Energy Storm Incoming: Survive or Transcend

Chapter 3

When the middle-aged man heard this, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, but soon he smiled again: "Let me introduce myself first."

Because Lorna was in an unfamiliar environment and was still frightened by entering this mysterious space, he did not let his guard down.

The living environment she grew up in and the life and death experience she had just experienced made her very sensitive to other people's subtle expressions. She could sense that the middle-aged man with glasses looked down on and disliked the burly man, but also had a hint of fear in his eyes:

"My name is John. I work in the Dongji Provincial Municipal Center and have many years of work experience." When the middle-aged man said this, confidence appeared on his face.

He was well-dressed and looked gentle, which really fit the image of someone working in the municipal center. After he finished speaking, many people looked at him with less vigilance.

In such an unfamiliar environment, when everyone does not know each other and is on guard against each other, at least the identity of a government official will make people feel more at ease.

Even the burly man restrained his fierce expression after hearing John's self-introduction.

When John saw that his identity had stunned everyone, he became a little excited. When he once again asked everyone to sit in a circle, everyone was not as resistant to his words as before.

Lorna 's body was still a little out of control and her hands were still shaking. Her image had already attracted a lot of attention, which was related to the fact that she was the last one to come here, and she was soaked all over and her chest was stained with blood. Everyone's rejection and defense against her were also most obvious.

She struggled to move her body and sat closer. John said:

"Let's first talk about our respective identities and backgrounds and the circumstances of how we came here, and share everything we know." He coughed and cleared his throat: "After all, this place is a bit weird." There were no doors or windows, and there was no other sound except the nine people present.

"I tried it." As soon as John finished speaking, the male doctor in a white robe took his hand out of his pocket. In his palm was a new smartphone:

"I can't make calls from my cell phone here. There's no signal."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces showed panic.

As the times have developed and technology has advanced day by day, Internet satellite signals have covered almost every corner of the world. It is a very serious problem that a mobile phone cannot make calls without a signal.

Everyone got confused all of a sudden. Many people belatedly reached for their phones. The woman in the red dress obviously didn't bring a bag to hold her phone when she entered the space. She could only turn sideways to look at the boy with a backpack next to her. He took out his phone from the bag and fiddled with it for a while. Finally, he looked up in disappointment and shook his head:

“I don’t have a signal on my phone either.”

After the people with mobile phones checked, they found that their mobile phones had no signal. John put down his phone:

"I guess we might have been kidn*pped by criminals, and the criminals had already done something to cut off the signal before the kidnapping."

His words caused panic among several people present, but Lorna felt something was wrong.

Putting aside the mysterious voice that had sounded in her mind before, the way she entered this space was beyond the scope of scientific explanation. The criminals could not do such a thing as bringing someone to this place in an instant from the alley where she returned home without anyone noticing.

As soon as this thought came into her mind, someone quickly raised a question:

"Impossible." The male doctor who first mentioned that his cell phone had lost signal spoke up. He said solemnly, "I came to this place suddenly during work. If it was a man-made k********g, no one would be able to do this!"

When John heard someone refute, he felt a little unhappy, as if his authority was challenged:

"Nothing is impossible," he said, his upper body straight. "From your attire, you should be a doctor. You should have some knowledge about drugs. If the criminals used hallucinogens to make you lose consciousness in a very short period of time, and then moved you to this prepared place, your brain and eyes would be affected by the drugs, causing hallucinations about what happened before, giving you the illusion that you appeared in this place while awake."

John spoke in a firm tone and deep voice, and his words were sonorous and powerful, while he used body language to emphasize his emotions. Many people were moved by him and, judging from their expressions, they all agreed with his guess.

Impossible! Lorna lowered his head and pursed his lips when he heard this.

Emotionally, she was willing to believe what John said, but rationally, she couldn't agree with it.

Before entering this mysterious 'God's Trial Space', she was killed by a stranger. When she was dying, she chose to enter this trial, and then found herself resurrected and her wounds disappeared. This situation was not real, like a dream, but the blood stains on her body and the mud between her fingers proved that her previous experience was not an illusion.

Moreover, from what she had learned so far, John was from Dongji Province, and she was from West Street in the imperial capital, which was enough to prove that the nine people, including herself, might have come from different regions of the empire.

It is even bolder to judge from the fact that her hair and uniform were wet by the rain that some of the people here not only came from different places, but also from different times and environments.

After she entered the space and talked to John, the doctor discovered that the cell phone had lost signal. Judging from this, everyone had not been in the space for long, so they had not noticed the signal problem before.

Based on the above situation, Lorna boldly guessed that no one could gather people of different ages and genders at different times, places, environments, and at roughly the same time, even if they were well prepared, unless the other party was a god!

She once again thought of the voice in her mind, "Should I enter God's trial?" She shuddered.

"impossible!"

The doctor refuted John's words again, this time his tone was heavier. His repeated refutations made John somewhat unhappy, especially when everyone around him agreed with his guess. The doctor refuted him several times, which made John's face darken and he raised his voice:

"What makes you say that?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Everyone looked at each other. In this situation, no one dared to speak rashly. Everyone's eyes moved left and right between the doctor and John's faces, as if trying to find a backbone.

The doctor glanced at John, who was very excited, and put the phone back into the pocket of his doctor's uniform. He raised his wrist, revealing a watch:

"Because mobile phone signals can be interfered with artificially, but I found that my watch has also stopped working." When he said this, he sighed and tilted his wrist down so that everyone could see it more clearly. Lorna also raised his head and saw that the hands of his watch had lost control and were spinning wildly.

"This should be affected by the magnetic field. I suspect we are in a mysterious space right now." The doctor's words made everyone panic. For some reason, when Lorna heard this, it seemed as if his guess had been verified. His originally tense body actually relaxed a little.
