Chapter 2033: Abyss Passage
"Fengming Road 91?"
He set up the cordon, Lin An frowned slightly, looking at the ruined commercial street under his feet.
According to Black Dragon, he first sensed a similar aura nearby, then it disappeared.
"Black Dragon, do you mean the aura moves? But not in the real world? It appears and disappears intermittently, like constantly approaching and receding?"
The sign was mottled, Lin An asked softly, a hint of doubt and complexity flashing in his eyes.
Fengming Road was where he first changed his fate; the Apocalypse Ring on his hand was at the other end of the street. Of course, it's now also a ruin, burned by fire, the whole tea house reduced to a rolling gate crushed under broken bricks.
"Yes… Dad…!"
"It's moving again!"
Flapping its wings, Black Dragon stared at the ground like a cold-eyed big cat spotting a mouse, its icy amber vertical pupils locked tight.
Its massive dragon head moved back and forth like a locked-on lightning bolt, following the aura it sensed.
This sense seemed innate to it!
It was as if something hidden behind a black cloth, invisible yet detectable, was moving and occasionally jerking outward.
That thing must be a fellow member of its kind! It could sense it too!
After listening, Lin An focused his perception; unlike Black Dragon's innate talent, his sense showed no abnormality throughout Linjiang City.
And the street beneath his feet was utterly tranquil.
Even straining to sense spatial fluctuations, Lin An felt only a stillness like water, with occasional cold winds howling past, kicking up sand and gravel.
Mental power scan…!
Psychic detection!
Spatial perception…!
"Hum!"
"Hum!"
"Hum!"
He kept switching his perception methods until a flash of silver crossed Lin An's eyes, then he raised his eyebrows and finally spotted the anomaly.
Upon activating the Omniscient Domain, a torrent of data flooded in and reconstructed the scene before him.
In his view at that moment, an extremely unusual spatial bulge appeared, like a wandering giant snake spreading across the space.
It was as if someone had scratched lines across white cloth with a fingernail!
Hidden yet shocking! It made one imagine something moving back and forth behind the unseen space, trying to get close here.
"From the other end to here? That end is number 97…?"
"Loitering, trying to break through space?"
"Could it really be a creature from the Abyss World, an Abyss Dragon, come looking for the little guy?"
"But if some node has been opened, the likeliest place would be the hospital, right?"
Long ago, Lin An had wondered whether Abyss World creatures might invade Earth.
For a long time, he had been especially wary of Linjiang Hospital.
After all, the little guy had escaped from there, and when he first entered the hospital, he also found traces of massive movement in the underground parking lot.
At that time he had suspected other Abyss creatures might have appeared there, but later events were so numerous that nothing unusual happened.
As his knowledge of various worlds grew, Lin An also knew the Abyss World was extremely distant from Earth, so far it could be called another world.
Gradually, he stopped worrying about it.
But upon reflection, Linjiang holds many mysteries he still hasn't figured out.
(Long ago, probably when Long An was just founded, I had a feeling something had appeared on Fengming Road…)
His brows knit tight, Lin An rapidly pieced together the chaotic information in his mind, trying to judge what had really happened here.
He had also wanted to revisit Fengming Road before, but for the same reason he never had the chance to attend to it.
"Hospital… Black Dragon… the little guy said a mysterious person forcibly broke its egg… Fengming Road from 97 to 91…"
"Ring… Abyss aura… something had been secretly watching me and then vanished…"
"It's appeared again, and clearly it's a dragon clan aura… Is it coming for Black Dragon? But it seems not to know the way… Or perhaps it doesn't know the hospital has a passage? Is the passage sealed?"
Lin An's eyes flickered as he silently gazed at the space before him.
It's a bit tricky.
If it truly is an Abyss Passage, Earth's troubles just got big.
It's as if we're looking at a monster from another world through another dimension.
He didn't know how far the Abyss World's coordinates were from Earth—maybe tens of light‑years, maybe hundreds!
But in higher dimensions, perhaps they're separated only by a sheet of paper, and the two sides may already be overlapping!
"You…"
"Can't you break it?"
For some reason, Lin An, as if possessed, slowly raised his right hand and reached forward.
Though the two could absolutely not touch, in that instant the huge entity hidden beyond space suddenly sensed him and lunged forward.
"Thud!!"
He abruptly pulled his hand back.
Lin An's face changed slightly; in his Omniscient Vision, a black point almost undetectable suddenly appeared in midair.
Damn it!?
The thing behind it gave him a far stronger sensation than it did the little guy!
It was tearing open the space barrier between the Abyss and Earth!?
