After several spatial jumps and traversals, Hong Fei arrived on Sakaar.
Aside from the city's rather distinctive architectural style, the general environment was fairly similar to Earth's.
If not for the scattered circular holes beyond the city—gray, black, and blue—hanging across the sky, it would have been no different from Earth.
Trash from all over the universe continuously poured from those holes, forming streaks of black and gray.
On one side of the city, an even larger spatial rift nearly touched the ground. Layers of dense red matter had gathered beneath it, and it looked extremely dangerous.
Hong Fei appeared at the edge of the city, where garbage already covered the ground.
Simply standing there, he could hear the clamor coming from within the city.
A particularly tall building stood there, its appearance equally unlike anything on Earth.
Not far from him, a group of scavengers spotted him. They froze for a moment, silently exchanged glances, then spread out and began circling Hong Fei.
"Let me ask you something." Hong Fei suddenly turned to the people approaching him.
Caught off guard by his sudden question, they stopped. Like thieves caught by the owner of the thing they were stealing, their bodies stiffened involuntarily.
Their companions in the other directions also came to a halt.
Hong Fei smiled, raised a projection of Thor, and asked, "Have you seen this man?"
The group instinctively looked over, and their expressions abruptly changed.
The scavenger facing Hong Fei nodded. "I have!"
"Tell me everything."
