"So you're just throwing a bunch of robots out there?"
"Of course! I can't possibly go to those dangerous places myself, can I?"
Yang Xing smiled smugly: "This is still because we don't have enough materials and our technology isn't up to par..."
"What will happen once the technology is in place?" Xiao He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Of course, I'd copy ten thousand of myself! There wouldn't be a shortage, I could just run wild!"
"Dream on."
Xiao He walked down the passageway, with a circular white lamp shining overhead, illuminating the surrounding environment.
The little elf followed beside her, buzzing around like a bee.
There are no guards here, and no one can enter unless they possess Yang Xing's key.
"It seems you've taken control of the entire city?" Xiao He asked, somewhat incredulously.
"Absolutely! Otherwise, how could I live up to my nickname 'Old Gou'?"
Hearing that arrogant and unruly voice, coupled with the cute little elf in the pink dress, Xiao He could only barely resist the urge to let him continue to turn on the voice changer.
"There are so many old artifacts in every household in Black Street, and those resurrected residents, have you found anything out?" Xiao He asked.
"No, they're all normal people. The Black Street is just naturally abandoned, at least that's what they think."
Yang Xing explained, "In the past, with the Fifth Academy in charge, this street was relatively safe. After the academy declined, the street also declined."
"Is that so..." Xiao He asked blankly.
“They said it themselves.” Yang Xing paused. “Besides, hundreds of years ago, Black Street was full of underworld families. I don’t know if the news is true or false, but it’s not really relevant. What I really want to investigate is the place you’re heading to right now.”
"The underground street of the Black Street?"
"That's right."
The little sprite suddenly flew ahead, where there was a tightly closed stone door.
"This is it, I can't open it." It tapped it with its little hand.
Xiao He followed it to the door, used the system interface to bring up the detector, and the reading result showed no abnormalities.
If you touch it a little more, it feels no different from an ordinary stone, but there is a familiar repulsive force.
"Why can't it be opened?" Xiao He asked, puzzled.
The little sprite made no sound, and suddenly a bullet flew out of its palm.
"Bang!"
Xiao He followed the trajectory of the bullet and was momentarily stunned.
The stone gate remained perfectly smooth, without a single trace left.
"No way..." Xiao He suddenly remembered something.
Yang Xing, of course, had no idea what she was thinking, and continued to explain to her in a serious manner.
"This barrier is particularly strange. It isolates all living things, yet it can devour all dead things that break in."
"I put robots in from all angles, but they all lost contact..."
"Wait! Have you confirmed that the area has been thoroughly surveyed?" Xiao He asked hurriedly.
Yang Xing thought for a moment: "The error should not exceed one meter."
Xiao He looked at the 3D map sent by Yang Xing. On it was a circular space that was about to close, which was the space that he could not explore.
"The error is less than one meter? It's about to close?" Xiao He murmured.
"What did you say?" The little elf leaned close to Xiao He and blinked at her.
“I say, didn’t you notice that this ring isn’t static, but is slowly closing?” Xiao He didn’t intend to hide it from him.
"What? Really? How come I didn't notice?!" Yang Xing's tone was unusually excited, as if he had only scored 99.5 out of 100 on a test.
"What on earth is going on?! Have you seen these rings outside too? What exactly are they?!"
Faced with his barrage of questions, Xiao He could only sigh silently: "This... is similar to a time tunnel."
"What?!"
"Flying Dragon City is in the western part of the continent. If nothing unexpected happens, similar rings, called 'Moon Rings,' can also be found in the eastern, southern, and northern parts of the continent."
“Moon Ring…Moon Ring…” Yang Xing’s voice trailed off, followed by the sound of typing on a keyboard.
Xiao He ignored him and continued to gently pat the stone door in front of him.
The muffled sound it emitted was almost identical to the sound of the Zuniga passage barrier.
Xiao He instinctively wanted to tell Valerie the news.
Because she said that if she knew one more condition, she could calculate even more connected locations.
But actually, she also included a basic concept drawing in her letter.
That was a "pattern" she had analyzed for several days from the patterns of the Suniga barrier.
This shape resembles a lunar ring, but the calculation shows that the two ends of this shape do not actually meet.
If the two ends of the ring are extended infinitely, the resulting concept diagram looks like a compressed spring.
Although they are closely connected, they will never overlap.
What's most unusual isn't the shape of the "springs," but a straight line that runs through and connects the "springs," which Valerie labeled the "timeline."
As the timeline lengthens, the spring lengthens as well.
Valerie explained that this was normal. But Xiao He knew that the current situation was not normal.
Whether it's the Suniga Sea or the Black Street Underground City, both of the two rings can be closed 100%.
Because there is no time in the lunar ring!
Therefore, it is judged that its foreshadowing is not only "the change of eras", but more importantly, this "change of eras" does not have a timeline that can be extended indefinitely!
It's like placing a clock on a timeline. Every time the hands move, the clock moves one step along the timeline, and the resulting trajectory of the hands resembles a spring.
