Chapter 124 – The other side of the crack
Wangshan Town, or the original location of Wangshan Town.
The entire town disappeared.
Even among all the crises that Sky Eye has dealt with in the past, this should be considered one of the most severe situations.
The entire area was immediately sealed off, and a temporary wall was erected, tightly enclosing the camp. The agents stood guard like lonely hunters, vigilant of any movement.
Commissioner Ya was the first Sequence B commissioner to arrive at the scene, and he is currently in charge of the temporary camp. He walked quickly through a series of sentries and went straight to the busy experts.
"Professor Fang."
The professor in a white coat turned his head at the sound and made a gesture for him to wait. After dealing with the affairs of at least three researchers, he quickly walked to Commissioner Ya.
"Sorry, things are quite tense right now. We have never experienced such a situation before, it's a first."
"I heard that people from the Alliance have come?"
"Yes, two young men came to understand the situation. They are very nice and enthusiastic, although one of them talks a lot."
Professor Fang took off his glasses and rubbed his nose. After all, he is not an Extraordinary Being and he is not young anymore. The intense work for twenty-four hours straight has started to make his body feel tired.
"Do you have any progress?"
"It can be considered progress, but it's hard to say it's a specific achievement. Why don't I show it to you directly?"
Commissioner Ya followed Professor Fang out of the camp. The soldiers by the blockade line saluted them in a standard manner.
Outside the blockade line, there was a large empty space in the center of the camp. In fact, that was supposed to be the location of a town, but all the buildings and every living person inside disappeared into thin air.
Even the traces that should have been left on the ground were nowhere to be found. Instead of saying that they were destroyed or eliminated, it was more like they were directly erased by some supreme power, as if the entire Wangshan Town had never existed.
"For the first half of the day, we made no progress at all until I introduced some new technologies developed after the Star Stream Stone incident. And then, we found these."
Professor Fang handed a device with a black handle to Commissioner Ya. It resembled a stun gun and had an electronic display. Green and red bands alternated on the screen.
"What is this?" Commissioner Ya asked.
"It's a new indicator summarized from the readings collected during the interaction with the Star Stream Stone. It measures some special radiation values used to reflect spatial fluctuations."
"Is the current fluctuation response normal?"
Professor Fang took the device from his hand. "Not quite normal. This value likely reflects the existence of spatial anomalies in the area we are facing, but it behaves completely differently from the reading characteristics during the activation of the Star Stream Stone.
The data is weaker and the behavior is much milder. Currently, we can only speculate that we are facing some kind of containment object that is completely different from the Star Stream Stone but still possesses spatial properties.
If I were to make some non-written guesses, I think perhaps Wangshan Town did not disappear, but was sent to another dimension."
Commissioner Ya's expression changed. "Then maybe we can bring them back?"
"I said it's just a guess, you can treat it as an old man's guess based on experience." Professor Fang sighed, "But even if that's the case, we may not have the ability to bring them back, or even be optimistic about whether they are alive or dead."
Both of them had worried expressions, and at this moment, a voice sounded in the sky.
"Maybe I can help."
Professor Fang said wearily, "Thanks, but I don't think anyone can do anything in this situation. Perhaps only God."
Then he swallowed the second half of his sentence when he saw a certain red cloak floating above his head.
"Oh, it's you." Professor Fang changed his tone directly.
That's fine.
Jiang Bei landed beside the two of them. "The fluctuation readings are ahead?"
"Yes, weak abnormal readings, indicating spatial anomalies. But we can't find out what containment object is causing the anomaly." Professor Fang said.
Jiang Bei nodded and crossed the blockade line, taking steps towards the center of the empty space.
Professor Fang couldn't understand what he was going to do and couldn't help but say, "I have already applied to headquarters to use the Star Stream Stone recovered from the recent Shadow Demon incident. Maybe it will have some effect. Before that, we can only wait."
"Don't worry, I'm just trying something."
Jiang Bei walked forward and stopped in an open area.
Then he punched the empty air in front of him.
The air pressure changed, as if a hurricane swept through the entire camp area. It was followed by an explosive sound as if the air had been detonated, and transparent ripples spread out.
Everyone around stared in astonishment as a small fist-sized pit appeared in the previously empty air. There were even cracks spreading around, like a mirror shattered by a punch.
Professor Fang: (°ー°〃)
Then everyone silently watched as Jiang Bei reached into the cracked gap with both hands, exerted force, and directly opened a gap big enough for a person to pass through with a rumbling sound.
Professor Fang remained silent until he watched the figure in the red cloak disappear into the gap.
Then he continued, ".Well, maybe something like this works too."

On the other side of the passage, in the subspace domain, somewhere.
A human-shaped shadow moved through the ruined palace and arrived at the end of a dilapidated hall.
It was a figure resembling a human girl. She was petite, with fair skin and delicate features, but her face was cold and frosty.
She held an old lantern in her hand, made of some dark yellow metal. It was well-crafted but covered in filth and dust, as if it hadn't been used for many years.
She placed the lantern flat on the stone table and lightly tapped the top with her fingertips.
After a moment, a faint light appeared in the dim core of the lantern. Then a black mist spewed out, forming a face-like shape in mid-air.An abstract face with indistinct features, yet it could speak.
"Hmm, it feels like it's been quite a while since I last came out. How many years have I slept?"
"I don't know." The girl shook her head expressionlessly.
"Really, nothing happened?"
The face, formed from black mist, yawned long and languidly.
"There's a problem."
The girl spoke awkwardly. Her tongue was not very nimble, as if she hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time.
"Oh, you should know the rules." The face in the black mist said lazily, "Every question has its price. So, what surprise have you prepared for me?"
The girl extended her fair right hand, her slender fingers spread out, and a crystal lay flat in her palm.
Without a word, the face turned into a cloud of black mist and rushed up, directly rolling away the crystal from her hand. The mist then churned in an undefined form for a moment, seemingly leisurely digesting the contents, before finally returning to its face form.
The face was still abstract and vague, but it seemed to reveal a satisfied smile.
"A power crystal. Mediocre. So, what do you want to ask?"
"Someone has come in." The girl said dryly, "What should I do?"
The voice of the face in the black mist instantly dropped several degrees.
"An intruder. Is it a human?"
It snorted lightly.
"That's simple. No matter who comes in, you just need to annihilate them all. Leave no survivors."
