From the end of the world

Chapter 205 Invasion
The fragments of the divine seal, which were the core lifeline of this place, were no longer there, and the power of restarting had also become rootless water, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

In my perception, this secret base building was shattered and disappeared like the moon reflected in the water, and even this laboratory was torn into pieces. The void and darkness poured in from the gaps like a tide and submerged everything. I turned around and looked at the girl Lu Chan, and she was also looking at me silently. We didn't say anything to each other.

The independent reality space has come to an end, but in my heart, there are still some mysteries that have not been solved.

Why did the girl Lu Chan appear in this place? Even though this independent reality space seemed like a dream to Dr. Silver Mask, Chen Long, and me, it was still an undoubted reality for others, including the girl Lu Chan. Even with the National First-Class Demon Hunter Medal as the source, the girl Lu Chan, who was the incarnation of dreams, could not appear in reality. The obsession left by the past Lu Chan should not be manifested.

In any case, I probably won't have the chance to explore the answer again, and the truth will be buried in the darkness along with this space.

Darkness overwhelmed my vision and consciousness.

Then, my consciousness automatically returned to the real world, to the "clinic" of the monster maker. Lu Youxun, Zhu Shi, and Ma Zao were all standing beside me, while the demon hunter team brought by the magic gun was waiting outside the door without saying a word.

What happened there was really like a big dream. After waking up from the dream, there was an indescribable emptiness and melancholy in my heart. However, I can still confirm the huge "slag" hidden in the flames after killing Chen Long. This is the ironclad proof that those experiences were not false.

Until now, I still don't understand what the "slag" is used for. However, perhaps because I have obtained more and more "slag", the inexplicable premonition in my heart is becoming clearer and clearer. This is definitely a good thing, a treasure that can greatly enhance superpowers, and the value contained in it is far beyond the reach of the Outer Path Impermanence Sword.

"——The independent reality space has been destroyed."

I said this the first time.

Lu Youxun immediately perked up and announced, "The action begins!"

Then, Ma Zao took action. In her left hand, she held a skull carved from brown wood, which was the item that Lu Youxun had given her earlier to bear the soul load on behalf of the user; and her right palm was facing the center of the front hall, activating the power of the blessing of return.

"All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows—"

She chanted this sentence like a mantra.

Dark and strange fog emerged from nowhere, forming a portal. Because she was in poor condition last time, what she reproduced was only a cave that could barely pass through; now she didn't need to worry about the soul load, and the portal she reproduced was the same size as the one opened by the monster maker in the past, with a diameter of more than two meters, so she could drive a car in.

The eyes of the wooden skull prop glowed red, and its mouth opened and closed repeatedly, clearly bearing the burden of her soul. She turned to look at the demon hunters, who all took action at the same time, extremely quickly and in an orderly manner, rushing into the black mist vortex one after another.

In the end, we all entered the other side of the black fog vortex.

Through some "fireflies" that were previously set up at the old base of the Humanitarian Department, I was able to grasp the changes that had taken place on the other side before passing through the portal. As the independent reality was completely destroyed, the space where the old base was located became blurry like the rippled surface of the water, and quickly returned to normal after a second. People and objects that originally existed in the independent reality returned to the old base, such as guards and researchers, as well as equipment and equipment that had been taken away from here.

Chang'an must have returned to the real world now, and may be nearby. After that, as long as I can retrieve him, my mission will be accomplished.

In addition, because I had focused almost all my attention on killing Dr. Silver Mask, I allowed the guards and researchers to be resurrected by the power of restart. After passing through the portal, the demon hunter team moved deeper into the old base and soon fought with the guards who had transformed into monsters. Zhu Shi heard the fighting in the distance, and without saying a word, he put on a bamboo hat and a raincoat, drew his sword and joined the battlefield over there.

Those researchers are fine, but I don't plan to keep those guards. It doesn't matter if I forgot to kill them before, it's not too late to kill them now. I was going to summon a sea of ​​fire to kill all the guards inside the old base. Lu Youxun seemed to have noticed my intention and quickly stopped me.

"Wait... don't kill the weirdos here yet," he said.

"What's wrong?" I paused. "According to the information you provided earlier, the original body of the monster should not be in the base, which means that after the guards die, their seeds of heart should leave the base and go to the original body. The restart and resurrection mechanism inside the base requires all the components of the deceased to be fully resurrected, which will make the guards unable to continue to exist as monsters after resurrection." He said, "However, this is not the case. Every time they are resurrected, they can exert the power of monsters, which means..."

"Their heart seeds might not leave their bodies automatically?" I asked.

"That's a possibility. So maybe even if we capture them alive later, they won't explode. We should always give it a try." He said, "You don't have to bother participating in this capture. It's better to say that these demon hunters brought by the God Gun all want to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. If you take action, their coming here will be in vain."

"Achieve meritorious service..."

Unlike me, an outsider Wuchang, those official Wuchang probably care more about their achievements in Luoshan and the status they get from it. Regardless of these, Luoshan will also record the contribution points of those who have made contributions, which can be exchanged for various props and resources in the future. I have already made enough achievements this time, so there is no need to continue to earn points.

Besides, I probably won’t need scores anymore in the future.

It's not that the items and resources exchanged with points are useless to me, but I have made up my mind to kill the God Lance. I don't think I can continue to use Luoshan's point exchange system normally after killing less than 20 Great Perfection-level Impermanence in Luoshan.

Zhu Shi didn't seem to be interested in meritorious service, but objectively speaking, her achievements on the battlefield were definitely useful to her. I looked at her through the "firefly". In her level, her strength can be said to be invincible, and the monsters in this place can't pose a threat to her. Even if there are some enemies with ridiculous superpowers, they can't do the so-called "first sight kill" in front of the power of "Buzhou Mountain". Seeing this, I decided to watch for the time being.

The guards did not use shadow teleportation to escape, but stayed to protect the researchers and fought desperately with the demon hunters who invaded this place. I don't think these weirdos are absolutely loyal to the Humanitarian Department. It is very likely that the Humanitarian Department has a way to control them, just like Chen Long said, there is a "back door" left by the transformation surgery in their bodies.

They seemed unable to carry the researchers through shadow teleportation. According to the information I had previously read about the monsters, although the monsters could open the door to the shadow world, the shadow world was a realm where life was not allowed to exist, and there was no concept of time and space. This also matched my previous bizarre experience of entering the shadow world. Perhaps it was a place where only people with relevant powers could pass through safely.

Chen Long had done shadow teleportation with others before, when he kidnapped Chang An. Perhaps Chen Long had a way to protect Chang An in the shadow world with his own power. Ordinary monsters couldn't strengthen shadow teleportation into "portal armor". Maybe Chen Long's "comprehensive strengthening" could strengthen shadow teleportation from "only teleporting oneself" to "everything can be teleported".

While watching these images, I entered the fire element form, integrated my spirit into the ambient heat, and quickly expanded it to the entire area of ​​the old stronghold to confirm the location of Chang'an.

At the same time, Lu Youxun turned around and spoke to Ma Zao: "Can you help maintain this portal?"

"Let go?" Ma Zao quickly understood what he meant, "... No, I have to stand next to it and maintain it at a close distance."

Lu Youxun said in a tactful tone: "Then, can you please stay here and maintain the portal? Although we have an overwhelming advantage in the current battle situation, in a battlefield ravaged by strange forces, everything is subject to contingency. I hope you can keep the retreat route safe."

"Okay." Ma Zao nodded without any doubt.

However, Lu Youxun's real intention was probably that he didn't want her to risk going to the battlefield. Not only was I here, but there was also the Divine Spear who should have almost arrived at the battlefield, and the only great master-level warrior on the opposite side, Chen Long, had already died. It was simply a lion-tiger-rat battle difference, and there would be no more accidents no matter how you thought about it.

Ma Zao had never shown his fighting ability in front of Lu Youxun, and he was staggering from time to time due to soul trauma. I guess he was regarded as an "investigator" who was not good at fighting. I didn't intend to let Ma Zao take unnecessary risks, so I agreed with Lu Youxun's opinion.

I guess Shen Qiang’s trip is really in vain this time. He asserted to me at the beginning that “You can’t do anything to Chen Long” and even said “I will kill Chen Long”. I really want to know how he would react after learning about the current situation.

As I was thinking, I used my perception to search the old base, and soon found Chang'an. He was indeed in the dark room deep in the old base's supervisor's room, still immersed in the transparent container.

In addition, I also found a familiar girl in another laboratory belonging to Dr. Silver Mask.
