"Where did this pocket dimension go?"
Puzzled, the group of posthumans walked around the area a few times but did not find any trace of the pocket dimension. Weeds, gravel, abandoned building materials … Everything was the same as before. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
Even though Faun was holding the pocket dimension detector that Rena and Rena had mentioned, the little thing remained silent. No matter how many times Faun restarted it, it did not make the beep that indicated that they had entered the pocket dimension.
"Could it be that we have already entered the pocket dimension? Maybe this pocket dimension has changed to match the surroundings, so we didn't notice it? "
After searching for twenty minutes, the man with half human skin and half tree skin couldn't help but raise this seemingly ridiculous possibility. His voice was still the same. It was so low that it made it hard for them to breathe.
"It's not impossible," Faun muttered to himself. Then, he waved his hand. "Let's try and see if we can walk out of this empty space … If we can't, it means that we have entered the pocket dimension."
It seemed that they had no other choice. The group of posthumans followed him again and walked in the direction they came from.
As expected, they walked out of the empty space unhindered. They even walked all the way to the edge of the square where the duel took place. Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do, a member of the Smiling Mermaid Clan who was in charge of guarding the area poked his head out from the intersection and shouted in surprise, "How did you guys get out so quickly?"
Faun stopped in a daze. He didn't know how to reply.
He wasn't the only one. The group of posthumans behind him were also a little dumbfounded. They had said that they were here to explore the pocket dimension. Now that they couldn't even find the pocket dimension, would they still get their reward of 80 big crystals?
"Could the pocket dimension have disappeared?"
Lin Sanjiu whispered to Mrs. Manas. She couldn't help thinking about the reward she was about to receive, but it was now gone. She sighed inwardly and looked around at the people around her. As expected, they were all frowning and didn't seem to be in a good mood.
However, at that moment, her gaze suddenly froze.
The only one who didn't look right was the strange Sajee.
At this moment, the group led by Faun was standing on a small path in front of the entrance of the plaza. If they walked up this path and passed the guards, they would see the stronghold of the Smiling Mermaid in the distance. If they walked down this path, they would reach the empty space that was supposed to be the Instance Dungeon.
As the Faun hesitated, for a moment not knowing what to do, the others stood silently behind him; only Sajee dashed forward and stopped a little in front of the Faun, looking from side to side as if anxious, and rubbing her feet against the ground.
The rustling sound did not stop for a moment, and it was accompanied by the sound of stones scraping against the bricks. It was indeed very annoying. The old Native American tried to hold it in. Finally, he suppressed his anger and shouted, "Stop grinding!"
Slowing down his tone, he looked at the pair of black eyes that looked like they were about to scatter and said, "… Did you discover something?"
Sajee stared at him for a moment, then looked at the ground. She said nothing.
The smile that seemed to grow on her face just now had disappeared without her knowing it. Without that little bit of lively expression on her face, it was as if two white eyeballs were about to roll out of her black hole-like eyes. She looked a little scary.
Sajee rubbed her feet against the ground again. She didn't know if she was annoyed or anxious.
When the old Native American snorted angrily, Lin Sanjiu instantly felt a chill run down her spine.
Perhaps the others didn't notice such minute details, but she did.
The stone path was covered with a thick layer of dust. Every time Sajee rubbed her feet against the ground, the tip of her shoe would lift up a little bit of sand. This was something that couldn't be more normal.
However, the sand that she lifted just now completely defied the law of gravity when it fell.
After the dust left the tip of Lin Sanjiu's shoe, it suddenly melted and disappeared into thin air. Just when Lin Sanjiu was wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her, half a second later, the fine dust fell to the ground about ten centimeters away from her. It was so smooth and natural that it seemed like it was meant to fall there.
If Lin Sanjiu hadn't been suspicious of Sajee all this while and had been watching her closely, she probably wouldn't have noticed that something was amiss. Even now, the people around her were still in a daze and were still discussing about the 80 big crystals.
When Lin Sanjiu raised her head, her eyes met with a pair of black eyes that seemed to pollute the whites of her eyes.
"… Do you know that something is wrong?" Lin Sanjiu calmed herself down and asked in a low voice.
The old Native American had asked the same question just now. Sajee suddenly giggled. She didn't say anything, but she stopped walking.
"I don't think she's normal," the old Native American tapped his temple. With a tone that suggested that they shared a common enemy, he said, "I don't think we can get anything out of her."
Sajee giggled again, but she didn't reply. Instead, she turned to Faun and said, "Why don't you go and ask that guard and see if he noticed anything strange?"
As she spoke, she gestured toward the path leading up the slope. However, her movement was very strange. She refused to straighten her arm and curled it up like a chicken's wing. She only extended a finger to point in the direction of the guard. Lin Sanjiu immediately realized that she didn't want to extend her arm out of the area where the sand had fallen.
When Lin Sanjiu saw that Faun nodded and was about to take a step forward, she panicked. She yelled and reached out to grab his robe. As the warning sign fell to the ground with a clang, Faun's hood was pulled down halfway, revealing a delicate but confused face.
"What, what's wrong?" He didn't seem to be used to being stared at directly. His fair skin quickly turned red. Then, he pulled his robe up, "Don't pull my clothes!"
Apparently, he didn't notice anything just now.
Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at Sajee, who was smiling. She didn't know where the anger came from. Just when she was about to question Sajee in front of everyone, she looked around and gasped together with the people around her.
The yellow warning sign that had slid off her shoulder fell to the ground, right at the edge where the sand had disappeared. The yellow sign suddenly melted into the air. Half a second later, it appeared about half a meter away. There was an inexplicable gap between the sign and the metal pole. In the blink of an eye, when Lin Sanjiu looked again, the warning sign was still connected to the metal pole. It was as if the "separation of the head and body" was just an illusion.
"What, what's going on?" Faun asked in a daze. He then turned to look at Lin Sanjiu. After two seconds, he turned to stare at Sajee. He seemed to have thought of something.
"Miss Sajee, I think it's time for you to tell us what you know, right?"
Lin Sanjiu asked coldly.
Once she said that, the group of people immediately took two steps forward without saying a word. They surrounded Sajee, who was looking left and right.
"Aiya, why are all of you so serious?" Sajee looked at the group of people and then looked behind her. She scratched her head and said, "I didn't expect that a legend I heard in the past could actually be true."
She stuck out her tongue. The tip of her tongue was pale and bloodless, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you. That's right."
"Let me ask you. What is a pocket dimension?" Sajee asked with a smile.
After a second of silence, the most normal-looking young man, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, was the first to answer, "Based on what we know now, it's probably a type of apocalyptic world that has yet to take shape. For some unknown reason, there would usually be a few pocket dimensions attached to a formed apocalyptic world."
"That's right," Sajee waved her hand as if she had already revealed the answer. "Don't you guys know this very well? A fetus that can't grow up watching its brother grow into a tall and strong young man. How could it be satisfied? "
"Even though it's not satisfied, most of the 'fetus' can't do anything. However, the one we found is a little different. I think it's imitating the appearance of its' brother '. It's slowly occupying its brother's territory … "
Ignoring everyone's shocked expressions, Sajee grinned and said, "We're lucky. The Growth-type pocket dimension that we walked into has just awakened. If it starts to replace the world of Red Nautilus, I really don't know what will happen to the people it affects …"
