After Brother Jue and Headquarters were carried onto the spaceship, they were placed inside two transparent cylindrical containers.
Then, the deranged professor and his robot avatar put the breathing apparatus inside the containers on Brother Jue and Headquarters. Then, the professor walked to the control panel and used the computer to close the doors of the two containers. Then … he started to pour 'water' into the containers.
Of course, the transparent liquid that flowed into the containers through the pipes and looked like 'water' was not actually 'water' … It was an organic liquid that acted as a conductive medium.
After extensive research and experiments, the Deranged Professor discovered that the blood of the Tetrapods (Every century, the Tetrapods' bodies would transform into solid, gaseous, liquid, and pseudo-light states. This was an inevitable physiological phenomenon of this race) in the solid state, after being refined, could be turned into an "ultimate conductor", which was also one of the necessities to power his device.
"Don't worry too much." The deranged professor busied himself in front of the screen as he told the two heroes inside the containers, "When my vibrator is successfully activated, the power supply will automatically stop. If you're lucky, you might still be alive." He paused. "Oh … but after that, you'll have to face the superspin since you've been drained of all your biological energy … so …"
At this point, the professor tilted his head to look at them with a nonchalant expression.
Obviously, he didn't care about other people's lives anymore. In fact, what he was about to do would destroy the entire universe, so … one or two lives were nothing to him.
'Tsk … looks like we're really going to die here …' On the other side, Brother Jue, who was completely submerged in the liquid, thought to himself. 'I wonder what the resurrection mechanism is like in the free exploration mode … Will I be like Kenny (Kenny from South Park), waking up at the save point the next day and no one around me remembers that I died? Or … will I just rewind? '
Just as the word 'rewind' entered his mind, a lightbulb lit up in Feng Bujue's mind. "Wait a minute … The man just said that his device is called 'Cone of Light Vibrator', right?" He immediately thought back to the setting of the superspin, and it dawned on him. "What the f * ck! No wonder he said 'it's almost time'! '
At that moment, Feng Bujue finally understood what the deranged professor's goal was …
'No wonder he said I haven't seen the whole picture of his plan …' Brother Jue thought to himself. 'Capturing the heroes alive is just one part of his plan. Today, he used the unique' timing 'of the superspin, the' geographical advantage 'of the Warm Ocean Planet, and the cooperation of the two of us idiots …'
From the word 'idiot' in his mind, it was not hard to see that … Brother Jue was quite depressed.
This was because he was a person who was used to blaming himself whenever he failed.
The situation before his eyes … even though it did not look like the responsibility was on him, and it was mainly due to the opponent's unintentional attack that caught him off guard, Feng Bujue still saw it clearly. He knew that he had been influenced by the 'superspin', and he had acted too rashly when he made his move. If he had been more careful, there was a chance that he could have avoided this situation.
"Hmm … It seems like it's time."
About two minutes later, the deranged professor looked at the monitor and muttered. Then, he pushed a lever on the control panel.
Then, the equipment around the two containers lit up. The cabin was filled with noises. Feng Bujue and Headquarter … could clearly feel the 'power' in their bodies rapidly draining away.
This' draining 'feeling was different from the burning sensation they felt when they were poisoned. If one had to compare it, the feeling of the' draining 'was like excessive blood loss, while the feeling of the' draining 'was like having one of their organs removed.
"Ugh … Ugh …" The machine had only been activated for three seconds when Headquarter's muffled groan came through the respirator. His voice could be heard outside the container.
Feng Bujue did not scream because … at that moment, the shock in his heart had reached a stage where he could ignore the physical pain.
"Hey, hey … this is not so good, is it?" When Brother Jue said that in his heart, he was watching his Life Points, Stamina Points, and Sorcery Points drop at the same time, and … it was his upper limit that was dropping.
Fortunately, the 'power supply device' did not work for too long. After about twenty seconds, the surroundings suddenly quieted down.
In fact, this was not the usual 'silence'. It was a very unusual kind of silence. It was as if … 'sound' had disappeared from the world.
Feng Bujue quickly realized that this was the start of the 'superspin'.
What was surprising was that when this "silent" realm descended, the deranged professor actually opened the hatch and ran out of the spaceship.
Almost at the same time, the power supply device stopped working.
Just as the deranged professor said, after the power supply stopped, Feng Bujue and Headquarter did not die. Since they had plenty of Life Points, before they were 'drained', the vibrator had been successfully activated.
Not only that, after the 'power supply' process, the influence of the poisonous gas was' drained 'along with their Life Points. This allowed the two of them to regain their mobility.
However, at this moment, Brother Jue and Headquarter's physical fitness had dropped to the level of an ordinary human. Soaked in the liquid, they could not even break the container around them.
Besides, even if they did break the container, there was still the professor's robot double standing guard outside. With their current combat power, they would not even be able to withstand a punch or a kick from the robot double.
However, no one expected that in just a few seconds, there would be an unexpected turn of events.
Under the effect of the 'superspin', the outer wall of the container that Feng Bujue and Headquarters were in started to disintegrate on its own.
Then, the two full containers of conductive fluid flowed into the cabin. The two heroes took off the respirators on their faces and climbed out of the container.
Until the two of them stood still, the robot double that was facing them remained motionless.
Even though Headquarter could not figure out what was going on, Brother Jue realized that the robot double's reaction meant that … the deranged professor was probably no longer in this space and time.
"Follow … me …" Two seconds later, Brother Jue patted Boss Hombre on his shoulder and said slowly and clearly to the man.
Since sound could not be transmitted normally, Feng Bujue could only communicate with Headquarter using exaggerated mouth movements and hand language.
Headquarter was not smart, but with such a short sentence and slow speech, he could still guess.
So, with Feng Bujue leading the way, the two of them quickly left the spaceship and returned to the open space outside.
At this time, the surface of Warm Ocean Star was a mess. There were plants growing in reverse, objects disintegrating into dust (just like the outer walls of the two containers), and clouds moving at high speed like they were alive … These kinds of scenes that violated the laws of nature were very common in the superspin.
The thing that really caught their attention was … a "door of light" about ten meters tall and three meters wide in the shape of a date seed appeared right in front of the deranged professor's spaceship.
"As expected …" When Feng Bujue saw the door of light, he thought to himself, "Because they couldn't determine the actual size of the space-time rift, the vibration generator was built outside the spaceship …"
As he thought this, he began to walk towards the crack.
After a few steps, Headquarter patted him on the shoulder from behind …
Feng Bujue looked back at Headquarter. Even though the two of them could not speak, Headquarter's eyes showed obvious confusion and anxiety.
"Staying here …" Feng Bujue still mouthed and gestured, "… is still death."
He did not say too much. On the one hand, Headquarter would not understand if he said too many words. On the other hand … this sentence was enough.
Headquarter understood what Brother Jue meant. He frowned and thought for a few seconds. He gulped and looked back at Brother Jue with a helpless and relieved expression. He nodded.
Just like that, the two of them walked into the "door of light" one after another …
…
After walking into the space-time rift, the situation was surprisingly peaceful.
This was a strange experience for Headquarter, but Brother Jue was very familiar with it … because it was similar to the feeling of "teleportation". However, this was also the first time he walked in the white light with his own feet.
One step, one step …
Feng Bujue adjusted his stride precisely to calculate the distance he walked and memorized it.
After walking for exactly fifty meters, Feng Bujue suddenly felt a strong pulling force in front of him … This force was so strong that Brother Jue did not have time to react before he was dragged forward.
Headquarter, who was following behind, saw this and wanted to reach out to grab him. Unexpectedly, when Headquarter's hand crossed an invisible boundary, he was also affected by the force. Then … he was dragged along with Headquarter.
Bang!
When the gravitational force dissipated, a loud noise rang in their ears.
This was a brutal attack for the two of them who had been in a silent environment.
Feng Bujue and Headquarter both knelt on the ground. They instinctively covered their heads and closed their eyes, enduring the shock and pain from their eardrums to their brains.
After a while, when the two of them came back to their senses and opened their eyes again, they found that … they were on a flat rocky ground. Judging from the surrounding scenery and the situation in the sky, they were still on Warm Ocean Star, but the supermagnetic vortex seemed to have stopped.
"Phew …" Headquarter adjusted his breathing and said, "Are you okay?"
"I'm not okay," Feng Bujue said honestly, "but I'm not dead yet."
"Hmm …" Headquarter understood what Brother Jue meant. His situation was similar to Brother Jue's. Although he was not dead, his combat power had been reduced by about seventy to eighty percent. "I'm in the same situation …" He paused and asked, "Poker Man, what happened just now? Did we lose our hearing because of the poisonous gas or because of the machine? What's that glowing door? Why did the supermagnetic vortex stop after we walked in for a while? "
"We never lost our hearing." Feng Bujue began to answer without hesitation. "When there was no sound, it was because of the supermagnetic vortex. Similarly … the two containers that imprisoned us broke because of the decomposition effect caused by the supermagnetic vortex." He paused for a moment and said, "As for the glowing door, it was undoubtedly created by the 'light cone vibrator' mentioned by the deranged professor. Simply put … it was a relatively safe and extremely small space-time rift."
"Erm … Like a time tunnel?" Headquarter, who had only half of the story, asked.
"You could say that," Feng Bujue replied.
"So … we are now on Warm Ocean Star at another point in time?" Headquarter asked again.
"I think so," Feng Bujue said.
"Wait a minute …" Headquarter heard this and his expression changed. "That means … the Warm Ocean Star in front of us could experience another supermagnetic vortex at any time!"
"Ah …" Brother Jue replied weakly, "This is indeed a problem …"
"Hey! This is a matter of life and death, okay? " Headquarter was not as calm as he was. "If we don't find a way to escape from this planet, we'll be dead in less than 300 universe weeks!"
"There's no point in panicking." Feng Bujue added, "Our physical abilities have been weakened. Even if we weren't weakened, we aren't the kind of species that can travel through space with our physical bodies. So, without a spaceship, there's nothing we can do."
"Aren't we and the deranged professor's spaceship still …" Headquarter wanted to say something.
Brother Jue cut him off. "Assuming that we are currently in the 'past', then these two spaceships obviously have not landed on this planet before. But if we are in the 'future', then these two spaceships must have been destroyed by who knows how many times they have been through the superspin to the point where they are no longer usable."
Unfortunately, Feng Bujue had already come to a conclusion before Headquarter came to a conclusion — a terrible conclusion.
"Right!" Headquarter thought for a few seconds and said, "What about the deranged professor? He's here as well, right? Why don't I see him? "
"Oh, him … He's definitely here." Feng Bujue tilted his head and replied, "But I'm guessing he's already out of the planet's atmosphere."
"What?" Headquarter was shocked. "How is that possible? Didn't you just say … no matter if it's the past or the future, there won't be any spaceships here? "
"Humph … He doesn't need any spaceships." Feng Bujue said, "Don't forget, the deranged professor is a cyborg. He can transform himself into a form that can survive and travel through space." As he spoke, he gestured around with his eyes. "In fact, to undergo this transmigration, he has to undergo such a transformation. Even if it's him, I'm afraid he can't be sure … if there's a 'planet' in his position after transmigration."
"Huh?" Headquarter didn't understand this sentence, so he was confused.
"Sigh …" Brother Jue sighed and explained, "This is a problem that many time travelers overlook. Generally speaking, a time machine will only change the time coordinate, but it won't change its own space coordinate in the universe. In that case, even if we don't consider the fact that the universe itself is always changing, we have to at least consider the revolution and rotation of the planet itself. Otherwise, under the premise that the time axis has changed, but the space axis is still the same, 99% of time travelers will end up in outer space. If they're unlucky, they might end up in the core of the planet."
"Oh!" After Headquarters heard this, his eyes widened. In the next few seconds, he first pretended to be enlightened, and then he broke out in a cold sweat. "Then … the two of us are already very lucky to be able to land safely on the surface of the planet!"
"It might not necessarily be luck …" Feng Bujue replied. "I think there are two possibilities. One, we're really lucky. Two, when the deranged professor designed the ritual, he also solved the problem of the space axis." He shrugged. "But, the probability of the former is very low, and the latter … not only is the probability low, but it's also very difficult, and there's no guarantee of success. Of course, no matter what, with the deranged professor's personality and intellect, he would have made ample preparations before he made his move. So, be it outer space or the core of the planet, I'm sure he'll be able to handle it. "
"Then … what should we do?" Headquarter asked. "Can we only wait for our deaths?"
Feng Bujue didn't answer this question because before Headquarter finished speaking, the giant shadow of a spaceship appeared in the sky above them.
