Ran Handong took Zhao Layue into the Hidden Web, but instead of entering that room, they held a secret conversation in the Ferris Wheel.
Zhong Lizi stood behind Zhao Layue with Big One in her arms and watched the entire conversation.
With the information from both sides pieced together, Jing Jiu's current circumstances took on a rough, hazy outline.
To keep the other side from detecting any traces, they quickly ended the conversation.
Zhao Layue brought up the star chart, found the Scorpion Tail Nebula, and studied it carefully for a while. Her gaze finally settled on the Asteroid Belt at the edge of the Beyond the Mist Star System.
The intelligence Ran Handong provided went only that far. There was nothing more.
"That area is sealed off. Nobody can get through," Zhong Lizi reminded her.
Indeed, even though Zhao Layue was an immortal who had ascended and could cross the galaxy with Liu A'da in her arms, she still had no way to pass through the curvature-rate voids.
The military only needed to close the entrance to the curvature-rate void in the Scorpion Tail Nebula to cut off the two sides. Closing such an entrance had enormous consequences. Something so momentous had happened only a few times in the history of the Galaxy Alliance, always at dangerous moments when the monsters of the Dark Matter Sea surged forth like a tide. There had been no recent news of an invasion from the Dark Matter Sea, which meant Jing Jiu must be over there.
"I'll wait for him here," Zhao Layue said.
Watching her expression, Zhong Lizi asked curiously, "Aren't you worried?"
"Not too much," Zhao Layue said.
And so Zhao Layue and Big One settled into the apartment. Thinking carefully about this actually invited many interesting associations.
