Chapter 36: Stage 0

lmost dark. Lu Cheng knew that after nightfall, the city gates would open, but there was nothing more he could do. Whether they could survive depended on themselves.Ji Li appeared very pleased, and th...In a while.

"Let's go!"

Staff led the people to the vicinity of the secret realm access card.

From afar, it appears to be a card, but as you approach, you'll feel the vibrant, multicolored glow of a light portal.

Lu Cheng took a look, this was much more dazzling than the underworld gate he had.

After reiterating the secret realm rules once more, the staff ushered this group of waiting tourists into the secret realm.

A tranquil sanctuary usually welcomes outsiders, with custom-made fairytale themed "Tourist Cars (Seashell)" and "Tourist Cars (Cradle)" parked at the entrance.

Lu Cheng and his group quickly found their own car.

15th

This car looks like a leaf from the outside. Sitting in it feels like being in Princess Pea's perspective.

As soon as she saw the car, Tang Wenyao, who was initially excited, instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Sis, you're taking the bus again"

It's okay, this is a convertible....

Lu Cheng was reading the Secrets of the Secret Realm carefully.

"The tourist attraction card belongs to Andy's consortium's private property."

I confirmed three times that the vehicle in front of me couldn't be taken away, some regret.

The wilderness is still better, it's just a matter of Zhang Ka taking it and going.

"Dear passengers, please board the train one by one. Let's embark on a magical journey!"

Lu Cheng and they also queued up.

Passengers in front line up to swipe their cards and check tickets...

Suddenly, Lu Cheng discovered something.

A group of passengers stood before the vehicle.... A man boarded first, moving quickly. Below, three men and one woman huddled together in a circle, their hands swirling with a faint blue light.

Military division

Although they were dressed casually.

But Lü Chéng knew that when the military card masters boarded their vehicles and mounts, they did so with lightning speed. The others were responsible for keeping watch to prevent ambushes during embarkation.

Five officers made up the team, their positions were well-rehearsed and standard.

But Lu Cheng didn't think much of it. His team of five was out for fun, and it was very normal for soldiers to take vacation and have fun outside the base.

A tourist bus has a capacity of 24 people.

After getting on the bus, Lu Cheng and his companions sat in a position slightly in the middle. They took a quick glance and noticed that all the military officers were seated in the last row.

"Older Brother Lu, by the time we get to Mermaid Beach, it'll be almost noon. The sun will be shining just right on the beach. We can have a nice meal there. Didn't you say you were going to treat us to that...what was it called again ...pot"

"

“Hot pot...” Lu Cheng said helplessly.

"

"Roommate, can you really cook anything in that pot Online reviews say the seafood there is pretty good!" Tang Wenyao had already taken out some snacks.

“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t mind burning you.”

"You're a pervert!"

"Oh, no, you can't fit in there...."

"You!"

Friendly interaction, social 1.

........

This truly lives up to its reputation as a 3A-level secret realm. Even from the sightseeing car, you can feel the enchantment of a fairy tale world.

Although the cards are gone, Andy Corporation has used the Phantom Realm to build many things.

As the sightseeing bus passed by Rainbow Bridge and a magnificent castle, passengers rose to their feet in awe.

But the soldiers in the back row remained vigilant, even some... uneasy.

"Captain, team communication has been established."

"Xu Zhi, how are you" a man asked in a low voice.

We have released the Sentient Beasts card "Firewatch Hound", but so far, we've had no luck.

"Should we evacuate the passengers" Xu Zhiyou looked at the excited passengers with worry.

"No, the Fantasy Town under Andy's Consortium just underwent a safety inspection last month. The current operation is completely compliant. If we evacuate the tourists rashly, the losses would be enormous and we couldn't afford it. Besides, you mustn't forget that Andy's Consortium has very close ties with our military system."

"Captain, whose news is it that makes you risk taking us on this private mission"

"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, I'm at least half sure that Fairy Tale Town started deteriorating three years ago, but the Andy Corporation has been concealing it for profit. Now it's probably nearing Stage 1."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The secret realm is worsening.

This is the word people are afraid to mention.

Master mainland, where all kinds of strange and wonderful energies intertwine. If nothing goes wrong, that's the weird thing.

While the deterioration of secret realms might be the most complex and terrifying problem humanity currently faces.

Because various energies influence and infect each other, some places that were once free for exploration have gradually become distorted and restless.

A peaceful sanctuary can in an instant transform into a ravenous beast.

Usually, a deterioration of a secret realm means the loss of many card masters' lives.

Moreover, due to the infection and disorder of the secret realm, they will almost infinitely absorb all kinds of energy and expand, and affect the real world.

It's becoming increasingly twisted, larger and larger, and the creations are also becoming increasingly evil and bizarre.

It easily makes one think of a certain word.

cancer.

Of course, the deterioration artifact is also an expansion pack card.

But such cards usually contain complex and twisted energies that can negatively affect the card reader's mind. In most countries and regions on the Card Master Continent, using and spreading these types of cards is defined as an illegal act.

For millennia, countless card masters have dedicated themselves to containing the spread of corrupted realms, but their efforts only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

While it can be suppressed, the corruption as a domain cannot be eradicated by ordinary card masters.

Only domain masters with powerful domain cards in the brain domain card group have a chance to completely shatter the deteriorating secret realm.

But card masters... where are there so many

Withdrawn into thought, the captain glanced at the beautiful scenery around him.

The sightseeing bus was moving forward constantly, just passing by Honey River, which caused a cheer from the passengers.

Such a quiet and peaceful secret realm, it's actually going to progress to Stage 1

Perhaps the fairy town was simply too gentle, too dreamy, to reveal the turbulent undercurrents.

But the calmer it is, the more dangerous it becomes. Once it erupts, what will it be like

The captain was momentarily lost in thought.

His daughter is a big fan of Storybrooke, but after today's investigation, this eight-year-old might lose Storybrooke forever.

"Captain, the customer traffic data for today is out. Due to it being a holiday peak season, today's customer traffic exceeded 30,000..."

"Damn it!"

The captain's scolding was a bit loud, and the yellow-haired kid in front who was with his girlfriend turned his head, looking a little dumbfounded.

"It's nothing, my legs are just numb..." the captain explained.

Huang Mao smiled and nodded, continuing to explain the skill effects of "Sleeping Beauty" to his girlfriend.

"Captain, what do we do We still have no evidence..."

If evidence is found, the head of Andy Corporation will be held accountable! I don't believe they were unaware. Last month, they even joined forces with the mining Liu family to conduct a geological survey of Fairy Town....

"Captain, we didn't find any evidence. How did your informant discover this"

All he saw was that his identity was sensitive...

"What It's already been sighted"

"Yes, that's why I think we're already at Stage 1, maybe even into Stage 1 transitioning to Stage 2... and so on!" The captain pulled out the tourist map distributed by the scenic area.

> "Half a month ago, here, here, and the rice field scenic spot was open from 8 am to 8 pm. Look, now it's about 5 pm and they've already closed the spot. These damn businessmen, they definitely know something!"

"Captain, where's the earliest closing attraction"

The captain took a deep breath and slowly reviewed the timetable, finally settling his gaze on a place name.

Our destination for this trip, Mermaid Beach.wed, this conversation!On the outside, there was a net. He immediately wrapped the camera in slime and sent the image to Captain Wang Han.If he really has something, when he gets back to Winterfell, h...
