Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 171 Cause and Effect
hall.

Ran Tianyun's secret crystal.

There were four or five hundred people watching here.

This is the adventurer who has made the fastest progress and is the only one who has entered the fourth act of the Titan chapter.

What challenges will Cooper and BT encounter? What is the secret mission of the teacher and Major Anderson? What kind of conspiracy is the IMC brewing? Will the resistance succeed in the end?
Follow-up development!

It's so exciting.

The three lords were also watching.

Although I feel a little weird watching Ran Tianyun's adventure, I have to admit that the Titan chapter has a unique style and a compact story that is very attractive. It's inevitable that I'll be curious about the next adventure.

now.

Ran Tianyun was driving a mecha.

Reached the target area.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and rain, and a ruin appeared before our eyes.

There are many huge buildings among them, and it is not difficult to see their former grandeur and technological sense.

Today, the facilities are in a dilapidated state, with collapsed walls covered with moss, vegetation spreading from the cracks, and dust floating in the air, giving people a feeling of the end of the world.

"This place looks like a disaster. It looks like all the survivors have been evacuated and it has been deserted for some time."

Ran Tianyun was a little suspicious.

He asked, "Are you sure it's here?"

BT said, "This is the investigation location of Special Operation 217. It seems we need to split up and investigate the facilities here."

"All right!"

Ran Tianyun then logged out of the mecha.

Descending from the abandoned elevator shaft into the interior of the building.

BT's voice rang out from within the helmet: "Pilot, Major Anderson is nearby. Please investigate this facility. We will rendezvous on the other side."

Ran Tianyun said: "I understand. You should also be careful and don't get caught again."

BT: "I'm not going to take shortcuts anymore."

All the adventurers were delighted.

"Hahaha!"

"Laughing to death!"

"I suddenly feel that BT is very cute."

"Sure enough, you're still brooding over what happened last time."

"Has it left a psychological scar? This robot sometimes really acts like a simple human. I really want to own a mecha as powerful and interesting as BT!"

"..."

not difficult to see.

When the adventure reaches this point.

The adventurer and BT have established a deep friendship.

Even viewers who simply watch the live broadcast like him very much.

Ran Tianyun successfully entered the facility. This place was already covered in rust. Many green vines grew on both sides of the corridor. The ground was also overgrown with weeds and even shrubs.

"This place is completely deserted. What on earth is there to investigate?"

Suddenly, I felt an inexplicable change in pressure, and the surrounding air, temperature, and light changed dramatically.

Whoosh!
The scene suddenly changes.

The environment just a moment ago was cold and overcast, the windows were broken and only the frames remained, the walls were covered with vines, the ground was covered with weeds, and the whole place was in a mess and rusty.

At this moment, the environment has turned into warm colors, with the setting sun shining obliquely. The glass on both sides is clean and intact, the floor and desktop facilities are spotless, and several administrative robots are walking or working.

"What happened? Did you get hit by an illusion?"

"That's impossible! There shouldn't be such a thing as magic in this world!"

"Then how do you explain this change?"

"I don't know, let's see!"

"..."

While the adventurers were discussing.

Ran Tianyun walked a short distance.

Whoosh!
Sudden correction.

Back to the original cold and dilapidated environment.

"It's changed back again?"

"Is this really some kind of hallucination?"

"Not really. Look carefully. The shape of the room and the window, the arrangement of the tables and equipment, the two places are exactly the same. I don't think it's just an illusion."

Ran Tianyun was full of confusion.

Continue forward and turn a corner.

This is an office area, the tables were burnt black and the equipment was all broken.

Whoosh!
Flash again.

Once again, it has become a clean, tidy and technologically advanced place.

Various facilities are complete and the ground is clean. Several robots are moving things. Several researchers in white coats are discussing something based on the data on a display screen on the wall.

At this time, a researcher noticed Ran Tianyun and was about to greet him.

Whoosh!
Return to the dilapidated environment.

Several researchers disappeared.

The display screen was still on the wall, but it was mostly broken and covered with cracks.

"It's not an illusion. All the details match one by one. I seem to be seeing scenes from the past!"

After Ran Tianyun made this judgment, he obviously found it hard to believe.

He then asked, "BT, what do you think?"

BT replied, "Space-time distortions have permeated this facility, creating numerous rifts in time... I advise caution until we have more information."

Elise: "A time rift? So, Sky Cloud Ranger wasn't just hallucinating, but actually went back in time!"

Nancy Liya was horrified: "Traveling through time... this is a thousand times more difficult than traveling through space. It's a divine power that no mortal can master. The Lord actually designed such a design for this level!"

The power of time is a more profound power than the power of space.

Even if there is a strong person who can use the power of time, it is almost impossible to travel to the past or the future!

Ran Tianyun left the office area and walked through the corridor.

He walked into a large conference hall.

The place has been destroyed, with moss all over the ground and vines on the walls. Two-thirds of the roof has been blown off, a large amount of twisted steel structure is exposed and rusted, concrete blocks have flattened the seating area, and heavy rain continues to pour in.

Whoosh!
Another flashback.

A brand new conference hall appeared before everyone.

At this time, the conference hall was brightly lit and filled with people in uniform. Holographic projections and screens were showing various images. A middle-aged man in black with the rank of general and a dignified face was giving a speech on the stage.

He said righteously:

“Don’t forget our original intention.”

"In the future, humans will continue to reproduce in this galaxy."

"And decisively eliminating the Militia is the only way to safeguard the common interests of the IMC and humanity..."

Everyone in the audience looked at him in astonishment, seemingly unable to understand why such a fully armed soldier would barge in during a meeting.

The black-clad general also noticed Ran Tianyun.

He frowned and asked, "What do you want, Pilot?"

The general obviously didn't realize that the other party was a rebel fighter. After all, at this critical juncture, it was impossible for the rebels to appear on Typhon, let alone break into this top-secret base so brazenly.

Whoosh!
Don't wait for a reaction.

Another timeline correction.

Ran Tianyun returned to the abandoned hall.

His position has not changed, but the general in black is gone.

Ran Tianyun checked and found that the computer on the podium could still be started, which contained a large number of recording logs. When he opened the last one, he immediately heard a familiar voice.

Could it be that……

Ran Tianyun's expression changed.

Scroll directly to the end of the recording.

"...Decisive destruction of the Militia is the only way to safeguard the shared interests of the IMC and humanity... Pilot, what's wrong?... What's going on?... Why did he disappear?... Who is it? Find him!"

In an instant.

Scalp tingling!

Everyone's scalp was tingling!

It is not difficult to judge from this remaining recording log.

The adventurer's flashback is not just seeing the projection of time, or entering a parallel time and space, but actually traveling to a certain point in the past. He can interact with past scenes and characters, affect the present, and change reality!
"It's amazing!"

“Amazing!”

"In this secret realm!"

"We adventurers can travel through time and tamper with reality!"

"..."

Everyone was amazed and amazed.

Ran Tianyun left the conference hall and walked through a long corridor.

The corridor was dead silent, the glass on the ceiling was all shattered, rain was constantly flowing in, and the ground was covered with debris and plants.

Whoosh!
Flashback to the past!

This is a clean and tidy corridor. Warm sunlight shines through the glass dome, and the Typhon satellite, which is still intact and has not been blown up, hangs in the blue sky.

Whoosh!
Back to the present.

A monitor lizard bursts into the hallway and roars in defiance.

But he was snatched away by a two-legged dragon-like monster that fell from the sky.

Whoosh!
This corridor was clean and free of wild animals.

There were only dense crowds of pedestrians, including soldiers in military uniforms and elites dressed as researchers. Their conversations could be heard, and several of them cast confused and puzzled glances at the adventurer.

Whoosh!
Walk to the end of the corridor.

Looking out from here, the deserted city is in full view. It is still drizzling in the sky, and more than a dozen two-legged flying dragons are circling in the sky. The buildings are all dilapidated, the square is in a mess, and there is a strange facility in the center.

This facility is a bit like an underground city teleportation station, except that it is extremely large and consists of multiple movable rings. At this moment, the facility has collapsed and broken, leaving only ruins.

Whoosh!
Flashback again!
Still the same perspective.

Still the same place.

Completely different style.

At this moment, the city is intact and extremely clean. All the buildings are full of design sense. There are no wyverns in the air, only high-tech aircraft. The ground square is also full of pedestrians and vehicles.

As for the multi-ring facility in the center.

It is now intact and looks like it is about to start.

Whoosh!
The rain just got heavier.

Bolts of lightning kept falling in the distance.

Make this dilapidated and destroyed city feel more doomsday.

This repeated flashback and revision, the same space and location, different timelines, presented completely different and contrasting scenes, which made all the onlookers present feel horror and shock from the soul.

"Incredible!"

"too crazy!"

"It's simply a divine creation!" "How did the lord manage to do that? He actually managed to fit two different timelines into the same secret realm and have them constantly alternate between each other."

"Incredible!"

“Unbelievable!”

“I’ve never seen such design and production!”

"..."

All the adventurers exclaimed in amazement.

Ren Wanxiong, Li Jianhan, and Gao Yue were so shocked that they were completely speechless and at a loss for words.
If the design of the previous level was beyond the reach of the three lords, at least it was still within their cognition... The design of this level completely overturned their understanding of the world, the lords, and the secret realm!
"I've never seen a lord... who could achieve this level of secret realm."

"Can Miracle City even integrate the laws of time into the secret realm?"

“This is too incredible!”

"Lord Qi is likely to completely change this world..."

As the person involved, Ran Tianyun was so shocked that he lost the ability to think. He simply followed Cooper's instinct and slid down from the corridor to the square below, and then came in front of BT.

"What the hell is this place?"

"The IMC maintains several scientific research bases throughout the Frontier, but this particular facility is not one known to the Militia."

Ran Tianyun saw many soldiers' remains in the square.

"None of these remains match Major Anderson's genetic profile; he may still be alive."

BT put down the remains and continued, "I suggest you check the reception hall. While I'd like to work with you, unfortunately, my body is too large to fit inside."

"give it to me!"

Ran Tianyun searched.

There is a pilot's body on the second-floor ceiling of the hall.

The body died in a very strange way, embedded alive in the floor, with only the head and a small part of the body hanging outside. When the helmet was removed for comparison, it was discovered that it was Major Anderson.

did not think of.

In the end, only the body of Major Anderson was found.

Did the mission fail?

Ran Tianyun couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

After all, he and BT had gone through many hardships and dangers to get here. Such a result was obviously unacceptable, making him feel frustrated and depressed.

Ran Tianyun said in a deep voice: "I found the major. He was stuck in the ceiling for unknown reasons. Unfortunately, he is dead."

Unlike the Pilot.

BT didn't show any emotion.

He replied directly: "Objective accomplished, we have reunited with Major Anderson."

"what?"

Ran Tianyun was originally very sad.

Now I feel happy when I hear BT say this.

He said, "I didn't expect you to be so humorous!"

BT replied seriously: "I didn't mean to be humorous."

Ran Tianyun was speechless.

The adventurers outside heard the conversation and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"What a hell of a sense of humor!"

"You're talking about whether they reunited or not? At least they reunited with some of Major Anderson's troops."

"My BT is indeed an optimistic and good boy!"

"..."

Ran Tianyun brought Major Anderson's helmet to BT. The Pilot's helmet is the most important and iconic piece of equipment on the Pilot. As long as he gets it, he can analyze and read key data.

"Following Major Anderson's death, Special Operations 217 will be transferred to you in accordance with operational regulations."

BT said: "Pilot Cooper, congratulations on your promotion."

Ran Tianyun learned this through the data in the helmet.

This special investigation mission was personally assigned to Anderson by the rebel commander.

This is also the reason why the rebels attacked Typhon, because just a few weeks ago a mysterious energy appeared on Typhon, causing a terrible explosion, which directly destroyed Typhon's satellite.

According to preliminary investigation.

The energy source of the explosion is likely to come from here.

This energy also caused serious time confusion here.

Major Anderson's mission is to investigate this secret facility and find out the source of this energy.

The rebel commander Sarah gave Major Anderson a wrist-worn device recovered during Operation Grizzly, which will become a key prop for investigating the area.

The other half of Major Anderson's body was found.

Ran Tianyun successfully obtained the wrist-worn device and immediately understood its value.

"I see."

"With this wrist-worn device..."

"I can then freely travel between the two timelines without any more passive time travel!"

Ran Tianyun was extremely excited.

He next used a wrist-worn device.

Start investigating by tracking down Anderson.

In this process, we must continue to go deeper into the most core and dangerous areas of this area.

This would undoubtedly be a very difficult task, but after having the wrist-mounted device, Ran Tianyun felt that he had transformed into a space assassin and time walker.

Master the law of cause and effect.

So become omnipotent!

All spatial obstacles are no longer a nuisance or hassle!
The hall collapsed completely, making it impassable?
Whoosh!
Almost traveling to the past.

The lobby is immaculate and spotless.

Ran Tianyun passed through the hall effortlessly and quickly, but encountered a laser trap at the entrance of the research institute. The entire entrance was covered by high-energy lasers and was impassable!

Whoosh!
Flash back to the present.

The gate was covered in vines and rust.

The laser trap had long since failed.

Ran Tianyun passed through the door without any obstacles.

Not long after walking, we came across another corridor engulfed in flames and impassable. The leaked energy gas continued to burn like an inferno.

Whoosh!
It's almost time to go back to the past again.

This corridor is intact and can be easily passed.

Whoosh whoosh!
Obstacles, traps, and troubles of all kinds no longer pose a hindrance.

Ran Tianyun kept shuttling between the two timelines, feeling that he was showing off so well, a feeling he had never experienced before!

An identical scene.

There are two different styles of painting.

The internal structures are also very different yet complementary to each other.

One moment you are in a fully functional and technologically advanced place, and the next moment you are walking in a dilapidated and decadent ruin that looks like the end of the world.

Repeated quick wear.

Repeated flashbacks!

Such a superb experience.

It is unimaginable for adventurers.

Just looking at it is like enjoying a visual feast!
Ran Tianyun was becoming more and more excited and high-spirited at this moment, and as he continued to go deeper, he used fast travel and flashback more and more frequently.

such as.

When passing through a slide-like pipe.

There are at least five or six deadly traps, including high-speed spiral fan blades from the past and flames and steel spikes from the collapse of the present. Adventurers need to use time jumps accurately to dodge them while sliding quickly.

Whoosh whoosh!

Every time it's just before danger strikes.

Accurately avoided the crisis by dodging in time!
As adventurers go deeper and deeper, they encounter more and more dangers and obstacles. Not only do they need to avoid various obstacles by jumping through time, but they also need to deal with threats from IMC security forces and robot guards.

When the battle reached its climax.

It flashes once or twice almost every second.

Ran Tianyun constantly alternates time jumps to deal with enemies in different timelines, by going around behind enemies in the past to attack them, or using the past to set traps for enemies that appear in the present, and personally creating various causes and effects!
The pace is getting faster and faster!

The frequency of time travel is increasing!

And the operations are becoming more and more amazing and unpredictable!

This adventure was not long but it left everyone stunned and dazzled. It was like watching a dance of time, a performance art that broke through cognition. The viewing experience and the sense of experience reached the extreme!
"It's incredible!"

"Is this really an experience a mere mortal can have?"

"Even a god can't travel back and forth through time without limit and change cause and effect like this!"

"God among gods!"

"Old thief Qi is invincible!"

"If I hadn't come to Miracle City, who would have thought that the secret realm could be so amazing? This kind of battle and adventure based on the time dimension is something I couldn't even imagine in my wildest dreams!"

"Ranger boss is awesome!"

“The experience of using time differences to create cause and effect is so amazing!”

"This is awesome! I absolutely must beat this level! This is the coolest and most awesome secret realm I've ever seen!"

"Although Cooper is only a mortal with a physical performance of only level one and one star, the pleasure brought by this operation is undoubtedly no less than that of level four Ai Ge!"

"..."

Combat and exploration in Sky Cloud Ranger are very fluid.

As the plot progressed, Ran Tianyun followed the investigation log left by Anderson and quickly found out the truth of the whole matter. A huge conspiracy finally surfaced.

"So the IMC is weaponizing the ancient power core 'The Ark'!"

"This ancient civilization left behind a powerful energy source with the ability to warp time. The power it holds is unimaginably powerful. The IMC intends to weaponize it, with the ultimate goal of targeting Harmony!"

"Harmony Planet?"

"That's right, this planet Harmony is none other than the home planet of Cooper, Lastimosa, and almost all the rebels!"

"The IMC has already conducted experiments using the Ark's powerful energy to destroy Typhon's satellite. This experiment only released a small portion of the Ark's power."

The adventurers learned this in public.

Everyone stared with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"what does that mean?"

"As long as the IMC plan succeeds."

"They can wipe the entire rebel home planet out of the universe in an instant!"

"In this way, tens of millions of people, nearly a hundred million, will all disappear in an instant!"

"When the Militia loses its most important base and core source of manpower, what will they rely on to fight the IMC in the future? The final outcome is predictable!"

"..."

Everyone was stunned by this power and this plan!
Ran Tianyun thought of Captain Lastimosa's deep love for his hometown, and also felt the strong and unyielding will to resist in Cooper's heart.

When infected by this emotion.

He silently swore that no matter how difficult it was, he would stop all this from happening!
