Offer a savior to the infinite world!

The girl rubbed her back, stood up, and looked around in disbelief.

They seemed to no longer be in the original parking lot.

Although it seemed to be the same place, Jianzi felt as if her eyes were telling her that she had come to a different place, a strange place where the direction of gravity was reversed.

"Mr. Lin Yi, is this your special ability?"

After helping up several special forces members, Shirou Emiya caught up and looked at Lin Yi curiously and asked.

"Almost. I can feel the vibrations of various energies, and can barely perform some operations when there is a chance of contact. But this is also my first attempt. After all, if it weren't for the mastermind who sent those monsters in and activated some things, I wouldn't be able to lead everyone to this place smoothly."

Lin Yi, who was shaking his head slightly, had already reached the edge of the parking lot.

The passage that had been blown down by them now appeared intact in front of them.

Walk across the ceiling and reach the ceiling of the second underground floor. Continue forward, pass the first underground floor, and finally return to the first floor.

Apparently, no one present had ever experienced this strange experience of constantly moving downwards from the ceiling. They were all very cautious for a moment, and Captain Shane even cursed a few times in a low voice.

Lin Yi didn't care much about this, he just continued to move forward, and only changed direction when he reached the first floor. He walked to the original first floor lobby, the original direction leading to the city.

“This is really quite a scene.”

Then, Lin Yi looked at something outside the hall.

Chapter 16: Inverted World~

The sky is dim, just like the dusk.

And the sun reflected in the sky below.

“This is quite a scene.”

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

What appeared before everyone's eyes at this moment was an upside-down, broken city.

Except for a few nearby buildings, all the buildings in the distance appeared to be disintegrating and shattered, suspended in the air in a fragmented state. Even for these relatively intact upside-down buildings, except for the parts close to the ground, the further down the entire building spread, the more obvious signs of decay appeared, and the fragments of the buildings also floated in the air, presenting a strange and magical state that defied common sense.

The seemingly eternal evening sun was located at the bottom of this strange and broken world, emitting extremely strong light and heat, causing the special forces members who were wearing thicker clothes to start sweating on their foreheads after a while.

However, these are not the point.

"Is it here?"

Lin Yi lowered his head and looked at the thing below.

A huge chain, which looks to be at least several meters wide and dozens of meters long, is connected to these barely intact buildings. It is connected to the center of these buildings, which are the only relatively intact buildings. It is located at the bottom of this strange world, as if it is suspended by these buildings, and is closest to the sun-like light body.

It looks like a destroyed research institute?

Lin Yi looked at the very dilapidated building complex, which looked like it had been hit by some kind of explosion, and frowned slightly.

"So spectacular..."

Jianzi, who had never seen such a scene before, stood aside and muttered to himself.

Shirou Emiya was already standing at the edge of the first floor hall with Lin Yi, and he also looked down at the buildings that were suspended by chains. No, considering these floating building fragments, the buildings should not need these chains to be fixed, right? Or was it for some other reason?

"How is it possible, it's here?!"

However, compared to the three people on Lin Yi's side, the special operations team on the other side, Captain Xie En, reacted much more violently at this moment.

"Captain Shane, do you know what that building that looks like the Demon King's Castle in the RPG game is?"

Noticing the captain's reaction, Lin Yi turned around and asked him.

"Yes, I do know this place. I've been on another mission involving the paranormal, and I didn't expect these two to be related."

"This building should be the Eastern Hemisphere Federation's No. 6 Military Research Institute. This institute is led by Dr. Ira. He and his research team have been studying... well, I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it seems to be some kind of research on spatial structure issues."

After taking a deep breath, Shane's expression became serious.

Parallel space information infiltration, this is the topic that the missing Dr. Ira, who Shane knew, had been working on for more than ten years.

What exactly this thing refers to, naturally, is impossible for the special operations captain to understand with his education level. Of course, now is not the time for popular science, so Shane did not hesitate at all and directly revealed what he saw and heard during that mission.

"That was about half a year ago. We received the highest alert from that research institute."

"It is said that the alarm only sounded twice, and then it was cut off by the research institute itself. Then the entire institute completely lost contact. The area was also covered by some kind of smoke, making it impossible to confirm the details on the satellite map."

"I arrived at the research institute with a team to investigate the situation. We found that the entire institute seemed to have suffered a violent explosion. The entire institute was in tatters and in a mess."

"Because of the smoke, visibility was very poor. We had to wait until we reached the gate of the institute before we could barely see what the institute looked like."

"Afterwards, we entered the institute and found a researcher who was still alive near the gate. He looked very mentally ill. I remember his name was Qin Gu, and he was Asian. He was a senior researcher and had great strategic value, so we assigned two people to rescue him first, and then I and another person moved him out of the institute."

"And the three of us are the only survivors of that mission."

Closing his eyes, Shane calmly narrated his experience at this moment.

"The only...survivor?"

Realizing something from Shane's words, Jianzi hugged the doll in her arms a little tighter.

"Yes, because after we settled the researcher, when we were about to return to the team, we found that the research institute that was just there had disappeared. What we were facing was an empty plain with nothing in it."

The huge research institute disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing behind.

It's like it never existed.

The researcher who was rescued went insane afterwards, and his mental state was extremely bad. There was no way to establish effective communication. The Alliance tried various treatment methods, but still failed to wake him up. It is only known that when he was in a deep sedation state, the researcher would occasionally shout something like "Don't look over here", "Don't cross the line", "We are seen", and every time he shouted, he would fall into a state of extreme fear.

The missing researchers, the missing special forces members, they just disappeared without a trace, and no matter what method was used, no one could get even the slightest clue about their whereabouts.

After that strange mission, Shane was ordered to keep his mouth shut and not to tell anyone the inside story of the operation. He could only bury all his questions deep in his heart.

And now, Shane finally knew the whereabouts of that research institute, and he could finally speak out what was in his heart, telling others what he knew, the words that had been buried deep in his heart and unspeakable for the past six months.

"The missing research institute?"

Listening to the words of the special forces captain, Lin Yi thought of a certain possibility and couldn't help but look at the buildings below again, his brows furrowed even deeper than before.

Don't know what to say.

I have a very bad feeling about this.

Chapter 17: Time to move forward~

Is there information penetration from parallel space?

The original research content of the research institute mentioned by Xie En made Lin Yi think carefully for a while.

Speaking of which, the goal of this mission is to clear abnormal time and space nodes, which should refer to this broken inverted city. This place is indeed very strange and incompatible with this civilization. It should not be possible to appear in this place reasonably no matter how you look at it.

Well, the last space anomaly came from the worship of a foreign god called the Lord of Beard.

What is the reason for this time and space anomaly?

Lin Yi felt that he couldn't

Chapter 18: All the way down~

The loud roar of the impact was so loud in an instant that the inverted building began to shake violently.

As if a major earthquake had erupted, the shaking that made everyone unable to stand still struck everyone on the ceiling of the corridor.

"Ugh!"

Shane was caught off guard and was thrown into the air as he was too close to the window, almost falling out of the building. Shirou Emiya reacted in time and immediately projected a chain to grab Shane's feet, and then quickly pulled him back.

Jianzi fell to the ground with a scream, and then the violent impact caused large cracks on the floor above everyone's heads. Lin Yi did not hesitate and kicked Jianzi, just kicking the puppet in her arms as a buffer, kicking the girl under an overturned table next to him, then jumped up and knocked away a large fallen stone to avoid hitting other people, and rolled to the corner to curl up and defend against the remaining falling rubble. The rest of the special forces also tried their best to stabilize their bodies, leaning against the corner to avoid the rubble as much as possible.

Boom--Boom--

This violent shock did not last long.

After about 10 seconds, everything gradually became quiet.

"Now I know why the buildings around here are in such a shabby state."

After the shaking stopped, Lin Yi pushed away the pieces of rubble that hit him, patted the dust off his head, then stood up and sighed in a low voice.

"Everyone, is everything alright? Report the situation!"

Shane, who was caught by Shirou Emiya in a hurry and almost had his leg bones dislocated, endured the pain and climbed up and shouted to his teammates. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing everyone report the news. He sat down with a grin, rubbed his legs and thanked the boy next to him.

"Just now...what happened?"

Jianzi, who was not injured because of the table, crawled out, rubbed her chest which was a little painful from Lin Yi's kick and whispered. The girl would not blame Lin Yi, she could realize that it was a measure taken by the other party to protect herself in an emergency, but... oooh, it still hurts a little.

"This is really weird. That luminous object can actually release shock waves? Is it the work of the enemy who controls this place?"

Someone in the special operations team cursed, and Lin Yi had already walked to the edge of the corridor, looking towards the huge light body below.

"No, it shouldn't be done by the enemy."

Lin Yi shook his head.

“It’s hard to say exactly why, though.”

"However, this thing should be operating in a periodic manner, and there will be a shock wave like this every once in a while."

"Hmm...if I feel like it, maybe once every 15 minutes?"

Lin Yi, staring at the light body below, gave this answer after a little thought.

"Are you sure? If so, we must hurry. Every impact of this thing will cause great damage to the inverted building. If we can't reach that building before this one is completely destroyed, then I'm afraid there will be no other chance."

Shane limped to his feet and looked at Lin Yi seriously and asked.

"Well, I can confirm that I can't make a mistake in sensing this high-intensity energy flow."

Nodding slightly, Lin Yi's gaze gradually became serious at this moment.

If I jump down from here and try to directly resonate with the energy of that huge light body...

No, that's not possible. I will be vaporized before I can complete the resonance and manipulation of this energy.

As soon as the idea popped up in his mind, Lin Yi quickly denied this possibility. His resonance ability now has an upper limit. This upper limit is not in the ability itself, but in Lin Yi himself. His body and his will simply cannot hold on until the resonance is completed. Direct contact with that huge energy source will inevitably lead to death. If things go wrong, the Savior System may not be able to revive him.

So, what kind of huge energy source is this?

Recalling the previous mission, the high-voltage power station did not cause any damage to me. This time, the mission had such a result. Could it be that this light body is really a [sun]?

It shouldn't be... at least it can't really be a star-level thing, otherwise there would be no buildings that could exist at this distance. However, if energy of this magnitude really exploded, it is not impossible to cleanse the entire surface of the earth.

"It seems that this mission is not a little bit difficult."

Lin Yi sighed in a low voice and took a step forward, continuing to move towards the lower floors.

We must speed up.

Everyone reached this consensus at this moment.

That strange high-density energy light body would release a strong energy shock wave every fifteen minutes. This shock wave could cause huge damage to buildings, and if a person was hit by it without any protection, they would undoubtedly die immediately, and there might not even be any corpse left.

Along the way, Jianzi did not see any monsters. Perhaps it was because this area was too dangerous and no monsters would stay nearby. This also brought rare convenience to the rescuers and the special operations team.

The further down we went, the more serious the collapse of the building became. Many floors had collapsed, and the walls, ceilings, floors, and other things were broken and mixed together, causing considerable trouble to continue moving downwards.

For example, when they arrived at the 15th floor, because the two floors below had collapsed extremely seriously, the people present had to choose to jump from a broken platform almost next to the edge of the building, two floors high and 6 meters high, and landed below. This was the closest point that could be found. For this reason, Lin Yi jumped down first, and after confirming that the landing point was relatively flat and not too dangerous, he let the people above follow him down. As a result, as soon as Shirou Emiya followed him down, Lin Yi heard the sound of the collapsed area under his feet cracking, and felt a slight vibration at the same time.

"That's a really bad sound, Jianzi, jump down, quickly!"

Realizing that something bad might happen, Lin Yi quickly waved and shouted upwards.

"I-I know."

It obviously takes some courage to jump down from such a height. Jianzi stood on the edge of the broken ceiling, looking at Lin Yi standing in the ruins below, and the luminous object outside the building which was only half a meter away from Lin Yi and was unknown how far away it was. For a moment, he felt a little scared in his heart.

It’s okay, it’s okay. I just jumped off a tall building with Senior Lin Yi.

"Just jump down, I will catch you."

"Yeah, I-I'm coming!"

Lin Yi shouted again, and Jianzi plucked up the courage and jumped down. Lin Yi caught him and held him in his arms.

A crackling sound was heard immediately afterwards. Lin Yi thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly retreated. Then the ruins where he had just stood collapsed neatly and fell towards the light body below. On the way, it was melted by the high temperature and finally evaporated.

The remaining members of the special operations team had to find a way to use the climbing rope to make a landing ladder and slide down, which delayed them a little bit. As a result, when they were only two or three floors away from their destination, the time for the next shock wave to be released was approaching.
