Chapter 820 552: Celebrated Too Soon
Their goal was clear: to drive the Yang Family Ship into Bermuda, and then they just left.
Only then did everyone realize that perhaps many of the ships that disappeared in Bermuda before were largely due to this situation.
But as for the reason behind plane crashes in the sky, no one could figure it out.
At this moment, the Yang Family Ship disappeared over the horizon, drawn into the churning waves of Bermuda like a leaf boat into a whirlpool, quickly sinking below.
Everyone watching showed a look of despair, losing all hope.
No matter how powerful a ship, entering this place felt like descending into an abyss, entirely without resistance.
The crowd could even see countless fragments of steel rising and falling amidst the swirling vortex, presumably remnants of ships that had met their fate here before.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Yang Family Ship did not disintegrate, though many of its onboard goods detached due to immense pressure, ultimately falling into the sea, the ship itself remained intact.
Under the control of the space-time travel ability from the scroll, the audience in the gymnasium followed into the vortex but were not affected by it; they passed right through, witnessing once again the might of Xia Liang's magic in space-time travel.
Upon entering the vortex, their view turned into a gray, misty world, devoid of seawater, and filled with countless floating objects.
There were planes, there were ships.
The countless spectators saw this scene and erupted into excited shouts.
Meanwhile, the Yang Family Ship continued forward, eventually traversing close to fifty meters before suddenly disappearing from view. When the crowd also left the gray world, they abruptly found themselves facing a continent.
This was an industrial city, with factories around and chimneys spewing thick smoke, ancient European-style castle towers everywhere, with the Yang Family Ship suspended on a high building as if it had fallen from the sky, while airships flew overhead and steam-driven trains ran on the ground.
Everyone witnessing this showed a look of astonishment.
"Is this the medieval Europe already? Damn, that vortex actually has space-time travel ability too."
"We traveled again, this time with the Yang Family Ship."
"Phew! Fortunately, the Yang Family Ship emerged; although it appeared to return to the past, it's good that nothing went wrong."
"Exactly, not getting lost in the vortex is lucky enough."
"The people on the Yang Family Ship are still alive, that's great."
At this moment, Xia Liang gently raised her right hand, leaving the scroll, and the image before everyone faded away.
Yang Chao, seated in the audience, was completely immersed in it. When the image disappeared, he wanted to grasp something, but it vanished like a mirage.
After a while, he sighed softly.
"As long as I see they're okay, I can be at ease."
Just then, he suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression changing slightly, as he recalled there was an ancient family in Europe called Yang.
This family also engaged in maritime trade and was the largest shipbuilding group in Europe. Could it be that this family was founded by his relatives long ago?
Thinking of this, tears welled up in his eyes, as though he had found hope in life.
Meanwhile, Xia Liang looked at the audience below, and with a smile, said.
"Alright, the third space-time travel has ended. Many of you should have seen something in it; the Yang Family's fateful cycle could be neither good nor bad, but they are alive, which is the best ending."
As soon as Xia Liang finished speaking, the audience below burst into enthusiastic applause.
Numerous people began clapping, deeply moved by the previous scene.
"Next, let's proceed with the fourth space-time travel draw; this one will be the last, as the remaining one, I want to give to just one person. Alright, let's see who will be the lucky audience member."
As soon as Xia Liang spoke, the large screen behind her started rolling numbers, immediately capturing the attention of countless eyes. Moments later, the numbers stopped, finally settling at number 1675.
Immediately, a young man in his twenties stood up excitedly, waving his arms and shouting.
"It's me, hahaha, it's me, I'm going to become rich, I'm going to become successful."
Everyone looked at the young man with envy. Undoubtedly, because of Xia Liang's words, what was originally the second-to-last slot had become the last one; missing it would mean never having such an opportunity again in this lifetime.
And that young man was ordinarily just a poor streamer, spending all day immersed in live broadcasts, his favorite was interacting with female anchors, and he used all his salary to tip them.
When the last female anchor could no longer extract any money from him, she turned to others and deleted this person's contact information completely.
The young man deeply regretted this, but now he was utterly impoverished, his family burdened with debts he had deceptively incurred.
With this slot, not only could he instantly repay all his debts, but he could also become a wealthy man, such an event would imbalance anyone's mentality.
Next, the young man excitedly danced and jumped down from the stands, exclaiming to everyone he met.
"I'm rich, I'm going to become a magnate, hahaha."
Strangely, after being happy for less than two minutes, his face began to subtly change, and then his body started convulsing, eventually collapsing to the ground.
Those around him all changed their expressions and rushed to check on him. Just as everyone was uncertain, the young man suddenly jumped up again, becoming even more frenzied, sometimes cursing, sometimes hitting others, and started talking nonsense.
On stage, Xia Liang didn't expect such an eerie situation to arise. With a raised brow, she helplessly asked.
"Are there any doctor friends present? Could you come up to check on this patient?"
Indeed, there were several doctors present, but they didn't dare to stand up recklessly without Xia Liang's permission, worried that the great magician might be displeased.
Upon hearing Xia Liang speak up, several people immediately stood and approached the young man who seemed somewhat mad.
A few doctors crouched beside him, conducting an examination.
Minutes later, the examination concluded, and after a brief whispered discussion, one of them looked at Xia Liang and said.
"God Xia, this young man has gone mad."
