Chapter 1554: Underground Pocket



Ning's proposal had to be thought through, so the group of 5 moved to a corner where they began talking among themselves.

This was supposed to be a simple delivery, but now it had turned into something that could truly disrupt their entire chain of Dust supply.

The woman had to make an extremely important decision and she had to make it quick.

Ning sat by the side, waiting for their decision to come to a conclusion. After a while, the five finally turned around and the girl at the front spoke up.

"Okay, we will accept your offer. Are you free to go with us right now?" she asked.

"Absolutely," Ning said. He stood up and dusted himself off, ready to move.

The five walked into the hole in the wall and beckoned Ning to get on as well.

"I'll see you guys soon," Ning told Jay, Cenn, and the rest and walked in with them. As soon as he walked in, two of the men immediately began moving their hands and the hole began covering up.

Two crystals appeared from two of the other people who were at the front, showing the pathway inside of the tunnel.

The tunnel in total was about 2 meters in diameter and 3 meters across. That was just enough space for the people to be in.

Ning watched as the two carvers at the front pulled the earth from the front and deposited it behind them, making the tiny pocket of air inside the tunnel continue moving.

Ning walked along, surprised at how efficient everyone was. He was more than sure that they did this a lot.

"What are your names, by the way?" Ning asked. "My name is Ning."

"Karina," the woman answered. "You don't need to know the others' names for now."

"Okay," Ning said and continued walking. "So, Miss Karina. May I ask where exactly we are going?"

'No, they can't do that. They can't learn about other people just by doing that,' Ning thought. He had been taught that.

Aside from Cultivators, who could help regrow a person's body, no one else could do anything to a person that the person did not want to without using a lot of Spark.

Even Connectors needed permission to glimpse more than a single instance of thought, and that was breaching privacy.

Whatever the reason was, a human body just required a lot of Spark to have the powers be used on them. A regular Thinker would have to consume so much Spark to gain one bit of insight about a human that it would break them completely.

Ning wondered why that was. Had the energy itself created some sort of contingency? Many special Energies did do that.

'I wonder if since Spark comes from Krimanax, it needs to be something Krimanax knows about for them to know too?' Ning thought. Since they lived underground, there was not

much for Spark to tell them.

Could that be the case?

Whatever the case was, Ning was satisfied in knowing that these people wouldn't just know what he was doing.

Ning could feel his eardrums slowly being pushed. It didn't affect him much, but the other people were a little uncomfortable. There was a Breather among their group of 6 who was secretly adding air to the pocket.

Otherwise, they would've long ago begun feeling the effect of a high carbon dioxide concentration in the air.

"We're nearly there," Karina finally said and the other gave a simple hum of confirmation.

Ning looked forward to knowing where he had come from. If his guess was correct though, he had to either be in City 7 or City 8. That had most definitely walked through the entire Military city with no doubt.

The pocket of air finally opened on the other side and the pressure dropped. Everyone sighed

in relief.

They had arrived at their destination.
