Luke didn't land directly on the ground. Instead, he used the armor and the drone to quickly scan the area around the spot where he had disappeared.
Very soon, the V suit's AI program, Victoria, summarized the information: No abnormalities.
Everything was as Claire and Gold Nugget had said. There were no signs of human activity on either side of the narrow, abandoned path, whether it was the cliffs or the deep ravines.
Looking at the image the drone sent back to the abandoned town, Luke frowned.
A faint white fog enveloped the abandoned town, which looked like an illusory ghost town on the drone's screen.
Luke slowly landed at the turn, and a system notification rang out: You have entered an unknown mental energy field. Unknown mental energy is being linked. Do you accept?
He didn't make a choice immediately, and flew lightly into the town.
Two hundred meters later, a gray road sign appeared on the side of the road.
Luke glanced at it casually: Silent
Hill-South
Vale。
Marking the location on the map, he continued to fly along the path, and couldn't help but complain about the director's artistic illness.
There was a road on the other side, and they had to walk around on foot just to take a look along the road. In the end, they ran into this baffling thing.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment.
The system notification just now said that this area was enveloped by unknown mental energy.
The crew was going to enter this area anyway, so it didn't really matter where they came from. What happened depended on luck.
Stacy was clearly the unlucky one.
As he pondered this, he had already entered the abandoned town.
He activated Elementary Soundwave and Sharp Nose, and the drone locked onto the area.
There was no one.
This was a completely empty town.
The last bit of dark red light on the horizon pierced through the faint white fog and dyed the dilapidated buildings a dark red, like a chopping board that had been soaked in blood and then washed clean.
There weren't even any traces of human activity here, let alone people.
There was a slight smell of burning coal in the air, and faint white ash slowly fell on his uniform and cloak.
Luke floated in the air, deep in thought.
A moment later, he thought of something and chose "Yes" on the system panel.
In an instant, the smell of burning coal in the air became ten times stronger, and the air, which had originally been harmless to people, was now clearly uncomfortable.
At the same time, the mist-like white dust in the air increased rapidly. Originally, it was as fine as sand, but now it could be seen clearly in flakes, like falling snowflakes.
Luke caught one and examined it. It wasn't snow, but coal ash.
He closed his eyes and quietly sensed for a moment.
When he opened his eyes again, he raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "Interesting. It's not an illusion."
After sensing for a moment, he shook his head slightly. "But it's not reality either."
As a composite fertilizer with multiple superpowers, no, a composite talent, Luke's senses were extremely sharp.
Coupled with Tony's knowledge, he could analyze all kinds of things scientifically, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong with this place. The tycoon's invention didn't rely on science, but Luke still had to explain what he had learned.
Just like now, the sound waves in the air were attenuated extremely quickly, almost disappearing in less than ten meters.
Not to mention the light, the thick white dust made it impossible to see anything more than five meters away.
The air was filled with the smell of burning coal, which greatly interfered with his sense of smell.
What was even stranger was that all the drones had lost contact. There was no signal at all.
He casually released a drone, which disappeared five meters away. There was also no sound or signal.
Luke shook his head and released another drone, setting a simple turn back command.
The drone charged into the white dust, disappeared for a moment, and reappeared.
He sighed. "Alright, I can see through the entire map now."
Although the drone could work, its real-time signal transmission was limited to a range of five meters, just like sound waves and light.
He could see and hear within five meters, and it would take him less than 0.01 seconds to move over. The drone's early detection function was basically useless.
"Interesting place," he murmured. "It can actually use mental energy to distort space and even change the laws of physics."
With a complicated expression, he sighed again. "Stacy, you've really gone overboard this time!"
In theory, this was Claire's fault.
But as long as the crew entered the range of the unknown mental energy, it would depend on the mood of the owner of this half-real, half-fake "world" whether they disappeared or not.
The real responsibility would probably lie with the director who had chosen this damn place.
What kind of brain was that? He had chosen a super terrifying place. This director must be an African prince!
Cursing inwardly, Luke quickly rose.
The thrusters lifted him almost a hundred meters into the air in a few seconds, before he stopped.
He couldn't fly any higher!
There was a boundary here, and when Luke approached, he felt a tremendous force pushing him back into this world.
Clearly, this was a special cage.
It was easy to enter, but he would have to wrestle with the owner of this place when he left.
Luke might be able to force his way out, but what if the owner didn't let him in?
Stacy was still here, and he didn't have much time to test things.
After a few tests, he didn't waste any more time. He activated the thrusters and quickly flew along the streets above the town.
In less than ten seconds, he realized that the energy consumption and speed of high-speed flight weren't proportional at all.
Just like when he was high in the sky, when his speed approached a certain limit, this space would suppress him from accelerating any further. At the same time, the energy consumption of the arc reactor increased rapidly.
He was spending a lot of energy for no reason, but he couldn't increase his speed. It was clear that the owner of this place had twisted some rules.
Although he had a lot of spare arc reactors, there was no need to fight back before he even met the other party.
Thinking that, he unfurled the cloak on his back and silently glided through the town. The thrusters were only auxiliary, and they erupted intermittently.
The town wasn't big. Luke searched the streets and soon found something.
This was the main road into the town, but there was a break in the road out of the town.
Standing at the break, he couldn't see anything on the other side, and there was a bottomless abyss under his feet.
Luke casually tossed down a piece of metal from his inventory, but there was no response. It was as if the abyss had swallowed it.
In fact, he could sense that the abyss was the same as a hundred meters in the sky.
If he wanted to fly over here, there would be a tremendous force pressing down on him, and he would fall into the abyss.
After a simple test of the break, Luke stopped paying attention to it and looked at the ground not far away.
There were a few indistinct marks on the ground that was covered in a thick layer of white ash.
They were footprints.
Luke quickly locked onto one of them, which was close to the size of Stacy's feet.
He immediately turned around and followed the three sets of footprints.
A few seconds later, a strange corpse appeared on the ground a hundred meters away. It was a heavily corroded police helmet and a police jacket.
At this point, the three sets of footprints split up.
Stacy was with the woman in boots. She was probably the policewoman.
The other set of footprints left directly on the other side.
