Chapter 2786

(Wait a moment to modify) This made Gong Ying quite happy. She moved next to Miss Ruo to tease the cats and dogs together, and talked about some amusing stories. Miss Ruo also graciously laughed frequently.

Xu Huo stood behind, watching their interaction, without any intention of joining in. He was like an invisible man, and aside from an occasional glance from the two cats licking their fur at the edge, no cats or dogs approached him.

After they had laughed enough and Miss Ruo gave the Momentary Flower to Gong Ying, Xu Huo offered to paint a portrait for her.

"A portrait?" Miss Ruo carefully recalled, "I don’t have his photo. It’s been too long, and I can’t quite remember what he looks like."

"It’s okay," Xu Huo said, "I know a bit about psychology. Not being able to remember clearly doesn’t mean forgetting; his appearance has always been stored somewhere in your brain."

Miss Ruo thought about it and did not refuse, agreeing that he could come to the Whale Garden every day during the portrait-making process. However, she was very busy and didn’t spend much time at home each day.

"This certainly can’t be rushed," Xu Huo said, "it can be done slowly."

Gong Ying, unwilling to be outdone, offered to assist. She said she had also studied a bit of the relevant knowledge. Although she might not match Xu Huo, she was very interested to see if there would be any significant difference in the people they depict.

With Miss Ruo not objecting, Xu Huo had no room to oppose, so the three agreed to meet the next afternoon.

The restriction made here, entering the black space doesn’t truly mean departing the current space. Therefore, it is still impossible to take advantage and escape the instance by directly crossing districts or Wormhole Points.

Of course, its function is not just to carry others; more importantly, it has very peculiar defensive capabilities. Since it can devour Time Force, it means that most characteristics might become ineffective when encountering it, and even if effective, they can be easily interrupted.

Xu Huo tested the duration of its maximum coverage range. Once darkness is generated, as long as it doesn’t swallow others, it can persist indefinitely. But if he follows and enters the black space, the external darkness will fade, and he himself can stay in the black space for at most five seconds.

This is for the holder; if it’s someone else.

He looked at the little girl, namely Lei Jie Lian.

Lei Jie Lian had already squatted on the ground, running back and forth in the black space with Xu Huo several times. She seemed more exhausted, but upon meeting his dangerous gaze, she couldn’t help but say, "You’re not thinking of throwing me into the black hole, are you?"

"What would happen if thrown in?" Xu Huo asked.

"Permanently disappear," Lei Jie Lian said, "I advise you not to do it."

"I’ve thrown many people in before," she said, "those thrown in never appeared again. Even if I went in right away, I couldn’t find them. And the more people you throw in, the larger the darkness becomes. The larger the range the darkness can cover, the more effort it takes on you."

"I wasn’t so weak when I first got this item."

"Have you studied this item?" Xu Huo asked, referring to the District Government and Chief Governor.

"This is my secret. Why should I tell others?" Lei Jie Lian said naturally, "The district library has a lot of information. Whatever you want to check, it’s all there."

"So you think the black space is very similar to a black hole?" Xu Huo pursued, "Why?"

"So you think the black space is very similar to a black hole?" Xu Huo pursued, "Why?"

"The human heart’s darkness cannot be glimpsed; wherever the heart covers, there the darkness covers."

The introduction of "My Heart is Dark" is very simple, but with the little girl’s example, Xu Huo quickly mastered its usage.

Firstly, this black force, it is indeed a certain power, capable of engulfing others and transferring them to where the holder wants to go. And the larger the area enveloped by this black force and the longer the time, the greater errors will occur in perception and basic judgment; to some extent, even Space-Time Power can be devoured.

But this doesn’t mean Space-Time Power can never be effective. Any force confrontation must consider quantity, for example, an ordinary Spatial Barrier cannot interfere with Time Force, but Dimensional Space Power can, and the same is true for this black force.

Secondly, the coverage range is basically centered on the architectural space where the holder is located, but being shuttled with the black force is no longer like Spatial Evolution that moves through a special space channel but enters another space, or a spatial crevice, so to speak. When the object takes effect, the holder will be taken into another black space, which can be understood as adjacent to the current space. Once you hide in there, it’s like temporarily leaving the original space. However, because you can’t stay in the black space for too long, over time, it will automatically spit the holder out.

Xu Huo speculated that this should be to comply with the instance’s restrictions. Entering the black space doesn’t mean truly leaving the current space; therefore, it is still impossible to take the opportunity to escape the instance like directly crossing districts or Wormhole Points.

Of course, its function is not just to carry others; more importantly, it has very peculiar defensive capabilities. Since it can devour Time Force, it means that most characteristics might become ineffective when encountering it, and even if effective, they can be easily interrupted.
