Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 12: New Game Launch [Complete]

1494: New Game Launch Conference

Just a second before the car was pushed into the 'tube' character, with its head down and about to fall, Lin Sanjiu lunged forward, throwing herself into the car. Her weight shifted the car, made up of a group of characters, making it teeter, and it finally slid down the strokes of the 'tube' character.

In those few seconds of descent, Lin Sanjiu felt like Alice, falling into Wonderland.

She could only stare out of the car window, unable to tear her gaze away nor wanting to. Countless characters swayed and splashed like golden waves in the sunlight, flashing past the window. Through the intricate strokes, she saw the world.

For a moment, she felt like she was kneeling on the ground, looking at red bricks on the sidewalk. Between the bricks, she saw the earth, continents floating on oceans, white clouds slowly passing over a deep blue sky. Deer stepping through morning fog, waterfalls echoing in silent valleys.

From the eyes of humans, it was no longer a human-centric perspective.

By the time Lin Sanjiu snapped back to reality, the flow of characters outside had vanished. The text-car, carrying both her and Yu Yuan, was falling straight down, dropping from the tube tunnel into an endless white below.

It was the same pure white she had seen when she heard the call of the grand prize.

In this vast nothingness, even the sensation of the car's fall seemed to cease; the car appeared to be falling rapidly and floating gently at the same time.

Lin Sanjiu, trembling, whispered, "We've arrived. I'm here..."

She had tried her best, but it took too long. What she had done for the grand prize was inadequate.

Yu Yuan leaned over to look out at the vast white expanse. After a while, he straightened up, his face as impassive as a snow-covered ground. "We should be well below the ten underground game levels, near the core of the earth."

That meant they were near the core of the game world. But where was the game organizer?

Without an answer, Lin Sanjiu could only sit still in the car, letting it take them further down. After the 'tube' character disappeared, they lost their point of reference. They might just be waiting in stillness.

Yu Yuan opened the car door, sticking one leg out.

Lin Sanjiu acted quickly, pushing his shoulder down onto the seat's textual structure. "What are you doing?"

"I want to see what's going on out there," Yu Yuan replied. "I've calculated the risks. I'm much safer than you."

The Veda were confident – and they didn't know fear.

"Let's wait a little longer," Lin Sanjiu said. "If something happens to you, I won't know how to help."

Coincidentally, before she could finish, both felt the car shake slightly, as if it had gently landed on some surface.

"Did we really keep descending?" Even Lin Sanjiu was a little surprised. She quickly turned around on the seat made of words, looking out of the windows to take in the scene outside. She opened the car door like Yu Yuan and looked downward. "What did we land on?"

Suddenly, she felt her entire being freeze.

"What did you see?" Yu Yuan asked, also leaning out of the door. The words that were about to come out of the Veda's mouth were immediately silenced. Of course, it wasn't shock that silenced him, but the unexpected onslaught of new information.

To be imprecise, the car had landed atop an office.

A character resembling the Chinese word '室' (room) stood faintly on a snow-white expanse. It wasn't just a standalone character but was formed from countless smaller characters, a 3D cluster of characters. At a glance, Lin Sanjiu recognized it—one of the offices on the 60th floor of an office building, and a small one at that. Everything was familiar, from the wooden door, gray-blue carpet, fluorescent lights, to the cubicles.
