Chapter 109 This world is really strange, just like Sang...
Just as Sang Zhitao guessed, she could travel through time each time she obtained some background information about the Bubble World and the Microcosm. After confirming the map problem on Earth, Sang Zhitao returned to the Microcosm that same night.
When she woke up, it wasn't very early, around six or seven o'clock.
She didn't linger. After eating something simple, she rode her tricycle towards the central square.
The familiar Monument to the People's Heroes appeared before her. She looked up at the towering monument, her eyes reddening. After a long while, she looked away and wiped her eyes.
“North is up, south is down, west is left, east is right… due north…” Sang Zhitao turned around in place for a long time before finally finding the due north position.
We boarded a tricycle and drove directly around the edge of the central square, heading due north.
The area directly north of the Monument to the People's Heroes is, on Earth, the Forbidden City, which was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
It was an extremely magnificent complex of buildings. The people at the base believed that if they could confirm the existence of the Forbidden City at its location, it would prove that this was indeed Earth that had experienced a major catastrophe.
Sang Zhitao rode her bike for a long time before arriving at a desolate place. Looking at the People's Monument in the distance, she roughly gestured and realized that she had already traveled a farther distance than from the Tulip Garden to the Central Square.
She sighed deeply and continued riding her bike forward.
She walked until three or four o'clock in the afternoon when an extremely terrifying and huge crack appeared in front of her.
Sang Zhitao parked her car not far from the crack, walked a few steps forward, and finally stopped in front of the fence in front of the crack.
Sang Zhitao frowned, took out a map of the microscopic world from her bosom, and compared it up and down before confirming that this was the edge of the map.
"What happened..." Sang Zhitao asked, her face full of confusion. "Why has all that land on Earth disappeared...?"
After studying the map for a while and venturing further ahead, she frowned and hesitated as she looked at the railing.
Sang Zhitao looked around and found the place deserted. After thinking for a moment, she didn't hesitate any longer and simply climbed over the railing.
Instead of rushing forward recklessly, she took a few steps forward and then turned back to the tricycle.
After searching the car for a long time, Sang Zhitao finally found a roll of rope. She tied one end to the car body, returned to the railing, wrapped the rope around the railing a few times, and then tied the other end to her waist, tentatively moving forward little by little.
Fortunately, the ground at the edge of the crack was not as soft as she had imagined, nor did it collapse directly as she had expected, so that she would fall into the crack.
Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed. She leaned forward and saw that the crack was bottomless. After gesturing for a moment, she realized that the crack was more than half a meter wide at her current height of 1.6 meters. If it were a normal size, it would be about fifty or sixty meters wide.
Sang Zhitao frowned and gazed into the distance.
It was all foggy outside, and she couldn't see anything clearly. A gust of wind blew by, and she instinctively grabbed the knot at her waist, which happened to touch the binoculars that she had unintentionally put in her waist pocket earlier.
She quickly took out her binoculars.
The foggy view ahead became a little clearer through the telescope. She looked for a long time before she could vaguely make out the silhouette of a building through the fog.
Sang Zhitao's heart immediately stirred with excitement. She suppressed her trembling hands, took a few deep breaths, and looked around with her binoculars.
Suddenly, a giant, grayish-brown shadow appeared behind the misty fog. It looked like a person or a giant beast. The shadow slowly moved from a distance, and even from a great distance, Sang Zhitao felt an inexplicable pressure coming from it.
But before the shadow could get close, another shadow approached, and soon the two figures left again.
"Hoo..." Sang Zhitao, who had been holding her breath, let out a deep breath. "What was that...?"
Sang Zhitao bit her lip, feeling that the strangeness of this world was increasing.
As darkness fell, Sang Zhitao didn't linger any longer. She slowly moved back to the front of the tricycle, carefully put away the rope, looked back at the now empty area, and then rode the tricycle back home.
After arriving home and having a quick bite to eat, Sang Zhitao immediately searched for keywords online, hoping to find some information.
Unfortunately, whether it was due to incorrect keywords or a closely guarded secret, there was absolutely no information about it online, not even anything similar.
It's strange that the crack is far from the central square, but it's not so far that it's now in a place where no one has ever set foot, let alone that there's no information about it online.
Sang Zhitao frowned, feeling as if she had touched on a key point.
She sighed, frowned, and lay back down on the bed, her eyes fixed on the beautiful lanterns on the ceiling: "I wonder if this counts as world exploration progress..."
Unbeknownst to Sang Zhitao, her exploratory actions today had triggered a continuous alarm from the Fate Choice System, leading to a rare meeting between the high-level officials of the Bubble World and the administrators of the Micro World.
"Since it's an anomaly in your Microscopic City, it's naturally your responsibility." The Lan family head toyed with the cup in his hand, not even lifting his eyelids.
The administrator of the microscopic world was a woman with very delicate features. She frowned before saying unhappily, "The microscopic world never hides the public's right to know about the system. Our people don't have that much curiosity."
"Could it be that what happened in your microcosm can be blamed on our Sky City?" The woman who had chatted with the Blue Clan Head that day raised an eyebrow and looked at the microcosm administrator with a half-smile. "Bei Hua, that's not right."
The microscopic world administrator known as Bei Hua smiled slightly, not replying directly to her, but instead looking at the Lan family head: "I heard that a bubble person was thrown down from the illegal passage of Sky City a couple of days ago?"
The head of the Lan family paused, raised his eyelids, and said with some displeasure, "From that height, he should have died from the fall."
Bei Hua chuckled softly: "I guess you're disappointed."
Then Bei Hua turned to the woman next to the Lan family head: "Family Head Yan, do you think the Miracle Girl will die?"
The woman, the head of the Yan family, choked for a moment, glanced at the head of the Lan family, and then smiled and replied, "But who can prove that she is the woman of miracles?"
Bei Hua directly showed them a picture.
The Yan family head, the Lan family head, and other high-ranking members all had drastic changes in expression when they watched the video.
Especially the Lan family head, he suddenly sat up straight, the water glass he was playing with rolled to the ground with a crisp shattering sound, interrupting his excitement. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and then looked at Bei Hua: "How did you take the picture?"
Bei Hua remained as gentle and mild-mannered as ever, and replied with a smile, "It was given to me by the system."
The Lan family head's expression changed: "He discovered it?"
Bei Hua nodded silently.
The expressions of the others grew increasingly grim.
A younger bubble-like being frowned and asked, "It's alright if He finds out, isn't it...?"
The Yan family head glanced at him and whispered a reminder: "The Bai family head has just ascended to the throne and there are some things he doesn't know. The Daughter of Miracles is not on His side."
Although the Bai family head was young, he was no fool to have held the position of head of one of the four great families. He immediately realized what was happening and frowned as he looked at Bei Hua: "You should protect her."
Bei Hua gently shook her head and looked at the video where a bubble person was falling from the sky, but gradually shrank in mid-air until it shrank into a microscopic person and fell into a tulip.
She sighed softly: "He knew before we even discovered it; there was no hiding it, and..."
Beihua paused for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "I always felt that He deliberately led us to the discovery of the Daughter of Miracles..."
"There's no need to recount what happened back then. In legend, the Daughter of Miracles can help us break free from our shackles and return us to normal. Now that she has become a micro-human, how can she help us?" The Yan family head twirled a strand of hair beside his cheek, thought for a moment, and looked at the Lan family head beside him.
The Lan family head had now composed himself and looked at Bei Hua: "According to you, she was the one who caused the disturbance, right?"
Bei Hua nodded: "That's why I said our people don't have that much curiosity."
"But... how did she cross the barrier?" The Yan family head frowned slightly, his face full of doubt.
Bei Hua shook her head: "I don't know. That's a forbidden area. Not to mention us, even He can't find it."
"What does He mean?" Patriarch Lan continued to ask. "Since He gave you the video, it means He doesn't want the Daughter of Miracles to die, so what does He want to do?"
Bei Hua took a sip of water and sighed deeply: "He is saving himself."
"...Self-rescue?" the Lan family head murmured softly.
Bei Hua nodded: "I don't know what He was thinking, but from what I know of Him, He did have the intention of saving Him."
“We have no doubt about that; after all, you are the one who knows Him best.” The Lan family head nodded.
Bei Hua has existed since the emergence of the Fate Choice System. Since then, she has been the manager of the micro-world. It can be said that among the current high-level beings of the two worlds, she is the only one who has always existed. No one knows why she has been able to live for so long.
It wasn't that no one was curious, but Bei Hua was never as weak and harmless as she appeared. All those who had ill intentions towards her have long since become dust in the past.
Bei Hua smiled, a hint of gentleness flashing in her eyes, momentarily appearing as a kind elder.
“I’ve gathered you all here today because there’s something else I need to discuss,” Bei Hua paused, then continued, “whether or not we should go and be honest with the Daughter of Miracles.”
The group looked at each other, and no one spoke for a moment.
After a long silence, the head of the Lan family finally spoke, breaking the silence: "I choose to be honest."
The Yan family head glanced at him, lowered his brows, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Confess."
The head of the Bai family raised an eyebrow and glanced at the two of them. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll also choose to be honest."
The head of the Yun family, the last of the four major families in Bubble World, looked listless. He sat lazily in his chair, yawning and saying indifferently, "Same here."
Bei Hua glanced at the Lan family head with some surprise, but she didn't say anything. She just smiled and looked at the others. After a long while, she made the decision: "Then, we have finally decided to be honest with the Daughter of Miracles."
