In the alternate world, Mike and Lexie were squatting by the roadside
Behind them stood Heston, standing tall, upright, and stoic, like a bodyguard.
After two years of cultivation, Heston now looked entirely human. Even in their original world, most mystic masters wouldn't recognize him as the Unmelting Bone, let alone here in the alternate world.
Perhaps he looked too conspicuous because Mike waved him over and motioned for him to squat.
Heston didn't quite understand but obeyed. And so, the three of them squatted neatly by the side of the road.
It'd only been half an hour since they'd arrived in the alternate world.
"This is your fault! You just had to show off! Now, look what happened! We're stuck here!" As Lexie grumbled, she punched Mike hard on the arm.
Mike took the hit without daring to complain, but he muttered under his breath, "Didn't you say you got kicked out by the alternate world? I was just trying to test if it would reject you again."
Mike had heard during his research that the alternate world only allowed entry to those who didn't exist there. He hadn't done much tampering when building the array to connect to the alternate world and decided to test it alongside Lexie.
Who would have thought that they both got dragged in?
Heston had been unaffected, but the moment he saw both of them get sucked into the array, he instantly teleported to Lexie's side. Just like that, he got brought along as well.
