《Xianshi Inn (A contemporary Xianxia novel)》Chapter 445

“Clank!” “Clank!” “Clank!” just when Aimee and Detective Lee were still handing out the metal mirrors to some of the officers and detectives at the precinct, the ominous code blue energy wave blew past them. And in a single instant, all the metal mirrors cracked up and shattered into pieces. All those who were handed the mirrors felt a sudden sense of dizziness and lightheadedness, some of those who were already experiencing similar symptoms of more severe degrees even fell onto the ground immediately.
With Jason’s Internal Fortification spell still active in their bodies and the effects of the metal mirrors blocking out most of the effect from the cold blue energy wave, Aimee and Detective Lee just experienced some quick flashes of visions and some random ringings and murmurs in their ears, before they regained control over their senses.
Due to the suddenness of all of this, they were only able to hand out silver mirrors to four more people at the precinct, one of whom was the janitor Earl and three others were already uniformed officers. And right after the energy wave blew through and its effect already manifested on everyone, they found that everyone that was not handed a mirror went into some kind of instant coma or deep sleep, where their breathings are flat, shallow and in sync. And at the same time, they saw some kind of human shaped faint shadows appearing near the passed out SJPD personnels, moving, looking around and seemingly saying things but they couldn’t hear a word.
Blue, green and dirt brown smoke started rising from different corners of the precinct, but they did not trigger the sprinklers at all - it was as if it was some other kind of smoke that did not originate from fires.
“What the hell!?” Detective Lee asked when helping the three uniformed officers sit down on the floor and a sofa nearby, while Aimee helped Earl sit down on a chair: “What was that? Are they pulled into a - a limbo as well?”

“No, limbos are not usually like this.” Aimee said to Detective Lee: “Hang in here and look after them. I will ask Jason what is hap - ”
Just this moment, a silver human shape manifested in the thin air and came close to Aimee and Detective Lee, after a short while, the human shape’s face became that of Jason’s and it started talking: “Aimee, Detective Lee, this is a crossover limbo. I don’t have a lot of time to explain, but please lock the doors and windows immediately, no one should come in or go out. And try to see if you can find someone to help us.”
“Okay.” Aimee took out her phone, but noticed that her phone had no signal at all, and the screen kept flickering like it was not even functioning correctly: “Shit! Phone’s a bust, where are you? What can we do to help?”
“Must be the limbo enclosing you in it and reshaping the environment. After closing all the windows and doors, immediately find a closed space far away from the evidence room.” Jason said: “And stick together! I am not sure what kind of things could cross over, but I am sure nothing good will do. And when you lock yourselves in, try to construct a defense array. I will try to help you on my end!”
“Okay!” Aimee stood up: “I will carry as many officers away as possible!”
“Nonono!” Jason immediately waved his hand: “Don’t move anyone! There’s no telling how their minds will get affected if they’re moved! Just keep yourselves safe for now! I will let you know if I figured out anything!”
After delivering the message, the silver human shape shattered and dissipated in the air - this was because Jason had to discontinue the power input to the spell, and redirect his power into something else - defending some of the shadows of the officers and detectives inside the limbo, against some shadowy creatures that spawned from some dark corners of the limbo.

From Jason’s point of view, he was also inside the precinct. But the precinct he was in now was quite different from the precinct he was in before the energy wave exploded. The walls were old and partially covered with some kind of dark vines with prickly flowers and branches, the ceiling was all cracked up and leaking some sort of dark green liquid, and all the people in this precinct, who did not get hist metal mirrors in time, were all pulled into this limbo, all wondering where they were.
From one dark corner of the “precinct” where some file cabinets were placed came a dark green, long and slippery looking leech monster with the size of a giant dog and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth and tiny human arms on the different sides of its body, looking like some abomination of a centipede. Three uniformed officers who got pulled into this limbo were shocked at the sight of this monster, which presented the monster with an opportunity to lunge at one of them with its mouth wide open.
Jason came around in time and launched a palm attack at the monster from several feet away, a silver palm struck the leech monster with human hands on its body, crushing the human hands it touched and thrusting it out of the window behind.
“What the hell is happening!?” one of the three officers asked: “Who are you?”
“You wouldn’t know my name anyway.” Jason asked with a frown: “How are you feeling? Besides all this weirdness, do you see or hear anything weird?”
“Besides all of THIS?” one of the officers looked like he was on the verge of freaking out: “What do you mean besides all of this? Is there anything else?”
“No time to explain. Just tell me what you see and what you hear?” Jason slapped the officer and asked: “Is it dark? Do you hear voices in your ears or in your head? Do you see yourself lying on the floor?”
“I - I hear a distant voice calling my name.” another officer standing on the side with a scar on his left cheek said: “This place has some kind of pale light - can you tell me where we are?”
“We’re in a limbo.” Jason clapped his hands and conjured up three silver guns and three silver long daggers with engravings on them: “Stay here and don’t move! And focus! This place is a mental realm! Remember that you are not here!”
“Help! Help!” cries of help started coming from all over the precinct, and along came roars, grunts and shouts of pain, fear and anger.

Saint's Supporter
Dumped into a world by myself, set up with a class that requires others to excel with just over a week to prepare for a fight with a literal god. This is just another betrayal to add to the list. I won't stop until I find the person who put me in this situation, along with my friend who I dragged into this mess. Transferring to another world and gaining special powers is a dream for some, but if they were dropped into my shoes... they'd probably give up. But I won't. This story has the following elements: Male MC Light RPG mechanics (no in-story stat tables) Non-standard class for the MC Moderate violence A mix of solo fights and group battles with a balance of tactics, skill and ability usage If you're looking for the below, you may be disappointed: Instantly overpowered MC (no prior skills in combat, every bit of growth is earned) Female MC (duh) Explicit sex (may be referenced, but no NSFW chapters) Health bars (damage taken and given reflects reality) Harem Gore and ultra-violence **This story is a First Draft, changes may take place during the process. Three chapters per week at minimum.** **So, this is set up as a GameLit transported to a new world story initially, but it focuses on how such a system would work in real life. There are levels, abilities and mana pools, but damage and health are realistic and combat is fast and frantic. I think that is an interesting mix. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments. I'm always happy to discuss anything in relation to the story.**
