Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Kang De, who had failed to unlock the map, was a little irritable.

The attempt to "set the save point by sleeping on another bed" did not work. Even if he slept elsewhere, the location to enter the white fog world was still his bed.

So what should he do?

Kang De was puzzled.

He had no clue about such a thing at all, nor did he have any instructions. He was very, very passive. Helpless, he could only continue to think and try while preparing for the worst.

If he could not find a way, he had to consider starting from the real world.

There was no need to think about it in the country. Gun control was so strict, but he could consider it overseas. For example, he could go to a backward area that often fought wars and borrow some weapons from the black uncles.

However, that was too troublesome and difficult to explain. His parents were far away in Africa. That was fine, but Old Wang had been watching him especially closely recently, afraid that he would cause trouble again.

Kang De, who was lying on the bed, sighed.

He stretched out his hand into the air, and unstable waves appeared in the space. He vaguely sensed two paths. One was to return to Earth, and the other was to go to the other world. As long as he wanted, he could cross it.

Kang De hesitated for a moment and chose to return to Earth.

Two to three days had passed since he returned home, but he had never been to the other world.

The most important problem was the social relationship on Earth and the time flow in the two worlds.

Previously, when they reunited, Wang Xiaoman said that she had not seen Kang De for two days. At first, Kang De thought that the time flow on both sides was almost 1:180. However, on second thought, that was not the case. This was because he had a deep impression of the date of his transmigration. After looking at the calendar, he knew that his transmigration and return were on the same day, and they were both in the morning. Old Wang said that only because she had not seen Kang De for two days.

This discovery made Kang De feel very relieved.

From this, two possibilities could basically be deduced.

The first possibility was that when Kang De transmigrated to the other world, the flow of time on Earth would stop. When he returned to Earth, time in the other world would most likely stop.

This was the most ideal state. It did not matter how long he stayed on Earth.

The second possibility was that Kang De's transmigration and return were not at the same time. Instead, there was a gap. In other words, the difference in the flow of time still existed, and the ratio was extremely large. In less than an hour on Earth, more than a year had passed in the other world, which was the day Kang De transmigrated.

If that's the case, then forget it. Two to three days had already passed on Earth. It's probably been decades on the other side. Even the grass has been weathered into dust. Goethe's empire has probably long perished. This way, there's no need to be anxious. When he was free, he would go take a look and come back to be the protagonist of an urban CEO novel.

Of course, other than the two possibilities above, there might be a third possibility.

The divine power of the cursed blade built a bridge. The three worlds were connected. Perhaps the time flow that usually did not interfere with each other began to gradually affect each other. In other words, the time ratio would change.

This possibility was also possible.

If he really wanted to determine which possibility it was, he could only go to the other world to personally measure it.

But not now.

He was not sure yet.

There was only one chance to transmigrate every day. In other words, after arriving in the other world, he had to stay in the other world for a day before returning. In a situation where the flow of time was uncertain, it was not wise to rashly leave Earth. Moreover, he was not sure that he could transmigrate back the next day after going to the other world.

What if the transmigration mechanism that returned to Earth had a cooldown?

He did not want to suddenly disappear for a long time and make Old Wang, his parents, and the others search crazily and worry.

Before making full preparations, he could not easily set foot in the other world.

"Let's wait a little longer."

The problem of the gun had not been settled. The things bought online would only be sent over in a few days.

Today, he wanted to find a hardware store to buy some suitable weapons…

Ah, right, he had to think of a way to get some money.

—Borrow money from a bank or an ATM machine in the white fog world? Wake up, it doesn't exist. Such money can only be used as change in a small place without surveillance. If he dares to deposit it in his account, the bank will recognize that this banknote number is repeated in minutes. Moreover, it actually looks like real money no matter how one looks at it. The National Security Bureau will definitely show up.

At most, he could get some gold and jewelry from the bank and jewelry store. He could throw away the packaging and erase the serial number before taking action through the underground channels. Most importantly, Kang De did not have this method.

How troublesome.

How f*cking troublesome.

Although it was very safe and convenient to live in a peaceful and stable country, relatively speaking, the social system that served law-abiding citizens would spontaneously create a calm and orderly social atmosphere, causing people to be restrained when they wanted to do strange things that were not so legal.

It was even difficult to do anything.

He thought about it again.

If there was really no other way…

—Let's borrow money overseas.

Light flashed, and space shattered. Kang De returned to Earth.

The time flow on Earth was the same as in the white fog world. At least now, at least in the day, he could not stay in the white fog world for too long, or else…

On Earth, when he opened his eyes, there was a soft bed under him. This was the room of the express hotel. The phone beside him buzzed. It was Old Wang.

As soon as he picked up the phone, Old Wang's angry voice sounded, "Why didn't you answer the phone? Why aren't you at home? Where are you now? You scared me to death!"

Although it was an angry question, a smile appeared on Kang De's lips. The worry of his relatives and friends always warmed him. After experiencing those things, he was no longer impatient.

This was because people were always like this. Only when they lost it would they feel precious.

He said, "No, I woke up in the morning and went out to exercise. My phone was switched to silent mode last night and I forgot to turn it on."

A white lie was even more troublesome because telling the truth was more troublesome. He did not stay in a quieter and more comfortable home, but he ran a few kilometers away to stay in an express hotel. This was too crazy.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiaoman was silent for a moment before saying, "Come back quickly. I bought breakfast."

Kang De checked out of the room, rode a shared bike, and dashed all the way home.

Before he could open the door, Old Wang came out from next door with two sets of breakfast. She stretched out her other hand to Kang De. "Give me the key."

Previously, when Old Wang broke in, she used the impact drill and the fire axe to force open the door. After that, she immediately contacted the renovation company to change the lock and gave the key to Kang De.

However, Miss Xiaoman clearly regretted it.

Kang De instinctively wanted to reject her, but when he saw the girl's large eyes and the worry and fear contained in them, his heart softened. He took out the key and handed it to her.

In the future, he would have to lock the bedroom door when he slept. Moreover, when he went to the white fog world, he had to record a snoring sound. Moreover, it was best to go at midnight.

Wang Xiaoman looked like her anger had not dissipated, but she was indeed relieved. The two of them ate breakfast of soup dumplings and soy milk. The girl asked, "Is there really nothing wrong with your body?"

Kang De smiled. "Of course. Don't worry, I've said it many times. Believe me, I'm more afraid of death than you think. If there's a problem, I definitely won't hide it."

Wang Xiaoman looked at him a few times, then lowered her head and took small bites of the soup dumpling.

It was unknown what she was thinking.

After a while, Miss Xiaoman looked up again and said, "It just so happens that I don't have anything to do in the past two days. Have you been cooped up at home for a few days? Auntie has been telling you to exercise more all day. Why don't we go out and see what fun places are around?"

Kang De immediately wanted to refuse. He was busy expanding the map now. How could he have the time to travel?

However, Old Wang took a tissue and wiped his hands before walking towards Kang De's bedroom without any explanation. "I'll use your computer to check if there's anything fun around. Let's go out and relax."

Kang De opened his mouth but did not say anything. He did not stop Old Wang.

As he ate his breakfast, he thought about what he had been thinking about for the past two days.

That was the matter of transmigration… should he tell Old Wang?

His parents were far away in Africa and could not return for a while. The person closest to him here was definitely Old Wang. The other friends and relatives would at most contact him once every few days, but Wang Xiaoman had been staring at him almost every day for the past few days. His dying appearance that day had really frightened this childhood sweetheart.

In other words, after he returned to the other world, it was not easy to hide it from Old Wang.

Moreover, it would become more and more difficult.

Especially after his mother returned, there was no way to hide it.

Therefore, should he tell them frankly?

He was not worried about leaks at all. If he did not even trust his parents and Xiaoman, there would no longer be anyone he could trust in this world. Then life would be too sad.

However, in reality, the other party would definitely be very, very worried. Every time he went to the other world, they would be on tenterhooks, afraid that he would not return… Such worry could be said to be torture.

Therefore, what should he do?

His mind was in a mess as he pondered if he should lay his cards on the table with Old Wang. If so, what should he say?

Old Wang had already opened Kang De's computer.

She entered the password.

Kang De's password had always been to guard against his parents, not Xiaoman. It was the same for her computer.

The girl crossed her legs, sat in Kang De's computer chair, and opened a browser.

There was a problem here.

If the phone and the computer browser were logged into the same account, the search records would be the same. In other words, the browser history on Kang De's phone would also be synchronized with the computer.

Therefore, Old Wang clicked on the search bar and was about to enter the keyword when she saw a row of search records:

What's the arsenal of the People's Armament Department in the River District?

Is there information on the Macau casino?

Who is the underground boss of City H?

Where can I find underground boxing?

Will anyone believe in a Qigong Master?

Is Southeast Asia especially chaotic?

How rich are the drug lords of the Golden Triangle?

What is the criminal law of the People's Republic of China?
