Chapter 104: Strangeness (3)
Not long ago, the entrance to Dreamland had been steeped in eerie silence.
Now, it brimmed with the tense atmosphere of a military operation just beginning.
Filling the gateway were the soldiers of Paradigm Directive, the new company founded by Dominic Krilov after breaking off from Titan Tech.
This was the first official operation being conducted under the Paradigm Directive name.
Perhaps because of that, the soldiers’ faces bore a mixture of solemn duty and subtle excitement.
Dominic stood at the Dreamland gate, scanning through a report projected on his AR interface.
<Dreamland Investigation Report – Paradigm Directive Special Task Force>
<Field Analysis: Target area outwardly appears to be an ordinary amusement park, but is presumed to be completely isolated both physically and network-wise. Observation of the interior from outside is impossible.>
<Methodology: All available means—laser, radio waves, sound frequencies—were used, but failed to yield meaningful data. All signals are either absorbed or reflected at the boundary.>
<Drone Deployment 1: Attempted wireless drone entry, but signal was lost the moment it crossed the threshold. Unit unrecoverable.>
<Drone Deployment 2: Wired drone successfully ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) captured internal footage. Recorded video shows: a sky filled with gray aurora, countless floating eyeballs drifting aimlessly, and holographic photos scattered across the ground depicting grotesque scenes.>
<Hazards: Once spotted by eyeball-like unknown entities, all drone signals were cut. The operator controlling the drone simultaneously transformed into a holographic photo.>
