At the sound of Xu Huo's voice, Sparrow carefully cracked the door open. Only after confirming it was him did she let him in.
"What happened just now?" she asked impatiently. "Did you discover something?"
"No," Xu Huo replied. "I just felt a fluctuation in space, but by the time I went over, nothing had happened."
That wasn't the truth. In reality, he had sensed a force of Space Power rapidly approaching them, so he'd left the basement without hesitation. But things hadn't unfolded as he expected: all six of Sparrow's group had made it safely into the Small Compartment.
The force had come and gone in an instant. He'd first sent down a small device, then returned to the basement, only to find that three of the six people had disappeared.
"They went in one after another, and the three vanished right after they entered," Sparrow explained. "They probably ended up in another space."
Earlier, she had also seen unfamiliar Players and Players she recognized emerge from the same room one after another. If they could come out that way, then it was possible to enter different spaces, too.
She looked Xu Huo up and down before adding, "The Small Compartment isn't very stable either. How about we meet up with Wang Xin and the others first?"
"We'll talk once we're upstairs," Xu Huo said with a nod.
They headed upstairs. They didn't run into any other Players before reaching the ground floor. Wang Xin and Yue Yan'er were waiting with the door open, and when they heard Xu Huo still planned to look around upstairs, they came along as well.
"Shouldn't someone stay behind to guard the door?" Sparrow asked. "What if we can't find an empty Small Compartment later?"
Breaking one open by force was definitely out
