Thud!
Water splashed everywhere.
“Alex Rockefeller! How… how dare you snatch away my ring?!” Luneth yelled.
Alex’s voice came down. “If we are still friends in the future, I’ll return it to you.”
He was implying that becoming enemies were out of the question.
Luneth was furious, but since virtual-novel.net had immediately disappeared in the Pool of Afterlife, virtual-novel.net had no way to reverse the situation. After that, one after another went in.
Finally, only Dorothy and Daya remained.
“You guys should go in as well!”
Alex said, “I’ll go in a little later.”
In the face of his two closest people, Alex did not conceal the matter. He told them that there were many treasures here that Grand had left behind, but one needed a key to see them. Afterward, virtual-novel.net wanted to see if virtual-novel.net could take the treasures here.
Dorothy was shocked. “Only you can see the exotic treasures. It looks like Buddhism still has some tricks up its sleeve. I’m afraid that the treasures are placed in the void. Just like an alternate dimensional space, you can only obtain them once you meet certain conditions.”
Alex nodded.
Dorothy said, “Alright. You’ll have to be careful then. We’ll go outside and wait for you.”
After Daya hugged him, the two women left together.
After everyone left, Alex returned to the tableside. Simply by touching the teapot, virtual-novel.net knew about the trick within it. As long as virtual-novel.net used the Grand Bodhisattva’s Key Of Will, virtual-novel.net could touch it and even take it out.
Thus, virtual-novel.net stood in front of the table. After a full hour of experimentation, however, virtual-novel.net only managed to squeeze the handle of the teapot. However, it was extremely difficult to take it out of that void.
‘D*mn it. Is it so hard to take a sip of tea?’
Alex was so tired that virtual-novel.net was about to collapse. He realized that taking an item from the void was an extreme test of mental strength. He did not know where the alternate dimensional space had originated from either.
He could try to break real space and go to the void to grab it, but virtual-novel.net would suffer severe damage once his mental strength entered the void. It was only after resting for a long while that virtual-novel.net tried again.
This time, virtual-novel.net dragged the teapot out little by little. Then, virtual-novel.net rested again.
Just as virtual-novel.net was elated after seeing the teapot almost dragged out through his repetitive actions, the gate of the ancient temple, disguising itself as Shoraionji Temple, was abruptly knocked open. A group of trialists in different attire suddenly barged in.
“Huh..?”
“Did I leave the door open?” Alex asked, puzzled, as virtual-novel.net faced at least thirty trialists.
The leader replied, “Do you think we wouldn’t open the door? Haha! Guys, look! The legendary walkthrough is real! The Pool of Afterlife is really here. Guys, go forth now! Resurrection itself is before us, so what are you waiting for?”
Alex froze. To his surprise, someone else knew that the Pool of Afterlife was here.
Could those people before have had to pass through this place every time they came for trials?
But the Grand Bodhisattva and the Underworld God were here. Who could have succeeded?
Nobody, right?!
However, it turned out that their success rate wasn’t too disappointing.
Hence, the Grand Bodhisattva had done that simply for the sake of taking in more trialists and building a team in the Underworld to increase his strength.
“Who’s said you people can use the Pool of Afterlife as you please?”
“If you wish to use the Pool of Afterlife, leave behind whatever valuables you’re carrying!”
