Backup Plan
"You mean getting out through those spatial rifts?" Xu Huo was surprised by his audacity.
Shi Sanjiu smiled. "You've seen the spatial rifts in the city center. They're relatively stable already. If we enter the game, they should be even more stable."
"Spatial rifts and spatial portals are basically the same thing. The difference is how long they stay open and how stable they are. As long as we can find a relatively safe spatial rift, escaping through it shouldn't be a problem."
"A spatial rift might appear for only an instant. How can we tell what's on the other side in such a short time? It's not like it'll conveniently connect to some peaceful district," Xu Huo said.
Even if a spatial rift could lead to another district, what were the odds of choosing one and making it through?
Besides, no one had said the passage beyond a spatial rift would be safe.
The proposal sounded pretty far-fetched.
But Shi Sanjiu then took out a triangular device. It was made entirely of metal, with no screen.
Shi Sanjiu let go, and the triangular device floated on its own. The metal on it began to flow, and the corner pointing toward the city center started growing forward.
The triangle, which had originally been about as wide as a palm, stretched into a long, thin shape.
"This device can detect whether there's stable space nearby. When it starts extending, that means the space it's pointing toward is relatively safe. The longer it extends, the shorter the passage that might lie between here and the other space. Its color matters too. Look at how the inside resembles flowing sand as it changes. If it keeps its original color, that means no other forces have entered the spatial passage. If it
