27 Can't be picky about it.

[... Miss... He made contact with the singularity...]

[Oh? Did he? What did he do to our little pet?]

[According to my source... he was trying to persuade him into ditching them... Should we do something?]

[I wonder what he is up to...]

"Didn't think that it would be this exhausting mentally... Cartoons and movies made it so easy and simple being teleported into another dimension..."

Peng Hu stood up from the ground, cleaned himself up from the dust, and looked around.

"Yep, this is the Central Plaza, alright. I should head back to Kai's house. He must be worried about me by now... How much time has passed since then?"

And before Peng could move, a hand stopped him.

"You... Everything happened right after you came..."

"What...?" Peng was confused by the sudden question. Did he do something wrong?

"Yeah! Yeah! Give me back my daughter!"

"My husband went for a drink... and he hasn't come back yet!"

"What... what are you all talking about?"

Peng Hu saw the villagers in the area surrounding him, with him as the epicenter of it all, shouting loudly over the time of everything they had lost. Peng Hu wanted to get a clear picture of what was happening at the moment. Listening attentively one by one, Peng Hu could discern that the villagers were blaming him for what had happened.

[Why... why are you blaming me for the explosion and the fight? It was the Red Ember Kingdom's fault!]

Peng Hu wanted to voice his opinion but the words wouldn't leave his mouth. It was exasperating and hurtful for Peng Hu to know that he didn't have the strength to defend himself.

"A day has passed... and my little boy is still missing! uhuuhu... uwahh..."

[What? A day has passed? I actually spent one day on the other dimension!? What if... what if the people before me are just an illusion and I am still in the other dimension...? Damn Bastard! But this all feels real... Nevermind, I need to get away first... What's important is that I believe in my innocence and benevolence. Got to scram out of here."

With great effort and strength, Peng Hu pushed the crowd but the power of the crowd pushed him back.

"He is trying to run away! Don't let him!"

[Urgh... My voice won't come out and the crowd's strength is bigger than mine... I guess I am screwed huh...]

"You want to run away!? Eat this! Flare Fist Bang!"

"Noo!"

A guy enveloped his right fist with a red aura of flame, creating a hot blaze on the process. The guy swung hard his right fist straight into Peng Hu's stomach, sending him flying to the sky on the process.

"What have you done!? You sent him flying!"

[Ouch! Not the best way to get away from the situation... but whatever works. Can't be picky about it.]

Out from Peng Hu's mouth, a piece of macaroni came flying out. It was at this moment that Peng Hu deduced that it was this piece of thing that made him not being able to voice his opinion.

"Are you serious? Are you actually being serious? Damn it... What a frightening illusion..."

[Where will I land... Could I die on an illusion?"

Peng Hu closed his eyes and waited for his luck to decide his fate.
