"Huh..." The consultant opened his eyes and took a deep breath. There was a blurry double image in front of his eyes. The pain in the back of his head began to appear. He reached out and touched it. The wound stung slightly and his fingers were stained with blood.
He sat up, his vision quickly returned to normal, and he didn't feel any physical discomfort. He reached out again and carefully touched the wound on the back of his head. He found that it was not serious and the bleeding had stopped long ago. So he manipulated the thread of truth to sew up the wound.
"I am... a consultant." He said to himself, a large amount of information was quickly sorted out in his mind, and then his eyes became solemn: "This is..." He paused: "I can't remember this. Where is it? I don’t know how I got here... The last memory is in the submarine..." He looked down at his watch, "Fifty-two minutes ago..." Taking another deep breath, he used these few seconds to restore his thinking ability. At the best state, he has come to a conclusion: "There are no signs of total amnesia. The wounds indicate that I have been attacked, so... it is retrograde amnesia caused by concussion."
He stood up and began to look at the surrounding scenery carefully to see if it reminded him of anything.
This place looks very desolate, with no grass growing at all. The ground beneath your feet seems to be made of stone. Many large square stones are scattered on the open ground. Occasionally, you can find a few cylindrical and carved stone pillars. Some of them It has been broken, and some of it is lying on the ground.
Where the consultant was lying just now, there were several large square stones around. He stood on the stones and looked out. The outline of a city can be seen faintly in the distance. He turned around to see what was on the other side. Unexpectedly, he was shocked to see that there was a cliff just a few dozen meters away from him.
He walked forward to the edge of the cliff. Looking down, he realized that he was wrong. This was not a cliff at all, but the end, the end of the land beneath his feet. There is nothing outside the "cliff", only the endless sky.
If it is not very high here, you should be able to see the ground under the cliff when you look down; if it is quite high, you should be able to see clouds; if it is so high that it is close to the universe. That should be able to see the entire land. But when the consultant looked down now, what he saw was the sky.
"If I still stay on earth, then there is another explanation..." the consultant thought in his mind, and then he took a few steps back. He raised his head. He thought he might be on an upside-down continent with gravity. Assuming this was true, he should be able to see the land in the distance when he looked up.
But when he raised his head, his expression froze.
Even for an open-minded agnostic like the consultant, the sight before him was a bit overwhelming. When he looked up. What you see is the same sky. You can't see the sun and moon in this sky, but you can see the earth.
It feels strange when an astronaut in space sees the Earth. The surroundings should be the vast starry sky and the universe, but it looks like this from this land. The earth is surrounded by blue sky.
"Huh..." the consultant smiled: "So... this place, no matter which direction you look out. It is the sky, with stable gravity. It is not on the earth, nor in space..." Some memory fragments flashed before his eyes: "Here It should be the front yard leading to the Garden of Eden in Tiankou... But, I shouldn't have come... I... "
His pupils dilated, a face flashed through his mind, and he instinctively pronounced the name: "Venessa..."
Missing memories quickly emerged.
… …
An hour ago, submarine bridge.
"We are almost entering the opponent's control area. Considering that we may be tracked by satellites, I think it is better to enter the sand submersible mode now." The consultant sat in front of the main console and said.
The warlock continued: "The anti-tracking system can be turned on at any time. Radar, sonar, and thermal energy can interfere with it. As long as you drill into the sand, you can get as close as you want." He turned to everyone and said, "Do you want to Drive all the way to the bottom of the portal, and then suddenly rush out."
"No, stop after diving into the sand and stay far away from that place." Tian Yi replied, then turned around and walked out: "Consultant, accountant, warlock, stay behind the submarine, the others follow me, we will walk there .”
"We are still several kilometers away from the Ark, and there is a defense line from the Imperial Army. You should use the separation capsule." The accountant said.
"We are all powerful ability users. We should just warm up after traveling a few kilometers." Tianyi said, already walking to the door: "After we leave, you will dive down and turn on the anti-tracking system. What to do next will be decided by the consultant. command."
"Boss, how about bringing a Destiny to keep in communication?" the accountant reminded.
Tianyi didn't answer, he had already walked out of the bridge.
"It seems he doesn't think it's necessary." Fengxuan said.
God Key then continued: "I think it's useless to bring it. If the sky garden is in another dimension, the communication equipment should be ineffective after we enter there."
"Didn't you hear what he said? You can follow us and set off." The blood owl said and walked out.
"Master Xiao is already eager to give it a try. The boss is quite serious today. Well... I suddenly feel that there may be no return." Fengxuan became nervous, took out another cigar and lit one for himself. But having said that, he still followed and walked out.
More than ten minutes later, all those with advanced abilities and above followed Tianyi out of the submarine and ran away in the desert.
The consultant's memory begins to disappear roughly from here.
"Okay, switch to sand submersible mode and fully activate the anti-tracking system." The consultant said, "Our work is almost done here."
As the submarine began to dive, he jumped off the main console, stretched, and then walked out of the bridge as well.
"Would you like to read the Book of the Heart?" the accountant asked.
"No need." The consultant replied: "I don't think anything will happen to Tianyi before entering the portal. I'm going to rest."
He walked to the electronic door, and the door opened in front of him, and Vanessa appeared in front of the consultant.
"You came to see me?" the consultant asked. He then tilted his head and looked at Gu Ling who was following Vanessa; "Sister, why are you here? I thought you had disembarked before."
"Tianyi asked me to be on guard here." Gu Ling said bluntly in front of Vanessa: "He said he had a hunch that the hostage you have been unwilling to release will definitely try to escape today."
The consultant smiled and said, "So you just keep following her?"
"What can I do? Who told you not to restrict her freedom? If she is an important prisoner captured by Silver Shadow, can she be treated like this?"
While Gu Ling was speaking, Vanessa suddenly took a step forward, put a hand on the consultant's shoulder, and moved behind the consultant. Both siblings noticed the change in energy and did not move rashly for a while.
"You also know what I am capable of." Vanessa said. She grabbed the consultant and blocked him in front of her: "Now that Tianyi is not here, only I can remove it... Don't move!" She turned around and shouted at the accountant and The warlock said, before the two people's buttocks had completely left the seats, they sat back directly due to the sound of shouting.
"I don't want to hurt you. Now let go of Xiaowen and I can pretend that nothing happened." Gu Ling said calmly. Faced with this situation, she still seemed very calm.
"Sister Gu Ling, I know that in terms of skill, you must be faster than me. But you should also know that it only takes a moment for me to activate my ability. You can bet that my concentration and reaction ability at the moment are not enough to cope with it." Vanessa said: "But I am confident that I can activate my ability before you destroy my brain, so the consultant will definitely die. Of course, you can also choose not to believe me and take the risk." After she said this, she pulled the consultant , came to the corridor, and said to the two people in front of the operation desk: "Prepare the separation cabin in ten minutes!"
Gu Ling stepped aside and watched as Vanessa hijacked the consultant and retreated, disappearing around the corner of the corridor.
"Do as she said." After they were out of sight, Gu Ling turned around and said.
The warlock asked: "What if she kills the consultant after she gets out?"
"She won't." Gu Ling replied, then sighed softly and muttered in a low voice: "He guessed it right again..."
… …
The separation capsule was launched from the submarine. At this moment, the submarine was already hiding on the bottom of the sand. It took a while for the separation capsule to break through the sand and reach the desert.
This separate capsule is also powered by itself, but its combat capabilities are not very good. It is basically used as a rescue capsule. However, the material used is exactly the same as that of the submarine, and it contains a certain proportion of doomsday rough stones, so its defensive capabilities are very outstanding.
The capsule-shaped separation capsule rushed towards the direction of the portal. Vanessa set the trajectory and asked the consultant: "How far does the submarine interfere with the control of the separation cabin?"
"It must be much farther than you expected. The control system was written by warlocks. You might as well ask how many continents are there..." the consultant smiled.
"Okay." Vanessa interrupted before he could finish his words: "I originally planned to disable my ability and put you down after leaving a certain distance, but now it seems you have to follow me." She had already done so. Well planned, this series of actions have been considered and planned. After Tianyi and other members left, the only person with abilities on the submarine who could defeat him was Gu Ling, so the hostage chosen must be a consultant. The separation capsule was necessary because it would be difficult for her to break through the Imperial Army's front lines and reach the vicinity of the Ark alone. As for the hostages, it seems that they cannot be released now, otherwise the submarine is likely to remotely stop the cabin or control its return. Even if she can forcefully open the hatch and jump out, she will be back in a situation where she cannot approach the Ark.
"Wait..." Vanessa suddenly thought of something, looked at the consultant and asked: "I asked you about the scope of your control, why didn't you lie?" To be continued. .
