But when Murdoch's hand touched that bubble...

His figure suddenly disappeared before Gu Xinghe and the others.

It felt like you were directly entering the scene space contained within this small bubble.

Upon witnessing this scene, Gu Xinghe felt that it resembled his past experiences.

While investigating the insect infestation in the small town of Wheatfield, they were about to enter the last insect nest house.

His experience was when he entered the house and was transported to the scene space of the wheat field town many years ago.

In fact, it's the same scene as when Murdoch touched the bubble and disappeared before their eyes.

At that moment, after Murdoch's figure disappeared.

Gu Xinghe was trying to sense the tiny bubbles floating in the air and the space behind them.

But I did feel a subtle sense of stagnation, which was quite rare.

This space, which does not exist in reality, did not completely block his spiritual power from entering.

However, this separation does not exist in the same space and dimension.

However, this also made it difficult for him to explore the spatial state behind these bubbles.

However, judging from the information transmitted back in general, Gu Xinghe could sense that—

These bubbles, which embody the significance of each small space, are meant to convey meaning.

It seems to be somewhat similar to the tests that need to be passed before one can inherit a certain legacy.

Touching the bubble will teleport you into the scene space inside.

After passing one of the "tests," the candidate will be able to obtain the treasure left behind by Atlantis.

This is roughly the significance of the island where Gu Xinghe and the others are currently located.

At that moment, Gu Xinghe extended one of his tentacles.

I tried touching the huge bubble that enveloped the island, as well as the membrane of the countless tiny bubbles in front of me.

It is naturally different from ordinary bubbles that burst when gently poked.

They felt much firmer to the touch than he had imagined, and even had a certain elasticity.

Looking at the bubbles surrounding him and the illusory space within them, Gu Xinghe realized that the Atlanteans seemed to have a great deal of knowledge about space.

This series of investigations, which seemed to have taken a long time, actually happened in the blink of an eye.

But then they saw that Murdoch had already entered the bubble space.

Alice remained motionless, seemingly having no intention of seizing the treasure left behind by Atlantis.

Gu Xinghe couldn't help but look at her.

"Alice?"

When Gu Xinghe asked her question, Alice simply shook her head.

"It's okay, Murdoch will die anyway."

Seemingly sensing that Gu Xinghe was standing up for her, Alice simply smiled gently at him.

He hoped that Gu Xinghe wouldn't worry about him, but he didn't directly answer the question that Gu Xinghe really wanted to ask.

Moreover, Alice's focus at this moment was entirely on Gu Xinghe's feelings.

It's not about Murdoch's inevitable death.

Having read Alice's innermost thoughts and understood her feelings at that moment, Gu Xinghe knew—

In his previous life, Murdoch failed the test in the bubble space he entered and ultimately died.

This incident seems to be the reason why, although Alice dislikes Murdoch, she doesn't hate him excessively.

After all, in Murdoch's previous accounts, he did many things to the people of the shrine island that would be considered unforgivable by ordinary people.

But Alice was already ostracized by the others on the sacrificial island.

Alice didn't want to care too much about the miserable fates of the others.

Moreover, Alice has never liked to expend too much of her emotions on unrelated people.

Because in her understanding, based on Alice's memories from her previous life—

Murdoch was just a man destined to die.

But at this moment, Gu Xinghe also learned that in his previous life, Alice had not actually entered the bubble space, just like she had now.

The reason why Alice didn't want to participate in this "test".

It wasn't that she was afraid of death, or that she didn't want the treasure left behind by Atlantis.

She simply didn't want to leave Gu Xinghe's side.

This might be because of what Alice did when she met Gu Xinghe in her previous life.

The damage he suffered in his previous life due to a spatial teleportation error was far more severe than in this life.

He was on the verge of death at that time, as if he would breathe his last in the next second.

Having read her current thoughts, Gu Xinghe knew—

In her past life, Alice had actually allowed herself to gnaw on her arm back then.

The abundant life energy in the mermaid flesh also saved his life, which was as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind.

So, this might also be the time when Gu Xinghe and Alice first met in this life.

Alice then asked Gu Xinghe why he wanted to eat her.

In fact, in this lifetime.

Gu Xinghe is now able to recover so quickly from the attacks of the Goddess of Thorns and the physical damage caused by the teleportation error.

He thought this was probably related to the time before he lost consciousness in the deep sea.

The scene that was seen was related to Theresa and Field and others praying for him.

Although he was already in a coma at that time.

But he clearly felt the warm power that soothed his physical injuries at that time.
