Chapter 225

"Krosten Town, is this the place where you traveled through time?"

Sakura glanced at the church on the mountain, then looked at Bai Yan with a strange expression.

Her companion, Vill-V, also had a gleam in her eyes.

She had remained silent the whole way, but once she arrived here, she suddenly became restless.

"It's Parallel World."

Bai Yan said with a stern face.

"..."

Sakura didn't argue; she simply stayed close to him and followed him to the church on the mountain.

As they arrived at the main gate, Misterin suddenly descended from the sky.

Everyone watched as she slowly landed.

Neither side seemed to find anything wrong with this unusual way of making an entrance.

"Slower than expected,"

Bai Yan asked, "Did you run into someone you know?"

"No, it's just that Bronya is too outstanding. What she can do after her complete transformation has far exceeded my expectations."

"As for me, I actually checked the Stigmata Space first."

"The one in the plan?"

"Right!"

"Cough cough,"

Vill-V, who had been silent until now, suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Um, could you elaborate on the issue of spacetime?"

"If even a scientist like you needs to ask questions, what can an illiterate person like me say?"

"That sounds reasonable, but let me think about how to refute you,"

Vill-V stroked her chin thoughtfully for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she snapped her fingers, saying, "Please explain your understanding from a philosophical perspective."

The others all looked at Bai Yan.

"Alright, let's talk as we walk. To put it simply, ever since I came back, I've suspected that the point in time when I last saw Otto was the answer."

"But after carefully recalling the various parts of my life, I became convinced that it was the beginning, the reason."

"Otto sacrificed himself to alter a point in time in the world, thus showing me a case of humanity influencing spacetime."

"Then Kiana interfered halfway through, disrupting my original plan."

At this point, the group arrived at the spot where the entrance had once appeared.

Bai Yan suddenly stopped.

The moment he arrived here, he clearly felt the flow of power within his body suddenly accelerate.

"What's wrong?"

Jingliu asked the question first.

"The situation is slightly unusual, but overall it's a good thing."

Jingliu felt relieved for the time being.

Then, Bai Yan stretched out a hand toward the location Remembrance.

Buzz!

The passage reopened, but Bai Yan could clearly sense that it was significantly different from the one that had opened before.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned to the crowd and said, "Let's go in."

273: Btngtnhhung.

Chapter 273 Unexpected Situation.

One by one, the group stepped through the entrance.

However, the moment Bai Yan stepped in, the scene before him suddenly distorted.

The presence of those around him had also vanished.

Even at this moment, he remained calm, despite all his senses telling him that something was wrong with this space.

He stood still, without moving.

After an unknown amount of time, the distortion gradually subsided, and everything before my eyes became clearer.

"They've all disappeared. It seems the distortion in this space is completely beyond what's normal... Let's investigate first, hopefully the reason is the same as my guess..."

I focused my thoughts, tried not to think about other random things, and just kept moving forward.

I only came in to check on the situation, but I never expected such an unexpected turn of events.

The scene before me finally froze into complete darkness.

Bai Yan could only continue forward by relying on his intuition.

Until, a glimmer of light appeared.

"Finally, we've got a clue?"

I glanced at it and continued on my way.

But he soon discovered that the light was actually coming towards him as well.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't a light, but rather Ragna in armor.

"Xiaoyan?"

"Professor Ragna ..."

She looked relieved, then carefully examined Bai Yan's face.

After a moment she said, "It seems you didn't do it."

Bai Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Why do you think it isn't?"

Ragna smiled mysteriously, "Xiao Yan never shows up after doing something bad, how could he possibly return to the scene?"

"Oh..."

"Tell me, how did you get in?"

"I went to Kolosten to see the place where I clashed with Kiana. After all, I'm not the same person I was before, so I thought I might make some different discoveries."

"Is it related to the plan you're currently implementing?"

"There aren't any left."

Bai Yan shook his head.

The two remained silent for a while.

Ragna broke the silence first.

Let's walk together for a while.

"Good."

In the pitch-black space, only the sounds of the two people moving could be heard.

The darkness made the space seem extremely small, but the seemingly endless road also suggested its vastness.

"Speaking of which, the first time I met Xiaoyan, I almost bumped into the Herrscher of the Void. It was really dangerous. Actually, at that time, I felt that Xiaoyan might be my lucky star."

Ragna's face lit up with reminiscence.

"If it weren't for Teacher Ragna, I, at only eight years old, would have had a very difficult time leaving Siberia, and things might have turned out very badly."

"Haha... Later you met Bianca, but she was furious when you rejected her. But knowing her personality, she couldn't think of a reason to blame you, so she just sulked and didn't know how to vent her anger."

"Actually, I understand. She's just upset that you're not a good friend. You piqued her interest, but then rejected her."

Ragna shook his head, amused. "Just like a jerk, hahaha!"

"... She always has this illusion that if I can explain the principles, I can definitely do it. If things continue like this, she'll soon see me on the list of the dead."

"Yes—so, what's the reason this time?"

Ragna changed the subject and asked.

Bai Yan sighed and said, "If you see her, please pass on a message for me. I didn't make this choice because I lost hope, but because I saw a greater hope."

"Seriously?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Ragna was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "I will convey your message. And I support you, although I can no longer offer you any substantial help."

Bai Yan nodded.

Having come this far, there's no way I can give up.

Ragna was willing to support herself simply because she believed in herself.

Everything in the past is the source of trust.

"Speaking of which, why did Professor Ragna come here?"

"This matter is rather complicated, so I'll put it simply."

Ragna said somewhat helplessly, "Bronya led us into the fictional world she created, and after finding Bianca and Kiana, we fought a battle with your people."

"Then Kiana, Mei, and Bronya somehow managed to get us all out of there."

"I had already returned to headquarters, but as soon as I landed, I found that everything in front of me was distorted, and my mind became blurred."

"When I came to my senses, I found myself standing here."

"However, since Xiaoyan said you came in through the entrance in Kolosten, I think this is probably the place that Bishop Otto prepared, but I don't know what went wrong."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan began to ponder.

Seeing this, Ragna waited patiently to the side.

After a while, Bai Yan looked up.

"I roughly understand the situation now. I'd like to try and see if I can get Professor Ragna out first."

"What's the meaning?"

Ragna was taken aback.

"It was my mistake. I didn't expect you to be implicated."

Bai Yan helplessly shrugged, "The methods those three used will ultimately lead to getting closer to the cocoon."

"Since you don't possess the relevant traits, forcing you into this role will inevitably lead to problems."

"I thought you would return the way you came, but I didn't expect you to end up here and get stuck in some kind of rut."

"It seems that our initial caution was somewhat unnecessary."

Ragna was completely confused.

After much thought, she finally came up with a question, "If that's the case, why are you also trapped in this pitch-black space?"

"Then you'll have to ask Jian, since this place isn't something I can fully understand."

"All right."

Bai Yan nodded and said, "Then I'll try to get you out of here. If you notice anything amiss, remember to let me know."

"Um."

Then he closed his eyes and channeled another power within his body.

Although his eyes were tightly closed, at the moment this power was mobilized, he "saw" another scene.

Platform, tracks, signs...

Without much thought, Bai Yan began to lock onto Ragna.

She "saw" the latter, but at this moment she was enveloped within some kind of barrier.
