Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1258 - 710: Attack of the Unknown Existence

Su Yu shook his head. Now that he was fully awake, he could naturally tell that all those so-called memories with his wife were fake. Even before this, he’d vaguely felt something was off. After all, he’d never had any wife in his life, and he’d never been able to really put himself into that so-called marital warmth.

Most likely, that existence who wrote the Dream Ending didn’t know Su Yu well enough, which was why such a huge flaw appeared. There was also the fact that Su Yu’s identity was special; he had a certain "audience," "reader"-like trait that made him almost immune to ordinary story-writing. That gave him a kind of bystander’s perspective on everything that had just happened, making it impossible to truly substitute himself in.

However, these two points weren’t actually the main reason Su Yu was able to wake up. After all, the other side had used a story-rewriting ability. Su Yu had long experienced just how powerful this kind of force was; it was absolutely not something that could be resisted by willpower alone. Especially since earlier, Su Yu had actively written his own story, then used the threat of mutual Destruction to force some existences of the upper Narrative Layer to help him rewrite it.

That way, the existences of the upper Narrative Layer could truly write Su Yu’s story, affecting him completely and weakening his audience reader identity to the extreme. Under normal circumstances, even if Su Yu discovered a flaw, after a period of time he would still end up ignoring it.

The real reason was still...

The Profession Panel!

Under the power of the "Dream Ending" earlier, Su Yu had almost really started believing it—believing that everything before had just been a Dream Realm. But at the final moment of opening the door, Su Yu directly summoned the Profession Panel. Seeing the panel text appear out of thin air in front of him, all doubts vanished instantly. He woke up completely and would no longer be confused by the "Dream Ending."

At this moment, the voice calling from outside stopped, and the smell of food disappeared as well. Everything fell silent, with only a faint light seeping in through the crack under the door. The light from under the door suddenly dimmed, as if someone had stepped in front of it.

Knock, knock, knock!

The person outside was knocking.

"Su Yu... why aren’t you coming out to eat..."

A ghostly voice drifted in—it was the "wife’s" voice from before. But unlike the previous gentleness, this time the voice sounded somewhat sinister.

"So the story’s been rewritten?"

Su Yu knew that some unknown existence must have rewritten the story again. Since it couldn’t confuse him, it was probably going to use force. Sure enough, when the "wife" outside saw that Su Yu wasn’t responding, she continued to knock, continued to urge him, her voice becoming more and more urgent and eerie.

Even the light coming through the crack under the door vanished; outside was pitch black. Then dark red blood began to flow in from under the door. At the same time, there was the sound of fingernails scraping along the door panel, which made Su Yu feel irritable and on edge.

"So the Dream Ending got changed into a horror story..."

Listening to those increasingly bizarre sounds outside, Su Yu had no idea what the story had now been rewritten into, or what that "wife" outside had turned into. In fact, no matter what was out there, if Su Yu were at his normal strength, a single thought would be enough to one-shot it—he could even one-shot the entire Universe.

But right now, Su Yu was incomparably weak, basically just an ordinary person. If that thing outside broke in, he really might be in danger. "My power is actually this weakened... I can’t even write in the Book of Narrative... no, I can’t even look at the Book of Narrative..."

All of Su Yu’s abilities were actually still there—Spirit God, Space-Time Transcender, Destruction Origin, Book of Narrative—none of them had disappeared. However, he couldn’t use them, because he was too weak. He simply didn’t have enough Qi to drive these powerful profession abilities. He couldn’t even see what the unknown existence had rewritten in the Book of Narrative; he could only rely on guesswork.

Previously, when Su Yu crossed time-space dimensions and entered the upper time-space, he’d already become incomparably weak—so weak he couldn’t even control the energy of a single microscopic Particle. Now that Su Yu had directly crossed the Narrative Layer, he was naturally even weaker. After all, the gap between lower-layer narrators and the upper layer was simply too vast, so vast that it was almost absolutely impossible to break through. For Su Yu to forcibly cross such a gap and still retain a normal human body was already enough to surprise him.

He had initially believed he would revert to being something less significant than a minuscule Particle, as had happened before.

"This phenomenon must stem from the 'Dream Ending.' If it intends to provide me with a conclusion, it's imperative that it first grants me an identity and a physical form..."

Su Yu surmised that this transformation was likely orchestrated by the opposing side’s revised narrative.

Nevertheless, an identity granted by such a story proved to be far inferior to having no identity at all.

Upon closer consideration, it became evident that when the other party devised the Dream Ending, they must have intentionally suppressed Su Yu’s Spiritual Energy, effectively 'setting' him as a mere ordinary individual.

Consequently, Su Yu's current frailty and inability to utilize various abilities were entirely expected, arising as they did from the power of the Narrative Layer.

Bang!

At that very instant, the door to Su Yu’s chamber was violently impaled by a sharp blade. Following this, a bloodshot eye peered through the resulting aperture.

Su Yu hastily retreated a couple of steps.

From the creature’s eye visible beyond the door, he detected an aura akin to an Evil God or a Demon. Not knowing its true 'Setting,' it was best to steer clear.

"This entity possesses the backing of the Power of Narrative; it could mutate at any moment. Direct confrontation is not an option; evasion is the wiser course..."

Su Yu bolted towards the room's window, flung it open, and propelled himself outward.

Outside the window lay a road. This was the third floor. In Su Yu’s present condition, the worst that could happen would be a fractured leg; a fall from this height would not prove fatal.

However, the instant Su Yu launched himself out the window, his descent did not unfold as anticipated. Instead, he plunged into an abyss of absolute darkness.

It appeared that the street just seen outside the window had been nothing more than an illusion.

Despite the complete blackness enveloping him, this was not a Cosmic Vacuum. Breathable air, a suitable temperature, and the presence of Gravity were all discernible—conditions conducive to ordinary human survival.

An unseen force field beneath his feet provided support, counteracting the pull of Gravity and preventing him from falling.

Gazing upward, a sun radiated light, though it seemed somewhat feeble, its luminescence insufficient to pierce the surrounding gloom.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the sun was not emitting ordinary light. Instead, it was expelling streams of textual characters!

Countless luminous words emanated from the celestial body overhead, coalescing into
