Henry Clark lowered his arm, and his eyes also recovered from their blind state. However, his body was convulsing violently, as if he were enduring immense pain. In fact, that training came at a price—a very high mortality rate, especially during the initial training phase. If the trainee could not receive the most thorough healing treatment while training, the chances of survival were less than one in a hundred. Of course, this only happened during the very first stage of training. Once the number of training sessions increased, although the pain remained, it would no longer be fatal even without treatment—it just wouldn’t last as long.

At that moment, a faint sound suddenly rang in Henry Clark’s ear, as if... as if some thread was slicing through the air. He was still in training mode, and his hearing was unimaginably sharp. This subtle sound instantly put him on high alert, but before he could do anything, the beautiful woman he had suspected of knowing the truth appeared—outside the window. She... or was it it?

She was hanging upside down, looking into the room, and her hands and feet were connected by a circle of white threads. She looked just like Spider-Man from an American movie.

“...Guide?”

“Spider-Man?”

After these words, both of them were stunned...

Chapter Four: The World of Reincarnation!

Guide...

These three words are actually just ordinary words. To any normal person, they would sound unremarkable, but to someone who isn’t ordinary, they might have an extraordinary effect.

For example, Henry Clark at this moment...

As one of the three great strategists of the Rebellion Organization, Henry Clark had experienced countless schemes, desperate battles, and life-or-death decisions. He had every reason to be cautious and meticulous—not just for his own life, but for the lives of his companions. If his calculations failed, it might be impossible for him and his companions to even die if they wanted to...

Guide...

These three words revealed a lot.

First of all, as he had suspected, there was something off about this woman. At the very least, she knew why they were here. As for “guide”... guide to what? Guide where? The word brings to mind help, mentorship, instructor, and so on. In this way, both the guide and the guided are inseparably linked to this strange situation.

Besides all this, there was another important hidden message...

This woman was also a player in the game, waiting for some guide to lead her out. So her role was somewhat different from what he had previously guessed... neither enemy nor friend—at least for now, she didn’t seem to be an enemy...

All these complicated thoughts flashed through Henry Clark’s mind in just two or three seconds. Then Henry Clark smiled and said, “I’m sorry, but I’m not a guide. However, if you’re willing to share information about the guide and this place with me, I’d be happy to search for the guide together with you.”

The beautiful woman’s expression darkened. She let go of the threads in her hand and lightly jumped into the room. With a wave of her hand, the window behind her was instantly sealed with white threads. Then she walked toward Henry Clark.

(No killing intent... but definitely not friendly either. For now, let’s treat her as a neutral NPC.)

Henry Clark watched as the woman drew closer and smiled, “Miss, you know this isn’t a good place. If you’re planning to kill me to silence me, that silence will only last until evening at most. This is a residential house, and judging by the look of it, people live here long-term. They’re probably just out at work or school right now, aren’t they?”

A hint of surprise flashed across the woman’s face, but she quickly smiled and said, “That’s already enough. From now until evening is about five hours—enough time for the main group to leave. As for whether the people here will call the police, or whether your body will be found by them, what does that have to do with me?”

(That’s true... If this were normal times, once the police found my body, this strange team would definitely be hunted by the police, since they’re of unknown origin and appeared near my corpse. Within four or five days at most, they’d be wanted. In peacetime, that would be a huge disadvantage for her and the big group. But... if this really is the world of the movie “Skyline,” then five or six days of buffer time is more than enough!)

Everything has its priorities. Just like when a city is hit by a nuclear bomb, the first thing people think about isn’t what to eat for dinner, but how to escape and survive. In the world of “Skyline,” when aliens invade, no one’s first thought is to arrest a few suspects. Their first priority is to evacuate civilians or fight back against the aliens. It’s that simple.
