In the pitch-black space, the girl looked at the extremely unstable space opposite her, which was connected by thin white lines, and took her first step with a heavy heart.
There is no danger.
Just as Lian Han breathed a sigh of relief, an unexpected change occurred. The space beneath her feet suddenly shattered, and the soles of her shoes were instantly torn clean.
If she hadn't been quick enough to pull her foot back, Lian Han was certain that it would have been her foot that was torn apart and disappeared!
What kind of awful place is this?! Lian Han wanted to curse.
However, she couldn't even utter a sound, and could only frown and start thinking of a solution, as her time was very limited.
The spatial equipment cannot be activated. If she doesn't leave before she runs out of energy, she'll just have to wait to starve to death here.
Of the six cards in hand, the attack card and illusion card are obviously useless, and there is only one defense card with a decent durability of 28.
Lian Han thought for a moment and decided to try it out. This time, she found a large fragment to land on. It did not break, but after she left the fragment, the next step appeared. The defense card was activated and moved horizontally under the control of Lian Han's mental power, forming a path made of ice.
Lian Han quickly jumped up and headed towards the red light.
S-class powerhouses are fast, but the ice road breaks even faster!
Soon, Lian Han had to activate another layer of protection. After three times, she finally reached the red light, and then—she was bounced back!
Lian Han: ...
Intermediate defense card
Attribute: Ice
Effect: Controlled by the user, it forms a layer of ice protection.
Energy state: stable
Durability: 24
Lian Han's face darkened as she looked at the defense card in her hand. Then she was shocked. The card had a durability of 28, and she had used it 3 times. It should still have 25 durability left!
Where did it go the other time?
Lian Han was puzzled, then she saw the card change to "23" in her perception!?
Lian Han looked at the card in his hand, then thought of the mental energy that had disappeared earlier, and 003—no reaction, it might be that the energy was exhausted.
[System, have you forgotten what you need for everything?]
The system remained silent, so Lian Han continued, "[For example, can this wandering space devour energy?]"
[The information provided by the system is correct.]
Lian Han blinked, "[Then nothing was leaked?]"
[The information is correct.]
Lian Han understood. The information was correct, but it didn't say it was complete.
Lian Han: [Believe it or not, I'll report you?] The system is really trying to ruin her, its host.
Perhaps feeling guilty, or perhaps genuinely afraid of her complaining, the system spoke again: [The space will not devour energy.]
But that key... Lian Han looked again at the red light in the distance, then at the card in his hand whose count had decreased again, and quickly came up with an idea.
Although the system's data was incomplete, it provided a way to capture the key, and she needed an opportunity.
So Lian Han once again summoned defensive cards, the ice path was repaved, and he stubbornly continued towards the red light...
The capital city.
Watching the girl disappear, the Ling family's faces were beyond ashen. Ling Wei pointed to the black hole that suddenly appeared behind the girl, "Analyze the energy, and also send the video to eldest brother."
Even if this unknown space was naturally formed, how could it possibly have reached this place through the Imperial Capital Star Defense Line without human intervention? The nine surrounding satellites are more than enough to detect everything.
The Imperial Capital Star is known as the Federal Safe Zone, and that's no exaggeration!
Ling Xin hesitated, "But Father is on the front lines..."
"I received news of a major victory on the southern front, and he's currently unemployed. Go and spread the word immediately! If the military doesn't give him an explanation, he can forget about being a marshal!"
Who would charge into battle on the front lines, enjoy the benefits he brings from the rear, and then try to harm his daughter?
"Yes, sir." Ling Xin saluted. This former "Blazing Rose" of the military was probably the only person in the Federation who could point her finger at Marshal Ling and yell at him. And if her father could intervene, things would indeed be easier.
"Ling Yue, I'm leaving the analysis to you. Determine as soon as possible what kind of spatial substance it is! The level of danger! Is it man-made space or something else?"
"yes."
"Mother," Ling Ze said weakly, "the military has called me, asking when my eldest and second brothers will return."
"You didn't turn it off—" Ling Wei paused, remembering that the boy had just been contacting Xiao Han and might have forgotten to turn off the communication. "Don't forget to turn it off next time. Tell them: 'The backyard is on fire, what are you going to do!'"
"Yes." Ling Ze touched his nose; his mother's temper was something else—
After Ling Wei finished speaking, she stood up, picked up her coat, and prepared to leave. Ling Xin quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
“The Lance family,” Ling Wei said calmly as she walked to the door.
With just four words, the living room fell into a deathly silence. Their mother and the matriarch of the Lance family were sisters, but their relationship with the Lance family remained merely one of ordinary friendship. The reason for this—
"You shouldn't go."
"Don't worry. That woman won't just stand by and do nothing if Xiaohan gets into trouble." Ling Wei paused after saying that, "After it's all over, I don't want Xiaohan's shadow to be negligent like this again!"
"clear."
Qi Mu—if he were here, he would definitely be the first to detect danger. And even if they were pulled into the spatial dimension, they would feel more at ease with him by their side.
Displaced space.
After one attempt, the girl was nearly exhausted. Her face was deathly pale, her body swayed, and she finally collapsed to the ground. The defense card lay quietly beside her.
After a moment of silence, the card suddenly trembled, floated up, and hung in the air. At the same time, its durability decreased rapidly, quickly reaching zero.
The discarded card fell, and an invisible force enveloped the girl, then tentatively reached into her coat pocket, where the scent of energy still lingered.
Now!
An S-rank spiritual power burst forth from his body, and the milky-white crystal core within his sea of consciousness shone for the first time, instantly enveloping him in reverse! This time, however, the spiritual power was not devoured!
Lian Han opened his eyes and used his mental power to compress the light further until it could no longer be shrunk, turning it into a red bead. When Lian Han looked at the negative space again, the red light had indeed disappeared.
So, this key has actually been with her from the very beginning.
[System, found it.]
Lian Han felt a card appear in his hand. [Ban it first.]
Lian Han's lips curled into a smile as she channeled her spiritual power into the sealing card. A black light appeared, and soon the bead materialized on the card. She could sense the key's unwilling struggle, but it was futile compared to the power of a top-tier sealing card.
[Survival mission complete. Mission reward: Random teleportation card.]
Another card appeared, and Lian Han quickly sensed its attributes.
Advanced Random Teleport Card
Attribute: Space
Effect: Ignores all restrictions, randomly teleports.
Energy state: stable
Durability: 6
So you need to use this card to leave, not the key.
Now it's time to test your luck; things can't get any worse than this space. Lian Han channeled his spiritual power, activating a random teleportation card.
A silver vortex appeared beneath his feet, and Lian Han fell directly into it; the teleportation had begun.
However, once he saw the location clearly, Lian Han realized that he had oversimplified things; this randomness was truly random.
