Nasaton, the city of the deep. The large protective barrier over the ancient city was about to close for the first time in 10,000 years. The translucent membrane above the city was slowly collapsing and fading with the apex as the centre. The spatial layer and the layers of invisible labyrinths that could block outsiders had also failed. With the closing of the protective wall, the huge whirlpool above the city gradually lost its energy supply. Its edges trembled slightly, and then it slowed down a little. However, as the Queen of the Sirens predicted, the whirlpool did not disappear. It was still growing, slowly but unstoppable.
Hao Ren led everyone back to the surface of the city (it was a bit strange to use the word 'surface' in the deep sea). He looked at the vortex above his head. It gave them an inexplicable psychological pressure as if it would fall and swallow everything at any time. "Now we have a month to shut this thing down. I think it will directly affect my year-end bonus this year... So, who has a better plan?"
The MDT did not hesitate at all. "Blow it up."
Hao Ren thought for a moment. He reached out and grabbed Lil Pea from the water beside him and held her in front of the MDT. "You have 30 seconds to explain. If you can't explain, you'll play with her for the whole day."
The MDT swished a few meters away. "Put that fish down! I'm not kidding! "
Lil Pea clapped her hands excitedly. "No kidding! No kidding! "
"Well," Hao Ren let Lil Pea out and let the little one swim in circles. He looked up at the MDT. "Are you really going to blow up this big vortex? To be fair, I think once this thing is detonated, it won't just dissipate. It has accumulated a lot of energy from Nasaton's energy core and the earth's core. Once these things are released... "
"Once you release it, you can be rated as the greatest villain of the century without doing anything. In the movies, superheroes would not be able to shoot you for half an hour, and they would have to resurrect and shoot you again in the next episode," the MDT buzzed around Hao Ren's head. "But in theory, we can release its energy to other places, such as into the void. We can detonate it at both ends of the maelstrom at the same time, destroying its structural stability, so that its energy will be concentrated in the center, which is located in the gap between the Surface World and the Plane of Dreams. In other words, it will be banished into the void. Of course, this requires a little bit of precision … But if it really succeeds, not only will we be able to solve this vortex, but the power it produces can also slightly push the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World apart. In this way, we can also slightly strengthen the Wall of Reality, killing two birds with one stone. "
Hao Ren listened carefully and tried to simulate it in his mind, pretending to be very professional. "Although I don't quite understand it, it sounds quite reliable. But you said to detonate at both ends of the Great Maelstrom at the same time … What do you mean by the other end? "
Nangong Wuyue, who was listening to the commotion, suddenly reacted. "The Plane of Dreams?!"
The MDT floated up and down. "Yes, The Plane of Dreams. According to my observation, this portal has begun to take shape, and the other end should be opened somewhere in The Plane of Dreams. We detonate it in both the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World at the same time. Duang, the whole world will be quiet. "
Hao Ren looked around and nodded. "I think it's a little feasible."
Lily scratched her chin and thought for a moment. "But to be honest, I don't seem to understand."
"It's okay, I don't understand either," Hao Ren waved his hand. "Anyway, we detonate it at both ends of the Great Maelstrom at the same time. Don't worry about the principle, we can't figure it out very often anyway. So how do we locate the other end of the Great Maelstrom? "
Hasse led the two demon hunters to watch the show. At this time, White Flame suddenly could not help but mumble, "Can you really save the world like this?"
"It is said that every time they save the world," Nangong Sanba said, spreading his hands. "It's like a f * cking stunt …"
"If you don't want to help, just stay away," Vivian squinted at them. "We are discussing how to save the world," Hasse's stiff face twitched slightly.
Hasse's stiff face twitched slightly, and a strange light flashed in his only eye. "Can you take some time to explain to me what's happening after you've finished your discussion? I'm a little interested in you. "
Hao Ren waved his hand indifferently, but he was relieved. This stubborn old demon hunter, who did not care about anything else, finally took the bait. Hao Ren's effort to talk about saving the world was not in vain. The fact that Hao Ren was willing to explore the Plane of Dreams was obviously more effective than preaching to him in the future. Hao Ren's first brick to shake the world's most stubborn demon hunters was about to shake.
And judging from Hasse's tone, the brick was shaking quite badly.
"Can you send a detector over?" At this time, Vivian conjured a bat and threw it in the direction of the Great Maelstrom. "I see that the door is almost open. Maybe there is a gap in the door that we can sneak through. We can use the detector to go through and locate the other side of the Great Maelstrom. Then we can enter the Plane of Dreams from another place and find the other end of the Great Maelstrom …"
"Don't," the MDT quickly stopped her. "We have to do everything possible to prevent the 'information' from passing through the Wall of Reality. You have to remember that 'information is everything'. Sending a detector with a signal function to the other side is far more dangerous than shooting at it from here. If possible, let alone the detector, we can't even let a stone pass through. "
"Then how do we know where the other end of the portal is in the Plane of Dreams?" Y 'zaks asked in a muffled voice. "The universe is so big, do you want to use a radar to scan slowly?"
The MDT swayed slightly. "So the biggest difficulty of this plan is to determine the location of the other end of the portal. We must find it within a month and then throw the explosives in. Other than that, explosives are the easiest to solve. "
The siren queen had been listening, trying to keep up with Hao Ren and the others. Although she did not understand a lot of things, she could still guess what these people wanted to do. "You want to find out where the Great Maelstrom leads to?"
Lily's ears immediately perked up. "Your Majesty, you know?!"
"You can call me Katreina. You are our distinguished guests, and there is no need for formalities in the city of the sirens." The siren queen smiled. "Also, about this Great Maelstrom, if I am not wrong, it probably leads to our home."
"I know, it leads to the Plane of Dreams …" Hao Ren said instinctively, but suddenly realized something. "Wait, you mean the planet where the sirens originated from?"
"We don't know exactly where we came from, but we know that we came from a faraway place — definitely not here." Katreina, the Queen of the Sirens, nodded. "The water in Nasaton's aqua dome is slightly different from the water on this planet. Of course, the chemical composition is the same, but the sirens can distinguish some very subtle differences. We believe that the water in the Water Dome comes from our home. "
Hao Ren looked up at the Water Dome above the city. After the wall was closed, the city still had a layer of protection, and that was Nasaton's own dome shield. This shield isolated the entire city from the outside world. The water inside the dome had not been lost for ten thousand years, and was constantly replenished. This was the operating mechanism of the city's ecosystem.
The entire city was a giant space fortress, and it was still well sealed to this day.
"You sensed the same aura from the Great Maelstrom as you sensed from inside the Water Dome?" Lily asked, blinking.
Katreina closed her eyes slightly. "Yes, and perhaps it was this aura that allowed the sirens to be easily controlled by that monster — we longed to return to our home, so the moment the Great Maelstrom emitted the aura of our home, the sirens subconsciously gave up resisting … We were homesick."
The atmosphere was a little gloomy. Finally, it was Vivian who clapped her hands. "Alright, we now have a goal: to find the location of the siren planet in the Plane of Dreams. Why do I feel like the difficulty hasn't decreased much? "
Nangong Wuyue did not know whether to laugh or cry. "From finding a needle in a haystack to finding a pea in a haystack, but it's no use. Who knows where our planet of origin is!"
Lil Pea heard someone calling her name and quickly swam over to rub against Nangong Wuyue's arm. Then, she hovered in the water and did not move. She was waiting for someone to rescue her.
Hao Ren rubbed his chin, and a thought came to him. "Someone knows … Nasaton is an interstellar spaceship, and it knows where it came from!"
