The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 265 - 194: The God of Speedrun! _2

"What is that!"

"It's a crescent."

"BS, that's a Hook Jade!" Fang Li exclaimed in shock, "How did you find it!"

"Just picked it up in the bathroom."

Fang Li roared, "Why do I find that so hard to believe!"

This was completely different from his analysis; something as important as a Hook Jade shouldn't have been so easily obtained.

"However…" Fang Li bit his finger, muttering, "Now that we have the Hook Jade, we just need to find a way to use it."

After all, it's an Onmyoji's item, the Onmyoji's notes are still needed to unleash its power.

"I can try that…I'm quite familiar with yin and yang."

"You're an Onmyoji too?"

"Sort of, I used to deal with numerous slanderers online who accused me of cheating."

"That's not what an Onmyoji is!" Fang Li almost lost his temper!

But Su Qi had already put his hands together, slowly setting the Hook Jade in his palms, his pupils chanting, "Yin Yang Jade, flutter with spirit, come forth, reveal the returning soul..."

The voice, calm and rippleless, yet filled with a strange sensation.

At this moment,

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Hook Jade slowly floated up!

Then it released a glowing light!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the darkness, it suddenly shot out from the palm! Violently colliding with the strange force above the door!

Fang Li's expression changed, "Be careful, this noise will definitely attract the Murderer Ghost! Everyone, get ready for battle, it won't let us out so easily!"

"Could it be that the deadly peril of this eighth layer world is here..."

Fang Li had already readied his weapon, gravely stating, "At any rate, make sure to protect him."

Everyone prepared themselves, tense faces watching the surrounding darkness.

Five minutes later,

Fang Li stared dumbfounded as the door swung open before him, the eerie hindrance dissolving around it, the slight ripples seeming to indicate they could escape.

This…

It just opened?

And where was the Murderer Ghost?

They had been ready to fight.

And saw nothing.

Someone murmured:

"The eighth layer... isn't it supposed to be deadly?"

Fang Li ignored the voices of doubt from the crowd, his gaze transfixed on the scene before him.

"No...it shouldn't be like this."

"From the clues I gathered, the stories I learned...it shouldn't be like this."

He was dumbstruck.

At this moment,

Su Qi saw the aurora that had enveloped him was flickering, while the others remained dim, Fang Li had a bit too.

It seemed that the trial still had its standards, also it was merit-based.

That made sense.

Su Qi looked at the crowd, "What, you want to stay and read?"

"It's time to leave…"

The crowd numbly nodded their heads, taking a step out in an instant.

Su Qi took one glance, the ripples carried away everyone's silhouettes, disappearing into the darkness.

"Indeed, the outside world doesn't exist, it's akin to a randomly generated region, possessing a mini version of Paradise styles."

It was really strange.

At this moment, Fang Li didn't move; he still couldn't figure it out, and muttered towards Su Qi,

"What on earth is going on… How did you get those? And why hasn't the Murderer Ghost appeared again!"

"Can you tell me? I'll call you brother! Real brother!"

"Help me understand! Otherwise, I can't figure it out!!"

Su Qi looked at Fang Li, whose eyes were bloodshot. Was this guy still keen on learning?

"I went to the bathroom and found a Hook Jade, which is reasonable, right?"

"While looking for paper to wipe my hands, I found the Onmyoji's notes, which is reasonable, right?"

"I just happened to encounter a weakened Murderer Ghost that had just awakened. I killed it with the Hook Jade, which is reasonable, right?"

"Rea… reasonable…"

Fang Li's eyes widened as he roared, "Reasonable my ass!"

"What kind of luck is that!"

And how could the ninth layer be so easy.

It was completely different from what was recorded in the ancient tomes collected by the family before.

"It's time to go."

But Su Qi looked ahead at the Ripples and said, "I think though everyone's entry and exit times aren't consistent, it's very likely they adjust these during transportation. But who knows how long the Ripple portal will last."

"I'm going ahead."

Su Qi slowly disappeared into the Ripples.

Fang Li clenched his teeth; he really wanted to go back to school to check, believing that if he could find a trace, he could uncover the truth.

But seeing Su Qi move forward, he hesitated for a moment and followed after him.

At this moment, the Ripples were taking Su Qi in, but this time it took longer.

"It finally ended." Su Qi muttered to himself. "This time was quite a challenge."

"..." The Yellow Robed Priest almost choked and said, "Are you even speaking human language?"

"You only saw me quickly solve the source but failed to notice... that there are lethal dangers everywhere. Didn't you notice at all? What use are you?"

The Yellow Robed Priest: "How can I just not believe it?"

"Let's not talk about information for now, after all, those are all from my brain rapidly analyzing." Su Qi said calmly. "But the most important thing is, the Murderer Ghost knew it was weak before entering nighttime, so it did everything possible to hide itself, setting up various defenses and deadly powers on its hiding path."

"And there was also something wrong with the doorknobs in the hidden room, thankfully I was lucky."

Using the Artificial Team's Counterattack, it successfully caused it to malfunction.

"It's just that when I killed it... I didn't handle it well." Su Qi paused. "I didn't think it would absorb so many corpses for being just a ghost, and it could even squirt water to attack, almost splashing me all over."

The Yellow Robed Priest: "....."

Wasn't that just corpse water sprayed by your hammering?

Damn.

Allowing this mortal to act all high and mighty in front of him.

"Stay focused, the seventh layer… is coming." The Yellow Robed Priest said gravely. "Next, it's the main event."

He hadn't finished speaking...

when Su Qi was swept into the Ripples.

-----------------

This time...

Su Qi's consciousness briefly blanked out, and his body's aurora flashed brighter than before. He felt as if he was navigating through a nightmare, distinctly sensing a strong unease approaching from all directions.

Some were whispering, others were watching.

But more than anything, there was a sensation of falling.

Indeed.

The further down, the more intense this feeling became.

Who knows how much time had passed.

Su Qi regained his senses.

Without even opening his eyes, he could feel everything slightly swaying beneath him.

He smelled the moist, fishy scent of the sea at the tip of his nose.

Also, he heard the sound of the waves.

"I'm at the seventh layer now, but it seems like I'm on a ship."

Su Qi slowly opened his eyes; at this moment, he was lying in a room, which looked old and as if it hadn't been cleaned for a long, long time. There was dust everywhere, and the wood was rotten and decrepit.

"And also…"

Su Qi picked up the navigation journal on the table: "This ship… seems quite special, it needs at least fifty people to operate it to be able to sail."

"But now..."

The ship was as silent as a ghost, with only him on board.

Is this the price for speedrunning?
