Quantum Realm

Oh no!

Realizing that what he was seeing was different from the basic operation of the Ant-Man suit shown in the movie, Li Congxin's heart suddenly leaped into his throat.

Calm down! Must stay calm at this moment!

Li Congxin carefully recalled the scenes in the movie. It seemed the basic operation of the Ant-Man suit was that the button in the tiger's mouth on his right hand made him shrink, and the one on his left hand made him grow.

That's right, it's like this!

He acted as soon as he thought of it. Li Congxin immediately raised his left hand and pressed the red button in the tiger's mouth that made him grow: "Grow bigger for me!"

However, this was completely useless!

"Bigger, smaller, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."

After repeated attempts, there was still no change. His body continued to shrink, and the smaller he got, the larger even microorganisms like tardigrades appeared in his eyes, eventually becoming too large to see.

The scenery around him became increasingly dreamlike and illusory...

Is this... the Quantum Realm!?

"Hope betrayed me!"

As he went deeper into the Quantum Realm, Li Congxin's consciousness began to blur, just like the two Ant-Men in the movie.

Li Congxin felt like he had been utterly screwed. He just wanted to show off in the Ant-Man suit, and he ended up directly in the Quantum Realm.

Suddenly, Li Congxin noticed what looked like a vortex similar to a black hole appearing in front of him. The vortex seemed to possess some kind of magical power; just a glance was enough to make it impossible to look away.

Just as his consciousness was no longer very clear, Li Congxin seemed to see through the vortex and glimpse a vast starry sky on the other side. It appeared to be a boundless universe, and the universe on the other side of the vortex was being slowly devoured by a terrifying black energy!

Suddenly, a red ball of light escaped to this side through the vortex, followed closely by a white ball of light, and behind the white ball of light, there was a blurry human figure.

The two light balls and the figure were moving in the opposite direction of Li Congxin's advance. The white ball of light was moving extremely fast; although it appeared later, it quickly overtook the red ball of light in front of it. It was the first to brush past Li Congxin's consciousness, followed by the red ball of light, and then the human figure.

Li Congxin felt as if the human figure, in the instant they brushed past each other, had even turned its head to look at him.

At this moment, the black energy on the other side of the circular opening seemed to have discovered that its prey had escaped. It immediately split into countless black tentacles, drilled through the opening, and began to coil towards Li Congxin's direction.

The sudden, immense danger made Li Congxin instinctively want to turn and run. However, at this moment, the Quantum Realm's influence on his mental power reached its peak, finally destroying the last shred of clarity in his mind and causing him to completely lose his basic ability to think...

Outside the Quantum Realm, on Li Congxin's bed, desk, and walls, there were no fewer than six or seven ants with cameras on their backs, staring blankly at the spot where Li Congxin had disappeared.

At the same time, on the street below, Hope drove her car around the block and returned, parking at the entrance to his building. In the car behind her sat a white-haired old man, frowning at the dozen or so surveillance screens in front of him.

"Where did that kid go? How come we can't find him after he activated the Ant-Man suit? Even the tracking device has completely failed!" The old man looked at the empty surveillance screens, his face full of disbelief. "My Ant-Man suit can only shrink people. What's going on with this sudden disappearance?"

"No way?" Hope agilely flipped over the seat and came to the car behind. After glancing at a few surveillance screens, she asked, "Could he have accidentally deactivated the controller?"

"Impossible!" The old man shook his head firmly. "I used the monitoring equipment to watch his every move. He absolutely did not touch the regulator; he just pressed the switch on his hand to change his body size. Such a simple operation would never cause a user to enter the subatomic level. Otherwise, you would have already disappeared, wouldn't you?"

Hope frowned slightly. "Could his situation be special?"

The old man was stunned. He seemed to have thought of a possibility and immediately said, "No use thinking too much. Let's go up and take a look."

Amidst a soothing melody, Li Congxin's consciousness gradually regained clarity.

This sound is...

As his consciousness gradually cleared, Li Congxin finally remembered the origin of the music in his ear.

Qing Xin Zhou!

It was a Buddhist chant. Before Li Congxin transmigrated, a devout lay Buddhist in the same office had over ten Buddhist chants stored on their phone, playing in a loop. Li Congxin had heard this "Qing Xin Zhou" no less than hundreds of times. Although he himself was not religious, he had heard it so often that he was familiar with the melody.

Could it be that his regaining consciousness was thanks to this Buddhist chant?

He opened the system interface and saw that some new content had appeared, which wasn't there before.

How did two BGMs suddenly appear in just a short while?

Qing Xin Zhou is one thing, but what's with that "???"?

Can anyone tell me what happened while I was unconscious?

As doubts filled his mind, Li Congxin suddenly felt a piercing pain throughout his body, as if thousands of steel needles were repeatedly stabbing every inch of his remaining muscles. The intense pain almost made him lose consciousness again.

Could this be a side effect of the Quantum Realm or the Ant-Man Suit?

But the original Wasp, the second Ant-Man, and the first Ant-Man in the movies had all entered the Quantum Realm without experiencing anything similar!

With no time to think, Congxin quickly searched himself. He found two small, circular projectiles, one red and one blue, in a pouch on the right side of his waist.

This is it!

Li Congxin was incredibly grateful for the significant improvement in his memory from his training, which made his recollection of the movie exceptionally vivid.

Therefore, the moment he saw these two small projectiles, he immediately thought of their functions.

The red one made things smaller, and the blue one made them larger!

In the movie, the second Ant-Man, Scott, used these to escape the Quantum Realm.

With this thought, Li Congxin immediately put the blue projectile into the controller on his waist, then forcefully pressed the red button on his tiger's mouth.

"Tiga!"
