From the end of the world

Chapter 152 Another Fragment of the Divine Seal 2
Now I can confirm that there is a fragment of the divine seal in this abandoned research facility.

Considering the connection between the Monster Maker and this place, and the possibility that Ying Lingyun possesses the fragment of the divine seal, it can basically be determined that the fragment of the divine seal in the abandoned research facility belongs to Ying Lingyun.

It's just that I can't figure it out.

Why would such a precious item as the fragment of the divine seal be placed in such a deserted place? Normally, it would not be excessive to guard it strictly. Even if you don't want to be considered as trying to hide something, you wouldn't leave it so casually, right?

I tried to find the exact location of the fragment of the divine seal, while Lu Youxun continued to ask me about the situation on the other side of the portal.

I definitely couldn't tell him about the fragments of the divine seal, but other things didn't matter. I described the scene I saw in detail.

According to my perception, the abandoned research facility is at least hundreds of kilometers away from Xianshui City where we are, and it is no longer in our province. A small portal can actually lead to such a distant place. If this can be popularized among the people, I don’t know what kind of transportation revolution it will bring.

After listening to my description of the scene over there, Lu Youxun's expression gradually became strange and gloomy.

"Zhuang Cheng, is there a name of the facility written at the entrance to the abandoned research facility?" he asked, "Can I take a look?"

I followed his instructions and took a look at the Firefly. There was a horizontal stone tablet at the entrance with the name of the abandoned research facility written on it. It was claimed to be a drug research institute of a certain group.

After hearing the name, Lu Youxun's facial muscles twitched a few times and his expression became distorted.

After a moment, he calmed down and said, "That's the old base of the Humanitarian Department. ... I was captured there in the past."

Hearing this, Zhu Shi's expression changed slightly, and Ma Zao couldn't help but look at Lu Youxun.

My mentality suddenly changed when I looked at the abandoned research facility - the old base of the Humanitarian Department.

What was originally an unsettling place like a desolate haunted place has now become even more chilling, as if one can vaguely hear the howls, blood, tears and despair that echoed here in the past.

Was Lu Youxun imprisoned and tortured in a place like this by the Humanitarian Department in the past?

"After I escaped from that base, I immediately contacted Luo Shan to wipe out the Humanitarian Department forces there. Unfortunately, they reacted a step too fast. When Luo Shan's Wu Chang arrived there, they had already used large-scale space transfer to retreat, and no valuable items or clues were left behind." Lu Youxun said expressionlessly, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would have contact with that place again."

Zhu Shi asked doubtfully, "But why would the Monster Maker transport the 'clinic' equipment and facilities to an abandoned base?"

"Maybe he used it as a transfer station." Lu Youxun said calmly, "He may have anticipated the exposure of the teleportation location, so he did not directly connect the portal to the real base, but added a transfer link in the middle. As for why he chose that place, it is easy to understand. On the battlefield, artillery shells rarely fall into the same crater. The abandoned base that has been checked is actually Luo Shan's darkest place."

"He could even foresee the current situation?" Zhu Shi was stunned.

I don't think the Monster Maker would have anticipated the appearance of someone like Maha who could recreate his portal, but he must have thought of the situation of "I don't know what happened, but I failed anyway."

This is a precedent.

Last time, the Monster Maker didn't expect that I would be able to unconditionally enter the fire element form and break free from the restraints, but he still took this as a premise and spent a lot of effort in advance to prepare a trump card killer move that would directly attack my soul.

Be prepared for even the impossible possibilities, this is Ying Lingyun's style.

In the past, he found the possibility of victory in the impossible and killed the great demon Yin Yue.

As an enemy, he's a very difficult character.

But this time, he miscalculated again.

Although we don't know why fragments of the divine seal appeared in the old base of the Humanitarian Bureau, based on the analysis of existing clues, the inference that this place is a transfer station should be correct.

Ma Zao is the ultimate hunter, and the opponent's method of adding transfer stations is just delaying time.

Since the monster maker used a portal to prevent being tracked at the "clinic", he probably used one at the transfer station as well. However, this method was useless no matter how many times it was used. If there was a portal, he would pry it open. If there was no portal, he would just track normally. In addition, with the disaster-inducing effect of Ma Zao, the opponent would be chased no matter where he ran to.

The problem is that Ma Zao can only reproduce the portal once in a short period of time, and there is no way for her to open the portal there for the time being.

It shouldn't be a problem to just take her to the old base of the Humanitarian Division hundreds of kilometers away. I just need to teleport myself there first, and then let her use the sticker mark on my body to teleport herself there as well.

I believe she can also find out some important information there. After all, it was the former base of the Humanitarian Department, and it is very likely that experiments related to monsters were conducted there, and there must be clues related to the end of the world.

But even the "clinic" has set up anti-divination means, not to mention the old base. If we do that, we will probably only get clues that have been chopped into pieces by the anti-divination means. And Ma Zao's jinx physique is ultimately a physique that leads him to disaster. We can't expect this bad luck phenomenon to be kind enough to piece together all the valuable information we want. Besides, there is no external time limit pressure now, and the object of investigation is the entire building. There is no way to estimate how long it will take to piece together the clues. If we can trace the real base of the Humanitarian Department, it is naturally better to do so. And if we set off now, it is likely to alert the enemy.

Given the caution of the monster maker, he would not be so careless about the transfer station that might be exposed. He must have set up some detection means there. Now I am just controlling the "firefly" to scout there, so it is possible that I will not be noticed. Once I and Ma Zao go into battle in person, it will definitely stimulate Ying Lingyun behind the scenes.

It is true that Ying Lingyun cannot escape Ma Zao's pursuit, but he certainly has no shortage of means to delay time. If we let him open portals everywhere to escape and delay for several months, or even escape with all the personnel and supplies of the Humanitarian Department through the large-scale space transfer mentioned by Lu Youxun, then we might as well give up on him and the Humanitarian Department.

I am not so arrogant as to think that such a huge organization as the Humanitarian Department would be afraid of Ma Zao and I, but they would definitely be afraid that their hiding place would be exposed to the sight of Luo Shan's forces.

If it weren't for that tricky soul trauma, Ma would have used "Reappearance" one after another, and by then Ying Lingyun would not even be able to delay time.

As expected, I still have to help Ma Zao overcome his spiritual trauma first - just as this thought came to my mind, Lu Youxun suddenly spoke to Ma Zao.

"As long as you can reproduce the portal continuously, you can find out the real base of the Humanitarian Department, right?" There was an extremely strong heat in his eyes.

Seeing this obsessive look, Ma Zao frowned and said, "Yes."

He nodded and turned away, saying, "I see."

"Wait, what did you understand?" Zhu Shi was surprised.

"I will apply for material support from Luo Shan and get the magic props from the warehouse that can bear the soul burden on behalf of the user." He said.

"Ah? We have such rare magic props?" Zhu Shi asked puzzledly.

"As long as it's not a magic item that can't be realized in principle, Luo Shan has almost all of them." He said, "If you really can't apply for it, then try another one, such as an item that can greatly reduce the user's soul burden, or a substitute item that transfers the damage when the user's soul is damaged... Luo Shan's family is big and powerful, so there must be something that can help her now."

His tone revealed his firm determination to achieve his goal: "Wait for me here for two hours at most. I will definitely come back with results."

As he spoke, he walked towards the exit of the "clinic".

"I am coming too!"

God knows what the other party will bring back in the end. Zhu Shi seemed worried and chased after him.

Only Ma Zao and I were left here.

"...What should I do?" Ma Zao turned and looked at me.

"Let's wait for good news from Lu Youxun," I said. "His absence will be a good opportunity for me to show my talents."

With that, I entered the fire elemental form.

Seeing that I was suddenly on fire, Ma Zao asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?"

"There are fragments of the divine seal in the old base of the Humanitarian Department." I said, "I want to find it."

After saying that, I focused all my attention on the "firefly" at the old base of the Humanitarian Department.

The fragment of the divine seal is just a stone-sized substance. If I put it in the huge old base of the Humanitarian Division, I can't find it even if I search for a whole day. This is of course because I can't release too many "fireflies" in my normal form, but also because my consciousness processes information very slowly in my normal form.

Now, my consciousness processing speed has soared a thousand times, and my ability to sense heat is far beyond my normal self. I don't even need to summon a large number of "fireflies". With the "fireflies" in the old base of the Humanitarian Department as the center, my perception is like a flood sweeping in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, my thermal perception covered all areas within a radius of one kilometer. Not only the old base of the Humanitarian Department, but even the surrounding woods were within the range of my perception.

Including the inside of the walls and floors, the middle of the tree trunks, and under the soil, nothing can escape my sight. Even if I have that thought now, this area will instantly fall into a sea of ​​​​destruction, and everything will be reduced to ashes under my gaze.

This range is still not my limit, but now it’s enough to expand my perception to this extent.

I concentrated all my attention on finding the whereabouts of my target.
