Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 1185: Beehive

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1185: Beehive

Perhaps he was provoked, or perhaps he was trapped in the mental portal left by Doctor Zhang and could no longer easily withdraw. In any case, Tang Guangbo did not let go and leave but instead waved his hand to expand the space the two were in, trying to recreate the previous cage.

However, the eyes outside the space did not relent. The pressure they exerted repeatedly compressed the expanded area back, and as more eyes gathered, Tang Guangbo’s dial was unbearably deformed, clearly unable to hold on.

Xu Huo was shocked more than once by Doctor Zhang’s strength. Although he had a premonition before the treatment began that this person might have profound achievements in spirit evolution, it was unexpected that even a mental portal from memory had such intensity.

While Tang Guangbo engaged in a tug-of-war with the eyes, he once again opened the spiritual world. This time the library tower unfolded smoothly, even spreading the space at one point, but it was quickly counterattacked and instantly collapsed entirely.

Along with the collapse this time was Tang Guangbo’s dial. As the space broke, both of them were scattered by the surging eyes and were swept into different eyes individually.

Entering the world of eyes meant that consciousness would wander along with it. Perhaps it was a matter of an instant from the outside, but in this mental space, it could be long and painful... This wasn’t the first time Xu Huo experienced such pain, but he didn’t have memories from the last time, so this time it was starting anew. Moreover, because he had already started spirit evolution, it was easier for him to be drawn into these worlds and harder to escape.

However, he was very clear that the portal made by Doctor Zhang was to train him, so there must be a suitable exit.

Under the heavy pressure and pain, wandering in the world of eyes, switching through countless spaces, he even encountered the eye preserving his library tower twice. Finally, when passing through the gap between two eyes, he found something different from the entire portal space—that was a hexagonal pattern.

Xu Huo reached out to grasp it, only to find himself entering an even more complex world, a place resembling a hive with densely packed hexagonal entrances and exits, and he was standing on one of the hexagons.

"Hive..." he murmured, "No wonder there are more spaces behind this door than ants."

The complexity of a general spiritual world is related to the evolver’s level of evolution. The stronger the control, the more complex the initially created spiritual world. Moreover, once a spiritual world is created, it generally does not change in later stages. Therefore, evolvers do not create overly complex spiritual worlds at the beginning of super evolution—for easier control. Compared to his endlessly repetitive library tower, Bai Kou’s mechanical world is relatively simple. Who would imagine their spiritual world as a hive at the start?

The hive holes in front appeared endless. The internal structure must be complex. Xu Huo stood at the entrance for two seconds and decided to retreat, but to his surprise, a hand pushed him from behind.

It was a child’s hand.

Xu Huo slid into the hive, dazzling lights swiftly passing before his eyes. A moment later, he reached the end of this hive hole. Looking up, he saw a childhood version of himself and Doctor Zhang standing behind him.

Doctor Zhang held the shoulders of the childhood Xu Huo and looked at the hive with him, "A person’s spiritual world is more complex than any object in the real world, even the most advanced mechanical brain."

"In an instant, thirty-six thousand thoughts can flash through a person’s mind. Crisis handling, human judgment, the moral bottom line, these can all be processed completely in less than a second. The highest control one can achieve over oneself is controlling the spirit. Once the spirit is controllable, the body, other people, the world, all can be controlled."

This dangerous man said in a low voice, "No external object is more trustworthy than one’s own mind, Xu Huo. In any situation, believe in your own judgment. One can lose their life due to miscalculation, but never fall because of others’ stupidity. It’s an act of a weakling to entrust anything to others."

The young Xu Huo looked up at the man, "Doctor, do you want to place your hope on me?"

Doctor Zhang smiled gently, looking down at him, "You are more like the growing tendrils of thought for the doctor. Human lifespan and strength are limited. I hope you can accomplish some things for me. That is the meaning of your existence."

The young Xu Huo, eager to learn, asked again, "So to us, is the doctor also a tendril?"

"You could say that," Doctor Zhang seemed not to be an autocratic person, "But I hope you complete the tasks I’ve assigned before regarding others as tendrils."

The young Xu Huo reached out a hand to touch the frame, "I am also the tendril born from my mom and dad; I want to stay with them more, along with my brother."

"Soon you can go back," Doctor Zhang gazed at him intently, "We will meet again when you grow up."

"When will that be?" the young Xu Huo asked.

Doctor Zhang did not answer that question but instead glanced into the mental portal. Following that, the hive hole suddenly moved, and the two disappeared from Xu Huo’s sight.

Xu Huo instinctively felt that the reunion Doctor Zhang mentioned was when Xu Zhi would die. He rushed forward to tear open the hive, trying to pull back the memories from just now, but unfortunately, beyond the hive was total darkness. He was also pulled back by a hand extending from behind!

Tang Guangbo pulled him back into the world of eyes, warning him expressionlessly, "If you still want to get out alive, don’t go any deeper."

Xu Huo calmed down a bit, "I haven’t found the exit yet."

At least find the exit; only then has he completed the third evolution.

"Haven’t you already found it?" Tang Guangbo asked him, "You entered through the mental portal and exited through the hive; you’ve already completed the third evolution, enough for you to digest for a while."

Seeing his hesitation and reluctance to leave, Tang Guangbo used the clock to open the door, forcibly taking him out of the world of eyes.

The two returned to the treatment room from earlier, but this time Tang Guangbo did not try to imprison him because the moment they came out, Xu Huo’s library tower appeared.

This library tower only had a spiral staircase inside, without tables, materialized items, or countless floors.

Standing in front of the staircase, Xu Huo calmly made a request, "I want to enter the mental portal again."

Even with a well-trained temper, Tang Guangbo flatly refused this time, "I won’t help you again."

Xu Huo understood that his finding the hive world so smoothly was thanks to the balance between him and the world of eyes. Although a bit regretful, it’s wise to stop when ahead for future encounters.

"I’ll go out and see that bridge."

After speaking, he opened the door and returned to the previous Dark Space, approaching the broken bridge again. Among the two bridges in the shadows, one had already joined, but the gap in the middle was not repaired, nor was it aligned neatly.

Glancing at the other broken bridge, Xu Huo squatted down and patted the bridge surface, "Time will come."
