Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

The moment I stepped out of the space, a strange aura made my heart tighten.

There was an indescribable strangeness in the air, as if something was rotting, yet it was mixed with a faint, almost imperceptible sweetness.

I subconsciously looked at Gong Lin, whose expression had also changed, and a hint of worry appeared between his brows.

“The space…” His deep voice held a hint of disbelief, “It seems… different…”

My heart sank, and I immediately teleported back to my spatial dimension.

The once vibrant scene remains, but in the edge area, near the Misty Forest, the medicinal herbs that were originally lush and green have lost their luster, their color turning pale, as if covered by a layer of grayish-white gauze.

My breath hitched, and a chill shot up from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Is it...

The space hasn't fully recovered yet?

Just then, Mr. Zhang called, his tone even more forceful than before: "Ms. Miao, I heard your supply is having problems again? When do you plan to settle the previous payments? I can't afford to take any more risks with this shipment!"

My temples are throbbing.

Damn, the news spread so fast!

I suppressed my frustration and tried to explain in a calm tone, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, it's just a small problem that will be resolved soon. The supply agreement will remain unchanged."

“A minor issue? Miss Miao, that's what you said last time!” Mr. Zhang’s voice rose eight octaves. “I can’t joke with my business! You must pay the previous payment immediately, or we’ll have to see you in court!”

I took a deep breath and tried to control my emotions.

That old fox is clearly trying to take advantage of the chaos!

"Mr. Zhang, we've been working together for quite some time now, why bother..."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Mr. Zhang rudely interrupted me. "I only care about money! I want to see my money by noon tomorrow, or you'll face the consequences!"

I clenched my fist tightly, my nails digging deep into my flesh.

The supplier is pressing for payment, and things are acting strangely again. Has all my previous efforts been in vain?

Gong Lin walked over, gently took my hand, and noticing my trembling, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head, not wanting him to worry.

Just then, Gong Lin's phone rang, and his expression changed drastically after he answered it.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at me with a complicated expression, and slowly took a document out of his pocket...

The document that Gong Lin handed over was a supplementary agreement.

I took it with a puzzled look, quickly glanced through it, and was shocked.

It turns out that Gong Lin had been prepared all along!

This supplementary agreement clearly stipulates that if the cooperation is affected by minor issues with the supply, the supplier will be responsible for a portion of the losses.

I looked at Gong Lin in surprise, but he just smiled faintly and said, "Just in case."

The phone rang again; it was Mr. Zhang again.

His tone softened considerably, even carrying a hint of obsequiousness: "Miss Miao, I'm so sorry, I was just in a rush. Please don't take it to heart. I already know about the supplementary agreement. How about we discuss it again..."

I suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Zhang, business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships. Since the agreement has been signed, we will act in accordance with the agreement."

Mr. Zhang's voice immediately wilted: "Yes, yes, Miss Miao is right..." After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Gong Lin, my eyes filled with gratitude.

He's always like that, quietly doing everything for me.

He pulled me into his arms, gently stroking my hair, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, everything will be alright." I leaned against him, feeling his warmth, and my anxiety gradually dissipated.

His embrace is my safe haven and the source of my strength.

After a moment of silence, I raised my head, my gaze resolute: "Let's go check out the space."

He nodded, took my hand, and stepped into the space again.

However, this time, I didn't go directly to the herb field, but turned and walked to the other side, to that corner shrouded in mist...

“Wait,” I stopped, my gaze fixed on a faint light flickering deep within the mist, “there…”

Gong Lin paused slightly, following my gaze: "Misty Forest? What's there?"

I didn't answer, I just quickened my pace.

A strange premonition told me that the spatial anomalies were inextricably linked to that misty forest.

Since the last space upgrade, the area of ​​the Misty Forest has shrunk somewhat, but it remains mysterious and unpredictable.

Near the edge of the forest, the cloying, rotten smell became even stronger, making one want to vomit.

I held my breath and mobilized the power of space to form a protective shield around my body.

Gong Lin was also on guard. He gripped my hand tightly and whispered, "Be careful."

I nodded, carefully pushed aside the vines blocking my view, and stepped into the mist.

Visibility was very low, and everything around seemed hazy and unreal.

I slowed my pace and carefully observed my surroundings, afraid of missing any clues.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, I suddenly felt a faint energy fluctuation.

This fluctuation is very familiar; it's very similar to the spatial energy fluctuations that Professor Wang studied before!

My heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?

Could the spatial anomalies be related to Professor Wang's research?

I immediately stopped and carefully sensed the energy fluctuations.

Its intensity fluctuates, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, as if it were breathing.

I focused my attention, trying to trace it back to its source.

"What's wrong?" Gong Lin noticed my unusual behavior and asked with concern.

I shook my head and pointed ahead: "Have you felt... a strange energy fluctuation?"

Gong Lin closed his eyes, carefully sensed it, and then slowly opened them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "It is indeed there, very faint, but... it definitely exists."

I took a deep breath; I already had the answer in my heart.

The anomalies in space are definitely related to Professor Wang's research!

But how did he do it?

Did he find a way to enter the space?

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

If Professor Wang can actually enter the space, the consequences will be unimaginable!

He is a greedy and selfish person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

If he were to gain access to the secrets of the space, he would certainly use it for personal gain, and might even disrupt the balance of the space!

I must stop him!

I grabbed Gong Lin's hand and said firmly, "We must find the source of the energy fluctuations!"

Gong Lin nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "No matter who it is, if they dare to mess with the space, I will never let them get away with it!"

We continued deeper into the misty forest, following the direction from which the energy fluctuations originated.

The fog around us grew thicker and the visibility decreased, but we did not hesitate for a moment, because we knew that the answer lay ahead...

Suddenly, I felt as if I had stepped on something. I looked down and my expression changed drastically.

"Blood..." I murmured, "It's blood..."

Gong Lin also saw it, and his expression turned serious: "This..."

My gaze fell on an ancient tree not far away, with a strange symbol carved on its trunk, emitting a faint red glow.

“That’s…” My heart skipped a beat, “Professor Wang’s research notes also have this symbol…”

Gong Lin grabbed me and said in a deep voice, "Be careful!"

Just then, a sinister voice came from the mist behind the tree: "Heh heh, I didn't expect you to actually find this place..."

We looked in the direction of the sound and saw Professor Wang and his assistant Chen slowly emerge from the mist, their faces bearing sinister smiles.

Seeing them instantly cleared up my doubts.

Sure enough it was them!

"Professor Wang," I asked coldly, suppressing my anger, "what exactly did you do?"

Professor Wang laughed triumphantly: "Miao Qing, you're still too naive! Did you think I would be so kind as to help you repair the space? I just left a small 'backdoor' during the repair process."

"The back door?" My heart sank, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

“That’s right,” Professor Wang said ominously, “With this ‘backdoor,’ I can control your space at any time! Your space is mine now!”

"You're dreaming!" Gong Lin roared and was about to rush forward, but I stopped him.

"Don't be impulsive," I whispered. "Since he dared to show up, he must have something to rely on."

I carefully observed Professor Wang and Assistant Chen and found that they both emitted a faint spatial energy fluctuation.

The fluctuation was very subtle, but it made me uneasy.

"Hehe," Professor Wang seemed to see through my thoughts and said smugly, "You didn't expect that, did you? I've already mastered the power of space! Now, your space is mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding mist suddenly churned, and a powerful suction force pulled me and Gong Lin toward Professor Wang.

"Not good!" I cried out inwardly and quickly mobilized my spatial power to resist.

However, the suction was so strong that I couldn't resist it at all.

Just as Gong Lin and I were about to be sucked into Professor Wang's control, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way.

"Gong Lin," I said urgently, "use your superpower!"

Gong Lin was taken aback, but then he understood what I meant.

He immediately unleashed his supernatural power, and a powerful energy wave instantly spread out, dispersing the surrounding mist.

The suction disappeared.

I took the opportunity to use my spatial powers to pull myself and Gong Lin back to a safe place.

"Damn it!" Professor Wang's expression changed, and he roared, "You actually..."

“Professor Wang,” I interrupted him with a cold laugh, “do you think you’re the only one who can use spatial powers?”

I stretched out my hand, and a small vortex appeared in my palm.

The vortex spun slowly, emitting a powerful suction force.

"You...you actually..." Professor Wang looked at me in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief.

I ignored him and instead focused my attention on him and Assistant Chen.

"No!" Professor Wang cried out in despair as he was sucked into the vortex.

Assistant Chen followed closely behind and disappeared into the vortex.

The vortex slowly disappeared, and the surrounding mist gradually dissipated.

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Gong Lin, only to find him staring intently at the symbols on the ancient tree.

"What's wrong?" I asked confusedly.

He pointed to the symbol and said in a deep voice, "This symbol..."
