Chapter 635 Broken Space!
Clenching her fists, Petra was a little nervous for no reason.
In front of him was a dilapidated and dry bathroom. The floor was full of garbage and dirt, and even some plants could be seen crawling in from outside the window in the corner.
There have been no traces of human beings here for a long time. It is obviously a toilet but it also looks like a garbage dump. There is no water at all in the sewer. Instead, weeds have grown directly. There is not even a smell in the air. It is completely desolate. scene.
"Are you sure this is here? I admit that the environment here is indeed a bit weird, but other than that, there don't seem to be any other useful clues." Petra said softly.
Zhang Yi looked around with a feeling, and then he spoke in a deep voice. "This reality is covered by something. Someone is hiding something."
This ability should be some kind of magical energy. Many magical creatures are invisible to ordinary people. Except for the eyes of wizards, ordinary people cannot see their bodies at all.
After saying that, Zhang Yi crossed his arms, pinched his thumb, ring finger and little finger together, straightened his index finger and middle finger, and gently opened them to both sides, just like Doctor Strange urging the Eye of Agamotto to open. Open normally.
Following Zhang Ye's actions, a golden mist emitted, and under Zhang Ye's urging, slowly separated the reality in front of him from the middle.
Just like a thin curtain was pulled open by Zhang Ye's hands, this distorted reality slowly showed its true appearance, revealing what was under the curtain.
I saw a series of hexagonal materials shining like glass fragments suspended in the air. They were intertwined and gathered together according to a certain pattern, emitting little bits of fluorescence.
"What is this?" Petra blinked, looking at the change in front of her with some surprise.
"The portal can also be said to be a fragment of this space barrier. The outsider should have entered the universe through this fragmented space similar to the 'kaleidoscope'."
Zhang Yi stared at what looked like countless hexagonal lenses in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"If I didn't know a little bit about this universe, I'm afraid I would think this is the world of [Ancient Invasion]"
The shining lens portal, the inexplicable and unknown traveler, not to mention, there are some similarities.
But Petra didn't understand what Zhang Yi meant, so she asked softly. "Ancient invasion, what is that?"
Glancing at Petra, Zhang Yi replied casually.
"There is a drama I have seen in other universes. It tells the story of a portal connecting the 'past', 'present' and 'future'. The protagonists not only have to face prehistoric creatures, but also carefully deal with the future world. monster."
"You can also watch TV series." Petra's eyes were a little surprised.
"Otherwise, I'm a human being too. I also have my hobbies. You don't think I'm a demon who keeps traveling to strange worlds and destroying them, do you?" Zhang Yi rolled his eyes.
Petra smiled and said nothing, then she bypassed the portal and came to the bathroom window.
Noticing her movements, Zhang Yi also followed her.
Squatting down, Petra stretched out her fingers and lightly touched some dust on the window sill, rubbing it carefully, and her face darkened slightly.
"Did you find anything?" Zhang Yi asked.
"The soil here is a little different." Petra replied thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi continued to ask curiously. "It's different, why is it different?"
"There have been no traces of human activity here for a long time. Apart from this portal hidden under reality, there is nothing extra. But according to my perception, the dust above is incompatible with the surrounding dust."
Petra pointed to a spot on the windowsill and tapped it gently with her hand.
"There should be a footprint here, and it should have been erased by someone. It is a very smart way to deal with the traces, but I can control the soil, and naturally I can also distinguish the composition of the soil.
I can guarantee that some of the soil left here definitely does not belong here. If something really came here through the portal, then this soil is left by that thing. "
Zhang Yi nodded slightly after listening to Petra's speculation.
Although he likes to watch criminal investigations and detective stories, Zhang Yi understands that with his own brain and knowledge reserve, it may be difficult to deduce so many things in a short time. Petra's demonstrated ability really surprised Zhang Yi.
"That means that after the other party came to this world, he left through this window, right?"
"It's most likely like this, but I'm curious as to why that guy left here. If it were me, I would definitely try my best to protect this portal, and use this as a basis to use the two worlds to complete my own Purpose."
Petra stood up in confusion and turned to look at Zhang Yi. Since she didn't know anything about time travel, she could only leave this question to Zhang Ye to think about.
Zhang Yi did not live up to her expectations and answered quickly. "I know what you want to express. The sudden appearance of such a portal connecting two universes can indeed play some role if used properly.
But you have to understand that we can't determine the identity of the other party. It's possible that that guy's universe is on the verge of destruction and is not suitable for human habitation at all. It's also possible that that guy is being hunted by someone, or something is coming with it. There are no guarantees. "
Having said this, Zhang Yi turned around and looked at the portal before continuing.
"But I think the most likely result is that the traveler cannot see the portal at all. In other words, as soon as the other person steps into this universe, he and the portal are directly separated into two realities.
Therefore, when the unknown outsider cannot see the portal blocked by the curtain, he will only wonder whether he was sent here by some inexplicable force. In this case, he will naturally not stay where he is. land. "
"So that's it." Petra nodded thoughtfully. She also felt that Zhang Yi's idea was very likely. After all, they didn't see this portal when they first came here. "What about this portal?"
"I will find a way to close it. This universe is already chaotic enough. If something else comes out of here, it will be very troublesome." Zhang Yi thought for a while and asked again. "Petra, can you find the creature that left here based on the dirt?"
"It should be possible. After all, it is soil that does not belong to this world. There are still some differences in it. If you follow the route that the other party left, you may be able to find some clues."
After a pause, Petra looked up and down at the lens portal, and couldn't help but speak.
"But sir, since a portal has appeared here, can't we enter each other's world through this portal? At least we can guess the identity of the outsider through this."
"You're quite smart." Zhang Yi burst into laughter upon hearing this.
I have to say that perhaps Petra's combat effectiveness is not as strong as other heroes, and she is just a small character, but sometimes, it is often these small characters who can provide some good ideas.
But Zhang Yi had already thought about Petra's idea.
"Your idea is good, but don't forget that this portal did not appear out of thin air. Judging from the current situation, it should not be opened by the outsider. Aren't you curious how this thing was born? ?”
"You mean-"
Petra suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened.
"There is someone else who has the ability to open teleportation gates, and that guy opened up passages to these parallel universes and sent those beings who do not belong to this universe here!?"
Zhang Yi didn't speak, but nodded slightly, acquiescing to this guess.
"But why?" Petra frowned. "Why is that guy doing this? Isn't it afraid that outsiders will cause big trouble in this world?"
"That's what I want to know too."
Zhang Yi crossed his arms and continued to speak softly.
"If we pass through this portal, we will definitely be noticed by the other party. Since the other party can connect the two universes, then that guy is definitely capable of sending us to other worlds.
At that time, our every move will be completely under the observation of the other party, just like a white mouse looking inside from the outside of the cage, and our situation will be very passive. "
"So what we have to do now is to find the outsider first, right? Wait, if you close this portal, won't it cause the other party to notice it?" Petra said.
In response, Zhang Yi just smiled and shook his head gently.
"You are looking down on me too much. I don't take the initiative to enter the teleportation gate just because I don't want to enter the opponent's field of vision too early. If I just close a teleportation point, I have many ways to hide myself."
"That's good"
Finally, Petra thought of something again and couldn't help but ask.
"Then, do you want to tell Logan about this matter?"
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment and lowered his head slightly, thinking about this matter.
Logan is now quite resistant to the 'heroic cause', which can be seen from his reaction when he sees Petra.
If Old Wolf Logan really has the idea of rebuilding the X-Men, or has the enthusiasm to revive mutants, then when he sees Petra, he will immediately take her to see Charles.
But the current situation is a bit complicated. At this time, Charles is an unstable bomb that may destroy everything around him at any time. Except for Wolverine, no one can resist Charles's mental shock.
And this also forced the old wolf Logan to let go of something, just as Charles said - Logan is now waiting for the day he dies.
In addition, Logan's own health is deteriorating. I am afraid that even if he tells the other party about this matter, it will not arouse his interest.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi waved his hand gently.
"Don't tell him yet, this is our job"
