Chapter 1498: Chapter 1493: The Anticipated Event That Never Happened

In that instant, Tang Ye forcibly gathered his strength, his shoulder muscles stretched out wildly in a flash to form a huge flesh flap, and without a second word, he ruthlessly smashed it towards the head that Dairya was extending towards him!

A mist formed mid-air as the flesh flap swung, followed by a loud bang, Tang Ye could feel his extended flesh flap touch a wall as it cut through the darkness, but he couldn’t tell if he had hit Dairya!

The next second after the flesh flap was swung, every memory fragment that Tang Ye could see in front of him became violent, flashing uncontrollably like the blue screen error on a computer, and finally, for some unknown reason, an image of a street appeared in front of him.

All the sounds he could hear by his ears vanished at that moment, including those memory fragments he saw before his eyes, all disappearing without a trace.

Tang Ye regained his senses, looking somewhat bewilderedly at his surroundings.

"This is..."

As he saw the shop divisions labelled above some stores by the street, Tang Ye finally realized he was in Xi River city!

He stood motionless, as if recalling what he had done just a second before, and moreover, people were continuously passing by in front of him, not giving him any curious glances as they passed, as if Tang Ye had always been standing there and had not strangely appeared out of nowhere.

"What’s going on?"

In a short time, Tang Ye finally remembered that he was just in that strange space where Dairya was, but what did it mean for him to suddenly appear here?

However, Tang Ye soon thought of a possibility; could it be that he had returned to the "shallow" world where he had existed? Of course, it’s also possible that he had ventured into a deeper level world, but whether it’s the former or the latter was still uncertain. He needed to find some clues, and the first clue was Lu Xiaojie!

Compared to the Xi River city he had entered in the recycling station, this Xi River city did not seem to have suffered a massive-scale tsunami, life was normal here, the streets bustling with office workers hurrying for their families, the severe traffic congestion and the crowding had vanished without a trace.

He felt for his pocket, and miraculously, his phone was still there. Upon taking it out, he saw it wasn’t the Kirin Sword phone he had carried with him when he entered, but the phone he had made a zero-dollar purchase for before entering the recycling station.

Pocketing his phone, Tang Ye recalled the contents of the letter, but it was too brief and did not explain what would happen to him after he entered the recycling facility, or what he would see or experience. Now, suddenly appearing in Xi River city from that strange space with Dairya, Tang Ye had no idea what to do next.

After much thought, Tang Ye had only one choice, and that was to go back to the hotel room to see how things were there, perhaps different from when he left?

Just as Tang Ye was about to leave, he saw a group of adults looking extremely anxious ahead, each holding a photo and asking passers-by on the street one by one. Judging by their looks, they seemed to be searching for someone important to them.

"A relative, perhaps?"

As Tang Ye thought this, one of the women holding a photo, who appeared to be around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, stopped in front of him and asked urgently, "Young man, when you came here, did you see a boy about this tall, wearing a school uniform?"

While speaking, the woman gestured with her hands: "He has a somewhat sharp face and a mole here. This is a photo, please take a look for me, thank you so much."

The woman’s tone was pleading, her eyes looking as if she was about to break into tears at any moment, seemingly panicked that the child was lost and the adult was getting anxious. At this point, Tang Ye immediately recalled the contents of the regulations.

Do not litter, or it might be claimed by "someone else." Does this mean that because the adults weren’t paying attention and the child accidentally got lost, it was considered littering?

As for the photo the woman handed over, Tang Ye only glanced at it symbolically. It indeed showed a child who appeared to be in middle school by his facial features. However, contrary to the woman’s description of him wearing a school uniform, the child in the photo was in casual clothes, and there was a distinct mole near the right cheekbone that made for easy identification. If seen recently on the street, it would definitely make an impression, but Tang Ye had just appeared here not minutes before; he hadn’t seen any child, so how could he have seen this one?

"Sorry, I haven’t seen him," Tang Ye said to the woman. Upon hearing Tang Ye’s answer, she immediately turned around and went to ask the next person without even saying goodbye.

And Tang Ye didn’t mind the woman’s impoliteness, he just touched his nose and began to observe the surrounding environment.

He was not familiar with Xi River city; after entering Cloud Gorge Base, he only knew there was a city called Xi River and was not acquainted with all its routes. Coming to an unnoticed spot, Tang Ye leaped up and flew high into the sky, landing on the rooftop of a building and looked towards the cityscape in the distance.

Among the many buildings in Xi River city, Tang Ye’s gaze quickly found the Xiangyi Hotel’s relatively modest size. Then looking down, he saw quite a few people below and even on the streets below, some had taken notice of him, stopping their steps as if afraid he was contemplating jumping from the building.

"Hey! The person up there, what are you doing?"

A man’s voice called out below, and as Tang Ye thought, the man was genuinely concerned that Tang Ye was thinking of jumping to commit suicide. This shout also drew the attention of the people around, who began to gather and look up at Tang Ye.

"Is he really going to jump?"

"Damn, call the police!"

"..."

Mixed discussions arose from below, and although they were dozens of floors below him, Tang Ye’s sensitivity to sound meant he heard everything crystal clear. Feeling speechless for a moment, he replied to the people below: "You’re thinking too much; I’m just looking at the view."

"Got it, man. You scared me half to death," one of them said.

Hearing Tang Ye’s response, the crowd stirred a bit, then quickly dispersed, but there were still a few lingering, seemingly still worried about Tang Ye. Ironically, in the eyes of these people, including those who had walked away, the second after leaving, they all breathed a sigh of relief, as if they found the whole thing boring, or as if something they expected to happen didn’t.
