disappear, hurry up and come over."

"Doctor, we..."

The fat man's voice stopped abruptly when he met Jiang Cheng's eyes.

Jiang Cheng's gaze didn't carry a threat, but it made him understand that he needed to shut his mouth now, immediately!

Then Jiang Cheng shifted his gaze, looking in another completely unimportant direction. The panicked fat man subconsciously followed his gaze.

It was a mirror.

Through the mirror, in the music room at the corresponding location to the dance classroom 10 years ago, a metal door also appeared.

A pitch-black door enveloped in a faint, ghostly light.

The fat man slowly widened his eyes.

At this time, Yu Wen also noticed the abnormality of Jiang Cheng and the fat man. Her original plan was to lure them over, after all... the "actors" separating the two groups looked wrong.

According to her guess, the "actors" would only allow the person carrying Su Yu to leave safely, and would not hesitate to kill anyone else who approached.

But now...

Just as she shifted her gaze and turned to look at the location where Jiang Cheng and the fat man were looking, her line of sight was blocked.

It was a figure with his back to her.

Relatively tall.

The white suit was covered in bloodstains.

She almost immediately realized who it was.

Zhen Jianren...

The next second, the doubt in Yu Wen's eyes was slowly washed away by fear.

How could he be here?

Shouldn't he be standing with the other "actors," behind her?

A scene like ripples in water reappeared.

Under Jiang Cheng's guidance, the fat man once again passed through the mirror and returned to the current music room.

The door... was close at hand.

Moreover, this door gave the fat man a completely different feeling. In short, it immediately made him realize that this door was the real one.

Only by passing through this door could they return to their world.

The door in the mirror... was fake.

That was the last and most deadly trap.

He slowly swallowed his saliva, his gaze uncontrollably looking towards the mirror. The door had already been opened, and Yu Wen, who had opened the door, was lying on the ground.

Crawling backwards on her hands and feet.

The fear in her eyes was almost solidified.

After she realized the abnormality of Zhen Jianren, she immediately ran towards the door.

But what she didn't expect was that the moment she opened the door, she was not facing that familiar home, but... Zhen Jianren with his back to her.

How could it be?

She was completely stunned. How could he be in the door?

Then the one behind her...

"Puchi!"

A sharp pain spread rapidly throughout her body along her ankle. Zhen Jianren in the door held a cane upside down, like a spear, instantly piercing Yu Wen's ankle.

The precise and swift movements were far superior to Yu Wen, who was born a killer.

Fresh blood splattered out, and a drop happened to fall into Yu Wen's eyes, like a speck of cinnabar falling on rice paper.

After falling to the ground, Yu Wen crawled backwards like crazy. Zhen Jianren was still standing with his back to her, following her unhurriedly, just like a person walking backwards, the scene as eerie as a horror movie.

The arm holding the cane rotated in a reverse joint, the mechanical movements making no sound.

"Puchi!"

The other ankle was also pierced, the sound of bone cracking was piercing.

"Ah! Ah ah...!"

Screams rang out one after another. Yu Wen's endurance was far beyond that of ordinary people, so the pain she was facing at this moment must be unimaginable.

Through the mirror, she noticed the fat man and Jiang Cheng. When she saw the door outside the mirror, she naturally understood that she had chosen the wrong path.

"Save me!" Yu Wen wailed in pain, her originally heroic face filled with despair. She crawled towards the mirror, her words slurred with blood in her mouth, "Please... please save me!"

A mirror separated two periods of time, and the two could only see what was happening in the mirror, but could not hear any sound.

"Doctor!" The fat man exclaimed, "The mirror... in the mirror..."

His shoulder was pushed hard.

"You go first," Jiang Cheng said, "I'll go save her."
