I set the target as HK, but ended up in Antarctica?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh... You want to go to HK? Where did you come from?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Night City.\" Lille looked around at everything, then glanced at his penguin body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Munemasa became a ranger penguin with ice blades, and ribbons fluttering on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He... or rather he and Johnny, became sunglasses-wearing penguins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Night City, HK, Antarctica, you’ve certainly deviated very far, but the signal I received from you was very strong, even reaching Antarctica without any relay.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strange, is this some kind of new technology?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s something I don’t quite understand either... The communication array strength of Arasaka Tower theoretically only covers Asia.\" Munemasa glanced towards Lille after speaking: clearly, among surprises, the only one Lille had was capturing Johnny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille’s mind raced quickly, immediately considering a possibility:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that the precondition of dimensional travel is energy, it means each time he arrives in another world, there is some energy assisting him to cut across dimensions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this energy peaks not only when breaching the Marvel World’s dimension but also when returning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, it’s not impossible for the signal to inadvertently strengthen beyond the strength dictated by this world’s physical laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AI cannot understand things it hasn’t encountered, Lille thought and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really was an accident... but I’m not sure about the specific situation either...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munemasa, after a while, continued to ask: \"Why are you constantly touching yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Lille realize that this body seemed to have branched out a very tiny silhouette resembling a phantom, the phantom penguin’s flippers continuously touched this data body, occasionally patting its belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that it was Johnny, curious to explore his new life form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Lille and his data coexistence in cyberspace looked quite... peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ah ha!
