Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Anxious Emotions
So, since he had already figured out what’s going on, why hadn’t he left this illusion trial yet?
Jiang Xiaobai was a bit puzzled for a moment.
Logically speaking, once such a nightmare trial illusion is exposed, the illusion would immediately dissipate, and then either it would be a completed trial or it would enter into the next layer of challenge.
But now Jiang Xiaobai was obviously aware that he was in the illusion and hadn’t been absorbed into it. So why couldn’t he leave?
“How odd, System… System, Dad?”
Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself …
There was no response whatsoever.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiaobai felt that this trial must be testing how he could escape.
Then he stood up from his workstation, looked around, and found that all the employees around him were busy working hard. He was in a skyscraper.
He paid no attention to the people around him, walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looking at the hustle and bustle of the world outside made Jiang Xiaobai feel a touch of nostalgia.
Back when he was in this world, despite the hardships he faced, there were moments of little happiness.
But after he left for Tianxuan Continent, life there was more thrilling and fun, but humans, they always feel the warm tug of nostalgia.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t feel much before, but now, as he looked at the scenery before him, he suddenly felt like he wanted to live a quiet life here for a while.
“Reality is, this is all just an illusion. Comfort in this place equates to being trapped to death in this place.”
Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, then plunged into deep thought, pondering on how to exit this illusion.
This nightmare trial must be relatively advanced. Although he knew he was in an illusion, he obviously couldn’t leave just by recognizing this.
Perhaps, he needed to find another way to leave this place, or maybe, there was an even bigger challenge awaiting him.
Either was probable!
But the problem was, he felt rather clueless on where to start.
However, he discovered that he was surprisingly still able to utilize his cultivation!
This unexpected joy welled up in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to see what kind of effect a cultivator would have in this world.
Could he be invincible in this place?
With his strength, he could easily overpower the whole world.
While he was lost in thought, a man suddenly appeared beside Jiang Xiaobai. Turning to look, it was the boss of the company.
“Haha, are you tired? It’s okay, you’ve been working hard these days. It’s normal to take a break,” the boss said, laughing.
Jiang Xiaobai just glanced at him and didn’t pay him any more attention.
He didn’t want to bother with him at all.
But the boss was persistent: “Jiang Xiaobai, although you work hard, you’re ultimately an employee!”
“It’s work time now, don’t take it too far. I think you’ve had enough rest, hurry back to your station and work!”
“Stop dawdling. If you can’t finish the workload for today, stay in the office and don’t leave!”
At these words, everyone in the large office looked up. Jiang Xiaobai glanced around to see that everyone wore a schadenfreude expression on their faces.
“Hahaha, this bastard was acting so impressive the past few days, probably trying to please the boss. But look now, he made the boss feel like he should naturally work hard.”
“This Jiang Xiaobai is really a fool, I’m speechless.”
“Why are you guys bothering with him? Instead of wasting time talking about him, you should decide what to eat for lunch!”
The people were talking in quiet voices, but Jiang Xiaobai was different from them. Now, he had his cultivation, so naturally he could hear everything they were whispering.
For a moment, he frowned. He didn’t understand why, but he felt the whole mechanical and mundane environment suddenly coming alive after he regained his memory?
These people were usually silent!
Especially this boss, he would praise him every day, but he would say the same sentence every day, even the expression and timing of the praise were exactly the same!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt inexplicably irritable.
“Jiang Xiaobai, I am fucking talking to you!”
“You dare to ignore me, who do you think you are? You’re just a wage-earner, my company doesn’t lack one like you!”
“Go to work right now, or get the fuck out of my company!”
The boss suddenly began to roar again.
Jiang Xiaobai looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a grim face, jumping up and down in rage.
Within his eyes, there was nothing but disdain and mockery, his high and mighty attitude making Jiang Xiaobai even more irritable.
“You’re nothing but an illusion. Do I really need to bother with you?”
Jiang Xiaobai let out a cold laugh.
At his words, the boss flew into a rage, “Well done, Jiang Xiaobai. You really are egregious, you dare to disregard your boss?”
“Security, where is security? Throw this dog out. From now on, you’re no longer part of my company!”
“Without me to take you in, could you even find a job, you piece of trash?”
Amidst the boss’s angry reproach, Jiang Xiaobai’s restlessness and irritation grew. He felt a huge surge of anger bubbling up within him.
He took a deep breath and loosened his tie a bit.
“I can’t stay here any longer, it’s too weird. I’ll deal with it after I go out.”
Jiang Xiaobai said to himself, just as he was preparing to leave, he found that he was already surrounded by security.
Several security guards with sinister smiles approached him, surrounding him in the middle, ready to make a move.
At that moment, a sudden surge of rage exploded in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart.
He reached out to push away the man in front of him.
What he hadn’t realized was that he’s no longer a normal human. He had subconsciously used his spiritual power in that push!
As a result, that man was propelled a great distance, crashing through seven or eight walls and dying on the spot, flesh and blood splattered everywhere!
Screams filled the entire office.
“Ah, a murder! ”
“A monster, save me, save me!”
“Who will save me, run, escape!”
The piercing screams and the chaotic scene made Jiang Xiaobai feel as if his head was about to explode.
The rage in his heart was rapidly intensifying.
“All of you, shut up!”
His angry roar echoed, and instantly, all the glass in this whole building burst apart. The employees, and the boss, right before Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes, exploded into a cloud of blood.
Having killed so many people in Tianxuan Continent, Jiang Xiaobai was not in the least disturbed or panicked by such a scene.
Even so, the restless feeling in his heart surfaced more intensely.
“I can’t stay here. It’s too weird. I need to leave first. The most important thing is to find a way to leave this illusion!”
Immediately, he charged into the sky, disappearing into the distance.
On the bank of a dam, Jiang Xiaobai was sitting and watching the sunset. Just within the span of a minute or two, he had already flown a lap around the earth.
The feeling was surprisingly pleasant.
The restless feeling had subsided, but he still couldn’t figure out how to leave this illusion.
While he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard arguing from the road not far away.
Several hooligans were bullying a woman.
Taking a closer look, this woman…looked exactly like Ao Yan!
