Embers Ad Infinitum

p>Long Yuehong hesitated for a moment and said, “But we aren’t sure if we will immediately lose ourselves once we step past the gates and enter the school.”

Without waiting for Bai Chen’s response, he turned around and said seriously, “I’ll try to walk in.
Observe from here.
If I disappear or appear abnormal, it means that this plan isn’t feasible.
Drive away from Tai City immediately and request help from the company.”

Bai Chen looked into Long Yuehong’s eyes and fell silent for a few seconds.
“Alright.”

She didn’t attempt to persuade him as if she could see an unshakeable determination in his eyes.

Long Yuehong didn’t waste any more time.
He slung the Berserker assault rifle over his shoulder and prepared to walk to the gates of Tai City’s No.
1 Senior High School.

Suddenly, Bai Chen shouted at him, “Leave the gun here.
Also, try your best not to be discovered by the guard when you enter.
Old Ge previously said that he suspects that interactions with people in the dream that exceed some normality will trigger a very terrifying change.”

The reason for leaving the gun behind was the latter.
Otherwise, the students wouldn’t turn a blind eye to a fully armed person’s attempt to enter the high school, even if the guard didn’t see him.

Long Yuehong nodded and placed the Berserker assault rifle down.
He also pulled up his clothes and covered the various items on his belt.

He soon entered Tai City’s No.
1 Senior High School against the crowd.
With the help of the people coming and going, he hid from the guards.

After moving forward for a while, he realized that he could still think.
He also knew that he was Long Yuehong.
As he sighed inwardly at the changes in the dream rules, he turned around and waved at Bai Chen.

At this moment, there weren’t many students at the gates.
Bai Chen could only circle to the side and skillfully climb over the wall.

The two of them met in the shadows to the side of a teaching building and discussed where to find Jiang Baimian and the others next.
The answer was very obvious: on the rooftop of the teaching building straight ahead!

It was the designated spot for Xu Qiao to question Du Shaochong!

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong knew that they had to race against time because they didn’t know when they would lose themselves in a dream and lose the ability to save their teammates and themselves.

The two of them pretended to be parents here to find their child.
They walked along the corridors, aisles, and stairs that were mostly devoid of students and approached the rooftop of the first teaching building.

On the way, they encountered many students in the dreamscape.
Fortunately, the students only curiously sized the duo up and didn’t question them.

However, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen couldn’t be sure if these students would inform their teachers about their encounter with someone in strange clothes later.
They could only speed up and head straight to their destination covertly.

Finally, they waited for two minutes.
After the remaining students went downstairs, they found an opportunity to enter the stairs that led to the rooftop.

They ran.

In the time it took a few breaths, they saw an ajar iron door.

After arriving on the rooftop, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong quickly examined their surroundings.
However, there was nobody in their field of vision.

Be it Xu Qiao, Du Shaochong, or Genava, they weren’t here!

Long Yuehong retracted his gaze and calmly said, “We probably don’t have time to search the entire school.”

He meant that since they couldn’t find Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, and Genava on the rooftop, they could only evacuate temporarily and come back later.

Bai Chen fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “Alright.
Before that, search every corner here.”

Here referred to the rooftop.

“Okay.” Long Yuehong didn’t object.

The two of them kept their backs together and prepared to circle around the few obstacles on the rooftop to observe the areas that had been blocked and couldn’t be seen in detail.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong had just circled around the cement protrusion that led down to the iron door and arrived on the other side of the rooftop when their eyes lit up.
They saw the silver-black smart bot, Genava!

Genava was circling in his spot.
The red glow in his eyes constantly flickered, but he didn’t make a sound.

“Old Ge!” Long Yuehong called out.

Genava stopped and looked at them.

After the red light flickered for a while, Genava looked around.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Chen asked warily.

Genava’s slightly synthetic voice revealed a hint of confusion.
“I’ve been walking for so long, but I never left this place… Why did you come in? How aren’t you lost?”

Bai Chen replied concisely, “Something abnormal happened to the dreamscape.
We came in to find you.
Where’s Team Leader and Hey?”

The red glow in Genava’s eyes flickered brighter as if he had encountered a bug and was stuck processing an invalid calculation..
A few seconds later, he finally said in a deep voice, “They left by themselves.
I don’t know where they went…”
