Chapter 191: You Can Return to Your Own World
He explained in detail to Lynn what he had seen on that website.
It was a webpage without a domain name or address, with the entire page being that kind of unsettling black color that makes people uncomfortable just looking at it.
There was only one option on it;
after clicking in, a photo would appear before you.
The photo seemed to capture a page from some kind of book. The page didn't resemble paper, but rather seemed more like the skin of some creature, covered densely with many incomprehensible written characters.
Lynn asked doubtfully, "You're saying you took a picture of that webpage with your phone?"
Bai Yi grabbed his hair, struggling to recall as he frowned, "Seems like it... my state seemed a bit off at the time... but I don't know what was wrong, maybe I was too sleepy, or maybe... anyway, I was just groggily..."
He suddenly paused, saying:
"I think... I entered my name on it."
Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately became serious. He promptly opened the main door, brought Bai Yi into the workshop, and turned on his phone.
"Let's take a look!"If it really was because of that experience that he got pulled into this world.
Then perhaps they could find a way for him to return to his own world.
But Lynn was already certain.
He had undoubtedly encountered a paranormal incident.
Light slowly brightened on the phone's cracked screen as Bai Yi watched with bated breath.
Soon, the phone booted up.
Bai Yi quickly opened the photo gallery, and as soon as he entered, Lynn saw one after another very explicit, sexy pictures, with a very familiar male lead who was obviously Bai Yi himself.
Mixed among them were a few photos of Bai Yi wearing what seemed to be his girlfriend's clothes, striking seductive poses!
"Eek!!!"
Bai Yi's eyes instantly widened.
"Wait! Wait! Personal privacy! Let me find it first! Big Brother, don't look!"
Lynn glanced at him and said, "You play quite wild, huh? Cosplay or role reversal?"
Bai Yi's head turned red like a boiling teakettle. Wide-eyed with his heart pounding wildly, he quickly scrolled through the photo gallery and soon found that particular photo.
"Big Brother, this is it!"
Lynn looked toward the screen and immediately saw the photo he had taken in the image, along with that page densely covered with text within the photo.
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
He didn't recognize these characters, but for some reason, just glancing at them gave you a strong sense of discomfort, as if something was pulling at your gaze, making you sink deep into it.
Lynn quickly composed himself.
He carefully browsed through it, and then at the very bottom position of that contract, he saw several computer-input Chinese characters.
【Bai Yi】
Could this be the reason he fell into this world?
Lynn stared intently at that photo, trying hard to find details within it, and just then, he suddenly keenly noticed that in the reflection of the computer screen in the photo he took, he could vaguely see Bai Yi's face from that time.
But that wasn't the main point.
Lynn immediately saw that right behind Bai Yi in the reflection, there seemed to be a black shadow standing.
"Who's behind you?"
Lynn inquired seriously.
Prompted by Lynn's reminder, Bai Yi also immediately noticed the black shadow behind him in the reflection. His whole body shuddered instantly, a chilling sensation rising from within.
"I... I don't know either..." Bai Yi trembled as he said:
"At that time I seemed very dazed... I didn't feel anything behind me. After I left the internet cafe, I... I seemed to have forgotten about this matter..."
Lynn fell into thought.
If this was related to Bai Yi entering this world.
Then could the text on this photo also come from the Dark World?
He raised his head and said calmly:
"I'll ask my master;
we might get some answers!"
...
Bloodsaw's bedroom.
Bloodsaw put on his reading glasses and looked seriously at the content displayed on the object Lynn handed over, saying:
"Disciple, how do you have something like this? Where did you get it from?"
Lynn sat cross-legged on the chair, saying earnestly, "This was taken by my human friend before he fell into this world. I always feel this is related to how he ended up here. Do you recognize the writing on it?"
Upon hearing this, Bloodsaw looked carefully for a while, took off his glasses, and said seriously:
"I've seen similar records in some documents. This seems to be incantation text from an ancient adherent race in the Dark World. Let me see."
He stood up.
From his underground collection of books, he found a thick tome.
He flipped through that ancient text, carefully identifying the content, then read aloud while cross-referencing:
"I shall serve the master of blood and flesh, I shall follow the call of the Ancient Gods, offering my flesh and blood as sacrifice to the grace of my deity, I shall abide by the codex, falling into the eternal silent night, I shall devote myself, awaiting my deity's summons and responding accordingly, Signed by: xx."
Bloodsaw raised his head, looked at Lynn, raised his eyebrows and said:
"This is a sacrificial contract from an evil god. Your friend didn't sign something like this, did he?"
Lynn nodded upon hearing this, saying, "He signed it, but he didn't know the content on it."
Bloodsaw closed his eyes, handed the phone back to him, and said, "Then that makes sense. Many Monarchs and Root-level entities in this world proclaim themselves as evil gods, then spread calamities across various worlds to satisfy their evil purposes."
"It seems your friend's world has already been targeted by that 'evil god'."
"Signing such a contract equals establishing a connection with the evil god. The signatory will inevitably be summoned by that evil god to the world where they reside. However, it appears your friend encountered some small accident during the process of being pulled into this world."
He looked deeply at Lynn, naturally seeing through Lynn's thoughts at a glance.
Lynn pondered, "So that means, he can't go back either?"
"No."
Bloodsaw gave a negative answer, looking up and saying:
"He might return very soon."
Upon hearing this, Lynn was instantly shocked, his face full of astonishment as he said:
"Teacher, what did you say?"
Bloodsaw shook his head and explained, "Because this is essentially still a summoning contract, just like in the Sight, where other worlds use special rituals to request a certain creature from the Dark World to descend."
"They only briefly descend to this world, as short as a few hours, as long as a few days, but absolutely never exceeding one month. Unless they die, otherwise when the time comes, they will immediately be sent back to their original plane."
"This is also the most economical and efficient method used by evil gods in this world to pull creatures from other worlds in, since they won't let them live long anyway."
Lynn was utterly astonished, saying:
"So that means, my fellow townsman can still go back?!"
Bloodsaw said seriously, "Most likely yes. If nothing unexpected happens, he's basically equivalent to a summoned entity now. As long as he doesn't die, returning is just a matter of time."
...
Lynn walked out of his teacher's room with tightly knitted brows.
He raised his head, looking gravely at Bai Yi who had been waiting anxiously in the main hall.
Seeing him return, Bai Yi hurriedly rushed up to meet him, saying:
"Big Brother! How was it?! Do you know what's written on it?"
Lynn let out a breath, a trace of a bitter smile appearing on his face.
Then he extended his hand toward Bai Yi.
"Congratulations, Bai Yi. You're much more fortunate than all the other creatures who have fallen into this world."
Bai Yi was taken aback, opening his mouth but not understanding what Big Brother meant.
Lynn adjusted his monocle, smiling slightly as he said:
"What I mean is, you should be able to return to your own world within the next few days."
