Through the camera, Chen Yu's complexion darkened when he saw over a hundred people swarming into his room. He then opened the box as quickly as he could and looked at the high-tech product inside.
"A door?!"
After a moment of surprise, Chen Yu hurriedly reached out and pulled out the door from the box.
The door before him was made of black metal. The surface of the door was smooth and reflective, and the interior of the metal coating was engraved with dense circuits. Even from Chen Yu's 21st century perspective, the door looked extremely retro.
After giving the door a quick glance, Chen Yu bent down to pick up the thick instruction manual inside the box and nervously flipped through it.
As time was of the essence, Chen Yu quickly skimmed through the instruction manual. When he reached the instruction manual's introduction and operation section, his expression changed dramatically.
This high-tech product was called the Interstellar Portal. It was developed by the Transcendent Group in the year 3766 and began commercial mass production in the year 3800.
The Interstellar Portal had a built-in space-bending generator and a space-time stabilizer. The Interstellar Portal could temporarily bend space within the gravitational range of a star, allowing humans to travel freely within the Interstellar System.
Even if one wanted to go to the moon, they could reach the moon in a second by opening the door and taking a step.
In the last paragraph of the instruction manual's second page, the product director, "Kramis," emphasized the Transcendent Group's contributions to the field of time science.
This was because the Interstellar Portal had already been born as early as the year 2753.
However, due to the close and complex relationship between space and time, humans couldn't just distort space and stabilize time.
Hence, once one passed through this "semi-finished" Interstellar Portal, countless years would pass in the outside world.
The smaller the space, the longer one's time would be. This was completely in line with the theory of relativity.
This phenomenon was extremely obvious in large-scale particle accelerator experiments.
Hence, the Transcendent Group believed that the Space-Time Stabilizer they created was a leap forward for the entire human civilization's science and technology!
Every user must engrave this in their hearts …
After quickly reading through the first half of the instruction manual, Chen Yu tossed it aside.
The rest of the instruction manual was filled with the Transcendent Group bragging about the company's history, difficulties in growing up, and contributions to human civilization.
"This thing is good...
"Very good...
"I have an idea!
"As long as I connect this door to another room, won't nobody be able to enter my real room?"
While muttering to himself, Chen Yu swiftly opened his bedroom's wooden door and tried to remove it.
However, the wooden door was very sturdy. No matter how much force he exerted, he could only cause the door to creak.
Boom!
Chen Yu angrily kicked the ground, leaving behind only a shallow footprint on the ground.
"Are you a f * cking security door?"
Raising his wrist, he glanced at the screen on his watch. The group of seven or eight people had already boarded the elevator and were rushing to the 19th floor.
Chen Yu anxiously paced around on the spot a few times before smacking himself on the head. He then rushed into his bedroom, took out the Golden Finger, and wore it on his middle finger. He then pressed down on the "Force 3" button and aimed at the wooden door.
Bang!
Kacha!
The wooden door of the bedroom was instantly torn in half by the tremendous force.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
He flicked the door three more times without stopping, and the wooden door was completely shattered, turning into wood shavings that filled the sky and scattered in all directions.
Glancing at his watch's screen, Chen Yu quickly grabbed a broom and swept the wooden blocks, dregs, and sawdust into his bedroom. He then picked up the Interstellar Portal and stuck it to the door frame. He then chose to change its appearance on the metal door's retro screen...
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Chen Yu, are you home?
We are from the education department. Why didn't you go to school today? "
Chen Yu shuddered in fright. His fingers trembled as he searched for the "spatial folding" position on the screen. "Where should I choose... Where should I choose... Right!
Right, right, right!
Upstairs!
There's only one otaku on the 20th floor!
Connect to his second bedroom!
I hope he's in the master bedroom... "
Dong dong dong!
"Chen Yu, are you home?
Open the door! We're not here to criticize you! We're here to send you warmth! "
Dong dong dong!
"Chen Yu?
If you don't open the door, we'll open it! "
Outside the security door...
Pushing on his glasses, the middle-aged team leader touched the weapon at his waist and took a step back. He then turned to Xiao Li beside him and said, "Open the door. Everyone, be careful."
"Yes, sir!" everyone answered.
The young man named Xiao Li stepped forward and pulled out a professional lockpicking device from his pocket. He then inserted the device into the keyhole and twisted his wrists.
"Kada."
With a crisp sound, the door was unlocked.
“OK！”
With a cold expression, Xiao Li coolly waved his hand and said, "Done."
"Kada."
Another crisp sound came from the door.
Taken aback, Xiao Li tentatively pulled on the door. However, the door refused to budge.
"L-Leader, he locked it from the inside again."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone could vaguely feel that from this moment onward, the style of the entire world seemed to have changed...
"Continue opening it!" the middle-aged team leader said with a dark expression.
"Yes, sir."
Nodding, Xiao Li inserted the lockpicking device into the door and twisted his wrist.
"Kada."
"Kada."
"... T-It's locked again."
Everyone: "..."
"Open the door the instant you unlock it!"
"Yes, sir."
"Kada."
"Kada."
Everyone: "..."
"Leader, this won't do. He's locking it too quickly.
He can't keep pulling on it. If he keeps pulling on it, I won't be able to open it. "
"Open!
Continue opening it! "
"Kada."
"Kada."
"Kada."
"Kacha …"
Everyone: "..."
Half a minute later, Xiao Li pulled out the lockpicking device and wiped his sweat. "Leader, this isn't fair!
I'm much more tired than he is!
He can even open a double-layered lock! "
After a moment of hesitation, the middle-aged team leader knocked on the door once more.
Knock! Knock!
"Student Chen Yu, stop playing around.
Please open the door. "
"Who are you?
There are no adults at home, "Chen Yu's voice came from inside the house.
"We've met in Principal Pang's office before. We're here to pay a home visit to understand the sixth graders' learning and living conditions.
Why aren't you going to school? "
"The teachers won't teach me, so I have no choice but to learn by myself."
"In that case, it's even more necessary for us to understand.
Student Chen Yu, please open the door. "
As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, the other side of the door fell silent.
Just as the middle-aged team leader and his subordinates were about to take forceful action, the door suddenly opened.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding a junior high school English textbook in his hand, Chen Yu leaned half his body out of the door like a refined intellectual.
Melodious music could also be heard coming from inside the house.
"Why are there so many people?" Chen Yu asked, frowning as he adjusted his glasses.
Reacting quickly, the middle-aged team leader extended a foot through the door gap and said with a smile, "They're all colleagues from the education department. Let's talk inside."
"So many people..." Chen Yu hesitated.
"We're just here to understand the situation."
After saying so, the middle-aged team leader took advantage of his fat body and squeezed his way into the house. Immediately, the other six people followed suit.
"A-Are you really here for a home visit?" Chen Yu hurriedly retreated, appearing extremely nervous.
"Yes.
Student Chen Yu, you said that Sixth High's teachers aren't teaching you. Is that true?
Tell us the specifics of your situation. "
Taking out a small notebook from his pocket, the middle-aged team leader pretended to record Chen Yu's words. However, he was secretly ordering everyone to move out of the corner of his eye.
Immediately, the six people spread out and began carefully inspecting the house with camera equipment hanging on their chests.
"W-What are they doing?"
"We're just trying to understand Student Chen Yu's living conditions in detail," the middle-aged team leader casually said.
The middle-aged team leader casually replied. He then looked straight into Chen Yu's eyes and carefully observed the changes in Chen Yu's facial expressions and eyes.
"Isn't this trespassing?!"
"No, no. Don't be nervous.
Let's sit in the living room and chat. "
Turning from guest to host, the middle-aged team leader led Chen Yu to the living room's sofa and asked, "Student Chen Yu, how many people are there in your family?"
"T-Six."
"What industries do your parents work in?"
"My mother is temporarily unemployed. My father …"
While the two were conversing, Xiao Li and a police officer arrived before Chen Yu's bedroom. Xiao Li then reached for the doorknob and slowly twisted it.
Squeak, squeak, squeak …
The sound of the spring inside the door being pulled reverberated throughout the living room, clearly audible.
It turned out that everyone, including the team leader and Chen Yu, had shut their mouths nervously, their gazes focused on the bedroom door. The atmosphere in the living room was solemn and silent.
According to their previous analysis, this west-facing bedroom on the 19th floor was very likely the scene shown in Transdimensional Review's video.
As professionals, so long as they entered the room and took a look, they would definitely discover even the tiniest clues!
And once they discovered something …
Their attitude toward Chen Yu would no longer be as simple as a home visit …
Squeak, squeak, squeak … Click.
After twisting the circular doorknob to its limit, Xiao Li exchanged a glance with the police officer beside him and gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Under everyone's nervous gazes, Xiao Li then slowly opened the door …
