Chapter 290: Chapter 289: The Cursed Death Harbor (Part 3)

Perhaps for ordinary people like Kuliya, Nanali, and Ogrande, the sight here of bones scattered everywhere might seem terrifying, but for Fang Zheng, this was very abnormal!

As a Paladin of the Sanctuary, Fang Zheng naturally also learned some knowledge about Undead Creatures from the Sanctuary. So, in Fang Zheng’s view, although this place was named Soul Bay, in fact, it lacked even a trace of undead aura.

This was very unusual.

According to the records of the Sanctuary, generally speaking, places where people have died violently would harbor resentment, and might even give rise to Vengeful Spirits and shaded souls. This was also why, oftentimes, Undead Creatures would emerge from mass graves or cemeteries. And according to this pattern, Soul Bay should, at the very least, be crawling with Ghouls everywhere, and Undead Creatures should be running amok. After all, tens of thousands had died here in a frenzied massacre; it would indeed be strange if there were no Necromancer beings.

And now, Fang Zheng had indeed seen a ghost.

Because there really were no Necromancer beings here, he couldn’t even feel a slight hint of necromantic presence; to Fang Zheng, Soul Bay felt like an outdoor set that had been cleaned thoroughly, and those bones scattered on the ground seemed more like props made of plaster for a performance.

“Nymph, are you sure this isn’t just another illusion?”

Although Fang Zheng had cast the True Knowledge Technique again, for safety’s sake, he still turned to Nymph and asked, and Nymph nodded her head.

“Yes, master, there are no signs that the information here has been tampered with, and I haven’t detected any magic fluctuations.”

That was strange, where had all the thousands of Vengeful Spirits who died here gone? Could it be they retired because a century had passed?

Of course, that was impossible. Fang Zheng had only heard that the longer the time, the more powerful the Vengeful Spirits become; he had never seen Vengeful Spirits retire due to age and go home—come to think of it, do spirits even have a retirement age?

“Then what was that sound we heard?”

“Sound?”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s question, Nymph paused, then Fang Zheng saw the Little Angel reach out and press on what looked like rectangular headphones on her ears. Soon, a series of Radiance flickered past, and then the Little Angel looked towards Fang Zheng with confusion.

“I didn’t hear any sound, master. There are no abnormal fluctuations within the detectable sound range.”

“What?”

Upon hearing Nymph’s response, Fang Zheng was startled and quickly slowed his pace, vigilantly watching his surroundings. He certainly didn’t think there was a problem with the Little Angel; as an artificially created Omnipotent Angel, Nymph had demonstrated her formidable abilities more than once. Although the Little Angel had almost no advantage in head-to-head combat, as a top-tier product of the most advanced technology from Synapsus, her capabilities in this regard were indeed exceptional.

And now, if they all heard that sound, but Nymph didn’t hear it at all?

This could only mean one thing, the sound was targeting living beings only!

“Can you search more thoroughly?”

“Of course.”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s command, the Little Angel again pressed her ears, then circles of light emerged in her eyes, beginning to rotate rapidly.

“Initiating comprehensive detection scanning mode… determining and analyzing multi-dimensional spaces…”

While murmuring to herself, the Little Angel’s eyes slowly looked around. After a moment, the circles of light in her eyes finally disappeared, then she furrowed her brows, showing a puzzled expression.

“Master, I now understand what the problem is.”

“Oh?”

“According to the scan results, the space we are in is located in the middle of a discontinuous space fault. If I’m not mistaken, the sounds you heard are probably continuous signals coming from another space. Because these signals match the bio-waves, you were able to hear them. Let me just adjust the frequency slightly…”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng saw the strange white rectangular object on Little Angel’s ears flash again with multicolored radiance, and soon, Nymph’s complexion returned to normal.

“…like this, I can also pick up the signals you heard.”

“…Sorry, I didn’t understand. Can you explain it in a simpler and more understandable way?”

Although Fang Zheng could vaguely guess and comprehend a little of what Little Angel said, he hoped that Little Angel would consider that they were not graduates from the Synapsus University of Black Tech, and offer something like a “Three-minute Little Angel Teaches You About Anomalous Spaces” public science tutorial.

“This means… the Soul Bay where we currently are, in fact, is not the real Soul Bay.”

Little Angel did not disappoint and quickly provided the answer.

“Indeed, the Soul Bay we are currently in is merely a projection of a Soul Bay from another world, not the real world. The real Soul Bay is hidden within a spatial rift, which is difficult for ordinary people to notice. The voices come from that real Soul Bay, perhaps due to the temporal disarray within the spatial rift, or possibly some other reason, allowing them to transmit to this world. The frequency of these voices matches that of bio-frequency, that’s why you could hear them.”

So that was it!

Hearing this, Tilia and Black Katie showed expressions of semi-understanding, but Fang Zheng suddenly realized and immediately grasped the meaning that Little Angel was trying to convey.

For example, if the Soul Bay of this world is compared to a magazine cover, what Fang Zheng and the others currently saw was not the original cover of that magazine, but rather, someone had cut out the same cover from another Soul Bay magazine and pasted it over it, hiding the real cover. This explained why the place seemed to be filled with bones, yet Fang Zheng felt no aura of the Necromancer. Because the Soul Bay they were in was just a projection from a parallel world’s Soul Bay!

Can you taste a real chicken leg from a 3D holographic image? Of course not.

The question then arises, who would go to such lengths to hide the original magazine cover and even bother to stick a new cover on it?

The only reason must be that the original cover was hiding some unspeakable secrets!

“Was the illusion technique in that sea area earlier for the same reason?”

“Essentially similar, only the compatibility was higher here, so I didn’t notice at first…”

“Good.”

Pleased with Nymph’s response, Fang Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then thought for a moment, and looked towards Little Angel again.

“Do we have a way to enter it?” ƒгeewebnovёl_com

“It might be a bit difficult…”

Facing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, Nymph furrowed her brows, closed her eyes, and her hands fluttered in the air as if she was searching for something. After a moment, Little Angel finally gave her response.

“This projection and the original space almost overlap, making it tough to forcibly open it. However, if we can get to the core location that produced this projection, I could try to hack the magic item and control it to open the entrance.”

“So, where’s the core location?”

“Right ahead.”

As she spoke, Nymph stretched out her hand, pointing forward.
