Chapter 1643 Sky City (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

He had actually already read through these documents once, but his focus had been on the documents that clearly identified the children of the victims of the Future Tower crash.

This time, his focus was on children whose parents were not on the list of victims.

For example, Finn.

Finn's experience is a little different from Loren and Sylvie's. His parents did not die, but disappeared. Because they had been missing for too long and had not paid rent and tuition, they were expelled from the boarding school and the case was reported to the court.

Because he had no living direct relatives and no collateral relatives were willing to adopt him—and pay his tuition and rent bills—he was sent directly to an orphanage.

He was also one of the children who stayed in the orphanage the longest.

Finn was sent to the orphanage about nine years ago. Loren had heard Finn say that his parents had also gone to work in Willens.

During his 'communication' with the leader of the Black Wolf Gang, He Ao confirmed that the orphanage and Yin Fu Intelligence had a 'cooperation' and would provide 'volunteers' for Yin Fu Intelligence's prosthetic body development experiments, with the experimental area located in the Sanlian Building.

In this way, they can remove children who do not meet the 'conditions' from the orphanage one by one.

The rest are the children they wanted.

Heo saw in the 'Bishop's' memory that the Archbishop had given the Bishop of Xiluo City a list and asked him to find the child and deal with the child's relatives according to the list.

He Ao couldn't recall finding the specific list at the time, but he was certain that all the children were on the list when the fire occurred.

In other words, Finn himself was also the bishop's 'target'.

Judging from the immense power Finn displayed during the orphanage anomaly, he should indeed be part of the anomaly cult's plan.

Therefore, if the time and place match up, Finn's parents should also be victims of the future building collapse.

Given that no one in Silo is willing to adopt Finn, it's highly likely that all of Finn's parents' reliable relatives in Silo have passed away.

With only Finn left, he struggled to pay rent and eat, unable to learn about the collapse of the Future Tower or even retrieve his parents' bodies.

The list of victims in the Future Building also included many unidentified and unclaimed remains, which were ultimately burned by Fuyin Intelligence.

That's where the problem arises.

Since the Willens authorities, the Abnormal Association, and the FBI were unaware that Finn's parents were victims of the Future Tower crash, it's surprising that...

How did they find out about the abnormal cult?
He Ao frowned slightly as he looked through the orphanage's files.

In fact, the unusual existence of orphanages is quite peculiar.

It is not a purely naturally occurring anomaly as the Anomaly Association understands it, but rather one that is 'created' by humans.

According to the 'bishop's' memory, he gathered all the children on the archbishop's orders and then created this anomaly through a specific procedure.

Extending this line of thought, the anomaly of the "endless corridor" in the Three Towers seems to be strongly related to the orphanage.

Besides the 'Endless Corridor', the 'Unchanging House' where Siwei exists also has some connection with the orphanage.

To be precise, it's not that they have a relationship with the orphanage itself, but rather that they have a relationship with the children in the orphanage.

It is likely that every child in the orphanage is 'crucial' and possesses some kind of 'power' to intervene in abnormalities.

To this day, He Ao still hasn't figured out why Siwei was able to escape from the orphanage's anomalies and "return home" to live in the "Unchanging House".

Siwei has no memory of that time either.

But He Ao speculated that she most likely left the orphanage because of some kind of influence.

In some ways, this might also confirm that the children in the orphanage possess a certain power to 'interfere' with abnormalities.

When the orphanage was born out of the blue, it couldn't even 'restrain' all the children, and one child ran away.

These children, born into different families, many of whom had no prior connection, shared the commonality that their parents were all victims of the Future Tower collapse.

From a mystical perspective, this might be some kind of 'symbol'.

A kind of sacrificial 'symbol'.

He Ao stared silently at the documents in his hand.

Many mystical academic practices support the concept of 'blood sacrifice,' whereby parents sacrifice themselves to grant their children certain blessings.

Or conversely, children are sacrificed to bring blessings to the parents.

The incident at the Future Building gave He Ao a similar feeling.

Those who perished may have become some kind of 'sacrifice,' offered to the abnormal in order to grant their children 'special' qualities.

Of course, this is most likely not something they did 'actively', and they may not even know about it.

However, some people have taken advantage of this blood-related sacrificial connection.

It seems that the Future Building does indeed have problems, and big problems at that.

He Ao lowered his gaze and fell into deep thought.

The sky outside the window had completely darkened, leaving only a pitch-black expanse.

At that moment, the plane seemed to be passing through a thick cloud, with wisps of fog constantly flashing past the windows.

thump—

After passing through a cloud layer, the plane began to shake violently.

Air turbulence?

woo-

At that very moment, a piercing alarm suddenly blared in the cabin.

The lights throughout the cabin turned red.

He Ao raised his eyes and looked out the window.

In the darkness outside the porthole, a shadowy figure was vaguely suspended in the air.

boom--

Just as He Ao was watching, a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the scene between heaven and earth.

It also slightly illuminated a part of the shadow that was suspended in the air.

A blurry reflection of a city, hanging upside down in the sky, came into He'ao's view.

What is this? A mirage?
"What's going on?!" At this moment, Ryan, who was sitting opposite Heo, also woke up. He looked up at the flashing warning lights, jumped up, and rushed to the cockpit.

He Ao also suddenly stood up and followed Ryan's steps.

boom--

At that very moment, another bolt of lightning flashed past the plane, and the violent air turbulence caused the entire aircraft to shake.

Siwei, who was still fast asleep on the sofa, was suddenly thrown into the air, then landed on the floor and shattered with a loud crack.

The little doll suddenly returned to normal, looking blankly at the flashing lights around her. "Big guy, what's wrong?"

Her gaze followed He Ao as he entered the cockpit, and she quickly caught up, calling out, "Big guy, wait for me!"

Inside the cockpit, Ryan was already seated in the driver's seat, had fastened his seatbelt, and pulled the control lever.

"What's wrong?" He Ao asked, looking at the dense array of lights flashing on the control panel and the warning pop-ups, with some confusion.

“The plane encountered turbulence, the ground detection radar is malfunctioning, we need to switch to manual control,” Ryan said quickly. “But don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. We should be fine once we get out of here. But there shouldn’t be any turbulence in this airspace.”

boom--

As they were speaking, another bolt of lightning flashed outside, illuminating the sky.

“Thunderstorm clouds,” Ryan said, pulling the control stick as he watched the lightning flash across the sky. “Holy crap, where are we? How come there are thunderstorm clouds in the middle of winter?”

“It looks like there’s something outside our window—” He Ao said immediately at that moment.

Boom boom boom——

But before he could finish speaking, several more flashes of light streaked across the sky, illuminating the horizon.

The magnificent city, hanging upside down in the sky, was reflected in everyone's pupils.

"My God," Siwei, who had just walked in, stared wide-eyed at everything, "a tall building has grown in the sky."

thump—

Just then, the plane suddenly shook violently up and down and plummeted. He Ao's body floated into the sky due to the brief weightlessness, while Siwei crashed directly into the cabin ceiling.

He reached out and grabbed her to prevent her from hitting the roof and breaking it again.

At this moment, Ryan, whose face had turned somewhat pale, had stabilized the plane.

He Ao landed from the sky, quickly sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and strapped Siwei to his chest as well.

The light that had illuminated the sky by lightning had dimmed, and the view outside the window was no longer clearly visible.

“I was just about to say this,” Heo said quickly, looking at Ryan. “That city outside seems to be getting closer and closer to us.”

“That’s the anomaly ‘Sky City’,” Ryan said, seemingly managing to control his emotions. He glanced at Heo and quickly said, “The anomaly number is 003, a level zero anomaly.”

"You guys have level zero?" He Ao's eyes widened.

This abnormal area is even crazier than the outside world; danger is everywhere.

“A Level 1 anomaly that exceeds the city’s control and can cause large-scale changes in celestial phenomena will be classified as Level 0,” Ryan said quickly and loudly. “But Level 0 anomalies are rare. I’ve only seen information on two of them, one of which is ‘Sky City’.”

As he spoke, he pulled the control stick forcefully, changing the aircraft's flight direction.

Ryan's position in the Anomalous Association seems to be much higher than Reed's, and he knows more secrets.

"Since you've named it, you should know its characteristics and rules, right?" He looked at the nervous Ryan. "Is this anomaly dangerous? How can we escape?"

Upon hearing this question, Ryan paused for a moment before exclaiming, "There's no way to escape! If you enter Sky City, the danger level will actually decrease significantly, and there will be rules for leaving smoothly. However, if you encounter Sky City in the sky, there are no 'precedents' of escaping alive. Even a B-level superhuman will only face certain death."

"What are you talking about?" Siwei, who was tied to He's chest, shouted. "What do you mean by 'you can't survive if you meet him, but you can survive if you go in'? Can you even go in if you don't meet him?"

“I’m afraid it really is,” Heo realized what Ryan meant and said loudly, “The rules for entering this ‘Sky City’ are probably different from the rules for ‘seeing’ it.”

Siwei was still somewhat dazed.

But He Ao had no time to explain further. He directly raised his bracelet and connected it to the control panel. "Ryank, grant me the highest level of access."

"What are you going to do?" Ryan asked, somewhat bewildered, but still granted Heo access.

He Ao immediately put Eve in charge of the aircraft's control system. He looked up at the window and said loudly, "So you've found out what's outside Sky City?"

The sudden turbulence shook the plane, and frost covered the windshield, forming a thin barrier on it.

“The association doesn’t have much information either,” Ryan said loudly. “They only know that the outer side of Sky City is surrounded by turbulent air currents and thunderstorm clouds, while the inner side seems to have chaotic spaces. However, once you enter the outer air currents, you will lose your direction and be swept into the inner side by the air currents.”

At that moment, the radar detection map of the outside of the aircraft suddenly appeared on the control screen on the cockpit.

“The airflow on the outside is thinner than that on the inside,” He Ao said, looking at the probe map. He quickly pulled the control stick to steer the aircraft. “We should just brush past the airflow; maybe we’ll have a chance to escape.”

As He Ao made his move, the entire plane began to tilt sharply, and the sound of things shattering came from the passenger cabin.

Ryan was slightly taken aback.

boom--

A brilliant flash of lightning streaked across the sky once more, faintly illuminating the path ahead of the plane.

A magnificent city appeared faintly in front of the plane, and it seemed even larger than before.

“We’re doomed,” Ryan said, trembling, as he looked at the upside-down city ahead.

He Ao's face darkened.

There are problems with the spatial structure.

Drop drop-

A cacophony of alarms blared from the control panel, each one indicating a radar malfunction.

He Ao didn't have time to explain anything at the moment. While adjusting his direction, he continued to ask quickly and loudly, "Does the Sky City only appear in the sky?"

“Yes,” Ryan responded loudly. “Sky City appears at an altitude of about 10,000 meters, and it is completely random. The association has not yet received any sightings below 9,000 meters.”

At that moment, a huge pop-up window appeared in front of He Ao.

The engine is too cold.

If the engine freezes and stalls, then it's all over.

He Ao lowered his gaze, pushed the control stick forward, and the entire aircraft changed direction, beginning to dive directly downwards.

“What are you going to do?” Ryan shouted.

"Judging from what you just said, have you received any live eyewitness accounts?" He Ao asked loudly.

“Yes, but that was when there was no airflow involved. The witnesses were just at a very far distance, seeing similar airflows from the outside,” Ryan shouted.

“The fact that you managed to graz the edge means,” He Ao said coldly, “that you still had a chance to escape from the outside.”

Ryan looked at Heo, wanting to refute, but at that moment the entire plane had already completed its dive and was hurtling downwards.

The still-intact high-precision radar showed the current state of the aircraft's surroundings, with the surrounding clouds becoming increasingly thin.

Have the opportunity!
Go down, and you can get out.

At that moment, He Ao felt a slight change in his own gravity.

In that instant, he suddenly realized something, adjusted his course, and moved forward in the direction of gravity.

There's a problem with space, but not with gravity.
