Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Do you have any idea what this is?"

"A colorful energy film that is more than one meter by two meters."

"Isn't that the same as not saying anything?!"

"That's nonsense! I've never seen this thing before. But judging from the worn ground next to it, it's only about one centimeter thick. I really can't figure out what this thing is."

"Maybe it's a portal? After all, the scientific expedition team members who first entered here, as well as the group of soldiers who just entered here, are all gone."

"Then why not just put your hand in and try it."

"Don't!"

Gloria thought of the soldier who had become strange before, but before she could reach out to stop Han Zu, he had already reached the location of the energy film. However, after Han Zu touched the energy film, nothing happened at all.

"What's going on? This thing has no texture at all. It feels like my hand is not touching anything."

Han Zu withdrew his hand and checked it carefully. There was nothing unusual. Gloria was also very curious about this situation, so she also stretched her hand into the energy film. The result was the same. Neither the energy film nor herself showed any abnormal reaction. And just as Han Zu said, the energy film seemed to be completely non-existent and no different from air.

"What if we try to output energy to this energy film?"

“It’s an idea.”

Han Zu and Gloria sent some energy to the colorful energy film, but there was still no response. Gloria suggested that Han Zu use his ability to absorb energy to try to see if he could absorb the energy film, but when Han Zu did that, not only was the energy film completely unmoved, it even seemed to grow a little bigger. The feeling Han Zu got made his face look very strange.

"What's that expression on your face? How are you feeling?"

"Have you ever eaten air?"

"What kind of description is this?"

"I can use the ability to absorb energy on this energy film, which means that what we thought was right. This is indeed an energy film. But I didn't absorb even a little bit of energy. It's like I'm eating air. Do you understand what I mean?"

"... Not really, but I can roughly understand what you mean. If we use an energy detection instrument as an analogy, it can detect energy reactions, but in fact there is no energy where the energy reaction occurs?"

"That's what I mean."

"But those people did disappear after entering the pyramid. Could it be that we didn't react because we are completely different from them?"

"I'm not sure, but it's possible. So, there are a lot of equipment in the temporary camp outside. Let's go find some suitable equipment and bring it in to test here."

"Let's go then."

Just as the two of them stood up and left the vicinity of the energy film, Han Zu suddenly felt something touching him. He thought it was Gloria, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But at this time, what Gloria said immediately made Han Zu realize that something was wrong.

"Didn't you tell me not to let me touch you? Why? Just touch my butt?"

Gloria and Han Zu were walking side by side, so what Gloria said was indeed the most likely scenario at the moment, because there were only her and Han Zu here. But Han Zu did not reach out to touch Gloria's butt. Just now, Han Zu felt someone touching him, and this person was not Gloria.

"It wasn't me. Didn't you just touch me?"

"What are you talking about? Your hands are around my waist... What's going on?!"

Gloria thought Han Zu was joking and stopped, but she saw Han Zu with his hands raised in the air, but something was touching her waist. Gloria jumped away and looked behind her, but she didn't see anything, but the feeling of being touched by something was still there.

"I didn't touch you just now. Is there something near us?"

"Try the pulse."

The two who noticed something was wrong immediately grabbed each other's hands. In order to prevent the other party from suddenly showing abnormal conditions and being unable to respond immediately. Gloria immediately released a radiation pulse. As a result, she really scanned something.

"Like a membrane?"

"I have a bad feeling."

As Gloria gave the scanning results of the radiation pulse, Han Zu immediately looked at the location where the energy film was before. The two walked back hand in hand, and as a result, the strange colorful energy film really disappeared.

“Is this thing alive?”

"Not sure. Can you still feel the feeling of being touched by someone?"

"Yes, but it has stopped moving."

"Try it with a flame and see if you can burn it off."

The two looked at each other, activated their energy, and in an instant they turned into two black firemen holding hands and burning fiercely. The two continued to burn for a minute. Until their clothes were completely burned to ashes, and the ground where they stood melted into magma, the burning stopped.

"That strange feeling is gone. How about you, Han Zu?"

"Same."

However, at this moment, their bodies suddenly froze, and a strange and peculiar feeling instantly enveloped them. It felt as if someone had wrapped them tightly with plastic wrap, except that the plastic wrap was very strong and completely invisible.

The two of them couldn't move, and couldn't even speak. The only part of their body that could move was their eyes. Gloria turned her eyes and saw that the colorful energy film suddenly appeared on her and Han Zu's bodies. Those things were spreading rapidly. In less than a second, Han Zu was completely wrapped in that energy film.

I had the same experience, but my speed was slower than Han Zu's. However, it might be because I hadn't let go of Han Zu's hand. Although Han Zu was completely wrapped in the energy film, he didn't disappear.

Gloria tried to send out a pulse of radiation to try to figure out what was going on, but she found that it was impossible.

Soon, the energy film covered Gloria's head and wrapped around her eyes. Not long after, Gloria's eyes went dark, and she suddenly felt like she was seasick. Gloria seemed to fall backwards with a dizzy head. But strangely, Han Zu seemed to have made the same move as her.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over Gloria. It was as if she suddenly entered a state of weightlessness and slowly floated up. This state lasted for more than five minutes. Then the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared. Gloria could not feel anything.

However, after this state lasted for a minute, Gloria suddenly felt weightless again, but this time she was not floating upwards. Instead, she was falling rapidly. As the speed of her fall became faster and faster, the colorful energy film that wrapped around her suddenly disappeared. Gloria immediately looked around, trying to stop falling while quickly observing the surrounding environment.

"Where are we!!"

"do not know!!"

"Can you fly now?!"

"No! I can't do it! Something is blocking my energy!"

Fortunately, he did not let go of Han Zu's hand, and like him, the energy film on Han Zu's body also disappeared. The wind pressure generated by the high-speed fall of the two people made them only able to communicate by shouting to each other, even though they were not far away.

Unable to stop falling, the two could only observe the surrounding environment. There was nothing here, only a chaotic darkness. There was nothing around them. Although the two were falling at a very fast speed, except for the wind pressure around them, the environment above, below, left and right was exactly the same, with no difference.

Not only that, according to Han Zu, something blocked his energy, that is, if there was a bottom below, the two of them could only fall hard. Gloria tried it, and her condition was the same as Han Zu's. She couldn't use any ability. Because of this, the fear of falling appeared in Gloria's heart again. Gloria's mind was blank, and she lost the ability to think.

"Don't be afraid! You won't die from the fall!!"

Gloria was suddenly pulled over by Han Zu and held in his arms. Han Zu turned over and let Gloria lie on him. He himself was lying on his back. Gloria was brought back to her mind by Han Zu's voice, which was too frightening to think. She glanced at Han Zu and found that there was no fear or worry on his face. Instead, he was smiling happily.

"Why can you still laugh?!"

“Isn’t this feeling exciting?! Hahahaha!!! Woohoo!!!”

So far, Mach rings have appeared around the two of them, and the speed of their fall is getting faster and faster. If the place where they are falling really has a bottom, then at this speed, they will definitely fall to pieces without leaving any residue. Although Han Zu said that the two people would not die from the fall, Gloria couldn't believe it at all. After all, the madness in his eyes appeared again.

“Shh~Shh~”

“Hoo-boom~!!”

As the speed increased again, the edges of their bodies had already generated high temperatures due to the rapid friction with the air. This high temperature quickly turned into a big fireball, wrapping the two of them inside. At this time, Gloria saw that she seemed to be getting closer and closer to something. She couldn't see the edge at a glance. It seemed to be the ground.

The good news is that this place does have a bottom, but the bad news is that Gloria doesn't think she can survive at this height. And what she saw should be the thing on the ground, which seems to be a huge intact rock.

It’s not good to be hard.

“It’s going to crash!!!”

“Yeah~~!!!!!”

"boom!!!"

Gloria's pupils dilated as she watched the ground getting closer and closer. She immediately buried her head in Han Zu's chest. She didn't want to face the impact. But Han Zu, who had his back to the ground, was extremely excited and shouted loudly. At the moment when his voice was the loudest. Han Zu's back finally touched the ground. Amid the deafening sound of the collision, Han Zu's body crashed through the ground, and only after he had penetrated the ground for an unknown distance did he begin to slow down.

As for Gloria, it was just as Han Zu said. Even with the impact force of this state, she and Han Zu were not killed. But she felt very uncomfortable. When she was hit, it was like a 100-ton king with four wheels in front and eight wheels in the back, hitting her internal organs from inside her body. And not only that, perhaps in order to prevent her from being thrown out, Han Zu hugged Gloria tightly with his arms. Han Zu's hands held his body tightly. He couldn't get away at all.

So now Gloria felt like she was tied to a wall of a nuclear explosion-proof facility. Then the 100-ton king with four-cylinder engines at the front and eight-cylinder engines at the rear was repeatedly hitting and squeezing her. Gloria felt like her soul had left her body and had no reaction. Apart from the buzzing and mushy head, Gloria could not feel anything.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, Gloria heard the sound of something being smashed. Then the feeling of weightlessness appeared again, but this time it did not last that long. Ten minutes later, another violent collision occurred. Gloria watched as the surroundings became increasingly darker, and she felt as if she had been hit hard by the Hundred Ton King again. This time, Gloria felt as if her soul had been completely pulled out of her body. She could no longer hold on and fainted.

“Kaalaala…”

After an unknown amount of time, Gloria, whose mind was still a mess, was awakened by the sound of rocks rubbing against each other. She opened her eyes with great effort, but everything was blurry and she couldn't see anything clearly. Gloria wanted to raise her head, but her whole body was weak and she couldn't do it at all. So she could only try to move her fingers.

The touch from her fingers was solid muscle. Gloria seemed to remember that she seemed to be lying on Han Zu, but she couldn't remember why, and her mind was still a mess.

Just these two actions once again drained all of Gloria's strength. Gloria closed her eyes and passed out again.

A few hours later.

Han Zu, who had lost consciousness due to the two huge impacts, woke up. He still kept his arms around Gloria. Han Zu loosened his arms and wanted to see what was going on around him. But his whole body was sore and weak as if he had overindulged himself. It was difficult for him to even raise his head, let alone stand up.

Han Zu cleared his mind and began to recall what had happened before. However, all he remembered was the fall, Gloria's panic, and the extremely hard feeling his entire back felt when it hit him for the first time.

Han Zu felt that his connection to energy seemed to be cut off. And the huge energy in his body seemed to be consumed. But it didn't seem to be caused by his body relieving the damage of the collision. After trying to sense it, Han Zu was able to confirm that something was slowly and massively absorbing the energy in his body. It felt very much like the feeling of the soldier who had been killed by him in the temporary camp outside the pyramid and whose behavior was abnormally strange when absorbing his energy. It was just the effect after being strengthened dozens of times.

The ability to convert energy cannot be used for the time being. Han Zu can only use his body's passive recovery ability. However, the energy absorption effect of the surroundings and the speed of his passive energy recovery just offset each other. Now Han Zu has no way to recover his energy. He can only maintain this empty magic state.

Fortunately, Han Zu's physical fitness is solid. Even if there is no energy, with Han Zu's physical fitness, there will be no danger. But now it's not possible. Han Zu can't even close his fingers.

"This seems to be a hole I made. But I seem to remember that I fell twice."

Han Zu could feel Gloria lying on top of him, and she seemed to have lost consciousness. Han Zu was now unable to move, and there was no way for him to get out of this deep pit, not even by himself, let alone take Gloria with him.

"Whatever. I haven't slept well recently."

But Han Zu was also carefree. He simply closed his eyes. He couldn't do anything now anyway, so he might as well take a nap and restore his body functions.
