Mochizuki Masashi added, "However, it’s truly incredible that you managed to acquire this Deep Red Intelligent Brain Robot. As far as I know, with the resources in the Deep Red World, a machine of this level is considered a high-level asset. There aren’t many Quantum Processors with this computational power in the current world."
"Inner Tide, what do you mean?" Lin Xian asked.
"It’s the phenomenon you are witnessing," Mochizuki Masashi said. "In the current location, the inner tide rises every 30 minutes and falls every 60 minutes. After the tide rises, you can see those Abnormal Bodies. As long as there is no Dark Mark after the tide rises, you will have 60 minutes of safe time."
Upon hearing this, Ning Jing frowned immediately, "What? Don’t those monsters appear with the darkness?"
Mochizuki Masashi nodded, "That’s a very good question. This involves two concepts. One, what is darkness to the monsters, and two, what is darkness to us."
As he spoke, he lightly tapped the air, and immediately, a giant holographic projection appeared in the air.
Mochizuki Masashi, with a youthful voice but a talkative nature, spoke rapidly, "To us humans, darkness is about vision, about temperature. But for these creatures, it’s not like that. Many people have a misunderstanding about the Dark Creatures, thinking that the Abnormal Bodies only appear because of the darkness. But obviously, they don’t disappear because of the light."
The holographic projection displayed a giant simulation of the Star Abyss, resembling a vortex on Blue Star. Under Mochizuki Masashi’s fingers, the vortex in the Star Abyss continuously expanded.
"Many people understand the Dark Tide only by its literal meaning, but the tide is not a wave. If it were explained differently, like an elastic fabric or the surface of a balloon, the tide rising is when the fabric and balloon are stretched, area expanding; the tide falling is when they contract. This fabric is the area these creatures can survive in, or you could say, the area that overlaps with our world."
"Area, um... if described with a more academic term, dimension."
Mochizuki Masashi tucked his hands into the sleeves of his robe, resembling a young Taoist yet explaining scientific content to everyone, making the scene seem somewhat odd.
He continued, "You must have noticed the time expansion effect here, right? Indeed, when you stand on this fabric, time is stretched out."
Lin Xian was shocked upon hearing this. A 30-minute tide rise, and he suddenly understood something. According to what Mochizuki Masashi said, at the moment the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes exploded, their train position not only cleared the Dark Mark but also indicated it was precisely at the tide fall, so all the monsters disappeared. They achieved a very subtle safety balance at that moment!
"So, are you hiding here to find a way to move Silent City?" Lin Xian asked directly.
Mochizuki Masashi glanced at Lin Xian with a smile, "I directly control Silent City; it can be moved at any time. However, due to some issues, we have to solve them first."
"What issues?"
"The first problem is that the Nuclear Power Core of Silent City is locked by the Star Abyss Beast here. Once activated, there is over a 99% chance of being directly destroyed. But a while ago, that monster moved toward Xilan City, and from current observations, the crisis seems to have lessened somewhat."
Mochizuki Masashi’s words instantly shocked everyone present.
Everyone immediately thought of the previous great battle in Xilan City, where the Cloud Black Thorn, acting as a Scout, tried to guide a terrifying creature to Xilan City. Combined with Mochizuki Masashi’s words, they couldn’t help but link it together.
"Star Abyss Beast, S-Class?"
"No." Qian Suxun, who was standing silently nearby, spoke up, "From the observations, that is definitely the overlord of Star Abyss No.5. Masashi now calls this type of creature..."
"Abyss Demon."
"And what is the second problem?" KIKI immediately asked.
At this moment, Mochizuki Masashi looked at Lin Xian and everyone else, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"That brings us to the issue of why we could meet here. From the calculations, it seems there is something that exists..."
"that doesn’t want us to leave."
