Deceitful Game

Chapter 275 Spacetime Paradox

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Amid screams, the direction of gravity in the room suddenly reversed!

Ai Shiping and Chen Bingwen, who had been holding onto the pipes, were alright, but the other four fell straight towards the ceiling.

Mingpo realized something was wrong while still in the air.

If they fall like that, they will most likely land headfirst!

Then they'd be utterly dead!

He forcefully twisted his body and kicked Liao Tinglan and Chu Yunge to the side, one after the other!

Chu Yunge was alright; she reacted quickly and grabbed the pipe tightly. Although she suffered some minor abrasions, she was otherwise unharmed.

However, in her panic, Liao Tinglan failed to hold onto the pipe.

Then it was as if she had slid down a cliff, her arms and face were scraped and bloody, and her screams turned into screams of agony.

But at least he survived.

As for Xiong Ajie... as the company's test subject, he was obviously more resilient than the others.

His body swelled up in mid-air like an inflating balloon, his muscles spreading all over his body.

In addition, since he had almost crawled on the ground while scrambling away, he ended up falling sideways. Xiong Ajie landed first with a loud "bang," hitting the ground solidly. But he didn't die from it; he just let out a painful groan and slowly curled up from a "big" shape into a baby-like position.

Mingpo used the two kicks to adjust her center of gravity in mid-air and landed steadily. She also reached out to catch Liao Tinglan. At that moment, the darkness that had been so close to Mingpo's face suddenly receded rapidly.

The lights came on one by one, gradually increasing in speed, and the passageway was brightly lit again.

But the darkness seemed to be receding faster than the speed at which "something" was moving.

Mingpo clearly saw a blurry figure at the edge of his vision, running away with its back to them!

Without hesitation, he took off chasing after them!

When the space was turned upside down, the air conditioning in the corridor had disappeared without a trace.

It will take some time for them to hang down from the ceiling.

Before that, Mingpo needs to take care of this monster!

His movements were extremely swift. To others, he was just a blurry afterimage.

The indistinct shadow hidden in the darkness became increasingly clear in Mingpo's vision. Its escape speed was no match for Mingpo's pursuit!

Mingpo's face was contorted, his smile ferocious; for a moment, he couldn't tell who the monster was.

In the blink of an eye, he darted across the dividing line between the fifth and sixth carriages.

The number 6 on the sign for carriage number 6 has now become 9 because it has been flipped upside down.

But just then, the shadow suddenly sped up.

Although still not as fast as Mingpo, the speed at which the two were closing the distance between them had slowed down.

The next moment, Mingpo's pupils suddenly contracted!

Even his steps faltered for a moment.

Because the carriage in front should, in theory, be an inverted one.

But now... it has become an ⑧!

...What happened?

Why is carriage number seven missing?

No, not one

Mingpo immediately realized that his understanding was flawed!

He couldn't feel it when he was in carriage number five... because carriage number five looks the same whether it's upright or upside down.

But carriage number six has seats!

but……

Those familiar chairs weren't hanging upside down from the ceiling!

Instead, it was right next to Mingpo, on either side of the corridor they were running down!

Furthermore, although the level of luxury of the seats in each carriage is roughly the same, and it's impossible to tell which carriage you're in just by the style of the chairs, the direction the chairs face is different!

However, the structure of each carriage is subtly different.

This wasn't just carriage number nine... it was also the end from carriage number ten, which served as the dining car, towards carriage number nine!

This train is not a high-speed train that can run from both ends. The "front" of the seat points to the carriage with a smaller number.

When Mingpo and the others came out of the dining car, they only saw the backs of the seats. Conversely, if they were walking from a lower-numbered carriage to a higher-numbered carriage, they would see the front of the seats.

But when Mingpo chased that shadow from carriage number five to carriage number six, all he saw was a seat back!

So the carriage that Mingpo just ran past was not the reversed carriage number 6 at all.

That's the real deal, carriage number 9!

That is

A momentary hesitation arising solely from thinking.

The figure in front suddenly stopped, turned around, and attacked Mingpo!

Mingpo raised his arm and blocked the punch that was like a python striking his left ear!

Arms clashed, producing a dull thud like striking a sandbag.

Evenly matched.

"oh………"

Mingpo's lips curled up: "No wonder."

An enemy appears opposite Mingpo.

It is indeed [Mingpu]!

Or rather...

It was Mingpo carrying the corpse!

"interesting."

On the other side, Mingpo also smiled slightly and casually tossed aside the corpse on his back.

The next moment, the darkness that had enveloped Mingpo completely faded away, and the carriage was once again brightly lit.

Two people appeared beside Mingpo.

Chen Bingwen, and Ai Shiping.

Or rather, what appeared before Mingpo was the same group of people Mingpo had been "ten minutes ago"!

"What's going on?"

Chen Bingwen was greatly surprised.

"Holy crap!" Ai Shiping's eyes widened. "The real and fake Monkey Kings!"

That was undoubtedly the reaction that Chen Bingwen and Ai Shiping should have.

It's not an illusion.

Without a doubt... that's the real deal!

Or rather, it's the real deal from another possibility!

……No wonder.

Mingbo understood.

Therefore, the ultimate enemy is the "paradox engine"!

Think about it carefully, carriage ⑩ is the "dining car", where people are fed; carriage ⑩ should be the "engine room" or "fuel room", where the engine is fueled. These two carriages are unique and symmetrical.

This train doesn't have carriages one through four at all.

Carriages 6 and 9 will be switched due to the "gravity inversion" process!

If a "gravity reversal" occurs in the dining car, then if they walk forward from that upside-down "carriage 9", they will likely not see "carriage 8", but rather the upright "carriage 7"!

"I see!"

A glint of electricity flashed in Mingpo's eyes.

It's an hourglass!

Because after the fuel was refueled, they all gathered at one end of the train, which triggered a gravity reversal, and Mingpo returned to ten minutes earlier, catching up with his past self!

If Mingpo had run a little faster and caught up with the [Darkness] in carriage 9... then what awaited him wouldn't have been Mingpo, his two companions, and a corpse, but all six people and two corpses!

"What do you understand now, you beast!"

On the other side, Mingpo had a ferocious smile on his face and threw a punch without hesitation!

Mingpo instantly activated his prosthetic body, and his entire body appeared as a discontinuous afterimage, constantly retreating backward.

And the opposite [Mingpo] was the same as him... even the frequency of their flashes was exactly the same!

The two disappeared at the same time, and then reappeared at the same time.

Within two seconds, the two appeared in ten different locations and each threw ten punches!

Each flash was a clash of fists.

But every attack and counterattack failed to harm the opponent.

Because by the second encounter, both sides had already understood the principle of "you are me". Every attack was from their own habitual angle, so they knew from which angle their opponent would attack.

however……

"Wait...wait!!"

Ai Shiping seemed to understand something and suddenly shouted.

Without hesitation, he rushed forward and charged into the very center of the battle between the two Minp!

He actually used his own body to try to block the two men's iron fists that could smash through steel plates!

but……

Both of the bright amber actually stopped attacking.
