298: Arrival on a new planet
Characters from the coffin appeared one after another from the shadows.
Sounds continuously spread out.
“Holy crap, I really started in a coffin!”
“Who set up the lighting? A lighter? How did they bring this thing in?”
“Hey, why is the person next to me wearing a tracksuit?”
“Holy crap, how did I get here? Wasn't I just on Mount Tai?”
Various sounds echoed within the coffin.
Only then did Ye Hei realize that not only he and his classmates, but also other people on Mount Tai had been sucked into the coffin and arrived at this inexplicable place.
“Something’s not right…”
This Time Bu Ge frowned.
The space inside the coffin… was it really this big?
He scanned the area with the dim light, seeing hundreds of people just in his direction, and countless more figures vaguely visible in the shadows.
No, can a twenty-meter-long coffin hold this many people?
“The space is wrong!”
Little Cabbage also noticed the anomaly.
He frowned and scanned the surroundings, finding that the inside of the coffin had inexplicably grown much larger, as if it had become a Small World.
This Time Bu Ge pondered, “It seems this coffin is definitely not a simple item. It likely contains a small dimension like a grotto-heaven, at least a method of the Nascent Soul Rank.”
Although This Time Bu Ge and Little Cabbage had been trapped in the coffin before, they hadn't felt the space was vast; it seemed to be obstructed by some force.
After Mount Tai, the barrier force within the coffin inexplicably disappeared, and the space expanded considerably.
“Huh? What’s that?”
It was then that Little Cabbage noticed a small coffin in the dark corner.
A calm voice came from beside them:
“This is the real coffin, an implement used to hold corpses, while the outer bronze ancient coffin is merely the outer casing. Together, they form the coffin and its outer casing.”
It turned out that Ye Hei had looked over; this was something he only learned after understanding the Xuanhuan World’s background, as there was no such custom in Blue Star’s history.
“So, there might be a corpse inside?”
Little Cabbage couldn't help but feel a chill, quickly retreating a few steps.
Other Xuanhuan World players around them were also shocked.
“Dragons are Divine Beasts in the Xuanhuan World. A coffin pulled by such creatures must contain a very important person.”
“Holy crap, could it be the remains of a Soul Transformation expert?”
“Even higher isn’t impossible, right? By the way, what Rank is above Soul Transformation?”
“I don’t know, isn’t Soul Transformation the highest Rank in the Xuanhuan World?”
The players discussed, looking at the small coffin, feeling a sense of dread.
At this moment, more and more Mount Tai tourists used lighting methods: some had lighters, some used phone lights, and some had flashlights brought by hikers.
As the light gradually brightened, the feeling of fear also faded, and the crying gradually subsided, then completely disappeared.
Even the most terrified ordinary people had to face reality, nervously assessing the unfolding situation.
Discussions about the small coffin gradually ceased, and everyone began to focus on another key point.
“No, how did you bring your phone into the game? What? You said you were sucked in entirely? What are you kidding me?”
Some slow-witted players only now noticed the anomaly: someone had actually been sucked in from Mount Tai?
Not through VR equipment, but directly with their Physical Body entering the coffin?
Bu Ge frowned deeply, actively approaching Ye Hei and the others, asking:
“This might be a bit presumptuous to ask, but are you truly Immortal Masters?”
Ye Hei frowned slightly, and a somewhat burly classmate next to him immediately couldn't help but shout:
“What kind of question is that? Are you suspecting we’re virtual people?”
“No matter what, this matter is too exaggerated. I think it’s very necessary to confirm it.”
At this time, Little Cabbage was still live-streaming, and millions of viewers were pouring into the live broadcast room, and the number was still increasing.
Then, bullet comments started flooding the live stream:
“Hey, isn’t that Ye Hei? My company boss, what’s he doing here?”
“Holy crap, the person next to him is my teacher, what’s he doing here too?”
“What’s going on? Were they really taken away by the bronze ancient coffin?”
Looking at these bullet comments, Little Cabbage couldn't help but swallow.
What’s happening?
Could it be that the Xuanhuan World truly exists? Did these people really Transmigrate in with their Physical Bodies?
Bu Ge frowned; he didn't think things were that strange.
The bullet comments in the live stream were likely just for fun and mischief, and didn't represent real, established social connections.
Not to mention, with current technology and the highly developed state of the internet, it's not difficult to forge identities for virtual people.
But… this would require official intervention. Is such a thing really possible?
As Bu Ge thought about it, he himself began to waver.
As he continued to communicate with Ye Hei and the others, he found that these people were indistinguishable from Immortal Masters.
They had their own backgrounds, their own identities, their own preferences, and their own emotions.
Bu Ge and Little Cabbage exchanged a look, both feeling a bit lost.
The NPCs in the Xuanhuan World were convincing enough to pass for real, but none of them knew Blue Star society as intimately as Ye Hei.
However, no one could guarantee whether the Xuanhuan World’s technology could create virtual people belonging to Blue Star’s modern society… “Either the Xuanhuan World has a mysterious background that we can’t comprehend…” “Or the Xuanhuan World officials have pulled off another big stunt.”
Bu Ge remained silent for a long time; he was also somewhat confused about the current situation.
The nine dragons coffin pull continued its flight.
But it seemed they didn't wait long before everyone felt a tremor beneath their feet.
“What’s going on? Has it stopped?”
“What happened? Did it realize it sucked in the wrong people, so it stopped specifically to let us go back?”
“The coffin lid moved!”
Boom!
A violent tremor, like a clap of thunder.
It was at this moment that everyone suddenly realized that there were countless bronze carvings inside the bronze ancient coffin, and now they all began to glow.
Then, the coffin seemed to start tumbling, but a strong gravitational force held everyone firmly, leaving them unaffected.
“Look! That small coffin is hanging upside down!”
At some point, the small coffin was suspended in an unreachable place, and a strange flower seemed to be suspended with it.
But everyone no longer had time to pay attention to them.
Because at this moment, the bronze coffin stopped, and a luminous crack appeared.
“Exit!”
“There’s an exit there!”
Many of the “Physical Body Transmigration” hikers cheered, scrambling to rush forward.
The other players were stunned, then also followed, rushing towards it.
Little Cabbage had already experienced several stops, and Bu Ge had also experienced them, so logically, they shouldn't have been surprised.
But they both felt that this stop was somehow different.
“Has some Seal inside the coffin been opened? Not only has the content inside the coffin changed, but even the movement of the stop has changed.”
Bu Ge pondered, looking at the luminous crack, sensing that what they would see upon exiting would likely be an extraordinary sight.
