Ming stood at the edge of the small town, surveying the collapsed buildings in the aftermath of the earthquake. This wasn't a replica created by game rules, but a real location.
"24 hours?" He checked the mission information. If he exceeded the time limit, he would be stuck in the replica. To return, he would have to commit suicide with a substitute puppet or let the monsters in the replica kill him. However, both options required a strong mindset.
But what if he walked out of the replica and into the mist?
Ming picked up a stone and threw it at the red light curtain behind him. The stone penetrated the curtain but disappeared as it passed through.
On the other side of the light curtain, he saw a normal road with trees and grass on both sides. However, the stone he threw had indeed disappeared. Was what he saw not real?
The mist... the mist...
