Chapter 124: The Other Side of the Crack
Wangshan Town. Or rather, it was originally the location of Wangshan Town.
An entire town is gone.
Even in all the crises that the Sky Eye Society has dealt with in the past, this should be a state of affairs that is second to none in severity.
The entire area was sealed off at the first moment, and the makeshift fence was like an indelible border, tightly enclosing a camp. The agents were like lone hunters, watchful of any movement.
Commissioner Raven was the first Sequence B commissioner to arrive at the scene, and is currently basically the messenger of the temporary camp. He walked briskly through a string of sentry posts and made his way to the busy experts.
"Professor Fang."
The professor in the white coat turned his head and made a waiting gesture at him. After arranging the affairs of at least three researchers, he quickly approached Commissioner Raven.
"I'm sorry, it's going to be a bit nervous, we've never experienced this before, it's the first time."
"I've heard that people from the Alliance have been here?"
"Yes, two young lads came to find out the situation, they were nice and eager to help. It's just that one of the lads talks a little too much."
Professor Fang took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. After all, he is not extraordinary, and he is not young anymore. Twenty-four hours of intense work has begun to send out signs of exhaustion in the body.
"You say there's progress?"
"Sort of, but it's hard to say the exact takeaway. Why don't I show you it? ”
Commissioner Crow followed Professor Fang out of the camp. The warriors on the edge of the blockade saluted the two men in a standard manner.
Across the blockade, there was a large clearing in the middle of the camp. In fact, it was supposed to be the location of a town, but the entire town's architectural clutter and every living person living in it disappeared into thin air.
Even the traces that should have been left on the ground are gone. It is not so much destroyed or annihilated, but rather as if it has been directly erased by some supreme power, as if the entire town of Wangshan never existed.
"We didn't make any progress for most of the day, until I introduced some new technology that I had developed after the Starflow Stone accident, and then we had it. These. ”
Professor Fang handed a meter to Commissioner Crow. It was a device with a black grip, resembling a stun gun, and an electronic display attached to it. Green and red bands alternate across the screen.
"What is this?" Commissioner Raven asked.
"After collecting and monitoring the readings of the astral flow stones, some special radiation values were summarized to reflect the fluctuations of the spatial class."
"Is this fluctuation normal now?"
Professor Fang took the meter from his hand: "It's not normal. This value is likely to reflect the presence of a spatial anomaly in the area we are facing, but it behaves completely different from the reading characteristics of the Starstone when it is activated.
Its numbers are weaker and its performance is much more modest. We can only speculate that we are dealing with some kind of containment that is very different from the Astral Stone, but also has a spatial nature.
If I were to make some non-written guesses, I think maybe Wangshan Town didn't disappear, but was just sent to another dimension. ”
Commissioner Crow's face moved: "Then maybe we will bring them back if we still have them?" ”
"What I said is just speculation, you should just be an old man's guess based on experience." Professor Fang sighed, "But even if that's the case, we may not be able to bring them back, and we are not even optimistic about whether people are dead or alive." ”
The two of them looked worried, and a voice rang out in the sky.
"Maybe I can help."
Professor Fang said dejectedly, "Thank you, but I don't think anyone can do anything in this situation." I'm afraid it's only God."
Then he swallowed back the rest of his sentence when he saw a certain red cloak floating above his head.
"Oh, you." Professor Fang changed his words directly.
That's fine.
Jiangbei fell to the side of the two: "The reading reaction is just ahead?" ”
"Yes, faint anomalous readings, there are spatial anomalies. However, it was not possible to find out what the containment object was causing the anomaly. Professor Fang said.
Jiang Bei nodded, crossed the blockade line, and walked towards the center of the clearing.
Professor Fang couldn't understand what he was trying to do, so he couldn't help but say again: "I've already applied to the headquarters to call the Starflow Stone recovered from the recent Shadow Demon Incident, maybe it can have some effect." Until then, we can only wait."
"Don't worry, I'm just going to try it."
Jiang Bei stepped forward and stopped in an open area.
Then he threw a punch into the empty air in front of him.
The air pressure changed suddenly, as if a hurricane had rolled up the entire camp area, followed by an explosion as if the air had been detonated, and transparent ripples spread out in bursts.
Everyone around was stunned to see that the air that was originally empty. It really left a small fist pit.
There were even cracks spread around it, like a mirror shattered by a punch.
Prof. Fang: (°ー°〃)
Then a whole circle of people silently watched Jiang Bei's hands reach into the cracked gap, and with a force, he directly rumbled open a gap that could accommodate one person to pass through.
Professor Fang was silent until he watched the red-cloaked figure disappear through the cracks.
Then he continued: "Well, or something like this. ”
On the other side of the channel, in the subspace realm, somewhere.
The shadow of a human figure walked through the ruined palace to the end of a withered hall.
It's a human girl-like figure. Petite, fair-skinned, delicate facial features, but cold as frost.
She carried an old lantern in her hand, made of some kind of dark yellow metal, of fine texture, but the outer layer was covered with filth and dust, as if it had not been used for years.
She laid the lantern flat on the stone table, her knuckles tapping the top.
A moment later, a glimmer of light lit up in the lamp's dim core. A cloud of black mist spewed out of it, forming a shape similar to a face in mid-air.
An abstract, indistinct face, but able to speak.
"Hey, it feels like it's been a few years since I last came out, how many years have I been asleep?"
"I don't know." The girl shook her head expressionlessly.
"What's the matter?"
The black mist's face said and yawned again.
"There's a problem."
The girl said jerkyly. Her tongue wasn't very flexible, like she hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time.
"Oh, that's supposed to know the rules." Black Mist said lazily, "Every problem has its price. So, what surprises do you have in store for me? ”
The girl stretched out her fair right hand, her slender five fingers spread out, and a crystal crystal lay flat in her palm.
Without saying a word, that face turned into a cloud of black mist and swept the crystals directly out of her hand. Then the mist churned in an uncertain form for a moment, as if it was slowly digesting the contents, and then it changed back to the appearance of the face.
The face is still abstract and blurry, but it vaguely seems to show a satisfied smile.
"A piece of energy crystal. So-so. So, what do you want to ask? ”
"Someone came in." The girl said dryly, "What should I do?" ”
The voice of the black mist face instantly became gloomy several degrees.
"Intruder. Is it human? ”
It snorted.
"It's simple. Whoever comes in, you just have to destroy them all. Leave no mouth alive. ”
