"The Thorn Cult takes the elimination of [pollution] as its divinely inspired mission."

Similarly, they believed that my attempt to create alchemical life had touched upon forbidden territory and would become a new form of [contamination].

So they imprisoned and sealed me here with the sacred lance of the sect, the Spear of Thorns.

Gu Xinghe quickly realized what was happening and picked up where Chris left off.

"But ironically, it was their so-called holy lance that later became the new source of pollution."

It is the core of the pollution in the entire Rose Manor.

This is also the reason why the Rose Manor instance was created.

As mentioned before, no method can completely eliminate pollution.

In the process of combating pollution, new pollution may even be generated uncontrollably.

Filled with immense rage, Gu Xinghe forcefully tried to pull the spear out of Chris's body.

The moment he touched the gun handle, countless eerie screams rang in his ears.

A black, viscous substance emerged from the spear and surged up Gu Xinghe's arm.

This was the first time Gu Xinghe had faced so much pollution since entering the Rose Manor.

Black sludge seemed to flow continuously over his body.

The pollution was being transmitted to him frantically from the spear.

He felt like a drowning person, with darkness blocking his view.

The seawater was viscous and icy cold, rendering him unable to move.

Meanwhile, an unknown entity in the ocean kept pulling him down into the deep sea.

The insane babbling echoed in his ears, constantly luring his mind and consciousness into a deep sleep.

Unable to see, Gu Xinghe, engulfed in pollution, noticed that his shadow was surging up again at this moment.

Emerging from the shadows, tentacles composed of black mist gradually solidified.

As Gu Xinghe plummeted uncontrollably downwards, the tentacles wrapped around his hand and pulled him toward the shore.

Pulled between the two sides, Gu Xinghe felt as if his consciousness was being frantically torn apart.

The pain exceeded his tolerance threshold, rendering him unable to even cry out in pain.

At this moment, it seemed that another force had emerged to pull him ashore.

He could feel that his consciousness was no longer in pain.

More and more tentacles emerged from the shadows.

Tentacles surrounded Gu Xinghe, gently patting his body as if to soothe his pain.

The darkness before him vanished, and Gu Xinghe opened his eyes; the previous illusions seemed to have disappeared.
