Chapter 383: Chapter 383 Your Significance

Chen Ke knew that Harlowin in this space was unwilling to talk about that matter.

She was very aware that she didn’t exist, just a ghost in the photograph, a phantom derived from a mutated thing.

This space itself was the same, the rules clearly were not from a normal world.

But any sentient being would cling to the feeling of "being alive," the perception of and feedback from reality giving them reasons they couldn’t bear to leave.

But no one could escape reality, and Harlowin must understand that as well.

The two stood in front of the warehouse door again, this time, it was Warehouse No. 6.

Not No. 8, nor No. 7, Chen Ke no longer had the chance to use Future Vision, it would take a long time to recover...

After he last used it on the Endurance, it wasn’t until he met Li Moyang again that it recovered.

That is to say, each time he used the ability, it would take 29 hours to recover...

Chen Ke didn’t want to wait in this photograph for 29 hours, he also didn’t know if the time he wasted here would be in sync with the outside.

"This is our chance, rookie." Harlowin leaned on the door and said.

"I hope your research on the random distribution of safes is correct..." Chen Ke said.

"Trust me, it won’t be wrong. This is the conclusion from 300 deaths, not everyone has this opportunity," Harlowin said.

"Alright then, stay away from the warehouse... I’ll go in alone..." Chen Ke said.

"No no... this is my mission, rookie, don’t think of ditching me," Harlowin shook her head.

"Forgive my bluntness, Ms. Harlowin. Aside from being shot into a sieve, there is no second outcome for you," Chen Ke said seriously.

Those armed assailants were emotionless tools—they could continue pulling triggers with guns that had already melted under temperatures of 500 degrees.

Moreover, there was not a single place in the warehouse that could serve as a cover, it was clearly a trap.

Harlowin’s success in coming infinitely close to victory twice out of 300 deaths with only a small handgun could only be described as luck.

Chen Ke didn’t believe in luck, only in sufficient strength, ample experience, clear intelligence, a perfect plan, and professional execution.

"I forgot to tell you, rookie, I’m the only one who can open that safe," Harlowin said with a smile.

"What?" Chen Ke was taken aback.

"There is no lock on the safe, it only opens when I turn it myself, that’s how this world operates, rookie," Harlowin said.

"Don’t lie to me," Chen Ke said, looking at Harlowin with skepticism.

"I have no need to lie to you, and also, you’d better not use that ability of yours again, you wouldn’t want the contents of the safe to melt, right?" Harlowin said.

Chen Ke snapped back to reality upon hearing her say this.

Right...

Although he didn’t know what was in the safe, An Helei’s Flame was too hot, exceeding the melting points of many substances.

By then, the extreme heat causing drastic environmental changes wouldn’t only mean worrying about whether the contents inside still existed, but also if the safe could even be successfully opened belonged to the realm of doubt.

"I understand, but you have to realize something—if you die this time, we’ll have to start over," Chen Ke said.

After Harlowin died, the world would restart, and Chen Ke’s Future Vision would still be cooling down, giving no room for three chances to make mistakes.

"I know, rookie. So this time you go in first," Harlowin nodded.

"Can’t we trigger the alarm, exit the warehouse, and then shoot them using the iron door as cover?" Chen Ke asked.

"That’s not possible... Inside and outside the warehouse are two different spaces... Each entry counts for one, and if you and I enter separately, the second person’s entry will cause the warehouse to reset... Do you understand? If I exit midway to wait for you to clear out the warehouse, when I come back in, the warehouse will again be filled with them... We must go in together, facing this tough battle," Harlowin shook her head.

"Crappy game! Crappy game!" Chen Ke grumbled through gritted teeth.

"What are you... talking about?" Harlowin asked, puzzled.

Chen Ke controlled his emotions, leaned on the warehouse wall, and shook his head.

For him, this place was indeed like a game, the kind without auto-save points, where death meant starting from scratch.

"You’re a Spiritual Ability User, our chances of winning have already increased a lot; before this, I never even thought I’d win," Harlowin patted Chen Ke’s shoulder.

"Then let me ask you, knowing that our chances are slim, why do you insist on keeping on?" Chen Ke asked.

Harlowin looked at Chen Ke, tilted her head, and thought for a moment.

"Maybe, this is the reason I exist. Chen Ke," Harlowin said, her smile carrying a profound meaning.

"Dying over and over, starting over and over? That’s your reason?" Chen Ke asked.

"No, it’s not... My reason to exist is, waiting for someone brave enough to enter into the photograph, to let them know what has happened to Harlowin, and what is happening now," Harlowin said.

"Ms. Harlowin..." Chen Ke said.

"Rookie, the negatives you’re after are in the safe. My hundreds of deaths have been for this moment," Harlowin said.

"There are 100 AK47s in there, I can’t guarantee your safety 100%," Chen Ke said.

He was a little taller than Harlowin, but even if he stood still as cover, he couldn’t block all the bullets.

Moreover, the two of them together barely had two pistols; their firepower was completely insufficient.

Chen Ke only had two magazines on him, and it looked like Harlowin didn’t have much either; they couldn’t guarantee headshots with every bullet to eliminate everyone.

And once Chen Ke began using Spiritual Energy and the Holy Relics in combat, he could no longer be a shield for Harlowin.

In such an open warehouse, Harlowin would be instantly shot to pieces, and the space would enter the next cycle, all efforts wasted.

Was it that camera that defined these rules?

"Since the rules are such... then this time, let’s play a little smarter," Chen Ke said.

There was no choice, it was a deadlock, they had to face it head-on.

"I will try my best, it’s all on you now, rookie," Harlowin said.

The two leaned against the iron door, this time, Chen Ke stood at the front. He looked back at Harlowin, who nodded in agreement.

Chen Ke violently twisted the doorknob, summoned the Moonlight Greatsword with his left hand, and with a swing, chopped off the bolts holding the door in place.

With his right hand, he pulled the entire door down.

"Rookie..." Harlowin was so stunned she was at a loss for words.

"Nobody’s stopping me from cheating!" Chen Ke recalled the Moonlight Greatsword, his body instantly equipped with black Knight armor.

He positioned the iron door at an inclined angle in front of Harlowin and stood on the other side, creating a trapezoidal space.

Right at that moment, the warehouse’s hundred or so men popped into existence.

The thickness of the iron door couldn’t stop 7.62mm rifle bullets, but the angled position could deflect some stray bullets, and the door provided a larger angle of protection, allowing Chen Ke to have one hand free to throw soul spears.

"Da-da-da-da-da-da-da..."

Intense gunfire erupted, with Harlowin hiding behind Chen Ke, shooting at gaps aiming at the army of tools.
