Chapter 38: The Solution to the Invasion of the Mysterious Fog into the World

Yu Xun avoided Chi Le's gaze.

He opened his mouth, but said nothing except for the intermittent hoarse sounds of air being expelled from his throat.

Yu Xun didn't speak, but nodded.

This can be seen as an admission that one of the responsibilities of the Special Task Force is to deal with demons and evil spirits from these strange worlds.

But Yu Xun still didn't say anything about Lao Wang.

Chi Le did not intend to force Yu Xun to say it aloud.

He changed the subject.

"Since you won't talk about Old Wang's situation, shouldn't you at least tell us what the current situation is?"

They were swept into the suddenly appearing eerie fog.

Chi Le could return to Qingshan Temple by opening the door.

However, the conditions for using this door are very limited.

It allows Chi Le to step from the mortal world into the mysterious Qingshan Temple.

But to return from Qingshan Temple to the bizarre world, he cannot choose where to land.

The only option is to return to the location where you were before entering Qingshan Temple.

In other words, at night, Chi Le called out the door from his bedroom and entered Qingshan Temple.

Therefore, when he returns to the real world from Qingshan Temple through the door, he can only return to his bedroom, not to any other place in the real world.

If he were to step through the gate now, enter Qingshan Temple, and then come out, Chi Le wouldn't know whether he would end up on Changxing Street or in this swampy area.

In that case, he needs more intelligence.

Regarding the sudden appearance of this eerie fog and the emergence of this bizarre world, which caused the two worlds to overlap and form this area, I need to know how to leave.

Yu Xun remained silent in the face of Chi Le's question.

"You'll need to tell me something eventually; there's still something I can do to help."

"If I'm still as clueless as I am now, then I'll have to rely on you all by myself."

"Are you saying you're confident you can protect me all by yourself in this area teeming with monsters, and also go rescue the others?"

Chi Le spoke up.

He knew Yu Xun's personality well; if you tried to force him, it would be difficult to get anything out of him.

But if you try a softer approach, you can always get some scoops.

Yu Xun took Chi Le's words to heart.

"Chi Le is right. This incident of the mysterious fog invading the present world has covered a considerable area."

"There must be a lot of people involved."

"It's true that I have a fish-killing knife and superpowers, but to save everyone by myself... is impossible."

Thinking of this, Yu Xun's eyes darted around.

He came up with an idea!

"Chi Le, I really can't do it alone."

Yu Xun sheathed his short sword, his expression turned serious, and he spoke.

"I still won't talk about Lao Wang's situation."

"But in order for both of us to get out of here alive, and for me to save more people, I really need your help."

"I'll briefly explain the situation to you, but you must promise not to mention it to anyone!"

Yu Xun raised his arm and extended his clenched fist.

Chi Le clenched his fist and gently bumped into it.

"You can think of where we are now as the back room."

"That's right, it's the back room, a back room with various physical forms."

Yu Xun grinned, feeling that his method was a stroke of genius.

As long as we don't mention the bizarre world, the mysterious fog, or demons and evil spirits.

However, using other, existing things in the present world as a reference conveys the same meaning.

This would both prevent Chi Le from learning about the existence of the bizarre world and allow Chi Le to know the current situation.

Let's work together to deal with this strange fog invading the world!

I really am a genius!

Yu Xun praised himself inwardly, a smile curving his lips, and continued speaking.

"Once you fall into the back room, there's no point in thinking about escaping outside or to the border."

"No one can escape. No one can escape before this back room disappears. No matter which direction you run, you will return to the starting point."

"So, the only way to get out is to fight your way out of the back room."

Yu Xun paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on the only high ground in this flat, muddy land.

"Only by eliminating the entity that brought us to this back room can we return to the real world."

Chi Le ignored the fact that no one could escape.

He understood everything Yu Xun said.

It's simply a matter of turning the back room into a bizarre world.

"In other words, the current situation is indeed caused by a bizarre world appearing in the present world, resulting in this area of ​​the two worlds overlapping."

"To escape this area, or more precisely, to separate this illogical region of two worlds and make it normal again."

"Once we eliminate the BOSS that originally occupied this swamp in the bizarre world, the two merged worlds can be separated."

Having figured out the ins and outs of the matter and knowing how to leave this fusion zone and return to the real world, Chi Le felt much more comfortable.

But there's one more thing...

"So, Yu Xun, are you confident you can eliminate the entity that brought this back room?"

Chi Le asked.

"Forehead……"

Yu Xun was successfully stumped by Chi Le's question.

All things considered, he was just a newcomer who had only entered the bizarre world three times.

He hasn't even managed to shed the title of "not yet in the first rank" and advance to the first rank.

With his current strength, if he doesn't use his supernatural abilities...

At best, he could only manage a back-and-forth fight with a well-trained professional boxer.

It looks good, but it's still far from enough to face the gatekeeper boss of this fusion area.

"After so much time, the Special Affairs Bureau colleagues should have already reacted, and it won't be long before they come in."

"Then the physical entities guarding the gate will be handed over to them."

"We need to go rescue them first."

"OK."

Chi Le nodded.

At this moment, the man had already pulled his girlfriend out of the mud, and the two of them came to Chi Le and Yu Xun.

The couple, who had been rescued by Chi Le and Yu Xun, kept bowing and nodding in gratitude.

"Thank you... thank you! I can't even imagine what would have happened without you..."

Yu Xun didn't say much to the couple as he did to Chi Le.

Instead, he took out his identification from his pocket.

"Special Affairs Bureau handling the matter."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand the current situation. Just know that you either stay where you are and wait for rescue, or you follow us closely."

Without facing Chi Le, Yu Xun displayed the demeanor of a special affairs bureau employee.

It could be because of the identification in Yu Xun's possession, or it could be because Yu Xun had just killed the six-legged toad, which was almost invincible to them, right before their eyes.

Yu Xun suddenly became their pillar of support.

The couple shook their heads repeatedly, without asking any further questions about the current situation, and said...

"We won't stay put; we'll stick with you!"

Just kidding, what if those monsters reappear if we stay where we are?

Chi Le and Yu Xun used the distant high ground as the center and wandered around the perimeter of this fusion area.

Before long, a number of trembling people had gathered behind them.

The growing team came to a halt.

A group of people walking towards them also stopped in their tracks.

There were about ten people, led by a middle-aged man with a toothpick in his mouth who looked nonchalant.

When he saw that the other group had also arrived, he leaned down slightly, looking somewhat wary.

But upon seeing Yu Xun's face, he waved.

"Second Brother Yu, what are you doing here!"
