Chapter 834: The Art of Sudden Vanishing! The Subtlety of Imaginary Space!

And every step they took might carry them into the next space; the true genius of the outer perimeter of the Ancient City of Jingjue lay in countless overlapping imaginary spaces stacked together.

It wasn't that the vines had come on their own — if Wang Kaixuan hadn't gone berserk earlier and blown them up, this kind of accident wouldn't have happened.

The reason they felt they were walking in circles, even returning to a place that looked like the one before without seeing the vines, was that this place only resembled the original.

Perhaps they had already entered another space, moving about inside different spaces until they were worn down to death — that was the true brilliance of the mechanism the Queen of Jingjue had left behind!

Though the others didn't understand, no one asked Yang Lu-si to explain anything at this moment.

Yang Lu-si stepped out first; at this moment he himself formed a line, with Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi one in front and one behind, protecting everyone in the group.

This way they could make sure no one would suddenly vanish.

Soon Yang Lu-si saw the needle shift again and stopped, mechanically turning in another direction and stepping forward.

At that moment something happened that left everyone dumbfounded — Yang Lu-si vanished into thin air right before their eyes.

Even the livestream's camera transmitted the same thing; what they saw was the exact same scene!

【Holy crap, what's going on?!】

【It's definitely an imaginary space — Mr. Zhang was right after all】

【Imaginary space I can barely wrap my head around, but Mr. Zhang said this kind of imaginary space......】

That bullet screen ended right there; what followed was only an ellipsis.

The reason it wasn't sent out was that at the very first moment he seemed to have realized it too.

Zhang Lin had said that something which both exists and does not exist does not mean it absolutely does not exist — that was the very concept of an imaginary space.

Zhang Lin had conveyed it to them in textbook language, yet had not expressed its true function.

At first it could be explained that way, and Zhang Lin believed that even if he said so the others would believe it, but it would remain only a concept; only when they witnessed the terror of this mechanism with their own eyes would they grasp the meaning he was trying to convey.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Zhang Lin's mouth curved into a smile — he knew Yang Lu-si had understood completely.

Now it all depended on whether the next people could choose quickly; if they hesitated even a little, they might forget the direction from before.

Moreover, such imaginary spaces were constantly shifting — from one perspective it could be understood as a variant of the side-chamber mechanism!

It was strikingly similar to what the first archaeology team had encountered at Wang Canghai's laboratory.

But right now these thoughts existed only in Zhang Lin's mind; he had no way to convey them to the others.

Hu Bayi, who was leading, saw this and didn't hesitate at all — there was no time left to think, for even one extra second of thought might cause them to lose their bearings.

The next moment Hu Bayi raised his arm, because he had spotted the direction from before, and said at once: "This direction — everyone, don't get it wrong. I'll go first."

Hu Bayi stepped forward without delay, and sure enough, the next instant his body vanished as well.

Those behind no longer hesitated, and before stepping through each of them raised an arm to point out the direction for the person behind them.

Young Master Zhao couldn't wait any longer and rushed forward at once — no matter how terrified he had been before, he was still full of curiosity about such inexplicable things.
