Chapter 717 Dimensional Rift
The moment he returned to the real universe, Yue Ji transformed himself into the original courier and handed the Evolution Trustee to his past self.
This is his choice, regardless of experience.
Thinking of this, Yue Ji became helpless. Ultraman Zero left his body and intense pain spread throughout his body. When he was about to reach the highest point, the purple turbulence suddenly got stuck.
With just one step left, Yue Ji would return to the real world.
When he regained consciousness, he felt the cold tiles on his cheeks, the pungent smell of disinfectant penetrated his nostrils, and the fluorescent tubes above his head made an unsettling hissing sound, casting flickering shadows on the pale walls.
Yue Ji struggled to get up and found himself curled up in a fairly clean toilet.
"What are you doing here?"
A hoarse voice came from above. A hunched-backed cleaner stood outside the cubicle, confusion and vigilance mixed in his cloudy eyes.
The light in the toilet flickered back and forth. Yue Ji stood up with the help of the partition. The dizziness forced him to lean against the cold wall. "I'm sorry... I was here when I woke up. May I ask where this is?"
"As you can see." The cleaner knocked the mop handle on the sink next to him. The metal collision sound echoed in the empty toilet. "This is the toilet."
The cleaning staff said so, Yue Ji checked himself, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the Evolution Truster and the Energy Blaster were still there.
At the same time, the cell phone rang inexplicably.
When Yue Ji saw clearly that the note above was Yishilin, his heart sank inexplicably.
After hesitating for a moment, he answered the phone.
Sizzle...sizzle.
There was only distorted electronic noise on the other end of the phone, like some inhuman sobbing. Yue Ji hung up abruptly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Then, he pushed open the toilet door, but what greeted him was not the corridor he expected—
The strange purple light surged in like a tide. The desks and chairs in the classroom were neatly arranged, and the students were doing their normal activities after class, ignoring the purple turbulence surging outside the window.
When Yue Ji turned around, the toilet behind him had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a mottled wall with a blackboard newspaper on it.
After thinking calmly for a moment, Yue Ji guessed that he was caught up in a dimensional turbulence and might be caught between multiple worlds.
He covered his abdomen, the pain was still severe, and an unknown figure broke in front of him.
A girl who looked extremely similar to Ishilin, no...even exactly the same as her, came up and greeted her.
"hello?"
Yue Ji frowned and looked at the other person. After leaving Yi Xin Tong Ti, the negative influence of the past quickly spread throughout his body.
"Hello……"
After responding weakly, Yue Ji looked around again. He had no way to go back for the moment, so he could only find a seat without a book and sit down.
"What's wrong with you? You don't look well."
Yue Ji wanted to brush it off, but he couldn’t hide his current condition at all—his face was pale, he was sweating profusely, and even his breathing was trembling slightly.
"I'm just injured, nothing serious... Where is the exit here?"
Hearing Yue Ji's words, Mu Linlin was a little dumbfounded, "The get out of class hasn't ended yet, what are you talking about? And wait... you look familiar."
Mu Linlin looked at the person in front of her, then asked tentatively.
"You are... Yue Ji?"
"you know me?"
"We met online. Why are you here? No, I should ask you how you got to this place."
Mu Linlin's question made Yue Ji feel dizzy. He ignored her and stood up and walked towards the door.
After pushing open the door of the classroom, what came into view was the city center of Sujing City.
There were tall buildings, busy traffic, and people rushing around. The only difference was that the sky was still filled with purple turbulence, but people seemed to be blind to it and continued to live their lives as usual.
Yue Ji turned around and found that the girl, Mu Linlin, had also walked out. She looked around with wide eyes, her expression gradually changing from confusion to shock.
"Where is this, Yue Ji?" she asked blankly.
Yue Ji was silent for a moment.
"...Su Jing City."
"Ah?" She was even more confused. "How did we get to your house so quickly?"
Yue Ji's head was a little dazed. He half-knelt on the ground, unable to bear the harsh sound in the crack of the passage.
This might be because he had not been able to completely integrate into a certain world, and at this moment this feeling of being torn apart made Yue Ji feel crazy.
Mu Linlin was a little surprised to see Yue Ji like this. She stepped forward and supported Yue Ji. The latter had already lost his senses. When he opened his eyes again, the purple turbulence disappeared.
As the sun sets, the sky is blue, and the clouds are dyed a gentle orange-red. A breeze blows by, and the hustle and bustle of the street can be heard clearly. Everything seems so normal.
Yue Ji blinked, and suddenly realized——
He couldn't see colors anymore.
In his eyes, the world was only gray.
"Damn...this is so annoying."
Yue Ji said helplessly, he took a deep breath and looked around with some melancholy.
His stomach didn't even tremble when he was hungry, which made Yue Ji unable to realize that he was hungry.
Mu Linlin didn't quite understand Yue Ji's current situation. Just when she was about to ask Yue Ji about the situation, the latter actually escaped into a roadside toilet.
Once again, when Yue Ji stepped into this space, everything returned to its original state. The cleaner was still cleaning the floor which could not be cleaner. This time, Yue Ji was confused.
He slumped against the wall, breathing in the fresh air brought by the air exchanger.
The cleaner looked at Yue Ji and said something that didn't make sense.
"You are different from them..."
"what?"
Yue Ji was stunned when he heard this, and the cleaner continued: "You are a very pathetic person... not a bad person, you should not be able to come here."
There was no resentment in his eyes, but instead a kind of pity, "Why did you come here, someone so pitiful..."
Yue Ji slumped in the corner, hesitant to say anything. At this moment, Mu Linlin kicked the door open.
"Huh? Isn't this the women's room?"
Mu Linlin's voice suddenly interrupted. She stood at the door in a daze, first looking at Yue Ji who was slumped in the corner, then looking around - this toilet was almost weirdly clean, the tiles were dazzlingly white, and there was not even a trace of odor in the air. It was like a model room just copied from a design drawing.
Her eyes finally fell on the cleaner and her brows frowned unconsciously.
The increasingly chaotic situation gave Yue Ji a headache. He soon lost consciousness under Mu Linlin's questioning and completely fainted in the toilet.
……
When he woke up again, he was in the toilet cubicle.
This strange change made Yue Ji realize that something was wrong. He quickly became alert and checked himself.
"Into the realm of mind control?"
