"You bastard, you’re still alive!"
Turning his head and seeing the familiar smiling face of Lin Beichen, Song Xiangdong’s face was filled with disbelief.
He never would have thought that Lin Beichen would appear in front of him completely unharmed.
To know that the scenes refracted from the black hole were perfectly clear to him, in such a situation, even a real Immortal would struggle to find a way out, let alone Lin Beichen.
"Could it be that Director Song really wishes for my death?"
Lin Beichen knew that the other party genuinely cared about him, but in such a situation, he should still relieve the tension a bit. However, what Lin Beichen did not expect was that as soon as he said this, he got a smack on the head from Song Xiangdong.
Lin Beichen rubbed his head helplessly, tilting his face to look at Song Xiangdong.
Song Xiangdong didn’t expect he would actually hit him, clearly treating Lin Beichen like his own child.
"I’m just a bit shocked, how did you manage to come out alive? Just what kind of place was that?"
Perhaps realizing his recent behavior was a bit unreasonable, Song Xiangdong quickly changed the topic.
Lin Beichen thought carefully, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t come up with a suitable explanation.
"It probably exists outside of this world, something like a mysterious space."
In the end, he could only give this explanation, but in Lin Beichen’s eyes, it seemed the most fitting.
"Could there really be other so-called worlds?"
Song Xiangdong’s eyes gradually became puzzled. Everything he had encountered after meeting Lin Beichen had made a considerable impact on him.
Originally, he didn’t believe in those supernatural things and was a firm materialist. Yet everything Lin Beichen had shown seemed to have nothing to do with materialism.
What he had seen or experienced personally forced Song Xiangdong to believe that these elusive things were indeed real.
"So what should we do next? This black hole should have truly disappeared by now, correct?"
Song Xiangdong looked eagerly at Lin Beichen, hoping to get the real answer from him.
From what they could see, the black hole had indeed vanished in front of their eyes, but Lin Beichen could still clearly feel the black hole’s presence.
Obviously, this black hole had originally existed within Dragon Tiger Mountain, it just appeared before everyone due to some special reasons.
Lin Beichen initially didn’t intend to tell them that the black hole still existed, but upon careful consideration, he knew he couldn’t deceive the higher-ups, even if the truth was something they didn’t want to hear.
Because if he said the black hole had disappeared, but it reappeared shortly after, Lin Beichen could never explain it clearly, no matter how many explanations he gave.
Even if this incident could be considered an exception, it would still make Lin Beichen lose his credibility with the higher-ups, something he absolutely didn’t want to see happen.
After much hesitation, Lin Beichen decided to tell Song Xiangdong the truth.
"The black hole hasn’t appeared in front of you, but it still exists."
Hearing Lin Beichen’s words, Song Xiangdong’s smile instantly froze on his face, followed by a helpless sigh.
This was not the outcome he wanted to see, but he knew Lin Beichen would never deceive him on such matters.
"Actually, I think your worries may be a bit excessive."
Even though he had already revealed the truth, he still needed to reassure the other party.
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Beichen’s words, a hopeful expression returned to Song Xiangdong’s face.
Recently, every time the phone rang, Song Xiangdong couldn’t help but get nervous. At first, the higher-ups only called every two or three days.
Later, it was a call a day, until Lin Beichen entered the black hole. When the mirage and tremors at Dragon Tiger Mountain occurred, it became three calls a day, demanding updates on Lin Beichen and the black hole’s progress.
No matter how capable Song Xiangdong was, he didn’t know what to say after three calls a day. Now all he hoped for was to get some different results from Lin Beichen.
"In fact, this black hole has always been there, but it only appeared before you recently due to special reasons."

Everyone present was smart, and they instantly understood what Lin Beichen meant.
"So you’re saying this black hole has always existed within Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
This time, it wasn’t just Song Xiangdong, even Fu Daoyi’s voice trembled. He never expected this outcome.
If it were anyone else telling him this, he would slap them without hesitation. But Lin Beichen was the only one who had entered the black hole.
"But what exactly are these special reasons? Could it be because of you?"
Fu Daoyi said instinctively. But as soon as he said this, the room fell silent.
Song Xiangdong seemed to have realized something as well and waved at his subordinates.
They immediately turned and left. The task force members were definitely curious about the conversation content, but they knew what they should and shouldn’t know.
