Xu Dingjia had no objection, and Li Feng certainly had no reason to object. The two stepped forward and stood in a row with Jiang Cheng. The three of them have experienced so many things together, and even if they don't talk much, they can clearly feel the trust between them.
Jiang Cheng was moved in his heart and did not dare to neglect at this time. He took a step forward and said, "Let's take one step forward and then stop. Wait for my signal."
The collapse around them became more and more violent, approaching the place where they stood. Even Li Feng's arm was cut and bleeding by an unknown substance, but they remained firm and did not move. Jiang Cheng looked at the measuring ruler with all his concentration, and saw that the pointer had just dropped, and when he was about to lift it up, he shouted: "It's now."
The three of them took a steady step forward at the same time.
With just one step, the surroundings changed again, and those distorted scenes were suddenly thrown behind everyone.
Xu Dingjia also said in disbelief: "How could this happen?"
Jiang Cheng sighed and said: "Because the shaking of the pointer of the celestial ruler made me speculate. I suspect that there will be overlapping spaces in front of us periodically, and we just happened to walk into the overlapping space before."
Xu Dingjia understood and said: "The overlapping space is behind us!"
Jiang Cheng nodded.
Xu Dingjia looked around, his expression finally showed some relief, and said: "We have reached the edge of the twisted space. The front of the measuring ruler is the buffer zone. The next step is our time to fight back."
"How to fight back?" Li Feng asked, secretly clenching his fists.
Jiang Cheng glanced behind him. Everything began to twist and tear, as if it were water broken by stones, and it continued to expand in his field of vision. He warned: "Don't say so much yet, the space distortion is reaching its limit, get out of here!"
Before they finished speaking, the three of them felt that the entire space was carrying a strange gravity, pulling on their bodies. At this moment, they immediately realized that they were still in danger, and immediately ran towards the direction indicated by the ruler.
After running for less than ten seconds, everyone felt a lightness on their bodies at the same time, and the invisible torque disappeared. No one needed to explain, they knew that this time they were truly out of the coverage of the twisted space. After stopping for a moment to catch his breath, Jiang Cheng looked behind him. The ruins were falling apart silently, shattering like sand. All the scenery gradually became blurred, but the fragments as big as gravel were very clear. The visual contradiction deepened the weirdness of it all.
"Where are we now?" Li Feng suddenly asked this question.
When Jiang Cheng came back to his senses, he noticed that the surrounding light was no longer so dark, and everything seemed particularly clear. That is not visual. The surrounding rubble and broken walls are nothing more than these things that can be seen clearly. It was an indescribable feeling. Jiang Cheng only felt that the environment here seemed very... pure
Xu Dingjia explained: "This is already a buffer zone. It is a very pure space. There will be no interference from redundant information and power. Even real people can only detect things within sight. It is a very loose space."
"Even so, how can we find Lu Fuyuan?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Xu Dingjia said: "Through the buffer zone, the person who caused all this must be on the opposite side of the buffer zone. Judging from the scale of this distortion of space, the buffer zone may occupy half of the orphanage. Lu Fuyuan wants to maintain the ceremony, It is impossible to be in an unstable distorted space or a buffer zone that cannot transmit information. It is only possible to stay in a relatively stable and normal zone that can maintain rituals. The scope of the distorted space plus the scope of the buffer zone has already occupied the entire orphanage. Part of the area, the remaining normal area is just enough for Lu Fuyuan to hold the summoning ceremony. Therefore, as long as we go out, we will definitely encounter Lu Fuyuan."
Jiang Cheng cheered up and said in a deep voice: "This moment is finally coming!"
Li Feng took a deep breath, his expression serious, but still showing a trace of anxiety.
Xu Dingjia appeased everyone and said: "Even if he is the messenger of the ancient gods, making such a big noise must have consumed a lot of energy, and he has to maintain the operation of the ritual. The pressure is far greater than we imagined. Although with the help of the ancient gods' gifts and the gap between the abyss, he seems to have terrifying power, but he is still human, and now is his weakest moment."
Jiang Cheng wanted to speed up his pace, but when he lowered his head to look at the measuring ruler, he couldn't help but froze. Xu Dingjia noticed something strange about Jiang Cheng and looked at the ruler. He saw the other person holding it in his hand. The pointer was hanging down. It was no longer as active as before, like a toy without electricity.
Jiang Cheng frowned, "The measuring ruler is not responding? How could this happen?"
Xu Dingjia was not surprised and said: "Didn't I say it before? This is a pure three-dimensional space, and there is no redundant information in it. Even real people, like ordinary people, cannot get more information here. Your subconscious If the information cannot be detected, it will naturally not be reflected on the measuring ruler."
Li Feng became worried, "If the ruler cannot guide the way, how can we find Lu Fuyuan?"
Xu Dingjia was not worried about this at all and said: "The space here is very simple, so simple that it seems to only have the concepts of four directions and up and down. As long as we keep moving forward, we will definitely be able to get out of the buffer zone, and that is where Lu Fuyuan is hiding. Place."
"In that case, what are we waiting for?" Jiang Cheng no longer had any doubts and his pace quickened a little.
"Wait!" Xu Dingjia suddenly remembered something and quickly called Jiang Cheng.
At the same time, Jiang Cheng had already noticed something was wrong. Just walking a few steps faster, he clearly felt his heartbeat speeding up and his breathing becoming a little difficult, as if he was undergoing strenuous exercise. After hearing Xu Dingjia's voice, Jiang Cheng turned around and was about to ask, but suddenly his eyes turned white and his feet went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Li Feng quickly ran forward, supported Jiang Cheng, and asked Xu Dingjia, "What's wrong with him?"
At this time, Li Feng noticed that Xu Dingjia's face was also a little pale. Although the other party was walking slowly, he still showed a trace of fatigue. Xu Dingjia took a deep breath and said slowly: "I almost forgot one thing. This buffer zone is a pure and relaxing place for ordinary people, but it is not very friendly to us, especially real people."
"Not... friendly?" Jiang Cheng calmed down a little and noticed that the words used by Xu Dingjia were not "dangerous" or "terrifying", but "unfriendly". Although he had doubts, Jiang Cheng was unwilling to stop, so he asked as he walked: "What does unfriendly mean? Does it mean that... we will be rejected by this buffer zone? Is this the reason why my body is strange?"
