Chapter 1023: 318. Hullabaloo_4

Letter after letter arrived in Noland Lee’s hands, detailing the progress of the opening of the Outer Space Gap.

After consultation, the Mass Wizard Tombs and the Wizard Advancement Association unanimously agreed not to reverse the opening process of the gap.

They decided to let the gap open, to first see if the Pollution Zone could evolve into a domain-level exceptional phenomenon, and only afterward discuss whether to clear the zone or close the gap.

This was an approach aligned with the pursuit of the “extraordinary,” fully embodying the wizards’ desire for “great extraordinary power.”

“Sir, the Sound Collection Array of the Scout Mech has detected a sound that human ears cannot hear,” said Nolin, using “Mind Induction.”

“I can confirm that this sound is not cosmic noise, it has just appeared now.”

...

“Oh?”

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow.

He fumbled in his Magic Pouch and pulled out an Alchemy Item inscribed with the “Sound Collection Array,” placing it by his ear.

The “Sound Collection Array” collected the sound Nolin mentioned, and the Alchemy Item played it back:

“Hoo~~~~~ha~~~~~~hoo~~~~~~”

It sounded like the wind.

Noland Lee frowned.

The noise sounded much like blowing into a microphone, noisy and clamorous.

“Hoo~~ha—hoo hoo~~hahaha—”

The sound started to change.

It became boisterous, as if many people were shouting frantically inside a cave.

Ethereal echoes, wave after wave.

“Hoo—hahahaha~~~hoo—ahahahaha~~~~”

The sound turned frenzied, exuding an air of madness, as if hundreds or thousands of drunk people were running wildly through tunnels, laughing wildly, and shouting loudly.

Madness… tunnels…

Noland Lee’s eyes widened, flashing with disbelief!

“Boom…”

A muffled vibration came from the direction of the City of Exiles.

The ground shook violently, and the thick fog of the Evil Mist Swamp churned like a raging sea surface.

In that instant, even without the aid of Alchemy Items, Noland Lee could hear the maddening shouts.

“Hoo~~wahahaha—hoo—hahaha—heeheehee~~~hahaha~~~”

“Sir, look quickly to our west, the scenery there has undergone a drastic change!”

At the sound, Noland Lee turned to look, and his pupils slowly contracted.

An indescribable Pollution Zone was rapidly replacing the Stone Forest to the west.

It looked like an immensely huge Yarn Ball, with various tubular grey lines wrapped together.

As it expanded, the grey tubular Things inflated and contracted, turning into something akin to grey blood vessels with densely packed sores appearing on the surface.

The sores opened and closed with the movement of the grey blood vessels, spreading a skin-crawling cacophony.

Each sore was a source of sound.

Every time they opened, they spat out a loud, unintelligible din.

Their densely packed sores wove a vast and unbounded roar of noise, incessantly invading Noland Lee’s brain.

The grey blood vessels themselves were particularly thick, with a diameter not less than 30 meters, big enough to allow mankind to move through, much like entwined tubular passages.

The insides of the grey blood vessels were dark, while their surfaces were slick and shiny, as if covered in mucus.

“System, initiate Harmless Deconstruction!”

Noland Lee thought silently to himself.

After a brief stupefaction, Noland Lee discerned a small part of the truth.

[System Information:]

[You have consumed 100 million points of energy to initiate Harmless Deconstruction.]

[Your degree of deconstruction has reached 0.01%.]

[You have obtained a very small part of the information:]

[Name]Bustling Tunnel

[Type]Pollution Zone

(Due to insufficient deconstruction progress, you have not obtained more information.) noveldrama

…

“Bustling Tunnel… it truly is the Bustling Tunnel…”

Noland Lee’s heart pounded.

Among the five sub-dimensional planes mentioned by the Assassin Angel, the one ranked first was the sub-dimensional plane known as “Bustling Tunnel.”
