Chapter 544: The Big One is Coming (Really Big)

After listening to what Little Bear said, Yu Sheng quickly recovered from his initial shock and guessed what it was.

This is a diary left by the blonde Irene!

Now, the plush bear was still standing on the other side of the rift. Its plastic eyes were like two endlessly dark deep holes, staring calmly into Yu Sheng's eyes. A voice that sounded very similar to Irene's, but mechanical and flat, continued to come slowly:

"...My mission is to cross the border and observe the opening of the world rift from within Angel Zero. Depending on the circumstances, I will respond to the Outer God codenamed 'Omen'—either to welcome him or to destroy him. Due to information security isolation regulations, this mission will leave no trace on the Garden Network. If the mission ultimately fails, most of my information will also be erased...

"What is certain now is that the World Rift has lost control. The connecting device known as the 'Bridge' collided with &@#* during its entry into this universe. The 'Evil Omen' was severely damaged during its descent, causing its divinity to overflow uncontrollably and triggering a continuous backflow of pollution.

"The situation is irreversible. Cutting off the remaining connections of the boundary bridge and stopping the spread of pollution are now the top priorities. If all goes well, perhaps Angel Zero can still be saved.

"...As of this log entry, I have successfully intercepted the main body of the 'Evil Omen' and have crashed with it onto the 'Node Star' of the Boundary Bridge. From my perspective, I can confirm that the other end of the Node Star has successfully severed its connection with the observable universe. The only thing left to do is to render the 'Evil Omen' harmless.

"He... agreed to my fusion proposal and chose to voluntarily give up most of his consciousness, hoping only that I could retain a special set of data in his memory.

"The size of that data was staggering, but harmless—I couldn't fathom what it was, but it was clearly of extraordinary significance to Him.

“To ensure the integration went smoothly, we made the deal.

"The fusion process is irreversible. The time of my next awakening is unpredictable. The results of the fusion and my future existence are also difficult to predict. Perhaps the next time I open my eyes will be tomorrow, or perhaps after countless years, I will be awakened by the final flash of light at the end of the world. Or perhaps... that day will be neither too early nor too late, but a very good one.

“I look forward to facing the future with a new attitude and perspective.

"The above is Irene's last action log."

The little bear sat down in the dark, staring at Yu Sheng through the crack. His furry face looked a little... funny.

Yu Sheng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say - after all, what he saw in front of him was just a diary left a long time ago.

And at this moment, the little bear suddenly moved again.

Under Yu Sheng's astonished gaze, it slowly shook its body a few times on the spot, and then pressed its belly with its furry claws. With a slight tearing sound, a hole was torn in the doll's belly, and some sticky, mud-like shadow flowed out of the crack!

Yu Sheng was startled on the spot and took half a step back with a "Fuck". He saw that the sticky shadows overflowing from the little bear's belly actually overflowed from the cracks and flowed towards him like a living thing. For some reason, this scene reminded him of the scene when he first created the body for Irene.

It was the same then, as dark matter overflowed from the bottom edge of the frame, flowing onto the table like a living thing and seeping into the newly formed body of the doll.

And in this moment of distraction, the sticky shadows that spread everywhere had already closed in around him. Yu Sheng's heart suddenly moved, and he subconsciously looked up -

The little bear in the crack raised its head towards him, and a smile seemed to appear on its furry face: "Hello, I am a bad omen."

…

"The spatial erosion subsides! The spatial erosion subsides!"

Shouts were heard in the corridor, accompanied by low roars from all directions and continuous vibrations under his feet. Song Cheng, who was commanding the operators and deep-sea divers to desperately resist the endless stream of "shadow invaders", looked up and looked forward, and immediately noticed the changes in the corridor.

Those large and small, crisscrossing spatial cracks are rapidly closing and disappearing. The corridors that have appeared in a strange "expanded" shape due to the superposition of time and space are also rapidly returning to their original appearance. No new sticky shadows are emerging from the cracks, and the sounds of gunfire from all directions are gradually subsiding.

The spatial structure of the entire customs floor is rapidly recovering its stability, and the familiar building structure and scenes inside the building are returning to view.

Song Cheng looked back and met a pair of light gray eyes.

"The rifts seem to have closed, Director," Song Cheng said uncertainly, "Did Yu Sheng succeed?"

Baili Qing still had a stern face. Although the scene in the corridor quickly restored her condition made her seem to relax a little, her aura did not relax at all.

"The rift is indeed closing... but Yu Sheng hasn't sent back any news," Baili Qing said slowly, her tone a little serious. "Under normal circumstances, he would definitely contact me as soon as he got things done, and..."

Song Cheng looked puzzled: "And?"

Baili Qing hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "Besides, when he gets involved in something, it always ends up causing a big commotion, especially this time... It seems a little too quiet."

When Song Cheng heard this, he subconsciously looked around again, but he only saw the corridor quickly restoring order and the soldiers waiting for further orders. He thought to himself, isn't it a good thing that things can be settled so smoothly? But he swallowed the words back as they came to his lips, because just a brief recall of Yu Sheng's "deeds" made him feel that the director's judgment seemed to make sense.

But no matter what, the "invasion" in the Secret Service building has indeed stopped. In the absence of any new anomalies, Song Cheng began to arrange for the soldiers to carry out post-war cleanup work, and at the same time arranged personnel to... "take over" the Black Spot Group soldiers stranded on the customs floor.

Under the supervision of fully armed Secret Service agents and deep divers, these "illegally entered" Algraders were separated and began to honestly hand in their weapons and accept registration.

Of course, considering that they had just fought side by side, the Secret Service would not make things difficult for them. However, disarmament was a necessary procedure, as was the subsequent temporary detention.

How this matter will end will depend on the final results of the negotiations and discussions with the upper echelons.

Baili Qing glanced at the situation in the corridor out of the corner of her eye, but it was obvious that her attention was not entirely focused there.

A pair of illusory eyes, invisible to others, appeared in the air, and Baili Xue's voice entered her mind: "Sister, it seems that you are also feeling a little uneasy."

Baili Qing: "Did you see anything?"

"Not yet, but I can foresee some... ominous shadows," Baili Xue said slowly, "It's like something is shrouding my vision. No matter where I look, the shadow covers the entire border area. Do you understand what I mean? It's like... everything is getting darker, and something big is coming. This feels quite bad."

Baili Qing frowned, and just when she was about to say something else, a slight vibration and buzzing suddenly came from her earlobe.

She had an idea and without taking off the earrings, she raised her hand and brushed the edge of the earrings.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, she asked first: "Luo, what's the situation over there?"

"Expressed expression!" Luo's voice came from the other side of the earring. The first word made Baili Qing's eyes twitch slightly, but the news that came in quickly made her ignore the first two words "Expressed expression". "Something's not right here - the cracks and holes in the hall have disappeared, but, but..."

"But what?"

"But half the station has become transparent!"

Baili Qing: “……?!”

"It's hard to describe it to you—it looks like half the space station has been split diagonally in half. Nearly half of the structure is gone, and you can even see the space outside, but in fact, the material structure of those parts is still there," Luo said quickly, and it sounded like the background was shifting. "The laboratory dome has disappeared, and the artificial gravity seems to be having problems... Wait, there's something outside the space station... I think I see..."

The signal seemed to be greatly disturbed and suddenly became intermittent. Even someone as calm as Baili Qing could no longer remain calm. His expression changed and he quickly said, "What is that? Luo? Luo, are you still there..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a few exclamations from the corridor, and then Song Cheng rushed towards her: "Director! Director, look over here!!"

Baili Qing was startled, and her figure turned into a shadow in an instant. The next moment, she arrived in front of a large window outside the corridor. Baili Xue's eyes almost disappeared in the air beside her at the same time, and now she had jumped directly outside the Secret Service building.

Outside the large windows was the street scene of the city. The view seemed to be located somewhere high in the sky in the city center. In the distance, one could clearly see the numerous high-rise buildings and the most magnificent building located in the very center of the city - the Director TC City was being shrouded in darkness. The sky gradually became dim, the clouds were dispersed by an invisible force, and an astonishing behemoth... was casting its shadow on the tall and magnificent main building of the Director Tower.

While seeing the scene outside the window, the scene that Baili Xue observed from the air also appeared in Baili Qing's mind. She "looked" at the giant disc-shaped space station that was slowly moving in the sky, and the glittering starry sky around the space station that seemed to be projected through dislocated time and space, and finally took a breath.

Director Baili, who has been in charge of the Secret Service Bureau for a hundred years and has always been known for his coolness and calmness, had the urge to curse for the first time in his life.

And finally Luo's voice came from her earrings again——

"...I think I can see the border! Hey? Is the signal working?"

"Luo..."

"ah?"

"I'm going to kill you with my anti-aircraft guns!!"
