Chapter 186

It was only after that crack appeared that the hidden dangers within the company were exposed, something that had never happened before.

A brief silence filled the monitoring room, broken only by the low hum of the equipment.

Angela's gaze returned to the box containing the photos, her eyes sharpening as she looked directly at their essence.

She exhaled softly, breaking the silence, her voice regaining its usual calm.

"Supervisor, you're right. The clue is very likely in the crack itself."

"The emergence of these spatial rifts is inextricably linked to the company's unpredictable three-day teleportation mechanism. Frequent, cross-world spatial jumps have gradually torn apart the company's internal spatial structure, leading to the creation of these rifts."

"That's what I originally thought..."

Angela said, frowning slightly, "But it seems that this internal rift isn't actually within the company's system. It's something that's intruded, a strange thing that shouldn't exist in the company. Perhaps this rift has existed even longer than the company itself."

Angela and Xiao Huasheng are actually less than a year old, and they were born not long ago, so it's not impossible that the rift is older than them.

She continued.

"Following this line of reasoning, the appearance of this thing hidden behind the cracks, which even I was unaware of, must also be directly related to these cracks and this unstable spatial state."

Angela looked at Xiao Huasheng, her eyes gleaming with analysis.

"It may be a native inhabitant that has been lurking in the cracks of the company space, disturbed or exposed by the activity of the rift, or it may be an outsider that has infiltrated from some dimension or world that we do not yet know through the rift. But in any case, its existence is already deeply bound to our company, and the cost of removing this rift is higher than we thought."

Angela's original goal was to repair the rift and break the rule that everyone would be teleported back to the Foundation World every three days.

At the same time, it directly shuts down the passage to the Library world, killing two birds with one stone.

But it's as if they've set up an anchor point in the Foundation World; no matter how they move, they'll eventually return to the Foundation's world.

That strange and powerful world... firmly bound the two of them.

Just like sheep, even if the flock can escape the pen and gain temporary freedom, they will eventually be driven back into the pen.

This time, an unexpected incident occurred, causing them to be transported back to the Foundation World within three days. Instead, they ended up in the unrelated Ark World...

Perhaps, breaking with convention is the reason for this eye, and even the appearance of the slit?

The two had many guesses, but Angela eventually interrupted this fruitless brainstorming session.

"In short, I need to investigate further; to my knowledge, I have absolutely no information on this matter."

An unknown clouded their minds; they still didn't know what it was.

Just when this matter seemed to have come to an end.

Rumble!!!

The entire Lobotomy Corporation suddenly trembled violently!

The seams in the walls emitted a teeth-grinding metallic creak, and the overhead lights flickered on and off.

Xiao Huasheng stumbled and nearly fell, quickly grabbing the control panel beside him to steady himself. He looked at Angela in shock. "What happened?! Angela! What's going on?!"

Angela also lost her usual composure, quickly operating the main console in an attempt to stabilize the system.

But the data displayed on the screen made her blue eyes narrow suddenly, filled with disbelief and shock.

She abruptly raised her head and looked at Xiao Huasheng. Her voice trembled slightly due to the violent shaking of the space as she uttered the conclusion that they were both very familiar with, yet which seemed particularly abrupt at this moment.

"Supervisor... it's forced teleportation! We're about to be teleported!"

"Teleportation?!" Xiao Huasheng couldn't believe it. She thought she wouldn't be teleported back again, but this day still came.

"How could that be? It hasn't even been three days yet!" Angela added, glancing quickly at the clock on the wall.

The clock hanging on the wall is the tool she uses to determine the three-day teleportation time. It resets to zero after three days, as the time on the other side is less than three days.

Countdown: 01:04:02

There was still a full hour before the jump would take place, giving Xiao Huasheng enough time to travel to Terra and check the Stargate as Kal'tsit had instructed, and find valuable information about teleportation.

But now the time has been brought forward, disrupting Angela's plans.

Volume 1: Foundation: Lobotomy Corporation Task Force is on the Move

Chapter 1: The Foundation... What happened? [2 Updates] [Refresh if duplicated]

She had originally planned to let Xiao Huasheng leisurely finish all the candies from Lungmen, then spend half an hour chatting in the company, and finally dedicate an hour to investigating Stargate.

Contrary to expectations, Angela's precise time management failed her because she ran out of time!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The company began to tremble violently, right at the cracked operating table.

Iris lay down, directly under the table, with her hands covering her head.

The rift before her widened during the jump, and the blood-red eye within, visible only to two Angel, gazed upon the trembling company.

That huge, bloodshot, blood-red eye with pupils shrunk to pinpoints was once again clearly visible.

This time, it is no longer a static image existing in a photograph, but a living, breathing entity embedded in the trembling spatial rift.

What's even more chilling is that those emotionless eyes seem to pierce through all the physical barriers of the company, fixing their gaze firmly on Xiao Huasheng and Angela in the monitoring room!

An indescribable, extremely intense feeling of being watched instantly permeated the two Angel's entire bodies like ice water.

Both Angel clearly realized that it was watching them.

Xiao Huasheng and Angela instantly turned to look at the direction of the rift, their expressions tensing up at the same moment!

Under the gaze of that eye, the vibrations and clamor of the entire space seemed to become insignificant background noise.

A sense of awe and dread, stemming from an innate life force and a fear of something incomprehensible, gripped their hearts.

At the very last moment of the teleportation, Iris, who was very close to the rift, seemed to hear a strange whisper.

"Robbler..."

"Hmm." Iris was stunned. Why was the word "robber" used so vaguely?

She wanted to look up, but before she could, the company completed its leap forward.

The shaking in the company gradually stopped, and the crack gradually shrank, but it was still slightly larger than before.

At this moment, the countdown on the clock hanging on the wall stopped, because we had returned to the Foundation World.

Therefore, this is no longer needed.

After being thoroughly scrutinized by intense malice.

Two Angel stood inside the monitoring room.

What's this...

Xiao Huasheng stood frozen in place, his pupils trembling slightly.

Angela gazed into the distance in the direction of the rift.

The red-haired Angel unconsciously took half a step closer to the blue-haired secretary.

The blue-haired Angel unconsciously took half a step closer to the red-haired supervisor.

Their pale faces reflected the same fear; they looked at each other in silence.

In any case, what's inside this fissure must not be left; it must be dealt with.

As Wei Yenwu said, once a person becomes powerful and stands out, countless troubles will come their way, whether they want them or not.

Wanting to farm peacefully is truly an unbelievable idea.

Inside the company, the two Angel, in a friendly exchange, unleashed a torrent of abuse on the eye before finally calming their nerves.

At this moment, Xiao Huasheng also returned to the real world.

But this Foundation World has become slightly different.

She was in a small alley.

"Wait, what's happening in the Foundation World again?" Xiao Huasheng had a vague feeling that something was off.

[Let's take another look. Why is the teleportation location off?] Angela also felt that more and more strange things were happening.

This time, Xiao Huasheng was smarter. She turned off her Cognitive Filter and peeked out from the alley to observe the crowd outside.

The slug-like black things were still on the crowd, but they were much less active than before.

In the past, if Xiao Huasheng had looked at them like that, they would probably have already stuck to his face.

However, the color of the sky remained unchanged, still a deep blue.

The Foundation must have solved quite a few of these problems, right? But that's hard to explain in relation to Xiao Huasheng being teleported here.

Generally speaking, wherever she was teleported away, she will return to the same place.

However, the recent teleportations have been quite unusual, therefore

Suppressing his nausea, Xiao Huasheng shut down his Cognitive Filter.

She took out the white lab coat that the Foundation had given her from the company, put it on, hung up her name tag, and swaggered out.

It's okay, as long as she keeps wandering around like this, the Foundation will definitely notice her soon.

Xiao Huasheng was quite satisfied with the Foundation's work efficiency.

A major incident is taking place at a Foundation facility.

The footage shown in the surveillance camera also indicates that today's 173 is completely different from the past.

Through discussions with researchers, the Foundation ultimately reached a conclusion.

Entity-173 appears to be in a state of frenzy, and its power will successfully breach the steel doors of the containment chamber in two hours.

This is already a very urgent situation.

The Mobile Task Force also set off quickly, without the slightest delay.

The female manager inside the facility, 'Ku Tang,' bit her finger, her eyes fixed on the screen.

Beside her, her son, 'Jin Li,' stared blankly at the screen, while the white-haired boy brought coffee to her side.

"Supervisor, what's the situation here?"

"Not very optimistic. Go back to your post." 'Ku Tang' said, scolding 'Jin Li' as he returned to his position.

Why did 173 exhibit unusual behavior? Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a short while.

This change disappeared, and the sculpture returned to its blank, forward-facing pose.

Seeing this, the supervisor, 'Ku Tang,' finally breathed a sigh of relief. She released her grip on her fingers and touched her nasolabial folds with relief.

"That really startled me..."

'Jin Li' witnessed an unusual event.

Is a Foundation researcher with an aura of prestige wandering around outside in work clothes?

In any case, the facilities need to keep an eye on that side.

On the other side, the red-haired Angel was humming happily as she walked, completely unaware of the special task force approaching from behind.

The team leader was none other than the female captain, 'Ai Er Lan', whose current objective was to contain the anomalies outside.

After confirming that Xiao Huasheng was not aggressive, the task force immediately took action.

Before she could react...

The task force immediately covered her mouth and, without a word, stuffed the petite red-haired Angel into a sack.

They tied Xiao Huasheng up on the spot and took him back.

This prompted Xiao Huasheng to loudly complain.

"Can you be a little gentler? You all know me!"

"Um?"

The woman, Ai Er Lan, raised an eyebrow in confusion, but without saying a word, she packed her up and took her away.
