Ruan Ziying stood alone beside a car on the outskirts of the slum, gazing into the distance.

"What's the situation inside?"

Ruan Ziying asked as she stepped forward when Shan Fucai walked back.

At this time, Shan Fucai's command authority had been taken over by the superior who had just arrived a few hours earlier.

"It's unclear. The signal inside the Octagonal Seal is blocked. We can't assess the situation inside the slum. Fallen Ones are also gathering here from the outside. We also discovered Luo Xu and his group earlier and engaged them, but they broke through and entered the slum."

"Currently, the area is filled with a large number of corrupted creatures and Fallen Ones, coupled with extremely high levels of pollution. It's very difficult for our people to enter and take action."

"No news from Sheng Tao either?"

Shan Fucai's expression was grave, and he shook his head.

Ruan Ziying opened her phone.

Even though she was outside the slum area, she was still experiencing signal interference, and the network connection was intermittent.

After the outside world received the news, some player teams also approached the slum in twos and threes, hoping to uncover quest lines, but most of them were stopped by the members of the Occult Investigation Committee.

As the Octagonal Seal in the sky persisted, personnel outside the seal also began to be affected by the pollution. Therefore, the Occult Investigation Committee immediately organized the evacuation of personnel on the periphery and designated a restricted area.

In fact, Ruan Ziying had also received a task reminder related to investigating the slum.

But she valued her life more.

Breaking in alone was too dangerous.

Clients were important, and the task was also attractive.

But self-preservation was more important!

Ruan Ziying felt somewhat anxious, refreshing the webpage and searching for relevant information.

Huh?

Suddenly, Ruan Ziying's heart stirred.

She received a text message on her phone.

It was from an unknown phone number.

The message began with a string of numbers.

Ruan Ziying was very familiar with this string of numbers.

It was the phone number she had left for Fang Heng when she first brought him to this world!

Following the phone number was a piece of text, asking her to quietly go to a coordinate point alone, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Occult Investigation Team.

Judging from the map, the coordinate point was located on the outskirts of the slum, not far from her location!

How could this be!

Could it be Fang Heng!?

He wasn't dead! He even sent her a message to contact him!?

Ruan Ziying's heart began to beat faster.

Shan Fucai noticed a change in Ruan Ziying's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

Ruan Ziying quickly thought for a moment, steeled her heart, and decided to go take a look.

The target coordinate point was nearby. If it was a trap, even a slight disturbance would attract people to investigate.

Shan Fucai stared at Ruan Ziying and said in a deep voice, "Have you been contaminated?"

"No, just a little tired."

"Okay, go ahead, be careful."

Shan Fucai watched Ruan Ziying leave and then turned his gaze towards the interior of the slum.

He felt very strange in his heart.

Sheng Tao had been inside for too long.

Could something have happened? Even he…

The higher-ups had the same idea as him, so they were not in a hurry to enter the Octagonal Seal area to observe, but instead took the first step to control the situation outside.

Ruan Ziying carefully avoided the areas where the Occult Investigation Committee was gathering and investigating, remained vigilant, and followed the coordinate point received on her phone.

Along the way, there were still scattered police officers patrolling and driving away irrelevant personnel.

Ruan Ziying had a temporary consultant badge provided by the Occult Committee, which counted her as a member of the Investigation Committee, and she passed through smoothly.

Until she groped her way to the edge of a sparse forest area, Ruan Ziying stopped.

There was no one around.

That's right, the agreed coordinate point was here.

No one?

"Crack…!"

A slight sound made Ruan Ziying pause. She turned her head to look at her feet, and at the same time, the Book of Nature appeared in her hand, ready to fight.

"Crack!"

Another sound. On the ground, a wooden board was lifted!

Ruan Ziying was shocked to discover that there was a wooden passage under the thick layer of fallen leaves!

A hand slowly pushed the wooden board open.

Then a person poked their head out from under the wooden board.

Seeing that person, an expression of extreme surprise appeared on Ruan Ziying's face.

And joy!

"Fang,…"

"Shhh!!"

It was actually Fang Heng!

Ruan Ziying quickly covered her mouth.

When she saw the message, she was guessing whether it was Fang Heng looking for her. When she actually saw this scene, she was shocked.

Fang Heng looked perfectly fine, not at all like he was being chased.

Ruan Ziying was momentarily speechless, "You, you…"

Fang Heng looked around and quickly nodded, "I know you have many questions, follow me first! Come down."

"Ah,"

Ruan Ziying watched as Fang Heng disappeared underground again.

It was a secret underground passage built in the slum!

Ruan Ziying recognized it immediately.

A long time ago, the slum was a war zone, and there were many secret passages below.

Could it be that Fang Heng was so lucky that he found the passage!?

But she remembered that the government had already blocked all the passages…

"Hurry up."

Ruan Ziying was still a little dazed. Urged by Fang Heng below, she didn't think too much and followed Fang Heng into the passage below.

Fang Heng quickly closed the entrance above, and led Ruan Ziying all the way towards the interior.

"What's the situation outside? Did anyone follow us?"

"Mm."

Ruan Ziying followed Fang Heng forward, first nodding blankly, then quickly recovering from her astonishment and questioning Fang Heng like a machine gun.

"What's going on with you? What happened here?"

"Did you do it when the Eye of Albulra disappeared last night? Is that ritual also related to you?"

"Why are the people from the Revolutionary Army also looking for you? What about Sheng Tao? Do you know that Sheng Tao is looking for you now! He's from the Revolutionary Army, when did you get involved with the Revolutionary Army?"

"Sheng Tao is ruthless, your current situation is extremely dangerous!"

"What's your contamination level now? No, this place is too dangerous, we can't stay here any longer, you have to leave here quickly!"

Fang Heng looked back at Ruan Ziying.

There were too many questions, he didn't know which one to answer first.

In short, the zombie clone was lucky. It had just excavated a passage from the ground, connecting to the underground passage that had been left behind.

Then, Fang Heng asked Luo Xu to help and summoned a few Abyssal Servants to edit and send a text message to Ruan Ziying, prompting her to meet at one of the exits.

"Ahem, don't worry, in short, something happened, I will answer your questions one by one, but I need your help now, after all, I am your client, right?"

"That's natural, Haising Company always prioritizes customers…"

Ruan Ziying said without thinking. As she spoke, she opened her mouth, and seeing Fang Heng's leisurely appearance, she also began to understand.
