Chapter 1522 Borderlands
Chen Mu's thinking is completely understandable.
After all, nobody wants someone else to suddenly appear in their bedroom while they're sleeping.
Or, to put it another way, there's always someone lurking in the shadows, watching you from a corner of your own home.
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
When Chen Mu asked him this question, the Time and Space Lord was also very clever and immediately understood Chen Mu's concerns.
The Lord of Time and Space quickly said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry. The arbitrary space I mentioned is not completely arbitrary. I call it arbitrary only as an exaggeration."
None of my men have ever teleported to your Wangjiang City, the territory of Wangjiang Guard, or your private territory.
This isn't me trying to comfort you; it's because my teleportation ability can only be used to exchange with a portion of space.
I call this part of the space 'no man's land'.
No man's land? Chen Mu pondered the words, and he could vaguely understand what they meant.
The Lord of Time and Space explained: "In my understanding, I divide the space in the world into two types."
One type of land is owned, and the other is unclaimed land.
The most common type of territory with an owner is a bizarre scene. These kinds of bizarre scenes are completely controlled by a boss.
There are also territories of large forces, where powerful individuals reside. Once someone reaches the level of a Ghost Lord, even if they don't understand space, they will silently develop a sense of 'territoriality' towards that space.
I cannot teleport into such occupied territory. Because that space belongs to another boss, and I cannot interact with it.
The other type is no man's land, which is a place that is not a strange scene and where there are no powerful people.
The space here is ethereal and indistinct. As the Ghost Lord who controls this space, I can completely influence it.
Therefore, the interviewers I send out are basically all to no man's land.
For example, your Wangjiang Watchtower, as well as several major cities within it, are all guarded by top-tier experts.
That space is entirely within your sphere of influence. I have absolutely no control over it, so you have nothing to worry about.
Hearing the explanation from the Lord of Time and Space, Chen Mu nodded.
That makes sense. If that were the case, the influence of the Time and Space Sovereign would probably have already penetrated into the Watchtower of the River.
Until recently, Chen Mu was completely unaware of this.
However, Xiaoye noticed a blind spot and asked, "If that's the case, how does your Underworld Post Office conduct interviews? How do you deliver newspapers?"
Many of the interview locations were related to Wangjiang Shouwang. According to your explanation, you can't teleport your subordinates to Wangjiang Shouwang, so how did you obtain reports about Wangjiang Shouwang?
Many of the newspaper subscribers were in bizarre scenarios, which were also occupied territories. How did you use teleportation to deliver the newspaper to occupied territory?
In response to Xiaoye's question, the Lord of Time and Space said, "Your questions are all very important."
First of all, interviewing Wangjiang Shouwang is actually very difficult. I can't just send the interviewee directly to Wangjiang Shouwang.
Therefore, for each interview, I would send them to the nearest no-man's-land.
As for how to get to Wangjiang, that's up to them to figure out. I heard from one of my men that he once hid on the roof of a train and sneaked into your Wangjiang City.
That train looks like it's from the Netherworld Railway Station.
As for interviewing in other eerie locations, we are not omnipotent. There are places that are already occupied and we simply cannot go there, so we will refuse the interview assignment.
However, we can actually visit many of the eerie scenes. This is related to subscribing to newspapers; you'll understand after I explain the second point.
Secondly, as you mentioned, how do I deliver the newspaper to a place with an owner, to readers in a bizarre setting?
In a territory with an owner, the BOSS or powerful beings within it can transfer their space.
They don't know the specifics of the transfer. But I will have them sign the terms and conditions.
To subscribe to the newspaper of [Underworld Post Office], you must sign a subscription agreement.
In an agreement with thousands of clauses, I would break down the right to transfer space into clauses such as Article 1, Article 234, and Article 934, and stuff them into the agreement.
It's virtually impossible to read through all thousands of clauses.
Most bosses will glance at the agreement and, if they see no major pitfalls, they will sign it.
Once they sign, control of the space will be transferred to me through the rules.
However, this method of inserting clauses only grants partial control, satisfying daily needs such as newspaper subscriptions, delivery, and payment.
Even in the bizarre scenario of signing the terms, I could send an interviewer to secretly conduct an interview. The interviewer's identity, as stated in the treaty, is 'a newspaper deliveryman'.
However, only one person can be sent at most, and their strength cannot exceed that of the leader of the guild.
If I were to include in the treaty that I could send hundreds of postmen, or even a postman of the level of a Ghost King, those bosses probably wouldn't be fools and wouldn't sign the treaty.
Therefore, these treaties have little impact on the safety and control of eerie scenarios. They only make things a little easier for our Underworld Post Office to conduct its business.
Your Wangjiang Watchtower doesn't currently subscribe to a newspaper. Therefore, I can't send my men directly to the watchtower; I can only sneak into the city by hitchhiking or walking.
But don't worry, Mr. Chen, my men are just interviewing people about normal life.
Regarding your military strength, the power of your elite warriors, and the coordinates of your giant cannons, I haven't included these details in the newspaper, nor have I mentioned them to any other bosses.
Chen Mu nodded, though he felt a sense of being spied on. However, it seemed that the Lord of Time and Space was still quite sensible.
As long as he doesn't pry into core secrets, Chen Mu doesn't care too much.
As for the true core, it's handled by the Lost Village Chief and Xiaoye, with the Tribunal overseeing it. Even if the Lord of Time and Space wanted to spy, with his few interviewers, he'd probably be discovered by the Tribunal before he even got a clue.
The Supreme of Time and Space felt that his secret interview with Wangjiang Shouwang was an offense to Boss Chen.
In order not to anger Boss Chen, the Lord of Time and Space cautiously said:
"Mr. Chen, in this bizarre apocalypse, there are some strange scenes, such as subscribing to newspapers and signing agreements."
How about this, I'll help you modify all those agreements to ensure that no more spatial vulnerabilities appear in this bizarre apocalypse.
Even if a powerful spatial ability expert wanted to sneak into the bizarre apocalypse, it would take a lot of effort.
I can even help you secretly leave a few loopholes. Those powerful outsiders, discovering these loopholes, will think they're just lucky and walk right into our trap.
Besides these, I have many other ways to help you enhance your space defenses.
After finishing speaking, the Lord of Time and Space cautiously looked at Boss Chen, observing his reaction.
