Hao Ren's backup plan came from his imagination. But before that, he had to figure out more about Zorm first. Considering that he could not disappear for too long in front of Nolan and the other mercenaries, he decided to return to the Plane of Dreams at noon.
Since he could not locate the real location of Zorm in the Plane of Dreams, the 'stable gate' of Tannagost could not be used anymore. So, he used the hibernation pods in the basement again. And this time, he decided to bring a few helpers, not to act together, but to split up and collect information. After all, the information that could be accessed in the mercenary camp was too limited.
"Sanba, Y 'zaks, and Vivian, come with me." Hao Ren chose the helpers he would bring. Nangong Sanba was an experienced demon hunter, Y 'zaks was steady, reliable, and powerful, and Vivian had tens of thousands of years of wisdom and alertness. Plus, the natives of Zorm were not familiar with supernatural powers. The three of them should be able to handle the situation without exposing their otherworldling powers. And even if there was an emergency, they were not afraid. After all, this time they were entering as spiritual bodies, and they could forcibly cut off the connection with the Plane of Dreams and return safely.
Looking at the hibernation pod slowly opening, Hao Ren grinned. "Heh, I didn't expect to use this thing again. I thought I wouldn't have to sleep in this coffin after finding the Tannagost rift."
After the MDT set the hibernation pod, it floated to Hao Ren's shoulder. "I have issued an order to the drone cluster. When we arrive at Zorm, set up the beacon and let the drone cluster determine our location from the outside. If we still can't find the navigation signal, then use your backup plan."
Vivian was the first to lie in the coffin, followed by Y 'zaks and Nangong Sanba. Hao Ren sat in the hibernation pod and said to Lily, "We will be in there for at least three to five days, and at most half a month. We probably won't wake up in the meantime. You and Wuyue look after the house, and don't make any trouble. Got it?"
Lily patted her chest confidently. "Don't worry, Mr. Landlord! Wuyue's parents are watching me. I can't make any trouble! "
Hao Ren was speechless. He really did not know if he should praise the idiot for knowing her place. Was this something that could be said with pride?
Rollie peeked at Hao Ren from the side of the hibernation pod, meowing from time to time. Y 'lisabet was talking to her dad in another hibernation pod. Hao Ren had goosebumps all over his body. He quickly waved his hand and said, "All right, all right, get out of here. This place is like a funeral again. Wuyue, don't forget to come down and tidy up the room often! Or at least clean our coffin … "
Nangong Wuyue patted the coffin with her tail and said, "Alright, alright, lie down. Landlord, you'd better not talk with that mouth of yours."
The lid of the hibernation pod slowly closed, and the darkness came. As the familiar sense of spiritual detachment faded, Hao Ren felt a foul smell in his nostrils. He opened his eyes and found himself standing in the corner of the black street slum. The bad air here almost made him want to cover his nose and run away.
"This place is really not fit for humans," Hao Ren said without turning his head. "Look, this is the place. We'll split up later. You know this place … Huh? Where are they? "
Hao Ren turned his head and was stunned to find that Vivian and the rest, who were supposed to follow him, were nowhere to be seen. He was the only one in the small empty space.
He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately called the MDT in his head. "MDT, something's wrong. There's a teleportation error. Vivian and the rest did not come in …"
Halfway through his call, he heard Vivian's voice coming from another communication channel in his head. "Mr. Landlord, is our teleportation path wrong?"
Hao Ren quickly put the several channels together. "Vivian? Where are the rest? Are they with you? Where are you now? "
"Holletta, in the wilderness near the Royal City." Vivian's voice sounded slightly distorted, but the signal was still clear. "This is the default coordinate of the spiritual immersion state. Big Guy and Sanba are with me. The three of us have been sent to Holletta. "
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. He then looked around and walked out of the corner with his head down. At the same time, he asked the MDT in his head, "MDT, check the equipment parameters. Did Vivian and the rest's hibernation pod settings not change?"
"There's no problem with the equipment parameters. The three of their hibernation pods are indeed set to the same spiritual path as yours. But for some reason, the parameters were invalid at the moment of spiritual immersion. Then they were teleported according to the default coordinates left before they left Holletta."
There was an unexpected deviation in the situation. Hao Ren immediately let Vivian and the rest return to the Surface World, and then let the MDT remotely control the hibernation pod in the Surface World to perform the operation again. The result was still the same: Vivian and the rest were sent to Holletta.
"Do you want to try again?" Vivian asked in the communication channel. "Maybe the Wall of Reality is particularly strong today?"
Hao Ren thought for a moment and rejected the suggestion. "Don't try again. I'm afraid it's a deeper problem. It seems that no one can come here except for me and the MDT. "
"Do you want to continue the investigation?" Vivian's voice sounded a little concerned. "Is there any problem on your side?"
"Everything is fine on my side," Hao Ren assured her. "You three go back and help me look after the house. It seems that even God doesn't want me to relax. He wants me to deal with this mess alone. "
Hearing his relaxed tone, Vivian knew that Hao Ren was fine. She smiled and said, "Don't complain about God. God is your boss now. Be careful over there. We'll go back first."
After the communication was hung up, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he would be alone in this world for the next few days. Fortunately, he was alone before, so there was no pressure. But the current situation still puzzled him. "MDT, give me an idea. What's going on?"
"Only you can reach this planet through spiritual projection. As an 'appendage' bound to your mind, I can enter this world in an incomplete state. Other than that, no one else can."
"The key is the reason. Why is this happening?" Hao Ren frowned and looked up at the gray sky above. "Does this planet have some filtering mechanism or identification requirements? Those who don't meet the requirements will be rejected? "
"Insufficient conditions, no comment. We originally guessed that there was a problem with Zorm, but now it seems that the problem is also with you," the MDT said cheerfully, completely ignoring Hao Ren's darkening face. "On the bright side, maybe it's just something wrong with your head? By the way, when are you going to let me out of the dimensional pocket? "
"Dimensional pocket?" Hao Ren was stunned. Only then did he realize that the MDT had been talking to him through the spiritual link. The brick did not teleport him in one piece again. He immediately checked his Dimensional Pocket, and found the MDT in its corpse form lying inside …
"The corpse did disappear in the surface world," Hao Ren said thoughtfully. "But after coming to Zorm, the corpse inexplicably reappeared … The dimensional pocket is something encrypted by God, secular forces should not be able to affect it. So how did the corpse …"
"Anyway, when are you going to let me out?" the MDT yelled. "I'm suffocating in here!"
"What are you yelling for!" Hao Ren roared at the MDT in his mind. "You've lost all your senses in the corpse state, okay? Can you still feel aggrieved? "
"Oh, maybe it's just a psychological effect. Keep exploring, I'll tell you the story of Ali Baba and the forty dwarfs …"
Hao Ren simply blocked the noisy thing, leaving only an emergency notification channel. The world was finally quiet.
The dirty streets of the slums stretched out in front of him. Pairs of alert and vigilant eyes flickered behind the cracks in the doors and windows. Hao Ren walked through the messy streets uncomfortably. He still remembered the location of the Grey Fox mercenary group's station, but he did not plan to go there for the time being.
He wanted to wander around this chaotic street and gain a deeper understanding of this place.
