Chapter 339 South Park 14

"I say… should we get a car or something?" When Feng Bujue said that, he was following behind R2, running down the ruined streets. They had left the shopping mall for some time, and after they returned to the main street of the town, R2 had led Feng Bujue toward the northern side of town.
"I know you wish to save some stamina, but there are too many dead people and monsters on the road, not to mention the debris, trash, and so on. Driving will only make us slower. Furthermore, if we're inside a vehicle, there's a high chance you'll be killed by an attack like this."
"Huh? What do you mean by an attack…" Feng Bujue was about to ask that when a white beam as large as a bowl shot at them from the front. Feng Bujue leapt into a sprint, with right foot forward and left leg moving up. He lowered his upper body and rolled forward. Carrying this momentum, he rolled on the ground and barely evaded this long-ranged attack. The light beam that brushed past him landed on a building about ten meters away. The building exploded, and a fiery ball about three meters in diameter bloomed in the air.
"See, if you were inside a car, you wouldn't have been able to avoid that attack, and you'd have to suffer the damage after the car explodes," R2 observed calmly. This time, he did not lend a hand because Brother Jue was fully capable of surviving that light beam according to his analysis.
"Fine, I see what you mean," Feng Bujue grumbled. Actually, Feng Bujue escaped the fatal blow by just the breath of a hair. His reaction speed was not as important; the key was the aid of Soul's Eye. Without it, he wouldn't have completed an extreme motion like that.
"So many of them have gathered without us noticing," R2 said as he looked around. From his perspective, he could see a different scenario—among the endless floating rivers of data, there were several different colored data pieces that were moving, and they were the other Anomalies. Feng Bujue was unable to see all that. Currently, all he could see were the mountains and rivers. Therefore, as long as the enemies did not appear in his sight, he was unable to ascertain their location.
"How come I don't see anything?" Feng Bujue complained.
"Stick closer. We need to speed up, or we'll be surrounded." R2 suddenly shot out like a loosed arrow. Seeing that, Feng Bujue had no choice but to try to keep up. The current speed was the maximum limit for Feng Bujue without activating the Body Enhancement Spell. However, R2 appeared to be at ease, and he could speak while running. "At this kind of speed, we won't be ambushed like earlier."
Feng Bujue did not reply because he could not.
"I'll take this time to explain to you what the 'backdoor' is." R2 knew about Feng Bujue's situation, so he didn't wait for a response and continued on his own. "Based on normal sequences, before the mirror screen is shattered, level three Anomalies will have completed their 'missions' already. When the screen loses its effect, they will have to leave the sandbox. That is no different from you players being teleported after a scenario is over.
"After that, the level four Anomalies that are left in the sandbox are free to destroy any data in the scenario. This process normally lasts for eight to nine hours before even the level four Anomalies also have to leave. But leaving is different from entering. The sandbox does not provide them a channel specifically to transport them out. Therefore, there has to be a 'backdoor program'." R2 paused before continuing. "The designer of the sandboxes is one of the three leaders of Origin, Root. In his original design, each sandbox could only have one 'backdoor'. That is to prevent other higher level Anomalies from being trapped inside the sandbox. But as the sandbox technology continued to improve, to provide the technology of sandbox for more Anomalies… he created a 'wormhole-like' backdoor that can replicate itself at an increasing speed and can occur at any corner of the scenario at random."
"Hah… Hah… So, you mean I have numerous paths to escape." Feng Bujue caught his breath and forced out those words.
"No, things aren't that simple." R2 denied his hope instantly. "Those doors are meant for Anomalies, and you are a player. Your data set is unable to pass through the 'backdoor'."
Just as Feng Bujue's hope was dashed, R2 said, "But there is one door that you should be able to pass through."
"The door that was from the man's original design…" Feng Bujue speculated.
"Indeed. That is the backdoor program's original data," R2 explained. "It's normally generated where most of the scenario's original data is collected."
"In other words, it is the center upon which the whole scenario is built…" When Feng Bujue said that, the two slowed down because they had reached their destination, South Park Elementary.
"This really proves the evil of capitalism. A public elementary school has managed to survive this calamity." Feng Bujue looked at the building as he joked. "When we passed the government building, the place had already been levelled."
Just as Feng Bujue and R2 arrived, many shadows rushed out to flood the school field. The Anomalies that had been waiting for them numbered in the hundreds…
Feng Bujue laughed drily. "This is why… I hate school."
"The time for jokes is over." A rather tall female Anomaly walked forward. "R2 Sharp Gale, you have entered our sandbox and killed so many of our kin. I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation."
"As you've noticed, this lady here is L2 Blood Orchid, she is also a level two Anomaly," R2 whispered to Feng Bujue.
"Didn't you say sandbox is only for level three and four…"
Before Brother Jue finished, R2 said, "She probably came in here to deal me after realizing what I've done."
"Okay…" Feng Bujue looked calm on the surface, but he knew that the situation could not have been worse. He thought, Based on levels, they are both level two. Even if R2 is slightly stronger, he can't kill the enemy in one shot… which means I will have to take on the hundreds of remaining level four Anomalies alone…
Just as the battle was about to happen, something shifted the scales. A boomerang flew through the air…
The boomerang was made from normal wood, and it wasn't flying very fast, but when L2 saw that, her face was colored in fear.
"How is this possible?" L2 quickly recovered and leaped away from the boomerang. The remaining Level four Anomalies did not seem to realize how scary this boomerang was. They just stood there unfazed. The next second, they were cut down like grass by this 'weapon' that could not have looked more harmless…
Flesh and guts flew everywhere. With a spin of the boomerang, it already took down over twenty Anomalies. Following the howling wind, the boomerang turned around on its trajectory to return to its owner.
Everyone turned to look.
Standing in the road before the school entrance was a Caucasian middle-aged man. He wore sunglasses and a Grecian white robe. He wore a crown of thorns resting on his long brown hair, and he had a tidy beard around his chin.
"Salvation is here, my child." As Jesus caught the boomerang with his hand, his other hand removed his sunglasses. "God bless you."
