Chapter 2610: Disintegration Under the Space
Static Time doesn’t mean time stops, but rather that relative to the current space, the new Time Force is much slower, making the areas covered by the new Time Force seem like they’ve hit a pause button... As time flows slowly, Xu Huo, along with the entire Night Tour Team, seemed to enter a space with a peculiar state. The surrounding Spatial Power exhibited strange fluidity, as if they were slow-motion space storms, yet the state they presented was different from the teaching scenes shown in the previous Super Dungeon. These Spatial Powers were not structured in a way associated with a Spatial Body but were more like some kind of flowing matter, and their slow flow wasn’t due to the influence of Time Force, but the space itself was inherently slow.
The Night Tour Team was stuck in this peculiar space, but instinct told him it wasn’t dangerous here. Perhaps it was because of the sluggish flow of Spatial Power, or maybe because it caused no harm as it passed around him. In short, it felt more like another space independent of the restricted area and District 001, unique but unlike the Chaotic Space where Spatial Power was overly concentrated, causing chaos and disorder...
If one were to describe it, its state resembled a Water Rubik’s Cube, another form of stability that one cannot feel as overwhelming.
Of course, a space with different Spatial Power than the game districts doesn’t mean it’s not a stable space. On the contrary, it might be a space whose state is distinctly different from other spaces, and this is how its Spatial Power operates here.
If that’s the case, does that imply there’s a special space sandwiched between the restricted area and the dungeon venue, which is why ordinary cross-space teleportation tools cannot accurately locate the restricted area? People within the restricted zone, unless drawn into the instance, absolutely cannot establish a connection between the two spaces through other means.
Can living beings survive for long periods in such a space with special conditions, special Spatial Power?
Just as this thought flashed by, the ghostly creature ahead suddenly deflated and revealed the answer to him.
The person supporting the Ghost Monster Suit suddenly vanished!
Xu Huo still didn’t know what exactly happened, and then the Ghost Monster Suits on him and around him began to disintegrate. They didn’t age and crumble visually like the passage of time; instead, they dissolved in place almost like gas, disappearing from the space in an instant... No, not disappearing, but transforming into another state!
At that moment, he felt the shadow of death brought by the Space Power enveloping his whole body. Although he had already witnessed space storms on the train and understood the scale of destruction Space Power could cause, this silent disintegration was the real fangs of Space Power. They were not the echoes of some coincidental collisions, nor did they appear and disappear unstably, but they lingered slowly and for a long time in one place, like the time when the universe was first born.
"Go!" Fortunately, the Time Force didn’t last long, and the Night Tour Set, as a prop attached to his body, fought for a fleeting moment. Xu Huo grabbed the Girl in the painting, which had returned to its paper form, and relied on the protection of the Water Rubik’s Cube to dash toward the vortex ahead!
Instinct told him that was the exit, which indeed turned out to be the Night Tour Team’s exit. He easily went through it, and as he and the Girl in the painting tumbled to the ground, they came face to face with the armed robots from the building’s perimeter and District 001 players!
Compared to his surprise, everyone on the District 001 side turned pale, yet there was no way the props and instruments they used in the first instant could be retracted. In just a glance, the building where the restricted area’s exit was located was completely blown apart. Before the smoke even reached high into the sky, several figures had already rushed out from the space blockade one after another!
Of course, the first to rush out were Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting, who were escaping nonstop, followed by the District 001 players who reacted a beat later. The leader, a short-haired man of older age, commanded, "Stop him!"
With a force pressing down from the sky, Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting seemed to be pounced upon by something invisible and both fell toward the ground. However, before the District 001 people could come over to capture them, they disappeared from the ground again, along with the city blockade barrier of Lanshui Town.
Of course, the city blockade barrier only vanished for a moment and then resumed operation, but this also meant that Xu Huo had already left Lanshui Town.
The gathered players all looked quite displeased, especially the short-haired man who had just given the order.
"I miscalculated the opponent’s strength. I will apply for a penalty afterward," he said. "Now announce the opponent’s characteristics to all dungeon city governments, verify the opponent’s identity. This person is likely not a player of our District 001. Suggest to the District Government that if the opponent hasn’t immediately left District 001, they are either a Ticket Player or have another purpose. They must be tempted with profit to make him reveal the way out of the restricted area space."
After quickly conveying the orders, he swiftly reviewed the information returned by the armed robots from the ruins. "The detection peaks have disappeared, so it seems there won’t be any Night Tour Team appearances here. Deploy a small squad to guard, and the rest of you come with me to the predicted area B3."
The player squad responsible for this interception mission moved again, but the sudden episode just now shook the entire dungeon venue and even the district itself. No one could have imagined there would be someone appearing in the restricted zone, and the location where he appeared happened to be the area with the energy peaks detected by the instruments. The whole dungeon venue, only the places where the Night Tour Team appeared would have such energy peaks, and the players who witnessed Xu Huo and the other two emerging from the ambush point couldn’t comprehend the possibilities behind this scene. Some couldn’t help but wonder, even after leaving the ambush point, if he really came out of the dungeon restricted area?
However, in less than half a minute, the information channel of the District Government announced Xu Huo’s identity information to all the players involved in the rescue. It confirmed he had just arrived in District 001 in the past few days, visited the writer Jing Shi, went to Cultural Street, and was the only Outer Zone player who voluntarily entered the restricted area claiming to rescue someone. Naturally, some of his actions within the restricted area were also reported to the government by the Metal Token players and others.
This is a technologically advanced district. Let alone if Xu Huo hadn’t disguised himself, even if he frequently changed his appearance, there was a certain probability of being identified. So being locked onto by District 001 without preparation wasn’t surprising.
The fact that he and the Girl in the painting encountered District 001 players upon emerging could only indicate one thing: District 001 should have a certain understanding of the Night Tour Team’s appearance pattern. If the Night Tour Team hadn’t disintegrated in that special space, they should have smoothly appeared within Blue Water Wu City.
Sitting by the river, Xu Huo carefully checked his body, confirming even the Water Rubik’s Cube multiple times to ensure that the recent spatial crisis hadn’t caused any adverse effects before asking the Girl in the painting, "How did you revert just now?"
