Chapter 34 Can't Turn Back
"Be careful, don't bump into each other!"

"Keep moving forward and never look back."

"Don't panic, it will be fine if you don't look back."

In the alleyway covered with colorful mist, the three people tried to forget their fears, encouraged each other, and supported each other to move forward.

Su Chen followed them quietly, feeling half uneasy and half excited, because the calamity in the consciousness space was skyrocketing.

There's something really weird here!

But where?

He looked around the alley carefully and saw no strange traces. He even looked back several times and couldn't see anything.

Could it be that the legend that Tongyou Lane cannot turn back is a fabrication?
go on.

As long as you keep moving forward, sooner or later something strange will appear.

A few people continued to move forward cautiously, but they only felt that the alley here was getting longer and longer, as if it would never end.

Not only that, the interlaced alleyway of light and darkness in front also blurred the color, showing a darkness like twilight.

Dark and speckled with bright light.

Chen Gang and others were already in a state of fear. This state was extremely physically demanding, and coupled with the constant walking, they soon became exhausted and sweating profusely.

Under the double torture of mental and physical strength, Sun Xiaohong's mentality finally collapsed and she started crying and yelling:

"Woo! Can't we get out?"

The girl's crying voice was twisting and turning in the alleyway, as if there were many of her talking one after another.

"Who would have thought that this place is really weird." Chen Gang dragged her forward and sighed in annoyance:
"We have always been safe before, damn it! Shouldn't urban legends be made up?"

"I will definitely be able to get out." Lan Wen said breathlessly:

"Since there is an urban legend about Tongyou Lane, someone must have walked out of it."

"That's right!" Chen Gang and Sun Xiaohong nodded at the same time.

Encouraged by her companions, the girl stopped crying and followed them forward silently.

After 10 minutes, they finally felt that the alley was getting closer and closer to them.

There was a beautiful night sky with shining stars, but the boundary between heaven and earth was not visible, let alone the earth.

The three of them had a sense of spatial confusion at the same time. They felt that they were not walking forward, but walking vertically upward.

But gravity told a few people that they were indeed moving forward.

As they got closer and closer to the blue starry sky at the entrance of the alley, the three of them moved slower and slower because the sense of spatial confusion became stronger and stronger.

Even so, they did not dare to look back and could only bite the bullet and continue moving forward.

50 m.

30 m.

ten meters.

As the distance to the alley got closer and closer, the despair in the hearts of Chen Gang and others also doubled.

Because the alley is really connected to a blue starry sky.

The stars all over the sky were shining brighter than ever before, and heterochromatic glare hit our faces like a tide.

In this starry sky, they also saw a huge blue planet.

Next to the blue planet, there is a gray-white satellite suspended, the size of which is about one-sixth of the former.

The astronomy knowledge at the compulsory education level tells them that it is the mother planet on which human beings live - the earth.

"How could this happen!?" Sun Xiaohong fell to her knees in despair, trembling all over, and then burst into tears.

Chen Gang also collapsed on the ground, as if he was seriously ill, but he was panting violently as if he was on the verge of suffocation.

Lan Wen was not in the mood to comfort his companions at this time. He just stared at the starry sky with empty eyes, as if there was a hole in his chest, and a chilly feeling rushed straight into his heart.

If the earth can be seen through the alleyway, then where are they now?

If we continue walking, will we walk into space in despair?
According to the rules, there is no turning back. According to the content of urban legends, it is speculated that once you turn back, a terrifying unknown creature will appear.

If they can't advance or retreat, won't they starve to death here? ?
"Look back, we will die if we don't!" Sun Xiaohong cried and shouted: "I would rather be eaten by monsters than float in space forever."

"Look back, the content of the urban legend may be deliberately misleading us." Chen Gang said weakly:

"The way to survive may be to turn back. The creator wrote the opposite, probably wanting us to die in the alley."

"It's possible." Lan Wen nodded.

"Then, let's go back together!" Sun Xiaohong suggested while choking.

"Okay!" Chen Gang and Lan Wen agreed in unison.

Several people looked at each other, then took a deep breath and turned their heads at the same time.

Three pairs of eyes met dozens of eyeballs that were bunched together like fish roe.

Dozens of eyeballs were clustered together like fish roe, hanging on the face of a human male the size of a basin.

The owner of this face is a black monster with a head and body length of about five meters, lying on the ground.

The outline of the monster's head and body are similar to those of the human body, but the sides of the torso are covered with thick human legs, making it look like a spider lying on the dirty ground in the alley.

The moment Chen Gang and others turned back to look at it, the unknown creature's facial muscles twisted and stretched, revealing a terrifying and sinister smile.

……

Weirdness emerged.

About 20 meters apart, Su Chen watched the entire process in the shadows.

The moment the three spirit detectives looked back, something strange appeared out of thin air.

As for why the weirdness didn't appear when he turned back, he speculated that it was because a person who turned back could not meet the conditions to trigger the killing mechanism.

Now that the target has appeared... then!
The molten golden light instantly enveloped Su Chen.

Sigh——————!
Within the light splashed by the arc, Su Chen carefully looked at his right hand and witnessed countless precision mechanical parts instantly covering his palm.

At the same time, a cold metallic luster appeared on his skin, and streams of light followed the metal pit lines of his limbs, extending toward his chest and pouring into the rotating sun wheel-shaped patterns on his chest.

The next moment, a platinum-gold mask covered Su Chen's face.

Deep in the flames and light, metal vibrating sounds similar to those of mechanical assembly. Gears rotated, armor plates overlapped, and his slender and powerful body was gradually covered by ferocious golden armor.

The moment he entered combat mode, he stood on the spot and bent his knees, then turned into a golden afterimage and rushed toward the monster, leaving a twisted trajectory of light in the air.

……

The next moment the strange thing appeared, an extremely dark atmosphere spread. The ground in that section of the alley quickly rotted, and the walls on both sides were covered with mold.

Chen Gang and others were so frightened that their faces were distorted and their minds went blank.

The huge fear overwhelmed everything, preventing them from even thinking of escaping.

Besides, there is nowhere to escape here.

Wei stared at the three of them, and in his eyeballs piled up like fish roe, the green light became brighter and brighter.

In the eyes of Lan Wen and others, the monster's eyeballs seemed to be pierced with countless glowing glasses, and black liquid like tears kept flowing down.
