"Feels pretty good."

Wang Congshan put on the hand rope, turned her wrist, and the Möbius-shaped metal pendant in the middle of the hand rope reflected sunlight onto the metal base plate below the drawer, "Thanks."

"Mm."

Li Ang nodded calmly. At this time, the school leader's speech on the TV was coming to an end, and the screen was handed over to the instructors from the Special Affairs Bureau.

After the latter gave a lecture of the same old safety education, the speech officially ended and the TV was turned off.

The teachers of each subject walked into the classroom in turn to assign homework and distribute test papers.

The head teacher finally emphasized paying attention to safety during the holidays, and making reasonable arrangements to prepare for the senior year of high school...

The students, whose minds were already wandering and who were sitting on pins and needles, waited anxiously for the school bell to ring.

Accompanied by the melodious music, Shi Qingsong on the podium announced the end of school with a helpless smile.

"Yeah!"

The students jumped up and started packing their bags.

Li Ang packed his homework, chatting idly with Wang Congshan, and walked out of the classroom.

Because it was the end of the second semester of high school, the school gate was full of student parents' cars. Wang Congshan's parents also drove to pick her up.

Li Ang rode his bicycle home. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Chai Chai sitting on the sofa, staring at the screen of the laptop with a serious expression.

Li Ang hung his schoolbag casually on the wall, "What's wrong?"

"Come and take a look."

Chai Chai moved to the side, turned the mouse wheel, and returned to the top of the webpage.

This was a new post on the player forum, which had already received hundreds of replies in less than five minutes.

And the content of the post—

《Earthquake Strikes Mayotte, Tsunami Caused by Earthquake Swallows Coastal Facilities》

Mayotte?

Li Ang searched his mind for relevant information. This group of islands is located between the African continent and the Madagascar archipelago, with an area of 374 square kilometers and a population of more than 200,000. It mainly produces spices such as vanilla and belongs to the French overseas territories.

The last time he heard the name of this group of islands was a long time ago.

"Submarine seismic wave?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows. All the global seismic sensors had detected a strange seismic wave signal, repeating every seventeen seconds for a total of 20 minutes.

The source of the signal came from Mayotte.

At that time, scientists said that a new volcano was forming under the coast of Mayotte, but this theory could not explain the long breathing sounds that locals heard every night when they went to bed.

"This news is over a year old, right?"

Li Ang frowned and said, "Is it a supernatural event?"

"Not sure yet."

Chai Chai shook her head and said, "The local contact with the outside world has not been interrupted. There are live broadcast posts on the foreign website and player forums.

Let me see, it's here..."

She clicked on a live broadcast room. The live broadcast screen was an outdoor environment, coming from a local resident's mobile phone.

In the mobile phone screen, the low white-painted buildings were shaking violently.

The local people with darker skin stood on the dusty dirt road, running and shouting emotionally, telling others to seize the time to leave the houses.

In the distance, the green-covered island hills were also shaking slightly at a visible rate.

Waves up to nine meters high surged from the sea, like the arms of a giant, heavily hitting the island hills, easily sweeping away a large area of trees.

The owner of the mobile phone, which was the source of the live broadcast screen, handed the mobile phone to his son and drove his family to a higher open area at high speed.

The road surface along the way kept cracking.

Trees shook and broke, revealing lush roots, like scenes from the movie *2012*.

After a while, the earth's shaking finally stopped. The mobile phone camera scanned down the mountain.

The entire island was devastated, with collapsed buildings, fallen trees, and vehicles swept away by the sea, piled up in a mess like children's building blocks.

"That's..."

Li Ang's pupils shrank. In the distant sea above the screen, the sea water was spinning at high speed, forming a large vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters below the sea surface.

And the center of the vortex was a circle of blurred, colorful starlight.

A stargate, or rather, a door,

Was absorbing huge amounts of seawater at a terrifying rate.

The shape of this stargate had not completely stabilized, sometimes expanding, sometimes shrinking, rising and falling like a heart.

The owner of the mobile phone also noticed the vortex, zooming in on the mobile phone screen.

However, the mobile phone's camera was really bad, and after zooming in, it could not see clearly.

He could only vaguely see that on the edge of the stargate, there were several glowing, tall humanoid phantoms, as if they were guarding the stargate.

Alien monsters? Guardians of the stargate?

Just as Li Ang's thoughts were turning rapidly, five black spots flew from outside the horizon of Mayotte, extremely fast, and urgently hovered above the stargate.

One of the black spots fell into the water.

Seconds later, the black spot on the water released a thunder attack on the stargate that was absorbing seawater below.

A lightning bolt as thick as a bucket penetrated the seawater and hit the stargate.

Colorful arc-shaped light waves burst around the stargate, and the seawater was pushed by the shock wave, soaring into the sky.

Like a deep-sea torpedo explosion, it stirred up a splash as high as a seven or eight-story building.

After a second or two, the mobile phone heard a loud "boom".

The owner holding the mobile phone let out a terrified exclamation, and the live broadcast screen was inexplicably interrupted without any warning.

"..."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes, looking at the dark live broadcast screen, his brows furrowed.

Chai Chai smacked her lips, "What was that just now..."

"A door."

Li Ang said slowly, "Like my stargate, it can pay Lingli (spiritual energy) and expand freely."

"What do you mean?"

Chai Chai asked blankly, "Has the earth been invaded by aliens?"

"Possibly, but I'm more inclined to think it's bidirectional..."

Li Ang moved his position, tapped the keys on the laptop, and returned to the player forum.

Posts about Mayotte have now been pushed to the top of the hot topics, with more than seven hundred replies in a short period of time, surpassing the recent popular posts that record abnormal events around the world.

Li Ang quickly scanned the replies from the players in the thread, and then looked at the information on the foreign website—Mayotte's local network has been interrupted from the outside world.

The last picture that came out was the scene of the stargate being attacked, which was filmed in the previous live broadcast room.

"No clearer picture..."

Li Ang frowned and said, "But that is indeed a stargate.

The five black spots that rushed over later should not be from the European Heavy Industries Group—although they have many strongholds in Africa, they are all relatively far from Mayotte or Madagascar.

Most likely it is a special task force from the Global Supernatural Alliance. Only they have this kind of action efficiency.

However, attacking the guardians of the stargate directly upon meeting them, instead of trying to negotiate and communicate, is a bit unlike the Global Supernatural Alliance's style of doing things.

Or do they have more undisclosed information..."
