508: Unexpected Intruder

"Nikola, are you really sure that there is another layer of space beneath this Hell?"

A middle-aged man who looked quite serious, with not a trace of a smile on his face, was scanning his surroundings and frowning at Tesla beside him.

"I have already surveyed it many times, Alfred!"

Nikola Tesla chuckled, "While I may not be good at other things, these clever little gadgets are a piece of cake for me... Hmm, for example, this spatial measuring device in my hand can detect the existence of other Universe spaces on the same frequency. I must say, this space hidden beneath Hell is very hard to find, but it still didn't escape its detection!"

He was holding a spherical object that looked like an armillary sphere, except it had an extra red pointer on it, and the tip of the pointer was always pointing downwards.

"But even if we know of that space's existence, how are we supposed to get down there?"

The man named Alfred frowned slightly, "Also, what do you intend to do once you find that space? Is there anything inside worth us having to go there?"

Tesla laughed, "That space... hmm, through reading many materials about this world, I've learned that it should be the legendary Purgatory... There, there should be resources we cannot imagine... Hmm, and very abundant ones at that!"

Alfred said in a deep voice, "Then how do we get there?"

"Don't rush, my people have already started setting it up!"

Tesla pointed to the entrance of the Eighteen Levels of Hell and said, "According to their records, to enter Purgatory, one needs to completely pass the trials of the Eighteen Levels of Hell... In other words, you have to experience all the tortures of the Eighteen Levels of Hell once, and if your soul is strong enough, you can reach Purgatory directly! However, we don't need to worry about that at all. As long as my equipment is successfully set up, we can easily enter Purgatory to investigate!"

Alfred took a look and saw the subordinates in white work uniforms assembling something that looked like a gate, busy as could be. He turned to Tesla and said, "I must remind you, brother, your competitor Darwin has already started taking action. I think he should already know who is dealing with him in the shadows. I think if you have any plans, you should implement them as soon as possible, otherwise, you might trip up in the gutter!"

Tesla laughed, "Darwin is very scheming. Although his power of Law is strong, in terms of scientific research, he doesn't even come close to one ten-thousandth of you or me. You must know that the source of our power is closely related to our research. Except for those first two people, it can be said that the Law we master is related to our research direction. To improve our own power, we must desperately push our research within our own Domain to the extreme to push our power to its limit... He... Heh, he's just a man blinded by greed!"

Alfred curled his lips and said, "Even if he is a man blinded by greed, his strength cannot be underestimated. Furthermore, Newton is very close to him. Even if you and I join forces, we might not have the confidence to win completely if we face them head-on!"

"That's why we have to go to Purgatory, to find the opportunity for a Breakthrough!"

Tesla laughed, "Besides, you are the person closest to the Holy Dao. In the extreme environment of Purgatory, you will definitely have the chance to take that step!"

"Extreme environment? How do you know the environment there will be harsh?" Alfred frowned slightly.

"A guess!" Tesla laughed, "I don't know the specific situation of Purgatory, but the environment in Hell is already incomparably harsh. The even more terrifying environment of Purgatory can only be worse and more extreme than it, right?"

"That makes sense..." Alfred nodded and was about to ask something else when he saw a staff member who looked like a squad leader run over and say to Tesla, "Leader, the signal in Purgatory is extremely unstable. It seems someone has disrupted the magnetic field inside. I suspect someone has already entered Purgatory one step ahead of us!"

The originally extremely calm Tesla couldn't help but change his expression: "Are you sure?"

"Looking at the readings from the instrument, yes!" The man said in a deep voice, "Should we continue setting up the passage?"

"You continue with yours..." Tesla waved his hand and said, "Don't be affected by the external environment!"

"Yes... but I must remind you that once the magnetic field is chaotic, the probability of us entering Purgatory might change... You..."

Before he could finish, Tesla immediately waved his hand and said, "Do your own job, I will handle the follow-up matters!"

These words were spoken with absolute certainty, causing the man to be stunned for a moment, and then he went back to direct the work.

"It seems someone has beaten us to it!" Tesla said in a deep voice.

"Could it be Darwin and Newton's group?" Alfred frowned.

"No, they don't have that ability, and even if they had that capability, they wouldn't be able to find Purgatory!"

Tesla frowned tightly, "The Hell project was proposed by me to the Master. They don't know my relevant plans, so they can't find the entrance to Hell. Even if they came, they couldn't find Purgatory. One of them studies biology, and the other studies mechanics and celestial bodies; neither is an inventor. They don't have the ability to discover Purgatory!"

"Then who could have entered Purgatory a step ahead?" Alfred asked suspiciously.

"Hmm... We'll know once we check!"

As he spoke, Tesla suddenly took out a circular button that looked like a signal transmitter from his pocket and pressed it gently. Immediately, a gust of cold wind swept in, and a tall Yin Soldier wearing medium armor appeared before them. It looked like this guy was probably a leader.

"Have you seen anyone come to Hell from the human world?" Tesla asked in a deep voice.

The Yin Soldier grunted through his nose, then made sounds of unknown meaning. Alfred couldn't understand these words at all, but as Tesla listened, his expression changed more and more dramatically. After half an incense stick's time, with Tesla occasionally asking in the same language, the guy finally finished explaining with gestures and grunts. When he finished, Tesla's face finally sank, and he waved his hand to make the Yin Soldier disappear.

Before Alfred could ask, Tesla suddenly said in a low voice: "The person who entered Purgatory... is Tang Sanzang!"

Alfred's heart tightened: "Is it that Tang Sanzang the Master mentioned?"

"That's right, it's him!"

Tesla frowned slightly, "There are two other people accompanying him. Judging from their attire, one should be the legendary, famous Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of China, and the other is a bald, burly man, who should also be someone from the Buddhist sect!"

Alfred was silent for a moment: "Are we... still going to continue?"
