Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Fang Heng was transmigrated to a parallel world and his soul was forced into the body of a man who had just committed suicide. Huh? What? Every human here was being forced to join a game? Those who refused would be killed? Wait? This suicide dude was a pro gamer? He had the highest S-rank talent sill, the Zombie Clone? Damn! The S-rank skill evolved! My zombie clones could auto hu

1489 A Special Passage

"Due to various influences, the price of materials will fluctuate every day, but it won't fluctuate too much in the short term."

"Fang Heng, we can hand over the trade of materials to them. The price they offer is not the best, but working with them is definitely the most worry-free." Old Black patted Fang Heng's shoulder and nodded at Hector before asking, "I mentioned to you before about the tool for the world boundary coordinates. Is there any news?"

Hector replied with a nod, "Yes. The tools for the world boundary coordinates are scarce, and their prices are relatively high. You might need world boundary coordinates to enter other worlds."

"Our company provides two methods for players like you who are already bound to an existing world."

"The first method is to sell the world coordinates and the related missions. Currently, these coordinates are very limited. Once the transaction is completed, we will accompany you to complete the mission. After you complete the mission and obtain the coordinates, the transaction will be completed."

"The second method is more commonly used. We have developed a high-energy-density chip device that can create a passage that connects two worlds for teleportation. I am sorry that we cannot reveal too much of the specifics."

"It's extremely difficult to build such a passage, and it only allows single-person teleportation. There are many restrictions, but you can teleport once without the world coordinates. You can think of it as a stowaway. The effect duration of the teleportation is only three days, but using this method to teleport you will face more restrictions in that world."

When Fang Heng heard this, he immediately felt that the second method was not bad.

He didn't need to travel back and forth to Watts for a long time. He was only going there to complete a simple mission.

"The second method is not bad. When can we start?"

"The difficulty of the teleportation is very high. We need to make arrangements in advance. There may be accidents during the setting of the teleportation coordinates. The more difficult the game world is, the lower the success rate of teleportation. The time required to prepare is also longer, and the price is also higher."

Hector handed over a form to Fang Heng and said, "Due to the restrictions on the use of the special energy tool, this is the world where we are currently able to provide single-person teleportation services."

Fang Heng quickly glanced at it and his eyes lit up.

Watts!

Starfish Game Company provided more than 20 teleportation worlds, of which only three were advanced game worlds.

Watts was among them!

"I want to take a look at Watts. How long will it take for everything to be ready?"

"Watts huh…"

Hector nodded and said, "Yes, Watts is an advanced game world, but it's less dangerous than most intermediate game worlds. This is the standard of payment."

"It is worth noting that this method of entering the game world is a form of intrusion. The company will not provide protection for your safety, so you must be careful."

"It's okay. How long do you all need to prepare?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take three days."

Fang Heng checked the teleportation fee list and the ore resource price list.

After a rough estimate, he would be able to exchange a small portion of the ores for research and construction, and the rest of the resources he plundered from the barbarian realm for 50,000,000 points.

Starfish Company would convert the points into cosmic crystals of equivalent value, which was equivalent to 5 tons of cosmic crystals.

Most intermediate game worlds cost around 1,000,000 points to teleport, while advanced game worlds cost around 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 points. Only the advanced game world, Watts, cost 500,000 points.

Going to Watts was actually cheaper than going to an intermediate game.

Fang Heng muttered to himself, "It's quite cheap."

Old Black covered his forehead and said, "Cheap? This is a huge sum of money. However, it isn't easy to find a reliable company like Starfish Company. If you had more money, you can directly buy world boundary coordinates from them in the future. That would be safer."

"Yes."

It was true that he had made a huge profit from the barbarian realm this time because of Tang Mingyue's special identity. It would not be so easy to make money again in the future.

Originally, Fang Heng did not plan to act so quickly. Thanks to the special teleportation passage of the Starfish Company, he was ready to go to Watts to check out the situation.

Before that, he had three days to prepare.

In these three days, he could think of a way to go to the source of Punoze's shady line and see if he could escape from the shady line.

Apart from that, the main purpose of this trip to Watts was to complete the mission of transplanting the sacred tree and finding the S-level exotic plants and fauna. The second reason was to find the ritual clues that Viona had mentioned.

The prerequisite mission for transplanting the sacred tree required the use of natural science.

Fang Heng asked Old Black, "By the way, do you have any friends in Watts who study natural science?"

"Hmm? That world? No, I suggest you ask them for help."

Old Black pointed to the side of the mine where Hector was inspecting an ore, patted Fang Heng on the shoulder, and whispered, "You're a big client of Starfish Company now. They'll satisfy your small request if you spend a little money."

"Yes."

…

Three days later, at the source of the shady line, the bone-piercing cold continued to attack, and even Ji Xiaobo couldn't help but shiver.

Fang Heng had tested it before. He could still use the holy artifact to teleport to the spatial hub in this place.

Moreover, the fluctuations of the shady line and the great sword completely covered the fluctuations of the spatial energy. Using the space passage for a short period of time would not cause an excessive reaction from the outside world.

Hence, Ji Xiaobo used the teleportation passage to get here.

Of course, Ji Xiaobo was currently in the outermost area, and there was quite a distance between him and Fang Heng.

Fang Heng had thought that Ji Xiaobo, as one of the successors of the necromancy family, would have some foresight and provide him with some solutions to help him escape.

Unfortunately, he was thinking too much.

"Brother Fang, this scene…"

Ji Xiaobo was fully equipped, and the undead aura around him allowed him to stand in the middle of the undead leaders without being attacked.

However, when he saw the huge great sword in the middle of the hall, he looked as confused as Fang Heng and spat out three words.

"I don't know."

Like Fang Heng, Ji Xiaobo couldn't get close to the giant holy barrier.

Even Fang Heng could not pass through the barrier on the second floor.

It was worth mentioning that ever since he had secretly brought out his family's heirloom, Ji Xiaobo had been afraid of being scolded when he returned, so he had decided to stay in the Land of Plague with Fang Heng.

The Necromancer Association also didn't come looking for Ji Xiaobo.

Ji Xiaobo naturally didn't have the patience to stay in the Land of Plague and cooperate with Starfish Company and Tang Mingyue to deliver materials like Mo Jiawei.

As a result, he had become bored in the past two days and began to pester Fang Heng to discuss the grand plan to counterattack against the Holy Court. For this reason, he had even formulated a preliminary action plan.

1490 HIgh-tier

Fang Heng had also seen it.

It was very intuitive and direct.

Roughly speaking, it was divided into three steps.

Kill the Saintess.

Destroy the Holy Court headquarters

Destroy the holy realm.

"Brother Fang! What is this? Heavens! The leader of the undead Bones? You can already control commander-level creatures?!"

Ji Xiaobo looked around and suddenly saw something. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and shout in disbelief.

At this moment, the passion within Ji Xiaobo that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be suppressed anymore!

"Brother Fang! You're really my Brother Fang! You're too strong! You're the hope for the revival of necromancy!"

"You've been preparing for this day for a long time, right? Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely stand firmly by your side. We will start with Viona and give the Holy Court a big strike! Let them know who they are not supposed to mess around with…"

Fang Heng felt a headache when he heard that.

He thought that necromancy was still around, so what revival was he talking about?

Moreover, wasn't the goal of counterattacking the Holy Court a little too big for him now?

He had to think about how to escape from the Frost Hell first.

Fang Heng then roughly observed the situation in the cave.

For three whole days, nearly a hundred zombie clones were branding continuously. A total of eight giant elite undead Bones were successfully branded, and even one of the leaders of the Ice Bones was successfully branded.

In terms of combat strength, with their new addition, his combat strength had a breakthrough enhancement.

A BOSS commander-level creature in an intermediate game! This was no laughing matter!

However, even so, he was still trapped here and could not escape.

Ji Xiaobo couldn't help but look at Fang Heng who remained silent. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Fang, what do you think? As long as you give the order, I'm willing to be the vanguard and help you take down the Holy Court first…"

"Cough cough, let's put the Holy Court aside for now. Let's think about how to escape from the Frost Hell first."

Escape?

"Brother Fang, didn't you stay here on purpose? Do we still need to escape? After you pack up all the undead here and leave a spiritual brand on them, won't we be able to escape on our own?"

Fang Heng opened his mouth and looked at Ji Xiaobo, unable to refute him.

"That makes sense, but isn't the efficiency a little too slow?"

"Huh?"

Ji Xiaobo rubbed his chin as he looked around at a large number of elite undead Bones and their leaders. He couldn't help but nod in agreement, "Yes, the soul power of a commander-level undead Bones is very strong, and its level is much higher than yours. Theoretically speaking, the greater the difference between your abilities, the harder it will be to successfully do the spirit brand. Brother Fang, you're already an absolute genius to be able to complete the branding."

"But I can still think of a way."

Fang Heng was surprised and looked at Ji Xiaobo, "You can increase the success rate of branding?"

"Of course, we can think of a way to weaken these Bones leaders."

Ji Xiaobo rubbed his fists, looking eager to try. He said, "Brother Fang, this isn't easy to do. It'll take some time. Don't worry, leave it to me, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Hmm? What conditions?"

"After this is done, we'll give the Holy Court a vicious blow. I'll be the vanguard."

"Deal!"

Fang Heng agreed immediately.

With his current speed, he would not be able to brand all the Ice Bones here in a year.

If Ji Xiaobo had the ability to do it, his strength would increase greatly, so what if he went crazy with him?

"I'll be going to the advanced world later. I'll come back after three days. Can you handle it alone?"

Ji Xiaobo nodded, "Okay, don't worry, just wait and see!"

"Yes."

…

In the Zombie Apocalypse Teleportation Hall No. 2, a red pillar of light condensed in the center of the hall.

"Teleportation passage activated…"

"Activate."

"Connecting to the system."

"Use transmission guidance mode."

"Connecting to target."

"Chi!"

The light pillar emitted a high-frequency flickering light.

The senior partner of Starfish Company, Hector, looked at Fang Heng and nodded, "World Lord Fang Heng, the teleportation passage has begun to connect. We have arranged for a friend who is proficient in natural science to meet you at the other end of the passage. She will assist you on this journey."

"Also, it's worth noting that we will open a passage to help you return here in three days. Please don't delay, or you may be severely punished by the game and you will need to think of another way to return to the Zombie Apocalypse. Starfish Company will not be responsible for the loss caused by this."

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded.

This time, he was only going to the advanced game world to check out the situation.

His main goal was to collect S-level exotic flowers.

The second was to investigate and confirm if this world was related to the ritual on his body and to confirm that Viona was not lying to him.

Victor looked at the data displayed on the dashboard and said in a deep voice, "The energy of the teleportation passage is expanding at a high speed."

"Prepare to open the passage!"

"Activate the countdown! 3!"

"2!"

"1!"

The passage opened the moment the light beam bloomed.

Fang Heng stepped into the teleportation passage.

"Chi!!"

A dazzling light flashed.

A strong sense of dizziness came.

By the time Fang Heng regained his senses, he had already appeared on the other side of the teleportation passage.

The dazzling light in front of him gradually dissipated, and lines of game prompts appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has entered the advanced game world-Watts.]

[Hint: The player has used a special method to enter the advanced game world.]

[Hint: This method is the default intrusion mode.]

[Hint: The player may face hostility from the original survivors of some worlds.]

[Hint: In the current advanced game, the player is unable to use the survival radio to communicate remotely.]

[Hint: An abnormality has occurred. The current teleportation method can last up to 72 hours. After 72 hours, the player will be greatly weakened.]

The glaring red notification in front of Fang Heng's eyes gradually faded.

Looking around, he realized that he was in an abandoned unfinished building.

"Hi, how are you?"

Not far away, a young woman with long chestnut hair waved at Fang Heng.

She patted the hem of her dress, looking a little dissatisfied with this dirty environment.

"I'm Ruan Ziying. Starfish Company sent me to pick you up. In short, I'll try my best to cooperate with you for the next three days. At the end of the three days, I will also help you return to your world. Of course, cooperation is limited to low-risk operations. I'll give advice on operations that are higher than a certain risk."

Ruan Ziying gave a simple introduction and nodded at Fang Heng.

"Come with me. This place is really too dirty. I don't want to stay here for another minute."

"Alright."

Fang Heng agreed and left the building with Ruan Ziying.

1491 Natural Science

The car was parked outside the unfinished building.

Ruan Ziying nodded at the driver.

"Let's go."

The car sped away.

"He's a native of this world. Brother Chen, he's been with me for several years."

Ruan Ziying introduced the driver and asked, "Where are you going? If there are no arrangements, I can bring you to the nearest residence. This game world is relatively safe and there are not many rules. If you need personal space and want to move around by yourself, you can leave your contact information. If there are any problems, contact me at any time."

Ruan Ziying had heard some rumors about Fang Heng. In fact, she had always been in the advanced game world, so she was disdainful of most of the battles in the low-tier game world.

She did not know the extent of Fang Heng's ability to cause trouble.

In the past, in other game worlds, Fang Heng could turn a game world upside down in three days.

Ruan Ziying was not given any warning in advance. She only thought that this was a normal mission.

A long time ago, she met a few partners and became one of the partners of Starfish Company.

It was said that Fang Heng was a big client and needed a scholar who was proficient in natural science to cooperate with him, so she went there personally.

"Oh right, this is your phone. It's fully charged. My contact information is in it for easy communication. For safety reasons, there's a GPS system installed in it. If you are mindful of it, you can close the positioning."

"Yes…"

Fang Heng took the phone and fiddled with it.

A smartphone.

The technology level was about the level of an iPhone 5.

Fang Heng put away his phone and nodded and said, "I've mentioned it to Hector. I need a scholar who practices natural science."

"Yes, I am."

Ruan Ziying shook her long hair, and her actions carried a bit of confidence. She said, "Nice to meet you, I am Ruan Ziying, a grandmaster level naturalist. I'm currently at a bottleneck, and it's a bit difficult to break through. I've been waiting for an opportunity."

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ruan Ziying.

Grandmaster level!

That was so powerful!

A small number of academics had even higher tiers.

Transcendent level, demigod level, and God level.

Ruan Ziying had already cultivated to the highest level.

In fact, the master level was already enough to become a normal teacher.

Were all players of the advanced game this powerful?

He could just randomly find a player who was of grandmaster level?

Fang Heng didn't know that Ruan Ziying was a partner specially invited by Starfish Company. He was secretly surprised and his expression became more serious as he asked, "Can you show me?"

"Of course."

Ruan Ziying casually placed her hand in front of Fang Heng.

"Chi chi…"

Under the infusion of mental strength, a green life bloomed in Ruan Ziying's palm.

The plant grew out of thin air in Ruan Ziying's palm.

Fang Heng was surprised.

He looked at the green life that grew out of Ruan Ziying's palm. At the same time, a slowly rotating magic array appeared in his eyes.

A game notification appeared on his retina.

[Hint: You have observed the natural science spell. Through the omniscient eye, you have comprehended the foundation natural science. The player can choose whether to master it or not: foundation natural science.]

Mastered!

[Hint: The player has chosen to master: foundation natural science.]

[Warning: The player's natural science talent has been detected to be extremely low, and the player has mastered at least three different academic and bloodline skills. Forcefully learning will cause the skill learning progress to be too slow, and you will be punished by the additional increase in the difficulty of upgrading the existing academic and bloodline skills. Do you want to continue learning?]

Learn!

What was there to be afraid of? It could be farmed!

Fang Heng ignored the game warning and chose to learn.

[Hint: Player has successfully mastered foundation natural science.]

[Skill: Foundation natural science (Level 1).]

Type: Academic skill.

Tier: Level 1.

Description: Foundation perception 1.

Description: Foundation natural science is a prerequisite skill for all types of Nature spells.]

Description: Through foundation natural science, you can discover the natural energy existing in nature and have the most fundamental control over natural energy.

Description: You have sensed the nurturing of nature and life.

Description: This skill can be activated. When activated, you can easily sense the gathering of natural energy.

"How is it? Does this count as passing your test?"

Ruan Ziying smiled and withdrew her hand.

It required an extremely high level of skill for her to condense the surrounding life force and release it in her palm without relying on the power of the Book of Nature.

It was extremely difficult.

One needed to have at least a grandmaster level in natural science to do it.

This fancy move had almost no actual combat effect, but it was just to show off!

In the past, Ruan Ziying would often receive a lot of praise and admiration when she performed.

But this time, she didn't get it.

Instead, she saw a hint of seriousness on Fang Heng's face.

Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a long time. Finally, he raised his head and asked, "How do you cultivate the natural science?"

"Huh?"

This question stunned Ruan Ziying.

It was over.

She finally understood.

It turned out that Fang Heng was a layman who knew nothing about natural science.

He couldn't understand such a high-end operation!

Sigh, in the end, he still made the wrong payment.

Fang Heng thought that Ruan Ziying didn't understand, so he explained, "Yes, it's foundation natural science. How do you carry out level-up training?"

Ruan Ziying sized Fang Heng up.

"Have you ever learned about natural science before?"

Fang Heng nodded.

"Yes, foundation natural science. I just learned it."

There were slight differences in the experience points gained from the three academic bloodlines of necromancy, holy theology, and the vampires.

Since he had Ruan Ziying, a naturalist scholar at the grandmaster level, Fang Heng could directly ask her for advice.

Hearing this, Ruan Ziying revealed a look of understanding.

She had never expected that the 'just now' that Fang Heng mentioned was only a few minutes ago.

"Alright, the way to level up natural science that is below the advanced level is relatively simple. For beginners, after learning the activation skill, close your eyes and concentrate. When you open your eyes again, observe carefully."

"Yes, alright."

Fang Heng nodded and switched to the natural science state. He closed his eyes and focused on releasing his natural science before opening his eyes again.

"How is it? Do you see the natural energy lingering in the air? Green dots of light."

Fang Heng looked confused.

Everything was normal.

He could not see anything at all.

"No, I haven't."

Ruan Ziying thought that Fang Heng's natural talent was also relatively low, so it was difficult for him to sense the natural energy, and his subsequent cultivation was also very natural.

Since he was a client, Ruan Ziying changed her way of speaking.

"It's normal that you can't see it. In the early stages of learning the skill, you can sense very little natural energy. I suggest you go to a place with more plants to try."

"After you observe the natural energy, you need to try to control these energy spots. In the beginning, start from the fundamental control of energy and pour it into ordinary flowers and trees. When you reached the advanced level, then you can slowly level up. "

"After completing the infusion, you can obtain natural science experience points. In the beginning, it is more difficult to control the natural energy, and it is also very difficult to sense the natural energy. This is related to natural talent. Just spend more time practicing, and eventually, man will conquer nature, and hard work can make up for one's weakness."

So that was the case.

"Thank you. I've remembered everything."

Fang Heng secretly noted down the key points in his head. He looked at the night sky outside the window and said, "It's a little late. I want to find a quiet place to rest for the next few days. I hope it's spacious. It's best if it's suitable for me to study natural science."

He was thinking of a quiet and spacious place that was suitable for holding the zombie clones, as well as cultivating natural science.

"You want to learn natural science? Here?"

Ruan Ziying was even more confused.

Natural science could be learned anywhere. Why did he have to spend so much effort to come to the advanced game world to learn?

Was it to increase the difficulty for himself?

Was there such a need?

Fang Heng saw Ruan Ziying's hesitation and asked, "Is it very difficult?"

"No problem. You're our customer. We'll try our best to satisfy your requests."

Ruan Ziying had not realized the seriousness of the matter.

She had received many clients before, and there were many who had more troublesome problems than Fang Heng.

At the very least, Fang Heng's current requests could be resolved with money.

As long as it could be solved with money, it would not be a problem!

"It just so happens that I have a manor in the suburbs. It's abandoned and no one lives there. Usually, no one will disturb me. A master of natural science used to live there too. Cultivating in the house can also give you a little bonus. You can stay there, how about it?"

"Good!"

Ruan Ziying waved at the driver and said, "Brother Liu, go to the manor in Lin County."

A hint of doubt flashed across the driver's eyes as he stepped on the accelerator and turned into the small road leading out of the city.

There were fewer people in the suburbs, so it was easier for the zombie clones to move around. There was also the added bonus of learning natural science. It seemed to be a pretty good place.

Fang Heng was very satisfied with Ruan Ziying's arrangement.

"So…"

This question made Ruan Ziying slightly stunned. She nodded and said, "Yes, it has been many years."

Ruan Ziying sighed in her heart as she replied, "The advanced game world is sometimes more like the real world. I've stayed in the game longer than the outside world. After a long time, sometimes I can't tell if it's a game or reality."

Fang Heng looked out of the window and asked, "I heard that this world is very safe?"

"Safety is relative."

"Hmm?"

Fang Heng turned his gaze to Ruan Ziying, feeling that she seemed to have a hidden meaning behind her words.

"It's probably the so-called 'those who don't know are fearless.' Ordinary people can't see, can't touch, and won't go near danger. To them, this place is a paradise."

"What about you?"

"I've seen many dangers. In short, if you don't touch the taboo, you won't encounter any danger."

"Taboo? What is it?"

Ruan Ziying put her finger in front of her mouth and made a gesture to silence him.

Fang Heng frowned, then shrugged and asked, "Alright, have you heard of any strange rituals?"

"Ritual?"

Ruan Ziying frowned and thought for a while and said, "I don't have any impression of it. This world is very similar to the world we live in. There are also some strange stories and things like that. You can look them up online. By the way, I have a friend who works in a newspaper office. I can help you find out."

"Thank you, in addition to this, I also want to find some precious plants to bring back. The rating needs to be S-level or above."

"Is it related to the mission?"

"Yes."

Ruan Ziying finally understood the purpose of Fang Heng's visit.

So it was for a mission.

"S-level plants are more difficult. I'll go back and contact a few of my friends. There should be some clues."

An hour later, the car stopped in front of a large manor. The manor was built at the end of the path and had a large garden.

The main building of the manor was located in the depths of the garden. More than half of the building was covered with vines.

It seemed that there were very few people who came here usually.

"We're here. This is the key to the main gate."

"Thank you."

Fang Heng took the copper key from Ruan Ziying and weighed it in his hand. He got out of the car and looked at the building in front of him again.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Very good. There's no need to send me off. I can go in myself."

Ruan Ziying didn't insist. She stuck her head out of the window and asked, "I'll ask a few friends about plants later. How about I pick you up at 10 am tomorrow morning?"

"Alright."

"Right."

Ruan Ziying reached out to stop Fang Heng, who was walking toward the manor.

"Hmm?"

"One more thing, there's an organization called the Occult Investigation Joint Committee in this world. In short, it's best not to get into conflict with them. If you encounter any problems, call me immediately."

"Yes, alright."

Fang Heng nodded to indicate that he would take note of it and waved his hand at the car.

The car turned around and slowly drove away along the path.

Ruan Ziying couldn't help but stare at Fang Heng for a moment.

A strange guest.

The driver, Uncle Liu, moved his lips and asked, "Xiao Ruan, is it okay to leave him there alone?"

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Abandoned manor in the suburbs?

In fact, it was the residence of one of the natural science teachers, Edoma Cervantes, after his old age.

It was said that Edoma had once written the monumental work of natural science, "General Theory of Nature".

After hundreds of years, the manor passed through several owners. In the end, it was bought by Ruan Ziying at a high price.

After getting the manor, Ruan Ziying thoroughly searched the manor several times and even lived there for half a year.

In the end, she didn't find anything!

It was just that the special structure of the house had a little bonus to the study of natural science below the intermediate level.

Ruan Ziying was convinced that this was just an ordinary manor.

Letting Fang Heng stay temporarily was already a waste.

…

Fang Heng estimated that the trip to Watts would only take three days, so he did not bring any luggage.

After entering the manor, he first entered a garden.

Although it was an abandoned manor in the suburbs, it could be seen that someone cleaned it often.

In the garden, the stone paths leading to the entrance of the manor were very clean.

The cultivation of natural science required one to sense natural energy.

Fang Heng could hardly feel this natural energy in the car.

Now, the large garden in front of the manor was filled with plants.

That should be enough, right?

Fang Heng was not in a hurry to enter the manor. He first walked to the center of the garden and scanned the area.

He could give it a try.

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes again, focused, and activated natural science.

He opened his eyes again and Fang Heng finally saw the so-called natural energy.

At a glance, there were about thirty soft bright green lights scattered among the flowers in the manor's garden.

The light was very dim, and there were very few of them.

1493 The Test

"Next is control…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself as he took a few steps forward, trying his best to control the green energy and infuse it into the nearest plants.

Perhaps due to his high mental strength attribute, the difficulty of controlling it was still acceptable.

The lustrous green natural energy quickly merged into the thicket.

"Chi chi chi…"

Under the effect of the green energy specks, the vitality of the plants seemed to be a little more vigorous.

The game hint appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player used foundation natural science to stimulate the growth of the plants. The player has obtained foundation natural science experience points 2, the player's natural science talent 0.00001.]

Success!

After confirming the game hint, Fang Heng could not help but clench his fists.

By infusing natural energy, one could naturally learn talent!

This was a sure win!

In the future, he could borrow the power of the zombie clones to obtain a large number of natural science talent abilities!

However, this seemingly peaceful world was still unclear, and using zombie clones in the garden was a little ostentatious.

Fang Heng retracted his gaze and prepared to go into the manor to take a look. He wanted to think of a way to gain experience inside the manor.

As he thought about it, Fang Heng walked along the stone path to the main entrance of the manor and took out his key to open the door.

He opened the door and saw a spacious hall.

Very good, very spacious.

The manor was very big and could accommodate many zombie clones.

As he thought about it, Fang Heng glanced at the game log again to confirm the time when the zombie clones would be resurrected.

Stepping into the room, the game hint appeared on his retina again.

[Hint: The player entered a special environment. Cultivating natural science (intermediate and below) in this environment can obtain an additional 10% increase in skill experience points.]

"Special environment…"

The entire hall was filled with a faint refreshing fragrance.

The death aura of the undead element and the life force of the natural element was also part of the conflict.

Fang Heng was more sensitive about this.

He immediately shifted his gaze to the edge of the hall.

On the wall, a few vines were scattered like decorations.

Perhaps they were the source of the refreshing smell?

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there were similar plants on the walls of most parts of the manor.

Curious, Fang Heng focused his attention on the climbing vines. He tried to walk forward and reach out to touch it.

The relevant information appeared on his retina.

[Hint (Triggered by foundation natural science): The player has discovered a special plant-unknown climbing vine.]

[Hint: A special plant that has fused with the gecko climbing vine, it has fused with the ability to clean the air and purify dust. It can emit strong natural energy.]

[Hint: The player can upgrade natural science to obtain more information about living creatures.]

It seemed that the manor's increased effect on the study of natural science was related to climbing vines.

This was not bad.

With the vines, the zombie clones could practice nature science cultivation in the manor.

Fang Heng closed his eyes and tried to sense the natural energy in the manor again.

A moment later, Fang Heng opened his eyes again.

There it was!

This time, he saw that there were about a dozen balls of natural energy in the hall. In terms of density, it was even more than the garden outside.

Fang Heng focused his attention and tried his best to control the wandering energy to move and inject it into the climbing vines, earning a little bit of foundation natural science skill experience points, and natural science talent.

[Hint: The player used foundation natural science to stimulate the growth of unknown plants. The player has obtained foundation natural science experience points 2. The player's natural science talent 0.00001.]

Everything was as usual.

After absorbing the natural energy, the climbing vines became even brighter.

Very good, the test was successful.

Fang Heng continued to ponder.

It was fine for him to cultivate alone, but if a large number of zombie clones were to farm at the same time, there would be a problem.

There wasn't a lot of natural energy in the manor, and it wouldn't be enough for the hundreds of zombies.

This way, the efficiency of farming skills and experience would be greatly limited.

It would be too ostentatious to let the zombie clones go out to search for natural energy. If they were not careful, they would offend the local forces of the advanced game world.

It was better to be safe.

"I have to think of a solution."

Eh?

Just as he was muttering to himself, Fang Heng noticed something strange again.

The vines that had absorbed the natural energy earlier emitted a faint light again.

A glowing ball of light appeared around the vine.

Natural energy?

Did it spit it out again?

This plant was so strange!

Natural energy was a special type of energy that had multiple effects such as growth and healing.

Previously, the plants in the manor were filled with more vitality after absorbing the natural energy. However, this strange climbing vine plant seemed to only absorb the natural energy for a while, and then it quickly regenerated new natural energy.

Fang Heng tried to comprehend it.

The two types of natural energy seemed to be exactly the same.

No difference?

"This…"

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He tried to infuse the natural energy into the climbing vines again.

Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, the natural energy was spat out by the vines again.

Alright!

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

Wasn't this a perfect leveling cycle?

In this way, as long as he used the zombie clones to capture a large amount of natural energy from the outside world, and then continuously circulate the natural energy to the vines, wouldn't he be able to have a complete hacking cycle?

He would try it out!

…

More than two hours passed. Fang Heng, who was controlling the energy ball, opened his eyes.

Coming!

Under his feet, alchemy magic arrays appeared.

The zombie clones staggered out of the magic arrays. They dragged their heavy bodies and stood in a row behind Fang Heng.

Fang Heng rubbed his cheeks with both hands to cheer himself up.

"Let's begin!"

He wanted to test if his zombie clones could level up using natural science.

The two zombie clones swayed under Fang Heng's control and walked forward, taking the lead in front of the vines.

Green natural energy gathered in front of the zombie clones, then slowly poured into the vines.

[Hint: The player's zombie clone has used foundation natural science to stimulate the growth of unknown plants. The player has obtained foundation natural science experience points 2. The player's natural science talent 0.00001.]

Success!

Although the zombie clones moved much slower than his main body, and they looked unstable, as if they were going to fail, in the end, it was still a success!

As long as he could succeed, his leveling efficiency would only get faster and faster as his natural science talent gradually increased!

The first step was the zombie test! Passed!

The test confirmed that the zombie clones could farm experience points through hacking.

Fang Heng was excited.

Next was the second step.

Testing the feasibility of mass hacking.

Fang Heng controlled another five zombie clones to walk up. The five zombie clones lined up in a row and began to circulate natural energy into the vines on the wall of the hall.

1494 The Weird Climbing Vines

The test lasted for a full ten minutes.

He had succeeded 94 times and failed 108 times. The success rate was about 50%.

Seeing that he could manage by hacking, Fang Heng gave a satisfied nod.

Very good, the second step of the test was a success.

Then came the third step.

Expand production capacity!

Fang Heng immediately left five zombies to circulate the natural energy to level up. He controlled the remaining zombie clones to scatter around the manor to search for natural energy and collect all the natural energy in the hall.

Fang Heng stood still in the room, and the game hints began to refresh slowly.

[Hint: Your zombie clone entered the second basement and is searching.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone entered the second floor.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has discovered natural energy.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone is trying to move natural energy…]

[Hint: The player's zombie clone used foundation natural science to stimulate the growth of unknown plants. The player has obtained foundation natural science experience points 2. The player's natural science talent 0.00001.]

[Hint: The player's zombie clone…]

[Hint: The player's foundation natural science level has increased to Level 2.]

Thirty minutes later, the zombie clones filled the entire manor area. The 70 to 80 zombie clones were allocated natural energy, and they were fighting against the climbing vines on the wall to gain experience points.

There was still a huge shortage of natural energy. The zombie clones had not been fully converted into production power. A large number of zombie clones were idle and piled up in the manor.

It was far from the theoretical maximum efficiency of farming experience!

In addition, in a few hours, the zombie clones would complete their first self-reproduction, and the speed at which they gained experience points would be doubled!

In order to increase efficiency, he could only take a little risk to capture natural energy outside the manor and then transfer the energy back to the manor for storage.

The little natural energy in the manor garden was obviously not enough.

Fang Heng rubbed his palms.

He had to expand the area and go outside to search!

Fang Heng pushed open the door of the manor.

Under the moonlight, the zombie clones began to move. They followed Fang Heng and left through the manor's hall. They started to farm the natural energy in the manor.

Grind all night!

In an ideal situation, as long as he could collect more natural energy, at this rate, it was likely that he would be able to break through the elementary level of natural science in half a night and advance to the intermediate level of natural science.

The omniscient eye could directly comprehend high-level spells and below. It was really convenient!

….

[Hint: Your foundation natural science has been upgraded to Level 10.]

[Hint: Your skill, the omniscient eye, has been activated. Your foundation natural science has successfully advanced to elementary natural science.]

Two hours later, Fang Heng opened his eyes again.

After advancing to elementary natural science, apart from being able to use some elementary natural science spells, each level would increase the perception attribute by 0.3 points.

Not bad.

However, the experience points required to level up an elementary skill increased by 100 times.

Due to the large number of zombie clones, they had been scattered in various rooms of the manor.

Earlier, Fang Heng had brought his zombie clones out of the manor and absorbed all the natural energy in the area.

It was still not enough. There was still a significant shortage! If he wanted to collect more, he could only leave the manor.

As this world was still full of unknown, Fang Heng had never left the manor.

If he wanted to increase his efficiency, he could only break through the bottom line and run out of the manor to take a look.

In order to avoid more trouble, Fang Heng decided to be cautious and bring fewer zombie clones with him. After all, fewer people meant fewer targets, and it would be easier to control small numbers as opposed to larger numbers.

Under the moonlight, Fang Heng led his fifty zombie clones out of the manor and into the suburbs.

The natural energy in the outside world was much rarer than Fang Heng had expected, and he often needed to search more carefully.

It was better than nothing.

Fang Heng spent more than half an hour walking around the manor with his zombie clones. During this time, he had to be careful not to be discovered by outsiders. Only when they were about to reach the main road in the suburbs did Fang Heng return to the manor with the newly collected thirty or so clusters of natural energy.

"Eh? Something's not right…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself as he returned to the hall, his brows tightly knitted.

Why wasn't the zombie clones' leveling efficiency as high as expected?

In theory, the more natural energy they collected from the outside world, the more efficient the zombie clones should be in leveling up. With more than 30 balls of natural energy, shouldn't the efficiency increase significantly?

Fang Heng checked the game hint carefully and felt even more baffled.

Strange, it was actually because of the loss of natural energy?

In fact, there was a strange structure in the entire room that could prevent natural energy from leaking out.

If it was not controlled by external forces, natural energy would not run amok most of the time.

Logically speaking, if he kept pouring natural energy into the manor, the amount of natural energy in the manor should be increasing.

Why was the natural energy gradually decreasing?

Could it have been swallowed by the climbing vines?

That was possible.

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and felt that he had found the answer.

In any case, it was only slightly lower than before. The climbing vines did not absorb much natural energy.

He just had to go out a few more times to make up for his losses.

It was just more troublesome.

While thinking, Fang Heng continued to lead the next batch of over a hundred zombie clones out of the manor to collect the natural energy.

He went back and forth twice.

Every time Fang Heng went out, he would explore and collect natural energy in a different direction.

When he returned to the manor for the third time, Fang Heng could not help but frown.

It was too strange!

After going back and forth three times in a row, there was not much change in the efficiency of the skill's experience point increase.

The zombie clones' farming efficiency seemed to have reached a stable point.

It gave him the feeling that the entire manor was like a funnel. The funnel was already full, and no matter how much natural energy was added, it would slowly dissipate.

But this manor was not a funnel!

There was no way to say that it was full or not.

What was going on?

Could it be that there was a problem with his automatic leveling layout?

He had to find the problem and fix the loophole.

Fang Heng couldn't help but pay attention to the problem, and with a serious expression, he returned to his room.

He closed his eyes again and focused. He switched to the natural science state and sensed the natural energy around him.

After his natural science advanced to the elementary level, his perception of natural energy became much clearer.

After careful observation, he realized that the natural energy in the manor was indeed different.

The purity of the natural energy seemed to be higher than the natural energy in the outside world.

Comparing it to the natural energy that he had just brought in from the outside, Fang Heng had another epiphany.

Oh right.

It could be due to the effect of the climbing vines!

The climbing vines had a purifying effect.

1495 Pull out

After the zombie clones repeatedly injected the energy into the climbing vines, the natural energy was purified again and again.

Fang Heng then tested the effect of the purified natural energy.

After being purified, the effect of the natural energy was slightly better than normal energy.

In general, there were still no major changes.

So purification was related to the loss of natural energy?

Fang Heng frowned and stopped using perception, leaving the zombie clones to continue leveling up and gaining experience. He began to search carefully along every wall of the manor alone, looking for where the natural energy had decreased.

He checked the place area by area, starting from the hall to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the basement.

He found it!

After spending a full hour, Fang Heng finally made a discovery.

At the end of the corridor outside the second basement, a small amount of natural energy was constantly leaking out from the end of the corridor.

It was very strange.

Most of the areas in the manor were covered with climbing vines, but this wall was clean and empty.

What was even stranger was that only the natural energy that had been purified hundreds of times would leak out of the exit without leaving a trace.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin. His first reaction was to block the exit.

However, he soon felt that something was wrong.

The natural energy seemed to have been attracted by it. Moreover, the force of attraction was extremely small. It seemed to be related to the concentration of the natural aura in the entire house.

The higher the concentration, the faster the wall absorbed it. When it reached a certain balance, the wall would stop absorbing.

If he had not been standing there and observing carefully, and the entire room was filled with natural energy due to leveling up, the concentration would have reached a certain level. The wall would most likely not have triggered the absorption effect, and he would not have noticed the abnormality in the wall at all.

"Could it be that there's something hidden inside?"

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

He couldn't help but think of what Ruan Ziying had mentioned to him before.

There used to be a natural science researcher living in this manor.

It was possible!

Fang Heng had some guesses in his heart. He took half a step back, raised his fist, and punched the wall in front of him.

"Boom!!"

His fist heavily struck the solid wall!

The wall let out a crashing sound and trembled slightly. Several cracks and a fist print appeared.

If there were outsiders present at this time, they would definitely think that Fang Heng was crazy.

That was Edoma Cervantes!

The master who wrote the monumental work of natural science, "General Theory of Nature"!

Was her house going to be forcefully demolished like this?

Fang Heng did not know about this. He looked at the wall and felt even more puzzled.

From the feedback of this punch, the wall was definitely solid.

He did not have much hope of finding any treasures behind the wall. He only wanted to snatch back the overflowing natural energy and not interfere him from leveling up.

He had gone out to collect energy at night at the risk of smearing his reputation, but in the end, he had a rice worm at home.

Let's see what's inside!

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and slowly retreated. He pointed at the wall.

Behind them, the zombie clones obeyed Fang Heng's orders and took out their hammers and shovels one by one.

"Dig!"

"Dong! Thump thump!!"

Late at night, the house was filled with the sound of banging and digging.

Soon, the zombie clones dug a hole in the wall.

Continue!

Fang Heng sensed the loss of natural energy, then controlled the zombie clones to continue digging deeper.

"Boom!!!"

After digging out a tunnel that was more than five meters long behind the wall, the wall in front of them collapsed with a bang.

What was that?

A hidden room?

Fang Heng followed the excavated tunnel into the room hidden behind the wall. He frowned.

It was a large room that was about a hundred square meters. There was a large piece of mud under his feet. A tree was planted in the middle of the room. The tree wasn't very tall, and its leaves were streaked with light purple stripes. It was only a little over three meters tall, but it was extremely thick. It seemed that it would take more than 30 people to surround it and hug it.

Remnants of the magic array could be seen on the broken wall.

It seemed that the natural energy was only absorbed here after going through the effect of the magic array.

So, that tree?

Fang Heng couldn't help but walk forward and carefully observe the tree in the center.

"This is it?"

The tree was constantly absorbing pure natural energy that was pouring in from the outside.

Since he had found the source, it was simple. He might as well destroy it directly. At that time, he could complete the closed-loop leveling.

Wait a minute!

Fang Heng was about to make a move when his heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that this thing was the S-level plant he was looking for?

Fang Heng thought about it and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Probably not.

Mo Jiawei didn't come along this time. He wasn't that lucky.

He still had to try.

What if?

Fang Heng reached out his hand and tried to press it on the plant.

A game notification appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has discovered an unknown plant.]

[Hint: Please try to increase your natural science level to obtain more information about plants.]

[Hint: The player has mastered basic occult and elementary natural science. The player has met the initial requirements for 'absorption'.]

[Hint: The player can choose to absorb the natural energy in the unknown tree as a skill-elementary natural science experience point.]

[Hint: Due to the influence of your current physique, attributes, status, skills, etc., the estimated conversion rate is about 1800:1.]

Eh?!

Absorbing energy?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat when he saw the game notification.

There was such a good thing?

Absorb!

Fang Heng immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it against the tree trunk.

"Chi chi…"

The natural energy was converted by the unknown tree and absorbed by Fang Heng.

He immediately felt a life force flowing into his body through his palm.

[Hint: You have absorbed purified natural energy. Your natural science skill experience points 503.]

[Hint: You have absorbed…]

A series of game notifications began to pop up on Fang Heng's retina.

So many?

There was hope!

Fang Heng's face lit up.

"You stole my energy, now spit it out ten times or a hundred times!"

Fang Heng instantly felt that he had not lost out this time!

It was too slow for him to absorb the energy alone. He hurriedly called the zombie clones in the manor over and began to absorb the energy around the tree.

About forty zombie clones squeezed together and surrounded the tree. They pressed their palms on the tree trunk to absorb the energy.

The game notification quickly refreshed on Fang Heng's retina again.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has absorbed the purified natural energy. Your natural skill experience points 503…]

[Hint: Your elementary natural science level has been raised to Level 2..]

Instantly, the speed of the experience point absorption increased by more than 40 times and his experience points increased rapidly!

It was a sure thing!

Directly absorbing energy from the tree could not increase one's natural talent, but it could help to level up quickly!

It was more than a hundred times more efficient than before!

Fang Heng watched as his experience point channeling bar surged forward, heading straight for the intermediate natural science level!

There was something!

The whole tree was filled with an unknown amount of natural energy, yet it was able to withstand so many zombie clones!

1496 Saving up

[Hint: Your zombie clone has absorbed the natural energy. Your natural science skill experience points 423.]

[Hint: Due to your talent-the omniscient eye, your natural science skill has been upgraded to the intermediate level.]

[Hint: You have successfully advanced to intermediate natural science. Your original skill has been forgotten.]

[Hint: You have mastered the intermediate natural science skill.]

Skill: Intermediate natural science (Level 1).

Skill description: Natural science advanced skill. Through this skill, you can better sense the natural energy, and use and control part of the natural science skill.

Skill description: Each time the skill is upgraded, it will increase the perception by 1 point.

Skill description: This skill can be upgraded to a maximum of Level 25.

After absorbing energy for more than half an hour, Fang Heng's skill level increased to the intermediate level. He could not help but look at the big tree in the middle of the room.

The speed of gaining experience points began to gradually decrease.

The natural energy released by the tree slowed down rapidly.

Was it sucked dry?

Fang Heng frowned.

"Sha sha sha…"

Hmm? What was going on?

The big tree in front of him made a swooshing sound, and the purple leaves began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not good!

It's just to get some wool, don't kill the sheep!

Fang Heng quickly controlled the zombie clones to stop absorbing from the tree and retreat.

Although the probability was not high, there was a possibility that this tree was an S-level plant. He might have to rely on it to complete the mission.

Fang Heng had originally planned to ask Ruan Ziying about her situation when she came over tomorrow.

Don't die!

However, even though the zombie clones stopped extracting the energy from the tree, the tree continued to wither.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He could sense that something was accumulating power.

A force was hidden under the tree.

Power?

Fang Heng tried to sense it, but he felt that the power was extremely unstable.

It was dangerous!

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

Swoosh! Swoosh!!

The magic array spun rapidly under Fang Heng's feet. Light green plants sprang out from the magic array and quickly enveloped Fang Heng.

"Boom!!!"

The moment before the explosion, Fang Heng was dragged into the magic array by the plant and disappeared.

….

Three in the morning.

Her phone rang.

Ruan Ziying suddenly sat up from the bed and grabbed the emergency contact number on the table.

In the middle of the night.

Something must have happened!

"Hello? What? What did you say? Exploded?"

Ruan Ziying heard the message from the other end of the phone and rubbed her eyes, her face confused.

Her big manor exploded?

How did it explode?

Oh no!

Fang Heng!

Ruan Ziying was stunned for a while, then she shouted into the phone as if she had just woken up from a dream, "Where's Fang Heng? Is he alright?"

Fang Heng was a big client of Starfish Company. She was still counting on Fang Heng for her KPI.

Nothing must happen to him!

"Alright, I understand. I'll be right there."

Ruan Ziying logged into the game and rushed to the police station.

At this moment, Fang Heng was being investigated by the Occult Investigation Joint Committee.

"Exploded?"

The experienced old policeman tilted his head and scribbled in his notebook. He questioned, "So, before the explosion, you were cultivating natural science? When did you sneak in?"

"I'll say it again, I didn't sneak in. The owner of the house lent it to me temporarily."

"Hmm, there was nothing unusual before the explosion? There aren't any small anomalies?"

"No, I was cultivating natural science in my room at night when I suddenly felt a powerful fluctuation of energy. It was very unstable. I felt that something was wrong, so for safety reasons, I left the villa."

The newcomer next to the old policeman carefully recorded every word Fang Heng said.

Judging from the traces left behind at the scene, the explosion was not simple. There was an extremely high level of occultism reaction.

The violent explosion even shook the city.

The Occultism Investigation Committee rushed to the scene immediately and began an investigation overnight.

The first batch of police officers who rushed to the scene found Fang Heng acting suspiciously at the scene.

It was such a huge explosion, yet Fang Heng's body did not show any signs of injury. This made the people doubtful of his words.

Fang Heng was also stunned at first.

When he went online again, he saw the manorthat had been completely destroyed and the police rushing over from all directions.

After that, he was brought to the police station for investigation.

Initially, Fang Heng wanted to escape. Unfortunately, the police seemed to have locked onto him immediately.

Fang Heng thought that he had indeed not done anything wrong in this world. If he ran away, he would feel guilty.

Hence, he decided to follow the police back to assist in the investigation.

However, the investigator had asked the questions several times to fish out all kinds of details, making Fang Heng wonder if the other party was trying to bombard him until he became exhausted.

"Dong dong dong…"

Someone knocked on the door of the interrogation room.

"Sir!"

The two interrogators stood up and greeted the person who had come.

Shan Fucai had a mustache and a Mediterranean hairstyle. His serious face looked a little interesting.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. This suspect is related to the incident. I need to take him away first. The 7th Division will follow up on this matter and investigate. The file will be transferred tomorrow."

"Yes, sir!"

Shan Fucai pouted at Fang Heng and said, "Let's go."

…

After leaving the interrogation room, Shan Fucai lowered his voice and whispered to Fang Heng, "I'm Shan Fucai. I'll bring you to see Ruan Ziying later. No matter what happens, don't say anything."

Fang Heng's heart moved.

Finally, reinforcements!

They didn't talk on the way back. Shan Fucai brought Fang Heng to the reference room, took a few documents, signed some files, and left the investigation department.

Fang Heng followed Shan Fucai into a black official car parked outside the Investigation Bureau.

Ruan Ziying sat in the back seat, rolled down the window, and raised her hand at Fang Heng.

"Are you alright? You didn't get into a conflict with them, did you?"

Fang Heng gave a shrug and said, "No, you said it yourself. Try not to have any conflicts."

"Phew, that's good."

Ruan Ziying patted her chest and looked relieved.

Shan Fucai sat back in the driver's seat, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and threw it out through the open window. He asked, "There's no outsider here. Tell me, what's going on?"

Fang Heng thought, "I don't know either."

Why did it explode?

He looked at Ruan Ziying, who was sitting next to him.

"Let me introduce you. This is Shan Fucai, a special investigator of the Occult Investigation Joint Committee. He has the authority to investigate on his own. He's a native and also my superior. He can be trusted."

Huh?

Fang Heng looked at Ruan Ziying.

What did she mean by superior?

Ruan Ziying coughed and explained, "I'm his secret agent."

Secret agent?

Understood. A mole, right?

Why was it like a spy movie?

Fang Heng felt even stranger.

1497 Fishing People out

Shan Fucai opened the folder he had just received and began to flip through it. He then said, "In the ruins of the manor in the suburbs, we found an energy reaction higher than A-level. Our 7th Division has already taken over this matter and investigated it in detail, so tell me, what exactly happened?"

Seeing Ruan Ziying nod at him, Fang Heng roughly explained.

"I discovered an anomaly in natural energy fluctuation during my cultivation. I followed the source of the fluctuation to a wall, and behind the wall, I found a hidden room. Then, I found a tree inside."

Shan Fucai and Ruan Ziying looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

It was not because of the tree, but because of Fang Heng!

Shan Fucai looked at Fang Heng with a sharp gaze.

Who was this guy?

Shan Fucai knew that Ruan Ziying had bought a manor. Due to Edoma Cervantes' special identity, he had personally followed her to investigate, but the result was the same as Ruan Ziying's.

Yet Fang Heng found the secret room on the first day?

Ruan Ziying also opened her mouth and asked, "And then? What kind of tree is it?"

Fang Heng thought for a moment, then gestured and described, "The tree is not tall, about three meters tall, but it is very thick. It requires more than 20 people to surround it to hug it. The leaves are in the shape of catkins, and they are purple. I have never seen this kind of tree before."

Fang Heng suddenly paused and shifted his gaze to Shan Fucai.

Recalling the entire incident, he suddenly realized that he had neglected a very important thing.

Occult!

In essence, absorbing energy from trees was related to the occult.

He knew the occult.

In the skill panel, he had Level 2 basic occult.

Thinking back, when he first came into contact with the occult, it was also to understand the strange ritual on his body.

At that time, he sought help from Mo Jiawei's uncles, Mo Yunxiao and Mo Jianghe.

After some basic training related to meditation, he triggered the occult imprint on his body and learned basic occultism.

However, the subsequent cultivation of the occult was very troublesome. At that time, he could only increase his experience points by reading.

After reading a few books in Mo Yunxiao's house, his occult level was only raised to Level 2.

That's right!

Thinking about it carefully, there was another important point.

He was able to obtain academic talent experience points in the process of learning academic skills because of the existence of the occult.

Fang Heng suddenly had a feeling that this game world might have something to do with the occult.

Shan Fucai listened to Fang Heng's narration and looked at Ruan Ziying, asking, "You know more about natural science. Have you heard anything about this tree?"

Ruan Ziying nodded and pondered, "I'm not sure. From the description, there are no plants that meet the standard. It's very likely that it's a special species that Edoma Cervantes has cultivated."

Fang Heng came back to his senses and looked at the two of them curiously. He asked, "Edoma? Who?"

"The previous owner of the manor. She was also a naturalist."

"Oh."

Shan Fucai continued to shift his gaze to Fang Heng and asked, "What happened after that?"

"Then, I tried to get close to it, thinking of using natural science to see if there was anything strange about this tree. Then, I sensed a strange energy fluctuation. Yes, the energy fluctuation that seeped out from under the tree. I felt that it was not good, so I wanted to leave. Just as I left the room, I realized that the fluctuation was getting stronger and stronger, so I sped up and left the manor."

Shan Fucai flipped through the information in his hands.

"What you said just now is roughly in line with the report analysis given by the Occult Investigation Joint Committee. The report believes that Edoma Cervantes is conducting occultism experiments below, and it is related to the unknown plant in your secret room."

"Your arrival broke some sort of balance and triggered the protective device, so it exploded."

Shan Fucai took out another cigarette. He didn't light it, but put it in his mouth and took a sip. He continued, "I suspect that it might be some kind of bizarre object. We need to make sure that the bizarre object didn't spread and died in this explosion. As for the manor, it will be sealed by the committee for the time being. Don't go near it."

Fang Heng looked at Ruan Ziying and scratched his head, "Sorry, I blew up your house."

"As long as you are okay."

Ruan Ziying yawned.

Until now, she had not taken the explosion to heart. She only thought that it was a coincidence.

It was just an accident.

As for the fact that Fang Heng could sense the changes in the room…

Given that he was a World Lord, even though she was surprised that he had such a special ability, it made sense.

Shan Fucai looked at Fang Heng.

Years of investigation experience told Shan Fucai that Fang Heng was hiding something.

Of course, everyone had their secrets, and it was very likely that it had nothing to do with the incident itself.

"Hello?"

After he picked up the call and hung up, Shan Fu's face revealed a thoughtful expression.

Ruan Ziying noticed the odd expression on the face of Shan Fucai and asked curiously, "Leader? What is it? Why do you look so pale?"

"Something has happened. We found traces of high-intensity pollution sources at the scene. The pollution has the possibility of spreading. The current source of pollution is already being tracked."

It was actually pollution!

So that tree was very likely to be the source of pollution?

Ruan Ziying's expression changed and she turned around to look at Fang Heng.

Shan Fucai also shifted his gaze to Fang Heng and said in a deep voice, "Fang Heng, you're the person who has been in close contact with the source of pollution. It's very likely that you've already been contaminated."

"Hmm?"

Fang Heng looked baffled.

Pollution? What did he mean?

"You are directly involved in this incident. In theory, I can ask you to assist in the investigation before the investigation of this incident is clear. I also need to ensure that you don't leave my sight 24 hours a day. However, considering the existence of pollution and the high risk of the current investigation, I can't guarantee your safety."

"I'll send you back to the pollution control center now. After everything is settled…"

Ruan Ziying quickly interrupted him, "Wait, Fang Heng is my friend. I guarantee that we can take him to Cole's place first."

Shan Fucai thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, it's too dangerous. With an A-level energy reaction coupled with a pollution reaction, the pollution spreads very quickly. If he's really contaminated, he'll also become a transmitter of the pollution. We might be in big trouble, so isolation and protection is the best choice at the moment."

Fang Heng listened to the argument between the two of them and was extremely confused. He could not help but ask, "Cough, cough. You guys have been discussing this for so long. What exactly is pollution?"

Report chapter

1498 Pollution

"It's best if you don't know. Based on past experience, if you're really contaminated, the more you know, the faster you'll be corrupted."

"Alright then."

Fang Heng nodded helplessly. He flipped through the game log and said, "I checked the log. I shouldn't be contaminated."

"Not necessarily. Being contaminated won't trigger the game hint."

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and became even more curious about the so-called pollution.

If it was in the past, he would definitely choose to continue investigating with Ruan Ziying.

However, it was different now. The advanced game world was full of dangers. It was better to consider self-preservation first.

Besides, he only had three days to enter Watts. The most important thing was to find a way to obtain an S-level plant to complete the mission.

"Let's both take a step back. We'll take him to Cole's place. You know Cole too. He's always been a loner, living alone in the suburbs. He's also very resistant to pollution. Have your people guard outside Cole's house. If it's confirmed that Fang Heng is really polluted, you can immediately notify someone to take him away, how about that?"

Shan Fucai frowned.

Ruan Ziying said in a low voice, "Fang Heng is very important to our investigation. Once he is sent to prison, the Corruption Arbitrator Council will take over. When the time comes, our investigation will only be more troublesome!"

Shan Fucai was convinced and nodded, "Alright."

Ruan Ziying leaned over and whispered into Fang Heng's ear, "I'll bring you to a friend of mine later. He's a reporter and has a lot of information on hand. He should have information on the plants that you're interested in."

"Go over there and rest for a while. I'll come to find you immediately after I'm done with the things over there. Before that, do not leave the house."

"Yes."

Ruan Ziying solemnly reminded him, "One more thing, no matter what happens, don't get into conflict with the local official forces. Otherwise, we will be very passive."

"Alright."

…

Half an hour later, Fang Heng was sent to a small hut in the suburbs.

Halfway there, five police cars arrived one after another and followed closely behind.

The owner of the hut was called Cole, a senior column editor.

After chatting with Cole for a while, Ruan Ziying left in a hurry with Shan Fucai, saying that they were going to investigate the source of the pollution.

"Oh? Are you the suspected contaminated person? How was it contaminated? It has something to do with the incident at the manor last night."

Cole was wearing thick glasses. He led Fang Heng into the hut and looked like a curious baby. He came up to Fang Heng and looked at him from all directions. Then, he ran to the study room to get a pen and paper. He sat on the sofa and began to record the interview.

Helplessly, Fang Heng briefly recounted what happened in the manor.

After recording the whole incident, Cole licked his lips and looked at Fang Heng, muttering softly, "It's really contradictory. I want you to be contaminated, but I don't want you to be contaminated."

Fang Heng thought to himself, "Are you seriously ill?"

He looked out of the window again.

While the two of them were talking, the uniformed police officers had already closely monitored the surroundings of the hut.

Troublesome!

How did he unknowingly get involved in these inexplicable things again?!

There were only three days left in the game, so he shouldn't delay his work!

Fang Heng scratched his head and decided to focus on the present and think of a way to complete the mission first.

He didn't talk about pollution with Cole. He changed the topic and asked, "I heard that you're Ruan Ziying's friend. An investigative reporter from a renowned newspaper column?"

"Ah, right, since you mention this. You should be the friend who asked about the high-tier plants and mysterious rituals, right? Wait a moment."

Cole immediately got up and rushed to the study room. He changed into another black notebook and sat solemnly on the sofa opposite Fang Heng.

"I'm a very simple person. You help me, and I'll help you."

Cole flipped open his notebook and looked at Fang Heng. He asked, "Come, tell me about the ritual that your friend encountered. What was the ritual like?"

"Hmm?"

"I guessed it. Don't doubt the sensitivity of a reporter. From your various statements, you or one of your friends must have participated in similar rituals, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so interested."

Cole looked like he had everything under control.

Fang Heng frowned.

"Will you keep it a secret for me?"

"Of course, these are all my personal records. I only use my brain and pen to record them. I only record events. I use special symbols to hide any other relevant information. In the future, if someone comes to investigate, they can only investigate the events."

Cole adjusted his glasses and said seriously, "Anyway, this is an exchange of information. You can tell me what happened to your friend."

Fang Heng thought.

"Oh…"

After carefully recording what Fang Heng said, Cole rubbed his chin and revealed an interested expression. He then stood up and said, "Interesting ritual. It seems that your friend was also a witness to the ritual."

"Also? Are you saying that someone else has also experienced the ritual?"

"Yes, it's my turn to help you next. Come, follow me."

Fang Heng followed Cole up the stairs to the attic on the third floor.

The attic was very large, more like a garbage dump. It was filled with old newspapers from various periods and large boxes filled with documents.

Because there were too many miscellaneous items and it was too messy, Fang Heng could only stay at the door area.

"Let me see. Let's do it one by one. What do you want…"

Fang Heng reminded, "Let's look for special plants first. They have to be of a high grade, at least S-level."

"Oh, right, right, right."

While Cole was rummaging through the garbage for old newspapers, Fang Heng looked out of the window.

At some point, a group of people had gathered outside the window.

Judging from their attire, they were not police officers from the local world.

"Hah! I got it!"

Cole found a few newspapers in the trash, which caught Fang Heng's attention.

"Take a look at this."

Fang Heng took the newspaper and started reading.

It was news from about ten years ago.

The newspaper reported that the national scientific research institution had successfully developed a new technology that combined ancient life technology and natural awakening technology. It had successfully awakened the Phoenix Firs from tens of millions of years ago.

This technology was considered a creative and innovative technology. Once this technology matured, humans would be able to replicate and revive extinct ancient creatures.

However, this technology was opposed by some party members, who believed that the resurrection of ancient creatures was extremely uncertain and dangerous.

Regardless of what the two sides of the discussion said, Fang Heng had heard a report that the Phoenix Firs that had been successfully resurrected had a strong vitality of ancient creatures. It could emit a gentle natural aura and attract birds to build nests on the tree. It was also food for some ancient creatures.

Report chapter

1499 Information

The Natural Science Society determined that the tree had excellent adaptability to natural science and extraordinary vitality. It was judged to be a tree that surpassed the S level.

In ancient times, this tree could grow indefinitely.

It was also because of its strong vitality that the national scientific research institution was able to wake it up.

Fang Heng's heart moved.

This thing looked very reliable.

"Where is this tree now?"

"Wait a minute, let me check," Cole took out his phone and logged into the Internet to check. He said, "What a coincidence, it's in our District Ado Tutelan. It's now placed in the city exhibition hall for public exhibition. You're new here, right? You might not have been to the exhibition hall before. It's very big. There are several campuses inside, and the number of visitors per day is more than 10,000."

Not bad, there was a clue!

And it seemed that this tree was not strictly protected.

It seemed like he could get it easily.

Fang Heng felt that things were gradually developing smoothly.

"Here, take a look."

Cole said as he handed the phone to Fang Heng.

What?

Fang Heng took the phone and was shocked when he saw the picture of the Phoenix Firs.

It was actually a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. From the photo, it was at least ten meters tall.

It was no wonder that the people were so assured to leave the precious S-level tree in the exhibition hall for anyone to visit.

Thinking about it carefully, to steal such a big tree in front of everyone…

It would be over for the instigator!

Fang Heng scratched his head again.

"Is there anything else?"

"Do you think S-level plants are cabbages? I definitely can't find a second type in this city. Give me more time, and I can think of a way to check more in other cities."

As he spoke, Cole went into the thick pile of newspapers again.

This time, Cole was much faster. He dug out a pile of old newspapers and a notebook from the depths of the pile of newspapers.

"I found them. An anonymous person provided me with information. He's a doctor and he's renting on the first floor. The floors above are rented out by the landlord. One night, he heard a strange sound coming from upstairs. When he woke up the next day, he felt that something was wrong and went upstairs to check. In the end, he found that someone had died upstairs."

"After calling the police, the Occult Investigation Joint Committee immediately came to investigate."

"He was the first to discover the scene. According to him, he found some ritual marks at the scene, similar to what you described."

"Yes, he also found a few corpses at the scene. The Occult Investigation Joint Committee suspects that it's related to some kind of religious ritual. According to the doctor's description, the deceased's death was very strange. His mouth was wide open, and there were signs of tearing. It felt like something had escaped from his mouth."

"Later, this incident was determined to be a suicide. The officials did not publicly investigate the incident. I think there must be something fishy about this incident."

"I calculated the time. Guess what?"

Fang Heng asked curiously, "What?"

"In just two years, there were 24 similar incidents. Each incident happened in a different location, and these were reported incidents. I'm sure there are many incidents that have not been reported."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin, took the newspaper and record book from Cole's hands, and began to read them carefully.

Some of the descriptions in the report were inconsistent with the scene of the ritual he saw.

For example, the blood and the deceased.

According to the description, a magic array was drawn with blood at the scene, so the smell of blood was very strong.

For example, the marks found at the scene and some reports about the scene.

Fang Heng was sure that these runes were similar to the memory illusion he saw, but they were not the same.

"Oh right, take a look at this."

"Hmm?"

"It was confirmed that there was an interview with a survivor who went through the ritual. I spent a lot of effort to get it."

"Survivor?"

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

"Yes, and what's even stranger is that ever since that person survived, similar incidents have never happened again. Don't you find it a coincidence?"

Fang Heng pondered and then asked, "Do you know who that person is? Can you still find him now?"

"It's a little difficult. The person in the report is anonymous, and the guy who reported this is dead. It's taboo, but I have a former classmate who works in the same newspaper as him. I can find a way to contact him and ask him about the situation."

"Yes, help me ask. This is very important. Thank you."

Fang Heng nodded and secretly noted down the face of the anonymous person in the newspaper.

A ritual?

What was it related to?

Fang Heng took out another newspaper report and started to read it carefully.

He had a vague feeling that these things might be related to him.

"Clack clack!"

Just as he was reading the information carefully, the sound of metal clashing came from below the attic.

Fang Heng and Cole raised their heads at the same time and looked at the door.

"Bang!!"

The door was pushed open from the outside, followed by two fully armed police officers. In front of them was a thick black shield. A display screen with a camera extended from behind the shield.

"Buzz…"

The screen emitted two short static sounds, followed by the image of a middle-aged man. His face was solemn.

"Mr. Fang Heng, we encountered a lot of trouble during the investigation of the manor's destruction. It's not convenient to disclose the details, but we have reason to suspect that you have been contaminated with a high concentration of pollution."

"We need your cooperation. Please come with us. This is for your own safety, as well as the safety of others and the stability of society. We appreciate that."

"Hmm?"

Fang Heng frowned as he listened.

"Before we rule out the possibility of contamination, there's still you, Mr. Cole. You should be more aware of the dangers of contamination. You've had close contact with the contaminator, so there's a possibility of contamination. Please receive protection with us."

Fang Heng couldn't help but look at Cole beside him.

From the beginning to the end, the two young men holding shields behind them were fully armed. They hid half of their bodies behind the solid shields and did not even dare to show their faces.

Cole was a little more excited when he saw this. He leaned in front of the screen and said, "Does it have to be so exaggerated? I have the right to know the level of pollution."

"After analysis, the pollution indicator has exceeded the theoretical maximum of 500. We have already taken the highest level of protection measures to disperse the people around the manor. To ensure safety, please come with us."

"So high?!"

Cole was shocked and could not help but turn to look at Fang Heng.

Something's not right! Theoretically, if he was exposed to such a high-intensity pollution source environment, how could he not be contaminated?

However, after talking for so long, there was not a trace of contamination on Fang Heng's body.

Report chapter

1500 Imprisonment

"Time is of the essence, please act immediately."

Fang Heng looked at the other party and could not help but fall silent. He quickly made a decision in his heart.

Follow them?

Ruan Ziying had said to try not to have any conflicts with the local forces.

Bang! Bang!!

Just as Fang Heng was hesitating, two gunshots rang out.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng perceived the bullet's trajectory and quickly dodged it.

Cole, who was not far away from him, was not so lucky. He had been stabbed with an anesthetic needle in his shoulder. He immediately fell back in a daze and fell into the trash pile behind him.

The middle-aged man on the screen shouted, "Take him down!"

Immediately, more than ten fully armed elite team members rushed in from outside the door and raised their guns at Fang Heng.

"Behave yourself! Don't move!"

…

At the same time, in a basement outside the city, Ruan Ziying and Shan Fucai followed the source of the pollution to this place, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

This was a secret residence left behind by Edoma.

The scene was very messy. It looked like it had been ransacked not long ago.

Shan Fucai hesitated for a while after picking up the call. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Yes. From the traces extracted from the scene, it's confirmed that it's at least an SS-level pollution source."

SS-level!

Ruan Ziying was extremely surprised.

Such a high-level pollution source was extremely rare. She had only heard of it.

"Then Fang Heng he…"

"Yes, he was in close contact with the source of the contamination. He must have been contaminated. The highest level of alert has been activated. The Corruption Arbitrator Council has taken action. Fang Heng has been temporarily brought into Blue River shelter."

"Alright then…"

A big client had to be contaminated.

This was big trouble!

The only way to save Fang Heng now was to quickly find the source of the pollution and get rid of it.

Shan Fucai took a notebook from an investigator beside him and started flipping through it.

"Looks like Edoma is researching the occult, so she should have come into contact with the taboo."

He opened the title page and pointed at an occult rune imprint.

Shan Fucai frowned and called Ruan Ziying over.

"Ziying, take a look."

Ruan Ziying leaned over and saw the imprint on the title page. She covered her mouth in surprise.

The two of them observed the runes and looked at each other at the same time. A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"Edoma is actually a conservative?"

Then what about the tree and the pollution source found in the manor?

…

On the other side, Fang Heng and Cole entered the unmanned aircraft under instructions and rode the helicopter into a large shelter on the edge of the river.

The dosage of anesthesia was not high, and Cole had already woken up halfway.

Under the instructions of a robot, the two of them got off the plane and changed into a set of white clothes. They followed the robot forward.

"This is the Blue River shelter. This is a pollution disposal facility that the Corruption Arbitrator Council spent a lot of money to build. It was built to protect the people who have been contaminated."

Cole didn't feel like he was imprisoned at all. Instead, he felt like he was here for a vacation. He looked around with great interest and gave Fang Heng some basic information.

Fang Heng looked around and pursed his lips. He gestured at the bracelet he was asked to wear, "I think it's more like a modern prison."

Previously, he had held himself back from making a move, and in the end, someone pointed a gun at him and he boarded the plane.

This feeling was very unpleasant.

It was Ruan Ziying who had repeatedly warned him not to become enemies with the local world, so Fang Heng chose to temporarily endure.

"Because of the pollution, our clothes and shoes have been changed to a single white color. White can effectively resist pollution. In addition, the bracelets on our hands have the ability to locate and purify the mind. The surveillance you mentioned is one aspect, and the other is to resist pollution."

Fang Heng asked, "What exactly do you mean by the contamination?"

"Uh… Actually, I don't know either. I do have a general idea, but I don't understand. Just treat it as an infectious disease with an unknown infection route. In terms of mental health, people who are exposed to the source of pollution are easily contaminated. Of course, contaminated people can also spread pollution. The probability of spreading it to others in the early stages is lower, and it's easier to spread it after symptoms appear."

"And then? What happened after being contaminated? What will happen?"

"For most people, to be corrupted is probably an inexplicable death."

Fang Heng was even more confused.

"Most of them? What about the rest?"

"That would be terrible. You'll become a monster that's neither human nor a ghost, and you might even become a new source of infection. These are all secrets that I've been exploring."

The construction machine brought the two of them all the way into the Central Building B prison and into a long passageway.

On both sides of the passage were large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Behind the glass windows were small rooms. Inside the rooms were people who were also contaminated.

Finally, the two of them were led into two small rooms by artificial machines.

"Buzz… Ka!"

After entering the room, the glass window on one side closed, completely sealing the room.

Through the glass window, Fang Heng could easily see Cole in the room next door, as well as the people held in other small cells in the prison.

It seemed like these were all 'patients.'

There was a curtain beside the glass window that could be closed, but Fang Heng saw the surveillance camera installed in the room at a glance.

The curtains were useless.

Cole was excited. He took out a pen and paper that he carried with him and knocked on the window a few times, trying to communicate with his fellow patients in the cell next door.

However, the other patients did not seem to be willing to pay attention to Cole.

After a few tries, Cole retreated.

He felt that the time they had spent together was still too short, and they were still a little unfamiliar with each other. If he waited a few more days, he would definitely be able to get what he wanted from them.

Unable to get anything from his ward mates, Cole could only settle for Fang Heng.

"Don't be nervous. There are people taking care of our three meals a day. We just need to wait here until the source of the pollution is eliminated. At that time, the pollution on our bodies will be eliminated, and we can go out."

"Source?"

"Yes, I guess it should be the thing that caused the manor to explode yesterday, right?"

Cole took out a notebook from his pocket and leaned over. He said, "Tell me more about it. What's so special about that manor? Think about what you missed out, and I'll help you analyze it."

Fang Heng did not answer. Instead, he looked at the people in the other cells and asked, "Are they all contaminated? With so many people locked up together, aren't they afraid of spreading the disease?"

"No, the pollution will only happen once. I reckon that I have long been contaminated by you. Besides, as long as the source is eliminated, the contaminated people will gradually recover. At that time, we can leave from here."

Report chapter

1501 Taboo

Fang Heng thought to himself that Cole had a good attitude.

However, he couldn't leave this place. Under Cole's persuasion, he patiently told Cole about what he had said to Shan Fucai.

"In that case…According to my analysis, Edoma should also be one of the occult scholars…"

Cole nodded repeatedly and quickly took notes while muttering to himself.

"I just don't know if he's a reformist or a conservative…"

Fang Heng asked casually, "What did you say? The conservative faction? What do you mean?"

"Since you're already contaminated, I'll tell you. The first person to discover the contamination was a mage named Anthony. He was believed to be the first to suffer from spiritual pollution. He founded a school of worship based on the abyss. After thousands of years of evolution, the school has gradually divided into two factions in the recent hundreds of years. One of them is the reformist faction, and the other is the conservative faction."

"Oh? What kind of revolution?"

"It's probably the way of using strength. I heard that the reformists are more radical, and the conservatives might have always followed some ancient rules. There's a conflict between the two sides, and the reformists think that some taboos can be abandoned directly…"

"Speaking of which, we have to thank the division between them and the radical reformists. Only then did we gradually realize that there are so many strange things hidden in this world. This time, we realized that those strange 'taboos' might be related to pollution…"

"In the past, many people suddenly died because they touched some kind of taboo."

"So…"

Fang Heng asked the question that he had always wanted to know, "What exactly are taboos?"

"It's just rules. There are many rules, many, many strange rules."

"What are the details?"

Cole shook his head, and fear flashed in his eyes." I can't say that."

"Why? Don't tell me you don't know about the situation?"

"I know a few articles, I try to analyze them from various reports, but I can't say it."

Cole shook his head stubbornly and shrunk his neck, "This is also to help you. The more taboos you know, the easier it is to be contaminated. It is very likely that a new source of pollution will be formed."

Fang Heng scratched his head, still feeling baffled. He listened to what was being said. Was this human language?

In this world, anyone who touched a taboo would die instantly.

So what was taboo?

Sigh! What a coincidence! That couldn't be said!

The advanced game world was really difficult…

Fang Heng could not help but sigh.

The problem was that in three hours, his zombie clones would be resurrected. By then, a large number of zombie clones would be resurrected and crowded in this small room.

Those natives were extremely vigilant against themselves.

If so many zombie clones appeared, it would be troublesome.

There was a high chance that a bigger conflict would occur.

Helpless, Fang Heng could only pray.

He hoped that Ruan Ziying would be able to help in time.

…

As time passed, Fang Heng was resting on his small bed.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, the small bed shook violently.

Hmm?

Fang Heng almost woke up. He jumped off the bed and carefully observed his surroundings.

In the prison, everyone could feel the shaking ground.

Through the glass window, Fang Heng could see that the people in the other cells had also gotten up and were curiously looking through the glass window.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The entire prison space lit up with red indicator lights, and the alarm filled the entire prison.

From time to time, fully-armed machines would pass through the tunnel at high speed.

Cole was also startled awake. He leaned towards Fang Heng and asked softly, "Fang Heng, what's going on? What happened?"

"I don't know. I wanted to ask you."

Fang Heng said as he looked at the walkway that was only separated by a glass window.

"Ka…Buzz… Buzz!"

Huh?

Suddenly, the glass door in front of them slowly opened.

For a moment, the glass barriers of the prison opened one after another. The 'patients' who were originally locked up were a little confused.

Free?

"Ah!!!"

A shrill scream came from not far away.

In the prison, a young man's face was extremely distorted. He held his forehead and knelt on the ground, wailing in pain.

"Not good, he's going to be corrupted!"

Someone shouted.

Fang Heng frowned and glanced at Cole.

What was that?

"When the contamination is above a certain level, a disgusting mutation will occur. This kind of situation is called the state of corruption…"

Cole had seen photos of the corrupted in some reports before, but this was the first time he saw someone enter the state of corruption in front of him. He could not help but feel a little afraid and subconsciously stepped back.

Black mucus and tiny flesh tendrils were seeping out from the five senses of the young man's body. It was as if a layer of disgusting dark tumors was attached to his body, growing under the stimulation of the flesh tendrils.

In just a short moment, the tumors covered the entire young man. From afar, it looked like a squirming pile of meat.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

What was that?

The monster in front of him looked somewhat similar to a zombie, but there were also huge differences.

"Ah!!!"

Another painful cry sounded.

Some people started to hold their foreheads and wail in pain. Some people even slammed their heads against the wall like crazy.

The situation did not look good.

"Hurry up! Leave this d*mned place!"

"Run!"

When the patients saw this, they were all frightened. In the panic, they did not know who took the lead, but more and more people ran out of the tunnel.

Cole had never encountered such a strange situation before. He was at a loss for what to do.

Soon, most of the prison patients had run away along the passage, leaving only a few people hiding in the room and shivering.

"Let's go out and take a look. Be careful."

Fang Heng pulled Cole along and left through the exit.

He still didn't know what was happening outside.

The so-called corrupted state was also very strange.

No matter what, he couldn't just stand there and watch when he had a chance to escape.

As he walked along the passage, Fang Heng noticed that more and more monsters were gathering on both sides of the passageway.

They were all products of the corrupted patients who had been imprisoned.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

A monster appeared in front of Fang Heng and Cole and then stopped strangely.

"Let's go!"

Fang Heng quickly pulled Cole around and followed the passage all the way to the square outside.

The entire square had fallen into extreme chaos!

There were people rolling on the ground in pain everywhere, and many of them had strange changes in their body parts.

Cole's face was pale, and his voice was trembling slightly because of his nervousness, "They have all been corrupted at an accelerated rate. Most of these people are already contaminated. They must have triggered a stronger source of contamination, causing them to be contaminated at an accelerated rate…"

Fang Heng sensed a powerful strength fluctuation and could not help but squint his eyes to look up.

Report chapter

1502 Corrupt

In a sentry tower periphery of the prison, a tall and thin figure stood at the highest point of the sentry tower.

With his back facing the people in the square, he slowly raised his hands into the sky.

"Servants of the apocalypse, a new sun is about to be born. Let's spread chaos!"

"Apocalypse…Chaos!"

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

About one-third of the 'patients' in the square did not become monsters after being corrupted.

Their bodies were partially or completely decayed, but they still maintained their human appearance and seemed to still have some rationality.

Appearance-wise, they looked like zombies.

The biggest difference was the eyes.

Their eyes, which were covered in red, had no whites at all.

"Fallen Ones, it's the Fallen Ones…Why are there so many of them…"

"Hmm?"

Cole whispered, "Some of the corrupted humans still have some consciousness, but they have been corrupted and become slaves that spread chaos…"

Fang Heng frowned. He noticed that Cole's eyes gradually became lifeless as he spoke, and then he began to mumble to himself.

"Apocalypse, sacrifice…"

"Chi-chi, chi-chi…"

Cole's right hand gradually mutated, and tiny dark flesh sprouts sprouted out from under his skin.

The game hint also appeared quickly on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has been detected to be affected by spiritual pollution…]

[Hint: Affected by an extremely high-level pollution source, the player is rapidly being corrupted…]

[Hint: Unknown status…]

[Hint: Detected that the player is currently in a state of spiritual corruption. Combined with the player's various statuses, the player is currently divided into factions-Chaos.]

[Hint: The player can choose to give up the current faction and choose a new faction (this action may cause unknown effects).]

[Hint: The player has obtained special effect-Corrupt.]

Special effect: Corrupt.

Description: Unknown effect.

Fang Heng's sharp perception sensed that something was wrong with his body, and he could not help but reach out his hand to put it in front of him.

"Chi-chi, chi…"

Like Cole, his hand also grew flesh and tendrils, and dark, dense tumors that looked like armor quickly appeared.

What was going on?

Corrupt?!

Was it a special state?

He was just like the other humans who had been corrupted!

The only difference was that Fang Heng did not feel any discomfort in his body. He could even easily control this corrupted state.

With a slight touch of his mental strength, the tentacles quickly disappeared under his skin.

"Strange, why am I able to control this strange corrupting power…"

And it was very easy.

Where did this power come from?

Was it pollution?

Fang Heng clenched his fist and activated the corrupting effect with all his might!

Chi chi chi…

The flesh was growing at an extremely fast speed, like an armor of flesh that was covered with tumorous bodies that spread throughout his entire body!

Even his face was covered by this strange flesh armor!

The game hint appeared again.

[Hint: The player has entered a completely corrupted state (Power form)(Elementary). In this state, additional defense effects will be obtained. Special state resistance will be increased. Perception, will, and spirit attributes -50. Strength-based attributes 150. Agility, constitution base attributes 70. Holy damage received will increase by 20%.]

What a powerful skill effect!

For ordinary players, a 100-point increase in strength and agility would definitely result in an explosive increase in strength.

If it was any other time, Fang Heng would have laughed out loud in his dreams. However, this power came from a strange source. Who knew if there were any special negative effects? Fang Heng really did not dare to use it recklessly!

"Roar!!!"

Fang Heng raised his head and looked up. The entire prison square was becoming more and more chaotic.

Affected by the corrupting power, the patients in the square were roughly divided into three types. The first type was still struggling in pain, the second type had been reduced to a chaotic monster-like meat paste, and as for the last type…

The Fallen Ones!

Some parts of their bodies were corrupted, and their spirits were stimulated or summoned. They followed the footsteps of the young man they saw on the sentry tower and left the prison one after another.

Fang Heng had a rough guess.

It seemed that everyone behaved differently after being corrupted.

Perhaps it was a kind of screening.

Some people did not pass the screening and became monsters. Some people passed and might be able to get a portion of the enhancement.

At the same time, their spirits were also affected.

[Hint: The player has triggered a mission-Prelude to Chaos.]

Mission title: Prelude to Chaos.

Mission description: The descent of the unknown has opened the Prelude to Chaos. In a crisis, perhaps only submission can give you a chance of survival.

Mission requirements: Please create chaos in District Ado Tutelan and accumulate 100 chaos points.

Failure penalty: 10% permanent reduction in HP.

Current chaos points: 0.

Current mission completion: 0%.

Additional description: Abandoning the faction in the current mission status will mean that the mission has failed.

What the hell!

A punishment that permanently decreased HP?

Seeing such a harsh punishment for mission failure, Fang Heng's heart sank.

It was troublesome!

The missions in the advanced game world were so unreasonable!

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the sky again. The figure standing on the sentry tower had disappeared.

Not good.

That person gave a lot of pressure to Fang Heng. He did not know what level of life form he was.

What should he do now?

What happened to the safest advanced game world?

It was all bullshit!

Fang Heng took a deep breath, calmed down, and quickly thought about it. Then, he looked at the mission hints again.

No, the penalty for failure was too severe. He had to consider completing the mission first.

If it was spreading chaos…

It was not too difficult to do that.

It wasn't like he hadn't done this kind of thing before, so he didn't have much of a psychological burden.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

Based on the current situation, a certain villain had caused chaos in the city. The police must have been busy.

He might as well take this opportunity to go to the exhibition hall to take a look!

The newspaper said that the SS-level tree was currently on display in the exhibition hall.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he might be able to get the plant into his hands.

Fang Heng licked his lips.

While he was there, he could create some trouble and destroy the museum. He should be able to meet the requirements for completing the mission.

Fang Heng quickly thought about his next course of action. Looking at Cole who was gradually falling into a state of spiritual confusion, he knocked him unconscious from behind and took out a rope from his backpack to tie him to a pillar.

"I can only help you up to this point. I wish you good luck."

Fang Heng did not know the source of the pollution, nor did he know how to remove it.

He wanted to help Cole, but he couldn't.

The people from the occult investigation team should have already known that there was an attack here. They would come here immediately.

Cole's survival depended on fate.

As he thought about it, Fang Heng once again entered a complete state of corruption.

1503 The Target

The tentacle quickly covered his face.

"The corrupted state makes it easier to hide one's identity."

Fang Heng muttered to himself and left the prison.

He had read the report before that the exhibition hall was located in the city center.

It shouldn't be hard to find!

After leaving the prison, Fang Heng directly transformed into his bat form and flew into the sky.

…

Half an hour later, in his bat form, Fang Heng flew into the city center.

The entire city was in chaos. Fang Heng could hear the news on the radio and television that the city was in a state of emergency. The government urged the citizens to immediately return to their homes to take refuge and not leave their homes until the incident was over.

A small number of Fallen Ones could be seen on the road, as well as police cars speeding along the road to rescue them.

On the way, he randomly picked a lucky civilian who was panicking and asked for the location of the exhibition hall. Fang Heng quickly located the exhibition hall in the sky.

Soon, Fang Heng returned to his human form and stood outside the central exhibition hall of the city.

The exhibition hall occupied a large area and was divided into several campuses. The Botanic Garden exhibition area was located in a certain area of the exhibition hall.

From the outside, the entire exhibition hall seemed to have experienced a catastrophe.

Fang Heng was about to enter the exhibition hall to find the location of the Botanic Garden area when a magic array suddenly flashed around his feet.

Accompanied by wails, zombie clones revealed themselves from the hovering magic array.

Before, all the zombie clones died in the explosion of the villa without exception, so a large number of zombie clones resurrected almost at the same time.

Eh?

Fang Heng's heart moved.

Did the zombie clones have the same corrupted effect as him?

And it was controllable!

Fang Heng tried it and found that the zombie clone's state was exactly the same as his main body.

Once Fang Heng's main body exited the corrupted state, the zombie clones also exited the corrupted state. The strange tumor-like flesh and tentacles on the surface gradually faded away. Once Fang Heng entered the corrupted state, the zombie clones actually grew the same tumor-like armor and tentacles.

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

Although he still did not understand what corruption was, he could not care so much for the time being.

The most important thing was that the corrupted zombie clones didn't look much different from the other corrupted ones!

It could be used as a better disguise!

Fang Heng glanced at the five-hundred-odd zombie clones behind him, then led the way into the campus.

First of all, he needed to determine the exact location of the S-level Phoenix Firs.

Fang Heng looked up and saw the surveillance camera installed on the railing.

Not good.

The scene of breaking into the exhibition hall might have been captured on camera.

His face would be covered when he was in a corrupted state, but he could still be discovered through some actions.

For safety reasons, it was better to avoid risks as much as possible.

He had to find the central control room first.

Under Fang Heng's control, the corrupted zombie clones rushed into the campus and wreaked havoc, focusing on the various surveillance equipment in the area,

….

In the central control hall of the exhibition hall, more than half an hour ago, after a riot, the people were immediately evacuated from the exhibition hall and the personnel guarded the important central control room.

At present, most of the citizens had already evacuated the exhibition hall.

Several teams responsible for the security of the exhibition hall hid in the control hall with the injured and some people who had not had time to evacuate.

In fact, the exhibition hall was a public property of the government. It was connected to the city's public safety network, and there were usually several security teams providing 24-hour security.

In times of peace, the security forces were enough to stall for time until reinforcements arrived.

But who would have thought that they would encounter such a catastrophic incident?

Faced with the chaos and the attack of the Fallen Ones, the few teams could not provide effective protection at all. They could only retreat to the central control room.

They had thought that the danger had already dissipated and that they only needed to wait quietly for the follow-up rescue.

They did not expect that it was not reinforcements that came, but another large group of terrifying Fallen Ones!

Through the surveillance monitors, the Energy Transformation Team, who was in charge of guarding the exhibition hall, had cold sweat on their foreheads.

There were actually so many Fallen Ones!

Could it be that there was something in the exhibition hall that attracted the attention of the Fallen Ones?

The team leader, Yang Weihua, could not help but look at the director and ask, "Director Cheng? Is there something in the exhibition hall that attracted this group of Fallen Ones?"

"Absolutely not. The exhibition hall has always been open to normal civilians. If there's anything dangerous, we would definitely know about it…"

Yang Weihua took a deep breath and looked at the surveillance monitor again.

A few years ago, he had gone through a mission and encountered the Fallen Ones.

Compared to that time, the Fallen Ones on the screen looked a little strange.

Their movement speed was extremely slow!

Perhaps…

They might be very weak.

He wanted to give it a try.

Yang Weihua reached out and pointed at a certain point on the map on the central screen ad said, "Director Cheng, please prepare to evacuate. We will try to snipe the enemy at Point A. If the interception fails, please retreat immediately."

"Alright, alright. I'll be counting on you guys."

The Energy Transformation Team was a special team formed by the government department. It had extremely strong abilities and was usually used to deal with special events.

Their combat power far exceeded that of ordinary humans.

"Roger, let's go!"

Yang Weihua led his team and two ordinary escort teams to Point A in advance. They split up and guarded the passage opening.

Soon, Director Cheng's voice sounded from the walkie-talkie.

"They're here, half a minute away from you."

"Coming!"

Behind the corner, the zombie clones revealed themselves.

Under the corrupted state, the zombie clones' movement speed even increased a little!

A dense group of Fallen Ones rushed out from the corner. The visual impact of this was far stronger than what could be seen on the screen!

Crazy.

There were actually so many corrupted monsters!

Yang Weihua remained calm and raised his hand to signal, "Fire!!"

"Boom boom boom boom…"

The sound of bullets echoed throughout the entire passage.

The concentrated bullets bombarded the zombie clones, and the huge impact sent them flying backward!

After a round of ammunition was emptied, the party looked at the passage opening in front of them.

The specially made bullets could cause additional damage to the polluted creatures.

Huh?!

It was ineffective?

Yang Weihua's pupils constricted.

After the Fallen Ones who were sent flying by the bullets landed on the ground, they slowed down. Then, they struggled to get up from the ground and rushed towards the passage again!

They were actually unharmed!

D*mn it!

They couldn't be defeated!

They didn't need to make a move. Yang Weihua immediately judged that the strength of the Fallen Ones was not something they could deal with.

He immediately shouted into the communicator on his collar, "Retreat! Command post! Enemies with strengths higher than S-level have been determined. Evacuate immediately and retreat immediately! I repeat! Retreat immediately! Don't get entangled with the enemy. The enemy's movement speed is very slow. We can completely shake them off!"

"I repeat! Retreat immediately!"

Seeing that the corrupted monsters were unharmed after a round of attacks and continued to charge forward, the garrison team immediately lost all desire to fight. Under the command of the captain, they quickly retreated along the retreat route.

1504 Spiritual Pollution

At the entrance of the exhibition hall, Fang Heng was strolling towards the command room.

Through the game log, he observed the survivors preparing to retreat from the campus.

Fang Heng didn't choose to let the zombie clones chase after them. Instead, he continued destroying all the campus surveillance equipment and invading the central surveillance area.

At the same time, Fang Heng was also trying to study his body's special state – Corrupt.

It was a bizarre state.

Fang Heng realized that he could control a part of his body to enter the corrupt state.

For example, his entire arm or his head.

After the arm was corrupted, the part wrapped and regenerated by the tendrils would become much harder, and its defense ability would also increase.

"It's similar to the zombie virus I first encountered in the game. The new fusion virus on the Tyrant also has similar tentacles, but that virus has stronger self-awareness and more of a self-regeneration ability. It's also not easy to be controlled…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

However, he was sure that corrupt and viruses were two different things.

Fang Heng tried to control the tendrils that extended from his body. They could slowly extend about five centimeters out of his body maximally.

It was about the length of a dagger's blade.

Just as he was trying to control the dagger, a red game hint suddenly appeared.

[Hint: The player's zombie clone has successfully completed the branding – Ice Bones (Leader).]

He succeeded again!

With that, he could summon two commander-level Ice Bones to fight at any time.

In such a dangerous place like the advanced game world, having two Ice Bones leaders fighting was not only self-protection but could also buy some time.

Eh?

Fang Heng sensed his sea of consciousness and frowned.

What was that?

A gray fog had appeared In his sea of consciousness at some point unknowingly.

It was faint and thin, but the fog gradually spread outwards.

The fog had just appeared!

It wasn't around when he first entered the advanced game world!

Fang Heng tried to observe the fog, and a bright red game hint appeared.

[Hint: The player's sea of consciousness is affected by an unknown pollution effect. Current pollution level: 0.02%. Under the current state and the effect of the player's various attribute skills and other effects, the estimated total pollution time is 76 days, 23 hours, and 13 minutes (the time may be shortened or extended depending on the player's external influences)…]

Pollution!

Fang Heng's pupils constricted.

Damn it! The feeling of uneasiness came true!

It turned out that corrupt had adverse effects, but he did not notice the existence of the adverse effects before.

The game hint was also unclear.

What would happen if fully polluted?

He did not know!

There were no hints in the game!

Fortunately, he still had time, which seemed to be a long time.

Fang Heng tried to check the gray fog in his sea of consciousness.

No matter how he touched it, it would remain in place without any reaction.

Fang Heng felt that he understood a little.

The biggest difference between pollution and the zombie virus.

One was on the spiritual level, and the other was on the physical level.

[Hint: The player has caused chaos in the city's Central Exhibition Hall (including but not limited to killing, destroying, causing spiritual pressure, spreading pollution, etc.)]

[Hint: Taking everything into consideration, the player's current mission completion rate has reached: 163%].

[Hint: The player has met the mission requirements. The player can continue to increase the mission completion rate.]

Hmm?

Fang Heng saw the new game hint.

The mission was completed so quickly?

That was easy.

Moreover, the mission could be completed more than the limit.

However, there was no need to overdo it at the moment.

After all, there was no reward at all.

While he was thinking, Fang Heng walked into an empty command room.

He still had two months to resolve the pollution slowly. He had to first think of a way to deal with the Phoenix Firs.

After looking around, Fang Heng first came to the front of the main control platform.

Previously in the Zombie Apocalypse, Fang Heng learned foundation computer skills. In addition, his mechanical mastery also had a partial bonus effect on computer control.

Furthermore, the technology of that world was not much different from the technology in Zombie Apocalypse. Fang Heng easily found the local image storage area and quickly deleted it. Then, he began to look for the Botanical Exhibition Campus.

He found it!

Through the surveillance monitors, Fang Heng quickly found the Phoenix Firs that Cole mentioned and pulled the surveillance camera to observe it from all directions.

It was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the newspaper.

And it looked even taller than in the newspaper.

That was it!

But currently, a problem had appeared.

How could he bring that tree back to the real world?

It was impossible for such a large object to fit into his backpack.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

There was only one method he could think of at the moment.

It was to use an ultra-small spatial teleportation hub.

The teleportation hub could open up a 3 by 3 square channel maximally.

He would bring the Phoenix Firs back to the Zombie Apocalypse, then teleport it back to the Vampire Apocalypse game world.

The vampires could open a passage to the real world through the vampire ritual passage.

He would then transfer the giant tree back to the real world.

It sounded simple, but in reality, it was quite troublesome.

First of all, in terms of size, the space that the teleportation hub had opened up was still unable to accommodate the entire Phoenix Firs.

"What should I do…"

Fang Heng stared at the screen and glanced at a skill he had not used for a long time.

Skill – Tree planting.

The skill could slightly increase the success rate of transplanting trees.

Forget it. He had to force it back!

Such a good opportunity was rare.

He would first use the teleportation hub to get it back first!

The tree might be damaged during the teleportation process. He would think of a way to repair it when the time came!

After thinking for a while, Fang Heng immediately began to control the zombie clones.

The zombie clones waved their shovels and walked toward the tree. They began to remove the branches and leaves outside the tree trunk and tried to uproot the entire tree, replanting it in the Zombie Apocalypse world.

…

In the outside world.

The entire District Ado Tutelan had fallen into chaos.

Many people listened to the government's warning and did not go out. There were constant reports of attacks by the Corrupted Fallen Ones in various city areas.

On the streets, the cars were speeding.

Shan Fucai's forehead was covered in sweat.

What was going on?

What had provoked those Fallen Ones?

For thousands of years, the Fallen Ones had never been as crazy as they were today to expose themselves to the Human World in broad daylight.

Two hours ago, the Occult Society building in District Ado Tutelan was the first to be attacked. Then, it was the Government's Secret Prison area and the Blue River shelter where the Polluted were locked up. After that, the City Hall and other important government departments were attacked by the corrupted creatures and the Fallen Ones.

The attack range was only limited to the urban area of District Ado Tutelan.

Shan Fucai couldn't help but feel suspicious.

What did the Fallen Ones want to do?

Chapter 1505 Exaggerated

Ruan Ziying was anxious and kept trying to call Fang Heng along the way.

She couldn't get through!

Fang Heng couldn't have died there, right?

It was over!

Not only would she be unable to complete the KPI, but she might also even get a negative score in the performance appraisal!

"I've received news that a high-level Corrupted has appeared and is attacking the City Hall's Central Command Post."

Shan Fucai received the latest call and sped up to lead his team to the command post to provide support.

Ruan Ziying asked anxiously, "What about the Blue River shelter?"

"Yes, reinforcement has entered the city, and we have regained control of the Blue River shelter. Our people found traces of Cole at the scene, and he has entered a semi-corrupted state, but our people did not find any traces of Fang Heng."

Ruan Ziying frowned.

Things were bad.

If they were unlucky, they would die immediately, ultimately losing their minds and becoming corrupted beings.

They would completely lose their minds in the corrupted state. Even if they could be resurrected, it would be useless!

If they were lucky enough to withstand the mental attack successfully and become the Fallen Ones…

There was no way to go back now. Moreover, she had triggered a special mission. Helplessly, she could only follow him to the command post to provide reinforcement.

The radio communication was in chaos. Among the sporadic messages, Ruan Ziying also heard the news about the city exhibition hall being attacked, and they were asking for help.

However, many emergency calls for help quickly drowned out that news.

Like Ruan Ziying, Shan Fucai didn't take the attack on the exhibition hall to heart and continued to rush to the City Hall for support.

It was said that a powerful Fallen One had been found there.

The group rushed all the way. Just as they arrived near the City Hall, they saw a group of Fallen Ones besieging it.

"Go and help!"

Shan Fucai put on his gloves and was about to instruct everyone to go up to help when suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.

Everyone looked up at the sky above the city's west side at the same time.

"Buzz…"

A blue pillar of light shot into the sky!

The direction was from the city center.

What was that?

Ruan Ziying rolled down the window and peeked out of the car to look. Her eyes flashed with deep surprise.

A game hint appeared on her retina.

[Hint: The player has triggered a special mission – Unknown Invasion]

[Mission Description: Unknown Invasion.]

[Mission Description: Your world has been invaded by an unknown dimension. Please find and stop the source of the Unknown Invasion before the crisis spreads further. Kill the source of the invasion.]

[Mission Reward: Based on the mission contribution points, the highest reward you may receive is a random SS-level item.]

…

Inside the Technology Exhibition Hall.

Looking at the blue pillar of light before him, Fang Heng was also stunned.

Such a big commotion?

The corrupted zombie clones had already previously sealed off all the entrances of the exhibition hall and destroyed all the surveillance equipment.

The zombie clones also uprooted the Phoenix Firs and wrapped it in rags collected at the scene. Half of the dense branches and leaves were cut off.

Looking at it now, the Phoenix Firs was more like a giant stick.

Just a moment ago, Fang Heng used the spatial teleportation hub.

After an hour of preparation, the passage opened, and a blue pillar of light shot into the sky.

[Hint: The player has used a special item in the high-level game world, causing additional spatial strength fluctuation spread effect.]

[Hint: The player is currently in an advanced game environment. Using such items will cause aggro from local forces. Please be careful.]

[Warning: Player, please be careful!]

Damn it!

Since things turned out that way, Fang Heng gritted his teeth and quickly controlled the zombie clones to act.

He had to go all out!

Transplant!

Who cares if the Phoenix Firs can survive or not? He had to try it first!

A blue passage appeared before him.

The Phoenix Firs was much heavier than ordinary trees.

However, there was no need to be afraid. Fang Heng had many subordinates!

More than 50 zombie clones worked together to carry the giant tree and slowly passed through the teleportation passage.

Due to the special limitations of the ultra-small spatial teleportation hub, Fang Heng could not directly enter the passage to get to the other end.

Mo Jiawei had already communicated with Fang Heng offline and brought his men to the other side of the teleportation passage to receive it.

After obtaining the tree, he would immediately transfer it into the Vampire Apocalypse World.

The Vampire Elder Council would be responsible for the subsequent transplant work.

After all, they had transplanted the Vampire Sacred Tree before and had some experience.

Who cares if they could do it? They should transplant the Phoenix Firs first!

It took less than two minutes to finish all of that. Seeing that the fusion ancient tree and the zombie clones had disappeared at the end of the passage, Fang Heng quickly fled without looking back.

The teleportation passage ended its operation, and the pillar of light that soared into the sky dissipated at the same time.

It differed from when Punoze used the spatial device in the undead world.

At that time, Fang Heng could clearly perceive several forces approaching him rapidly.

But now, he couldn't perceive it at all!

With such a huge pillar of light that anyone could see, Fang Heng was sure someone would rush over to check it out.

Therefore, the other party's strength must be extremely strong, strong enough to avoid his Perception successfully!

That wouldn't work!

He might encounter the person who rushed there to investigate if he left directly.

Fang Heng changed his plan. He entered the campus sewer in a flash, closed the lid, and logged off on the spot!

Just a second before he logged off, the game hint on his retina refreshed at the same time.

[Hint: The player has used a special method to transfer the Phoenix Firs. Calculating the degree of damage caused by the player…]

[Hint: The player has received an additional 1.2W Chaos Points.]

[Hint: The player's current mission completion rate: 1923%].

That could actually add so many damage points?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

What a loss!

Although the mission completion rate had soared, there was no reward for that mission!

Two figures appeared at the scene three minutes after Fang Heng left the game.

Looking at the huge pit dug out on the spot and the Phoenix Firs that completely disappeared, the two couldn't help but look at each other.

A scheme to lure the enemies away from their base?

It was strange that the mastermind of the incident had gone to great lengths to cause a riot in the entire city, attracting a large number of people to guard the City Hall building. The ultimate goal was actually to seize the Phoenix Firs?

Could the Phoenix Firs have some special use?

However, the fluctuations came from the outside world.

Who did it?

The Fallen Ones? Or those reformists?

Or even more dangerously…

Could it be that an unknown outside individual has connected to the outside world?

…

The offline Necromancer Association.

A magic array appeared on the ground in the room and spun rapidly.

Gray tentacles emerged from the magic array.

Fang Heng's figure gradually appeared.

Eh?

Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

Corrupt!

When he exited the game, he was in a corrupted state. After entering the real world, he still remained in a corrupted state!

Fang Heng sensed it almost immediately. Even in the real world, he still inherited the strength of corrupt in the game.

What was going on?

Fang Heng frowned and tried to exit the corrupted state to restore his original appearance.

Someone once said that an advanced game world could easily project itself into the real world.

Chapter 1506 The Mind

However, until now, Fang Heng still could not understand what the so-called pollution and corrupt were and why he was immune to the negative effects of corrupt.

He perceived his sea of consciousness again.

In his sea of consciousness, the dark strength was still there, and it had even spread a little.

Oh no!

The negative effects of pollution also followed him into the real world!

"Advanced game is really not for humans to play."

Fang Heng complained in his heart.

Fortunately, the Phoenix Firs was already in his hands, and he had completed most of his mission in Watts.

At the very least, he had gained a little.

He felt helpless. It was too dangerous to go back online now. Fang Heng wanted to stay offline for a while to hide and wait for the storm to pass before going online.

If one can't make up one's mind, look for one's teacher.

He could use the time to ask Teacher Dickey about the situation.

After all, Teacher Dickey had lived for so long and was very knowledgeable.

Fang Heng immediately changed into a necromancy scholar uniform and left the room to ask Teacher Dickey about pollution and corrupt.

Unfortunately, after asking the necromancy attendant, he found out that Teacher Dickey was not currently in the Necromancer Association.

It was said that he had just left last night and would be having a three-way negotiation with the people of the Holy Court under the witness of the Federation.

It should be related to the disappearance of the Saintess.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

Speaking of which, could corrupt be related to the ritual he had come into contact with?

Fang Heng thought of Viona.

It was Viona who had asked him to enter Watts to look for clues.

Perhaps Viona should know something more.

However, Viona was still in the Land of Plague, and he couldn't go there.

He discreetly asked Mo Jiawei to go over to test it out.

Fang Heng tried to send a message to Mo Jiawei.

Forget it. He would go to the library to look for information first.

Thus, Fang Heng turned around and returned to the library.

Unfortunately, even when the sun was about to set, he could not find any records related to pollution, corrupt, or the Fallen Ones.

He did find some special materials and potions for repairing trees.

The good news was that those potions could be purchased through the internal points of the Necromancer Association.

He would find an opportunity to ask Tan Shuo to buy some for him.

Right, he could ask Old Black!

Fang Heng thought of Old Black again after reading for a few hours in the library, so he closed the book and left in a hurry.

He returned to his room and logged into the internet.

Old Black didn't seem to be active during the day.

He was not online.

However, Old Black's forum didn't disappoint Fang Heng.

Fang Heng found the relevant content after entering the relevant keywords in the forum.

Someone was selling polluted equipment.

After careful inspection, the polluted equipment was almost the same as normal equipment. The difference was such equipment would result in an anomaly of the spirit after being used for a long time.

It was similar to dizziness, hallucinations, and other negative states.

In severe cases, they would even be enslaved by the strength of corrupt and become monsters that had lost their minds.

It would be similar to the Corrupted and the Fallen Ones.

Fang Heng learned a new term from that.

"Mental attack."

Eh?

As he scrolled, Fang Heng suddenly saw an anonymous post from two days ago.

The level of the anonymous was very high.

A Level 12 forum level.

Fang Heng, on the other hand, was only a Level 3.

The scoring criteria for the level of the forum depended on the length of time the players spent in the forum, their activity, the level of the referees, and the credibility of the various activities.

Level 12 would be ranked in the top 10% of all players on the forum.

Game world: Watts!

The person who posted was currently in Watts!

Fang Heng caught another keyword and could not help but narrow his eyes.

After looking at the post carefully, Fang Heng realized it was a request for help.

The person who posted that request for help seemed to have encountered great trouble and was greatly polluted. He was currently on the verge of being corrupted. He had a premonition that his mind was about to be stripped away by a special strength, so he wanted to seek help. As for the reward, the other party was willing to provide everything as long as he could survive.

"Mind depriving…"

After reading the content of the request for help, Fang Heng was even more puzzled.

From the information gathered from various sources, it seemed one's mind would be affected after being corrupted.

But why didn't he feel that way at all?

Was he immune because of his high basic attributes? Or was it because it was only the elementary stage, so there was little reaction?

From the few help posts on the internet, corrupt was not as simple as it seemed. Once players found out that they were polluted, they would panic and look for a solution.

After a week, there was no more post.

As he looked on, Fang Heng started to feel uneasy.

During his trip to the advanced game world, the problem with the ritual had not been solved, and there was another strange pollution in the sea of consciousness. That made him feel uneasy.

Eh?

The player who posted the mission had logged in!

Perhaps he could get some useful information from him.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he tried to send him a private message.

"Are you there?"

"?"

"I'm in Watts, and I've been polluted as well. I want to talk to you about pollution."

Fang Heng did not expect the other party to have such a big reaction. It was as if the other party had grabbed onto a life-saving straw, and Fang Heng immediately received a reply, " Can you help me? Where are you? I'll come and find you!"

"District Ado Tutelan."

"!!!!!"

The other party sent several exclamation marks in a row.

"What happened in District Ado Tutelan?"

"I don't know, but I received a mission before. The mission requires me to create chaos in the city."

"!!!!!"

The other party sent several exclamation marks over again.

"Faction quest?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Previously, I also perceived the calling of a strength, but I didn't dare to go over. I was worried that the pollution would worsen if I went over. So, what's your degree of pollution? Or have you completely fallen?"

Complete fallen…

What did he mean?

Fang Heng thought momentarily and continued typing, "We can cooperate. Can we talk face to face?"

The other party hesitated for a while before replying, "Yes. District Ado Tutelan is currently conducting a search and managing the pollution. We need to find a safe place to meet. When it's dark, their perception of pollution will decrease. We'll meet at the cafe outside the bell tower in the suburbs. It's very safe there. I'll send you the specific coordinates."

"Alright."

Fang Heng waited patiently in his room for another two hours until Mo Jiawei went offline next door.

The two of them quickly discussed.

The materials from the Zombie Apocalypse were still being transported.

Mo Jiawei was mainly in charge of trading with the Starfish Company for the past two days.

Halfway through, he first received a message from Starfish Company, saying that Fang Heng had encountered great danger in the advanced game. It then hinted that Fang Heng might have died and asked him to try to contact Fang Heng offline.

1507 Retaliation

Dead?

Would Fang Heng die?

Mo Jiawei felt that it was impossible.

It was pretty normal to encounter danger.

He would be surprised if Fang Heng didn't make something out of the game.

As expected, Mo Jiawei did not have time to be nervous. As soon as he went offline, Fang Heng appeared before him anxiously and came to find him to arrange for the Phoenix Firs to be transplanted.

Hence, Mo Jiawei returned to the game world hurriedly to arrange for the prison and vampires to work together to prepare for the transplant.

Mo Jiawei had just finished the transplant and was about to go offline to catch his breath when he saw Fang Heng waiting for him offline.

"Is the situation alright?"

"Phew, it's finally settled."

Mo Jiawei gave Fang Heng an OK sign.

Although he was a little tired, Mo Jiawei was full of energy.

Fang Heng was as awesome as ever.

Even though it was an advanced game world, if he said he wanted to snatch things, he would definitely snatch!

Putting those aside, they would test the waters first this round. Next time, they would snatch the entire advanced game world back together!

Mo Jiawei explained the situation in detail.

"The Phoenix Firs has been transplanted to the Vampire Apocalypse. According to the vampire elder, there are many difficulties in transplanting. However, we are fortunate. The Phoenix Firs has a very strong vitality. In short, we overcame it in the end. Just that there was great damage done during the process, so it will take longer to recover."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Brother." Fang Heng patted Mo Jiawei's shoulder, "I'm in trouble. It's probably related to some kind of pollution. Have you heard of it?"

As he spoke, Fang Heng explained in detail the matters related to pollution that he encountered in the game.

Mo Jiawei shook his head after hearing Fang Heng's story.

"I've never heard of it. My uncles might know. I'll go ask, but don't get your hopes up…"

As Mo Jiawei spoke, he dialed the satellite phone at home.

Fang Heng saw Mo Jiawei say a few words on the other end of the phone. Then, he shrugged helplessly and hung up.

He seemed to have been scolded by his uncle again.

"What did he say?"

"Pollution is an extremely dangerous thing. My uncle has only heard of it. He had a friend who came into contact with pollution once and went missing. The Federation's investigation of pollution was stopped after a few years. They didn't know much about the specific situation and told us not to come into contact with it."

"My uncle suggested that we stay in intermediate games for now and not rush into the advanced game world. We should build a good foundation before going."

Fang Heng thought to himself that he had supposed so too. For that, he even made a plan not to cause trouble in the short term.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.

The Holy Court had been giving him trouble.

Pollution was a very strange thing. Two months was neither too long nor too short. It would still be too dangerous to let it continue.

It seemed that he could only use the worst method.

After some thought, Fang Heng leaned over and whispered a few words into Mo Jiawei's ear.

"Viona?" Mo Jiawei's eyes were filled with surprise. He nodded, "Alright, I'll go see her."

…

Inside a room wrapped in layers of vines in the Land of Plague.

Viona was dressed in white, lying quietly on the bed.

She had already tried many times.

Under the suppression of the Long Soul Spikes in her body, her mental strength couldn't pass through the layers of vines to transmit information to the outside world.

Forbearance.

Viona accumulated her strength bit by bit.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

The person who came in was not Fang Heng but Mo Jiawei.

"It's you?"

Viona asked curiously, "Where's Fang Heng? Why didn't he come?"

"He ran into some trouble in Watts."

"What? Fang Heng has already entered Watts?"

Viona was a little shocked, and at the same time, her brows were tightly locked.

How many days had it only been? And Fang Heng had already gone to Watts?

And he did not inform her before entering Watts.

Countless thoughts flashed through Viona's mind.

She quickly calmed down and looked at Mo Jiawei, "And then? You came to find me because Fang Heng is in danger? And you need me to take action?"

"Not yet. He's safe, but he can't leave Watts for now. He wants to ask you what pollution and corrupt are."

Viona's expression changed drastically for the first time. Her eyes were like torches as she stared at Mo Jiawei.

Mo Jiawei's heart was beating wildly.

Viona's eyes had a strange magical power.

Under that dignified gaze, Mo Jiawei had the urge to confess everything and even kneel down to repent.

"He has been polluted, hasn't he?" Viona asked, enunciating each word.

They fell into silence again.

Viona already knew the answer.

That was bad!

Fang Heng had been polluted!

The development of the matter was too different from what she had expected!

Fang Heng's investigation speed was countless times faster than she had expected!

Once Fang Heng was completely polluted, or if he discovered the secret in his body…

She had to intervene in advance!

Viona suddenly raised her head and looked at Mo Jiawei, "Let me out. I want to find Fang Heng. He's in extreme danger now and needs to get rid of the pollution in his body immediately."

"You know that this is impossible."

Viona knew that Mo Jiawei would refuse, so she took a step back and said, "Then tell him to go to the Hope Alliance and find Gan Honghua immediately. He's the only one who can remove the pollution from Fang Heng's body. We definitely can't let the pollution spread!"

Mo Jiawei looked at Viona.

"And then? Will Gan Honghua help us?"

"Isn't Fang Heng able to use the strength of the Holy Light? Tell Gan Honghua that I asked Fang Heng to go. He will help to remove the pollution. Quickly go!"

…

Mo Jiawei went offline and told Fang Heng about their meeting.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little strange.

"Gan Honghua…"

"Fang Heng, I think Viona's behavior is a little strange. After learning that you were polluted, she changed drastically. When has she been so concerned about you? Could it be a trap?"

"Indeed, it's very possible."

Fang Heng stroked his chin and nodded in agreement.

He had to be wary.

"Do you know where Gan Honghua is now?"

"Yes, I've asked around. The Hope Alliance is a small folk organization in the Watts game world. It will take some time to find out the exact location."

"Alright, find a way to investigate. I can ask the Starfish Company to help too. I'll go back to the game to check the situation first."

The two of them had a simple discussion before they split up to do their work.

Fang Heng returned to the game and returned to the sewer area.

After the crisis ended, investigation teams from various government departments gathered in the exhibition hall area to investigate.

The two workers responsible for inspecting the sewers in the exhibition hall were ordered to re-inspect the sewers.

"Don't you know? I've seen that pillar of light at home. It was very dazzling. I wonder what it is, but just thinking about it is a little scary."

"Don't talk nonsense. There are so many people here. It might be some kind of high-tech experiment issue."

"In my opinion, it might be an infected creature from another planet…"

As the two were talking, a magic array circled on the ground behind them. Fang Heng's figure gradually appeared.

1508 Misleading

One of the maintenance staff seemed to have heard something behind him and turned his head.

He saw a shadow approaching them quickly from the corner of his eye.

"Who's that?"

A figure flashed past the flashlight.

"Pa! Pa!"

After two consecutive heavy collisions, the two of them blacked out at the same time and fell heavily to the ground.

The corrupted flesh on Fang Heng's face gradually faded.

He first looked around and squatted to check on the two fainted people.

Those two were probably just normal people who were checking the sewer.

There was no threat.

After some thought, Fang Heng changed into the sewer mechanic's uniform and badge. He walked around the sewer for a while and left through another sewer exit that was further away.

He climbed up the ladder to the ground.

The crisis outside seemed to have dissipated.

At that moment, many uniformed investigators were gathered at the venue.

He could contact Ruan Ziying through them.

Fang Heng thought for a moment.

He was still in a polluted state.

It was too risky to contact the investigators rashly. It was very likely that he would be considered a Polluted and then be imprisoned.

It was inappropriate.

He couldn't waste time.

Ruan Ziying had a close relationship with the investigators, so she might be unable to protect him now.

He would investigate first.

Fang Heng lowered his hat and tried to leave the exhibition hall as he thought about it.

At that time, the exhibition hall's reconstruction and rescue work and investigations were in full swing.

The police officers never expected someone to hide in the exhibition hall and even leave openly.

Fang Heng walked past a few police officers. The police officers' eyes only lingered on Fang Heng for a moment before they quickly swept past him.

After leaving the exhibition hall, Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.

First, he had to look for the forum Big Brother.

…

Fang Heng didn't know that he and Ruan Ziying had just missed each other.

Ruan Ziying and Shan Fucai had just arrived at the Botanic Garden half an hour ago and were investigating the scene.

In the Botanic Garden area, only a huge hole was left in the exhibition hall's center.

It was a large pit left behind by the SS-level ancient tree, the Phoenix Firs.

Was the entire tree stolen?

Ruan Ziying stood in front of the pit and observed silently.

She felt that something was amiss.

Last night, Fang Heng mentioned he was looking for a higher-than-SS-level plant.

When Fang Heng mentioned it, Ruan Ziying did not think of the Phoenix Firs.

Now that she thought about it…

In the entire District Ado Tutelan, only the exhibition hall seemed to have the SS-level Phoenix Firs.

Could it be Fang Heng?

It was impossible.

Ruan Ziying shook her head and threw that unrealistic idea away.

Coincidence. It was just a coincidence.

Players from the low-tier game world wouldn't invade the high-tier game world.

Shan Fucai walked to Ruan Ziying's side. Seeing her thoughtful look, he couldn't help but ask, "How is it? What do you think?"

"Well, I think it might have something to do with the tree we found in Edoma Cervantes' house last night."

"Indeed, I have the same feeling. The other colleagues in the department are already investigating Edoma's situation."

Unknowingly, Fang Heng led Shan Fucai and the other investigators astray.

Combined with the testimony of the people at the scene and the pollution reaction detected at the scene, it could be confirmed that the plundering of the Phoenix Firs was closely related to the attack on the city.

Ruan Ziying asked, "Is it the reformists? Or is it the actions of the Fallen Ones?"

"We can't be sure yet, but it's most likely a controlled Fallen Ones. Also, I've just checked some damage reports. Some important files in the bureau have been lost and destroyed, and various prisons that hold dangerous individuals have also been attacked. We've already located a few pollution sources and are ready to clean them up. The reinforcements from outside have also arrived. We'll be swamped for the next two days."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

With that wave of crisis, the losses in District Ado Tutelan seemed hefty.

But in fact, the crisis lurking in the city for many years had all surfaced at that moment.

Next was the time to settle scores.

Once the strength in the shadows was exposed to the world, they would definitely be attacked.

There was the Occult Society, the conservatives, and even the reformists who would take action.

The officials would not allow those monsters to destroy the world's peace wantonly.

But in the end, Shan Fucai couldn't help but ask why?

Why would the enemy do that?

What was the use of the Phoenix Firs? Was it worth it?

Ruan Ziying was more worried about Fang Heng's situation and couldn't help but ask, "Have you found Fang Heng yet?"

Shan Fucai shook his head.

"It is most likely bad news."

Needless to say, Shan Fucai felt that Fang Heng was most likely polluted and had turned into a monster in the tragedy, which was then cleaned up by the Corruption Arbitrator Council.

It was over.

There was no hope for her KPI.

Ruan Ziying felt bitter in her heart. Holding on to her last hope, she begged, "Help me check again. He's very important."

…

Shang Island Cafe.

Near the window sat a fashionably dressed young woman. She had a well-proportioned figure and wore high hiking boots. Occasionally, she looked out of the window and looked a little uneasy.

Due to the previous chaos, most of the restaurants in the city had closed. Only a small number of shops in the suburbs were not affected.

Outside the window, a young man hurried over.

Yu Jiayuan noticed Fang Heng immediately.

She watched as Fang Heng entered the cafe and sat opposite her.

Yu Jiayuan sized up Fang Heng from head to toe, her eyes filled with vigilance.

If it weren't for the fact that she was at the end of her rope, she wouldn't have come to meet someone she didn't know so easily.

"Hello, I'm Fang Heng. I've contacted you on the forum before."

Fang Heng…

Yu Jiayuan whispered the name in her heart.

She did not know Fang Heng, but when she heard the name Fang Heng, she felt that it sounded a little familiar.

Ever since her spirit had been polluted, she had put all her energy into dealing with the pollution. She had no time to care about what was happening in the low-tier game world.

Fang Heng was also observing Yu Jiayuan.

The weather was a little stuffy, but Yu Jiayuan wrapped herself up tightly.

"How should I address you?"

"Yu Jiayuan."

Yu Jiayuan quickly turned her attention back to Fang Heng. Her eyes were still full of vigilance, "You've been polluted too? What is your pollution level? What is your degree of corrupt? Have you confirmed the pollution source?"

Fang Heng frowned.

A few questions immediately confused him.

"I just came into contact with pollution and corrupt not long ago, so I don't know much about them."

Yu Jiayuan stared at Fang Heng and said in a low voice, "Prove it. Prove that you have also been polluted."

Fang Heng leaned forward slightly and slowly stretched out his hand.

"Chi chi…"

Yu Jiayuan's eyes were filled with surprise.

She was surprised to find that Fang Heng's hand was in a strange state of corrupt.

1509 Uncontrollable

The tendrils wriggled out from under his skin and quickly wrapped around his finger.

Under Fang Heng's control, the corrupted state quickly faded away, and he completely restored his original state.

The whole process took less than two seconds, and Fang Heng had already retracted his hand.

However, that scene shocked Yu Jiayuan, and she almost stood up. Her gaze was fixed on Fang Heng's finger.

What the hell was that mode that allowed him to control the corrupted state at will?

The corrupted state could actually regress?

It was simply unheard of!

Yu Jiayuan was too nervous. She held the coffee with both hands and took a sip carefully to calm herself down.

"How did you do it?"

"What?"

"Stop pretending. Exiting the corrupted state."

Fang Heng looked around and took a sip of coffee, "I don't know either."

"What do you mean?"

"I came into contact with the pollution and became like this after being corrupted. I also discovered something in my sea of consciousness, so I'm also looking for the answer now."

Fang Heng looked at Yu Jiayuan.

"We can work together and help each other. We can think of a way to solve our problems together."

Yu Jiayuan looked at Fang Heng.

She was bewildered.

From the other party's words, was he here to gain something with nothing?

However, Fang Heng's corrupted state was too strange!

For a moment, Yu Jiayuan couldn't figure out which of Fang Heng's words was true or false.

However, she had no other choice now.

She would take a gamble!

With everything she had!

"Alright, what do you want to know?"

"Starting from the very beginning. What is pollution?"

"Do you want me to die quickly?"

Yu Jiayuan was a little agitated. She stared at Fang Heng, "Stop talking about the pollution. It will only accelerate my corrupt!"

Fang Heng frowned and closed his eyes to perceive.

The strange fog in his sea of consciousness seemed to have spread further.

Once the discussion about pollution was involved, that part of the fog would spread faster.

"Alright, I want to know how to solve the pollution problem completely."

Yu Jiayuan put down her coffee and looked at Fang Heng, "Kill your pollution source."

Corrupt was a slow and continuous state.

It began from being polluted, then to the beginning of corrupt, to being partially corrupted, and until being completely devoured by the pollution, turning into a monster!

Before they completely became the Fallen Ones, they still had a chance to turn back.

Kill the pollution source!

That was the most effective method that had been proven countless times.

However, the strange thing was that Yu Jiayuan could not understand Fang Heng's current state at all.

Fang Heng was obviously in a polluted state but was not controlled by that strength to become a Fallen One. Moreover, he could still control his corrupted state.

It was too strange!

He seemed more like a reformist.

However, he also expressed that he did not understand pollution at all.

Fang Heng also fell into deep thought.

When did he start being polluted?

That night? After the big tree under the villa exploded?

What was the pollution source?

"Alright, I understand. The first step is to find the pollution source. The second step is to eliminate the pollution source completely."

"It's not that simple."

Yu Jiayuan clenched her fists.

Killing the pollution source sounded simple, but in reality, there were many troubles. The pollution source was divided into initial pollution sources and a large number of intermediate pollution sources. Sometimes, some people were polluted because they broke a taboo, and they could not even figure out what the pollution source was.

"Why?"

Fang Heng had just opened his mouth to ask when his eyelids suddenly twitched.

The game hint gradually appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has completed the quest – The Beginning of Chaos.]

[Hint: Since the player's mission completion rate is higher than 1000 points, the player has obtained 100 points of the Fallen Ones' faction reputation. The player has triggered the next phase of the mission – The Assembly in The Shadow.]

Mission Name: The Assembly in The Shadow

Mission Description: Please find the gathering point of the Fallen Ones in the District Ado Tutelan to complete the assembly.

Mission Requirements: Avoid the Occult's pursuit and follow the Fallen Ones' summoning to the gathering point to complete the assembly (Remaining mission time: 3 hours and 23 minutes).

Failure Penalty: 2 points deduction of a random basic attribute.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Faction quest!

At the same time, Yu Jiayuan also received the mission hint. She kept quiet and carefully read the mission description.

The two of them raised their heads, and their gazes met midair.

"Have you also received a mission? To assemble?"

"Yes."

The description of the mission was a little different, but the goal of the mission was the same, which was to assemble.

"Do you know the location of the mission?" Fang Heng asked.

Yu Jiayuan frowned slightly and looked at Fang Heng, feeling even stranger, "You didn't perceive it?"

Fang Heng tried to perceive it again and shook his head blankly.

Not at all.

Even though the mission had hinted to him to follow the summoning to the gathering point, he could not perceive anything.

"We'll talk on the way. I'll take you to complete the mission first."

"OK, alright."

They left the cafe, and Yu Jiayuan immediately drove toward the city.

…

On the street in the 'Nightless City' west of District Ado Tutelan.

In the past, the nights there were very noisy.

Due to the chaos during the day, it was very quiet tonight.

In a basement bar deep in the alley.

Yu Jiayuan brought Fang Heng to the entrance of a bar.

There was a sign on the door saying that it was closed.

"Stop right there."

Just as they were about to push the door open, a middle-aged man's voice rang out beside them.

Looking over, there was a table at the entrance of a small shop next to the bar. A Baldy was sitting at the table playing with his phone.

The Baldy looked fierce and glared at the two of them, "Don't you see the words written on it? There was an attack today, and the bar is closed. Get lost!"

Yu Jiayuan walked to the table and whispered, "We are summoned here."

The Baldy retracted the fierceness on his face, "I don't understand what summoning you're talking about. Why don't you show me?"

Yu Jiayuan reached out and pulled open her collar, revealing her shoulders.

Beneath her clothes, the tendrils on her shoulders were squirming strangely, and a layer of corrupt covered them.

The Baldy then looked at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng also stepped forward and stretched out his hand, revealing the tendrils under his sleeves.

"Alright, go in. It seems that there are many newcomers today."

The Baldy nodded, indicating that the two of them could enter.

Fang Heng followed Yu Jiayuan into the bar.

About twenty people were standing in the bar's hall.

[Hint: The player completed the current mission – The Assembly in The Shadow]

Fang Heng looked around and observed everyone in the hall.

Most of them were like Yu Jiayuan, wearing a lot of clothes and covering themselves well.

Upon closer inspection, a small portion of them had signs of being corrupted.

"These people are all…"

"Shh, keep your voice down. They're the same as us. They were summoned here. It seems they've also been polluted and have already shown signs of being corrupted or even become the Fallen Ones."

Report chapter

1510 Who?

Yu Jiayuan led Fang Heng to a corner of the bar and explained in a low voice, "When the pollution reaches a certain level, one will sometimes receive a summoning from the pollution source. You can ignore or follow the summoning to assemble."

Fang Heng was stunned when he heard that and instantly became alert, "Wait, according to what you said, we have already found your pollution source?"

"That's not it. Pollution can be divided into direct and indirect pollution. For example, pollution source A polluted B, and B, as an indirect Polluted, polluted C. If we were C, we could only completely remove the pollution by eliminating source A. After B falls, it can summon C, D, E, F, and all the lower chains below it."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and realized the trouble of pollution.

They had to find their pollution source by tracking them down individually.

Fang Heng continued to ask, "What happens if I refuse the summoning? Will the speed of pollution accelerate?"

"Theoretically speaking, there's no extra punishment for ignoring the summoning. However, I've only heard that there's a chance to come into contact with a higher level Polluted through summoning. It's also one of the ways to advance to the Fallen One. The Fallen Ones will be bestowed with strength after that."

"Oh? One can even gain strength? Why? You don't want to become a Fallen One?"

"Once you become a Fallen One, your life will be in the hands of the pollution source and all the Polluted who are in the upper chain above you. If you were D, you must listen to all the instructions of C and B, as well as pollution source A. Even if they ask you to die, you must do it. Moreover, you can no longer refuse the summoning."

"The most terrifying thing is that falling is an irreversible process. Once you fall, you will forever be controlled. Once anyone in your upper chain, whether A, B, or C, dies, you will immediately corrupt into a Creature that loses its mind."

Yu Jiayuan clenched her fists as she spoke.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

The structure of the pollution organization was clear, and it sounded like a pyramid scheme.

One could imagine that the lower the chain one was in, the more miserable one would be.

"No one would be willing to become a Fallen One if they weren't desperate."

Yu Jiayuan took a deep breath and said, "It's rare to have a summoning in the form of triggering a mission in the past, so this time, it's very unusual. We have to be careful."

The two of them were whispering when the bar suddenly fell silent.

A young man wearing a trench coat and mask walked out from behind the bar counter and stood before everyone.

"A welcome to everyone who has been summoned here. I'm Luo Xu."

The young man calmly swept his gaze across the crowd.

Fang Heng sized him up quietly.

After comparing his body shape, he found that Luo Xu was taller and thinner, with prominent cheekbones. He was not the one who had caused chaos in the prison during the day.

"Today, you have done well spreading chaos in the city."

"Sir Mitchell has new instructions."

No one knew who took the lead, but everyone knelt on one knee.

"Last night, an explosion occurred in a villa in the suburbs of District Ado Tutelan. You can search for the specific information on your phone."

"Someone triggered that explosion."

"We need to find that person. He is extremely important to us."

"We received some news. After the explosion, the Occult Joint Investigation Committee took the person away for investigation. You can guess what happened next. To find that person, we caused chaos in the city and tried to break into the Investigation Committee's branch and Committee's Secret Prison."

"Unfortunately, we were a step too late. He wasn't secretly imprisoned as we expected, nor did he stay in the branch. Moreover, he disappeared in the chaos."

Luo Xu said in a deep voice, "Now, find that person and bring him to me, no matter the price. But remember, I want him alive. Whoever can do this, Sir Mitchell will personally complete the Fallen ritual for him. Everyone, are there any other questions?"

After hearing the middle-aged man's story, everyone in the bar looked at each other.

Sir Mitchell would personally complete the Fallen ritual!

That was a huge reward!

However, there were too few clues to complete the mission. How could they find the person?

Fang Heng's brows were tightly knitted. No matter how he listened, he felt strange.

A villa?

Explosion?

The person was taken away by the Occult Joint Investigation Committee for investigation.

And the person was still missing?

No way!

The keywords made Fang Heng's heart beat faster.

He vaguely felt that he had guessed the answer.

"Sir Luo Xu, do you have a photo or other information about that person?"

"There's no picture or portrait information, but it wasn't completely fruitless when we attacked the Occult Committee's branch during the day. We found the records from last night and got a name."

The middle-aged man looked around.

"That person's name is Fang Heng."

What?

Yu Jiayuan had been listening to him at first, but she was suddenly shocked. She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Fang Heng beside her.

Fang Heng?

It was him?

Or was it a coincidence?

Hearing his name, Fang Heng's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Yu Jiayuan.

Both parties exchanged glances in the air.

Fang Heng was sure that it was not a coincidence!

That group of Fallen Ones was looking for him!

He stared at Yu Jiayuan closely. If Yu Jiayuan made any strange movements, he would take action immediately.

He was unsure if he could wipe out all of them by summoning two commander-level undead bones and using the aura of the death realm to confuse them. But it should not be a problem for him to escape.

Yu Jiayuan looked at Fang Heng, her expression changing.

After hesitating for a moment, she immediately made a decision.

She pretended not to know and helped Fang Heng hide it.

So what if she said it then and exposed Fang Heng's identity?

Mitchell could be a Polluted close to the pollution source. He could be a C or D-level, or even a B-level pollution.

Even if she were fortunate to have Mitchell as an A-level pollution source, she would only become a B-level Fallen One at most. She would be controlled by Mitchell for the rest of her life!

Yu Jiayuan decided to take a gamble.

There were too many strange things about Fang Heng.

Perhaps he could really help her.

There were more than 30 people in the bar. Luo Xu did not notice the change in Yu Jiayuan and Fang Heng's expressions. He waved his hand and said, "Go. He appeared in the villa area last night. Use all your resources to find him! Inform me immediately if there is any news."

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone immediately scattered.

A game hint appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player's mission has been triggered – Key Character]

Mission name: Key Character

Mission requirements: Please find Fang Heng (1/1) and give Luo Xu the relevant information, or directly bring him back to the bar and hand him over to Luo Xu.

Mission reward: ???

As expected, even the mission had clearly stated that he was the person the Fallen Ones faction was looking for.

1511 The Demon

Yu Jiayuan was extremely nervous. She mixed in with the crowd and left the bar with Fang Heng.

As soon as she turned the street corner, Yu Jiayuan turned her head and stared at Fang Heng.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Fang Heng."

"Are you the person they're looking for?"

Along the way, Fang Heng was also curious about that matter.

He carefully recalled every detail after entering the game. However, he still could not figure out when he was connected to that group of Fallen Ones.

"I was indeed in the villa area last night and saw the explosion. My name is Fang Heng, so in theory, they're looking for me."

"What did you do?"

"I really don't know. I think it's probably related to the explosion last night."

But why? The explosion did have something to do with him, but it shouldn't be to the extent of being hunted down by the entire Fallen Ones faction, right?

And they even exaggeratedly attacked the Occult Joint Investigation Committee?

Fang Heng was puzzled.

He clearly didn't do anything!

"You better not deceive me."

"Of course, but I still have to thank you for not exposing me on the spot."

"If I had any thoughts of becoming a Fallen One, I would have sold you without hesitation. Now, I just want to get rid of the pollution. Now, you owe me one. Are you willing to cooperate? Answer me, yes or no?"

Fang Heng sighed.

It was really troublesome. After the pollution, the official positive organizations in the game were unwilling, and the villain organizations seemed to want to deal with him.

Why did he suddenly become the target of everyone's hatred?

"Of course, we have the same goal. We will work together."

"Alright, I'll take the lead from now on, OK?"

"Alright, let's try it out according to what you said."

Fang Heng raised his hand, indicating that there was no problem.

"OK, follow me."

Yu Jiayuan returned to the car parked by the roadside, started the car, and drove away with Fang Heng.

During that period, Yu Jiayuan had been thinking about how to get rid of the pollution.

Naturally, she had done some preparation work.

However, she had always lacked a helper.

And then, she finally found Fang Heng.

At least for now, she could confirm two things.

Firstly, Fang Heng had corrupt and pollution effects.

Secondly, the Fallen Ones faction was also looking for him. From Fang Heng's performance just now, he did not seem to be on the side of the Fallen Ones.

The pollution was spreading rapidly in her sea of consciousness.

Yu Jiayuan didn't have much time left. She could only take a gamble and choose to believe Fang Heng.

…

At eleven o'clock at night, the Occult Joint Investigation Committee building in District Ado Tutelan was brightly lit.

"Found it!"

The report was printed and sent to the City Council Director Rong Shaoning's hands.

"Trick, the demon of hell…"

Looking at the report's contents, Rong Shaoning's eyes flickered with astonishment.

"Director, we found and recovered the notebook left behind by Edoma Cervantes. We confirmed that Edoma was once a member of the conservative. For some reason, her daughter was polluted and fell. And Edoma…"

"Abandoned, right?"

"Yes, she violated the rules of the conservative, but it was only once. Edoma built a natural science seal in the villa to suppress the demon. Together with the vitality of the Book of Fusion, it completely sealed the demon. All this time, the demon has been suppressed underground."

"So, how did the explosion happen?"

"I'm not sure. Perhaps the seal was triggered, causing an explosion. After the explosion, Trick was reborn."

The villa explosion and Edoma helped organize their thoughts.

But what happened after that?

"Was the chaos during the day directed by the Trick? Why was the exhibition hall attacked?"

The liaison officer shook his head blankly and nodded, "We are still investigating."

While they were talking, another investigator rushed into the room, "Director! I just received an odd piece of information from an insider. I think it might be related to this incident."

"What is it?"

The investigator leaned over and whispered into Rong Shaoning's ear.

"Fang Heng? The Fallen Ones are looking for Fang Heng? Is the news reliable?"

"Yes, Captain."

Rong Shaoning had seen countless reports, so of course, he remembered Fang Heng.

He was the passerby who had been wandering around the villa after the villa explosion last night.

Thinking for a moment, Rong Shaoning immediately said, "Activate the Skynet Platform and release the news to the entire city. Find Fang Heng and bring him back immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

…

In the wee hours of the morning, Shan Fucai picked up the phone in the speeding car.

"Sir!"

"Yes, OK, OK."

"Alright, I understand!"

Shan Fucai's expression changed several times after the call.

He couldn't help but look at Ruan Ziying through the rearview mirror.

"Ruan Ziying, what is your friend's background?"

"Huh?"

Ruan Ziying was stunned. She blinked and then asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Did you find him? Where is he?"

"Not yet."

Shan Fucai shifted his gaze away and focused on the steering wheel, "I just received news that the Fallen Ones are looking for him."

"Ah?"

"It seems he is related to what happened in the villa last night. The attack on the city today is also related to him. That guy must be hiding something from us. Think carefully about where he may be at. We must find him before the Fallen Ones!"

Ruan Ziying was surprised after hearing that.

Huh?

Was it related to Fang Heng?

All the attacks today were caused by Fang Heng?

The whole world was looking for Fang Heng now?

Ruan Ziying gradually realized that Fang Heng's ability to cause trouble exceeded her expectations.

At the same time, in the bar at the end of the alley.

"Heh, Fang Heng, right? After all the fuss, there's only one name and Trick's one-sided story. Can you confirm his identity?"

Luo Xu shook the wine glass filled with ice and said casually, "The Demon race is sensitive to the King's aura. It can't be wrong."

"Who knows?" The bald-headed Sun Zhaoyu, who had a fierce appearance, shrugged, "After being sealed for so long, it's normal for his perception to be wrong. As soon as he came out, he shouted that he had found the new King and asked us to take action immediately. He caused such a huge commotion, but we still didn't find anything…"

"Are you suspecting Trick? Don't forget your identity and do your own thing. Fallen Ones like us have no future."

"Hehe, don't get too worked up. It's just a casual chat. I also hope that Trick is not wrong. The new King is our new hope. By the way, when was the last time we discovered the new King?"

As the two of them were discussing, the sound of a broadcast came from the television.

"Breaking news. After investigation, the suspect, Fang Heng, is strongly related to today's consecutive explosions. The Occult Joint Investigation Committee is doing its best to find Fang Heng and hopes that the general public can provide valuable clues. If you can provide any relevant information and clues, please call…You can receive a reward of up to 50 million. Please remember that your report will help maintain social peace and public safety…"

1512 Ten Great Foundations

"Tsk, those idiots aren't slow either. They've already investigated Fang Heng."

"As expected. Sir Mitchell is still too impatient. Those Corrupted who have not been completely polluted are very unstable, and the news will be easily leaked." Luo Xu shook his head as he said, "It's not his fault. Time is too tight. Once…"

Luo Xu suddenly paused as he spoke. His gaze was fixed on the television in front of him.

The variety channel initially playing on the television was switched to an important news broadcast.

It was a photo of Fang Heng.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Have you become silly?"

As Sun Zhaoyu spoke, he turned around and nudged Luo Xu. His peripheral vision also swept across the television screen.

The two of them fell silent momentarily and then looked at each other.

That face was so familiar!

They had seen it before!

Just earlier on.

Sun Zhaoyu immediately recalled the young man he had met at that time.

Could it be…

They actually missed him!

D*mn it!

"That's right! It was him! I remember that he came with a woman."

"There's still time. Go and investigate that woman. If you find that woman, you'll be able to find Fang Heng."

…

At dawn.

Yu Jiayuan was driving in the city center of District Ado Tutelan.

"After that, I came into contact with pollution."

Halfway through, Yu Jiayuan recounted how she had been polluted.

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded.

He concluded.

Two words could describe Yu Jiayuan's overall performance.

Courting death.

"Fang Heng, time is of the essence. We can't waste even a minute." Yu Jiayuan clenched her fists, "I've seen your public profile on the forum. You're proficient in the magic array and have some understanding of Occult, alchemy, necromancy, and the Holy Spirit, right?"

"I just know a little."

Old Black helped to edit his personal information on the forum.

Fang Heng felt that Old Black had some connection with the person who controlled the forum. So, Old Black helped him complete some of his background information without going through that person.

It would be a little troublesome for ordinary people to edit their information. They would need to go through some verification.

"Alright, my battle plan needs someone who knows alchemy, magic array, and Occult. What level are you in alchemy?"

"Elementary alchemy, max level."

"Enough. What about Occult?"

"Basic Occult, Level 2."

"Not enough."

Yu Jiayuan stopped the car in front of a red street lamp.

She bit her lips and thought momentarily before continuing, "I have less than a week. I'll give you two days at most. You have to raise your Occult to elementary."

"I want to, but how?"

"I have a way, as long as you are willing to cooperate. But let me say this first. The learning process will be extremely dangerous, and you may even die."

Fang Heng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Compared to the pollution, this bit of danger is nothing, right?"

"Alright, it's good you can think that way."

Yu Jiayuan took out her phone and sent a message before starting the car again.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at a corner of the street.

Fang Heng poked his head out of the window and looked.

Not far away, two streets away, was the City Hall, which had been attacked by the Fallen Ones that day.

There were a large number of police officers patrolling there.

"Where are we going?"

"A training institution jointly established by Occult."

"You sure aren't afraid of death."

Yu Jiayuan didn't get out of the car. She just whispered, "We don't have time. We can only take a gamble."

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

After waiting by the roadside for more than ten minutes, a young man poked his head out from behind the building.

He hastened his pace after noticing Yu Jiayuan's car.

"Hey, sis, you're here."

The young man acted as if he was familiar with Yu Jiayuan. He did not forget to wave his hand at Fang Heng in the back seat, "This is the friend you mentioned, right? How should I address you?"

"Fang Heng."

"Not bad. Fang Heng, you're quite amazing. There are people everywhere trying to catch you now. I'm curious to interview you. How did you offend both sides at the same time?"

Fang Heng spread his hands and thought he really wanted to know too.

Yu Jiayuan said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask and get yourself into trouble."

"Hehe, thank you for your reminder. I've been in this industry longer than you. I understand. Alright, I don't care who wants to sneak in. Pay up before getting down to business. You know the rules."

Yu Jiayuan said, "Time is tight. Two days at most. He has to advance to elementary Occult in two days."

"Two days? Are you kidding? This isn't your first time coming into contact with Occult. Let alone two days, two years may not even be enough…"

"Money is not a problem. I only have one request. Complete the advancement of elementary Occult in two days."

He was paid to do things.

Ivanson's expression immediately changed, turning serious as he looked at Fang Heng.

"Are you sure this kid has the ability? And he's not afraid of death?"

Yu Jiayuan nodded.

"Alright, as long as his talent isn't too bad and he's not afraid of death. Theoretically, it shouldn't be a problem for him to complete his advancement in two days. However, let's be frank first. If he dies from it, the money won't be returned. After all, I'm also taking a lot of risks."

Ivanson reached out his hand to Yu Jiayuan, signaling her to pay up.

That money-s*cker!

Yu Jiayuan threw a small pouch at Ivanson, helping Fang Heng pay his 'tuition fees' with a pained expression.

Unfortunately, the introduction of Occult required more time, energy, and money, so Yu Jiayuan could only choose to rely on Fang Heng.

Ivanson took the pouch, opened and looked at it. He beamed with joy, "Alright, friend, come with me. I'll show you what is worse than death in these two days."

Yu Jiayuan also exited the car, "I'll go with you."

"Alright, no problem. We'll guarantee our service to our VIP customers."

Fang Heng saw that the two of them had reached an agreement, so he got out of the car and followed Ivanson along the shadow of the road.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ivanson. You've studied Occult before, right? What level are you at now?"

"Basic Occult, Grade 2."

"Your foundation is not bad. How did you cultivate in the past?"

"Reading."

"Reading? Just by reading?"

"Yes."

Ivanson was getting a little too familiar with Fang Heng. He chatted with Fang Heng along the way to get some basic information.

"Impressive. You are really something to be able to find so many books on Occult. But you're right. Reading is indeed one of the safest and most convenient ways to level up Occult. However, it's still too slow to advance to elementary Occult in two days just by reading. Follow me. We have a faster way to cultivate."

Fang Heng became curious.

"What method?"

"Before I say it, let me test you first. Do you understand the principles of Occult?"

"Yes."

"What are the ten great foundation studies of Occult?"

Fang Heng frowned.

Seeing Fang Heng's hesitation, Ivanson asked suspiciously, "Hey, don't tell me you don't even know this?"

1513 Prayer

"Curse, Talisman, Premonition, Prayer, Sacrifice, Soul, Blood, Control, Ritual, Artifact."

Fang Heng had read many books on Occult, but he had never used them. He kept them in his memory.

As he tried to recall, all sorts of information appeared in his mind.

"'Curse' corresponds to the strength of verbal incantation. 'Talisman' corresponds to the strength obtained through occult runes, magic arrays, and so on. 'Premonition' corresponds to divination, stargazing, and other prophetic abilities. The target of premonition is usually nature and not humans. The detection of the past is also a type of 'Premonition.'"

"'Prayer' is the strength obtained by praying to Gods, bizarre objects, and so on. 'Sacrifice' corresponds to the strength obtained by sacrificing to such creatures."

"'Soul' is the soul's energy, including the soul and so on. 'Blood' refers to the Bloodline, excavating the strength attached to one's Bloodline, such as Bloodline Transformation, Bloodline special skills, and the strength brought about by using one's blood."

"'Control' refers to spiritual control, including Enslavement, Suggestion, Coercion, Mind Control, and so on."

"'Ritual' refers to all kinds of rituals. And lastly, 'Artifact' refers to the means of using external objects. It usually refers to holy weapons and magic weapons."

Fang Heng roughly repeated it based on his memory.

On the whole, Occult was more like a hodgepodge. There was related content for almost every discipline found in Occult.

For example, Necromancy was closely related to Occult's four aspects: Curse, Talisman, Soul, and Control.

The Vampire Bloodline was more related to the Blood and Talisman aspects of Occult.

Seeing Fang Heng answer so smoothly, Yu Jiayuan secretly nodded her head.

It seemed that Fang Heng was quite professional. There was still some hope for her final gamble.

"Not bad, not bad. Looks like you have some foundation."

Ivanson nodded and patted Fang Heng's shoulder to express his satisfaction, "As long as you work hard enough and are ruthless enough, the chances of completing the level up in two days are still very high."

As they spoke, the two of them followed Ivanson into the building where the Occult Joint Training Institution was located after swiping the card. They swaggered into the cargo elevator and went all the way to the security monitoring room in the third basement.

Ivanson whispered something to the two guards in the monitoring room and sent them away.

After everyone left, Ivanson led Fang Heng and Yu Jiayuan to the monitoring platform and pointed at one of the big screens.

"Here. This is the treasure of the Occult Society."

Yu Jiayuan frowned when she saw the glass artifact displayed in the middle of the surveillance monitor.

"Albra's Pupil?"

"Yes, a monster summoned by an Occult Master from another world, the Albra's Pupil. This monster is said to be closely related to Occult and possesses vast knowledge. Occult scholars can obtain Occult-related knowledge by communicating with Albra's Pupil."

Ivanson turned to look at Fang Heng and explained, "This cultivation method corresponds to the 'Prayer' of the Ten Great Foundations of Occult."

"This method is very dangerous. After all, it's very dangerous for a low-level creature to attempt to establish a spiritual link with a high-tier creature. It also consumes a lot of mental strength. You must be careful. It'll be troublesome if you anger Albra's Pupil or your mental strength suffers a backlash. Secondly, you must be careful when dealing with the miscellaneous information that flows into your sea of consciousness along with the knowledge. In short, don't force yourself."

Fang Heng thought about it and roughly understood. He nodded and said, "Alright, I understand."

"Don't take it lightly. Every year, a few people lose their lives here. I'll bring you to change into a new set of clothes later. Just pretend to be an Occult trainer going in to cultivate. If anyone asks, just say that you're new. The teacher is Xin Ke."

"Will it be dangerous?" At that point, Yu Jiayuan was more nervous than anyone else. She asked in a low voice, "Won't there be trouble doing this?"

"Don't worry. It's perilous to cultivate with the help of Albra's Pupil. Very few people will come usually unless they've encountered a bottleneck. Moreover, you need to be fully focused when cultivating, so no one will care who sits next to them."

"As for the outside, there's even less to worry about. It's late at night, and the Occult members have already left. In addition, it's so chaotic outside now. No one will think the dangerous person they're trying to catch is hiding here."

"However, a Scroll King is still in the cultivation field, so I can only bring him in alone. You can wait here."

As he spoke, he walked to the clothes cabinet, took out a set of white training clothes, and threw it to Fang Heng.

"Change your clothes first."

While Fang Heng was changing his clothes, Ivanson looked at Yu Jiayuan, "Have you prepared everything?"

Yu Jiayuan nodded and placed the Short-Term Mental Strength Recovery Potions on the table.

"Not bad. It's enough."

Fang Heng changed into a new set of clothes and walked over to take a look. He immediately smiled bitterly.

More than ten boxes of potions were on the table, and each box contained 48 bottles.

Advanced Mental Strength Recovery Potion.

He recognized that potion.

The effect was excellent, and the price was high.

The problem lay in the effect worsening if one drank too much in a short period, and the subsequent adverse effects would take a long time to clear.

If he were to consume so many potions, it would take at least three years to remove the adverse effects completely.

"So many? Is that necessary?"

"Yes!"

Ivanson nodded solemnly and said, "Take the potions. Let's go."

Soon, Fang Heng changed into a uniform with the symbol of an Occult cultivator, put the potion into the player's backpack, and left the monitoring room with Ivanson.

Like what Ivanson had said, there was not a single person in the cultivation field passage at night.

They took the elevator to the sixth floor. After passing through a long pathway, Fang Heng followed Ivanson into a large cultivation room.

Seeing the scene in the cultivation room, Fang Heng's heart couldn't help but skip.

In the center of the large cultivation field, a large cylindrical glass artifact connected the ceiling and the ground.

There was an eyeball levitating in the middle of the cylindrical glass artifact.

It was not a human eyeball but an orange-red eyeball with yellow whites and vertical pupils.

Albra's Pupil.

It was twice the size of a normal person.

Fang Heng had read about it in a book.

It was a life form from another world regarded as a symbol of knowledge. One could pray to it to obtain knowledge related to the Occult.

As for whether Albra's Pupil would respond or not, that was another story.

Around the glass cylinder were more than ten Occult cultivators in white clothes seated separately. They had their eyes closed, concentrating, and seemed to be in a state of cultivation and prayer.

Swoosh!

The giant-sized eyeball floating in the glass artifact seemed to have perceived something and opened its eyes.

Fang Heng's pupils instantly constricted too.

The Albra's Pupil looked at Fang Heng and slowly closed again.

1514 Establishment

"Albra's Pupil is seen as a product of Occult. Look carefully, observe, and try to establish a link with Albra's Pupil. You can obtain Occult knowledge from it through praying."

"Establishing communication requires a lot of mental strength. We are in a hurry. If you don't have enough mental strength, drink some potion to replenish it."

Ivanson said softly beside Fang Heng, "But you must be careful. You are only at elementary Occult now, so your cultivation time must not exceed three hours. Otherwise, your life will be in danger. If you die here, it will be very troublesome for me. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"And one more thing you must remember. See that red circle?"

Fang Heng looked in the direction where Ivanson was pointing.

A circle was drawn on the ground about three meters from the glass cylinder, surrounding the entire cylindrical glass artifact in the center.

"Albra's Pupil will produce violent fluctuations when humans approach it, so don't go near it. The Occult Society members have set up a large number of alarm devices on the ground, some for humans outside and some for Albra's Pupil. Once you go over, you will trigger the alarm, so don't go near that red line."

"That's all you need to take note of. Do your best. There won't be any problems. Also, I can't stay here for too long. You will stay here on your own to cultivate."

After Ivanson finished his instructions, he patted Fang Heng's shoulder and gestured to the surveillance cameras in every corner of the room with his chin.

"If there's anything, just give me a signal. I'll keep an eye on you in the monitoring room. If anything goes wrong, I'll come over at any time."

"Alright."

Fang Heng answered and watched as Ivanson left. He then slowly walked forward and sat on the ground like the other cultivators, facing Albra's Pupil.

Fang Heng slowly activated his Perception.

Whoosh!

What was that?

Pressure!

Upon activating his Perception, Fang Heng immediately felt a wave of pressure released by Albra's Pupil pressing down on him.

The Coercion that was caused by mental strength.

Albra's Pupil did not release it on purpose.

The intensity was not high, and Fang Heng could easily resist it with his current spirit strength.

After Fang Heng got used to the pressure, he gradually released his mental strength, wrapped it around his Perception, and directed it over. He gradually approached Albra's Pupil and tried to establish a spiritual construct with it to achieve the goal of 'praying' to obtain knowledge.

Due to the special barrier between species, communication between the two was very difficult and required a lot of mental strength.

Fang Heng tried hard, and his heart skipped.

Did he succeed?

It was easier than expected.

The Albra's Pupil in the hall seemed to have been trained countless times. The mental strength required to complete the connection was not as much as he had imagined.

A deep, heavy stream of consciousness was transmitted through the Perception that Fang Heng had just established.

Albra's Pupil had existed in the world for hundreds of millions of years and witnessed the existence of countless Occult knowledge.

Fang Heng tried to convey his request to obtain knowledge.

Soon, a weak information flow was gradually transmitted back through the Perception wrapped in mental strength.

Fang Heng immediately felt awakened and allowed that stream of consciousness to enter his sea of consciousness.

A wave of profound and incomprehensible knowledge surged into his sea of consciousness.

Fang Heng closed his eyes and tried to sense the information.

Soon, Fang Heng found a huge pit.

Most of the information that flowed into his sea of consciousness was useless and messy. Only a portion of it was related to the Occult.

That was troublesome.

He had absorbed too much at once, and the mixed information flow had caused a huge impact on his sea of consciousness!

For a moment, the entire sea of consciousness was somewhat unstable.

He needed a lot of mental strength to clear that unclear and miscellaneous information and simultaneously receive useful knowledge related to Occult. Therefore, Fang Heng immediately cut off the spiritual link with Albra's Pupil and began to digest the information in his sea of consciousness.

The game hint appeared in front of him.

[Hint: The player has prayed and communicated with Albra's Pupil to obtain knowledge. The player has obtained 812 occult experience points.]

[Hint: The player has prayed…]

The game hints popped up on his retina every ten seconds.

Every time, a figure of nearly 1,000 experience points popped up.

If it were an ordinary person, that cultivation speed would be considered fast.

But Fang Heng was different.

The messy Academic Bloodline in his body exceeded the game's limits by too much. The difficulty of leveling up Occult was dozens of times that of ordinary people!

After praying for knowledge from Albra's Pupil, Fang Heng realized that a part of the mixed information that flowed into his sea of consciousness was bizarre and was running amok in his sea of consciousness.

It was very time-consuming to process those obscure and meaningless information streams.

It might not be a problem if he did not deal with it in a short period, but if he allowed it to continue accumulating, his sea of consciousness would be filled with a large amount of information trash, which might damage his sea of consciousness.

Moreover, as the sea of consciousness was filled with more information, the available space would become lesser, and his consciousness would also be affected.

He had to eliminate them quickly.

Fang Heng was well aware of the dangers in the sea of consciousness. He couldn't help but open his eyes and look up at the surveillance camera in the corner of the hall.

Ivanson didn't tell him that such a cultivation method would cause permanent damage to his sea of consciousness if he didn't handle it well.

Fang Heng closed his eyes again and controlled his mental strength to remove the impure energy in his sea of consciousness quickly.

It took him half an hour to finish before Fang Heng opened his eyes again.

No way.

After going back and forth for almost an hour, he had only gained less than 8,000 experience points.

His Occult level hadn't even reached Level 3.

Such a method of gaining experience from praying to the mysterious creature required using the sea of consciousness. He could not use the zombie clone to gain experience in batches like before.

It wasn't suitable to farm experience.

Was there perhaps a better way?

Fang Heng looked at the eyeball levitating in the cylindrical glass artifact in the middle of the room and fell into deep thought.

Once he focused on Albra's Pupil for a moment, relevant information immediately appeared in Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has discovered a special object – Albra's Pupil]

[Hint: The player can try to approach or touch the object to obtain more information.]

Approach?

Looking at the game hint, Fang Heng could not help but look around and stand up.

More than ten Occult students were cultivating in the cultivation hall. Although they were cultivating with a calm mind, any commotion would definitely attract their attention.

Moreover, Ivanson had specifically instructed him not to cross the red line, so Fang Heng did not dare to get too close. He only slowly took a few steps closer to Albra's Pupil.

Fang Heng stared at the eyeball in the glass artifact.

That won't do. It was still too far away. He still could not obtain any information.

Oh right.

There was that!

1515 Anger

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The Alchemy Magic Array's phantom gradually appeared in Fang Heng's right eye.

Omniscient Eyes!

The Pupil of Alchemy could also be used in observation. He could observe from a distance and might even be able to obtain more information.

The next moment, the magic array's phantom spun rapidly in Fang Heng's right eye!

Chi!

What was that sound?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. Following that, he felt a wave of coercion burst out of Albra's Pupil!

What?

His eyes initially closed, suddenly opened, and stared at Fang Heng!

…

Ivanson made two bowls of instant noodles in the monitoring room and handed one to Yu Jiayuan.

"Want some?"

"Thank you. I don't need it."

"Don't worry. It's not fried. You won't get fat after eating it. Women are just too troublesome."

"I have no appetite."

Yu Jiayuan was not in the mood to eat at all. She had been paying attention to the surveillance monitors, her eyes never leaving Fang Heng.

Ivanson shrugged and said, "Forget it. It's useless to be anxious. If that guy is as hardworking as you, he should be fine."

As he spoke, Ivanson put down the cup of instant noodles in his hand and frowned.

"What is he doing?"

On the surveillance monitor, Fang Heng stood in front of the glass artifact that imprisoned Albra's Pupil.

Due to the angle, Fang Heng's back was facing the surveillance camera on the screen, and they could not see his expression.

"How long has he been in this state?"

"Two minutes."

Yu Jiayuan looked nervous.

At first, she thought that Fang Heng was resting, but after being asked that question, she realized something was wrong. She asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"It's hard to say. Let's wait and see."

Ivanson found it strange. He had never seen anyone standing there and staring at Albra's Pupil.

Or did Fang Heng have some special cultivation method?

At that moment, the internal phone in the monitoring room suddenly rang.

Ivanson answered the phone.

"Hello, this is the monitoring room."

"What? We need to conduct a thorough examination if we spot any suspicious person?"

"Okay, yes, I understood."

After hanging up the phone, Ivanson's usual nonchalant look was replaced by a serious one.

"What happened?"

"You guys were discovered when you came."

"Hmm?"

"Previously, you were captured by the surveillance cameras at the city's intersection. After comparison, they have already determined Fang Heng's approximate location. You are also on the list of the Occult Joint Investigation Investigation Committee."

Yu Jiayuan stood up immediately, "We've been discovered? Are they on their way?"

"Not yet. The meeting place I chose avoided the surveillance cameras nearby. They don't know that you're here yet, but they've already confirmed the approximate range of Fang Heng's disappearance. They'll conduct a search in the area around Fang Heng's disappearance, including here."

Yu Jiayuan was a little annoyed.

Recently, there was only bad news.

"What should we do?"

"It's fine. It's just a routine check. This is the Occult Union's territory. Normal checks won't be stringent. Besides, I've already blurred the surveillance records and erased your information. It shouldn't be a problem to avoid them."

Ivanson then looked at the surveillance monitor, "But Fang Heng needs to stop his current cultivation momentarily. Time is tight. Follow me to find Fang Heng. After we find him, I'll immediately take you to find a place to hide."

"Alright."

They discussed for a while before hurriedly leaving the monitoring room and rushing up the stairs.

At the same time, in the cultivation hall, Fang Heng stood in front of the glass artifact and stared at Albra's Pupil in the glass.

The Alchemy Magic Array in his pupils spun rapidly!

Albra's Pupil was also staring at Fang Heng!

Everyone who had stayed in the hall stopped praying and opened their eyes.

They all perceived the strange spiritual fluctuations emitted by Albra's Pupil.

What was that?

The Occult cultivators noticed Fang Heng's odd behavior.

He and Albra's Pupil stood face to face as if in confrontation.

Everyone looked at each other.

They did not know that Fang Heng had snuck in from the outside and thought he was an Occult scholar who participated in cultivation like them.

"Go take a look at him."

A few cultivators who knew each other nodded and carefully tried to approach Fang Heng, trying to figure out what was happening.

They had only taken two steps toward Fang Heng.

Boom!

Suddenly, an invisible mental strength spread out from Albra's Pupil!

Mental shock!

The cultivators' expressions changed drastically.

The impact came too quickly and instantly engulfed everyone!

Almost all the cultivators suffered the impact at the same time. Their sea of consciousness surged, and a few cultivators with unstable foundations immediately groaned and fell down.

Fang Heng also suffered a huge mental shock, and his face turned pale.

He was the primary target of Albra's Pupil!

Under the intense mental shock, he could not even control his body!

A series of game hints appeared on his retina.

[Hint: You have discovered a special life form – Albra's Pupil]

[Hint: The Albra's Pupil is angry with you.]

[Hint: You have received a mental shock!].

[Hint: You have entered a state of spiritual concussion.]

[Hint: The player has been detected to have a special talent – Omniscient Eyes (Alchemy)]

[Hint: The player has triggered a special talent fusion advancement mission: Omniscient Eyes -Occult Fusion].

Mission Name: Omniscient Eyes – Occult Fusion]

Mission Description: Your passive talent, Omniscient Eyes (Alchemy), has stimulated a special induction strength between your own kind. You may be able to fuse with Albra's Pupil's Occult strength.

Mission Requirements: Please defeat and attempt to fuse with Albra's Pupil.

Special Description: Time-limited mission. Please complete this mission within 60 minutes. Otherwise, the mission will fail by default, and the relevant mission will not be activated again.

It was a talent advancement mission?

Fang Heng was shocked when he saw the game hint.

He had never heard of such a mission before.

It might be related to the way to obtain the Pupil of Alchemy talent.

Omniscient Eyes was not an innate talent but obtained from killing high-tier boss characters in the game.

The mission required him to fuse with Albra's Pupil.

It was no wonder after he used the Omniscient Eyes, he felt great hostility from Albra's Pupil!

"Ka ka ka…"

Fine cracks gradually appeared on the glass artifact that imprisoned Albra's Pupil.

In the hall, the Occult cultivators who were affected by the mental shock aftermath helped their companions to stand up. They were greatly shocked when they saw the strange scene before them.

What was going on?

Why did Albra's Pupil mutate?

Was it related to that cultivator before them?

No one dared to get close and slowly retreated.

1516 Hallucinogenic

Fang Heng clenched his jaws.

A mental shock from Albra's Pupil!

A mental shock of an unknown level. An attack directed at the sea of consciousness!

He felt that his sea of consciousness was being stirred up like a storm, and it could be destroyed at any time.

The game hints appeared one by one.

[Hint: The player has received a mental shock effect…]

[Hint: The player has received a skill attack – Stare Attack.]

[Hint: The player has received a spiritual concussion effect.]

[Hint: The player has suffered spiritual trauma, and HP is reduced by 2013 points…]

Things were not good!

A high-tier creature was actually so terrifying!

Fang Heng noticed his surroundings were gradually darkening, and Albra's Pupil was gradually magnifying before him! And magnified again!

It was as vast as a giant planet.

He was like a speck of dust levitating in space, unable to move an inch in the face of such a powerful strength!

[Hint: The player has been attacked by an illusion…]

Illusion!

Fang Heng clearly realized that he was in an illusion.

Everything he saw and felt was fake!

However, he could not break free at all. He could not even bite his lips!

"Boom!"

The glass artifact that imprisoned Albra's Pupil exploded!

"Ring ring ring!"

The entire hall was instantly filled with the ringing of alarms!

The magic arrays that the Occult Research Union had set up around the glass artifact were activated and spun crazily!

Albra's Pupil levitated in mid-air, and the space around it distorted strangely. It forcefully broke through the shackles of the magic arrays and slowly floated toward Fang Heng. Tiny bumps gradually spread out from the eyeball.

The Occult scholars in the hall were dumbfounded.

The artifact had exploded, and the magic array was triggered. Albra's Pupil was completely out of control!

They did not understand what was happening at all. They could not understand why Albra's Pupil would suddenly go berserk and attack a cultivator.

At the same time, the sudden piercing ringing pulled Fang Heng out of the illusion momentarily.

D*mn it!

It was a mental shock!

Fang Heng's gaze regained clarity for a moment.

The magic array the Occult Research Society had built outside the glass artifact for protection saved his life!

However, that only gave him a little breathing space.

Fang Heng's thoughts raced.

With such a big problem, people outside must have heard the alarm, and someone would immediately come over to check.

There was no time left.

He had almost no skills that could deal with spiritual attacks.

He could only run.

That way, he would definitely not be able to obtain Albra's Pupil, and the Omniscient Eyes passive skill would no longer be able to be leveled up.

There was only one way to end it quickly.

"Boom!"

The defensive magic arrays spinning at high speed in front of him exploded!

Albra's Pupil forcefully broke through the seal of the magic arrays and continued to move toward Fang Heng!

[Hint: The player has been attacked by an illusion…]

There it went again!

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Heng had no way out.

Fang Heng's pupils constricted.

He would go all out!

There was no other choice.

Skill – Everlasting Moon!

Out of desperation, Fang Heng used his ultimate skill, Everlasting Moon.

Chi chi!

Closely-packed black tentacles seeped out from Fang Heng's body! Fang Heng was almost instantly enveloped by it!

At the same time, multiple game hints appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has used the skill – Everlasting Moon.]

[Hint: The player has been detected to be currently in a high-tier Sequence World…]

[Hint: Fusing with the current world, the player's skill form has changed. Fusion in progress…]

[Hint: The player's current status has been detected – Occult. Skill fusion in progress…]

[Hint: The player's current environment has been detected. Skill fusion in progress…]

[Hint: The player and the player's teammates have entered the state of Reincarnation.]

[Hint: Everlasting Moon Summoning Skill – Prison: Tongues of Jealousy.]

[Creature: Prison: Tongues of Jealousy.]

Description: ???

Additional skill: ???

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Quagmire!

The black corrupted tentacles quagmire quickly spread out from where Fang Heng was standing!

Scarlet tentacles quickly shot out from the quagmire!

Upon closer inspection, those were not tentacles but twisted tongues!

The Tongues of Jealousy!

The closely-packed tongues darted toward Albra's Pupil!

The spiritual barrier that enveloped Albra's Pupil exploded under the scarlet tongues!

The tongues pierced through and rolled up Albra's Pupil!!

In the blink of an eye, countless scarlet tongues enveloped the entire sphere.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng, wrapped in black tentacles, opened his eyes in his current state.

His right eye was filled with a rapidly spinning Alchemy Magic Array!

As if there was a pulling force, Albra's Pupil, which was tightly controlled by the tongue, was slowly drawn by the strength of the Omniscient Eyes.

Under the surprised gazes of the Occult scholars in the hall, the entire Albra's Pupil was pulled before Fang Heng.

The space around them began to distort.

Albra's Pupil was clearly more than twice the size of Fang Heng!

The entire super-sized eyeball was sucked into Fang Heng's eye in a bizarre way.

"Hu, hu…"

Albra's Pupil was completely devoured in just a few seconds, and the black quagmire on the ground quickly disappeared. Everything returned to calmness, leaving only the alarm ringing in the hall and Fang Heng's heavy breathing.

The game hint appeared in Fang Heng's retina again.

[Hint: The player has successfully defeated Albra's Pupil and obtained an incomplete Albra's Pupil.]

[Hint: The player has successfully absorbed Albra's Pupil.]

[Hint: Fusion in progress…]

[Hint: The player has completed the mission – Omniscient Eyes – Occult Fusion.]

1517 Bandit

After Fang Heng absorbed Albra's Pupil, he immediately exited the Everlasting Moon skill state. Right then, he only felt the pain from the Omniscient Eyes in his right eye, as if it were burnt by fire!

More than ten Occult scholars nearby were scared silly. They stood in a corner far away and looked at Fang Heng, not daring to say a word.

Who was that guy? What was that powerful strength fluctuation just now?

And he…

Did he absorb Albra's Pupil?

Since the use of the Everlasting Moon did not last long, Fang Heng suffered minimal backlash and was almost unaffected. However, due to the leveling up of the Omniscient Eyes, countless miscellaneous information poured into Fang Heng's sea of consciousness!

Under the massive influx of information, Fang Heng felt as if he had been overwhelmed, and his head was extremely dizzy.

Fang Heng shook his head and endured the pain as he scanned through the game hints.

The skill effect of the Everlasting Moon was obvious. The Albra's Pupil had been successfully absorbed, and the skill had been partially advanced compared to before.

It was mainly Alchemy and Occult that had been advanced to high-tier Level 0!

There was also an additional skill, the Hallucinogenic effect.

The conditions to use the Hallucinogenic effect were very strict and did not seem very practical.

As for the Appraisal skill…

He did not know what level the Appraisal was, so he could not determine the actual effect.

"Hey, who are you? What just happened?"

When everything was quiet again in the hall, everyone looked at Fang Heng.

They saw Fang Heng swaying and looked at each other, exchanging glances quickly.

For a moment, everyone realized that no one knew who Fang Heng was and could not help but ask.

Those who could appear there should not be outsiders. A bolder Occult cultivator walked over to Fang Heng, wanting to check on his condition.

"Hey, are you okay? Just now…"

When Fang Heng heard the voice, he suddenly reacted and looked up at the person before him.

Not good!

When he saw many Occult cultivators looking at him strangely in the hall, Fang Heng immediately snapped out of it.

That was troublesome!

Forget about the additional skill after the leveling up of Omniscient Eyes.

Run!

Hurry up and run!

Before the guards outside caught up!

"Hey, brother, you…"

Whoosh!

Fang Heng shook off the man's hand and quickly rushed out of the cultivation hall. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of the cultivators.

The people who stayed in the hall looked at each other and were dumbfounded.

What was going on?

…

At that moment, in the outside world, the investigator in charge of the area inspection was negotiating with the building management personnel.

After all, that was the Occult Union's territory. They were not bold enough to barge in and investigate.

He still needed to communicate with them in advance.

Unexpectedly, just as he was halfway through negotiating with the person in charge, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the building.

The operation team leader, Ai Dong, immediately realized something was wrong. His expression changed immediately, and he shouted, "There's a situation! Team 1 and Team 2, follow me. The rest of you, lock down the building immediately! Request reinforcement from the superiors!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ivanson was rushing toward the cultivation hall with Yu Jiayuan outside the hall. They were going to find Fang Heng at the training ground and then hide together.

Who would have thought that the alarm in the entire building would ring just as they were halfway through?

Yu Jiayuan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a bad feeling. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Ivanson didn't know what exactly happened, but he felt something was wrong.

"The alarm has been triggered. The exact reason is still unknown. This is troublesome. The alarm will attract the attention of the outside investigators of the Occult Joint Investigation Committee. They will definitely search more carefully. It will be troublesome to send them away when the time comes."

"Then what should we do?"

Yu Jiayuan was anxious. Why was she so unlucky that day?

"Don't worry. Let's find Fang Heng first. I'll think of a way."

Ivanson quickened his pace.

However, he had only taken a few steps.

Bang!

At the same time, the two of them felt an extremely intense fluctuation of aura coming from the front.

Ivanson subconsciously reached out to block but was still knocked back a few steps.

The aura only fluctuated for a moment. When he put down his hand, he found Yu Jiayuan curled up by the wall, covering her forehead in pain.

"What's wrong?!"

Ivanson subconsciously stepped forward and wanted to help her up.

"Don't touch me!"

Yu Jiayuan's eyes were bloodshot. She clenched her jaws and shouted, "It's pollution!"

Ivanson was so scared that he pulled back his hand.

A few seconds later, Yu Jiayuan raised her head again. Her forehead was already drenched in a cold sweat!

Pollution!

The pollution in her sea of consciousness was stimulated by some kind of strength and exploded in just a few seconds. Then, it increased explosively!

Yu Jiayuan even thought that she was done for.

Fortunately, that strange strength came suddenly but dissipated very quickly.

Yu Jiayuan breathed heavily. She sensed the pollution in her sea of consciousness, and her face turned pale.

In just an instant, her remaining time was shortened by three days!

What exactly happened?

Yu Jiayuan supported her weak body against the wall and stood up, thinking calmly.

There must be an extremely high-tier Fallen One approaching!

He had affected her pollution!

Based on the current situation, the Fallen One was most likely there to chase after Fang Heng!

"Let's go!"

Gritting her teeth, Yu Jiayuan shouted and urged Ivanson to continue forward, "Hurry! Find Fang Heng! Immediately!"

"Hey, can you really do it? Don't force yourself…"

Yu Jiayuan had just stumbled forward and turned two corners when suddenly, a figure appeared from the right side of the passage ahead.

It was Fang Heng, who was stumbling toward them.

Ivanson was stunned when he saw who it was.

Was it Fang Heng?

What was going on with those two?

Why did he look like he was seriously injured and stumbling?

"Fang Heng, what's going on? Why are you here?"

Before Ivanson could ask further, the two heard Fang Heng shouting, "We will talk about it later! Hurry up! Leave this place! Immediately!"

"D*mn! What did you do?"

Ivanson had a bad feeling. He quickly realized that the alarm from before was very likely caused by Fang Heng. He cursed and led them to the other side of the pathway, "Follow me!"

The three of them ran toward another passage.

"Fang Heng, what happened?"

"I ran into some trouble. It's quite a big trouble and a long story."

Fang Heng did not know what to say.

If he were to be truthful, it would be he had packed and taken Albra's Pupil with him after fusing with it.

It sounded like an act of robbery.

Ivanson was anxious. Why was he still wishy-washy at such a time?

"Then make it short. Hurry! I'm going to evaluate what you've done and consider whether I should run. Do you understand?"

1518 On The Run

Fang Heng pondered for a while and phrased it in a more acceptable manner, "Yes, I understand. Don't be anxious. In short, it was Albra's Pupil. It seemed to have been agitated. To save our lives, I took it with me."

"Huh?"

Ivanson slowed down and looked at Fang Heng as if he was a monster.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand!"

"Simply put, they think I took Albra's Pupil."

Ivanson opened his mouth.

Yu Jiayuan also turned her head and looked at Fang Heng with a surprised expression.

She never expected to hear such a ridiculous answer from Fang Heng.

He was brought to the cultivation field to cultivate, but what was he trying to do, taking other's cultivation artifact with him?

"D*mn it!"

The smile on Ivanson's face disappeared completely. He cursed and quickened his pace, shouting, "More money! F*ck! You must pay more. Yu Jiayuan, let me tell you, if you don't pay more, this matter won't end!"

"The money you gave me is barely enough for me to run away. According to the current situation, I'll be wanted by the whole world for the rest of my life. You must pay me ten times more! Otherwise, I'll report you! I'll drag you down with me!"

It was just a random statement when Ivanson shouted that he would drag them down with him.

But it was true that he wanted Yu Jiayuan to pay more.

Ivanson finally understood how Fang Heng managed to get everyone to chase after him.

It was a miracle that that guy could survive until then.

Yu Jiayuan knew about Ivanson's difficulty, and she could empathize with him. She also knew that she could only rely on Ivanson to escape. She immediately said in a deep voice, "Alright, after we get out, I'll give you ten times!"

"Tsk, it is still a huge loss this time round!"

Ivanson complained as he led the two of them down the emergency elevator to the third floor. Then, they walked through a window on the third floor to the building on the east side.

Through the window, Fang Heng saw a large group of uniformed police officers gathered outside.

A large number of police reinforcements were gathering rapidly toward the building.

If he were alone, it might not be difficult to escape. He could just fly away in his vampire bat form.

"Fang Heng, quick, stop looking and follow me!"

"OK."

Fang Heng followed Ivanson down the stairs and quickly left the building through a hidden emergency exit.

Seeing they were about to leave the exit, Ivanson slowed down and gestured for the two to keep quiet. Then, he carefully peeked out from behind the wall.

Not good!

There were still two police guarding the passage opening.

Yu Jiayuan also saw the guards and whispered, "What should we do?"

"D*mn it, even this place is being watched. Usually, there's no one here."

"Should we change to another place?"

Ivanson shook his head, "It's useless. If people are guarding even this place, the investigation team must have sealed the other places. Since it's already like this, we might as well take them out by force and run away."

Fang Heng and Yu Jiayuan looked at each other.

"Attack!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two of them dashed out from behind the wall.

"Who's there?"

When the two investigators saw two figures jump out from behind the wall, they were instantly shocked and pressed the alarm button almost at the same time.

The investigator felt the figure in front of him blurred, and then the figure disappeared. Before he could look for the figure, a huge wave of strength surged from behind.

"Bang!"

On the other side, Yu Jiayuan also easily knocked out the police officer.

Ivanson shouted as he ran, "Retreat! The alarm has been triggered. Hurry up! Run!"

Fang Heng and Yu Jia immediately followed

The three of them jogged all the way until they left the building and to a dark corner three streets away before stopping.

Ivanson panted heavily and took two steps back, indicating that he would completely cut ties with the two.

"Alright, that's it. Hurry up and transfer the money you promised me to my account! We need to be on the run next, but we won't be going together. Goodbye!"

Then, he left without looking back, leaving Fang Heng and Yu Jiayuan standing there, looking at each other.

Yu Jiayuan looked at Fang Heng, a little speechless.

What was that about?

Not to mention that she had lost a large sum of money, Fang Heng also only practiced Occult for a few hours. They had barely escaped from the building and were now facing the Occult Joint Investigation Committee head-on.

She was destined to be on the official blacklist.

What made Yu Jiayuan even more depressed was that she had suffered an unknown impact in the pathway previously. Her degree of pollution had increased again, and she was estimated to have only three days left!

What a loss!

She knew that she couldn't completely blame Fang Heng. It was also unexpected for the police to be able to track them there.

Listening to the incessant ringing of alarms in the building behind her, Yu Jiayuan took a deep breath and suddenly felt that her future was bleak.

In such a situation, finding an opportunity to learn Occult was extremely difficult!

It was almost impossible!

Yu Jiayuan couldn't help but look at Fang Heng, her tone filled with blame, "What happened at the cultivation field? You promised to do as I said, and now it turns out like this?"

"Ahem, sorry. I made a mistake when I was learning Occult. It's indeed my problem." Faced with questioning, Fang Heng coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. He could understand Yu Jiayuan's feelings.

It was already good enough that she didn't go bonkers.

"But I have a piece of good news. I didn't managed to tell you since we were in a hurry just now."

"What?"

"I've already completed the advancement in Occult."

Moreover, it was a high-tier.

Fang Heng added in his heart.

Hearing that, Yu Jiayuan stared at Fang Heng. She suddenly felt like she had gone from hell to heaven, and her entire body was filled with strength.

"Are you serious? You're not lying to me?!"

"Of course."

"Good! That's great!"

Yu Jiayuan excitedly bumped her fist against her palm!

Right then, she had no time to think about how Fang Heng did it.

It was not important!

She no longer had the energy to think about those things.

There was still time! There was still time!

"Let's go! We'll proceed to the next step immediately!"

"OK. Where are we going?"

As Yu Jiayuan walked forward, she lowered her head and fiddled with her phone to look for a trustworthy dealer. She replied, "Find people to borrow money and buy materials."

…

In the wee hours of the morning.

Shan Fucai had been busy for an entire day and night.

He just returned to the headquarters to arrange the information. He had just sat down and turned on the computer when he received news about Fang Heng's appearance. He hurriedly called Ruan Ziying to rush to the training base of the Occult Society.

Fortunately, the headquarters was not far from the training base of the Occult Society.

Inside the training base building, a group of police officers had already arrived one step ahead. They were protecting the scene and conducting an investigation.

Seeing Shan Fucai come over, an investigator walked over and whispered, "Sir, it's confirmed. It's Fang Heng. We just found a high concentration of pollution reaction in the cultivation field. We are already evacuating the people."

Shan Fucai frowned, "High concentration of pollution? Was it a pollution source? Or were there other Fallen Ones around?"

1519 Traces

"At present, there are no traces of other Fallen Ones. The specific situation is still under investigation. A few eyewitnesses have been brought down to make statements."

"According to them, Fang Heng appeared in the cultivation field alone at some point. After that, the Albra's Pupil used for training in the base fluctuated. At that time, they did not know that the person was the wanted Fang Heng. Later, they saw Fang Heng absorb the Albra's Pupil and take it away…"

"Hmm? Albra's Pupil? He took it?"

Hearing that, Shan Fucai was shocked.

He also knew that Albra's Pupil was used for cultivation and was extremely dangerous.

What was going on with Fang Heng? How could he snatch such a dangerous thing away?

What was even stranger was why would he take that thing away for no reason?

Shan Fucai's mind was filled with question marks. He couldn't help but turn to look at Ruan Ziying.

Ruan Ziying also opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

Fang Heng did it?

She didn't know anything!

Shan Fucai nodded, "Let's go. Bring me to the scene."

"Alright, there are still remnants of pollution at the cultivation field. Please be sure to protect yourself, Sir."

Ruan Ziying also followed Shan Fucai and the others into the cultivation field to investigate.

Soon, everyone entered the cultivation field.

Looking at the dilapidated hall of the cultivation field that seemed to have gone through a calamity, Ruan Ziying muttered in her heart.

What a scene.

Was Fang Heng really the one who did it?

It hadn't been long since he entered the Watts game world and it had turned out like that?

Had they even started to snatch?

Were all the players in the low-tier game world so overbearing?

Ruan Ziying suddenly had the misconception that she was old and couldn't keep up with the times.

Shan Fucai observed his surroundings briefly. He frowned and asked, "How did Fang Heng get in here?"

"It's still under investigation. We speculate that he might have bribed the security personnel here."

Beside him, the person in charge of the training base was brought over by an investigator.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man who looked gentle. He kept wiping his sweat with a wet tissue and said, "Albra's Pupil was summoned by the Occult Joint Investigation Committee from another world a long time ago. It has always been very calm and has never had any accidents in the past. Now that such a thing has happened, I don't even know how to answer for it…"

"Our people saw with their eyes that the fluctuations from Albra's Pupil only appeared after Fang Heng appeared. He must have used some method to absorb the Albra's Pupil and took it. Please find Fang Heng! You must find Albra's Pupil!"

Ruan Ziying listened carefully and swallowed her saliva.

Not long ago, she had just asked the company for information about Fang Heng offline. She knew about Fang Heng's history and that Fang Heng had just sold many supplies to their Starfish Company a few days ago.

A strange thought suddenly popped up in Ruan Ziying's mind.

Fang Heng couldn't be planning to steal the Albra's Pupil and sell it to their Starfish Company, right?

What the hell.

Albra's Pupil was a valuable item!

If that were the case, they really couldn't resist that temptation!

"OK."

Shan Fucai nodded and asked, "What other uses does Albra's Pupil have besides cultivation? Think about it carefully. Do you know why Fang Heng wanted to snatch it away?"

"It's hard to say. Albra's Pupil is a symbol of ancient wisdom. It contains a large amount of Occult knowledge, so it has always been used for cultivation. Ah, right, it's an ancient wonder. It has great power and might be used for some kind of sacrifice."

Shan Fucai frowned even more. He recorded it in his notebook and turned to look at Ruan Ziying.

Ruan Ziying made an innocent expression.

She was really innocent.

Who knew that Fang Heng could really cause so much trouble?

"That friend of yours doesn't seem as harmless as you say."

After that incident, Fang Heng's danger level in the Occult Joint Investigation Committee was adjusted from C-level to S-level.

To be able to take away Albra's Pupil and be safe and sound, that strength was enough to make the investigation committee pay attention to it.

Ruan Ziying's lips twitched, but she didn't know what to say. She could only continue to express her innocence and smile bitterly.

Things were completely out of control.

Fang Heng had single-handedly turned the entire District Ado Tutelan upside down.

She only hoped that Fang Heng could return in two days and not stay to cause trouble for her.

"Sir!"

An investigator rushed over.

"We just analyzed the pollution. The report shows that it's a pollution reaction never seen before. It's extremely special…"

Never seen before?

Pollution source?

That clue made Shan Fucai realize that something was wrong.

He lowered his head to look at the notebook covered in scribbles and scratched his hair in frustration.

There were too many clues, and it was too messy.

One moment, it was the conservative Edoma Cervantes who violated the taboo. The next moment, it was the Phoenix Firs. Then, the Fallen Ones were hunting Fang Heng. Now, it was Albra's Pupil…

However, in conclusion, it seemed that apart from the Phoenix Firs, which had no direct connection with Fang Heng for the time being, everything else was related to Fang Heng.

He had to find Fang Heng!

Shan Fucai had a feeling that once he found Fang Heng, everything would be answered.

"Report!"

"Come in."

"Sir! There is news! Skynet found clues about the woman who left with Fang Heng. The woman's name is Yu Jiayuan. She is an astrologer and a registered Occult member. This is the file with her information."

The investigator walked over and handed the photocopied files to them.

Ruan Ziying also flipped through Yu Jiayuan's file.

She soon realized that Yu Jiayuan was a player.

"We've already tracked Yu Jiayuan. We just found her car and are currently tracking it."

"Alright, don't alert the enemy. Set up an ambush and continue tracking her. Keep an eye on her. This time, we must get them at one go."

There was finally a breakthrough! Shan Fucai narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "If we find Yu Jiayuan, we can find Fang Heng."

Furthermore, after adjusting the danger level, it would be the combat team of the Occult Investigation Joint Committee that would encircle and capture Fang Heng.

Fang Heng would never be able to escape!

…

Three hours later.

Under the pursuit of the Occult Joint Investigation Committee and the Fallen Ones, Yu Jiayuan hid with Fang Heng all the way, looking for people to trade, and finally gathered the last part of the materials.

Fang Heng watched Yu Jiayuan spend money like water.

In the end, the car stopped beside an abandoned unfinished building in the suburbs.

The two of them got out of the car and went up to the third floor of the unfinished building.

"That should do it. Let's do it here."

Yu Jiayuan looked around, took an old sheepskin scroll from her backpack, and handed it to Fang Heng.

"Hold it."

"Oh? What treasure is it?"

Fang Heng took the sheepskin scroll from Yu Jiayuan, and the game hint appeared before him.

1520 The Demon Imp

[Hint: The player has obtained a special Item – Demon: Imp Summoning Ritual (Goatskin Scroll) (No. of remaining times to learn: 1/3)

Description: A Demon: Imp Summoning Ritual passed down from the School of Occult. The player can learn the Demon: Imp Summoning Ritual through the Goatskin Scroll.

Prerequisite: Intermediate Alchemy (Level 10) and mid-tier Occult (Level 10).

Additional Description: The player can also use this scroll to set up a magic array. In that state, the player must meet the requirements of Elementary Alchemy Level 3 and Elementary Occult Level 3 (Each time the scroll is used to summon or learn a skill, the number of times you can use the scroll will be reduced).

Special Description: This skill is only effective in certain special worlds. The success rate of using this skill in other worlds will be greatly reduced.

Fang Heng looked at the Goatskin Scroll's description and then at Yu Jiayuan.

"Summon? A Demon Imp?"

"Yes, you don't have to worry about anything else. Just complete the ritual and summon the Imp. Leave the rest to me."

"Alright then."

Fang Heng grabbed the Goatskin Scroll and activated his mental strength.

"Whoosh!"

The Goatskin Scroll was instantly covered in dark blue flames.

The Goatskin Scroll burned quickly and turned into ashes in front of them.

A dense flow of knowledge and information flowed into Fang Heng's sea of consciousness.

[Hint: The Imp Summoning Ritual (Goatskin Scroll) has been consumed three times. It has been destroyed.]

[Hint: The player has obtained a special summoning ritual – Demon: Imp Summoning Ritual.]

Fang Heng closed his eyes and sensed the information flow in his mind. He raised his head and asked, "Are the spellcasting materials ready?"

"Yes."

"Then let's get ready to begin."

Fang Heng walked to an open space and made a rough estimate in his heart.

"No problem. We'll do it here."

Fang Heng squatted down as he spoke and drew two circles on the ground, one big and one small.

"The ritual requires the caster's blood."

"I'll do it."

Yu Jiayuan was already prepared. She walked forward and cut her wrist.

Fresh blood kept dripping into the sacrificial bottle that was prepared beforehand.

Fang Heng dipped his pen in the blood and drew the patterns of the Alchemy Magic Array on the ground.

As the drawing materials were mixed with blood, the entire magic array gave off a strange glow.

"A summon connecting to hell is one of this world's taboos. Breaking the taboo will cause one's spirit to be polluted. When the pollution reaches a certain level, it will cause corrupt or madness."

"For those who have already been polluted, breaking the taboo will speed up the pollution of our sea of consciousness."

Yu Jiayuan could clearly feel the pollution spreading in her sea of consciousness.

Fight to the death!

To catch up, she had reserved three days for the pollution to spread.

"We're about to summon the Imp from hell. It's recorded in the books of Occult that Demon Imps are creatures from hell's lowest level. They are born with Chaos attributes and will tempt people to commit crimes. They represent the strength of evil."

"Someone once summoned an Imp and signed a contract with it. He used the Imp to eliminate the pollution and avoided becoming a Fallen One."

"Of course, we have to pay a price for this."

Yu Jiayuan slowly said, "No matter how high the price is, it's still better than becoming a Fallen One."

That was the last gamble!

Fang Heng did not say anything. He just listened quietly and concentrated on setting up the magic array ritual.

As the last stroke was drawn to complete the construction of the Alchemy Magic Array, the entire magic array began to spin rapidly.

Fang Heng quickly stood up and took a few steps back.

"Ka ka ka…"

Crimson spatial cracks appeared in the space above the spiraling magic array.

The cracks slowly spread.

Yu Jiayuan stared at the cracks and prayed in her heart.

Success! They had to succeed!

At the same time, outside the abandoned building.

Team 7 members of the investigation team gathered around the abandoned building.

"Sir, they've been inside for ten minutes. Suspects Fang Heng and Yu Jiayuan are confirmed to be in the abandoned building. Reinforcements will arrive within five minutes."

"Alright, don't act rashly before the reinforcements arrive. The enemy's strength is unknown and extremely dangerous. Make sure to seal off the surroundings. We must definitely…"

As he spoke, Shan Fucai's expression changed, and he turned his head to look toward the building.

A dark red light seeped out from the third floor of the abandoned building!

Not good!

The strength of the spatial fluctuations…

Damn it!

It was a ritual!

A ritual to connect to hell!

They had broken a taboo!

All the operation team members looked at the third floor of the abandoned building with solemn expressions.

Those who dared to break the taboo were undoubtedly the most dangerous!

Ruan Ziying stared at the building before her and unconsciously clenched her fists.

Fang Heng.

What was he doing?

Didn't he say he only came to learn Natural Science? Why did he even attempt the forbidden ritual?

How dare he?

Shan Fucai looked at the dark red in the distance and suddenly felt bad.

That was bad.

Connecting it to the stolen Albra's Pupil incident, an extremely terrifying thought appeared in his mind.

Could it be that they wanted to hold a sacrificial ritual?

Rituals required the sacrifice of ancient wonders, so they had gone to the Occult training base first to obtain Albra's Pupil.

Shan Fucai's forehead broke out in cold sweat.

Those two lunatics!

What were they trying to do?

What kind of high-tier ritual required the sacrifice of an ancient wonder?

No! He couldn't wait any longer! They had to be stopped!

Shan Fucai waved his hand.

"Act immediately! Pay attention to self-protection and stop them from holding the ritual!"

Ruan Ziying was about to follow him, but Shan Fucai stopped her, "Wait! You stay here!"

…

On the third floor of the abandoned building.

"Chi!"

Above the spiraling magic array, a red-headed creature squeezed out of the void crack.

A Demon Imp!

Its huge head occupied most of its body, and its body looked a little like a newborn human baby. It had dark red wings on its back, short horns on its forehead, and a long tail on its back. Its limbs were extremely thin.

The Demon Imp floated in the air, grinning and revealing its sharp fangs. Its ankles were tied with a red iron chain.

Looking closely, the other end of the iron chain was connected to a crimson void crack.

"Gagaga, human! Why did you summon the great Michelle!"

Fang Heng raised his head and observed the Demon Imp before him. He then looked at Yu Jiayuan beside him and signaled for her to take the lead.

Seeing that the summoning was successful, Yu Jiayuan's eyes flashed excitedly. She stepped forward and stood before Fang Heng, saying, "Great Lord Michelle, our spirits have been polluted. We want to remove the pollution. For this, we are willing to pay a hundred pure souls as the price."

"Oh ho!"

When the Demon Imp heard pure souls, its eyes lit up.

"No! Foolish mortal, do you think a hundred pure souls will be enough to make Lord Michelle work for you? No! A thousand! I want a thousand pure souls!"
