I Am A Concept God! The Country Makes Me An Ancestor

Chapter 74 Light Up The Darkness And Use Yourself As A Lamp

Ye Ren took out his cell phone and dialed Lin Yixuan's number again.

The moment the call was connected, noisy voices, screams, and collisions of objects came from the other end, intertwining into chaos, which was in sharp contrast to the empty supermarket in front of Ye Ren.

Lin Yixuan's voice struggled to squeeze out among the noise:

"Comrade, the situation here is getting worse and worse. How are you doing?"

Ye Ren said in a deep voice: "We have arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, but... we can't see anyone..."

The other end was stunned for a moment when these words came out.

Lin Yixuan told Ye Ren: "People are crowding at the exit, can't you see us?"

Ye Ren shook his head subconsciously. From the perspective of everyone, he could only see silence and emptiness.

Listening to Lin Yixuan's description, Ye Ren had an idea flash in his heart and boldly speculated:

"I understand. The space inside the supermarket may be cyclically extended, folded and expanded by abnormal effects, so that there are countless 'supermarkets' superimposed on each other in the same space."

"Each circulation layer is like an independent space slice. You are trapped in different slices, which are different from the slice levels we see."

“Have you ever heard of liminal spaces?”

These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The members of the Lantern Bearer rescue team looked at each other with shock and confusion on their faces.

The captain frowned and asked in a low voice:

"If that's the case, how do we find and rescue everyone trapped?"

This is a good question.

Ye Ren spread his hands: "I can't come either."

Although my brother is a conceptual god, his conceptual skills are currently only beheading and disarming, and he has no way to deal with the abnormal liminal space.

Of course, this is not absolute...

If there is really no other way, summoning Tietie is also possible.

"However, we can first set up a temporary observation post outside the supermarket, and then use C-91 to prepare before going in to rescue people."

Ye Ren's suggestion was adopted by the captain.

Soon, a logistics team arrived at the scene carrying various supplies and C-91s.

The anomalous item in file number C-91, codenamed [Inexhaustible Tape]

Its unusual characteristic is that its length does not decrease no matter how it is used.

This is undoubtedly an extremely useful tool for marking and navigating in complex and changeable spaces.

The Lampbearer Rescue Squad team skillfully and quickly established a temporary sentry post outside the supermarket.

Then everyone tied tape on their bodies and entered the supermarket through the entrance. However, the moment Ye Ren entered, the tape on his body broke instantly!

"Ah?!"

Ye Ren stared at the broken tape, feeling a chill in his heart.

He turned around and looked back, only to see that the exit of the supermarket that was supposed to lead to the outside world had now turned into a brand new door, with the same scene inside the supermarket reflected behind it.

Obviously, once everyone enters the supermarket, they fall into an endless loop.

But the good news is that at least the teammates were not separated because of this, which made Ye Ren feel a little relieved.

The big bosses Wang Ping'an and Yu Linglong are also still there.

Everyone's eyes met and their expressions became solemn.

"This time is different from previous anomalies..."

"How are we going to get out later?"

"I don't know. Let's take a step and see."

In the supermarket, Ye Ren was guarded by the bosses in the center of the formation, following the lampbearer rescue team as they moved forward cautiously.

Everything in the supermarket seemed so normal.

Except there was no one and it was completely dead silence.

But precisely because this is too normal, it makes people feel inexplicably creepy.

It seems that there is something hidden behind this illusion of normality.

People shuttled between the shelves, and the merchandise was displayed as usual, except that the breath of living people was missing, replaced by a cold silence.

A faint uneasiness gradually filled the air.

Some people are already breaking out in a cold sweat.

Ye Ren held the mobile phone in his hand while walking. He maintained contact with Lin Yixuan.

The other end of the phone was still a noisy mess, which was in sharp contrast to Ye Ren's side.

Lin Yixuan suddenly spoke quickly:

"I discovered a pattern. Whenever someone tries to go through the exit to another area, they disappear and never come back!"

His tone was filled with tension and confusion, "The number of people is decreasing sharply, and more and more people are leaving the exit and disappearing."

Hearing this, Ye Ren's heart tightened.

Time waits for no one. If this continues, if the civilians are dispersed, the difficulty of rescue will increase exponentially.

at this time.

"Don't look at them!?"

The screams of the crowd suddenly came from the other end of the phone, and then Lin Yixuan seemed to have seen something terrifying and cursed twice.

Then the call went dead.

Ye Ren's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat due to the sudden scream from Lin Yixuan's end and the silence after the connection was disconnected.

In this abnormal liminal space, any unexpected situation is unpredictable.

Lin Yixuan's last few rapid and angry roars exploded in Ye Ren's heart like thunder.

Damn it, is something going to happen?

Ye Ren had no choice but to call Tiezi directly for help.

But unexpectedly, the little chicken who had been following him seemed to sense something and jumped forward and ran forward.

It also emitted vague mental fluctuations, signaling Ye Ren to follow it.

"There's no use staying here, why not follow up and have a look."

The captain frowned, although it was strange to rely on a jumping broken wing.

But in the current situation, it seems to be the only way.

He immediately ordered everyone to follow Ye Ren and Xiaojizi's footsteps.

"Follow closely, don't get lost."

Xiao Jizi led Ye Ren into another circular supermarket from the exit of Gate 5. The items here were still displayed in an orderly manner, no different from the previous supermarket.

After that, they quickly turned to Gate No. 3, repeatedly shuttling through many parallel spaces, and time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment.

After dozens of trips.

Finally, at the exit of a transmigrate supermarket, noisy and chaotic sounds flooded into my ears like a tide. They were human panic calls and screams.

"found it?!"

The captain's pupils shrank.

The rest of the rescue team members also showed shocked expressions.

The civilians in the supermarket were full of horror, but when they saw the rescue team arriving, their eyes showed unspeakable surprise and hope!

"Someone is coming!"

"Is it the police? Have the police come to rescue us?"

"It's the lantern holder! We're saved! It's the lantern holder!"

In an instant, people rushed forward, surrounding Ye Ren and others.

The team members worked hard to stabilize people's emotions. The captain held a loudspeaker and comforted the trapped people with a gentle and powerful voice:

"Everyone, please calm down! We are here to take you home! Please gather in order, and we will ensure the safe evacuation of every compatriot!"

His voice penetrated the haze of panic and became a beam of light for everyone's despair.

Lamp holder.

Coming to take you home.
