Chapter 1418: 469. Feeling tampered
Noland Lee stood in the center of the three-dinsional magic array, eyes closed in deep thought, silently calculating the timing of Cucumber Slice’s entry into the Illusion Space.
In the past half an hour, he had contacted Cucumber Slice 15 tis, each ti while the other was waiting for resurrection.
This ti, Noland Lee did not plan to do so.
He had to reset Cucumber Slice’s “Resurrection Safe Zone” before his death.
The “Resurrection Safe Zone” for Cucumber Slice was currently set on the truck that was transporting them to the entrance of the Illusion Space.
By resetting Cucumber Slice’s “Resurrection Safe Zone,” Noland Lee could make him resurrect within the reset “Resurrection Safe Zone.”
...
Since the ritual array used Cucumber Slice’s soul and body as dium, the “Resurrection Safe Zone” could only be set on his body, which ant it was located in an isolated treatnt room in the hospital.
The hidden chamber where Noland Lee was now situated was next door to the isolated treatnt room.
Once Cucumber Slice resurrected successfully, he would use Passive Deconstruction to detect the other, ensuring there were no anomalies.
For Winter lon and Kelp, Noland Lee planned to adopt the sa approach.
Regarding forcing the tal Ancestral Dragon to reveal the true form of Extraterrestrial Eternity within the Inner Cosmos, Noland Lee and the Assassin Angels discussed another plan, which was urgent to implent.
“10, 9, 8, 7… Ah, ti is up, Cucumber Slice should have entered the Illusion Space now.”
Noland Lee tid it carefully, channeled Soul Energy into the nearby non-tal array frawork, and activated the interstellar magic array that could communicate with a specific target in the Inner Cosmos.
As the energy fluctuations within the array beca more intense, Noland Lee’s consciousness gradually left his body and entered the transport channel leading to the Inner Cosmos.
The transport channel was filled with colorful fus, chiefly a grey tunnel extending into infinity. The fog floated within the channel without interfering with Noland Lee’s consciousness during transit.
At first, the transit of his consciousness was slow, and there was often a feeling of choppiness, giving Noland Lee the illusion of being a pupa in a narrow, constricted ventilation duct.
Once Senati intervened from outside the ritual array, the choppiness dissipated instantly; Noland Lee’s consciousness accelerated, with the colorful fog swiftly receding behind him.
At the end of the channel, a milky-white plane appeared with a tiny crack. Noland Lee squeezed into it, and the scene before him shifted dramatically.
The prior colorful fog was gone, replaced by a starry sky threaded together with silver threads.
Noland Lee’s consciousness surveyed the space, seeing Cucumber Slice anxiously awaiting the arrival of his two companions nearby.
Noland Lee could see him, but that did not an Cucumber Slice could see him.
At this mont, Noland Lee had entered the Inner Cosmos in the form of his consciousness, protected by the “Veil of Different Worlds” within the ritual array.
Unless he actively dispelled the “Veil of Different Worlds” enveloping his consciousness, neither Cucumber Slice, the Death Steel Legion, the tal Ancestral Dragon, nor the Illusion Space could detect his presence.
Noland Lee maintained his invisibility status and sent a voice ssage through the Ga System on Cucumber Slice:
“How long have you been in here?”
Cucumber Slice suddenly heard the GM’s voice, his tense expression quivering slightly, but he quickly recovered from the shock, and the tension in his eyes lessened a bit, replaced with hope.
“Eh? Boss, how co you showed up so early this ti? You scared …”
Cucumber Slice steadied his spirit and responded internally:
“I’ve been here for 3 minutes.”
“3 minutes?” Noland Lee sensed sothing was amiss.
He had tid his entry.
In his expectation, Cucumber Slice should have entered the Illusion Space less than a minute ago, so why did he enter two minutes early?
“Why did you enter two minutes early? Did sothing unexpected happen just now?” Noland Lee asked.
Cucumber Slice frowned slightly, pondering carefully, murmuring to himself:
“I entered early? Hiss… It seems so. Just now while we were resting outside, several tal Skeletons lifted , along with Winter lon and Kelp, from the ground and threw us directly into the dungeon entrance. They were much faster than before. We entered the dungeon early, probably because those skeletons did it on purpose.”
It seems just a minor incident… Noland Lee no longer dwelled on this minor issue, and instead started discussing the conditions of Winter lon and Kelp with Cucumber Slice.
Since the ritual array could communicate with only one target at a ti, Noland Lee had not been able to see Winter lon and Kelp from the start, and he couldn’t be sure those two didn’t have any abnormalities.
If he was to rescue all three, then he definitely needed to ensure none of them had any issues.
“Is there any abnormal behavior from Winter lon and Kelp?” Noland Lee asked.
Cucumber Slice did not know why the GM was asking this but still pondered seriously:
“Hmm… abnormal behavior… There shouldn’t be any, I guess.”
Although Cucumber Slice said “none,” his tone carried a hint of uncertainty.
Noland Lee pressed on:
“Is there, or is there not? This is very important, Cucumber Slice, don’t overlook any details.”
Cucumber Slice thought aloud:
“If I have to ntion any abnormalities, then I could still na a few. First of all, in the past half an hour, Winter lon has asked several tis ‘do you know sothing,’ just like a broken record. Moreover, each ti Winter lon asked that, Kelp didn’t speak. That’s a bit unnatural.”
“How is it unnatural?” Noland Lee asked again.
Cucumber Slice replied:
