"No, it still doesn't work. On the fifth day of his research at the Myriad Grocery Store, Ryan clutched his hair in frustration after another failed identification. Originally, he thought that he could start studying by recording the simplest mystical symbols and patterns on the door, but the experience of the past few days told him that it was not enough to have these things, and he could feel the knowledge contained in these things, but after careful study, he found that these contents were like a layer of fog separated from him, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get closer.

"Is this because we don't have enough control groups to recognize these completely independent symbols and patterns?" Hermione, who looked a little unkempt, made an opinion because she was too busy with research to clean up after a few days. "Just as many ancient scripts today have become dead texts without a control group, and no one can decipher them. ”

But the problem is that these things are a manifestation of certain rules between heaven and earth, and do not come from the writing of a certain civilization. Ryan shook his head, "So theoretically there can't be a control group—"

"Control group, control group—" Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up at this point, "Wait, I thought about it." Although there is no text for these symbols, we can look at the secondary use of these symbols, and then we can extrapolate these symbols. I was so stupid to have thought of this, Hermione, thank you so much, if it weren't for your prompt—"

With that, Ryan hugged Hermione and kissed her, and it was a long time before the two separated.

"Really, I haven't brushed my teeth in days. Hermione turned her head a little shyly and muttered something after being let go of Ryan, but soon her desire to learn overcame her shyness, and she turned her face to look at Ryan with a blushing face. "Well, what the hell did you think of that you can tell me. I'm still a little dazed. ”

"That's right. Ryan took Hermione's hand and sat down in his chair together, "I was still fascinated by this new knowledge, in fact, it is difficult for me to study that door directly, even the simplest part, if it weren't for the close connection between this space and me, I think I would probably be in great danger for studying knowledge beyond my ability." ”

Hermione nodded, she and Luna learned about Luna's death during an afternoon tea shortly after the book club was formed, and from that time on, she knew that if she pursued more than she could, she would only fail, and sometimes even pay for her own life.

"But now it occurred to me that I could study these runes on the door from the side by studying the inter-world teleportation function of this space. Ryan said with some excitement. "My previous research is not without the slightest results, after all, this Wanjie grocery store is closely related to me, so I can barely know that these mysterious symbols and patterns on the door are the secret of this place that can lead us across the world. Even if we can carefully study the simplest part of this world-spanning power, then we can take a big step forward in the mastery of space. ”

"But—how are we going to get across?" Hermione looked confused. "Every time I pass through this door, there is only a split second, and there is not a single trace of power exposed. I don't think there's anything to be learned from this process?"

"No, no, no. Ryan shook his head. "Don't forget, in addition to the normal means of traversing, we have another one that's long enough for us to look into these things—" With that, Ryan imitated the Headmaster winking at Hermione.

"I remembered. Hermione said excitedly with her hands on her chest. "That's the same method you used when you took me on the run in the temple in Brazil. I met two days ago, and I met Sister Belle! Her son is really cute—"

"Yes, that's the way. Ryan noticed that Hermione was starting to go off-topic and quickly pulled her train back of thought. "So let's pack up in a moment and start discovering a new world together. ”

"Sounds great. Hermione nodded. "Anyway, we don't have anything urgent to deal with right now, and as for time, for everyone else, we're just gone for an hour. ”

After a day of resting in the World Palace of A Song of Ice and Fire, Ryan and Hermione activated the power of the emergency escape. After the familiar murmur similar to that of an airplane taking off and landing, Ryan and the others once again experienced the strong feeling of external pulling.

Because it was still two people this time, the magical balance of the spatial passage was still broken. However, the turbulence of the space that could have caused them fatal injuries in the second year is no longer so dangerous. While they easily set aside some of their energy to build a magical barrier to block these tearing forces, they began to spread their power around, and began to study the power of space directly exposed to them.

This was much simpler than the mysterious knowledge on the door, and Ryan began to quickly record the knowledge contained in this escape passage related to the door and space of the Ten Thousand Worlds Grocery Store.

Finally, when their feet were back on solid ground, they had also completed a record of all the spatial knowledge in the escape route.

"It's still too short a journey. Hermione grumbled quietly, "I still have a lot to figure out." ”

"It's okay, I've written it all. My guess is right, the knowledge in the spatial passage can really be used as the key, allowing us to master the method of studying those complex graphics and texts. "And the good news is that we are stronger than we used to be." At least a few years ago, we thought it was too long. ”

"yes, time flies. Hermione sighed and asked. "Where is this?"

Ryan also looked at their location at this time, unlike the previous times when they were often found in places full of nature and wildness or full of a sense of history, now the place where they are located has a strong modern atmosphere.

To be precise, they were on a fast-moving subway, and through the window they could see a little white light speeding backwards in the dark tunnel.

Maybe because it's not rush hour, people in the subway are sitting scattered, and a lot of seats are vacated. There were even a few people scattered in the carriage they were in, who were either listening to music or reading newspapers, and they didn't notice that there were two more people in the carriage at all.

"Welcome to New York—" Ryan softly read out an advertisement inside the subway car, "we're in the New York subway now." ”

"Sounds great, and I've always wanted to visit the city, especially the Metropolitan Museum and Central Park. It's a pity that I didn't have time before. Visiting New York now is also a fulfillment of my dream of coming to see it. Hermione looked a little pleased.

However, Ryan became nervous, because in countless movies, New York was always the primary target of destruction, and he knew more than 20 stories of the destruction of New York. Especially since this teleportation was a random teleportation, he didn't know if he had come to a very dangerous world.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there is a big difference in architecture between New York in some worlds and normal New York. Ryan decided to get off the train at the next stop and go to the ground to see what kind of world this world was, and if it was too dangerous, he would leave New York as fast as possible to find a remote place to hide, and then leave this world as soon as the cooldown was over.

Just as Ryan was thinking, suddenly there was a sound of glass breaking next to him, and a man in a suit broke the glass behind the last car of the subway and rolled in.
