Master of Kaidan-Chapter 546 What is Called Setup that Defies the Heavens?

Chapter 546: Chapter 546 What is Called Setup that Defies the Heavens?

The rusted iron door opened, sliding smoothly, a contrast to its rough exterior. From this alone, the door must have been opened frequently.

The room behind the door wasn’t very large, typically cluttered with several carts, but what was noteworthy was the staircase in the corner, dark and seemingly descending.

Feng Xue, who had already deduced the existence of a basement in the school due to the disappearance positions of the Poisonous Insect Body, wasn’t surprised. However, staring at the staircase, he felt a faint unease.

It wasn’t due to intuitive warnings, but rather because he sensed something slightly familiar.

"It can’t possibly be another thing like Infinite City, right? But according to the rules of Babylon Tower, the Kaidan in this world should already be dead."

With this thought, Feng Xue began to assess the risks. With his current ability to cling to life, there were only two likely threats.

One was a power similar to "Seven Slashes with One Sword" from the dull-haired king, capable of penetrating his twenty-plus layers of Resurrection Armor.

The other was being trapped in a special illusion, stripped of his ability to use powers and phantom objects, gradually scraping him to death.

Apart from these, other possibilities could mostly be handled using the powers "Iron-blooded Tough Guy" and "Hard Fate."

Thinking this, Feng Xue pulled out his pocket watch to check the time. It was now ten fifty. According to the All Things Squeezing Driver’s anti-addiction refresh rule at midnight, this layer of environmental protection could last a little over three hours.

With this 22nd-century toy, he could ignore environmental damage (just as the Adaptation Light allows Nobita to survive in vacuum space, but not withstand a punch from Gian), likely warding off pollution-based abilities. The Resurrection Tomb would ensure that even if a strike blasted all his Resurrection Armor, he could still enter a rapid resurrection protocol.

If it were an illusion or erosion-type ability, he should be able to use the three-hour delay from the Squeezing Driver to contact the descent rules of the real world and finish reading the clause.

As for being chopped into a resurrection state, he would simply summon a sky-based weapon and clear the field.

Setting challenges for oneself was for growth, but playing oneself to death would simply be a joke.

Having thought this through, Feng Xue checked his equipment again, placing all emergency escape tools in easy reach before stepping into the staircase.

The staircase wasn’t long, at most about ten meters, with a vertical distance from the surface not exceeding five meters, followed by a straight passage.

The passage was unlit, but the dim environment was negligible in front of the built-in visual enhancement system of the Masked Rider Armor. Feng Xue could even see the small insects that had crawled through this dark tunnel.

"Insects survive here, which means it probably isn’t a life-forbidding dead zone," Feng Xue noted to himself, but the feeling of familiarity grew stronger.

As he moved forward, some text faintly appeared at the end of his vision. Feng Xue immediately realized that his Golden Finger had come into play again.

He hastened forward, and looking at the door at the end of the corridor, Feng Xue fell silent for a moment. While it was common to have a door before a boss level or a treasure room, wasn’t it a bit too rock and roll to install an automatic door in a 2001 school where even computers were rare?

Name: Phantom Object·Secret Door

Elements: [Solid], [Durability], [Secret Keeping], [Reliable],[Automatic]

Description: As is widely known, the bigger the secret, the more robust and dependable the door needed to guard it. The most reliable aspect of this door is that it can actively determine whether the visitor is qualified to know the secret behind it.

Remark: Are you prepared to face the secret behind the door?

...

"Another one of these headless, brainless Phantom Objects..." Feng Xue looked somewhat disdainfully at the Phantom Object in front of her. Although she said this, it actually still had some meaning; after all, its ability to keep secrets meant that as long as it was installed in places like the document room or archive room, it could function sufficiently. However, this thing could only keep secrets, not eliminate the "desire to uncover secrets," which was far inferior compared to the memorandum from Eastern Country—now Yan Country.

Yet, looking at the "Awakening to the Secrets Behind the Door," Feng Xue pondered for a moment before she pulled out the Feminization Filter and tucked it into her pocket, then started rummaging through her waist bag for items.

Had it been an ordinary door, Feng Xue would have directly taken out an Indescribable Stick to pry it open, but since it was a Phantom Object with properties like [Solid] and [Durability], she naturally couldn’t resort to brute force.

Fortunately...

"Who told you to be an automatic door?" she said, taking a stone stump out of her bundle, tossed it in her hand once, and, adopting a bowling posture, rolled the stone stump out.

The extremely lightweight fake stone stump rolled towards the automatic secret door, and before it even collided, the door had already automatically opened.

Not giving the Secret Door a chance to close, Feng Xue’s figure seemed to transform into a trail of light, following the stone stump into the room.

With the sound of the secret door closing behind her, Feng Xue only felt a blur before her eyes.

It wasn’t a blur from teleportation, but a literal blur, as at that moment, her eyes were filled entirely with mosaics!

"Damn!"

Feng Xue felt the hairs on her body stand on end as the mass of mosaics surrounded a black sphere formed from densely packed text and gibberish, continuously rolling, gathering, and scattering, almost completely covering the entire room.

However, just when Feng Xue’s scalp was tingling, the Mosaic Sphere...

Cracked open!

"Damn!"

Even though it was the same word, the emotions it contained were completely different. Watching the gibberish carefully avoiding the stone stump, Feng Xue followed it using the Shengxuan Dingguan Step. Whenever the stone stump seemed about to stop, she’d kick it forward. This action, akin to dribbling a ball, caused all the surrounding massive mosaics to part way, and finally, Feng Xue saw what was supposed to be the mosaic entity itself—

A beautiful woman...

"Ah spit!"

Feng Xue immediately stuffed the Feminization Filter back into her waist bag, and everything before her eyes changed once again. To Feng Xue’s surprise, what appeared before her was neither some twisted, bizarre creature, nor an undead creation like a Skull Zombie, but rather a sandbox.

To be precise, it was a sandbox holding a 1:1000 scale model of a school.

And the base of this sandbox wasn’t fine sand or soil, but a pile of shredded paper.

"That’s not right! The Feminization Filter should only feminize ’living creatures.’ A sandbox isn’t a living creature, is it?"

Although at this moment she undoubtedly should have been contemplating the connection between the shredded paper and test papers, Feng Xue’s thoughts uncontrollably drifted back to the Feminization Filter.

She continuously gave small kicks to the stone stump at her feet, keeping it in motion to observe this seemingly sandbox "creature."

Then, she finally confirmed—

This thing was truly an ill omen.

"Speaking of which, this is my first encounter with a motionless ill omen."
