Chapter 307: Thuds in the Night

After Chen Chen’s invitation, the youth was silent for a while.

He seemed to be considering whether he would receive a different treatment after following Chen Chen and whether he could get a chance to turn his current life around.

In the eyes of the teenager, although it appeared that Chen Chen’s side was stronger, it was evident that going with Chen Chen was risky. If he stayed with the original team, he might live on in adversity for a while longer. Whereas with Chen Chen’s group, they seemed intent on confronting the mysterious phenomena.

“I need to think about it, Your Excellency.”

In the end, the youth lowered his head slightly and said this.

Chen Chen was not disappointed, but nodded and agreed.

He looked at the sky. It was already evening in the dimension of Gantz, so he said again, “Then give me an answer tomorrow.”

After saying that, Chen Chen left the group of people for X-112 to deal with while he led a Black Knight to the room where the team leader was.

After all, he had just undergone violent mental turmoil. If it were not for the support of NZT-48, Chen Chen would have passed out. Even if he was not in a coma, Chen Chen was at his limit by now and urgently needed a place to rest and rejuvenate.

In that case, the school occupied by this group of people was naturally the safest place so far. After all, if there were any danger here, it would not have become a gathering place for this group.

The room belonging to the leader of this doomsday survival team was located in the first dormitory of the teachers’ apartment. The windows here were also covered with newspapers and curtains. In addition, the room had thick bedding and complete living facilities. It was even on par with the average starred hotel.

When he saw this, Chen Chen immediately took off his PK Armor, ate a few energy bars to replenish his body’s water and nutrition, then collapsed directly onto the bed.

A strong wave of exhaustion struck him and Chen Chen fell asleep promptly before he could think about anything else.

Elsewhere, Fujiwara Aoki had his wrist attached, then he was made to join the rest in the hall of the teaching building to be monitored. The Black Knights who had no feelings and would never tire were fully adequate to deal with this group of people.

As the sun set, the brightly burning ball of fire slowly descended over the skyline of Tokyo. It was as if some unnamable shadow was slowly spreading. The originally well-lit metropolis was gradually replaced by an expanse of darkness.

After even the fire was put out, nighttime Tokyo became even eerier...

Chen Chen slept fitfully the entire night.

Perhaps it was because Chen Chen had looked directly into the “Eye” during the day. Even after he fell asleep, his brain was still aching faintly as if a blunt knife was stabbing in bit by bit. In just a few hours, Chen Chen was sweating profusely in his sleep.

In a thick haze, Chen Chen seemed to be dreaming...

“Thud...”

“Thud...”

“Thud...”

In the dream, something seemed to be ceaselessly, quietly thudding. The sound was muffled and soft. If one listened carefully, the sound was gone again.

Even so, as more time passed, the thudding seemed to become a little louder, rising from an insignificant volume to an increasingly distinct sound.

The Woman in Dreams?

Chen Chen suddenly woke up in the dream at an unknown point in time. This was very common for Chen Chen. After all, with his control over his brain, he could easily regain consciousness in his dream.

In other words, as long as Chen Chen wanted to, he could transform any dream into a lucid dream. This ability came from Chen Chen’s extremely powerful self-control.

Moreover, he had no sense of fear in his dream. At this time, in a sober state of mind, Chen Chen subconsciously looked to the door, but he did not see the figure of the mythical woman in white.

Could it be that this was not a mysterious phenomenon?

Seeing this, Chen Chen simply started to ponder in his dream. Following that, he once again heard a certain sound by his ear.

It was a sound of dull impact with an inexplicable rhythm, like a clock, constantly thudding in rhythm.

“Thud...”

“Thud...”

“Thud...”

This sound could not be made by the Black Knight. He was guarding the room and he would not make any meaningless sound.

Furthermore, based on the direction of the sound, it might not be in this room, but the next one...

Oh no.

Suddenly, Chen Chen seemed to realize something. He left the dream at once and slowly opened his eyes, only to realize that the room was pitch dark.

“Sir Commander, the room next door...”

Just as Chen Chen was awake, the voice of X-112 came from the Bluetooth headset that had not been taken off.

“Shh. I know.”

Chen Chen raised his index finger and made the gesture for silence, then immediately put on the PK Armor and adjusted his vision to thermal imaging.

Although thermal imaging could not penetrate a wall that exceeded a certain thickness, it was at least still very convenient in this dark night when he could not even see his own hands.

At this time, the dull thudding sound continued. The sound was not loud and it might even be ignored in normal times. However, in the deep night of doomsday, when it was so quiet that even one’s heartbeat could be heard, it was as clear as a lamp in the night.

“Thud...”

“Thud...”

The sound came again and again as if it would never stop. It was very peculiar.

“Impossible. When I asked the Black Knights to escort the group out, I’ve already checked every room. There should be no one next door.”

X-112 was a little confused. “Could someone have slipped through the cracks?”

“There’s no point in guessing about this now.”

Chen Chen whispered, “I’m already awake. Let the Black Knight go next door to check again. Plus, I suspect that...”

At this point, Chen Chen’s eyes were incomparably serious. The image of the hanged woman quickly flashed through his mind.

Seeing this, X-112 did not hesitate anymore but immediately controlled the Black Knight to open the door and walk toward the room next door where the sound was ceaselessly coming from.

“Click...”

With the sharp sound of a door lock being opened, the door of the next room was opened.

It seemed that this disruption had broken a certain balance and the thudding noise stopped abruptly at the same moment.

“Sir Commander...”

It felt as if eternity had passed or perhaps it was only two or three minutes. The voice of X-112 came from the headset again. “The next room has been explored and no signs of life have been found here, just...”

“I got it. I’ll go over now.”

Chen Chen did not ask any more questions but walked directly out of the room and came to the next door.

This must also be a room for high-level members of the team. Although the facilities in the room were not as comprehensive as the team leader’s room, it was also considered luxurious in a doomsday where resources were scarce.

Chen Chen just quickly glanced around the layout, then paid it no mind. After that, he followed the Black Knight’s gaze, only to see that in the wall before the Black Knight, there was an extra dent that had appeared out of thin air.

Chen Chen stepped forward and touched the dent, only to get white dust on his hand.

This dent was newly hammered in and the white plaster on the wall had not even fallen off. At this time, as Chen Chen touched it, a piece of white plaster finally fell off, exposing the red brick and concrete within the wall...

At this sight, Chen Chen fell completely silent.
