The structure of the transfer device was extremely complex. Lin Ye couldn't understand the operating principles of this device either; it contained a lot of foundational knowledge he hadn't been exposed to.

The giant black box disappeared into the transfer device. The squad members began disassembling and recovering the transfer device. They had already gained enough harvest; it was time to leave this place.

"The second phase is about to begin. We're preparing to leave here. Do you want to come with us?"

The Female Captain didn't know what was wrong with herself. She felt she didn't want to separate from Lin Ye. She knew this was very abnormal, but she couldn't refuse that instinctive feeling.

"No, there are still some matters here that need me to handle. Goodbye."

Lin Ye knew the other party's strange state was related to Sacrificial Night, but he hadn't yet figured out the specific effects of this relic.

"...Then you'd better be careful. We divided the black box's state into two phases because once the first phase passes, squads sent into the black box lose contact. That's why there are two phases. We also don't know what will happen inside the black box after the first phase ends."

The Female Captain activated the portal. Just as they were about to leave through the portal, they discovered intense spatial fluctuations occurring around the portal. That area of space became extremely unstable.

"Damn it! It might be that the previous large-scale spatial teleportation caused the black box to undergo some unknown change!"

A squad member said loudly.

Lin Ye tried to stabilize that area, but the moment his mental energy approached it, he sensed layer upon layer of complex spatial fluctuations. This extremely complicated situation was simply beyond his ability to handle.

His understanding of space came from that Bus; he couldn't handle situations that were too complex.

The portal soon completely collapsed. Along with the portal's disappearance were several team members who had been close to it.

The Female Captain retreated to Lin Ye's side with the remaining team members. They tried to activate the portal again but found this space had already been sealed off by the black box. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The monitoring instrument in the Female Captain's hand suddenly emitted a piercing alarm, displaying an orange-red danger icon.

"It's over. The second phase has started early. We're all going to die here."

A team member said despairingly.

Lin Ye sensed some kind of change occurring in the surrounding space. Some black boxes automatically opened. Most of the automatically opened boxes contained mixtures of flesh and blood and other substances; not a single complete organism was inside.

Cynthia fearfully moved closer to Lin Ye. Those remnants looked very unfriendly. People with rich imaginations might be able to see the miserable state of those people before death from those remnants.

Lin Ye took out the Cross Scepter. The remaining flesh and blood gathered towards him, gradually forming a beast of enormous size.

He didn't specifically craft the beast into a certain type of creature; he just kept adding various powerful Alienation structures with strong functions to its body.

The beast's functions gradually improved, and the number of unopened boxes in the city was also gradually decreasing.

After a while, the nearby boxes no longer opened automatically, and that spatial change also stopped.

The team members tried to open the portal again but still failed.

Lin Ye looked thoughtfully at the remaining boxes around them. He sensed slight spatial fluctuations near those boxes.

It seemed that as long as they got close to those boxes, they could enter the box's interior.

"...We probably have to pick a box to enter. If we stay outside, we might encounter something very bad later."

This was just Lin Ye's premonition, but his premonitions rarely were wrong.

"Do we have to enter alone?"

The Female Captain didn't doubt what Lin Ye said; even those team members didn't raise any objections.

"I don't know, but there should be some influence."

Lin Ye, with the two children and the Alienation beast, approached the black box nearest to them. After getting within a certain distance, Lin Ye could clearly feel that spatial fluctuation that would teleport them inside the box.

'The problem now is, which box to choose.'

The black boxes were like information insulators. Lin Ye also couldn't obtain any information from inside them through any method.

This meant that even if the inside was a death ground like the Red Sea, they would still step right into it.

Lin Ye had seen similar things before; he also couldn't obtain information from inside Waste Stones.

'No choice. In this situation, we can only ask for help from the outside.'

Lin Ye tried to use the mental purification technique to inform that young girl about the situation here, but the mental purification technique also couldn't penetrate the black box to communicate with the outside.

Just as Lin Ye was preparing to use the Lucky Coin, the Alienation beast that had been following him suddenly broke free from his control.

Lin Ye didn't make any drastic moves. This was an Alienation creature he had created. Even if it broke free from control, he had methods to deal with it.

"Don't... use... coin... here... dangerous...... follow... me..."

The Alienation beast emitted intermittent sounds from its mouth, like a cell phone with poor signal.

"Okay."

Lin Ye didn't doubt the other party's purpose. There weren't many people who could directly seize control of an Alienation creature from his hands. After all, he had the Flesh and Blood Rule Fragment, and he himself was connected to many troublesome things. Even that dangerous man couldn't achieve this level.

The Alienation beast staggered towards those boxes. It looked like it was in a very bad state, as if the connection could be cut off at any moment.

Lin Ye followed beside the Alienation beast. The Female Captain led her team following behind him. They also didn't know which box to enter.

The Alienation beast shook its head and observed the nearest box. It looked for a long time before emitting intermittent sounds:

"Seems... not dan...gerous..."

"That's what it says."

Lin Ye turned to look at the Female Captain. He wouldn't enter a box with uncertain danger level, but others were different. This was still better than opening a Blind Box.

The Female Captain didn't waste words and directly had two team members behind her form a team and enter the box.

The Alienation beast continued forward. Some boxes it glanced at and directly skipped; some boxes it needed to look at for a while before giving an opinion.

"Very... dangerous..."

"Especially... dangerous..."

"Moderately... dangerous..."

"Not bad..."

"No... dangerous... no... very dangerous..."

...

As they looked at more and more boxes, the number of team members behind the Female Captain gradually decreased. Finally, the Female Captain also entered a box.

After that, the Alienation beast stopped speaking. It silently passed by box after box, finally stopping near a one-meter-tall box.

"This one is very dangerous, but it's okay..."

The Alienation beast's voice became a bit clearer, but soon, its control returned to Lin Ye's hands.

Lin Ye didn't waste any time. He directly brought the two children and the Alienation beast into the box's interior through spatial teleportation.
