Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

After half an hour.

The Senate controls the forbidden area.

The previously out-of-control teleportation device lit up again.

The dark space vortex slowly rotated.

Jiang Luo, carrying the tattered bear, took the lead and walked out on her short legs clad in white stockings.

Han Ya helped the pale-faced Lin Xiao follow behind.

The three of them had just landed.

The dozens of Senate members guarding the central control hall turned their heads in unison.

A series of surprised and uncertain gazes fell on Jiang Luo.

Especially after seeing the tattered teddy bear in her arms.

The strange beings responsible for maintaining the seal clearly sensed something, and their expressions simultaneously turned grim.

Shura stood in front of the damaged center console.

The black armor he wore still bore the cracks caused by the earlier explosion.

Seeing Jiang Luo emerge from the teleportation tunnel unharmed, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then his face darkened completely.

"Lord Jiang, do you even know where this place is? The Central Control Forbidden Area is the highest-level sealed area of ​​the Senate. Without the permission of the senators, no supernatural entity is allowed to enter. Not only did you force your way in, but you also damaged the outer rule barrier. Now, even things from the sealed area have entered the instance. If this causes large-scale pollution, the entire supernatural world will suffer!"

Shura's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

The centrally controlled restricted area has been invaded.

The sealing rules have been broken.

The source of pollution, hidden deepest within, also escaped.

This incident would have been enough to warrant execution by the Senate for anyone involved.

But standing in front of him was Jiang Luo.

Lord of Red Moon Castle.

The ruler of calamity.

It also possesses a portion of the will of a strange world within its body.

If things really come to a head...

Even if the entire Senate were to attack together, they might not be able to stop her.

Jiang Luo, however, seemed completely oblivious to the questioning in Shura's words.

She pulled a strawberry lollipop from her skirt pocket, slowly unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth, mumbling, "Lolo can go wherever she wants. When did it become your Senate's business? Besides, you've hidden such a big place away, and you've made the entrance all mysterious. What's wrong with Lolo going in to take a look?"

"you--"

Shura was speechless for a moment.

The faces of the other senators were grim, but none of them dared to stand up and criticize Jiang Luo.

After all, it wasn't long ago.

The powerful figures sent by the Senate to Red Moon Castle had just been dealt with by Jiang Luo.

If Shura were to actually turn against her now over a door...

In the end, it's probably not just the central control screen that will be removed.

Shura took a deep breath.

He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"This is no ordinary forbidden area. The Senate forbids anyone from approaching because the deepest part of the central control area is sealed with a portion of the pollution left over from the Twilight War."

Jiang Luo paused slightly as she bit into the candy.

"pollute?"

"That's right." Shura glanced around and explained in a deep voice, "After the Twilight War a hundred years ago, although the will of the abyss was repelled, a part of its original pollution remained in the strange world. That thing does not have a fixed body and can attach itself to the strange, the rules, or even the dungeon teleportation nodes to spread continuously."

"Ordinary methods simply cannot completely eradicate it. The Senate can only use the instance control system to confine it within this forbidden area. The outer rule barrier is not to prevent others from discovering the control system, but to isolate the polluting aura and prevent it from contacting any host that can parasitize it."

As Shura finished speaking, his gaze swept over Han Ya and Lin Xiao.

The crow looked somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Xiao remained in a semi-comatose state due to damage to the core of the rules.

Shura frowned and continued, "After you trespassed into the forbidden area, the central control rules were impacted by the power of calamity, and a gap appeared in the seal. That thing took the opportunity to slip into the random teleportation channel and escape into the instance you were just in. If it were to enter the real world using the bodies of players, the consequences would be completely uncontrollable."

The atmosphere around them became heavy.

Several members of the Senate looked at Jiang Luo with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

If Jiang Luo hadn't forcibly entered the restricted area...

The seal will not have any problems.

Jiang Luo, however, showed no remorse for causing trouble.

She hugged the tattered bear, blinked her ruby-like eyes, and spoke in a relaxed tone as if she had just stepped on an insect.

"You mean that big eyeball with so many faces on it? Lolo caught it. It corrupted Han Ya and Lin Xiao, and even tried to escape using the players in the inn, but in the end, Lolo stuffed it into Xiong Xiong's eye."

The entire control room fell silent instantly.

The solemnity on Shura's face gradually turned into astonishment.

He stared at the tattered bear in Jiang Luo's arms, as if he doubted that he had just misheard.

"You've caught the source of the pollution?"

"Yes."

Jiang Luo lifted the tattered bear up.

The last remaining black button slowly turned its eye.

Deep inside the button.

Faces the size of grains of rice were crammed together, silently opening their mouths and roaring.

A strong, polluted odor seeped from the teddy bear, but it was firmly sealed by a layer of dark red calamity patterns, preventing it from spreading outwards even slightly.

Seeing this scene.

The members of the Senate behind Shura simultaneously took a half step back.

The strange beings responsible for sealing off the contamination stared wide-eyed.

It took them a century.

Even with the entire central control system, the pollution could only be contained deep within the forbidden area.

Jiang Luo was inside for less than an hour.

They actually caught that thing and brought it back?

Shura quickly walked up to the tattered bear.

He didn't immediately reach out and touch it, but stared at the stain inside the button repeatedly to confirm it.

That aura did indeed originate from the same source as the pollution sealed within the forbidden area.

There is no significant difference between the fluctuations in life and the structure of rules.

Shura's expression was complicated for a moment.

He was just questioning Jiang Luo about trespassing into the forbidden area.

However, the source of the pollution was also brought back by Jiang Luo himself.

If she hadn't entered the instance...

Given the skill level of those new players, the contamination would probably have already entered the real world through the exit.

If you really calculate it...

Jiang Luo has made a mess of things.

But then he casually patched up the basket.

"Now that we've caught it, we must immediately re-examine the seal. The source of the contamination is very good at disguising itself. Even if it appears to have lost its ability to resist, we cannot be careless."

Shura raised his right hand.

A hexagonal crystal covered with silver runes emerged from the palm of the hand.

Jiang Luo waved his hand dismissively.

"Check it as you like. That thing has been beaten so badly by Lolo that it doesn't dare to move anymore. The contaminants in the Horror Hotel have also been extracted, so there shouldn't be any more problems."

A hexagonal crystal is near the rag bear.

A pale purple light shone on Button's eyes.

Inside the crystal.

The intricate patterns gradually lit up.

First floor.

The second layer.

The third layer.

Shura's previously tense expression relaxed slightly.

But soon.

His smile froze on his face.

The fourth layer of texture did not light up.

The fifth floor also showed no reaction.

After the third layer, the entire crystal seemed to touch a blank space, and no deeper source of pollution could be detected.

Shura frowned.

He changed the testing rules.

Reattach the hexagonal crystal to the teddy bear.

The result remained unchanged.

There are only three floors.

Jiang Luo noticed his expression was off and asked with a lollipop in her mouth, "What's wrong? Is this piece of junk broken?"

Shura did not answer immediately.

He stared at the missing patterns inside the crystal, his face gradually turning pale.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Shura raised his head, his tone more solemn than ever before: "When the Senate sealed the source of pollution, it recorded its original structure in its entirety. That thing had nine layers of pollution circuits, each corresponding to a different rule of erosion ability."

"But the part you brought back only has three layers."
