The two searched around but found nothing, and reluctantly returned to the cell.
"It seems that space is extremely unstable here, otherwise it wouldn’t frequently hide and reappear."
Li Wenli furrowed her brows with some concern.
Bai Junjun was a complete outsider when it came to space and had no choice but to sullenly share one with Li Wenli until now.
Unlike Li Wenli, who not only had her own independent space but also shared one with her, was truly a winner in life.
Unaware that the young lady also harbored some jealousy, Li Wenli earnestly explained, "Although space floats in this world, its anomaly frequency shouldn’t be very high. After all, it’s like a small world inside, and this world is the same as the ordinary one. High-frequency movement could wear down the space barrier, and the energy of colliding barriers would get consumed quickly.
When it can’t withstand anymore, space would shatter, and the contents inside would overlap with the real world."
Bai Junjun was astonished. Ancient legends always had such instances like the Flying Peak of the Hidden Spiritual Temple, or the sudden appearance of mountains, rivers, and lakes overnight, for which people could find no cause and would attribute them to spiritual or supernatural phenomena.
Perhaps these were the result of space collapsing.
Li Wenli nodded approvingly, as though she was teaching a promising student, "Miss, you are indeed intelligent, capable of thinking by analogy."
"But that doesn’t make sense, there are so many spaces in the world. If they all collapse and fall, the world wouldn’t be able to contain them all."
"Don’t forget that between spaces there are many black holes and abysses. Sometimes when space collapses, if they don’t overlap with this time and space, they might be swallowed by black holes and abysses."
After Li Wenli finished speaking, Bai Junjun had a bad premonition.
Given her terrible luck with wealth, it was possible that the treasure she desired had mostly fallen away by now.
Li Wenli muttered guiltily, "Considering the snake fell from this space, I’m afraid quite a bit may have been lost during its wanderings.
We can only hope that this space contains enough items to last for three to five years of dropping."
Bai Junjun stretched out her hand in despair and gestured, "It’s already been three years."
"Ahem..." Li Wenli coughed suddenly, "No worries, we won’t always be out of luck."
After this round of speculation, although Bai Junjun had previously been quite relaxed, now she could not sit still for even a second.
She was eager to perform a thorough search and quickly bind the teetering and precarious space.
Otherwise, once the space shattered, her hidden treasure would be gone. Of course, losing treasure could be redeemed over time, but losing such a vast usable space would be truly painful!
Just as Bai Junjun was fraught with anxiety, footsteps were heard once again in the prison.
The Caped Old Man who entered again noticed the previous calm demeanor of the two had turned to one of urgency.
He couldn’t help but be taken aback.
They had just been acting as if even if the sky fell they wouldn’t panic, so why had they become anxious in an instant?
Indeed, they were still too young.
Just a short confinement in this cell, and all their feigned composure had fallen apart.
The old man shook his head secretly, pretending not to notice the change in the two,"I’ve checked your situation thoroughly."
Bai Junjun nodded with earnest words, "We really didn’t lie to you, so please release us quickly."
Once released, she could resume searching for treasure in the mountains.
