Huang Ji chatted with Kabuli from the Anunnaki Corporation, then left at ease.
Kabuli already had a suspect in mind for the mysterious Nature Disruptor. It was probably an insider!
As for where he had gone, given that the Solar System's wormhole had no record of his departure, Kabuli could only assume he had left by interstellar flight.
Travel through a wormhole was called wormhole travel. Flying directly through the space between stars was called interstellar flight.
Without the ability to exceed light speed, almost no one would choose the latter's long route, unless they were fleeing or hiding.
Pursuing someone flying through interstellar space was simply too difficult. As long as they emitted no light, they could head in any direction through that vast vacuum, and who would know where they had gone? Even a single ecliptic plane offered 360 degrees of possible directions. This went far beyond a tiny initial error leading to a vast discrepancy. A one-degree deviation in pursuit could produce a gap of tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or trillions of kilometers across that boundless emptiness, growing ever greater with distance.
There were countless routes to choose from in every direction. Unless the target could be detected, pursuit was meaningless, harder than finding a needle in the ocean.
That made interstellar flight the first choice for fugitives.
Of course, fleeing into interstellar space did not mean ending up in the middle of nowhere. There were plenty of shady establishments and lawless cities out there...
Countless criminals often hid in the pitch-black regions where there were no stars.
They lurked in the darkness, even building fortresses, artificial planets, and "black wormholes."
Black wormholes specifically referred to wormholes with no searchable records, private wormholes acquired through illicit dealings.
They were often built in the dark, empty
