The knocking on the door grew louder and louder.
On the anti-theft security door, there were protruding marks, and the door was on the verge of collapsing.
The person outside was indeed displaying her superhuman powers.
Bai Yu buried his head in the questions and did not give his attention to the breaking door. At this speed he was going, the door should be able to hold on for a while.
However, the worst thing happened.
Black mist kept invading through the crack of the door, spreading across the ground and walls like water flowing downstream.
The ground and walls were rapidly aging where the mist was eroding, revealing signs of withering, yellowing, and collapsing.
“The pseudo-world…”
His expression was unsightly as he recalled the relevant knowledge points he knew.
The second volume and third chapter of the Mysticism program — the pseudo-world was a domain-like palace formed by the evolution of all strange objects, aberrations, and extraordinary creatures.
The pseudo-world could change the surrounding environment. As the creator controlled it with their mind, once humans were involved in the pseudo-world, their survival rate would not be less than one percent.
When the interior of this place falls, his life would end as well.
This f*cking world, what he was afraid of was coming true.
“I’ve lived a peaceful life for three years. I’ve only seen strange and abnormal things in the Blue Daily. I just had to meet them at this critical moment to unlock the golden finger. Why am I this unlucky?”
Bai Yu thought about it and could not find a reason why at all.
“Could it be related to my golden finger?”
Bai Yu focused his attention. The translucent box appeared, but there was now an additional sentence under it.
[Novice Mission: Finish the remaining thirteen Mysticism questions before 12 p.m. tonight.]
F*ck! Sure enough, the times where it mattered the most, trouble comes along!
Bai Yu slammed the table. He only wanted to finish the questions peacefully and leave. Was there anything wrong with that?
There was no time to overthink and complain.
The appearance of the pseudo-world forced him to change his initial plan.
Because of the black mist spreading, any iron that came into contact with it rusted. Who knew when it would turn into a pile of scrap metal. Bai Yu rolled up the book and stuffed it securely into his waistband. He walked into the utility room and pulled out a climbing rope.
The second one was half-price at the shop.
His best friend, who loved to show off, bought one, and Bai Yu had no choice but to take the other one.
He fixed the climbing rope.
Bai Yu stepped on the windowsill, step by step on the wall of the building, and climbed down.
This was his last resort.
If he missed, he would probably be hung in the air by the climbing rope, waiting to die, but it was desperate times, so he had to make do.
After descending two stories, an explosion sounded above Bai Yu’s head.
It was the sound of the door being broken through.
A thick black mist spread to the window at a speed visible to the naked eye. The entire room suddenly dimmed, and the flowing darkness engulfed Bai Yu’s residence.
“The pseudo-world is about to be fully activated. As time passes, it will continue to grow stronger!
“What did this woman come into contact with before she died?”
Bai Yu’s expression was solemn.
Extraordinary incidents that happened in the city were usually caused by extraordinary artifacts or some strange beings that were hidden in the shadows.
In class, his teacher had mentioned more than once how to deal with these odd situations. The first thing to do was to run. It would naturally be best if one could escape the coverage of the extraordinary incidents.
If he could not escape… Then he would try to reduce his sense of existence and try to survive on rations.
According to the expansion speed of the pseudo-world, Bai Yu would definitely be swallowed by it before he could climb down the stairs.
Therefore, he could not run using that pathway. He would die anyway. Bai Yu gritted his teeth and stepped on the air-conditioner. His hands grabbed the raised lines on the wall.
From afar, he looked like a human-shaped toad sticking on the wall. At this moment, he did not dare to breathe loudly.
The ear-piercing sound of metallic friction rang in his ears. A figure covered in black mist stood at the window of the house. A pure evil and depraved aura emanated from its body.
Bai Yu could not see its appearance clearly. Its entire face was blurry, and only its pair of eyes emitted a scarlet light.
From its rough outline, it could be deduced that it really was the female streamer next door.
Its scarlet eyes kept looking around, as if it was looking for Bai Yu. After a moment, it slowly left the window, but the darkness that was like a tide spread out in all directions.
It spread from one floor to two floors!
Bai Yu did not have time to dodge and was trapped in the pseudo-world.
The moment he entered the pseudo-world, his surroundings turned completely dark and cold. The air was filled with dense black mist, and he could not see any further than ten meters away. The pseudo-world was terrifyingly quiet, not even the sound of a pin dropping could be concealed here.
“It’s a panic-level disaster. The entire residential area will be covered in this pseudo-world!”
Bai Yu’s heart sank.
Although he did not know why the creature had left, he knew very well that once ordinary people were involved in such extraordinary incidents, there would be less than ten percent of them left alive.
“Many of the tenants in the neighborhood have never taken courses in occult studies.
“The extraordinary incidents that they know of mostly come from newspapers, news, live streaming platforms, and random videos being spread out. They may not even realize that they are currently involved in an extraordinary incident.”
Bai Yu knew very well what would happen in this neighborhood.
However, he could not move recklessly at the moment. Otherwise, it would cause unpredictable changes. If this situation was more serious than it seemed, any small mistake would cause him his life.
Bai Yu stood on the air-conditioner and waited for a minute. He did not know his next plan of action.
It seemed that the being had already gone far away. Although the pseudo-world was still expanding to the entrance of the neighborhood, he held on.
However, Bai Yu was sure that he was safe now.
That was because he saw a black shadow appear in another building just now. Then, all the lights in the entire building were extinguished, followed by more than ten screams.
Someone had been killed!
Based on that, he knew that the being was not in this building.
Bai Yu touched his waist and took out the exercise book that was rolled up into a ball. “I can’t shout or run. I should just quietly finish my mission. Nothing can stop me from leaving, not even this.”
…
A long yellow police tape has been set up outside the residential area.
The police cars that were full of gears stopped at the entrance of the residential area and blocked the road. The police officers in uniforms were evacuating the residents of the surrounding residential areas.
“Chief, it has been confirmed that the aberrations inside have a boundary. There are serious casualties!”

The chief was a middle-aged bald man named Zhou He.
“Where are investigators? Have they not arrived yet? The efficiency of the Ping Yi Company should not be this slow!” Zhou He stared at the black mist that constantly spread in the neighborhood. In a short moment, it had already enveloped the entire area and even corroded the sky above.
This was a major supernatural incident that is appearing in the city district. It was likely that his name would be strewn all over the place should word get out of his potential failure. His dismissal was a small matter. If he really lost control, he might not even be able to keep his head intact.
Just as he was about to make a call to urge the person to get them… A flying car appeared in his field of vision and stopped at the entrance of the residential area at an extremely fast speed.
A woman wearing a floral shirt jumped out of the car and walked into the residential area without looking back. “Guard the surrounding area and set up a magnetic field to isolate the boundary. Don’t let the boundary spread out of the residential area..”
