Outside the alley, the sun shines brightly, the roads are clean and tidy, and the air is fresh.
The alleyway, however, was dark and damp, littered with garbage and foul-smelling water, and filled with a putrid stench.
As the four stepped in, ripples spread across the alleyway.
Jiang Shuran raised her hand and waved it in front of her nose, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "When did the sanitation in our Yan country become so bad?"
"In Yan Country, not to mention the alleys in third-tier cities, even the alleys in small towns are kept spotless and hygienic. Who came up with this picture? Although it's quite realistic, it's just too inconsistent with the current reality."
Wen Mingyue knew there was something wrong here, but she just assumed it was some kind of illusion by a ghost.
Lin Qianqian frowned and looked around.
There were no tall buildings on either side, and the alley ahead was deep and shrouded in a gray mist, making it impossible to see the exit.
She turned around and looked behind her again. The entrance she had come from was gone, and behind her was an old stone wall.
"It's not an illusion created by someone; we've actually arrived in another dimension or another plane of existence."
Belle was surprised when she heard this. She looked around carefully before speaking.
"No wonder I sensed a slight spatial fluctuation just now, but it was very faint, so I didn't notice it at first and just thought that some kind of monster had appeared in this alley."
Wen Mingyue was also a master of the Golden Core stage, but she had not sensed any spatial fluctuations before, only a cold and ominous aura.
So I didn't think about it being another dimension; I just assumed that some evil monster had appeared.
"This is troublesome!" Lin Qianqian sighed softly.
As Lin Qianqian and her three companions stepped into the alley, Yunze, who was drinking tea in the pavilion of Qianqian Residence, suddenly slammed down his teacup and then stood up abruptly.
He first closed his eyes, located the marriage contract deep within his consciousness, and sensed it.
He then took a step and disappeared from the spot.
Meanwhile, Luo Zexuan, who had just finished his business and returned to the base, received a telepathic message from Yun Ze.
"Qianqian and the others are in trouble. Notify the others."
Luo Zexuan was stunned when he suddenly received the telepathic message. He paused for a moment before realizing what had happened.
Meanwhile, Yunze appeared at the alleyway where Lin Qianqian and the others had disappeared in just a few breaths.
But now, looking into the alley, the short passage, only a few dozen meters long, is clean and tidy. Although sunlight doesn't penetrate, it's still well-lit and not dark at all.
Two or three little girls, arm in arm, walked over from the other end of the alley.
Looking at Yunze at the entrance, his otherworldly appearance and temperament left them speechless.
I accidentally bumped into the wall, then realized what I was doing and hurriedly ran away, embarrassed.
Yunze sensed a dark and corrupt atmosphere and signs of spatial fluctuations at the alley entrance.
He frowned, his handsome brows furrowed, and stared blankly ahead, actually communicating with his own divine artifact, Yu Zhaochen Shuo.
The small mirror hanging on Yunze's left waist flickered slightly: "Master, it's here. I sensed spatial fluctuations and traces of Lady Qianqian crossing space."
Yunze simply hummed in response to Yu Zhao's words.
Then he instructed the Endless Key: "Rewind time, to the scene ten minutes ago when Qianqian and the others entered the alley within a ten-meter radius of this place."
"Yes, Master."
A slightly mischievous voice came from Yunze's right side. Immediately afterwards, a disc that resembled a bell slowly rose into the air.
Suddenly, the disc fell and hung back on Yunze's waist.
At the same time, a deep, slightly hoarse voice rang out, "Excuse me, could you move aside?"
Yunze turned around and saw an elderly woman on a tricycle behind him, pulling a cart full of vegetables, preparing to cross the alley to the food court across the street.
Yunze sighed helplessly, took out his personal terminal, and dialed Luo Zexuan's number.
"I'm at the entrance of an alley. Qianqian and the others might have fallen into another dimension. Bring some people here to seal off this area. I need to go find them."
"Okay," Luo Zexuan replied succinctly, without any unnecessary words.
Luo Zexuan was very efficient; he brought his army over in a flying car.
A row of flying cars descended from the sky, then hovered two meters above the ground at the alley entrance, from which armed soldiers jumped out.
In no time, they had surrounded the alley.
Each flying vehicle carried seven or eight soldiers. After everyone in a vehicle jumped off, the vehicle would not leave, but would find a place on either side of the alley entrance to land and stop.
The flying car brought back by Borui Continental has not been officially unveiled to the public before, but there have been some dubious videos and pictures circulating online.
This was the first time they had officially appeared in front of the general public. As soon as they heard that Lin Qianqian and the others were in trouble, they had to report it up the chain of command.
Three minutes later, the news reached the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders.
The order from above was to find Lin Qianqian and the others at all costs. Everyone was very anxious, so they thought traveling by car or helicopter was too slow and used flying cars to get there.
Since it's a product that will be unveiled soon anyway, it's not a big deal if it comes out a little earlier.
The people who came included not only Luo Zexuan, but also Chu Zhou. Of course, Zhang Laodao was not there; he had gone to a secret base a few days ago.
Tang Dezhong and Chen Dinghai also came.
After the army surrounded both ends of the alley, police sirens sounded in the distance.
Local traffic police arrived after being notified. They will set up a cordon further away and ask the people currently inside the cordon to leave.
"Have you found any clues?"
Luo Zexuan jumped out of the car and ran over to ask, followed closely by Chu Zhou and Tang Chen.
“There are traces of spatial fluctuations at this alley entrance. There must have been a spatial rift or spatial overlap here before, which caused Qianqian and the others to accidentally enter another dimension.”
"So what do we do now?" Chu Zhou asked, pushing up his glasses while carefully observing his surroundings.
"I had planned to have Chen Shuo perform a small-scale time reversal to see what Qianqian and the others were like before they entered the other dimension. But an ordinary person passed by, so the reversal had to be stopped before it even started."
Chu Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard about the time reversal. He urged, "This area is surrounded by the army now, so it should be safe. We can start the reversal now."
Luo Zexuan was also anxious: "No one will disturb us anymore, let's start the retrospection quickly."
Tang Dezhong and Chen Dinghai didn't know what Chenshuo was, but they understood the meaning of time reversal.
Both of their hearts raced. How could they not be excited and thrilled to witness a miracle?
"Chen Shuo!" Yun Ze called softly.
The clock-like ring around his waist floated up again, drifting to within three meters of him.
This is the artifact of the God of Time and Space in the Orcish plane, the Infinite Key.
Of course, now it's Yunze's time artifact, Chen Shuo.
Yunze closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes had turned into blue eyes with silver vertical pupils.
He raised his hand, silver light gleaming between his fingers.
When divine power was poured into Chen Shuo's face, the silver needle on his face suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise.
