Upon hearing Yu Sheng suddenly mention Plan B, Xuan Che froze on the spot because he didn't know what "Plan B" was.
Erin wasn't surprised at all — even though she didn't know when a Plan B came about, she was already used to Yu Sheng's head popping up with new ideas anytime.
Hu Li was even simpler, without thinking at all. As soon as Yu Sheng said the word "tail," she unhesitatingly turned around and pulled off a tail from behind her — which resulted in Xuan Che's second moment of shock.
Then the demon fox girl realized later and quickly looked at Yu Sheng: "Savior! I'll go with you!"
"This time I'll go alone," Yu Sheng said quickly as he hugged Hu Li's tail, "The situation up there is unclear and I'm not confident, you guys following would be too risky."
Hu Li stared straight into Yu Sheng's eyes, but upon noting his resolute attitude, being understanding as always, she simply nodded obediently: "Okay, then where to launch to?"
Yu Sheng had already decided: "Launch towards the top of the Tower — I see that place is the first to start 'flashing', if this thing is going to open a teleportation, the crack should be up there."
The silver-white fox tail started to tremble slightly, and Yu Sheng instinctively held the middle section of the tail tightly. Though there wasn't a third-party perspective, he could sense that his current posture might have some ridicule points, and then he nudged two Erins off his shoulders, with one Erin jumping down while shouting, "Hey, how are you going to handle it once you're up there? Open a huge door to cut this thing off and make it stop?"
"I haven't thought it through, let's go up and see first," Yu Sheng replied sincerely, "If it really doesn't work, I can use your method. My door directly cuts through space, theoretically, it can block it — anyway, if it fails, see you on the ground in half an hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fox tail in his arms blossomed into a bright flame, and amidst the rapid spread and explosion of Fox Fire, a strong impact came, with Yu Sheng exclaiming, "Oh, mom!" as he tightly embraced the fluffy mass, flying straight toward the majestic Giant Tower.
Erin stood on the ground, shading her eyes with her hand as she looked up at the gradually distant Yu Sheng, and couldn't help but exclaim: "… Truly like a fart shooting up."
Then she added: "However, he's back to the tactics I'm familiar with… not caring about life and death."
Beside her, Hu Li muttered a bit bitterly, "Sigh, Savior didn't take me."
Erin: "He didn't take me either!"
Xuan Che didn't pay attention to what Hu Li and Erin were muttering, as he was busy stabilizing his spiritual cultivation from when Hu Li pulled off her tail to Yu Sheng being launched out in that brief period. At this moment, his spiritual cultivation was stable, but his worldview hadn't yet recovered. After Erin and the others finished speaking, he pointed at Hu Li and then at Yu Sheng, who was already about to reach the tower's top: "You... him... you guys..."
Erin didn't wait for the other to finish before waving her hand: "You're ignorant."
Xuan Che let out a long sigh, while he fished out some pills from his arms and tossed them into his mouth, mumbling in disappointment, "… Yes, I am ignorant."
Erin was startled: "Hey! Just being called ignorant doesn't mean you take poison on the spot!"
Xuan Che: "… These are Gastric Health Pills."
At this time, Yu Sheng was oblivious to the situation on the ground. His entire focus was on the rapidly approaching Tower.
The blinking speed of the tower was increasing, with the upper half even completely falling into a certain illusory transparent state, cannon fire flying in from afar continuously hit the tower's surface, visibly penetrating through.
Yu Sheng didn't understand the principle behind this, but he guessed that the progress of this thing's teleportation bar was probably nearing its end — though fortunately, such a gigantic building ultimately couldn't be instantly moved out of this Exotic Realm even with Venerate Saints Monastery's black technology, there should still be a little time before it completely leaves here.
He's hugging the fox tail like this, passing through the overwhelming firepower, missiles, beams, and high-energy particle groups cutting through the sky, whistling sharply in the nearby air, but the Special Service Bureau should have noticed a strange man flying up with a hugging fox tail. Yu Sheng soon noticed the surrounding barrage thinning out, all attacks from behind him shifted direction, starting to focus their bombing on the lower part of the Tower.
Fox tail reached the vicinity of the tower top, circling at a very close distance.
Yu Sheng tried adjusting the floating position of the fox tail, pulling on its side fur. The Nine-Tailed Fox on the ground immediately sensed it, moving the tail's position along the direction Yu Sheng suggested, making it closely adhere to the tower top that had turned transparent and seemingly no longer in the current dimension.
This feeling was magical. Yu Sheng felt that even in the most absurd dreams he had, or the most whimsical books he wrote, he never encountered such a scene.
Riding the fox tail through a barrage to intercept a cultist's lair about to teleport — unless missing hundreds of thousands of words of prior setup, letting this sentence pop out a few words would be considered insane.
But now he was here, hugging a fluffy mass, floating atop this illusory Giant Tower.
He reached out, trying to touch the transparent phantom.
He felt he was only touching a piece of slightly trembling air.
What should we do next? How can we intercept the building that's initiating "transmission"?
If it were the Special Service Bureau, they should have means of interference like a "Teleportation Interference Device" or "Gravity Trap Generator" when fully prepared. If it were Xuan Che's homeland, those immortals should also have large arrays or Magic Treasures to obstruct such transmission, but none of these are present right now.
Yu Sheng reached out into the air. He knew there wasn't much time left, but at this moment, he felt a surprising calm in his heart.
He slightly closed his eyes, beginning to perceive and contemplate.
Contemplation guides the direction forward, perception ensures contemplation isn't too far-fetched—he recalled the feeling of opening a door, attempting to open a door inside this Tower.
Although this Tower was no longer "here", it left a shadow here. Having a shadow means the "connection" still exists.
The door is the manifestation of a "connection", the proof of establishing a link between two spaces or places. As long as there is even a slight connection, a door can be opened.
Thinking this way, Yu Sheng touched a doorknob.
He tried to turn it, but before the door could open, he suddenly felt something else.
It was the tremor of space.
The temporal structure of this Tower was being disturbed.
This "disturbance" formed a ripple invisible to the naked eye. Yu Sheng didn't understand it, nor could he see any theoretical connection between this spatial ripple and the Tower's "transmission", but he guessed that the stability of this ripple was surely related to the blood pressure and heartbeat of the cultists hiding in the Tower.
Now, that's interesting.
Yu Sheng "watched" the ripple that the Tower sent out and used the method of opening a door and "assigning value" to add noise to one of the waves.
Then he heard a "boom", and everything went black in front of him—
In the top-level control area of the Tower's "Order Pillar", dozens of Venerate Saints Monastery cult members were nervously standing by at various control devices, waiting for the Tower to exit the dangerous state.
The exposure of the Sanctuary was a huge surprise. No one expected the Artificial Saintess to fail twice in succession, and even less expected the powerful spatial masking system to suddenly collapse for inexplicable reasons. The response speed of the Special Service Bureau and the strength of the troops they deployed was the second surprise—when those two "Hunting Eagles" appeared on the warning radar, the Sage immediately ordered an emergency jump, but even so, the Tower still took a solid hit in the first round of firepower bombardment.
Fortunately, the Tower's Shield and shell withstood the heavy firepower from the "Hunting Eagles", and the phasing brought about by the phase conversion allowed the "Order Pillar" to escape most of the subsequent attacks.
Now, the frighteningly intense tremors throughout the Tower were gradually subsiding, and the dense fog images transmitted from external monitors were gradually being replaced by the displaced light and shadow as the teleportation system started up, finally securing safety.
The cultists in the Control Hall all breathed a sigh of relief, and although the mission had failed to some extent, the joy of timely recovery of the organization's important assets allowed everyone to relax, while a tall, thin, elderly man in a white robe sitting among all the cultists slowly nodded, preparing to arrange the follow-up inspection and repair work.
However, at this moment, a series of terrifying tearing explosions and tremors far more intense than the first round of firepower bombardment reverberated throughout the Tower, as if a series of heavy bombs had exploded inside the Giant Tower. The intense shaking sent everyone in the hall staggering, as exclamations rang out around them while piercing system alarms blared from all directions:
"Teleportation interference! Alert, fatal error! Teleportation interference! Phase conversion failed... Navigation offline! Alert, navigation offline! Teleportation interference!"
Immediately, the shrill noise appeared amidst the alarm sounds, with various systems' warnings blaring in unison. The cascading failures caused by the collapse of multiple systems made several technicians manning the control consoles utter near howls. A member of the Monastery suddenly jumped up, looking at the tall, thin, white-robed elder in the center of the room: "Sage! We've been attacked! Unknown teleportation interference!"
"Exit teleportation! Quickly!" The white-robed elder's face also lost its composure, "Before the Phase Engine annihilates!"
"Exiting now! All hands brace for impact—we're about to drop out of Super Space!"
In the next second, the final resounding crash and violent tremor nearly knocked half the people in the hall unconscious.
Those still conscious staggered, bleeding from their mouths and noses, wobbling as they barely recovered their ability to think amidst the intense spatial dislocation. Then, in unison, they looked out of the window.
Outside the thick polymer portholes was a strange and dark starry sky.
The entire "Order Pillar" had its teleportation parameters reset by some unknown force and was thrown into a desolate area among the stars.
