"Chestnut, Shakina, Sona, Little Bubble, Bubble … Those who aren't adept at combat, stay outside. Uncle Kenser and Elson, please help take care of them. Also, Liliana, you stay behind as well — don't pout, no matter how small the team is, there needs to be someone who can heal you. What if something happens?" Since the road ahead was unknown, I decided to be careful. Thus, I decided on the people who needed to stay behind in a safe place. I also asked the two Protoss who were strong and adept at defense, as well as Liliana who could provide support, to temporarily stay behind as bodyguards (Actually, the most important reason was that I was worried that Liliana would cause trouble if I brought her along). "Everyone else, get ready to come in."
In the end, right after I assigned the tasks, Little Bubble jumped out. She stuck herself onto my body and hugged my neck, refusing to let go. She mumbled a bunch of words in an instant, and the expression on her face was exceptionally anxious — Unfortunately, I didn't understand what she was saying, other than calling her father, I could understand her.
"She said that she wants to follow us. She wants to look for her kite sister." Bubble looked at me helplessly before jumping up and down in an attempt to pull her daughter off my neck. However, everyone knew that this "child's mother" was only 1.1 meters tall, and Little Bubble's strength wasn't any weaker than hers. Thus, in the end, the two identical lolis hung on my body like a skewer of candied fruits. Little Bubble hugged her father's neck, while Bubble grabbed onto her daughter's calf. The two of them swung around in midair.
"Be good and listen to me. Wait outside with everyone." I spent a lot of effort to remove Little Bubble, who was like an octopus, from my body. The little lass reluctantly allowed herself to be hugged by Bubble. At this moment, she could still understand what I meant. Looking at her father's firm attitude, the usually obedient Little Bubble could only mutter a few words with a sullen face. Finally, she obediently nodded her head.
Bubble hugged her daughter, who was about the same age as her. She looked at me with a strange expression on her face, like a newlywed who was bidding farewell to her husband. "Don't worry, father. I'll take good care of our child for you …"
If it wasn't for the fact that I really don't have the time right now, I really want to beat this girl up first!
When we entered the assembly hall, Lin was still the one leading the way. This abnormally strong girl who used a shield as her only weapon was naturally a tank. As a Dragon God, she was naturally immune to magic, and her physical body was incredibly strong. Apart from the fact that she couldn't use Holy Light, which made her weaker than the Light Faction's Guardians, Lin had always been the unshakable second tank in Jingle's team. Since Elson, the excellent meat shield, was left outside, Lin was naturally the vanguard. Icetis, who was skilled at breaking through defenses with brute force, Monina, who was skilled at quick assaults, and Shallow Shallow, who had limitless reflexes, followed behind Lin. This was to ensure that the entire team would have the upper hand in all situations and be immune to ambushes. Everyone else followed in the middle, with Big Sister and I holding the line. This was something that had been taken into consideration. Big Sister's Misfortune Reversal Aura could be considered to be a super shield that possessed both invincibility and 100% damage reflection. If there was an ambush in the hall from the back, it wouldn't matter even if we couldn't react in time — the enemy would most likely die in the first round. It could be said that Shallow Shallow, who always had the upper hand, and Big Sister, who was always immune to ambushes, standing at the front and the back was equivalent to adding invincibility to the entire team. And the reason why I was holding the line with Big Sister was because Big Sister felt that I was a hindrance when I was squeezed together with her.
Obviously, even if Lin Xue was a sharp-tongued tsundere, under normal circumstances, she wouldn't put such a ridiculous reason on the table. So, when she chased me to the back of the team, I knew that this prophet lady must have started to fine-tune the direction of the future. Thus, even though I grumbled a little, I still obediently moved to the back of the team.
A group of leaders entering an ancient building that had been abandoned for many years, and Lin had previously confirmed that there were no enemies in the hall. This might seem like making a mountain out of a molehill, but it was necessary. We might be entering the highest military center of a Heaven Zone of the old Empire. If a battle were to break out here, we would have to face the highest power of the 15th Heaven Zone of the old Empire, other than the Emperor and the military commanders. Thinking about the 300 commanders in the City of Shadows' headquarters, it would be equivalent to facing dozens of Pandora. Facing such a possible threat, it was necessary to be cautious.
"Right now, there is only a thick fog in front of us, and we can only vaguely see that there is a tube-shaped tunnel around us," Big Sister frowned as she looked around. We had already passed through the entrance and advanced a few hundred meters. This distance had already exceeded the size of the assembly hall from the outside. "Lin, you didn't mention that there was such a long tunnel here, right?"
In the thick fog, the figures of the people in front of us could only be vaguely seen. Fortunately, the people present had other methods of perception other than the naked eye. I used my spirit scan to confirm that everyone's condition was normal. I wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but the environment here gave me a … sense of separation. With every step forward, it was as if I was getting further away from the real world that I was familiar with. But when I focused on sensing the surroundings, this feeling disappeared. I shook my head, throwing this illusion to the back of my mind.
The Dragon God girl's voice was delayed for a few seconds before it came from not far in front of us, "At that time, I rushed in headfirst, and it seemed like I didn't see the surrounding environment … After that, when I ran out, I only cared about running forward."
"Ah Jun, I think it's a little strange," Big Sister suddenly touched my arm and said in a low voice. My elder sister suddenly touched my arm and whispered, "My Misfortune Reversal Aura has been operating at a low level. It seems like there is something in the surroundings, but I don't feel any attacks being reflected."
"Low level activity?" I had some understanding of Big Sister's power. "Hostile targets? In the thick fog? "
"No, it's not hostile, but the surrounding space may have adverse effects on us. Be careful."
As Big Sister spoke, she strengthened her power. Thus, the few people closest to us couldn't help but quicken their steps, distancing themselves from us. The feeling of the cold wind blowing on our backs definitely wasn't good …
Big Sister's Reversal Aura of Misfortune was a very enviable passive skill. It would react to any external threat in a way that would not miss. Any external interference that could cause the protected person within the aura to suffer "misfortune" (that is, the protected person didn't want to suffer, or the protected person was affected by injuries) would be reversed. For example, if you fired at a target within the aura, and the target being shot was, of course, a type of misfortune. Then, the bullet that you fired would be reversed. It might encounter a Nokia, it might encounter Sicarro's face, or even suddenly encounter a small wormhole. In any case, it would eventually change direction and fly towards the shooter. As long as there was a possibility of changing the trajectory of the bullet in the multiverse, even if this possibility only existed in theory and the probability of it happening in reality was zero, it would still happen under the influence of Big Sister's power, and the attacker would suffer the consequences of his actions. This was the Reversal Aura of Misfortune that was known to distort reality. Of course, this kind of reversal had an upper limit, and it would continuously consume Big Sister's spiritual power. Moreover, if there was no "possibility of error" in the attribute of the attack, it would also have great resistance to the reversal. However, with Big Sister's current power, the threat that could penetrate this layer of aura would at least reach the level of a leader-class apostle or a high-level God. This kind of reversal didn't require Big Sister to personally participate in it. It was equivalent to the highest level of AI judgment without blind spots. Many times, Big Sister would use it as a radar in dangerous areas, just like how Sandora's Soul Reaper Aura was used. Right now, this aura was showing a slight inclination towards the surrounding space, but it didn't launch a counterattack. I reminded everyone through our spiritual connection to increase their vigilance, and I received a reply from Sandora. "Don't worry, it might be a problem with spatial distortion. I don't feel any mental activity in the surroundings, at least the enemy doesn't exist."
After advancing for more than a hundred meters, this seemingly endless light fog suddenly disappeared. I found myself standing in a vast space. When I turned my head to look behind me, I couldn't see the so-called light fog at all. There was only a long broken pontoon floating in the chaotic darkness. At the end of the pontoon was an entrance that was emitting white light. It was the passage that I came from.
Big Sister stood beside me, and there was no one else in sight.
In front of me was a strange and dazzling space. I couldn't see the sky or the ground, only a distorted, dark "sky" with deep blue and purple colors shrouded my vision. Those deep blue and purple stripes under the pure black background moved irregularly, tangling, fusing, and then separating, as if there was a layer of oil floating in black ink. Under this strange sky, there were countless floating platforms and giant rocks. Those floating platforms had streamlined outlines, and most of them were shaped like waning moons. At the very least, this made me believe that they were the creations of the old Empire's mystical side. In between these floating platforms and giant rocks, there were broken steps or long corridors. The crisscrossed broken steps floated in the air, twisting, winding, and overlapping with each other. It was like a chaotic ball of string, connecting all the floating platforms and the like. After observing this messy structure for a long time, I finally concluded that these floating platforms and stairs were spiraling upwards. They intertwined with each other, spiraled, and extended to a place where the naked eye couldn't see.
"Paleness" was the main color of these spaces. In the entire space, only the distorted chaotic sky had a bright color. The other things, such as the platform in the air and the broken stairs, were made of a white material that was between metal and stone. The monotonous color made people feel annoyed when they saw it. What we were standing on was actually just one of the floating platforms, just that it was a slightly larger one.
"Where did everyone go?" Big Sister looked around blankly. In this huge and strange chaotic space, there was only the two of us. It was as if the rest of the group had evaporated, and it made me feel uneasy.
"The mental connection hasn't been broken." I gathered my spiritual power. "It's alright, nothing happened. Sandora, where are you guys? "
"Ah Jun, where did you guys go?" Sandora's voice sounded almost at the same time as mine. Then, we both paused at the same time, and spoke in unison, "You go first — Forget it, I'll go first …"
"Stop before you go too far!" Icetis's frantic voice finally cut in (Actually, I was still curious why the female pervert only spoke at this time), "I'll speak first — — Where did you guys go? Chen, I only have that clown wife of yours and that idiotic Dragon God by my side. Your wife is writing 'I came here' on every rock nearby. That idiotic Dragon God almost smashed the platform we were standing on. Where did everyone else go? Can there be two less troublesome people who can replace these two clowns? "
"Brother, I'm with idiot sister." Visca's voice followed closely behind, "Sister Lin Xue is also here. Idiot sister wanted to blow up the nearby platforms to see if there were any enemies, but she was stopped by Lin Xue sister! She's an idiot, right? "
"Let me say something, Visca was talking to you while holding two cannons." Miss Lin sold out Visca quietly.
"Looks like everyone has been separated." The elder sister's voice also appeared in the public channel, "And it's at random. Behind you, can you see … Hmm, can you see a floating bridge that leads to the exit? "
Everyone gave an affirmative answer. The big sister nodded and revealed a look of understanding. "In other words, until the passage in the fog of light, everyone was still together. After leaving the fog of light, everyone was separated to different exits. But I don't know if we are still in the same space. If it's just different exits, then it's fine. If there are a few parallel spaces here, then it's troublesome. "
"The positioning function of the mental connection seems to be interfered with. There's no way to directly teleport to the other groups." Sandora's tone sounded a little gloomy. "But as long as we can meet another group here, we can confirm if everyone has been separated to different parallel spaces."
"Wait! There's a problem! " Icetis's voice sounded again. "Chen, I have a request. Since it's a random group, can we go out first and then come in again? Can't we be randomly divided again? Your wife is already leading that idiot dragon to carve their family portrait on the stairs nearby! Also, the two of them have been trying to pull me in since the beginning! "
It seemed that even a weirdo like Icetis couldn't calmly face Shallow Shallow's whimsical ideas and her actions of dragging everyone along with her. After all, Sister Bing was just a female hooligan. Even though she had a weird personality, she wasn't as crazy as Shallow Shallow. If she were to be dragged along to carve a portrait on the ground for half an hour — — it would definitely become her dark history. However, facing Icetis's unreasonable request, I rejected immediately, "How can we be randomly arranged? We will be weakened if we leave the group."
"I feel that Ah Jun has been playing games with Bubble too much recently." The elder sister glanced at me subtly.
"Everyone can see that all the stairs and corridors are spiraling upwards, right?" Sandora said through the mental connection. After getting everyone's affirmation, she made a decision. "Alright, it seems like our surroundings are the same. Then, everyone should head to the top. The structure of this space is sealed and limited. These suspended platforms have a final roof. Everyone should meet up there. If you can't meet up, then return to the entrance and enter again after you find the way to control this facility. Also, it's best not to use teleportation or other special abilities to prevent any accidents. The facilities built by the Empire usually have backup mechanisms that can be activated even if the energy supply is interrupted. "" Understood, understood.
"Yes, yes — Chen, your wife tricked Lin into jumping off the platform — oh, she jumped off too. Forget it, I admit defeat. Just wait, my group might arrive later. I'll go down and see what they're up to. Qian Qian might have seen something."
Icetis was the first to hang up the communication. After that, everyone indicated that their group had already headed up and left the public channel. Sandora told me in the private channel to keep in touch and to be careful on the way. In the end, it was just me and the elder sister staring at each other.
"Shallow shallow, that lass …" The elder sister shook her head helplessly and sighed. "Let's go. It seems like we still have a long way to go."
That's right, there was still a long way to go. This strange space was incomprehensible. Because we weren't sure if there were any corresponding restrictive facilities around, we didn't dare to use the most convenient teleportation method. We didn't even dare to fly in the air, which would cause energy fluctuations, if possible. Thus, we could only use the conventional method to move forward. Although our speed wouldn't be too slow due to our physical fitness, looking at the endless winding corridors and suspended platforms, it would definitely be a long way to go.
My elder sister and I walked on a slightly slanted flight of stairs with each step loosely separated from each other. Along the way, we would encounter a completely collapsed section of the stairs, so we simply jumped over it. After walking for a while, I sighed, "Elder sister, do I look like Tarzan of the Apes?"
The elder sister used a speed that wasn't any slower than mine to jump gracefully beside me. She casually punched me. "You're so naughty. Elder sister is still following you."
I chuckled foolishly and continued to move forward with my head lowered. Speaking of which, the elder sister was wearing a mid-length dress today. Although the design was simple, the aura she gave off was different when she wore it. She looked like she was dancing as she moved along the broken staircase. But why did I always feel like I was Tarzan?
"Do you think there's a bottom to this space?" I lowered my head to take a look. Through the cracks on the staircase, I could see that there were also endless broken staircases and platforms floating in the chaotic and distorted space. Even if I pushed my eyesight to the limit, I still couldn't see the end of these floating fragments. Although, theoretically, there should be an end.
"I think I know why Shallow shallow wanted to jump down." The elder sister couldn't help but slap her forehead. "Sometimes, your thoughts are really synchronized."
I was speechless. Damn, this doesn't seem like a good thing, right?!
"Wait!" After moving forward for a while, I didn't know how many half-moon platforms and suspended staircases we had passed, I suddenly stopped and exclaimed loudly.
The elder sister stopped in front of me and looked at me curiously. "What's wrong?"
"Something big happened." My heart hurriedly touched the pocket in front of my chest. "Jingle is gone!"
