Huang Li and Wei rushed to the front of everyone, arms spread, ready to fight Gu Ya.
But what combat power could a few experimental medics possess?
A sharp, crimson lightsaber instantly carved a straight band of light.
After the band passed, everyone's heads were cleanly severed, falling to the ground with a thud.
The control room was instantly drenched in blood, raining down like a crimson downpour!
Gu Ya summoned his suspended umbrella, shielding himself from the spray of gore, preparing to discard all the corpses into the confined space.
But suddenly, he felt something amiss.
He couldn't pinpoint what was wrong, but he had a nagging feeling that everything happening before him was an illusion, not reality.
This sense of strangeness immediately put Gu Ya on alert.
He recalled that when fighting the Grand Tutor, the latter had employed a more advanced mental domain technology to confuse Gu Ya, making him believe he had escaped the confined space.
The opponent might very well be using the same tactic!
Could it be that everything now was still within the illusion he had cast?
"You are very intelligent... truly a divine power user..." The Grand Tutor's melodious voice suddenly echoed from all around!
"Your ability to emerge from the temporal rift indicates you possess the capability..."
Gu Ya said coldly, "What exactly do you want?"
"Divine power user..." The Grand Tutor's voice grew deeper, even weaker, "Come to Huiye City for a discussion, and you will get the answers you seek..."
"Stop the nonsense," Gu Ya said coldly. "You hurt Ye Ying and trapped me in the confined space! I won't forgive you! I will break your ridiculous illusion now and kill you with my own hands!"
"Heheheh..." The Grand Tutor's laughter grew fainter.
Gu Ya felt something around him rapidly disappearing, leaving with the Grand Tutor.
"Old man!!" Gu Ya roared, "Get back here! Speak face to face, don't hide! When I find you, it will be your death day!!"
But no matter how Gu Ya shouted, the Grand Tutor offered no further response.
The surrounding environment abruptly reverted to how it was when Gu Ya first entered the operating room.
The control room was empty; everyone, including the Grand Tutor, had vanished.
"Hei Yang, how is Ye Ying?" Gu Ya asked.
Hei Yang's voice echoed in his mind, "Master, Ye Ying and Bai Ying are both in a coma. I've checked, and they should wake up soon."
Gu Ya said worriedly, "I need to kill those people, otherwise my identity will be exposed. It's not time for an official war with the Black Star Empire yet."
Hei Yang reassured him, "Don't worry, Master. I saw it myself, when that old man took everyone away, he had already erased their memories."
Gu Ya mused, "You can see through that person's mental domain technology? Ah, right. You're code, not subject to biological mental technology."
Hei Yang laughed, "How about it, Master? I'm still a bit useful, hehe!"
"Useful, of course you're useful!" Gu Ya let out a long sigh, his expression immediately turning stern. "That old man wanted to kill me earlier. He ran when he couldn't win. If I weren't tied up with important matters now, I would chase him to Huiye City and finish him!"
"Master, relax. We'll settle accounts later. What should we do now?"
Gu Ya said, "Thanks to that person named Huang Li, who brought me into the Black Star administration building. Since I'm here, I must take some intelligence with me. It would be best to find Fu Yafang's whereabouts and rescue her."
"Does Master have a target?"
Gu Ya gently pushed open the control room door, sidestepped out, and stepped onto the spacious corridor.
"Hei Yang, go find the Black Star intelligence department and notify me," Gu Ya said in a low voice.
"No, I just returned to reality from the cold, four-dimensional space. I haven't had enough cuddles with Master yet."
"Sometimes I really suspect your gender; you say such mushy things so easily. Go quickly when I tell you to! Hand me the confined space activator that holds Ye Ying."
"Master only has his girlfriend in his heart, not me. He always treats me like a tool, summoning me when needed and discarding me otherwise."
"Alright, good girl, go quickly. We'll talk more after the mission is complete," Gu Ya consoled.
"Okay!" Hei Yang transformed into her original code form, burrowed into a holographic system, and gradually moved away through the communication network.
With Hei Yang's help, Gu Ya could share some of his mental burden.
And the confined space instrument had design and manufacturing defects; it couldn't last long.
Gu Ya knew this very well.
Finding an empty storage room, Gu Ya entered, locked the door from the inside, and released the metal chrysalis from the confined space.
He removed the chrysalis's outer shell and carried Ye Ying out.
Looking at Ye Ying sleeping in his arms, Gu Ya let out a long sigh of relief.
Nothing could make Gu Ya feel more relaxed and gratified than his beloved being safe.
Furthermore, with the help of Hei Yang and Ning Yu now, the mission success rate had increased by another level.
Recalling the scene in the four-dimensional space just now, Gu Ya also felt a glimmer of luck.
It was as if someone was helping him from beyond, yet it also felt like the result of his own efforts and intelligence.
When Gu Ya said, "The solution is me,"
Hei Yang immediately asked, "Master, Bai Ying has informed me of your and Ye Ying's predicament through mind-reading. If there's a way to make you believe me, then execute it quickly."
Gu Ya smiled faintly and said, "Both you and I are covered by the Mech God's Relic, but internally we are still three-dimensional beings."
"Time is short, we'll figure out why the interaction between four dimensions and three dimensions didn't cause any physics changes later."
"Now, since we are both covered by the fourth dimension, and the fourth dimension can see through and penetrate three-dimensional objects."
As he spoke, Gu Ya raised his hands, extended them towards Hei Yang, and placed them on her shoulders.
The moment Gu Ya's Mech God's Relic armor came into contact with Hei Yang's four-dimensional armor, they fused and vanished!
Gu Ya's hands easily penetrated into Hei Yang's body.
Such a simple principle, he wouldn't have imagined it if not for his sudden inspiration.
Being able to touch Hei Yang's true form, Gu Ya immediately activated [Code Tampering].
"As you said, you haven't changed. You are still my Hei Yang."
"Master, I feel your presence. I miss your warmth immensely. Please let me return to your body."
Gu Ya nodded, withdrew his hands from Hei Yang's body, and calmly asked, "Now, as you said, after I sacrifice my future to you, how do I leave the four-dimensional space?"
Hei Yang said, "That's easy, Master. By obtaining your future, I become an inseparable part of you."
"Please grant me authorization to use the Mech God's Relic abilities and, through mind-reading, anchor my consciousness to Bai Ying's."
A look of determined joy appeared on Gu Ya's face as he said, "Let's do it now!"
Almost the instant Gu Ya agreed, the future event was sealed!
Hei Yang transformed into a white mist and burrowed into Gu Ya's body.
Through spacetime wormholes, four-dimensional beings can skip processes and directly traverse to predetermined future events.
This instantly opened a consciousness anchor channel for Gu Ya, allowing him to return to three-dimensional spacetime!
Then, what followed was what happened next.
"It truly is that misfortune is a blessing in disguise! That old man intended to trap me to death in the temporal rift, but little did he know, I've returned to reality and become even stronger!"
At that moment, Ye Ying slowly opened her eyes.
Gu Ya's face was reflected in her calm eyes. Ye Ying smiled faintly and said, "I knew you would come to save me."
Seeing his beloved awake and safe, Gu Ya's rock-solid heart instantly softened.
Gu Ya hugged Ye Ying tightly, daring not to recall what had just happened. He had almost lost the person he loved most!
Gu Ya trembled with residual fear, let out a long sigh, and said softly, "Promise me, from now on, tell me before you do anything."
"I don't want this to happen again, really, I truly don't..."
