Excessive ferocity due to caution

Fifth Federal Headquarters.

Huang Liangmeng was checking whether the device for entering the Infinite Trial was working properly.

He is a high-ranking official in the Fifth Federation and is specifically in charge of the Inextricable Trial this time.

He contacted the heads of many departments and carefully investigated any potential problems.

Those who entered the Infinite Trial this time were mainly young scions of the great families in the capital, who are the backbone of the capital's future.

If something goes wrong, then it will be a big problem.

Even the Fifth Federation dared not antagonize the entire capital.

With various forces intertwined and their interests entangled, no one can afford to offend anyone else too much.

Huang Liangmeng had worked his way up to his current position with great difficulty, and he didn't want to ruin his future because of a small mistake.

not to mention……

He had more important things to do in the Fifth Federation.

Just as Huang Liangmeng was working diligently, someone came in and brought him coffee.

A steaming cup of coffee was placed on the table, and then the person left.

Huang Liangmeng picked up his coffee and drank it in one gulp.

The temperature is just right.

But Huang Liangmeng frowned slightly.

He spat out a tiny chip and discreetly covered it with his body.

There were surveillance cameras in many inconspicuous places in the room.

The Fifth Federation secretly monitors every high-ranking member within its ranks.

He pretended not to know about the pipe dream.

Within the blind spot of the surveillance, Huang Liangmeng placed the chip in his wrist, and the chip actually merged into his flesh and blood!

Immediately afterwards, a lot of information appeared in Huang Liangmeng's eyes.

The chips were sent by the Li family.

The above is the wanted notice for Zhao Yi.

They hoped that those sent into the Infernal Trial by Huang Liangmeng, a subordinate of the Fifth Federation, would also help find Zhao Yi. If Huang Liangmeng could help the Li family, the Li family would reward them handsomely afterwards.

Huang Liangmeng frowned slightly as she stared at Zhao Yi's information.

He knew that Zhao Yi, an actor signed with the entertainment company Fengnan, had killed Li Chenglong.

He wasn't particularly concerned about this matter originally.

But at that moment, he saw Zhao Yi's photo.

Huang Liangmeng felt a deep sense of familiarity with that face.

He was lost in thought for a long time when his body suddenly stiffened!

"Isn't this...X-0?"

Huang Liangmeng stared intently at Zhao Yi's photo, turning it over and over in her mind's eye, her fingers twitching involuntarily on the table...

...

The Trials of No Return are about to begin.

A storm is brewing in the capital.

Not only the four major families, but also many powerful families in the capital have secured one or two of the limited spots, hoping to try their luck in the Infernal Realm.

On this day, the capital was in an uproar and extremely noisy.

A large number of people flocked to the Sky Plaza prepared by the Fifth Federation, where there were hundreds of black teleportation portals leading directly to the Abyss!

Only those with the necessary permissions can enter Sky Square.

On this day, Feng Nan personally escorted Zhao Yi to Wujian.

Some people from the entertainment company also came.

They were all dispatched by Yan She to protect Zhao Yi and prevent anyone from suddenly attacking him.

Upon entering the Sky Plaza, Zhao Yi could feel the murderous gazes directed at him from a great distance.

"There are quite a few people who want to kill me."

Zhao Yi smiled.

Feng Nan, still worried, added:

"Be ruthless."

Zhao Yi:

"You still don't trust me?"

Under Feng Nan's protection, he entered the portal and disappeared into the darkness...

...

Countless chains, densely packed, crisscrossed the ashes-covered sky.

The chains emitted a faint red and black glow.

Those chains, of unknown length and thickness, stretched towards the end of the sky, where they were shrouded in an unseen vast expanse.

Most people don't know what these chains are used for.

But Zhao Yi knew.

He had seen it.

These chains, imbued with the most terrifying power of the Abyss, intertwine into a dense, gigantic net, all for the sake of a colossal, seven-colored giant deep within the Abyss…

That was his chaotic form.

Unfortunately, he can no longer go to the depths of the Abyss.

Fengnan marked the area on the map that they could operate in.

Overall it is very large, but it is still far from the depths of the Avici Hell.

Right now, Zhao Yi is in a black, dead city.

The place is in ruins, and the buildings are all pure black, as if they have survived a great battle. The architectural style is somewhat similar to that of Central Europe, with a strong religious and feudal atmosphere in its classical style.

Zhao Yi stood on a long street.

Occasionally, white light would appear overhead, passing through the thick chains overhead like a shooting star.

These people are the imperial capital trial participants who came from the outside world!

The Inexhaustible Trial will last for about thirty days. By then, all participants must reach the designated location before they can leave.

Walking on the dark street, Zhao Yi carefully observed everything around him.

Not long after, he stopped in front of a half-cracked villa.

His eyes glowed with a faint red light, revealing the power of his malevolent gaze.

A moment later, he walked inside, but a shout came from not far away:

"Zhao Yi!"

Zhao turned around and saw three unfamiliar faces.

Two men and one woman.

He didn't know him.

"Do you know me?"

Zhao Yi asked with a smile.

"Hey... We're all from the entertainment company. You killed Li Chenglong a while ago, and the Li family has been putting pressure on the entertainment company ever since. It's hard for us not to know you."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tian Rong, this is Huang Gou, and this is Xiao Jing. We are all movie stars from the entertainment company."

Tian Rong enthusiastically introduced the situation to Zhao Yi.

The four greeted each other.

Zhao Yi asked curiously:

"I remember the entertainment company's Best Actor award was from a very dangerous place, wasn't it?"

Tian Rongqian coughed twice:

"Of course not every one of them is..."

"You know, in the entertainment industry... some necessary marketing tactics are still needed."

Zhao Yi suddenly realized.

"So what do you want from me?"

Xiao Jing, with a violet tattoo on her face, tidied her hair, her makeup was glamorous, and her expression carried a hint of superior arrogance:

"I wasn't looking for you, but we just happened to bump into each other and I wanted to team up with you."

"After all, we're all from the entertainment company, so we can look out for each other."

"You killed Li Chenglong, and the Li family will definitely take this opportunity to retaliate against you. Teaming up with us will, in a way, increase your chances of survival."

Zhao Yi walked towards the interior of the villa, saying calmly:

"Aren't you afraid of being caught in the crossfire?"

The thin, hunched-over Huang Gou replied in a hoarse, aged voice:

"Even without you, we are still their competitors."

"Even though you're only A-rank, having one more teammate is always better than having one more enemy."

"As for cursed items... naturally, whoever finds them first gets to keep them."

After a moment's thought, Zhao Yi agreed.

The three of them watched Zhao Yi's retreating figure, exchanged a knowing glance, and followed him.

...

At this moment, Qin Bai, in a village far away, frowned slightly as he looked at the special locator in his hand.

According to the route Qin Zheng arranged for him, he should be close to Zhao Yi by now, but he is currently at least two cursed item points away from Zhao Yi!

This means that he needs to complete at least two cursed tasks before he can see Zhao Yi.

According to Qin Bai's own thinking, he wanted to choose Plan B.

This means that he carried out the operation alone.

However, Qin Bai remembered what Qin Zheng had said to him by the fishpond, so he suddenly changed direction and headed towards the city where Zhao Yi was...

PS: The next chapter will feature the Cursed Dungeon, a rather novel type of horror dungeon.
