This was a spacetime jump.
The "non-rigid connection" between the "Gray Blue Eye" Demi-Plane and that so-called "Deep Unstable Plane" became very rigid at this moment.
The localized collapse of the "crustal plate" had fully taken shape. When the considerable mass of the spacetime structure on the other side pressed down, the originally smooth-running "Earth Core" structure on this side inevitably seized up.
Then, in that frozen instant, figures tore through the already fragile spacetime barrier and broke in.
In their own words...
"Ahaha, we're back!"
Ronan did not see that person directly. He only heard the excited laughter from around the bend in the corridor, along with the corresponding aura of heat like raging flames.
There were still roughly a dozen meters between them.
It was also at this moment that screams rang out from over there, along with a figure fleeing out.
But the person who ran out had only just slammed into the wall of the corridor on this side and tried to use the impact to turn when his entire body burst into flames.
Judging from his clothes, he was a staff member of this area.
The staff who had been hurrying back and forth through the corridor scattered with a roar, fleeing away from the area where the voices and firelight were coming from.
The chain of cause and effect was clear, but Ronan found it a little strange: was there no defensive setup here?
At almost the same time, warning lights finally lit up across the area, and multiple isolation doors in the corridor began to descend slowly.
All the fleeing staff had to do was pass through as many safety doors as possible and put distance between themselves and that dangerous area.
This method was very passive, and very strange.
However, amid the
