The slight abnormality quickly caused the three masters and disciples to divert their attention from the astronomical wonders.

As the vibrations grew stronger, Lin ignored the changes in the lunar eclipse in the sky and ran into the core room, calling up various monitoring charts and pictures. The two young apprentices who ran in slowly looked at their teacher worriedly.

"Girl, look at various places in the tower to see if anything strange is happening." Lin pointed to the energy pool mirror where dozens of surveillance images were arranged. Today's Tower of the Great Sage, in addition to open-air hot springs, toilets and private rooms, has long been covered with surveillance cameras. The surveillance picture can be said to have no blind spots. It was because of the large number that the two girls were ordered to take charge.

As a teacher, I observed all the data in the tower, including the energy channel data recorded through the nodes, the horizontal status of each floor, the distance between floors, the density of magic power floating in the atmosphere, and the temperature in each corner. Humidity and so on.

The readings in most locations were normal, but there was a drastic change in one location. And there appears to be a tendency to spread its influence outward.

"Teacher, teacher, the star map in the restaurant is spinning around."

"Yeah, I noticed it too."

At the same time, a shrill dog barking was also heard from the first floor. In the surveillance video inside the gate, two big dogs, Gray Hoof and White Nose, were raising their forelimbs, desperately digging at the magic tower gate that was locked at night. I don't know if they noticed something or for other reasons, but it is clear that they want to escape from the tower.

Since all kinds of abnormal behavior point to the same place, Lin Bing must go and see it in person. The two girls did not have nothing to do. He said quickly: "Halumi, you opened the door on the first floor and let the two dogs out. Then you took the emergency luggage and left from the observatory using the levitation technique. After that, stay outside the tower and observe the changes in the magic tower. If there is any abnormality, shout out. Kaya, you stay by the console and stand by. Remember what I taught you, how to close the energy transmission node. When you hear my instructions, Close the energy node at the star map of the restaurant and interrupt the energy supply. If you can't close the restaurant, close the entire tower. Then use the levitation technique to leave from the observatory. If there are signs of collapse on the third floor, you don't have to wait for me. Order, directly shut down the energy pool’s supply to the entire tower, and then leave. Do you hear me clearly?”

"Yes, teacher." The two women answered in unison. But Halumi asked worriedly: "Teacher, is there any problem this time?"

Lin did not delve into the very general question, but said with a forced smile: "Don't worry, if there is a problem, we shouldn't feel any pain. Okay, stop talking nonsense and start taking action."

Not a reassuring comfort at all. The two girls were a little frustrated, but they still acted quickly according to the assigned tasks. Lin ran quickly, picked up the long wand on the shelf, and headed towards the central stairwell. He flicked his thumb to the ring at the base of his ring finger, activating the stairwell mechanism of the magic tower, and all the stone steps disappeared into the central column that ran through the three floors.

The staircase connecting the three floors disappeared and was replaced by a shaft that ran through the three floors. Lin didn't waste any words. After jumping up, he blessed himself with the floating technique. The moment before landing, his body became as light as a feather, then he bent his knees, slowed down the acceleration of gravity and kicked off again, making his whole body roll forward.

This set of actions has long been done skillfully. This was a standard escape posture for venturing out into cliffs and ravines, but at this time Lin was using it to speed up his actions.

Ignoring the two big dogs that escaped from the tower with their tails between their legs, Lin quickly ran into the restaurant. I saw the thousand-year star map. The track map of six planets that originally moved slowly in accordance with the actual situation, now seemed to be running crazy, spinning around and drawing six concentric circles. At the same time, the wall vibrated violently and expanded outward.

Fortunately, the magic material is strong enough, so there are no gravels falling. But looking at the magnitude of the vibration, Lin doubted whether the entire stone brick would fall out.

"Kaya!" Lin shouted towards the outside of the restaurant. The girl on standby on the third floor immediately executed the order to turn off the star map power supply. I saw that the monitoring data of the restaurant's location quickly returned to zero with the star map as the center. However, the number of star map positions first decreased, then increased, and even exceeded the original number in one fell swoop, and continued to increase.

Faced with this situation, the brown-skinned girl ran to the stairwell and shouted: "Teacher, it seems that it can't be closed. Do you want the entire tower to be closed?"

"No! That's fine, you leave immediately!"

"yes!"

The disabled magic circle nodes and mana power channels appeared in gray-white lines. But this was only the part that Lin had transformed. The original star map magic patterns of the Great Sage's Tower were colorful and sparkling. The entire magic circle is like waking up, and all designed functions will be activated one by one.

Halumi, who was already standing far outside the tower, was stroking Gray Hooves who came to her side, looking at the changes outside the tower in amazement. The Nanna Moon hanging high in the sky reappeared as a dark red full moon the next moment after it was completely swallowed up by the shadow.

If Lin were by his side, the teacher would explain that sunlight is refracted by Midi's atmosphere, and red light will shine on the moon that enters the shadow area and then be reflected back. But even if he was present, when he saw the red moon cast a beam of light that covered the entire Tower of the Great Sage, all scientific explanations would be thrown out of the window.

Hallumi, who knew nothing about it, grabbed the fur on Gray Hoof's neck and tore it in horror. Watching the Tower of the Great Sage bathed in the red moonlight pillar, the magic patterns on the entire tower lit up, and the blue light gradually changed from top to bottom to the bloody red light of the battle state.

Between the two pointed-eared corner walls on the top of the tower, a human-like eye of fire condenses, looking up and down all around. This is exactly what the arcane eye looks like when it is activated. Outside the edge stone is an attack magic array with six hexagrams erected out of thin air. The strategic light bomb attack array improved by Lin is also in full operation, only missing the target. Halumi even forgot to shout to inform the people in the tower.

Lin has no control over the changes outside the tower, and has no power to control them. The thousand-year star map wall in the restaurant seemed to have gathered too much energy. Dots of green light spilled out, and each magic pattern also emitted a dazzling light, as if it would explode at any time. Lin used the original mark of the Tower of the Great Sage hidden on the back of his right hand to try to control the chaos in front of him, but to no avail.

When the energy overflowed beyond the magic pattern, rendering the entire brick a light green color, memories of the past marquee began to appear in Lin's mind. It seems there is no way to escape this time...

Suddenly the six concentric circles representing the planetary trajectories made a shattering sound, and the cyan stream of light dimmed instantly. The yellow light representing the sun star in the center quickly deepened, and the surrounding masonry and magic patterns also emitted that dark light. When the dark light spread to the entire star map, in a flash, the magic bricks became transparent and moved backwards, revealing an inexplicable and strange space.

Behind this wall is the outside of the tower, but there is no hidden room, Lin is very sure. But looking at the stone box floating in the middle of the void, glowing with magical aura, Lin thought, could this be the storage space of the Lost Edition?

When he came to this magical world, the first thing Lin looked for was various space props that were easy to carry, whether it was to store personal property or travel items. But it is a pity that there are no storage bags, space backpacks, space rings and other props in the lost land. Even if you are a Dharma Saint, when you go out, you must either carry your luggage yourself or ask an apprentice to carry it, so there is no way to sneak around.

Lin used to think that there was no such storage space in the Lost World. The space in front of us now proves that related magic also exists in this world, but it is so high-end that it is difficult for people to use it universally.

Looking at the stone box in the void, Lin's first thought was to take it out. Because traces of cracks began to appear out of thin air around that space, and more and more cracks began to appear. It is estimated that the final collapse of the space will be inevitable. Then the things stored in it should not be protected, so taking it out before something happens is a natural action.

It's just that Lin doesn't want to try to see if he can walk in. He raised his wand high and recited the incantation of Boka Moshaw's Giant Palm. He saw the mana power continuously condensing from the void, forming a huge yellow-green magic arm. He waved towards the storage space behind the star map wall, grabbed the stone box in the magic hand, and took it out.

The process was smooth and hassle-free. The next moment I took out the stone box, the storage space completely collapsed. The strange and magnificent scene between the planes was something Lin had never seen before and could not describe. But the gaps are constantly changing like a kaleidoscope, as if to fill the gaps, they are constantly absorbing everything around them.

When Lin realized that this influence had exceeded the original wall position and began to spread towards the main plane, his whole body had been sucked in and he could not get away. The stone box in his hand was being sucked forward as if trying to break free, dragging his body and drawing it towards the broken space step by step.

Now the memory carousel was running more happily, and even the memories from far away on Earth came to mind one by one.

Just when he was about to accept his fate, the transparent stone bricks emitted a new magic pattern light, which was different from the original one.

The new magic was activated, and it directly weaved into a net, trapping the expanding plane gap and preventing it from continuing to grow. As if suppressing or repairing, the magical masonry, which was so transparent that it almost disappeared, showed its shape again and quickly moved back to its original position, while gradually solidifying the space behind it. It wasn't until the wall returned to its original state that the newly appeared magic patterns dissipated between heaven and earth.

The strange behavior in the Magic Tower began to subside, and the vibrations stopped. The magical power that was originally dispersed in the atmosphere and was so strong that it almost suffocated people to death also gradually reduced its level. Everything seemed to get better after taking out the stone box.

What could be in the stone box collected by Da Fei Zhouzhang? Lin couldn't help but feel confused.

Outside the tower, the two girls and two dogs gathered together, watching the light beam shot by Nanna Yue gradually recede and disappear. At the same time, the red moon in the sky also quietly disappeared, returning to its original disk as white as snow, and the black shadow covering it also retreated from the west.

The tower of the Great Sage stood there, and the magic patterns on the tower also turned from red to blue, and then gradually faded away. The improved light bomb attack array and arcane eyes on the top of the tower also turned into dots of starlight and dissipated from the sky and the earth. Everything seemed to have returned to its original calm, as if nothing had happened. In addition to the wooden box Lin held in his hand, there was also the broken and useless star map in the restaurant.

Joining the two girls, Lin looked in awe at the home he had lived in for more than a year. Perhaps its secret has not been seen through by everyone, and there is still an unknown side hidden in the darkness.

Judging from the results of this great change, it was quite lucky that the worst-case scenario as expected, which was an explosion of the energy pool, did not occur. Lin thought to himself, while comforting the two worried girls, looking at this strange magic tower.
