Otherworldly Affairs Office
Chapter 451 451 Intelligence Handover (Request for Subscription)
In the secret underground chamber of the Investigation Office, Gu Shenghui looked grimly at the increasingly bright circle of light in front of him. Upon receiving the dimensional invasion report, he immediately dropped his work and urgently mobilized all senior combat personnel within the office to gather here.
Because he deeply understood what the dimensional fluctuation at this location meant. The Plane Wall Breaker specifically created for Pei Yan by the Investigation Office not only served to break weak spots of the Plane Barrier but more importantly improved by adding a positioning passage function, forcibly correcting the originally random passage to possibly lead to various planes to the current location before him.
In such a short time since Pei Yan's departure, he reopened the Space Passage to return. Gu Shenghui understood this was absolutely not in line with this kid's character. Such a situation either meant he urgently needed to send intelligence back to the real world or he had already fallen into a desperate situation and was being chased.
Regardless of which situation was causing Gu Shenghui to heighten the alert level to the highest, he even recalled the Origin Elite Squad who had already entered the special training space for this.
As time slowly passed amidst everyone nervously waiting, even the usually unflappable Gu Shenghui had beads of cold sweat on his forehead, continuously checking his watch and repeatedly asking Yao Xuefang beside him from the equipment department: "How much longer?"
"Breaking through the barrier roughly takes an hour, but- but- but this time is uncertain, it depends on the fragile extent of the weak spot of the barrier," said Yao Xuefang nervously, glancing at her watch, "It's already been fifty minutes, the space collapse intensity is still expanding, it should soon form a Space Passage."
Just as the two were speaking, Zhao Yuanhu shouted in a low voice, "Look quickly, the Space Passage is starting to form!"
Upon hearing, Gu Shenghui suddenly lifted his head as Zhao Yuanhu had said, in the void in front, the circle of light started to disintegrate, and a yellow light curtain gradually formed. Seeing this, Gu Shenghui immediately ordered: "All combat personnel prepare for action, medical team, space transport team stand by!"
Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became tense, everyone posed in combat stances in this highly tense atmosphere. Ten minutes quickly passed, and as soon as the space passage stabilized, a light beam shot straight out.
"It's Pei Yan!" Pei Jin instantly recognized his mechanically inclined brother with joy.
"Someone is chasing behind him, prepare for combat! Xiaoyu!" Gu Shenghui, fully focused, did not let down his guard despite seeing Pei Yan safe. His eyes quickly shifted to the depths of the passage as over a dozen figures leaped out; he decisively issued an order.
With a loud boom, without waiting for the newcomers to speak, a massive gravitational field was unleashed, and aside from Pei Yan, everyone else was suppressed to the ground in surprise, the overwhelming pressure causing subordinates with lower strength apart from the lead pursuer to spit out blood.
"Hey! Hey! Stop, they're allies! Allies!" Pei Yan managed to catch his breath, hearing heavy thuds on the ground behind him. Turning around, he saw his sister and Ye Ruozai were ready to strike, seeing this he hurriedly raised his voice.
With the tip of a sword pointed at the back of Xiaonai's neck, Ye Ruozai looked up at Pei Yan, puzzled: "Allies?"
"Ah, right, the details will be explained later, stay alert for now, we might have enemies attacking! Xiaoyu, release them, these people are Hell Realm envoys." After speaking to Xiaoyu, Pei Yan activated the sonic translator and said to Xiaonai in Demon Race language, "It's a misunderstanding, they will release you shortly, for your lord, for the Hell Plane, and for our cooperation, I urge you not to develop resentment over this minor incident."
"We can escape this suppression by ourselves, yet Bailang reiterated for me to follow your orders upon sending me. My actions indicate my sincerity, so can you have your companions lift the suppression?" Xiaonai, knowing the importance of this negotiation, relaxed entirely, offering no resistance, allowing himself to be subdued, quietly responded.
After hearing his reply, Pei Yan nodded to Xiaoyu and Ye Ruozai, and once his companions withdrew the suppression, without minding the unpleasant-looking Xiaonai, Demon Race envoy, who climbed from the ground, he swiftly approached Gu Shenghui, saying solemnly: "I have critical intelligence from the Hell Plane to report; these people are Demon Race envoys, you should arrange for their reception. By the way, my name in the Hell Plane is Shitang Longsi, ensure the reception staff don't let anything slip."
Listening to Pei Yan's narrative, Gu Shenghui kept nodding, though filled with questions, knowing he discerned the urgency of matters, he turned to Yu Zhongmin beside him, saying: "Yu Chu, you heard what Pei Yan said; please take these people for a rest with tight surveillance, you personally handle it!"
"Understood!" Yu Zhongmin nodded, immediately putting on the translator and headset. With a wide smile, he approached Xiaonai and others; after conversing with them, Xiaonai looked at Pei Yan with an inquiring gaze, and Pei Yan nodded to him in Demon Race language: "Go with him, he is my superior, someone will specifically receive you later; you'll discuss what happens in the Hell Plane and matters of cooperation with him."
As Yu Zhongmin enthusiastically led the uneasy Xiaonai and his party out of the underground chamber, Pei Yan looked at Gu Shenghui, Elder Lin, Elder Zuo, and the others, saying: "Let's not talk here, the time difference between the two realms is vast; every minute here equates to several hours there. I have a lot to cover, and utilizing the time difference there allows me to speak more clearly; plus, some things need verification, please select representatives sensing the Spirit Monster Plane's animals to accompany me into the Hell Plane, remember to adjust your breathing when entering, the oxygen level is too high inside; you might suffer from oxygen toxicity."
"Understood, we have experience from the last entry." Gu Shenghui did not hesitate, along with Elder Lin and others, they first followed Pei Yan into the Space Passage. As the light flashed, upon reappearing in the Hell Plane, Pei Yan focused on the non-Origin-altered Gu Shenghui and others. Observing Elder Lin and Elder Zuo's reactions as they turned pale, Pei Yan realized the Red Disaster's effect held suppression even for non-foundation plane origins of other superpower users.
Understanding this layer, he perplexedly looked at Gu Shenghui who showed no adverse reactions; how could he not be affected if he wasn't an Origin Superpower User?
"Let's hear the specifics!" Elder Lin, feeling his power severely compressed, looked at Pei Yan, knowing such circumstances was one of the reasons Pei Yan called them here.
Upon confirming the environment's safety relayed by the alert robots, Pei Yan slightly relaxed, then proceeded to tell everyone about the myriad of events that had occurred during this period. Toward the end of his narration, he shook his hand until a USB drive formed in his grip, handing it to Gu Shenghui, saying: "Here's stored everything I've seen and heard in the Hell Plane, including video footage and personal information, take it back for thorough analysis."
