My whole family was brutally murdered? I awakened the thug system and went on a killing spree.

Hu Biao placed the metal box on the table and unlocked the physical lock.

Inside is a transparent storage matrix about the size of a palm.

"This is the bottom-level log of the 'Heavenly Eye' system at the top of the Martial God Tower."

Hu Biao pulled up several complex band analysis charts. "That old mummy Ji Wudao has actually been guarding against something. The Martial God Tower is not just a manhole cover to suppress the deep abyss fissures underground; it's more like a super-large listening station."

The images on the holographic projection change.

A long string of red frequency waveforms began to jump.

"Before you smashed the Sky Eye system with your punch, it was recording a very regular high-dimensional energy pulse."

Hu Biao pointed to the sharp peaks on the waveform graph.

Qin Meng glanced at it.

He's familiar with this frequency.

It has a very high degree of similarity to the heartbeat resonance of the tenth-tier Abyss Devourer that I ate in the capital.

It's just that the wavelength is longer and the penetration is stronger.

"Where is the signal source?" Qin Meng asked.

Hu Biao tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and the holographic map shrank continuously, his gaze crossing the thick gray fog along the southeast coast and extending all the way to the other side of the sea.

Ultimately, the red anchor point was firmly fixed on the location of the Japanese archipelago.

"Across the sea lies the Japanese mainland." Hu Biao's voice was filled with an barely suppressed ferocity.

"After comparative analysis by the technical department, it was determined that this was not a naturally occurring high-dimensional crack outbreak."

This is a directional, manually operated "guide beacon".

The pulse frequency exhibits a perfect Fibonacci sequence increase, indicating that someone on the other side of the sea has constructed a gigantic summoning circle covering the entire island nation using an extremely vast energy source.

Jiang Nuonuo gasped.

Using abyssal creatures as weapons or a form of faith is a crazy act that has been attempted by cults in China, but at most they only summoned a few low-level hounds.

Current data shows that the country across the sea is using its own territory as an altar to carry out a nationwide abyss-like ritual.

"Is the loss of contact along the southeast coast related to this beacon?" Qin Meng asked, getting to the crucial point.

Hu Biao nodded and pulled up the timeline: "It matches perfectly. The moment the pulse frequency from the direction of Japan reached its first peak was precisely the instant when communication between the three major fortresses in the southeast and the deep-sea fleet was interrupted."

The technical department speculates that the dense fog along the southeast coast is not a defensive barrier at all, but rather a "precursor bridgehead" for the abyss to descend.

The higher-ups over there have either been completely infiltrated by the Abyss, or they've willingly become collaborators, betraying the defenses.

The air quieted down, with only the sizzling sound of grilled meat and the rumble of the conveyor belt.

Jiang Nuonuo and Hu Biao remained silent, awaiting Qin Meng's decision. This had gone beyond a domestic power reshuffle and involved a transnational war.

Qin Meng didn't look at the holographic map, but instead looked down at the neck bone of a ninth-tier sea dragon beast that had just been delivered to him.

He picked up the neck bone and took a bite.

Click.

At the same time that the teeth crushed the high-density bone.

Qin Meng's heart skipped a beat.

It's not a misperception, nor is there a problem with my body.

The "black hole engine" within him, which converts everything into calories, suddenly resonated without any warning.

This kind of resonance does not need to be captured by instruments or viewed by waveform diagrams.

This is an extremely primitive form of physical traction that acts directly at the microscopic particle level.

Qin Meng felt a very slight tremor deep in his chest, like someone who hadn't eaten for three days suddenly smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen next door.

Extremely faint, but continuous.

That was the smell emanating from the gathering of extremely pure, high-mass, high-dimensional energy.

The direction is due southeast.

Crossing that lost, gray-black sea, heading straight for the island nation.

Qin Meng stopped chewing.

He swallowed the bone and bits of meat in his mouth and slowly stood up.

At this moment, "absolute mass" instinctively went out of control, and the gravity index of the fifth underground level instantly soared more than ten times.

Jiang Nuonuo and Hu Biao's knees buckled, and they were pressed to the ground, unable to move even their fingers. The surrounding metal equipment emitted a teeth-grinding twisting sound, and the load-bearing steel bars in the walls snapped one by one.

Qin Meng sensed the collapse of the surrounding environment, quickly concealed his aura, and locked the mass within his body.

Gravity has returned to normal.

Jiang Nuonuo gasped for breath, her combat uniform soaked with cold sweat. Just a moment ago, she had truly felt the shadow of death, as if her body was about to be crushed into a two-dimensional plane.

"Boss..." Hu Biao struggled to get up from the ground, looking at Qin Meng with suspicion and uncertainty.

Qin Meng ignored them and walked to the holographic map, looking at the island nation marked with a red anchor point.

The increase of 2,050 points in physique has made his appetite ridiculously large.

While the meat of these eighth- and ninth-tier exotic beasts in China is filling, the conversion efficiency is too low; eating too much of it feels like gnawing on sawdust.

He needs higher-grade food.

It requires the kind of high-dimensional energy of the tenth order or even higher that can make the black hole engine run at full power.

And now, the summoning circle on the other side of the sea is continuously emitting this level of "fragrance".

That wasn't some kind of doomsday alarm.

In Qin Meng's perception system, it was the sound of a lunch bell that had traveled across the ocean.

"Notify those useless people who are being punished by standing in the lobby."

Qin Meng grabbed a towel from the table, casually wiped the oil stains off his hands, and threw it on the ground.

"The defense line along the southeast coast has been breached. Let them bring their own resources and build a second defense line for me in the Central Plains."

"Set up all the heavy firepower; if even a fly flies by, they'll come crawling back with their heads."

Jiang Nuonuo immediately sat up straight: "I understand, and what about you?"

Qin Meng walked to the metal wall in the basement but did not press the button to open the elevator.

He raised his right hand, making a fist with his five fingers.

"I'm going to the southeast."

He threw a punch.

Three-meter-thick explosion-proof alloy walls, more than ten layers of underground rock structures, and the remains of buildings on the surface.

Faced with the pure physical mass of this punch, it was forcibly pierced through like tofu.

A five-meter-diameter, straight passage leading to the sky above the ground was instantly formed.

The strong pressure difference sucked all the clutter in the basement into the sky.

Qin Meng bent his knees slightly.

The sonic boom cloud exploded five levels underground.

His figure transformed into a dark golden lightning bolt, soaring into the sky along the pierced passage, tearing through the clouds above Jiangcheng, and plummeting rapidly towards the thick gray-black fog in the southeast.

"I was just worried about having nothing to fill my teeth."

High in the sky, the man's violent winds tore the whisper apart behind the sound barrier.

"Hopefully the main course on the other side of the sea will be substantial enough."
