Chapter 432 - Twisted.
Yang Dao was not aware that Atsuji Kurogame had actually begun to kill people. As he was getting deeper in his comprehension the world was getting distant for her. He did not hear anything Atsuji Kurogame said and kept meditating with his mind occupied by the question of the laws.
…
Outside the bunker has descended into chaos. Lin was getting more and more helpless in controlling the people. The one who passed away was none other than the botanist of the group, Tanya.
The physician was right there when she got a cardiac arrest. The physician performed CPR and artificial respiration but to no avail. After ten minutes of trying with defibrillators. He gave up with a solemn expression on his face.
Lin asked calmly, “Can you tell us the cause of her death?”
The physician shook his head and said, “Before the flight entered the second phase. We had all done checks in the space station. It should not be a hidden illness or anything. We did not feel any gravitation anomaly here as well, so that is also not the case.”
The physicist said, “Could it be because of the less gravity here. It can also work negatively on the bodies.”
The doctor shook his head and said, “This is not possible Krum. It will take a long time before our muscles dissolve because of low gravity. This is Physique and not physics.”
The people around agreed with this statement. However, they were confused. Thankfully they had closed the telecast from the suits otherwise the people n the planet would have cried along with them. As they were wondering what was going on, thirty more minutes passed.
Krum the physicist passed away from cardiac arrest as well. The people were shocked. The engineer even suspected that Yang Dao induced them with a poison serum and that was why they were dying like this. Lin immediately silenced him, however, the two other people did not trust her much. They wanted to switch on the live feed and show the world what was happening here.
She was here to safeguard Yang Dao and his image. She took a step and tied them all up. They cannot under her knots at all. Unless they are willing to get hurt. Lin sat on a chair. She looked at the situation around her and sighed. Three people were tied and two were laying on the floor. She sighed and mumbled, “Dao, come back fast.”
…
The young man in her mouth was sitting over the levitating board and his mind was scratching over the few things he understood about space. Suddenly, his body shivered. A few moments later he opened his sparkling eyes and asked, “I am done.”
Atsuji Kurogame smiled and said, “I have killed three of your crew members. Now depending on your answers, I will deal with the rest.”
Yang Dao nodded without flinching and asked, “What is your question?”
Atsuji Kurogame asked, “What do think is Space?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Yang Dao replied, “It is infinite and yet it is nothing. The all-encompassing yet had no value. It can be folded and yet it is not tangible.”
Atsuji Kurogame nodded and said, “Good theory, but can you control it?”
Yang Dao nodded, he waved his hand and created another barrier inside the barrier. He said, “This place is now an isolated space. Has its own atmosphere.”
Atsuji Kurogame was shocked for a second and chuckled, he said, “Hahaha, Yang Dao, you are trying to play me. Do you think I am a fool? This barrier is your space manipulation?”
His tone became angrier. he did not expect this boy to do this to him. To use this barrier as a trick of space manipulation. Yang Dao, however, smiled and said, “You think of yourself as a fool, elder. You asked me to manipulate the space. This barrier is a fold in the space, it is a basic level technique. You did not mention what level of manipulation I needed to showcase.”
Atsuji Kurogame said, “Then I ask you to do a manipulate it at a higher level. What is your answer?”
Yang Dao shook his head and said, “I cannot do it. Also, you cannot change the questions according to how you will them. Simple as that.”
Atsuji Kurogame said, “I am the invigilator set here by the Dao.”
Yang Dao smiled and said, “I am the Dao.” with that said, his eyes became golden and his hair began to ruffle without any wind.
The boy had to cut his hair short when he was taking the flight to the moon. Atsuji Kurogame sensed the space fluctuate. He calmed down and sighed. He asked, “Do you know what is time?”
Yang Dao nodded and answered the question, “Time is eternal yet non-existing. Time is similar to space, however, it is completely different than space…”
The young man gave the answer and when Atsuji Kurogame asked him can he manipulate the flow of time, he said, “I have made you be entangled with me for such a long time, did you not notice the manipulation?”
Atsuji Kurogame was surprised, he realized that the two people have been talking for an hour without him realizing it. This made him grit his teeth. Yang Dao had outsmarted him. None of the previous Dao Children could do that. He was not ashamed to say this. This was a trial before the trial. He could not show his reality from otherwise he would have been bowing to Yang Dao in all grandiore.
The old man said, “Master, I apologize for my previous behavior but it was only to check whether you can pass the trial without losing your calm. Anger is the enemy of calm and wisdom. This trial was not to test your space and time laws but wisdom.”
Yang Dao nodded and said, “Bring those you have taken back to life and they must not remember any of it. I will forgive you then.”
This was the first thing that came to his mind. He did not wish to see any of the people dying because of his wisdom being tested. Atsuji Kurogame nodded and something incredible happened. The whole universe slowly rewound into the place where it was one and half an hour ago.. The sight, if anyone witnessed it would have been shocked.
