Chapter 303: The Terrifying Gaze from the Otherworld, Conversation between Wu Youqing and the Little Girl (4K)_2
Moreover, it possessed the means to descend across worlds.
Xue Jing's gaze grew heavy, and he didn't choose to flee, instead, he waited quietly in place for the arrival of this unknown otherworldly creature.
Although he sensed danger, he had many tricks up his sleeve and did not fear it, even if he couldn't overcome it, it didn't matter.
For now, the most important thing was to understand the situation.
What if it truly came from the Otherworld specifically to find him… then, when did this happen?
He had previously chatted with a taxi driver and learned about the 'Boundary Shock' phenomenon frequent in the unfinished building area of the South District. This has been going on for over a decade, at a time when it wasn't even clear if Xue Jing had been born yet.
And the formal development of the area as one that could experience overlapping at any time was only about four or five months ago.
"Wait a minute."
Xue Jing suddenly felt a jump in his heart.
How many years was it, exactly, tens of years ago?
He took out his cell phone, opened a search engine website, and began to search.
He entered keywords like 'Qingcheng', 'South suburban area', 'Boundary Shock', and 'unfinished building'.
Quickly, skipping some irrelevant information and advertisements, he found an article titled 'Jiaozi Group's new development area confirmed as high-frequency Boundary Shock region'.
Without looking at the specific content, Xue Jing went straight to the publication date of the news.
June 21, 250.
It was... five days after Xue Jing's birth date. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
In an instant, a chilling sense of dread crept up from the soles of his feet and gradually spread throughout Xue Jing's body.
"Is this a coincidence... or..."
Xue Jing's pupils contracted.
If it was a coincidence, so be it... but it was just too coincidental.
Right after he was born, this region became a high-frequency Boundary Shock zone, and now, at the heart of this region, some filthy thing targeting him was about to descend to this world.
Xue Jing couldn't help but think further.
"BOSS mentioned that entities located in different worlds find it extremely troublesome to interfere with each other, even a superstring entity like the Heretic God has very limited influence over the real world."
"If an otherworldly entity targeted me a long time ago, wanting to do something to me, then beginning preparations from the moment I was born until now, just barely managing to interfere with the real world... it's a strong possibility."
The more Xue Jing thought, the more horrified he felt.
He steadied his spirit and adopted a grave expression.
"Regardless, whether this is truly the case or simply an overactive imagination... There's only one thing to do now."
He looked at the black circular hole that had expanded to the size of a fist, locking eyes with that eerie eye on the other side.
"Try to gather as much information as possible from this thing."
An entity from another world had set its sights on him since his birth.
This possibility subjected Xue Jing to the sensation of a thorn in his back for the first time.
Since he had obtained the panel and activated his first Divine Skill, he had always felt that as long as he developed steadily, in time, he would stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine, despite his mortal body.
But now, it seemed things were never safe to begin with.
The Secret Martial Society, the Thirteen Great Families, the Heretical God Cult, and such major forces harbored malice toward him, but Xue Jing had never truly worried about them from start to finish.
One reason was that he had a mountain to lean on; another was his firm belief in his destiny to overwhelm them with his personal might, having ample confidence in his future.
But what targeted him this time was different.
It was an entity capable of crossing the distance between two worlds, one that might have had its sights on him for over a decade, from the moment of his birth.
Xue Jing felt as though he had become entangled in something terrifying.
"I can't remain ignorant about this; I must find a way to get enough information, or I'll have no initiative at all."
Xue Jing sat cross-legged, waiting in silence for the creature on the other side of the black hole to arrive.
This would be his only possible source of information for the time being.
Time slowly passed.
...
Qingcheng University, the seventh floor of the library.
Wu Youqing, uncharacteristically, was not reading but stood by the window on the attic level, quietly looking in the direction of the South District.
Her hands were clasped behind her back, one hand gripping the wrist of the other, and her light purple eyes revealed contemplation.
```
Through the cracks of the window, a match burned fiercely, its red and blue flames seeming to burn more intensely than ever before.
Dimly, a tiny, almost invisible shadow clung to Wu Youqing's side, its hands resting against the window, seemingly also looking in the direction of South City.
"...mercy...omnipotent...forgotten...&..."
The petite figure emitted a faint, intermittent voice, mixed with a lot of noise, making it hard to discern.
Yet Wu Youqing seemed to hear it very clearly, she shook her head and said,
"I can't leave here for now, he'll have to rely on himself... don't worry, this is just the beginning, by my estimation, he should be able to solve it with ease."
"...hesitation...mom...begging...dad..."
Wu Youqing rolled a strand of her long hair in front of her and said,
"According to what you said before, the future will be narrowed down to a relatively small number of possibilities, the chance of him having problems right now is about as likely as the universe being destroyed in the next second, so why worry?"
"...the most...dad...don't want..."
Wu Youqing sighed, "...if you are really born, I will never let him raise you, we'll see how things go when you grow up."
The tiny figure seemed anxious upon hearing this, and the noise it made suddenly increased,
"...can't...I want...no...no...dad...doesn't agree...he's the most...far...marry..."
Wu Youqing, expressionless, "You can even say things like that, it seems my decision is correct."
"...no...begging..."
Wu Youqing snorted, "Dream on."
"...I want...Wanwan aunt..."
Wu Youqing let out an emotionless chortle, "Nobody can help you."
Indistinctly, the petite figure seemed to emit a sporadic, plaintive wail.
Wu Youqing rubbed her temples with a bit of a headache, a trace of helplessness showing on her delicate face,
"...forget it, I feel this won't do either, it might cause more problems if we meet when you're grown up."
She pondered, "Perhaps it would be better to find a way for you to be born male, at least then there would be no issues on his side..."
The petite figure stopped its plaintive crying, seemingly smiling,
"...absolutely...not denying...admitting...none..."
Wu Youqing was taken aback for a moment, a tinge of shyness on her face, she glared at the tiny figure,
"You've twisted my words!"
...
"Thump—thump—"
Regular, strange tremors began to emanate from the center of the unfinished building area's black hole.
Now, as time passed, the black hole that was originally the size of a fist had expanded to nearly a meter in diameter.
Strangely, when the black hole was small, the eye inside was about the same size as the black hole, but now that the hole has grown to a meter in diameter, the eye has proportionally become about a meter wide as well.
Xue Jing glanced at the detection equipment that hadn't been taken by White Crow members, which showed [ER:68.61%].
After thinking for a bit, he snapped his fingers, and a black stream of air condensed in the shadows, transforming into a two-meter long pitch-black greatsword, floating next to him.
Applying Feather Transformation, channeling Power, he then used the Mahayana Flying Sword Carrying Technique to execute the "Mystic Art·Vital Point".
Xue Jing pointed a finger, and the pitch-black greatsword disappeared in an instant, breaking the sound barrier with its supersonic speed, heading straight for the eye in the black hole.
"Guh—"
After the greatsword contacted the eye, it was as if piercing water, creating only slight ripples before being swallowed up by the black hole, disappearing without a trace, the eerie eye remaining unscathed.
Inexplicably, the upper and lower eyelids of that eye moved closer together, as if it were smiling.
Mocking.
"Damned thing," Xue Jing laughed as well.
"Alright, I'll wait here for you to come over."
Xue Jing stretched out his right hand, gripping the void, and pulled out the Zhao Ye Blade from the intangible.
"Ano Ano Shuatum (Me and I, never apart)."
Amid the sacred Word Spirit, a red glow gathered, and the majestic Two-faced God Child slowly materialized behind him, indifferent yet compassionate, like a divine being guarding Xue Jing.
