You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 117
Chapter 117: Spatial Gate
Lunar New Year is always the most important holiday in China, so whether it’s the Nine Heavens employees who work overtime every day or the high school students who go to school from six in the morning to twelve at night, they all have holidays during this time, it’s just a matter of how long.
But no matter how long it is, having a holiday means you can relax and go out.
During the New Year, of course, you can’t miss visiting relatives.
Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an rarely have free time, so they plan to stay in the Imperial Capital for a few days first, visit all their acquaintances, and then return to the Daojian Sect.
Modern young people, the main idea is that whoever you go to see becomes a relative.
For example, Su Qin’an and Xie Yingqing went directly to the homes of several acquaintances, including Liu Qiming, Li Weimin, Sun Ruilei, and Zhang Keqiang, to freeload—no, to pay New Year’s calls,
Of course, they also brought New Year’s gifts, and they were all carefully selected by Su Qin’an according to everyone’s preferences and characteristics.
“Oh my, why are you two here? ”
Liu Qiming opened the door, saw Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an, and asked in surprise, “Aren’t you going back to the sect? ”
“We definitely will return, but not now. ”
Su Qin’an smiled and walked in, placing the two bags he was carrying on the ground: “Sister-in-law is here too? Happy New Year! We haven’t bought many gifts, so we just bought a few things, don’t mind! ”
“Happy New Year! I’ve heard Old Liu mention you often… Just come, why bring gifts! ”
Mrs. Liu said with a smile, “You child, you’re too polite… This is Xie Yingqing, right? What a pretty young girl! ”
Xie Yingqing quickly said, “Oh no, no, Aunt, you are still charming despite your age! No wonder you have such a harmonious relationship with Minister Liu! ”
After saying this, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
That’s not right, why does it seem like I’m a generation younger than Su Qin’an???
Next came the pleasantries and the meal. Mrs. Liu, because of Xie Yingqing’s compliment, was very pleased and gave each of them 200 yuan in lucky money.
Su Qin’an said that it felt strange to receive lucky money from his colleagues?
After the two left, Liu Qiming and Mrs. Liu opened the bags they brought.
Mrs. Liu’s bag contained a set of cosmetics, after all, women love beauty.
Mrs. Liu was very satisfied with this gift, laughing and saying how thoughtful Xie Yingqing was.
After all, she also knew that the cosmetics couldn’t have been chosen by Su Qin’an. With so many shades, male students probably couldn’t even tell them apart…
On the other hand, Liu Qiming looked at his gift and fell into thought.
Tiger p3nis, mutton kidneys, goji berries…
I’m not suffering from kidney deficiency!
And I don’t need to start a new account and reroll right now!
Over the next few days, the two visited Li Weimin, Sun Ruilei, and a few others.
Although their homes were not in the same city, distance was not a problem for the two who could perform sword flight.
The gifts they gave were also strange, always pushing the recipients to the brink of getting angry, like a close call.
For example, Li Weimin received a gift set of goji berries and an eye mask, along with Su Qin’an’s five-minute free sword flight pass.
Whether Li Weimin liked it or not is unknown, but during the New Year, many people heard someone yelling in the air.
For example, Sun Ruilei received a wine cup and 5 bottles of Maotai, which made him so happy that he drank all night, and the next morning he went to the hospital because of a stomachache.
The doctor on duty didn’t expect that someone would actually come to see a doctor during the New Year!
Then there’s Zhang Xian… well, Su Qin’an really didn’t know what to give Zhang Xian, so he simply gave him a pile of study materials.
Normal ones, the kind that can pass censorship.
After staying in the Imperial Capital for another day, after New Year’s Eve, on Lunar New Year’s Day, the two returned to the Daojian Sect.
…
The Pacific Ocean near Australia has always had various types of fish and ocean currents.
Although it has now become the territory of the Ghost Race, the sea has not been greatly affected, because the Ghost Race is also developing its fishing industry.
The sea surface is calm at this time, shimmering under the morning sun.
But beneath this tranquil surface, ten thousand meters below the sea, there is a place where seawater cannot enter.
The seawater flowing to this space will inexplicably disappear, then reappear several meters away. Repeating this process has created a space of absolute vacuum.
This space is so abrupt, as if some powerful being used magic to insert it into this era. From the outside, it’s impossible to notice it. Only by getting close to the space can one discover its anomaly.
“Report, Captain, there is an anomaly in the waters ahead! ”
Not far away, inside a Ghost Race submarine, sat three Ghost Race members.
A dwarf about 1. 5 meters tall, seeing the submarine’s radar alarm, immediately said, “Preliminary judgment, it may be a Spatial Gate! ”
The Commander listened and immediately went up, staring intently at the strange space in front of the glass.
Even with his eyesight, he could only barely detect a slight anomaly there.
“Quick, contact the Minister of Science and Technology, the High Priest, and the Protectors! ”
The Commander said urgently, “If it’s really a Spatial Gate, then we’re in trouble! ”
The video quickly connected, and the faces of the High Priest, the Left and Right Protectors, and the Minister of Science and Technology appeared on the screen.
“Deep Sea One, what’s going on? ”
The Minister of Science and Technology said, “What problems have you encountered? ”
“Reporting to the Minister, Protectors, and High Priest! ”
The Commander said, “There is a spatial anomaly ahead, suspected to be an underwater vacuum, possibly a Spatial Gate! ”
“Spatial Gate? ”
The High Priest’s brows immediately furrowed, “Whose? ”
With the current technological level of the Human Race, they simply don’t have the ability to create something like a Spatial Gate.
Could this have been created by another race? Or was it a relic from ten thousand years ago… that war?
If it were a relic from ten thousand years ago, that would be fine. But what if this Spatial Gate is a spatial node left on Earth by another race?
The current Ghost Race can only surrender to any other race, even those that are not included in the Cosmic Hundred Races.
This Spatial Gate appeared at a very inopportune time!
“Unclear, we dare not approach it now, afraid of attracting the attention of the race behind the gate! ”
The Commander replied, “Please instruct! ”
“Retreat first. ”
The Right Protector thought for a moment and said, “Mark this location, and tell everyone not to approach within 500 meters. ”
“Yes! ”
“How do you see it? ”
After the call ended, the Left Protector looked at the Right Protector beside him, “What do you think? ”
“Not the Human Race. ”
The Right Protector thought for a moment and said, “It should be a spatial node left on Earth by another race, but for some other reason, they can’t come over for a while. ”
“What exactly is this place? ”
The Left Protector frowned, “I can tell that the Human Race here and the Human Race from ten thousand years ago share a common origin, but… their essence is different. ”
“Who knows? ”
The Right Protector shrugged, “Let’s just get the Ministry of Science and Technology to speed up their progress! “
