Chapter 403: All Are People

“Su Shan, there’s no one there.” Zhang Chenze said. “Did you see wrong?”

“See wrong…?” Su Shan slowly widened her eyes, making them blood-red again. The two human-shaped outlines became even clearer. “I didn’t see wrong… there are people standing there…”

Su Shan walked forward one step with a smile on her face. “You can’t see them? A man and a woman standing there. What are they doing…? Why aren’t they moving…?”

Everyone looked at the display screen and the giant clock, feeling somewhat unsettled.

“Hey…” Lin Qin reached out and grabbed Su Shan. “You seem to be experiencing ‘Echo Overload.’ You need to stay clear-headed… Remember that you’re controlling the ‘Echo,’ not the ‘Echo’ controlling you.”

“No… I’m fine…” Su Shan turned her head back to look at Lin Qin, blood tears flowing from her eyes once again. “I can see even more clearly now… I’m re-examining this world…”

Qin Dingdong slowly furrowed her brow. The last time she cooperated with Su Shan, they only operated indoors and she had never taken her outside, so at this moment she wasn’t sure whether Su Shan had gone mad or really saw something.

“Lin Qin… your ‘radiance’ is very warm…” Su Shan continued to smile, reaching out to grasp Lin Qin’s wrist. “The words ‘Awakening’ are floating all around you… like a warm sun…”

Then she looked at Zhang Chenze. “Chenze, the shape of your ‘radiance’ is very special. It floats above your head, drifting with the murky ‘Soul Migration.’ From a distance, you look like a black lighthouse.”

Hearing the words “black lighthouse,” Zhang Chenze’s expression clearly darkened.

“Xiao Shan, you really need to rest for a bit. We don’t really need to know what shape our ‘Echoes’ are right now, but you need to close your eyes for a while.” Qin Dingdong turned to Lin Qin and said, “Old Lin, let’s take her to find somewhere indoors to sit for a while.”

“Okay…” Lin Qin nodded. She had just wanted to pull Su Shan along, but was pushed away by Su Shan again.

Su Shan smiled as she looked around, then spoke. “Have you noticed? There are more and more ‘people’…”

“What ‘people’?” The three also looked around. There were only broken buildings here.

“We’re surrounded by ‘people’…” Su Shan laughed loudly. “Does the ‘Land of the End’ originally have so many people? How lively…”

She slowly walked forward a few steps and came to an old streetlamp, reaching out to touch the lamppost.

“Why aren’t you moving…?” Su Shan asked with a smile. “Have you been standing here for a long time?”

“Su Shan…” Zhang Chenze wanted to go forward and stop her, but was held back by the other two.

“Chenze, it’s useless…” Lin Qin said with a regretful expression. “We can only wait until next time…”

The three people watched Su Shan talking to the streetlamp, all feeling somewhat uncomfortable. If it weren’t for Su Shan’s eyes, they would all be dead in Earth-Dog’s game by now.

But precisely because of these eyes, Su Shan had lost her reason.

“Echoes” that acted on the eyes seemed somewhat different from other “Echoes.”

After all, human curiosity was limitless. Humans wouldn’t pay attention to things they couldn’t see at all. But once they could start seeing blurry outlines, they would want to see them even more clearly with greater effort.

The current Su Shan wanted to see these blurry outlines clearly, and also wanted to see all the “radiance” around her clearly.

She would be killed by these eyes.

“How strange…” Su Shan turned back to look at everyone with a smile on her face. “Did you hear this person speak?”

Everyone noticed that her eyes had turned dark red, looking particularly terrifying.

Zhang Chenze looked at the streetlamp in front of her and shook her head heavily. “Didn’t hear anything.”

“I didn’t hear anything either…” Su Shan’s expression gradually became dazed. “This person keeps opening their mouth, but I can’t hear them speak… I thought my ears were broken too…”

After saying this, she looked carefully at the large number of “people” around her… They all seemed to be talking, but it was completely silent.

“How interesting…” Su Shan paused. “It’s just like watching a television with the sound muted…”

“Old Lin…” Qin Dingdong said in a low voice. “Let me go kill her. This isn’t a solution.”

“Sigh…” Lin Qin sighed. “Do you still have the strength? Su Shan was a police officer before, she must have received training…”

“It’s fine, I’ll go find a rock. Even if she received training, if I smash it directly on her head…”

“What are you… discussing?” Zhang Chenze was stunned.

“Chenze…” Lin Qin looked at her with a furrowed brow. “We’re preparing to send Su Shan on her way. Although it sounds unreasonable, you’ll get used to this kind of thing in the future…”

Zhang Chenze thought carefully. Although it seemed extremely unfair, it was indeed a helpless measure.

If Su Shan continued to survive the remaining six days in this state, it would be torture for her as well.

“In that case, I’ll go…” After pondering for a while, Zhang Chenze said, “You two don’t have enough physical strength to complete this task.”

After saying this, she walked to the side and picked up a rock from the roadside.

The two stared at her blankly, only feeling that this woman was a bit too rational.

Could a normal “novice” be mentally prepared for this at the beginning stage?

Holding the rock, Zhang Chenze quietly came to Su Shan’s back, feeling that this scene seemed familiar yet different.

This time, the person she was going to kill was someone who had been good to her. This feeling was somewhat sad.

“But I’ve already committed murder…” Zhang Chenze gritted her teeth and raised the rock in her hand.

At this moment, Su Shan was facing away from her, slowly raising her head to look at the sky.

After a moment, Su Shan took half a step back and almost bumped into Zhang Chenze.

“What…?” Su Shan looked at the sky with confusion, her expression exceptionally surprised.

Zhang Chenze had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to strike, but still couldn’t control her curiosity and also looked up following Su Shan’s gaze.

There was only an earthy yellow sun in the sky, marked with traces of black lines.

“Look…” Su Shan slowly raised her hand, and the expression on her face also turned into a smile. “It’s really so lively here… there’s even a woman floating in the sky… Why is she floating there?”

Hearing these words, the three people felt a chill run down their backs.

Where was there a person in the sky?

There wasn’t even a single cloud visible in the dark red sky, only a sun hanging there alone.

“Do you want to come down and play…” Su Shan extended both hands in a hugging motion. “Floating so high… isn’t that dangerous?”

As soon as these words fell, Su Shan’s pupils turned pure black, and black blood gradually flowed down her cheeks.

In just a few seconds, her hands dropped down and she collapsed headfirst onto the ground.

Zhang Chenze was startled. She quickly put down the rock in her hand and checked Su Shan’s pulse, discovering that she was already dead.

The display screen in the distance also rang out with a chime, and “Spirit Vision” disappeared.
