Void Jigsaw Puzzle

After Zhong Chenmu returned to Wuming City, he did not leave People's Square for a moment.

He was always expecting two people to walk down from the entrance and exit platform.

Guo Ling and Hydron Chen.

However, after waiting for a whole night, many people returned from Taibai Star, but they did not show up.

Zhong Chenmu felt a little surprised.

"Could it be that, because Qingchen hasn't given him any feedback, Brother Guo has remained in virtual form? However, after he repeatedly contacted Qingchen, if Qingchen has been infected or controlled by the Wangba Clan, they should have found him quickly and infected him as well. And once infected, according to my plan just now, he must return to Wuming City immediately. So, whether he finds Qingchen or not, he should be back soon..."

Thinking of this, Zhong Chenmu ran back to the platform and entered Taibai Star.

As it was late at night, there were almost no physical people on the streets of Taibai Star. Zhong Chenmu hurriedly walked around several times but did not see Guo Ling.

He gritted his teeth and switched to virtual form. The moment he completed the switch, he sent a message into the void: "Guo Ling, answer received!"

There is no response.

His heart tightened, and he immediately switched back to his physical form and returned to Wuming City.

"Oh no! Could Brother Guo also be infected?"

Zhong Chenmu felt a little uneasy.

This plan was originally his idea, and he always felt that it was foolproof because as long as Guo Ling and Qing Chen returned to Wuming City in physical form, even if both of them had been possessed by the Turtle Clan, he would have a way to reset it and eliminate the influence of the Turtle Clan.

But the result now is that both of them have lost contact.

He immediately wanted to find Qiong Yi again, but then gave up the idea. Judging from Qiong Yi's cautious attitude, she had already planned to sacrifice Qiong Chen and prohibited other supervisors from contacting her. Why would she care about the life and death of Guo Ling, an outsider?

As the leader of the Hydrogen Tribe, Hydron Memory truly possesses extraordinary abilities, capable of perfectly recreating the digital, virtual form of Wuming City's civilization. He also possesses boundless authority, knowing the whereabouts of anyone in his tribe, including Hydron Chen. However, the Turtle Tribe simply cannot control him or them! "Isn't your system of order, rules, and authority sufficiently sophisticated and complete? Isn't it capable of self-evolving and sustainable development? Then I will destroy it and throw you off balance!"

"...If, as Hydron Yi said, he can sense Hydron Chen's existence, then that means Hydron Chen is still on Taibai Star... No! No! I'm stuck in a fixed mindset! Hydron Yi is the leader of the Hydron Clan and can sense the entire Hydron Clan territory, the entire Wuxian-Corona Borealis Great Wall structure, not just Taibai Star! In other words, if Hydron Chen is no longer on Taibai Star, he can still sense it, but we probably won't be able to find it. After all, according to our current understanding, information transmission is based on the element nodes as the boundary and cannot be crossed. In other words, we can only communicate with people within the service range of the element nodes on the dome of Taibai Star..."

The more he thought about it, the more Zhong Chenmu felt that he had missed some possibilities.

If Hydron Chen was no longer on Taibai Star, Guo Ling naturally would not be able to find her. Now that Guo Ling had no response, there were only two possibilities: either he had been infected by the Wangba Clan and the Wangba Clan wanted to remain silent for the time being, or he had left Taibai Star, or at least the area covered by the dome element nodes of Taibai Star.

Zhong Chenmu naturally believed that Guo Ling had the ability to transmit through elemental nodes. After all, he had learned about this mechanism from Qing Chen, and now he had fully mastered the three steps of "virtual and real duality".

"I can only pray that Brother Guo has gone to another area..."

Zhong Chenmu finally decided to go back and rest. There was no other way for the time being. Perhaps when he woke up from a good sleep and his mind was clearer, he would have a new idea that would flash on his mind.

However, he didn't sleep well that night, and he came to the office in Linjiang Building in a daze early the next morning.

But he didn't expect that Fan Ting was already there with Zhu Tong.

Zhu Tong was concentrating on eating a bag of rice cakes, with a bag of soy milk placed in front of him.

"Sister Fan, why are you here so early?" Zhong Chenmu asked.

"Let's talk while we do it..." Fan Ting looked at Zhu Tong and gestured to Zhong Chenmu.

Zhong Chenmu nodded and walked towards the small meeting room next to him.

"Be good, little boy. Eat your breakfast here slowly. I'm going to talk to your brother Xiao Zhong about something."

"Yeah!" Zhu Tong nodded obediently and answered vaguely with a mouth full of rice.

As soon as they entered the small conference room and closed the door, Fan Ting asked, "When will you be able to fully master that 'dual nature of reality and illusion' you mentioned?"

Zhong Chenmu was stunned: "Sister Fan, is there anything that needs to be mastered immediately? My original plan was to let everyone in Wuming City master it at once, but if you need it, I can help you first."

Fan Ting nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed of... him again."

Zhong Chenmu asked, "Him? Brother Guo?"

"..."

Fan Ting blushed: "You are such a smart kid! How could it be Guo Ling? It's my first love!"

Zhong Chenmu suppressed his laughter: "Oh, the one with the surname Zhang?"

"Yes, Zhang Chuyu."

"So you hope to master the duality of reality and illusion so you can find him?"

"Yes! In my dream, I felt that he was still alive, but I didn't know where exactly he was, but he was definitely not in Wuming City anymore."

"Sister Fan, I'm not trying to persuade you. It's okay that Brother Guo is still obsessed with his wife, but why can't you get over your first love even though they've broken up for so many years? In fact, there's no need for this reason. As long as you say it, I can help you master the 'duality of virtuality and reality' right away." Zhong Chenmu finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

Fan Ting put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey! You innocent little brat, what do you know? If I hadn't met so many scumbags and had comparisons with them, how would I know the good of first love? If you don't improve your moral character, don't let women play you to death in the future! Since you can let me control you right away, then hurry up, hurry up!"

"Okay, okay...I was wrong, I will correct myself immediately..."

After a moment, Fan Ting felt a fleeting feeling of dizziness, and then came to her senses.

She asked in surprise, "Is that all?"

"Yeah." Zhong Chenmu nodded. "You can enter Taibai Star from People's Square to experience it. However, I don't recommend you go now. The Turtle Clan has already invaded Taibai Star. You know what happened the last time I was here. Besides, Brother Guo is also missing."

"What? Guo Ling is missing?"
