Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

It's normal for Fang Heng to say he didn't feel anything.

After being implanted with a demon seed through a ritual, a large portion of the host bodies won't notice any changes in their personality.

To be precise, human hosts suitable for the demon seed's survival inherently possess a certain kind of sin, and the demon seed simply amplifies that existing sin within them.

However, it was their first meeting, and Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu didn't yet know Fang Heng's personality or temperament, so they didn't dare speak carelessly.

"Mm."

Fang Heng nodded, trying to sort out his thoughts, "So, I went through some kind of ritual, and now I have this thing called a demon seed inside me, right?"

"Yes."

"So, one day, as the demon seed gradually grows stronger, I'll be devoured?"

"Huh?" Luo Xu's face showed confusion, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have such a thought, sir?"

"What do you mean?"

"After the ritual is complete, you are already integrated with the demon seed; you are the demon seed, and the demon seed is you. There is no such thing as devouring. This power is controlled by you, but using the power will also subtly influence some of your behaviors."

Luo Xu nodded very seriously, "Even if influenced, the final decision is still controlled by you. Everything is decided by your will. To be precise, you were recognized and passed the demon seed ritual, accepting the demon seed."

Hearing this, Fang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the demon seed didn't have any negative effects.

For a moment, Fang Heng's thoughts raced.

"I understand. You guys can get up now."

"Thank you, sir."

Luo Xu and the other got up and continued, "Demon Seed Lord, there are many things we need to report to you one by one, but now is not the time. Please follow us and leave here. Forgive me for being blunt, but continuing to stay here is too dangerous."

"Call me Fang Heng from now on. Also, is the danger you're referring to the Fallen and Corrupted creatures outside? What specifically? Who wants to deal with me? Was Sheng Tao also sent by that person?"

Luo Xu sighed inwardly and said in a deep voice, "The one who wants to deal with you is also a Demon Seed Lord. To be precise, it's your sister, the demon seed who controls the power of the Tongue of Jealousy - Esekrina."

Fang Heng fell into a brief silence upon hearing this.

After a moment, Fang Heng asked, "So why does she want to deal with me?"

"Demons living in the abyss are inherently chaotic creatures; dealing with you might not need any reason," Luo Xu said with a wry smile. "If we have to give a reason, it might be… because of jealousy."

Fang Heng: "…"

[Hint: Player has triggered a special main quest - Seed of Jealousy].

Quest Name: Seed of Jealousy.

Quest Description: You found the servants of the abyss and learned about the rumors of the seven demon seeds from them. You realize that you have been contaminated by the power of the demon seed 'Jealousy'. Please survive under the contamination of Jealousy.

Quest Requirements: Clear the contamination from the Tongue of Jealousy within your body.

Quest Reward: Next stage quest hint.

Fang Heng fell silent once again.

Seeing the quest description, combined with the conversation with Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu, Fang Heng suddenly realized that many problems that had troubled him before now had answers.

He is a demon seed.

Then who planted the demon seed?

The answer was already obvious.

Xia Xi!

So she is also from Hell?

Fang Heng felt a bit confused and continued to ask, "How did you find me? Through tracking?"

Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu looked at each other, thinking, 'You've already caused such a big commotion in the slums; how could we not find you?!'

Seeing the strange expressions on Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu's faces, Fang Heng said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's like this. Based on our current understanding of your information and the intelligence we've gathered from various sources, we've made a rough guess."

"Mm, go on."

"We learned that you came from another world. We don't know exactly how you obtained the demon seed, but we know that you discovered a Tree of Fusion in Aitoma Cervantes' villa that night. Is that correct?"

"Correct."

"An evil spirit was originally sealed beneath the Tree of Fusion, sealed by Aitoma."

"You inadvertently weakened the power of the seal and came into contact with the evil spirit. This triggered the power of the demon seed within you, allowing it to awaken further."

Fang Heng frowned, recalling the situation of his cultivation that night, "Wait, what did you say? Awaken?"

"Yes, awakening. Awakening in your sea of consciousness. The demon seed was once in a seed state. Once the awakening is complete, the demon seed successfully sprouts within you, and only then can you sense the existence of the demon seed. If you have undergone mystical cultivation, you should be able to find its traces in the sea of consciousness."

Fang Heng clenched his fists unconsciously as he listened.

Awakening, that is, the pollution he felt back then!

He had vaguely sensed it.

He had very likely been tricked by Viona!

Seeing Fang Heng's expression suddenly become extremely gloomy, the two closed their mouths.

"Mm, continue."

Sun Zhaoyu continued, "However, after breaking through the seal, the evil spirit didn't find your whereabouts. Afterwards, people from the Mystical Studies Committee also discovered the explosion and came to the villa to provide support. The evil spirit had just escaped the seal and was extremely weak, so it could only choose to hide temporarily."

Fang Heng understood. At that time, he sensed the explosion and chose to go offline and hide directly, so the evil spirit couldn't find him.

"And then?"

"Afterwards, the evil spirit told us that it had found you. We learned that you had been taken away by the Mystical Studies Investigation Committee, so we immediately caused chaos in the city, wanting to protect you before the Reformation Society could find you. In order to conceal our true purpose, we made as much noise as possible."

"We just didn't expect that you weren't imprisoned by the Mystical Studies Committee, and we missed again."

"After that, we have been secretly following the Federation to look for you. Until recently, we discovered a detonating wave outside the slums. The power of the wave was extremely strong, and even the demon seed of the Tongue of Jealousy - Esekrina sensed it in another world, intervening from the outside and descending an octagonal seal in the sky above the slums."

"Yes, the eyes in the clouds above the slums are the peeping from your sister."

Regarding this point, Luo Xu also felt very puzzled.

"We believe that the power of the demon seed in your sea of consciousness was affected by a huge external force, and the power of the demon seed in your body was suppressed to the limit. Therefore, the power of the demon seed produced a backlash, which would stimulate the potential power of the demon seed in your body to a certain extent, but it would also cause huge power fluctuations."
