From the end of the world

Chapter 268: Departure to Yueyin Mountain

I have seen a large number of questioning comments on the Internet. Most people cannot immediately accept the existence of supernatural events and believe that the government is blaming its own powerlessness on ghosts and gods. Others believe that the government’s accounts on media platforms have been hacked, or that this was all a prank from the beginning.

It can be seen from this that even with the credibility of official forces, it is impossible to make the people who have been baptized by scientific concepts over the years believe in the supernatural phenomenon of amnesia in the first place.

Although some people believe in it, they think that the so-called supernatural phenomena are nothing more than things that cannot be explained by current science, rather than things that truly transcend the field of science - perhaps this is also the truth. In fact, the Humanitarian Department is trying to analyze supernatural forces with scientific means. Although most of the results are based on suspicious external forces, it cannot be said that there has been no achievements at all.

There are also many people who immediately expressed that they can accept supernatural things. It may not be good for me, a supernatural person and a fan of ghost stories, to say this. No matter what era, there are always superstitious people who believe in supernatural powers. Even if the judgment this time is correct, the logic of the judgment cannot be said to be based on the correct foundation. It can only be said that the correct answer was found by accident.

However, whether they believe or not, they will accept the existence of the strange world in the near future. This current atmosphere of debate and questioning is estimated to last only a short time. With the official recognition of the strange world, more evidence that can prove the existence of supernatural things will be released to the public one after another. In this process, concepts such as Luo Shan and demon hunters, hegemony and supernaturalism will also be recognized by ordinary society.

A chaotic world is about to come.

According to the general law of historical development, the end of chaos must be order, just as the end of order must be chaos. However, this time is different. At the end of chaos, what greets everyone will be even more chaotic chaos. That is the end of the world.

In the face of the true doomsday, hegemony and transcendence, the country and Luo Shan, mortals and demon hunters are nothing but illusions.

If this catastrophe cannot be overcome, the impending chaos may very well become society’s last carnival.

Ma Zao finally woke up, and then she apologized to me guiltily for accidentally falling asleep. Of course, I can't blame her, and I also fell asleep suddenly last night. After a few conversations, she asked me the reason for my sudden sleepiness. It can be seen that she has guessed that I entered the virtual realm last night.

There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so I confessed everything. At the same time, I also told Xiao Wan the truth about the time travel.

In addition, considering that Ma Zao has been worried about Xiao Wan's survival, I also mentioned the power Xiao Wan possessed. Of course, I didn't say it verbatim. If Ma Zao knew that Xiao Wan might live a more relaxed life after leaving her, she would definitely fall into negative thinking again. This is not what I want to see, and it is not what Xiao Wan wants to see. So I explained Xiao Wan's ability as "the power that suddenly awakened under the influence of the fragments of the divine seal."

Ma Zao's worried expression suddenly cleared up.

"I see. Xiaowan is safe now..." She rarely smiled.

"Although she is alone now, as long as I enter the virtual realm regularly, even if she accidentally forgets her name, I can help her remember it in time. So you don't have to worry about her for the time being." I said.

She nodded first, then sighed: "However, I didn't expect the reason for my time travel to be revealed so quickly. It turned out to be because of Xiaowan..."

I also thought that this puzzle would take a long time to solve. Although Xiaowan had said a long time ago that it was something related to her, I was mentally prepared and suspected that I would only get partial clues in the end, and the truth was still far away. Unexpectedly, she actually revealed the answer directly.

After the conversation, we went to the base cafeteria to have breakfast. Dong Che and Fu Feng appeared in front of us as usual, and I said goodbye to Fu Feng.

"Are you leaving now?"

Fu Feng was shocked, and then asked me: "So what are we going to do about Fa Zheng? He will come here to see you in two or three days. Are you planning to break the appointment?"

"If he wants to see me now, I can spare a day to talk to him, but he can't get away now, right?" I said, "I have something important to do this time, so I have to go. But it won't take a long time to deal with the matter over there. If it's quick, it can be done tomorrow. It won't be too late to come back and wait for Fa Zheng to come after I finish my work.

"You know my speed. It won't take more time to go back and forth than to go out to throw away the garbage and then come back home. Just treat me as me going out to throw away the garbage."

"That... makes sense." Fu Feng thought for a moment and said, "But if you leave here, there's no guarantee that the Great Impermanence behind the Divine Spear won't attack you."

"Whether he will attack me or not does not depend on where I am, but on Fa Zheng's interference, right?" I said.

"I can't hide it from you." He said, "Okay, I understand. Now that we've come to this point, I'll tell you directly. At least within the next two days, the Great Impermanence behind the Divine Spear will definitely not be able to take the initiative to attack you." "In other words, Fa Zheng can at least contain the other party for another two days?"

I feel like his statement seems a bit weird. Fa Zheng is the Great Impermanence, and the hostile Great Impermanence is also the Great Impermanence. Both are strong men of the same level, but Fu Feng said that the latter will "definitely" be restrained for two days. This wording is quite important, and Fu Feng doesn't seem to be bragging on purpose. Could it be that Fa Zheng is much stronger than the hostile Great Impermanence? Or has Fa Zheng invested a lot of money in this matter? Or is there something fishy that I don't understand?

Or... the enemy Great Impermanence is Fa Zheng himself, so he can say so confidently that he will not take action? If so, then it is indeed right for me to leave here with Ma Zao now. After resolving the matter at Yueyin Mountain, it is better not to return to Fufeng Base.

"Things are not quite what you think. Anyway, you are safe for now." Fu Feng was obviously reluctant to mention the inside story. "Also, if you are worried about having a conflict with the Great Impermanence when entering the city and causing harm to unrelated people, then there is no need to worry for now. At least in these two days, you can move freely."

"I see. Also, since we're leaving, we should also release the winter car."

I mentioned this matter on purpose, and Dong Che next to me pricked up his ears.

Fu Feng looked at Dong Che with deep eyes. He might have something to do with the Humanitarian Department, and Dong Che had relevant clues. Even if he was planning to keep Dong Che secret, he would probably want to keep Dong Che under house arrest for a while longer, and he would have to clean up his "criminal traces" during this period. My proposal was against his interests - provided that he was really having an affair with the Humanitarian Department.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "...As long as you think it's okay, then it's fine."

Dong Che breathed a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, Dong Che said goodbye to us solemnly and left the Fufeng base.

In order to prevent Fufeng from secretly chasing after me and doing something afterwards, I stayed at Fufeng Base until almost noon before leaving with Ma Zao. This approach can only prevent Fufeng himself at best. If he contacts his level demon hunters to silence Dongche, then it will all depend on Dongche's performance. If he loses, then he can only blame himself for his lack of strength or bad luck.

Anyway, I can't help Dong Che now. Due to the anti-detection barrier inside and outside the Fufeng base, I can't continue to track the thermal energy mark in Dong Che's body after he left. If it was a "firefly", it wouldn't be so. This is the first time I have discovered this difference. The thermal energy mark that exists purely as a piece of heat is concealed enough, but it is not as stable as a "firefly".

Now the "fireflies" that stayed in the Zhu family have not disappeared yet. As long as I concentrate enough, I can force a contact with them even inside the Fufeng base. The thermal energy mark cannot do the same thing.

Before we parted, Fu Feng sent us to the gate of the base. He looked at me and suddenly said, "Zhuang Cheng, your inner self seems to be closer to transcendence."

"What do you want to say?" I asked.

"You are neither the Old Boxing God nor the Willow Shadow. If you are not willing to be won over by one of the sides, you will end up becoming the enemy of both sides," he said.

"Transcendentalism has always been my enemy. Are you threatening me that if I don't join the Doctrine of the World, the Doctrine of the World will take action against me?" I asked.

"Yes." He confessed, "If you don't join the Domination, Fa Zheng will definitely choose to eliminate you. Because you are more likely to join the Transcendental. Then, I will also become your enemy."

This was something we had been keeping to ourselves, and now he actually said it out loud. However, compared to the previous indirect attempts and probing, I actually liked his doing this more. Would such a person really secretly communicate with the Humanitarian Department? I even had this thought.

"After all, we are not politicians, but demon hunters. You also prefer this direct way of speaking, right?" He smiled slightly.

"You're right," I said. "Whether we're friends or enemies will be revealed in the future. But you said you might become my enemy. Don't you think too highly of yourself? You may not be able to become my enemy next time we meet."

Hearing this, Fu Feng laughed out loud, said goodbye, and turned back to the base.

Ma Zao and I set off towards Yueyin Mountain.
