In the end, Xiao Ran held back his laughter as he returned to his residence. Xiangliang Sosuke's serious look really amused Xiao Ran. Xiangliang Sosuke's words were like orders to him. He had met two other Xiangliang Sosukes before, but this Xiangliang Sosuke was the one that Xiao Ran was most familiar with. He didn't have the heart of a hero, and he was more like a real person. Instead, he was the most interesting one.
Although Xiao Ran's actions were a little black-bellied and a little bad, he had to admit that to Qianniao, Xiang Liang Zongjie was the best stabilizer, especially when it came to a deep kiss or something like that. It would definitely cause Qianniao's bloodline to swell, her blood to rush to her head, her face to blush, and her heart to feel shy. In the end, all of this would spread out and transform into a unique shyness and anger that belonged to Qianniao. No matter what kind of situation it was, it would be able to wake up in an instant and then give Xiang Liang Zongjie's beloved iron fan.
Outside the residence, Xiao Ran saw Renard's figure again. He paused for a moment before walking over and asking, "What's wrong?"
Renard didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "You seem to be in a good mood. Did something interesting happen?"
"I was teasing Xiangliang Sosuke. That kid is quite fun. His serious look is quite interesting."
Xiao Ran's bad humor from time to time seemed to have not acted up for a long time. This time, it directly acted up on the honest Xiangliang Sosuke. It felt quite good.
Renard glanced at Xiao Ran, then turned his head and shook his head gently, "Uzzes and Kane are here. I came to ask if you've made the arrangements and when we'll start."
"Tonight." Xiao Ran's expression became serious, and he said, "Let's go. We need to explain the situation to them first. Right, there's one more thing you need to arrange. Apart from Chidori Yao, we need to send people to protect her friends, especially Xiangliang Sosuke. We can't let Chidori feel regret and want to change."
Renard was very calm, "I've already made the arrangements. At least for now, there won't be anything that can harm those students."
Suddenly, Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the sky. About ten kilometers away from where Xiao Ran was, the clear sky suddenly turned dark. The dark sky pressed down on the ground, and a black hole opened up in the sky. It was like a giant mouth that swallowed everything, stirring up the surroundings into chaos. Even Xiao Ran could vaguely hear fierce roars, as well as the terrified screams of people.
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at Renard. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth curled up. It was as if he was saying, "This slap in the face is so sudden, Renard, do you feel pain?"
Renard ignored him and frowned slightly. He felt like he had been slapped in the face as well. In short, he was still quite elegant, and his expression didn't change.
However, Xiao Ran still didn't let him go, "What did you prepare? Can you deal with this situation?"
Renard glanced sideways at Xiao Ran and said, "I thought you would seize the time to break into the other side of the hole and take a look."
Xiao Ran said, "You're thinking too much. We don't know what's going on on the other side, and we don't even know if we can freely enter and exit this tunnel. You want me to break in on the first try? Are you sure you're not joking?"
Boom ~ ~ ~
A loud explosion sounded above Xiao Ran's head. Several drones flew toward the hole that suddenly appeared in the sky, leaving long trails in the sky.
Renard took out a phone and ignored Xiao Ran. After dialing the number, he said, "Calm the students in the hotel and send people to Chidori's villa to protect them. Ignore the other places."
Xiao Ran curled his lips, "Tsk, not bad."
The drones quickly approached the huge hole, but they did not rush into the hole immediately. Instead, they flew around the hole quickly, recording all the first-person sightings from various angles and sending them to the army's fleet in the universe.
The UAVs were the first wave to be deployed, but not all of them. The second wave was even more exaggerated. Dozens of UAVs suddenly appeared from the center of Xiao Ran's villa area. Some were big, some were small, some were real, some were super, some were MS, and some were shapeshifting. Just like that, they burst into bursts of light and suddenly appeared, rushing into the sky and speeding towards the huge hole.
At that moment, the huge black hole began to ripple like water. The heads of monsters slowly appeared from the hole, followed by their bodies and finally their tails. Dimensional beasts fell from the hole one after another, and the drones took this opportunity to rush into the hole.
At that moment, Renard turned around and calmly said to Xiao Ran, "I just said that it's very safe here."
"Heh." Xiao Ran smiled, but then he frowned slightly and said, "On average, they appear every 15 days to half a month. It seems to be a little earlier this time? And it's such a coincidence that they appeared here? "
"Is it a coincidence, or is it because of this trip? Is it because of Chidori, or because of Sosuke Xiangliang?"
Xiao Ran frowned and looked at the place where the dimensional beasts appeared. At that moment, the drones had already entered the tunnel, and the tunnel was slowly becoming smaller. Xiao Ran had no way of knowing what was going on inside and on the other side of the tunnel. However, there were about a dozen dimensional beasts that appeared from the tunnel, and they were well received by the pilots arranged by Renard.
However, a dozen dimensional beasts were really not enough for dozens of participants. If it were not for the fact that the target of protection was behind them, and there were so many students and innocent civilians nearby, there would be no need for dozens of people to appear at the same time to face the dimensional beasts. These dimensional beasts were not high-level monsters. They only had high defense, HP, and damage output. With five people working together, they could easily wipe them out completely.
However, in order to prevent the scope of the battle from expanding, there were so many mechs that appeared to encircle and suppress the dimensional beasts. A few minutes before the battle began, most of the dozen dimensional beasts were eliminated. In the end, only three dimensional beasts were left. They were surrounded by dozens of mechs and pressed to the ground, unable to move.
At this moment, another purple light door appeared in the sky again. A huge battleship flew out from it, and then several mechs carrying special equipment flew out from the battleship. They quickly packed up the remaining three dimensional beasts and cooperated with the other mechs to collect the remains of the dead dimensional beasts. In less than ten minutes, all the mechs, including the dimensional beasts, disappeared.
Xiao Ran watched everything that happened and quickly walked into the villa in front of him. Renard held the communicator to his ear and followed behind Xiao Ran while talking.
Not long after, many people appeared in the villa where Xiao Ran lived. All the people who came with Xiao Ran appeared in the villa. At the same time, Uzzes and Kane, whom Renard mentioned just now, were also there.
Xiao Ran sat on the single sofa in the living room and looked at the group of people. Some were sitting and some were standing. Although the situation just now was just a small accident, at least it wasn't a big deal for everyone. However, the follow-up problems caused by the appearance of the dimensional beasts were worthy of everyone's attention.
"Yes, contact the Burning Legion."
Standing beside Xiao Ran, he nodded. He took out his communicator and placed it on the table in the middle of the living room. After pressing a few buttons, a virtual projection popped up. Soon, Mary's figure appeared in the projection.
After Mary's figure appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on the projection.
Xiao Ran didn't waste any time and asked directly, "What's the situation now?"
Mary's expression was also slightly serious, "The images taken by the drones have begun to be analyzed. It will take time to analyze the specific results. It's still hard to say if we can capture and analyze the signals on the other side. After the drones entered the passage, we lost contact with them, but they still sent some images in the end."
As Mary's words fell, another image suddenly appeared on the projection. A burst of intense light suddenly burst out in the dark and long passage, and then the screen went black.
This scene was very simple. There was nothing but a black passage and a ray of light. However, for most people who saw this scene, it revealed a lot of things.
Mary's figure reappeared, "This should be some kind of attack. After the drones entered the passage, they were attacked and destroyed. The positioning system carried by the drones was also completely destroyed, and they didn't have time to send out any useful information. But through this attack, we can be sure that at least the existence on the other side has a high degree of control over the passage they use to a certain extent. They can grasp the situation inside the passage."
"Based on our understanding of the warp tunnel, we can roughly come up with three possibilities. The first possibility is that the tunnel itself actually represents another dimension, or a crevice. Dimensional beasts live in such a dimensional crevice. We have experienced being stuck in a dimensional crevice before. It's also a world where we can move freely. Therefore, entering the tunnel is equivalent to entering the crevice. We will be discovered and attacked," said Li Yao.
"Secondly, this isn't a tunnel, but a gate. A normal jump tunnel would consist of two gates and one tunnel. The reason why the enemy was able to launch an attack in the tunnel might be because the tunnel itself is very short, or even there is no tunnel, allowing them to clearly see the situation inside the tunnel from the other end. That's why they launched an attack at the first moment."
"The third possibility is that the other party has a very high degree of control over the passage. Moreover, our drones have successfully entered, so it's very likely that this passage is indeed two-way. However, we can't rule out the possibility that if we enter from this side, we will be led to other places or even fall into a trap."
Mary shook her head. "These are only preliminary results of the analysis, and there is no strong data to prove any of them. It's also possible that these three guesses are all wrong, so we need more data to be sure."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "If there's not enough information, we can collect it in the future. Now, do we have a way to grasp the frequency of this spatial door and deduce the location where the door will appear in advance? No, not in advance. As long as we can grasp the moment the door appears and the spatial fluctuations appear, we can arrive immediately."
"That's hard to say." Mary said, "According to the information we have, we have never come into contact with the fluctuations produced by this spatial door. We need to hand it over to the technical department for confirmation, but we can detect the same fluctuations immediately the next time."
Xiao Ran stroked his chin. Mary still meant that there was not enough information. It was hard to say what the situation was now, but they could indeed detect abnormal fluctuations. However, this did not refer to the moment the door appeared. It did not refer to the signs, but the first time they could detect it.
This meant that if the fluctuations were large, perhaps even the door would be discovered when the signs appeared. If the fluctuations were small, perhaps even the dimensional beasts would only discover them after they came out of the door. It wasn't only because of the size of the fluctuations, but also because of the external conditions. After all, the fluctuations also fluctuated. Now, perhaps it was only recording the fluctuations over a certain period of time.
In short, the only information that the drones brought after entering the channel was that this channel could be entered and exited in both directions, but it was very dangerous to enter from this side. It was unclear if it was stable because they had been attacked from the beginning. Moreover, it was unclear if the attack was a coincidence or deliberate. Basically, no information could be detected.
Under such circumstances, it was even more impossible to investigate with personnel. They could only wait for the next time to use better equipment, which was the Gordim mecha that Xiao Ran had Luo build to investigate. After all, the main investigation direction of the drones was not in this area. To be honest, this was the first time they were conducting cross-border investigation. They had not considered this aspect too much in the past. It was already very advanced to be able to perform a fold jump within a single universe.
Moreover, the drone Renard used just now was only an improved version of the Gohst. It was a pure reconnaissance drone, not a more advanced combat reconnaissance drone. However, the more advanced combat reconnaissance drones were consumables to begin with. There was no need to be so extravagant and wasteful to install cross-dimensional equipment on these reconnaissance drones. In such a channel, the impact and restrictions would be very great. It was normal for movement to be inconvenient.
But through this, Luo should also know that the legion really needed a batch of special advanced reconnaissance drones. The Burning Legion had undergone a large-scale reform, but it was only aimed at the specifications of warships and conventional airframes. But now, so much time had passed, and so many new things, new worlds, and new people had joined. It was indeed beginning to gradually become chaotic again. It was almost time for another complete reorganization and reform within the legion.
