Xyrin Empire

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Chaotic World

The towering shopping mall blocked the sunlight coming from the right side of the alley, shrouding the narrow path, no more than two to three meters wide, in shadows.

Blinking, we all stared at the wall of the massive shopping mall, a feeling stemming from an unknown source spreading through us—it wasn’t fear. There technically wasn’t anything left in this world that could scare us, but facing something completely abnormal, even bizarrely unknown, nervousness was inevitable.

“Hey, Sandora, you remember how it was when we entered, right…”

I said, somewhat unsure, and Sandora immediately followed up, “Ah, yes, I remember. The shopping mall was on the left side of the alley when we came in.”

“This situation can’t be explained with common sense,” Big Sister said with an inscrutable smile, then backed up a few steps.

She had been following us in last into the alley, and now by merely stepping back a bit, she broke away from the entrance. Standing there, she glanced inside, and then used spiritual connection to inform us, “To the left, that’s right, from where I’m standing the shopping mall is on the left side of the alley.”

Big Sister’s words finally convinced me that I had once again been drawn into some eerie incident—why did I say ‘once again’? Had I tragically reached a point where, even without the troublesome aggregation called Lin Xue, I could still find myself entangled with all sorts of vexing incidents?

“A small-scale space distortion?”

I uttered a technical term I had only recently learned, which seemed to fit the current phenomenon, but Little Baobao immediately started babbling and gesturing to me, looking quite skeptical of my guess.

“She says you’re wrong, but the little girl’s description is too abstract; probably only the Xyrin Host could understand it,” Sandora shook her head, “I’ll get in touch with Bubbles to have her come over.”

“Let’s not rush,” Big Sister walked back and forth at the entrance of the alley several times, seeming to have discovered something, “If we, a group of Imperial Leaders, get stumped by an inconspicuous supernatural alley, that would be truly embarrassing.”

Regrettably, as the saying goes, combat power is utterly useless against such strange and mystic phenomena. Just look at Pandora over there—she’s already pulling out miniature space internal explosion bombs.

Seriously, that’s a peculiar way to solve a mystery, kiddo!

Well, anyway, stumbling upon a space-distorted ghost alley in broad daylight in a modern city is already an odd twist in the tale.
