AMRWFA -Chapter 413 Another Descending World

“You…”

Ruan Yaoyao reached out and patted Lu Lingling’s head, feeling a little soft-hearted for her.

Such a good girl—she always thought of others, but completely forgot about herself.

She mattered too, didn’t she?

As the sewer excavation continued, several steps gradually came into view.

At the end of the steps was a disc-shaped object. The symbols on it looked very familiar—Ruan Yaoyao had seen them not only on other people, but also on that “ticket” before. Around the disc were structures similar to a five-pointed star formation, and something seemed to be inserted in the center. During their excavation just now, it had likely been damaged, so the formation now looked clearly incomplete.

Alright, now she understood why Lu Lingling couldn’t see it earlier.

She didn’t know exactly what the “wall” between high-level and low-level civilizations was, but clearly, there were methods to conceal it even from someone like Lu Lingling, whose “cheat ability” was perception-based.

Unfortunately, such methods were too easily destroyed, which was probably why they had rushed to eliminate people like Lu Lingling from the start.

“Later I’ll go in alone. You stay outside with them. No matter what happens, follow the higher-ups’ instructions.”

“Master, I want to go with you.”

Ruan Yaoyao shook her head. “I don’t know what’s inside. If I take you in, you might already be holding me back—that’s the best-case scenario. If it’s a trap and you get stuck inside, then wouldn’t everything I’ve done be wasted?”

“But…” Lu Lingling was frustrated. She had cultivated for too short a time and her talent wasn’t strong enough—she couldn’t help at all.

Fearing she might act impulsively, Ruan Yaoyao called Ruan Zhihe over to keep an eye on her.

“Ah, I’m not going in with you?” Ruan Zhihe was surprised.

“What are you going in for? Can you deal with the supernatural? With your half-baked skills, forget it…” Ruan Yaoyao said. “I’m going in to rescue someone. If I bring you too, you’ll just hold me back.”

Last time at the psychiatric hospital, they had entered because of ignorance and accidentally fell into it.

Afterward, since they were already inside, Ruan Zhihe and Liang Shishi followed along.

But this time was different. This time, the anomaly had even abducted her daughter—it was clearly a trap aimed at her.

If it was a trap, bringing too many people would just be walking into danger.

Ruan Zhihe was unwilling to accept this. In her view, if Lu Lingling didn’t go, fine—she was the “seed of hope” they needed to preserve, but what was she? Just a bodyguard. How could she not stay by Ruan Yaoyao’s side?

Ruan Yaoyao suddenly called out behind her, “Shishi, why are you here?”

“Huh? Liang Shishi is here?”

Ruan Zhihe quickly turned around, about to ask Liang Shishi to help persuade her—at least one of them should go in.

But when she turned, there was no one there.

When she realized what had happened and turned back again—

Ruan Yaoyao had already disappeared.

“Where is your master?”

Lu Lingling pointed at the entrance.

“Why didn’t you stop her?!”

“I didn’t even get to go. Do you think she would take you?” Lu Lingling rolled her eyes and walked away.

Ruan Zhihe was furious. These master and disciple were both infuriating.

She decided she would go in herself.

She called someone to watch Lu Lingling and prepared to enter.

But Lu Lingling stopped again, crossing her arms and watching her like she was waiting for a joke.

As expected, no matter how Ruan Zhihe tried to walk down the steps or jump onto the disc, she simply couldn’t enter—it was as if she were stuck in place.

“Why can’t I go in?”

Lu Lingling said, “Now do you understand why I didn’t go in earlier?”

Obviously, without her master leading the way, none of them could enter.

“Then… how did Aunt Xu get in?”

“You’re asking me? How would I know?”

……

Meanwhile, Ruan Yaoyao looked at the “ticket” in her hand and confirmed she hadn’t been wrong.

This descending world really wasn’t something anyone could just enter.

Without this ticket, she might not even have been able to get in this time.

So it really wasn’t that all “descending worlds” could be entered freely—some required an “invitation.”

In her hand, the “ticket” slowly transformed into an “invitation.”

『Name: Ruan Yaoyao』
『ID: DQSM-01』
『Theme: Adventure』
『Difficulty: ★★★』
『Transit: Level-1 civilization planet · Blue Star』
『Sub-theme: “Wraith”』
『Item: Gold-inlaid Jade Bracelet』
『Skills: Talisman Drawing, Magic Arts』
『Mission: Survive (7 days)』

……

Ruan Yaoyao: “……”

It actually turned into my personal information?

Tsk… impressive. It even knows what I’m carrying.

She glanced at the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on her wrist. It seemed the “invitation” was quite knowledgeable—it immediately recognized it as a magical artifact among all her possessions.

As for the ghost-suppressing banner hidden inside the bracelet, it didn’t detect it. If it could even see that, she would’ve been worried.

The difficulty level had increased too—previously, Dai Yudie had only been one star, but hers had jumped directly to three stars.

So it really was a trap targeting her.

The surroundings were filled with thick black fog. She didn’t move recklessly. When the fog dispersed, what appeared before her was a modern street that felt strangely familiar.

But she couldn’t immediately recall where she had seen it.

Which forgotten world was this?

Hopefully it wasn’t too brutal.

Please don’t start with tens of thousands of people.

As she walked, she suddenly stopped.

She realized what was wrong—

“The First Cup of Coffee of Autumn?”

In the real world, the shop was called “The First Cup of Coffee of Autumn,” but here, it was called “Tian Qiu,” with the rest of the words erased. More precisely, the first part had been erased.

Looking around, many shop names had been altered in the same way.

No wonder it felt familiar but she couldn’t place it.

Ruan Yaoyao took out a makeup mirror and looked at the world through it.

Now it made sense.

Apart from the erased words, this was exactly the same street she had just “crossed from.”

So this wasn’t the real world—but a mirror world.

Because it was mirrored, left and right were reversed.

If that wasn’t enough proof, she quickly walked to the road where cars passed—

Even the steering wheels were on the right side.

In her country, they were on the left.

“You’re being unreasonable! I already apologized, what more do you want?”

Nearby, a sleazy-looking man was grabbing a sweet-looking college girl, speaking helplessly.

“I just want what? You were flirting with other women—why didn’t you think about what I wanted then?”

“I was just chatting a bit, nothing serious…”

“Nothing serious? I caught you. If I hadn’t, what then?”

“That’s just how men are. I can’t help it… it’s male nature!”

……

Wait—what did she just hear?!

Male nature?!

Ruan Yaoyao turned sharply and saw two glowing “labels” in the night.

Yes, exactly.

It had been daytime before she entered this world, but now it had become night.

Those eye-searing tags—one green, one red—were extremely bright.

One said “Good Man,” the other “Bad Woman.”

But the problem was—Ruan Yaoyao clearly saw “murderer” written on that man’s face.

And yet someone like that was labeled a “good man”?

Was this some kind of joke?
