Phantasmal Genesis - Chapter 29: A similar world?

A fleet of well-organised police cars drove on the streets, receiving confused comments from the public, did something happen again?

In recent times, the public noticed that the movements of police cars had increased compared to previous years, and it was common to see army men among them.

Could it be, was a war upon them?

Someone thought back to a few days prior. There were gunshots heard from a school, and other than instances of filming, there weren’t any situations when gunshots rang out like this.

The smarter people in the crowd could tell that something was beginning to happen, this city had changed, and this was just the silence before the storm. When it inevitably starts, fear was bound to spread.

The police cars quickly arrived at their destination, and they could see what was going on before they had even gotten off their vehicles.

“Boss, there seems to be a crowd in front?”

Li Shuo had noticed too, his brows furrowed. Was there going to be another problem?

“Chief, those people should be players as well, one of my friends is there.” Wang Yang spoke hurriedly.

This Qian Kun’s group were led here due to the commotion, and Wang Yang who was worried that his actions had caused them unnecessary trouble, was anxious to explain the situation.

Li Shuo’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper, it would be easier if they were normal humans, at least they wouldn’t be able to see the monsters from another world, but if it were players……

Most players ranged from high school to middle school students, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause?

Quickly, the car stopped.

The gathered crowd was pushed aside as Li Shuo led the players specially assembled by the station. The way they could respond to these situations they could not see was through the help of the players they assembled.

A man walked forwards and took a glance in the alleyway.

“Boss, there’s nothing here.”

And before Li Shuo could speak, Qian Kun’s laughter interrupted him, “Chief, I won’t take up your time, my men have already defeated these monsters!” And after he spoke, he gleefully stood there proudly, as if he was waiting for his praise.

He couldn’t be blamed, the last school incident humiliated everyone, but this time, Qian Kun directly handled the situation with his men!

Doesn’t he deserve a compliment at least?

He was doing the country a service! He deserved a plaque at least……

“Who allowed you to do this?” Li Shuo’s voice was stern, and his face was dark.

The other-worlders seemed to have been annihilated, Li Shuo had intended on trying to communicate with them to gather more information. After all, they were intelligent species that were not comparable to the mechanical giant praying mantises that could only fight methodically.

And who could expect them to all be killed like this?

Without noticing the strangeness in Li Shuo’s voice, Qian Kun continued to boast, “Who would be able to order me around? Of course, I did it myself! What is there to talk about when it comes to killing monsters? I’ll kill one when I see one!”

Killing on sight was Qian Kun’s simple thinking, in his eyes, those humanoid monsters were no different from the giant praying mantises that he could decimate easily.

“Why, do I have to get your permission to kill monsters?”

“……”

“Someone’s there!” A part-timer that was observing the situation suddenly shouted as the screen appeared again, allowing for the black-robed men to rush through, they were filled with murderous intent and were wielding their swords.

Li Shuo tensed up, but he also sighed in relief. Despite being unable to see what was going on, he could infer that the black-robed men were here again.

They were lucky, these things can reappear.

“Charge! Kill the monsters! Why are you all just standing there!” Qian Kun excitedly ordered his men loudly.

“Stop them!” Li Shuo quickly interrupted him.

“Who permitted you to kill these monsters!? Stop now!”

The team was stunned, their faces full of confusion as their gaze hesitatingly went from Li Shuo to Qian Kun, before stopping on the police uniform that Li Shuo was wearing.

Everyone had stopped.

The furious Li Quan placed Qian Kun and his team under his control before looking at the part-timer.

“Are the men dressed in black still there? How many of them are there?”

Communicating like this was troublesome, but he had no other choice.

Without replying, the part-timer suddenly shouted, “Dodge! Dog emperor!” (I think that’s the name of his pet.)

And after he spoke, he jumped backwards quickly.

However, he quickly grabbed his left arm and drew a sharp breath.

“Boss, they’re attacking us!” The part-timer explained as he continued to retreat backwards, it was as if he was avoiding something.

“How many of them are there?” Li Shuo asked once again.

“5! Boss, I can’t hold on any longer!” The part-timer was attacked in his left leg, and he fell onto the ground.

Li Shuo gritted his teeth and spoke to Qian Kun and his team, “Was it 5 people just now as well?”

Qian Kun was at a loss, he looked at his underling next to him and spoke, “Yes, there were 5 people just now as well!”

This was problematic! This meant that the five people they killed just now could be the same people as the five now.

If they were the same people, it would practically be impossible for him to gather any useful information from them.

“Capture and bring them back to the police station!”

………

After that, Fang Bei and the rest were led away by the police and locked into interrogation rooms. But before they could decide on how to approach them, the five chose to cut open their necks and take their own lives.

They knew that they could revive endlessly in the tent, and Fang Bei could feel himself getting accustomed to this feeling.

It’s just a matter of restarting! I will definitely kill these monsters and take revenge for all of us!

Returning to the 22nd outpost, Fang Bei opened his eyes to the sight of the familiar ceiling of the tent.

He sighed, was it even possible for them to learn anything if they kept marching to their own deaths like this?

Furthermore, after trying out dying twice, a lot more questions appeared in Fang Bei’s mind.

In that police car, they could see the outside world through the windows. It felt familiar despite its unfamiliarity, it was similar to Tian Hai City!

That’s right, this was Tian Hai City!

The old man had lived in Tian Hai for dozens of years, and he could recognise this place with one glance.

This was baffling for all of them.

If it was a city that was completely identical to Tian Hai, then, would this world have its version of them?

A second Fang Bei? Or another Ji Zhen? Or their parents?

If they met, would it lead to a fight to the death, or………

They chose to stop thinking instead, because they knew that it would definitely lead to a fight to the death!

Sigh!

And after he had sat up, he looked at his surroundings and noticed another eleven people lying on the ground among them?!

“Where is this? Who are all of you? I remember……didn’t I die?”

One of the men crawled up, his eyes filled with disbelief as he jumped for joy.
