Chen Fan suddenly shivered.

Communication link? Cross-universe ultra-long-distance transmission?

What the hell?

What is all this stuff?!

Although his consciousness was somewhat blurry at this moment, he instinctively realized the problem.

A deep sense of unease rose in Chen Fan's heart.

Before he could think further, the obscure whispers, which were barely bearable before, suddenly amplified.

It was as if tens of thousands of radios were simultaneously emitting signal loss noise right next to his ears!

An even stronger sense of dizziness swept over him!

The next second.

Amidst a familiar, strong sensation of falling, Chen Fan completely lost consciousness.

In the dark, silent universe, a black hole was silently devouring everything around it.

Around it, an accretion disk formed by a large amount of plasma matter emitted dazzling light as it continuously rotated and fell.

At the center of the light was a profound darkness.

Under the black hole's powerful gravity, even light itself could not escape from it.

It was the most supreme celestial body in the universe, and no substance could resist its power—

Theoretically, that was the case.

In reality... this extreme celestial body, which should have dominated the universe, had already become a "plaything" confined in a cage.

"Cables" made of unknown materials intertwined, weaving into a massive spherical cage that firmly bound the black hole and its surrounding accretion disk within it.

The camera continuously zoomed in. Beside this cage, a massive structure in the shape of a Mobius strip was quietly operating.

The intense radiation and powerful gravity around the black hole had no effect on this colossal structure, which was larger than most stars in the universe.

The Dangerous Technology Administration, under the Pan-Universal Human Alliance, was located within this magnificent colossal structure.

"Signal strength shows abnormal fluctuations!"

"Cross-universe ultra-long-distance transmission encountered an unknown error, unable to open a wormhole!!"

Inside the building, researchers in white coats looked anxious, loudly reporting the alarm information popping up on the holographic projection.

Morr gazed calmly at the vast azure holographic image in front of the command center, a hint of anxiety and panic also showing in his eyes.

"Immediately stabilize the signal!"

"The last signal transmitted back by the TE913 Research Ship was in this area!"

Morr ordered in a deep voice, "We finally found a signal in the same frequency band. Regardless of whether the other party is the TE913 Research Ship, no matter what method is used, we must contact this signal source today!"

As soon as his words fell, a flash of bright red appeared on the azure holographic projection, followed by a piercing alarm sound.

"Director, signal completely lost!!"

"Currently unable to search for the target signal!"

Hearing this, Morr's face immediately turned grim.

The TE913 Research Ship had done the same thing back then, losing contact with the Dangerous Technology Administration in just a brief moment.

He took a deep breath, calming the anxiety and unease in his heart. "Academician Song, do you have any clues?"

Facing Morr's question, the researcher hesitated for a moment, then responded in a low voice, "Combining the data transmitted back by the TE913 Research Ship before it lost contact and the latest observation information, we suspect there is a Cosmic Bubble with a complex structure in this area."

Morr was startled. "You mean..."

"The signal source and the TE913 Research Ship might have fallen into a Cosmic Bubble that hasn't been discovered by the Human Alliance yet?"

In the Human Alliance's research, the universe was seen as individual "small bubbles" scattered in five-dimensional space.

These "small bubbles," called Cosmic Bubbles, were randomly distributed on a hyperspace membrane that spanned the entire five-dimensional space.

And the TE913 Research Ship was precisely a scientific research vessel with five-dimensional navigation capabilities.

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, if a research ship in a five-dimensional navigation state is compared to a ship sailing on the sea, then Cosmic Bubbles are independent bubbles attached to the seabed.

Facing Morr's question, Academician Song raised his hand to adjust the glasses on his nose, then nodded with a serious expression. "Theoretically, yes."

Morr's heart sank: The target falling into an unknown Cosmic Bubble with a complex structure meant that the difficulty of establishing contact with them would greatly increase!

"Regardless, first perform coordinate dimensionality reduction conversion." Morr composed himself and gave the order. "The signal source just disappeared, so the coordinates won't have shifted too much."

Academician Song nodded, returned to his seat, and began inputting the relevant information.

Performing dimensionality reduction conversion on high-dimensional coordinates was an extremely tedious and complex task, far beyond human capability!

But for the main brain of the Dangerous Technology Administration, this conversion work was not complicated.

In just a few tens of seconds, a string of complex numbers appeared on the vast holographic projection in front.

This is the four-dimensional coordinate of the signal source from just now!

"Four-dimensional coordinate: No corresponding signal detected!"

As a warning sign popped up on the projection, Academician Song's calm voice came from the side: "Starting three-dimensional coordinate conversion now..."

Morr's eyelids drooped slightly, concealing the unease deep within his eyes.

"Found it!"

Along with a crisp notification sound, Academician Song's tone instantly rose a notch: "Comparison complete, target confirmed as the original signal source."

"Coordinates re-localized!"

"Restart inter-universal transmission!"

"Hoo!"

Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily with a look of horror.

Obscure whispers seemed to still echo in his ears, and a slight dizziness came from his mind.

"Was that... a dream just now?"

Chen Fan put his hands behind his back and touched his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

A slightly cool breeze blew in from the open wooden window, taking away some of the residual warmth from his body.

He shivered and subconsciously looked up at the wall.

Dim starlight shone through the window onto the painting. The deity in the painting, as always, looked down at him with a condescending attitude – without any surprise, he was still in this terrible, bizarre world.

Chen Fan sighed helplessly, letting go of that inexplicable trace of expectation in his heart.

"What inter-universal transmission..."

Chen Fan chuckled self-mockingly, raised his hand, and gently patted his slightly flushed cheeks: "Truly insane..."

Muttering to himself, he lay back down on the somewhat uncomfortable bed board.

Suddenly.

A faint light burst out by his bed without any warning!

The soft light quickly dispelled the darkness in the room, and at the same time attracted Chen Fan's gaze.

He widened his slightly bloodshot eyes and moved his dry, cracked lips, but made no sound.

Facing this sudden event beyond his comprehension, he seemed to be able to only stand there in a daze, acting as a bystander.
