Invincible Copy System

Chapter Summary
Although the system could still see the door, and Liu Ning could easily leave if he wanted to, he had already made his decision when he entered. Liu Ning didn't know what this place had been used for before, but he understood one thing: after entering this room, he felt like there was a pair of eyes watching him. However, one thing was certain: the system became unusually active after arriving here, as if it wanted to copy everything down and proactively report everything to Liu Ning.
Liu Ning recalled his trip to Windmill City. Although it was extremely dangerous, at least he could see the sky and everything outside, which was a great comfort. However, in such a confined environment, ordinary people wouldn't feel any benefit, let alone someone like Liu Ning. Although the system could still see the door, and Liu Ning could easily leave if he wanted to, he had already made his decision when he entered. He couldn't just stay here for a while and then leave. He wasn't someone who had dedicated himself to all of humanity. Was he really going to just run away like that? If he did, he would despise himself, so he would never do such a thing.
Liu Ning's feet touched something; judging from its softness, it was a corpse. Liu Ning crouched down for a closer look and realized it had been killed by the octopus monster. Strangely enough, the system had scanned the area but hadn't found the corpse beneath his feet. Liu Ning also noticed some other oddities; the system's scan seemed to have missed quite a few things. However, Liu Ning didn't have time to worry about it now. He had noticed that many of the system's functions were not always available when it approached the spaceship. So, Liu Ning decided to make the best of it since he was already here. If he took another step forward, the door behind him might disappear. So, Liu Ning took a deep breath.
Just as Liu Ning had expected, when he took that step, the system could no longer see the doorway he had come from. What was once a faint light was now completely gone. Liu Ning took another step back; the system should have continued to search for the doorway, but unfortunately, it found nothing. Liu Ning retreated another four or five steps, back to where the corpse had been. Sadly, the ground was completely smooth and empty, meaning Liu Ning had entered the spatial array. If he couldn't find the exit, he would be like everyone else, unable to leave. This was the most terrifying aspect of the place. Many powerful individuals who entered weren't most afraid of the ferocious beasts, but rather this place—once you enter, there's no turning back.
If someone knows their own escape route, they will never feel fear. If you don't know your own vulnerability, then some things are not so simple. For example, in the current situation, Liu Ning doesn't know what's going on, so he can only obediently watch from here. As for what will happen in the end, that's not something Liu Ning can predict right now. As for what will happen in the future, that's not something we can imagine. On this point, many others can't understand. Only those who have truly reached this point understand. They are very clear about what the current situation is. If they could wait a little longer, the result might not be like this. The rest might also be left to wait a little longer.
Liu Ning knew there was no turning back at this point, so he could only continue forward. After walking several dozen meters, Liu Ning discovered dozens of corpses, but these corpses were not from this time. Judging from the bones, they were at least several decades old. Liu Ning didn't say anything about this. In the past, many people came here hoping to get rich, but unfortunately, they didn't take anything good with them. They couldn't even take care of their families. Now, all they could do was warn their descendants. But could they really warn their descendants? The people who came after them were also thinking about getting rich here. They didn't care about such situations. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would keep coming in.
Liu Ning observed how these people died. Some were killed by sharp weapons nearby, perhaps because some kind of trap had been triggered back then. Therefore, Liu Ning was very careful when walking, almost always using something to probe the way first, using his mental energy to scan the area and see if there were any traps ahead. Others were more tragic; they were clearly killed by humans, because the wounds on their bodies were similar to those inflicted by human weapons. It was impossible for such weapons to be found here. Therefore, these people were the most tragic. If you were to ask what happened to these people, there was only one thing that could explain it: these people were living very depressed lives, which was unavoidable.
Liu Ning couldn't worry about what was happening now. He couldn't control everything here; all he could do was deal with his own problems. He needed to figure out what to do next. There was no sign of life inside. Liu Ning slowly observed his surroundings and discovered many ancient things. These things were similar to many things now, but some seemed more advanced. Although they were quite dilapidated, they seemed perfectly functional. Liu Ning believed that if he could take them out, they would be far superior to many of his current possessions. This was a very important matter. Unfortunately, these things couldn't be taken out. Liu Ning could only start replicating them one by one.
After walking a few hundred meters, Liu Ning entered another space, about 300 square meters in size. It was completely different from some of the places outside. The smell of blood was extremely strong here. Liu Ning didn't know what this place had been used for before, but he understood one thing: after entering this room, he felt like there was a pair of eyes watching him. He had never encountered anything like this before and didn't know what was going on. For Liu Ning, this place felt extremely eerie. However, one thing was certain: the system became unusually active after arriving here, as if it wanted to copy everything down and proactively report everything to Liu Ning. This had never happened before.
