《Xianshi Inn (A contemporary Xianxia novel)》Chapter 446
Advertisement
Crossover limbos are a special kind of limbo, and the kind that usually requires some special powers to create. When this kind of limbos occur, a whole area could be entirely enclosed in them, which could be entered and exited. The flow of time in crossover limbos was much slower than that in normal limbos, where people could spend days in one while time only lasted a few minutes on the outside. In crossover limbos, under almost all circumstances the speed in which time flowed was the same as the time outside of them.
Another crucial difference between crossover limbos and normal limbos was that the constructs and entities in the crossover limbos could “cross over” to the real world, and vice versa, which made them somewhat close to an actual realm instead of just “bubbles” in which people’s minds got caught. This made crossover limbos especially dangerous, because while people’s minds could get pulled into the limbos, their bodies remain vulnerable because they would have no way of defending themselves, which meant that while individuals who got pulled into the limbos could be physically incapacitated for a longer period of time, the monsters and creatures inside of the limbos could also manifest in the real world and harm the bodies directly.
And while Jason knew all of this to his heart and he even asked Jianmen to train him to deal with this a few times, he was still extremely nervous when he actually went into one - he went into this limbo willingly, because he recognized it the moment the energy wave exploded from the little wooden sculpture, after which the sculpture instantly turned to dust and moving shadows started crawling from all corners of the evidence room.
After catching the officer who was pointing his gun at him and placing him on the side, Jason drew a silver circle on the ground around him as soon as possible, then he focused his power of mind and will and jumped into the limbo.

Just like a lot of normal limbos, the environment of this crossover limbo reflected the environment of the physical world outside: Jason was still in the evidence room, the shelves and boxes looked mostly the same, it was just that the lighting in the environment around was pale and yellow, as if they were all showered in some kind of low power light bulb, or that they were in the footage of an old movie.
“Stay in here.” Jason took a look at the confused officer, and immediately noticed some kind of energy thread connecting the officer’s back to the ground, “Don’t move, I’ll be back for you.”
“Wait? What ...” the officer still tried to ask Jason about something, but Jason just shut him up by conjuring a silver gun and a silver machete out of thin air and handed them to him: “Stay right here, if you see anything weird, just attack them, understand?!”
When Jason got out of the evidence room, he saw that many officers in the precinct were indeed pulled into the limbo, many of whom appeared to be either not fully conscious or awake, while the others had started looking around, looking at the cracked walls, broken windows and weird shadowy vines crawling over the ceiling and some of the walls. And before long, he located Aimee and Detective Lee, and perhaps some other officers who were not pulled into the limbo - they appeared in this world as human shaped flickering shadows, not that dissimilar to the shadows manifested in the murdered couple’s bedroom when he tried the spell to replay memories in the room.
Sensing some kind of dangerous being is inching closer, Jason cast a spell on himself to manifest himself in the real world through the crossover properties of this limbo to warn Aimee and Detective Lee about this limbo, and instructed them to find a safe place to hide - the metal mirrors he gave them earlier did stop them from being pulled into this limbo, but they did not stop the limbo from establishing certain connections with them, which would mean that they might not be able to just leave the area of the limbo without some sort of unwanted repercussions.

After warning Aimee and Detective Lee, Jason rushed to defend three officers close by, who were about to be attacked by a creature of this limbo, but then he heard more screamings from officers in the other parts of this precinct.
Several more leech monsters with human arms on their bodies jumped out from the corners of the precinct and started attacking the officers. A group of five officers were able to dodge the lunge attack of one of these monsters, while another two officers who were alone and not able to defend themselves got caught by the dripping hands, who were then pulled into long shapes from different angles and finally torn apart like broken rags and devoured by the leech monsters’ mouths full of razor sharp teeth.
“Ricky!” “John!” the five officers cried out in anger, as they grabbed the chairs and fire extinguishers around them and tried to get into a defense formation to fend off the other attacks from the leech monsters.
Jason swung his silver spear in the air and shot out three silver energy spikes, which instantly pierced through the bodies of the three monsters and nailed them on the floor. The leech monsters did not let out screeches like Jason expected, but they cried out in pain in human voices, and even started uttering English words: “It hurts - it hurts! Why … why hurt us? Why?”
“What, the, fuck!?” one of the five officers lowered the fire distinguisher in his hands: “What is happening?”
“Take these and stay where you are in defense formation.” Jason conjured five silver guns and five long daggers and threw them at the five officers: “No time to explain! Just… just stay alive!”
Some more screams came from the floor above, and Jason had no choice but to jump directly up, leaving a hole on the ceiling and into the second floor. A chair was thrown his way right after he landed, and he had to twirl his silver pen-spear to redirect it to the side, bashing a double headed leech monster in one of its heads.
“Come with us - come home with us!” the two headed leech monster also had a much bigger size than the other leech monsters, and it was uttering much more coherent words in several voices in unison: “It hurts! It hurts! Come with us!”

Robinson Crusoe (Completed)
Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)-a castaway who spends twenty-eight years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued.
