292 WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME?
Why did Bai Chen end up in this boring place again?
Yes, it was a place where Bai Chen could only see white when he turned his gaze to look around him. It looked like he was in a room that had only white in it, but how could he say that it was a room when he couldn’t even tell the boundary that separated it from the other rooms?
Bai Chen could only see white, but it seemed that there was no limit to it. He couldn’t even see the end of the space he was currently in, and that was why he looked both confused and terrified as he stood in that strange place.
“I remember Bai Lang summoning me to this place the first day I was in this world,” he muttered to himself as he recalled the memory. “But, where is Bai Lang now? Maybe he wants to discuss something with me, right?”
Bai Chen once again shifted his gaze to scan his surroundings to look for the white wolf. The last time he saw the little wolf was… four days ago? It had indeed only been four days since he saw the crazy little wolf that was the boss of the system in his head, but a lot of things had happened during that period, and that was why it felt like it had been an eternity since he last saw the wolf that resembled a ghost.
“Where are you, Bai Lang?” As he continued to bring his blue eyes to scan his surroundings, he started asking questions in a louder voice, hoping that Bai Lang would be able to hear him before suddenly appearing in front of him.
After all, the little wolf was indeed ghost-like in that it would often appear suddenly without any prior notice, and it could even float in the air.
That was why Bai Chen even looked up when he was trying to find the white wolf. Even above his head, he could only see boundless white instead of the blue sky he used to see in the normal world, and that was why he felt uneasy as he became more and more convinced that this space was indeed unusual.
Moreover, he still couldn’t find the little wolf, and that was why he felt even more uneasy as he stood in his position. When he glanced at his clothes, he could see his body was clad in his usual boring white robes, and even his brown hair was still long. Indeed, he was still Dong Lang’s Prince Bai Chen, not his old self, and he had to let out a huge sigh of disappointment when he realized that.
.....
Suddenly, he heard a sound, and it sounded like something was flashing in front of him. Thus, he looked ahead of him once again, only to see how the whiteness that surrounded him quickly changed to another scene, and suddenly became a forest all around him.
Bai Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he witnessed the change. When he was summoned by Bai Lang a while ago, the white space did not suddenly change into anything, and that was why he felt alert now when the space had suddenly changed.
Is it a forest? Yes, Bai Chen could tell that because there were so many large trees around, and somehow he felt that the forest was familiar.
Is it the Forbidden Forest? Bai Chen felt even more anxious when he realized that it was indeed the Forbidden Forest where he was currently standing.
“W-why did I come back to this forest?” Anxious, Bai Chen asked another question even if he didn’t see anyone in the forest. Even Bai Lang wasn’t there, so how could he find the answer to his question?
But then something else suddenly appeared before his eyes. Previously, he had only witnessed how the environment around him rapidly changed from a white space to a forest, but now he could make out a figure that had suddenly appeared not far from where he stood.
The figure was a man with long brown hair and wearing a dull white outfit. Reflexively, Bai Chen once again glanced at his own body, and it felt like his heartbeat had suddenly stopped at this moment.
“T-that person is wearing the same clothes as me. Is he... the real Bai Chen in this world?” Bai Chen felt even more nervous as his wide blue eyes kept staring at the figure that had just appeared in the forest.
When he looked at the man’s face, he could see how the man had the same face as him, and he felt like he was looking at his reflection in a mirror if he only focused on the person’s face.
However, when he observed the man’s position, he could see that the man wasn’t just his reflection in the mirror. He stood stiffly now, while the man knelt on the ground holding a sword that was stabbed in the ground.
Bai Chen also recognized the sword. It was Wu Jiang.
But, why did the original Bai Chen of this world suddenly appear in the Forbidden Forest while holding Wu Jiang in that position? It seemed like the figure kneeling on the ground didn’t even notice that he was being observed by another figure there, and Bai Chen who was standing not far from him concluded that the man probably couldn’t see him right now.
Even if it seemed like they were in the same space right now, Bai Chen noticed that they were in two different worlds, and he even concluded that he might be dreaming right now.
And when he still couldn’t find the answer to the questions in his head, Bai Chen suddenly heard how the other Bai Chen who was kneeling on the ground started muttering something.
“Why did you betray me?”
That was what Bai Chen heard from another Bai Chen, and he frowned after hearing that. Who had betrayed Bai Chen in this world?
Bai Chen couldn’t guess, but then the figure that was previously kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up on his two feet while holding the sword tightly, and the man started screaming.
“WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME, WU JINHAI?”
Bai Chen froze, and he couldn’t even do anything about it when the other Bai Chen suddenly drove the sword toward his neck before using it to slash his throat.
