Chapter 398: Elimination

Outside the Meng family manor, Lao Wan and Xiao Lu rushed here immediately after receiving the news from the bureau.

Due to the special nature of the White Bird District and for the sake of concealment, they could not stay too close in advance, but even so, they arrived at the destination in less than a quarter of an hour.

However, when they were going up the mountain, they were stopped by the security guards under Meng Xu. Although they quickly contacted the owner of the manor, Meng Lai, and presented the execution certificate prepared in advance by the processing bureau, they were still delayed for a while.

The two of them had no time to argue with Meng Xu. When they quickly arrived at the manor and wanted to enter the underground passage, they saw a burst of light bursting out from the ground in front of them.

"This is……"

The two people's expressions froze, "Fissure?"

In the underground space, the moment the light burst out from Meng Huang's head, Chen Chuan immediately closed his eyes and covered the front with his hands.

But he soon discovered that these lights were only dazzling at the beginning, and then they drifted past him like fast-flowing light mist.

When he put his hand down, he found that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed greatly.

Some of the places illuminated by these lights can still be seen clearly, while some seem to be swallowed up by the fusion of light, so everything in front of eyes becomes incomplete.

This made him seem to be standing on pieces of floating stones, and the walls on both sides looked broken and scattered, and the visible parts seemed to be floating in the air.

Aunt Yu was standing not far from him at the moment. She said quickly, "Mr. Chen, that thing must have used its residual power to open the rift."

"A rift?"

Chen Chuan nodded.

Although he had never seen it, these situations matched the information provided by the Processing Bureau. After the symbiotic body of some beings on the opposite side was destroyed, they would sometimes forcibly use the remaining power to tear open a brief gap in order to achieve a certain purpose.

The scene that I see is the result of the fusion of two worlds. Although it does not really connect the two sides, it can cause some real objects to change.

At this moment, his eyebrows were twitching slightly as he searched for the other party's location. Through mental induction, he felt the other party's location, and it seemed that because of the existence of the crack, he could see it more clearly.

It was an object whose entire appearance could not be seen. It seemed to be trying to squeeze out from a deep hole. The front end of the part was constantly extending forward, pointing to the gate that was blocked by the esoteric ritual.

It seems that there is something there that it desperately wants, so it tries to get in.

What could it be?

This thing no longer has any attachment and will not exist for much longer, so the thing it is looking for must be something it can bring back or something that can allow it to continue to exist.

No matter what, we can't let him succeed.

He raised the blade and said, "Since you don't want to leave, then I'll give it a ride."

He glanced at the ground engulfed by the light. That was actually the place where the infection was most intense. If he stepped into it, he would probably be immersed in it and be more affected by the opposite world.

So he did not choose to pass through there, but jumped and stepped on the remaining wall. After walking two steps sideways, he jumped onto another piece of remaining ground that seemed to be floating in the light. After taking a few steps forward, he came to the front of the gate.

Because of the light, he couldn't see what was happening far away. Now he looked up and saw that as if because of the connection between the two worlds, there were densely packed tiny holes on the round door that let in light.

And among those countless tiny lights, he could see that part of the huge body had seeped in like quicksand.

He reached out and punched the door, causing it to shake violently. Even though the door seemed to have been penetrated like a sieve, it remained thick and solid. Then something was thrown from behind, and he reached out and grabbed it, finding it was a disc-shaped steering key.

Aunt Yu reminded from the back: "Mr. Chen, be careful of the ceremony inside."

Chen Chuan thanked him and turned around. It seemed that there were ritual obstacles behind this door, but these were just trivial matters to him.

He found the lock and stuck the steering key on it. After it was fitted, he just turned it slightly, and a ritual node embedded in it broke with a click. All the ritual patterns surrounding the door instantly lost their function.

He reached out and pushed, and a metal door large enough for one person to walk through was pushed open and moved back inside along the sliding track. He walked in quickly.

Once inside, the signs of emptiness on the second self intensified immediately. He looked up and saw a circular tunnel in front of him without any decoration. However, the walls and the ground were covered with dense ritual patterns, which seemed to be carved on them. The interior was filled with some kind of ritual materials emitting a green glow.

It seems that it is because of these and some other indescribable things that the existence of the material world is firmly locked and is not penetrated too much by the light.

At this moment in his spiritual world, he saw that the extended part of that existence was trying hard to stretch forward.

However, what caught his eye was a mass of something that looked like a condensation of some brain tissue and blood vessels.

This should be Meng Huang's last body tissue and the only part that can be attached. A foot similar to a budding tissue is extending from the bottom, slowly wriggling forward on the ground, but perhaps affected by the ritual, the further it goes, the slower it becomes.

Chen Chuan looked past it and looked forward. There seemed to be something like a wellhead at the end of the tunnel. That should be the target of this existence, but he would not let it pass.

He swung his long sword and stepped forward. As he walked, his second self was erratic under the influence of the ritual, but it did not hinder his steps.

The thing seemed to sense his arrival and sped up its movements, but it was no use because the ritual hindered it and its speed was too slow in comparison.

Chen Chuan walked step by step behind it, then raised the Xuejun Knife high, pointed the tip of the knife at the thing, and thrust it down suddenly. The thing immediately twitched violently and struggled.

At this moment, his brows were twitching slightly, and in his mental perception, the behemoth seemed to have noticed him all of a sudden. At this moment, the ritual materials on the surrounding walls were disappearing rapidly like powder on the wall blown by a strong wind, and the second me was so weak that it was almost invisible.

He remained unmoved and held the blade firmly.

At this time, he felt the Xuejun Sword vibrate slightly, and the things inside seemed to be eager to come out, and transmitted a trace of thoughts to him.

This thing has long been integrated with the alienated tissue in the sword, and those alienated tissues can be regarded as part of himself, so if he does not agree, it will definitely not be able to get out.

He thought about it and released his restraints.

The next moment, strands of something like light mist floated out from the blade and wrapped around the thing underneath, as if it was desperately absorbing something.

After just a few breaths, the mass underneath stopped struggling, and after a while, it turned into sand-like debris. It seemed that at the same time, the flickering lights outside disappeared without a trace.

In his spiritual world, the connection with the behemoth was instantly severed, and he felt a sense of relief all over his body.

Looking down, there was only a pile of material that had shattered into gravel under the knife.

At this moment, the light mist also slowly returned to the blade. He felt it and found that the thing gave him a sense of satisfaction like a full meal.

He thought about it and did not immediately explore what it was. He pulled the knife from the ground and walked forward until he came to the wellhead. Looking inside, he could see a metal staircase at the edge of the well wall for people to walk down.

He didn't try to find out what was underneath. He just took a look and turned away.

After coming outside, he found that although the outside had returned to normal, the part that was soaked in the light seemed to have undergone some changes, and there were rustling debris falling from it.

Aunt Yu had been waiting outside. Seeing him walk out calmly, not at all like he had walked through those ritual runes, she couldn't help but admire him.

To ensure safety, anyone except Meng Lai had to brave the extra rituals every time she passed through. It was definitely not easy. Perhaps only a fighter with strong physical qualities like Chen Chuan could perform with such ease.

She said, "Mr. Chen, we have to get out quickly. There may be a risk of collapse here."

Chen Chuan nodded and came out with her. They saw two people in the uniforms of the Processing Bureau waiting there. It seemed that the people from the Processing Bureau had arrived.

"Executive Chen, are you okay?" Lao Wan and Xiao Lu came up.

When they saw the crack, they felt relieved but also a little worried, because the appearance of the crack meant that the existence on the opposite side had given up on attaching to them, and the problem was basically solved.

However, this is often the time when the infection is most serious. If the accumulation of essence, blood and spirit is insufficient, problems may arise.

Chen Chuan said: "I'm fine."

Lao Wan and Xiao Lu looked him up and down. Fortunately, there was no problem on the surface. As long as he remained rational, everything would be fine. Even if there was any problem, there was a way to solve it.

Although he had already guessed the result, Lao Wan still asked cautiously, "Executive Chen, what happened to that thing?"

Chen Chuan said confidently, "It's been resolved."

The two of them looked a little more relaxed.

Meng Huang has been eliminated, and the most important thing is that the impact has not expanded, so the situation is still under control. At the same time, they feel a little ashamed and admire Chen Chuan, because this was almost accomplished by Chen Chuan alone, and they could not help much except running a few steps.

However, due to their own responsibilities and procedures, they still need to confirm it again.

Lao Wan said solemnly to Aunt Yu, "We need to go to the scene and check it out."

Aunt Yu said cautiously, "Let me take you there."

Chen Chuan then said to Aunt Yu, "Ms. Yu, where is the safe house?"

Seeing that Jie Ping had recovered, Aunt Yu sent him a location and apologized, "It's right here, Mr. Chen. I apologize for not being able to accompany you right now."

Chen Chuan said: "It's okay, I can go there by myself."

After separating from a few people, he came out of the underground passage and looked up at the golden sunlight near noon. He spread out his palm to feel the warmth, and then shook it.

When he faced that existence just now, the intense stimulation caused his alienated tissue to continue growing.

However, this kind of growth is restless and random, and it needs to be controlled by spirit and blood to suppress and correct it.

It cannot be said that he lost out with this in and out. After all, medicines that nourish both of them are much easier to find. If special medicines are scarce in the future, this can be a substitute.
