Chapter 786 Chapter 21: Space-Time Foundation
Tick-tick-tick-
The sound of the clock on the wall gradually brought Li Muhan back to consciousness.
He slowly propped himself up and found himself in a very old-fashioned office. The ceiling fan above his head was turning slowly, making a creaking sound, as if it would fall down at any time.
"What a remarkable guest!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from his ears.
Li Muhan shuddered suddenly because he didn't notice anyone next to him.
The sound was so strange that it seemed to appear out of nowhere.
He stood up and turned around to see a short-haired girl wearing a strangely dressed white coat looking at him with a smile.
"Hello, sir."
The girl stretched out her hand towards Li Muhan.
".......? Where did you take me to......"
Although Li Muhan was very confused, he still stretched out his hand out of politeness. Unfortunately, the moment his hand touched the girl's hand, the girl's hand instantly began to twist and deform, as if liquid dispersed after being touched.
Li Muhan was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand.
“Puff——”
The girl couldn't help laughing, and her hand slowly returned to its original shape.
"Excuse me, you're so funny, so I wanted to play a little joke on you."
“.....Hehe.” Li Muhan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Please introduce yourself."
The girl leaned against the desk and looked at Li Muhan and said.
"You can call me Yue Huang, and I am also the temporary owner of this place~"
"...Hello, my name is Luo Yang."
Li Muhan still used his trumpet as usual, but just as he finished speaking, the girl angrily stepped forward with her hands on her hips and said, "Ah, lying is not good, Mr. Li Muhan~"
"...If you're constantly wandering around, it's safer to use a trumpet."
Li Muhan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"No, I remember I opened a rift. Where is this? Am I still on Earth?"
Li Muhan remembered the purpose of his coming here and asked.
Yue Huang pondered for a moment before answering, "Hmm~ This is an interesting question. Where are you? Are you still on Earth? First of all, unfortunately, I can't tell you where you are, because I don't know either. After all, existence here transcends space and time, and is not bound by any laws. Then the second question is easily solved~"
The girl clapped her hands and said, "Congratulations, you are no longer on Earth~"
The corners of Li Muhan's mouth twitched.
"I'm sorry, Doraemon might have opened the door to the wrong place... Can you take me back?"
Unexpectedly, the girl nodded simply: "Of course, but don't you want to tour our facilities?"
"Facility...? Just this office?"
Li Muhan looked around and said puzzledly at this old-fashioned office.
Yue Huang walked up to him and made a gesture of invitation.
It seemed that she wanted Li Muhan to follow her to the office door.
Forget it, let’s just make the best of it. The other party doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions.
The most important thing is that she is not a Tara, but she is not human either. As for what she is, Li Muhan doesn't know...
Yue Huang opened the office door, and outside appeared rows and rows of desks, but there was no one in front of the desks. This huge office seemed very empty.
But the various documents on the desk made the place seem extremely crowded.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Muhan looked around and said.
"Well, don't worry, come with me, I'll show you something interesting."
The girl hummed a little tune and took Li Muhan through the big office to the iron door.
"Mr. Li Muhan, first of all, I want to tell you that we have no ill will towards you. Secondly, you will not encounter any danger here. Even the Tara tribe will not be able to do anything here."
"In the end, our goals are the same. The Tara are the enemy of all of us. Is this considered a declaration of peace?"
"Well... okay."
"So, you don't need to try to summon the Pandemonium in your body anymore. They won't have any effect here."
The girl pointed out Li Muhan's thoughts and then pushed open the door.
Outside the door was a larger space, but it was pitch black.
The girl took the initiative to walk into the darkness, then turned around and looked at Li Muhan.
"Come on, Mr. Li Muhan, you won't be disappointed."
Although Li Muhan was a little hesitant, he still followed her into the darkness.
"I see your offices are empty. Are you the only one here?" he asked.
"No, they are all working at their own stations. It's just that you, Mr. Li, are in a different time and space from them, so you can't see them."
"......don't know."
"As I just said, this place transcends time and space, so it's not bound by any physical laws or rules. The me who appears before you now might actually be someone else in the blink of an eye."
Li Muhan scratched his head and said, "Then why do I feel like you haven't changed at all?"
"Subconscious, Mr. Li." The girl turned around, put her hands behind her back, and looked at Li Muhan while retreating. "Every time you see me, it's just one image in your subconscious. So no matter how much I change, I'll still look the same in your eyes."
"So that's how it is." Li Muhan pretended to know the answer, but this was too abstract.
But it doesn’t matter, just finish the tour and go back quickly.
That being said, what was this place for me to visit? It was pitch black all around. Without the demon's perception, I couldn't see in the dark.
However, Li Muhan vaguely felt that even if he now possessed the power of a demon, he might not be able to see clearly what was hidden in the darkness.
"We're here." The girl stopped and turned to look at Li Muhan and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Li Muhan."
"Is this what you are looking for?"
Snap——
Yue Huang pressed a button, and then Li Muhan saw two lights suddenly light up in front of him. Under the illumination of these two lights, a prison appeared.
And in that prison, there was a tall white figure.
That is exactly what Li Muhan is looking for: Bai Hai.
“…Hundred Bones.”
Li Muhan couldn't help but say its name.
The girl then took out a sign and placed it next to the prison: "Well, it seems I was right~ Bai Hai."
Some information about Bai Hai slowly appeared on the sign.
"No, wait, I'm confused. I remember... I opened a rift for Bai Hai. How did it get here..."
"Also, I remember... there seemed to be another human inside Bai Hai's body, a human about my age."
"Ah." Yue Huang interrupted Li Muhan. "What a coincidence, Mr. Li Muhan, the distinguished guest you mentioned hasn't arrived yet. It will probably take... well, let me calculate."
"After 900 million system hours, he will become the master of this place."
"Didn't you say that time doesn't apply here? Then can I see him now?"
Li Muhan asked.
Yue Huang shrugged: "Relatively speaking, it doesn't apply, but there must be a rule~"
“…double standards.”
"So, Mr. Li Muhan, what are you looking for Bai Hai for? It is currently in our custody and we own it."
"You keep talking about you guys, so who are you guys?"
Li Muhan asked the key question, and Yue Huang didn't seem to intend to hide too much.
"We have many names, but I will tell you now by the name you understand."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li Muhan, and welcome to the Space-Time Foundation."
