Chapter 519 Baili Qing also has moments of confusion
Everything happened in a very short time, from the opening of the rift to the confusion of the people on both ends of the rift, to the active firing of the opposite side, to the collapse of the passage. Luna crossed the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye and captured one of the opposite side. The whole process actually took only a few tens of seconds - when Luna threw the "prisoner" on the ground, Zheng Zhi on the side was even a little confused.
Then the whole alley became quiet.
The only thing left at the scene was the strange silver-white device still humming at the intersection. A considerable portion of the spider webs that originally covered the surrounding area had been torn and dissolved during the previous fissure turbulence. The remaining spider silk was scattered messily near the intersection, and it looked like it would not regenerate in the short term.
Yu Sheng looked down at the militant who was still unconscious in front of him, his lips twitching, and he looked up at Luna: "...well done."
Luna lifted the hem of her nun's skirt modestly, bowed, and stepped aside.
Hu Li approached cautiously, squatted in front of the prisoner, poked him with his hand, and looked up at Yu Sheng: "Benefactor, he is still alive."
Irene swung her arms, which were cracking again and on the verge of breaking. "Silly fox, your punctuation is really problematic, I'm telling you."
"Don't shake it, or it will fall down again." Yu Sheng raised his hand to support the little guy on his shoulder, and then sighed again, "I'll fix it for you when we get back... Alas, you can still make mistakes with your body..."
The king suddenly jumped onto Zheng Zhi's shoulder. He stretched his head to observe the various forks in the road. His cat face was serious. "Do you see anything wrong now?"
"I think... I can't see it anymore," Zheng Zhi hesitated, muttering as he surveyed his surroundings. "It's mainly because I often can't be sure if what I see is correct. I don't even know what a normal person would see at this time. Anyway, all I can see right now is the intersection, the spider web, and a few side roads with alleys similar to this one on the other side—and a cat hanging in the air."
"That's all right, that's all we saw," Little Red Riding Hood heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yu Sheng, "So what should we do next? There are too many unexpected situations this time..."
"Retreat! We've gained enough today," Yu Sheng said immediately. "You guys go back to No. 66 Wutong Road. Luna and I will take this... prisoner directly to the Secret Service Bureau."
As he spoke, he had already opened a door, and opposite the door was the living room of No. 66 Wutong Road.
"Hey, what about me?" Irene immediately yelled, "My arm is broken again!"
"You and Hu Li go home and wait first," Yu Sheng grabbed the little doll from his shoulder and threw it directly into Hu Li's arms. "I'll fix it for you when I'm done. If you don't have enough people to play games, you can first shake out a mass-produced girl from the valley."
Irene turned over in Hu Li's arms, her head exposed: "Oh, then come back soon! I have feelings for this body now..."
Yu Sheng waved his hand and watched the others file through the gate leading to No. 66 Wutong Road. He breathed a sigh of relief after everyone had left, then opened another door and nodded slightly to Luna who was still beside him.
At the same time, in the director's office of the Secret Service headquarters building, Baili Qing was calling Song Cheng over to arrange for them to investigate the strange device in the dark alley. Suddenly, she seemed to feel something and looked up at the empty space in front of the desk.
An illusory door had already opened out of thin air. Yu Sheng poked his head over and took a look. A smile appeared on his face. "I ran into a problem over here, so I captured someone... Hey, Captain Song is here too?"
As they were talking, Luna, dressed as a nun, walked out of the door, carrying a prisoner in combat uniform who had been stripped of his weapons, and threw him on the floor of the office with a "bang".
Song Cheng was still communicating with the director about the situation a second ago, but he was suddenly confused at this moment. He turned his head to look at the militants of unknown origin who were thrown on the ground, and then looked up at Luna's unchanging smiling face, with a look of question marks.
Baili Qing stood up from behind her desk. Even her expressionless face was a little confused. She glanced at the person on the ground, then at Yu Sheng who had pushed the door open and walked in. She hesitated for less than two seconds and asked, "What's going on?"
"We got into a fight at the intersection at the end of the 'Dark Alley,'" Yu Sheng explained. "Didn't I send you some photos? Just opposite the silver-white device in the photos, a passage suddenly appeared out of nowhere... I suspect it's from the Black Spot Group..."
He immediately told Baili Qing and Song Cheng what had just happened in the dark alley. Finally, he raised his hand and pointed at the captive on the ground: "Luna jumped directly to the other side before the tunnel collapsed and captured this. It's considered a local specialty."
Song Cheng, who was standing next to the desk, changed his expression immediately after listening to Yu Sheng's story. For a moment, he didn't even care whether the word "local specialty" was appropriate here. Instead, he quickly looked at Baili Qing, and then came to Yu Sheng like a gust of wind, bending down to check the condition of the prisoner.
After quickly checking the other person's equipment and some insignia, he looked up at Baili Qing with a serious expression: "...He's a soldier from the Black Spot Group. Judging from his equipment and insignia, he should be deployed to perform security tasks in the mainland."
Yu Sheng instantly noticed the key words in the other party's words: "...deployed on the mainland?"
He looked at Baili Qing, but saw that the female director had a rather subtle expression on her face. She opened her mouth, but after a long pause, nothing came out. Then she took a deep breath and turned to Song Cheng, instructing him, "Immediately arrange for a team of deep divers to enter the 'dark alley' and find out what that 'device' is. If you can bring it back, bring it back. If you can't move it, set up observation facilities on the spot... Also, considering that armed black spot personnel have appeared at the scene, don't forget to remind the operatives to prepare for battle."
"Yes, Director." Song Cheng immediately nodded and accepted the order, then quickly left the office.
Baili Qing then picked up the phone on the desk and gave a few instructions. A moment later, several fully armed Secret Service agents and medical staff hurried over.
"Send him to the medical center first," Baili Qing instructed, pointing at the Black Spot Group soldier still in a deep coma on the ground. "Don't let him die—after his condition stabilizes, send him to the cell block in Area 1. I'll personally interrogate him later. Be careful, he might be very aggressive when he wakes up."
After arranging and handling everything, Baili Qing breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Yu Sheng.
"...Tell me about that 'passageway' and the 'laboratory' across from it. What exactly does it look like?"
Yu Sheng nodded, then pulled a chair over and sat across from Baili Qing. But just as he was about to speak, Luna suddenly said, "I have a record."
As she spoke, she raised her hands in front of Yu Sheng, folded them in mid-air, palms facing up. After a moment's delay, a vibrating light curtain appeared about ten centimeters above her palms and quickly transformed into a clear holographic projection.
Yu Sheng was surprised: "...You still have this trick?"
"Always have," Luna nodded stutteringly, "but never used it."
"Hey, that's great," Yu Sheng suddenly smiled happily, "You can be a battlefield recorder in the future..."
Luna looked at Yu Sheng, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Miss Saint usually secretly records a lot of things...
Baili Qing's attention was quickly focused on the images recorded by Luna.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
"Stop." she said suddenly.
The image on the holographic projection paused, staying at the moment when the passage had just opened and the researchers and armed personnel on the opposite side stared at this side in amazement.
Baili Qing and Yu Sheng looked at each other.
A pair of huge eyes appeared in the air nearby, and Baili Xue's voice rang out from nowhere: "It looks like the people on the other side are even more surprised than you."
"Good evening," Yu Sheng greeted Baili Xue and nodded. "Yeah, I noticed that too. The people on the other side didn't seem to expect the passage to open suddenly. We were both stunned for a second or two."
"Did they not expect the passage to open, or did they not expect what would happen after it opened?" Baili Xue said slowly. "These are two completely different questions."
Yu Sheng frowned: "You mean..."
"That looks like some kind of research facility across the way, and with so many technicians active on site, it's very likely that what you're seeing is some kind of experimental site," Baili Qing spoke up this time. The female director clearly had some theories. "That passageway that appeared in the 'dark alley' might be some kind of test, some kind of... teleportation device, or something similar."
Yu Sheng thought for a moment: "A teleportation device that leads directly to a foreign land? A wild and advanced version of the 'umbilical cord' technology?"
"...It's hard to say, but theoretically, there shouldn't be such a thing. The rules for entering and exiting the alien realm are very strict," Baili Qing couldn't help but glance at Yu Sheng at this point. It seemed that everyone who knew Yu Sheng would have this subtle and slightly annoyed reaction when talking about the "strict rules for entering and exiting" of the alien realm. Then, she continued, "Even the 'umbilical cord' technology actually works under the premise of following the rules of the alien realm. It just uses safer technical means to simulate the conditions for explorers to enter and exit the alien realm. And that 'channel' you saw... such a large-scale and stable rift is a technological product of a completely different level."
Having said this, she shook her head and asked Luna to continue playing the video. She paused after a few seconds and pointed to the center of the screen.
"The key is this, this black object floating on the platform in the center of the laboratory—it seems to be the 'core' of the entire laboratory. It can be clearly seen that the surrounding equipment is operating around this platform."
Yu Sheng touched his chin, of course he also noticed that thing.
He noticed it the moment the passage opened.
His brows furrowed slightly. "So... what exactly is this thing?"
