Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Stepping into the Real World AgainAfter handing over the huge sum of twelve million to the personnel responsible for collection at the Flying Cat Organization, they swept their gaze across the group with an inexplicable look and then said,
"This batch is just the five of you. We recommend two plans, one is to go out together, and the other is for each person to leave every two hours. Of course, you can discuss among yourselves; we don’t intervene in principle. Moreover, we promise not to use this door again for at least a day. If you’re worried about the influence of those who come after, you may as well leave the vicinity of the door as soon as possible. As for the return... that’s no longer within our service."
The other people seemed quite calm about this kind of prior warning, but Feng Xue couldn’t be sure whether these people were already aware or just pretending to be old hands like him.
However, it didn’t really matter. Without much discussion, all five of them, including Feng Xue, chose to leave together.
It wasn’t a matter that needed consideration. Not to mention the possibility of being ambushed by those who left before, what if as soon as they left, massacre ensued, and there they were, facing an armed platoon of soldiers?
Having once experienced being a prisoner, Feng Xue had no desire to know what an escape felt like again, and the others probably felt the same way.
The reaction of the Flying Cat Organization members to this outcome did not seem unexpected. The leader clapped his hands lightly, and the man who looked utterly exhausted immediately stood up as if by reflex, moving like a zombie to the door and pulling it open.

They exchanged glances, no longer paying attention to the information pouring in from the door, and took their first step towards the real world...

The familiar yet strange sensation of distortion hit the moment they stepped through, and Feng Xue, who was already prepared, immediately pulled up his cloak. The "Ghostly" Power enveloped him, making his body disappear from its original spot in an instant.
Feng Xue’s sudden action immediately put the others on alert; in the moment he was scrutinized by four wary gazes, Feng Xue spread his hands without any apology, thinking, "If you’d been greeted by a burst of machine-gun fire when you walked through a door, you’d probably have reacted even more strongly than I did," yet he offered no explanation and vanished into the night.
Seeing this, the remaining four also did not linger and, without consulting each other, chose different directions, disappearing into the streets.

"Good, no idiots waiting at the door, desperate to make a move," Feng Xue thought, tucking away the Sleeve Sword while lurking in the shadows as he began to
Feng Xue’s mouth twitched as he watched the woman labor over the calculator and couldn’t help but exclaim, "So it’s true what they say on the internet in my past life—people from Victoria really can’t do math without a calculator..."
