98 Chapter - I Feel It’S Better To Build A Good Home
【Friendly reminder: The spiritual space's environment generates based on the user's inner impressions. Please do not panic. Enjoy your training.】
Ye Yao's vision went black.
When her sight returned, the surroundings had already changed.
The prompt said that the spiritual space's battlefield would generate according to the user's inner world.
When Ye Yao saw her surroundings, her breathing unconsciously hitched.
"...Is this what my inner world looks like?"
The setting sun, like congealed blood scabs, immersed the entire city in a rusty glow.
Reinforced concrete hung down like melted wax, solidifying into grotesque lava waterfalls on the building surfaces.
The earth had split open into a bottomless abyss, almost dividing the world in two.
Nowhere in sight was complete; it was like crumpled tin foil, crushed by a giant hand.
The entire world was devoid of life, with no human figures to be seen.
Only Ye Yao remained, utterly alone.
The intense sense of reality brought a suffocating feeling.
Although Ye Yao had always claimed Prophet was slandering her,
she had always been deeply concerned about whether she would destroy the world in the future.
From time to time, she even dreamt of herself annihilating everything.
Now, the scene simulated by the spiritual training pod was remarkably similar to her dreams.
At that moment, a petite figure emerged from the ruins.
Her long white hair, like a silver waterfall, reflected the colors of doomsday under the twilight.
Her eyes were filled with emotionless indifference.
Appearing from the ruins, she looked like the culprit responsible for all this.
And she looked exactly like Ye Yao.
It felt to Ye Yao as if she were looking into a mirror.
Or perhaps, this was her future self.
"A spiritual clone... combined with this dilapidated world, it really picks a place..."
Ye Yao had no mood to play mind games with the spiritual clone anymore.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"Fission."
Ye Yao silently uttered.
The spiritual space instantly shattered.
An electronic alarm immediately sounded in her ears.
【Alarm! Alarm! The training pod has encountered an error due to an unknown situation. The hatch is opening urgently. Please exit the spiritual training pod to avoid any accidents.】
Ye Yao sat up from the spiritual training pod.
The next second, several technicians rushed over to inspect the facility.
Ye Yao, startled, quickly jumped out.
"N-no, I didn't break it! I didn't do anything!"
A technician interrupted her.
"It's good that you're alright. It might be a facility issue; we'll check it. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No..."
Ye Yao shook her head.
"That's good. You're not needed here anymore. We need to conduct a thorough inspection, and compensation will be issued to users later."
Seeing the technicians immersed in disassembling the facility, Ye Yao was a bit speechless.
Did they really rule out the user as the problem directly?
They would rather suspect the equipment was faulty than the user.
Ye Yao felt like crying.
Fortunately, the true situation wasn't exposed. Let the Countermeasure Bureau guess.
Ye Yao, holding a loli by each hand, turned and ran off.
Along the way, Ye Yao cautiously asked Luo Jianhua,
"Xiao Luo, under what circumstances does the spiritual training pod usually malfunction?"
"Hmm... I don't know. This seems to be the first time."
Luo Jianhua couldn't recall the spiritual training pod ever breaking down.
After all, it was maintained almost every day.
It was impossible for problems to accumulate.
Luo Jianhua couldn't help but glance at Ye Yao.
If it wasn't an equipment problem,
then it could only be a problem with her sister.
However, Luo Jianhua didn't ask directly, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Ye Yao suddenly thought of something.
"Oh right, to what extent can this spiritual training pod improve Spiritual Power?"
"It seems to struggle a bit at A-Class, and even S-Class Espers can't activate the training pod's functions when they lie inside."
Luo Jianhua replied.
Ye Yao basically guessed the reason.
She probably unleashed Spiritual Power beyond S-Class within the spiritual space.
That's what caused the spiritual training pod to experience a severe error.
After all, Ye Yao's Spiritual Power was 75 before she went in.
Who would have thought it would increase exponentially after she entered?
At this moment, Mo Qiuli gently asked {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} from the side, "Ye Yao, how was it? Did your Spiritual Power improve?"
Ye Yao glanced at her stats panel.
【Spiritual Power: 75】
There was no improvement at all.
It probably didn't serve any training purpose.
Instantly defeating the spiritual clone, what kind of Spiritual Power training could that be?
It felt less effective than a family gathering.
"No."
Luo Jianhua smiled.
"After all, the equipment malfunctioned midway. If it had worked as intended, it definitely would have had an effect.
However, after leaving the training pod, one's spirit becomes very fatigued, so it shouldn't be used for too long."
"Huh?" Ye Yao let out a hum of confusion, "It makes you tired? Then it's trash!"
The white-haired loli immediately made a strong statement.
Can this even be considered slacking off?
Anything that makes her tired while improving, in Ye Yao's eyes, was a waste of life!
It would be better to use that time to slack off; at least she'd get happiness from it.
Perhaps she could even gain a lot of Spiritual Power from family activities.
Compared to that, the system really won big.
As soon as Ye Yao and the other two left,
Lou Wei appeared in front of the spiritual training pod that Ye Yao had just broken.
The technicians were checking the situation.
Lou Wei asked, "What's the reason?"
A technician replied, "It might be a problem caused by changes within the spiritual space. Only the user themselves would know."
The spiritual training pod had never malfunctioned since its development and widespread use.
After all, it could only be used in specific areas within the Countermeasure Bureau.
It was maintained by specialists every day.
The lack of any damage records now made the technicians difficult.
There was no point of reference.
"The user themselves, huh..."
Lou Wei fell into contemplation.
A Spiritual Power of 75 couldn't possibly destroy the spiritual space.
Lou Wei had never tried to destroy the spiritual space.
After all, he had been unable to activate the spiritual training pod a long time ago.
That could only mean sequence 001's ability was at play.
Now was not the time to ask; he could only wait for Luo Jianhua's report.
Ye Yao guiltily left the underground training ground and returned to the surface.
After breathing the fresh air, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Breaking a seemingly expensive piece of equipment shouldn't require compensation, right?
Ye Yao quickly put the matter out of her mind.
Someone else would clean up the mess anyway.
Thinking about it too much was useless!
"Sister, what other places do you want to visit?" Luo Jianhua asked.
"The forbidden zone Ms. Yang mentioned earlier... What is that?"
There's a saying:
the more one is forbidden from doing something, the more it triggers a rebellious psychology.
A word like "forbidden zone" sounded very appealing.
Ye Yao's curiosity was simply uncontrollable.
Luo Jianhua hesitated.
"That could only be... the area for controlling Sequence Espers."
Ye Yao suddenly understood.
That was indeed a forbidden zone.
Under normal circumstances, no one should approach it.
"Xiao Luo, do you know where it is? How about we take a look from afar?"
