553: The law of crossing
Chapter 552: The Rule of Crossing
Before long, the carriage reached a high slope.
Chaoxing District had no skyscrapers, mostly two or three-story residential buildings. The streets were bustling with people, noisy and full of life.
The sky above Wu Luan Ancient City had no sun, moon, or even stars. The perpetual dark curtain meant it was always night here.
Putting everything else aside, Dick was certain Cecilia would love it here. After all, she was the Eternal Night Witch.
Through the carriage window, Dick gazed into the distance, but even at the limit of his vision, he couldn't see the end of the street scene.
One had to know that with the Blessings of various talents and Blessings, Dick's eyesight was incredibly sharp, able to see things a hundred kilometers away.
Looking at the blurry light and shadow on the distant horizon, Dick frowned and said, "Chaoxing District... how big is it?"
"Wu Luan Ancient City comes from a fragmented Sub-Timespace," Adela said slowly, her face showing nostalgia. "So the land here is pieced together from the nine continents of the original time-space."
"The, the continents of the original time-space?!"
Adela smiled and nodded, finding Dick's unworldly expression adorable. She patiently explained, "Take Chaoxing District, for example. It's formed by piecing together the Demon Spirit Continent, the Atlanta Continent, and the Eastern Germany Continent."
Dick's eyes widened. He knew Wu Luan Ancient City was large, but he hadn't expected it to be this large.
Suddenly, Dick keenly realized something and immediately asked, "Then are we currently located on the Demon Spirit Continent?"
"Emmm..."
Adela lowered her head and thought for a moment, then quickly nodded. "Yes, and we're right in the center of the Demon Spirit Continent."
Hearing this, Dick became thoughtful, and a conjecture about crossing spontaneously arose.
At this moment, the location of the Main Time-Space's main body was the Superville Empire, also located in the center of the Demon Spirit Continent.
And when he switched consciousness and crossed to Wu Luan Ancient City, he happened to arrive in the corresponding area.
Was this a coincidence?
Dick quickly dismissed this idea, believing he had discovered a rule, a rule of crossing.
All the Sub-Timespaces in the long river of time were branches extended from the Main Time-Space, and naturally possessed the same nine continents.
Therefore, any location on the nine continents of the Main Time-Space could find a corresponding location in Wu Luan Ancient City.
This was also why he switched consciousness in the Superville Empire and woke up in Chaoxing District of Wu Luan Ancient City, with both locations being the center of the Demon Spirit Continent.
Understanding this rule, Dick instantly thought of many clever uses.
For example, as long as he went to the corresponding coordinates in the Main Time-Space, theoretically, he could appear anywhere in Wu Luan Ancient City!
Thinking of this, Dick immediately became excited and wanted to experiment.
"Stop the carriage, Adela. I'm going back to the Main Time-Space for a while and will be back in a few minutes."
Hearing this, Adela didn't ask much, simply waving her hand to stop the carriage.
Before coming, Lord Alice had instructed her to treat Dick as she would treat Her, obeying all commands.
Before switching consciousness, Dick confirmed their current coordinates with Adela in detail, trying to be as precise as possible.
"Dick, should I pick you up in the previous alley later?"
"No need, just wait for me here," Dick's mouth curved into a smile, his face full of anticipation. "I'll appear directly in the carriage!"
After saying this, Dick slowly closed his eyes and entered deep sleep in less than three seconds.
Looking at Dick's figure rapidly dimming until he was completely transparent, Adela instinctively covered her small mouth and let out a gasp.
"Lord Dick has completely disappeared, Holy Master, did you see that?"
At this moment, Adela's seductive red hair changed. A touch of silver-white climbed up the ends of her hair, quickly turning into the same red and white gradient as Alice's.
This was a special method of descent. Adela completely lost control of her body, equivalent to being possessed by Lord Alice.
"How strange..."
Lord Alice controlled Adela, using various spells to carefully examine the surroundings, but still found no trace.
Magic power, soul power, mental power... all energy fluctuations, all pheromones that could prove Dick's existence, disappeared completely in an instant.
It was as if Dick had never existed!
Lord Alice was very interested in this incredible method. Perhaps this would be another way for the Lord's main body to descend into the Main Time-Space.
On the other side, on the large bed in the military tent, Dick suddenly opened his eyes.
Under the warm yellow light, Alice's figure swayed continuously, full of fighting spirit.
"Ah, Dick, you're awake..."
"Rest for a bit, I have something to do."
Dick sat up, heartlessly withdrawing, showing no reluctance to leave the embrace of comfort.
Seeing this, Alice looked regretful. Dick had only slept for less than two hours, and she had planned to stay up all night.
Several minutes later, Dick found the coordinates he had previously noted. It was a dense small woods outside the Superville Army Camp.
Alice followed behind, her pretty face flushed, many romantic conjectures arising in her heart.
Late at night, a single man and woman, a small woods... these elements together made it hard not to let one's imagination run wild.
"Dick, we came here to..."
However, before Alice could finish speaking, Dick had already lain down on the soft grass and instructed, "Take me back to the military camp later."
"Oh, okay, I'll take off... huh?"
Dick didn't explain, ignoring the bewildered Alice, and slowly closed his eyes. He was eager to verify his conjecture.
Hoo...
Soon, even breathing sounds were heard, and Dick had entered deep sleep.
The next moment, his vision shifted, and Dick appeared in Wu Luan Ancient City.
However, this time, it was no longer the previous alley, but the second floor of a bustling restaurant.
Dick frowned and murmured, "What's going on? Was I wrong..."
"Hey, where did you meat slaves come from? You've stained my dishes!"
A deafening roar sounded. Only then did Dick realize he was standing on the dining table, his feet stepping on a large cabbage leaf.
And in front of him sat a bloated fat pig, constantly cursing.
Just as Dick was about to try to smooth things over, a waiter quickly walked over and bowed in apology.
"I'm sorry, sir. All the ingredients in our restaurant are freshly slaughtered. This meat slave probably ran out from the back kitchen. Just consider it a complimentary meat dish."
