Zongman: The post-2D era

The lights in the school cafeteria flickered a few times, and the projection screen lit up for no reason. The picture was distorted into a chaotic sea of ​​code, but a line of words clearly appeared in the center:

"Welcome to Dianlian Space, the invitation letter has been updated."

The students around them exclaimed in surprise, and Feng Feng and Yui looked at each other with relief in their eyes.

Feng Feng whispered: "This invitation is related to yesterday's code block."

He held Yui's hand tightly, and the two of them flashed and rushed to the front where the blue code line was connected in front of everyone's astonished eyes.

Two streams of blue code data rushed directly through the school's guardrail, leaving the restaurant in an uproar.

Outside the school fence, across the ditch and ridges, there is a vegetable planting base.

Feng Feng saw the blue line in his eyes until it fell into a green vegetable field.

The vegetables in the vegetable field turned yellow and withered in an instant, but a vegetable in the center suddenly grew into a towering tree-like monster.

The green vegetable monster with the word Green Grievance marked on its head shook its leaves, and the leaves hit the guardrail like flying knives, splashing sparks and making continuous clanging sounds.

At the edge of the railing, Feng Feng stood sideways, his solid back was like an insurmountable barrier, protecting Yui tightly behind him.

There was both vigilance and a hint of teasing in his eyes, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He complained to the seemingly ferocious but actually slightly funny vegetable monster:

"I wonder if this 'BOSS' of the vegetable world is malnourished? He's so big, but his attack power is like a joke."

"It looks... well, it looks quite like the stir-fried vegetables in the cafeteria at night. It's quite appetizing."

Upon hearing this, Yui couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her bright eyes curved into crescent shapes, revealing a bit of playfulness and tenderness.

The laughter was crisp and pleasant, as if it could dispel the tense atmosphere caused by the sudden change.

She patted Feng Feng's back gently, signaling him to relax, while her eyes flashed with curiosity and anticipation, as if she was full of interest and desire to explore everything that was to come.

The two stood side by side, and even when facing unknown challenges, their tacit understanding and trust made everything less daunting.

Feng Feng walked towards the railing lightly, being extremely cautious with every step, for fear of disturbing the funny and weird vegetable monster.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he quickly searched the surroundings for the best climbing spot.

After finding a relatively stable horizontal railing, he took a deep breath, leaned his body slightly, held the railing tightly with both hands, kicked his legs hard, and flew into the air like a cheetah, nimbly climbing over the railing with smooth and powerful movements.

As he drew a perfect arc in the air, he cleverly avoided several whistling leaf knives. The sharp leaves only left a slight sound of breaking wind behind him, as if they were praising his agility.

When landing, Feng Feng tapped his toes lightly and his body was steady without any shaking, showing his extraordinary skills as an explorer.

He quickly adjusted his posture, locked his eyes on the mutated vegetable monster again, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, ready to face the next challenge.

With a low shout from Feng Feng, he quickly formed seals with his hands. The air seemed to be ignited, and a fiery force gathered in his palms.

"Art fire escape ho fireball."

In an instant, a ball of dazzling flame condensed and formed in front of him, turning into a huge fireball, carrying enough heat to burn everything, and rushed towards the Green Vegetable Monster with a roar.

In the light of the fire, Feng Feng's face was firm and calm, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

The moment the fireball came into contact with the vegetable monster, a deafening roar erupted, and the flames, like a greedy beast, instantly devoured the huge body of the vegetable monster.

Flames shot up into the sky, dyeing the surrounding night into a brilliant orange-red, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and destruction.

The leaves of the vegetable monster twisted and curled in the flames, eventually turning into ashes, and its seemingly indestructible trunk gradually softened in the sea of ​​​​fire, making crackling sounds, and finally collapsed with a loud bang, turning into a pile of black charcoal slag.

In the firelight, Feng Feng's figure appeared particularly tall and straight. He slowly retracted his momentum, his eyes showing both confidence in his strength and awe of the unknown challenge.

Everything around seemed to be still, leaving only the sound of burning flames echoing in the night sky.

Just as Feng Feng was about to turn around and show a victorious smile to Yui in the distance, an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind.

He turned back suddenly and saw a faint green light flickering in the remains of the vegetable monster that was completely devoured by the flames, like a ghost fire in the underworld, gradually gathering into shape.

The ball of light twisted and expanded, and with a deafening roar, the vegetable monster came back to life in an incredible way. It was surrounded by dark green energy, and its leaves were sharp as blades again, rustling in the night wind.

Its eyes were wide open with flames of revenge flashing in them. Although its huge body was incomplete, it looked even more hideous and terrifying.

Without waiting for Feng Feng to react, the Green Vegetable Monster began to wave its arms wildly. Countless flying leaf knives turned into green streams of light, and with a shrill whistling sound, they attacked him in an overwhelming manner.

The air seemed to be cut into cracks. Each flying leaf contained enough sharpness and speed to penetrate steel, shrouding the surrounding space in a storm of death.

Feng Feng's figure flashed, and he shuttled through the dense array of flying leaf knives like a ghost. Every leaf that attempted to touch him was cleverly avoided by his figure by a hair's breadth, leaving behind a trail of afterimages and a slight cutting sound in the air.

He fixed his eyes on the reborn vegetable monster and silently recited an ancient and mysterious spell in his heart. A faint blue-purple light began to glow around his body, which was a sign of the power of death.

"Broken Path No. - Red Fire Cannon!"

Feng Feng suddenly roared, quickly formed seals with his hands, and hot flames jumped up from his fingertips. Then he pushed forward, and the air seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.

A huge fireball appeared out of thin air, brighter and more violent than before. It was not just a condensation of flames, but also contained the power of purification and destruction.

The fire suddenly went out, but it failed to touch the vegetable monster at all. It was still roaring in the ruins, and the dark green light around it became even brighter, like a demon of the night, hideous and arrogant.

Feng Feng frowned as he moved flexibly in the rain of flying leaves and knives. Every dodge seemed so difficult and decisive.

He knew Naruto well, the power of the Shinigami was ineffective, conventional attacks were no longer effective, and more special means had to be taken.

At this moment, Feng Feng flipped his wrist and took out an ancient torch, which was a sacred object containing the power of nature that he had lit in a special ceremony deep in the bonfire forest.

"The essence of the mutation is the online game invading reality. The prop torch from the online game should be effective."

Chapter 763: Sword Art Online: Disappearance

Wednesday, July 31

"Is this the video of Feng Feng dealing with the monster? The power of the Dead Sea of ​​Fire was useless? Is that torch from the Bonfire Forest?"

Yukinoshita Haruno asked, crossing her arms and looking at the teachers present, then her eyes turned to the video.

The torches in the video glow with warm orange light, contrasting sharply with the cold green surroundings.

Feng Feng held the torch high and chanted an ancient and long spell. Every syllable seemed to be able to penetrate time and space and awaken the dormant elemental power.

As the last note fell from Feng Feng's mouth, the torch suddenly shone brightly, as if it was given life and turned into a dazzling sword light.

The flaming sword cut through the night sky, piercing the chest of the vegetable monster, which was wrapped in a dark green light, with perfect precision. The flaming light and the green light clashed fiercely at the point of contact, making a piercing hissing sound, as if two worlds were colliding.

The vegetable monster let out a heart-wrenching scream, and his voice was filled with endless despair and unwillingness.

Its body began to tremble violently under the erosion of the flames, and the dark green light gradually dimmed, as if it was swallowed by an irresistible force.

The flames spread along the wound, and wherever they passed, the hard tree trunks and twisted leaves quickly turned into nothing, leaving only wisps of black smoke and a pungent smell of burning.

Yang Nai coughed, attracted everyone's attention and said, "Feng Feng revealed an accessory equipment called Qing Zhi Yuan."

"Everything is the same as in an online game. However, our academy gathers powerful people from all over the world. We cannot abide by the rules of online games and accomplish nothing."

"Teacher Koro, you are responsible for going to the research center to confirm the situation..."

In the dormitory on the other side of the school, Feng Feng helped Yui move her things, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Koro-sensei flying towards the research center.

Yui wore a dust scarf on her head, put her hands on her hips and looked around the bed in the dormitory, and the desktop nodded: "Not bad."

Feng Feng walked into the narrow but clean bathroom. The sound of running water sounded softly, breaking the tranquility in the room like a whisper.

He rubbed his hands gently, water droplets dancing on his fingertips, reflecting the mottled shadows of the trees outside the window. Turning his head to look outside the door, he raised his voice with a hint of tenderness in his tone:

“Yui, come and check to see if there is anything missing so we can settle down earlier.”

Upon hearing this, Yui deftly took off the dust scarf on her head, and her long, smooth hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with a faint scent of shampoo.

She turned and walked towards the door, her eyes scanning every corner, and finally nodded with satisfaction, a faint smile on her lips.

She bent down and picked up the broom and dustpan that had been prepared behind the door, and gently placed them beside the door. Her movements were skillful and graceful, as if she was setting up a warm little home.

"Don't worry, Fengfeng, we've checked everything, nothing is missing."

Her voice was full of peace of mind and satisfaction, adding a touch of home to the new home.

Yui walked into the bathroom, and under the faucet, the clear water gently brushed over her fingertips, bringing up circles of delicate foam.

She chuckled and looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, as if she was performing a small ritual for the upcoming dinner.

Outside the door, Feng Feng was looking down at his cell phone. The unique ringtone of Yukinoshita Haruno sounded particularly crisp in the quiet space.

The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and the moment he pressed the answer button, the screen seemed to be paused.

"Hey, Sister Yang Nai, what's going on?"

There was a barely perceptible tenderness in Feng Feng's voice, but his eyes were focused outside the window, where the setting sun was slowly sinking, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Nai's voice was clear and powerful, with a bit of urgency but also an unconcealable smile:

"Feng Feng, there is some new information about the Qing Zhi Yuan ornament that you need to come and see in person."

"Also, remember to bring Yui with you. She might know something."

It was late at night, and the dim lights stretched the shadows of the college corridor, making it look particularly long and secluded.

Feng Feng and Yui walked side by side, with a bit of urgency in their steps.

At the end of the corridor, Yang Nai's figure looked particularly solemn under the dim light. She folded her arms across her chest, looking deeply into the distance, as if she could penetrate the night and look directly into the unknown darkness.

"Sister Yang Nai, we're here." Feng Feng called softly, breaking the silence of the night.

Yang No turned around, his face serious: "Come with me, a student is missing, the disappearance site is in the basement of the research building over there, we found some unusual traces."

The three of them walked through a series of cold metal doors and finally stopped in front of a secret room in the basement.

A faint blue light shone through the crack in the door, which was inconsistent with the darkness around.

Yang Nai pushed open the door, and a cold breath hit him in the face. In the center of the room, a beam of light focused on the ground, where there was a complex magic circle.

In the center of the magic circle is a gem that emits a faint green light, exactly the same light as the Green Grudge ornament.

The air was filled with uneasiness and urgency, as if even the air was telling of some ominous omen.

Feng Feng slowly squatted down, and lightly touched the edge of the dark green gem with his fingertips. An inexplicable chill spread from his fingertips to the bottom of his heart. He closed his eyes.

I tried to use my senses to probe inside, but I only felt a chaotic force resisting all outside intrusion.

His brows were furrowed, and a rare solemn look appeared on his face, as if he was facing an ancient and powerful secret.

At the same time, Yui's eyes were filled with blue light like a waterfall, and the data stream converged into complex patterns in front of her eyes, interweaving and contrasting with the patterns of the magic circle in the room.

She opened her red lips and whispered a few instructions that only the machine could understand.

Immediately, it seemed as if an invisible electric current was flowing in the air, trying to analyze the logic and purpose behind this ancient magic circle.

But as the analysis deepened, her eyes gradually became more complicated, and the frequency of the blue light flashing increased, revealing her inner surprise and anxiety.
