Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 675 - 685: This is freaking haunted, right?

Chapter 675: Chapter 685: This is freaking haunted, right?

Both of them reacted quickly this time.

Li Wenli swiftly lit a torch and glanced at the space, vaguely making out that the corners were thinning, and the outside scenery was intermittently visible.

"This space is about to collapse."

Li Wenli’s expression turned grave.

"A stable space usually has a thick barrier, which envelops a miniature world. When the space becomes unstable or is on the verge of collapsing, this barrier will get thinner and thinner until it finally shatters into pieces."

"So, what do we do?" Bai Junjun was somewhat anxious. They couldn’t let the Treasure Room disappear, not when her own territory was still too small and urgently needed expanding.

"We could try to repair the space," said Li Wenli, frowning. "Though I’ve never done this before, I’m not sure if it will work."

After all, the spaces he encountered in The Apocalypse were extremely stable, and he had never faced this kind of predicament.

And repairing space, as far as he knew, was something no one had ever done.

Now, they had no choice but to clutch at straws.

Bai Junjun possessed Wood-series Ability, which inherently had healing properties, though she normally healed plants or living creatures, and had never dealt with inanimate objects like this.

But if one were to consider it carefully, the medium of space was similar to that of Earth’s, existing in the vast universe protected by an ozone layer to create a livable environment for humans.

Theoretically, there’s a similar "ozone" layer in these spaces, which is essentially composed of the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Space.

Since neither of them had an Earth-series Ability to directly create a barrier, they could attempt to use Bai Junjun’s Wood-series Ability combined with Li Wenli’s Water, Fire, and Wind Abilities to form a new wrapping layer and repair the area.

The two had beautiful plans, but they had forgotten that the space was on the brink of shattering.

It was volatile, chaotically dancing on the edge of fragmentation, constantly shifting and shaking off contents within, trying to reduce its volume to extend its existence.

However, this was no long-term solution; even if it shrunk to the size of a fist, it would still inevitably collapse.

But space isn’t sentient, devoid of the capacity for thought; all its actions were merely instinctual stress responses.

And so, the two were once again ejected from the Underground Palace.

This time, the unfortunate pair was thrown directly into a crowd.

As it happened, these people outside already knew of the intruders and were armed with swords, ready to search inch by inch. Then, suddenly, these two appeared.

"Ah! Help!"

"It’s haunted!"

Li Wenli and Bai Junjun thought they were in for a bloody fight, but to their surprise, seeing them appear out of nowhere, the crowd turned tail and ran, weapons in hand.

"?"

Both were completely baffled. What was happening?

But since the people of Thousand Miles were wisely opting not to attack, the two didn’t linger on the matter and turned back to pursue the Underground Palace once more.

Finally, after back-and-forth running, they collided with the Underground Palace once again and disappeared once more.

Just like that, the two kept appearing and disappearing, again and again, in the headquarters of Thousand Miles, driving the guards to even greater madness.

Therefore, when the mysterious Caped Old Man arrived at the headquarters, he saw most of the guards outside, not daring to enter, and each one was pale as a ghost, evidently frightened terribly.

Seeing their state, the Caped Old Man couldn’t help but frown: "What are you doing! Have you all forgotten your responsibilities?"

Seeing the Chief arrive, the people fell to their knees in a wave: "Chief, save us, there’s something haunting the place again."
