Death… And Me

Chapter 2830: Well Done

*Zush!*

Rean appeared inside one of those square rooms, quickly noticing the six Spatial Runes. He turned around right after and confirmed the rest of the information. "Sure enough, the entrance is gone."

At the same time, Rean received a message from Roan, but this time it wasn\'t through Sister Orb. Instead, it was through their own connection since they were within the one million kilometers range. \'I can feel your presence nearby. Probably no more than ten kilometers.\'

Rean quickly nodded. \'Same thing here. I can feel you moving around in the room you are in at the moment. What about Beelzebub?\'

Roan looked at the fly, who seemed to be meditating. \'He is quiet. He wanted to continue moving, but since he didn\'t have a plan, he decided to stick with me and see if my idea would work.\'

Beelzebub noticed the change in Roan\'s behavior and opened his eyes. "What is it? Has the time you mentioned finally arrived?"

Roan nodded at him. "Yes. I\'m talking to Rean, and he is already here but in another room."

"You can talk to him?? Beelzebub went confused. "Oh, right! I remember something about you two being able to communicate even without Divine Sense. Whatever. What do you plan to do? Even meeting each other will be difficult."

In fact, meeting with Rean would be the easiest thing to do at the moment. Since Rean and Roan are within the Soul Connection Range, either of them can simply enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and exit it in the location the other was. Or, they could simply meet inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm together.

It\'s just that Roan didn\'t have any intention of meeting now. "Joining together is easy, but that\'s not why I called him. Now, let\'s move."

\'Rean,\' Roan spoke. \'You know what to do.\'

Rean smiled and quickly checked the runes. He selected one that didn\'t have the connections on the edge and touched it, being teleported away.

On Roan\'s side, Roan and Beelzebub did the same, but this time, only Roan selected the path. To prevent complaints from Beelzebub, Roan volunteered to traverse all the runes from now on, and Beelzebub could simply follow.

\'Seems like it is really a straight line,\' Rean spoke as he used another rune. Soon, he noticed his distance from Roan increased a little bit.

Even though teleportations were being made nonstop, the direction you teleported depended on the wall you selected. So, if Rean and Roan always selected the wall opposite to where they could feel each other, they would be teleported further away.

That was the plan. According to Roan and Beelzebub\'s investigation months ago, this place didn\'t have an infinite number of rooms. Proof of it was the fact Roan and Beenzebub ended up in a room they had been to before, even though Roan was certain they didn\'t go full circle. If the rooms had to move to make up for the direction Roan and Beelzebub were moving, then it could only mean there weren\'t infinite rooms for them to continue teleporting into.

At the same time, Roan confirmed with Rean\'s presence that each room was quite close to the other. It made sense since the Spatial Runes weren\'t anything that complicated. They didn\'t have much Space Power in them, which meant they could only teleport a few tens of meters away at most. Rean even analyzed it and confirmed Roan\'s theory in this regard.

What does that mean? That means the rooms must stay close to each other to keep their connections for teleportation. A finite number of rooms and a limit of distance each room can be from each other. As long as the Spatial Runes teleported you forward, this formation could be easily broken.

Rean and Roan only had to continue to get away from each other. The rooms would move to make up for their movements. However, once the twins got too far from each other, this place would run out of rooms to teleport forward. Why? Because the rooms can\'t be more than a few tens of meters away from each other, or the runes will not work. They are connected to each other. In the end, one would see an enormous straight line of rooms from outside, trying to keep each other\'s Spatial Runes connected.

\'Of course, there are flaws with this theory,\' Rean spoke.

Roan nodded, already knowing what they were. \'Indeed. I\'m working on the assumption that the rooms will definitely keep themselves connected. However, if this facility suddenly divides itself into two groups of rooms, one for you and one for me and Beelzebub. In that case, you and I will keep teleporting away forever, as the rooms ahead will simply be taken from the back.

[Well, that\'s not a big issue,] Sister Orb spoke. [If that truly happens, you two can simply return to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and then go out together in the same room. If things truly get complicated, we can purposely make the space outside chaotic and use the Circuitry Teleport Formation. We will be teleported to some random corner of the Universe or wherever we are, but we will definitely be able to leave this place.]

The twins agreed with Sister Orb. \'Exactly. Nonetheless, we are here for the Fragment. We can\'t use that method of escaping that easily without confirming things first.\'

\'By the way, Sister Orb,\' Rean remembered something. \'How\'s the system? It hasn\'t warned us about any Fragments nearby yet.\'

[It wasn\'t that it can\'t warn you, but that I froze it for the time being,] Sister Orb explained. [It just finished integrating the other part of the system it found in the Fragment. I don\'t know what to expect, so I decided to leave it static for the moment. Once you two come out, I will let the system run its course again. For context, the two Fragments you acquired from Black Locust are still floating here on the planet. Without the system, they will not merge with the Integration Pillar.]

\'Well done, Sister Orb!\' The twins approved her decision. \'Let\'s continue to move.\'
