Task 6
Just as Ying Yungui thought, Will Ferrier's behavior caused quite a stir in the super-evolution circle, but everyone tacitly contributed their manpower and manpower to suppress the subsequent chain events. Some of the events that were really difficult to handle were simply made to look like attacks by fugitives.
Therefore, not only were ordinary people kept in the dark, but even most of the psychics in the association were unaware of the inside story and really thought it was another targeted sabotage incident by the Maintenance Bureau.
......
Nearly two months passed in a flash, and He Xian's condition was finally adjusted. After dozens of tests, there was no elimination reaction, so Shi Youchen prepared to start sealing the Wolf Totem.
That day, he took Pei Chanbai to the Mirage Abyss as agreed before, and first took him to the altar area.
"Isn't the association able to detect the information of people with superpowers? You brought me here, aren't you afraid that they will find out?" Pei Chanbai was attracted by the altar in front of him and didn't even bother to pause the game.
Shi Youchen sneered, "You still don't know what methods they use to monitor people with special abilities?"
"Hmm?" Pei Chanbai walked up to the pedestal and looked at one of the long pillars thoughtfully.
"The pills you take every year are made based on perception-type abilities. They transmit information from the psychic's body back to the terminal, which is the Information Department."
Pei Chanbai said nonchalantly, "So the energy of the same attribute here is more advanced, and it will cover and block the association's energy, right?"
Shi Youchen walked to the long pillar he was looking at and asked meaningfully, "Are you interested in this pattern?" He pointed at the scorpion claws drawn with faint flowing light on it.
"...Looks familiar." Pei Chanbai felt something strange about his body, as if something was about to come out from inside.
Shi Youchen finally explained to him, "I know everything about you and He Xian. The dream you had a few years ago, or rather, your soul leaving your body, was because your bloodline was recognized, so that power called out to you."
"Bloodline? What bloodline?" Pei Chanbai's eyes were silent.
Shi Youchen looked at his indifferent expression, recalling the series of cruel truths he had unraveled in the past. He told him, "District 9 wasn't originally the weakest place in the world. It once had a prominent supernatural family. You are the last descendant of that bloodline, a descendant of the Pei family who possesses the power of 'creation.'"
As he spoke, he pushed Pei Chanbai to the center of the altar, summoned the chains on each long pillar, and tied him up in them.
"What are you going to do?!" He Xian suddenly appeared at this moment, and after seeing Shi Youchen's actions, he hurriedly asked, "Don't..."
"Don't worry, he already has the power of the totem within him, so he won't be affected by the stone pillars." Shi Youchen didn't stop what he was doing, and replied to He Xian without looking up, "I'm just using these to show him the truth of what happened back then."
He Xian visibly breathed a sigh of relief, lowering his shoulders as he walked over to the two of them. He took Pei Chanbai's hand and squeezed it gently. "I'm fine, don't be afraid." Pei Chanbai couldn't move, so he could only speak to comfort him.
Pei Chanbai was released a moment later. As Shi Youchen had expected, he showed neither resentment nor any strong dissatisfaction. He simply held He Xian's hand tightly and said, "I've been alone for as long as I can remember, and I've lived like this all these years. Pei's ancestors, super evolution, are nothing compared to our promise to me. My feelings remain the same."
"Be it a year or a day, on the day of doom, ask me if I regret it."
......
With the efforts of the decision-making group controlled by Patriarch Ryan, the matter of the Filler clan was finally settled with Will Filler and a temporary consensus was reached. The current top priority was set to recover Floy Belmond's body, and for this purpose, an order was issued to the entire District 13 to temporarily implement a ban on entry and no exit.
So both the Belmond and Feller tribes focused their attention on the area outside of a certain rainforest in District 13. This was also the biggest concession Will Feller made under the circumstances. He said, "Even my brother had to go there and break his skin before he could get out. It has always been a forbidden area for our tribe. I'm just afraid that if you go in alive, you won't be able to come back alive. Then I will be the one who caused the Belmond clan to be wiped out."
And this terrifying forbidden land he mentioned is now welcoming several unfamiliar faces.
"You mean, the origin of Wolf Totem is here?" He Xian looked left and right at the giant crater beneath his feet, which looked like it was created by an alien force. He was shocked. "Why have I never heard of this place before?"
Logically speaking, such a unique terrain and scenery should have been spread long ago, but even someone like him who likes to wander around doesn't know of its existence.
The area of the tiankeng is larger than that of an ordinary island. All you can see are blue and green colors, but the sky seems to be covered with a layer of fog, making it impossible to see the details of the situation below.
Shi Youchen said, "It didn't look like this before. It only gradually became like this after the southern medicinal forest burned down that year." He Xian exclaimed, "Are you saying that the medicinal forest wasn't actually burned down, but was moved here?"
"It was probably Wolf Feller's idea. At that time, Flovitch was still around, and Lynch and the others didn't have the guts to do such a thing under the Association's nose."
Pei Chanbai said nothing, but his brows furrowed unconsciously because he smelled a very pungent smell.
At that moment, Furen folded his black wings and landed behind the group. "Mr. Sasa, we found it. There's an entrance up there that looks like a mine," he said respectfully.
Shi Youchen wasn't surprised, so he asked, "How high is it, and what does it look like?" Furen thought for a moment and said, "About ten meters above the miasma, with an opening like the fangs of a wild beast."
"That's right, let's go." The four of them leaped into the air and arrived at the place Furen had described. The entrance was on the inside of the mountain. Just as Furen had described, it resembled the gaping mouth of a wild beast, with sharp fangs bared. The inside looked quite normal, except that, unlike ordinary caves, it clearly felt like a passage extending downwards.
"Batajaka." Shi Youchen suddenly blurted out a sentence, and Furen trembled all over after hearing it.
"What do you mean?" He Xian and Pei Chanbai asked in confusion.
Shi Youchen glanced at Furen, whose face was pale, and said, "The Gate of Hell, that's what they call it in District 13. Wolf once mentioned it unintentionally, but I didn't expect it to really exist."
At this time, Fren actually took the initiative to speak: "I heard a long time ago that some experimental subjects who made mistakes would be thrown into Batagaka..."
Pei Chanbai didn't know his origins and assumed he was someone who had volunteered to join the Mirage Sea Abyss like He Xian. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you mean by a test subject who made a mistake? Who abandoned him?"
Fren's face grew paler, even the color on his lips faded completely. "They are the experimental subjects of the Filler family. Some who can't stand it will try to escape, and they are cleared out every once in a while."
"So, you were thrown in here?" Pei Chanbai didn't notice that there was something wrong with Furen's condition, and he inadvertently provoked him.
Just as He Xian was about to pull him back and stop him, Shi Youchen pulled out a handful of spikes from his space capsule, handed them to him, and said, "Batajaka is the intersection between this place and the outside world. There's more than one. Such openings will affect the flow of internal energy. To ensure a successful seal later, we must seal these entrances."
He Xian glanced at the palm of his hand and found that the spike was as thick as his palm and a finger, and faintly visible blue patches among the black. "What is this?"
"The sealing nails are made from the fragments of the pillars on the altar. They can suppress the single power of any totem. You two take these sealing nails and go nail all the batagakas around the tiankeng." As he spoke, Youchen took one and stabbed it hard into the soil at the entrance of the cave.
The surroundings remained unchanged, but Pei Chanbai noticed that the pungent odor he'd smelled earlier had vanished. He Xian glanced at the nails again and said decisively, "Even if Xiaobai used his abilities to create a short-distance flight vehicle, it would take at least six hours to circle a tiankeng this size. We can definitely do it, but you..."
He knew that Shi Youchen's arrangement of the tasks meant that he would definitely leave the most difficult and dangerous part to himself, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I will go in from the outside with Furen. We will not go too deep before you finish your side. Then we will meet at the location of the last Batagaka." Shi Youchen's tone was unquestionable, and He Xian didn't know what to say.
After He Xian and Pei Chanbai left with their mission, Shi Youchen led Furen deeper into the cave. When their figures disappeared, the sharp stone spikes at the entrance of the cave, like the fangs of wild beasts, were slowly retracted.
......
There was nothing else to feel in the cave except the coldness, and Furen just followed Shi Youchen without saying a word.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two finally saw a glimmer of light ahead. After completely walking out of the cave, they discovered that it was actually a ray of sunlight shining from above.
"It seems that the fog and miasma here are mostly aimed at conscious bodies." Shi Youchen handed a mask to Furen, "Put it on and don't take it off without my order." "Yes." Furen obeyed his orders.
Shi Youchen himself did not wear any covering and walked in calmly.
After only a few dozen steps forward, they discovered all kinds of strange-shaped plants growing there. Although most of them were low shrubs, a small part of them had already taken human shapes.
Shi Youchen frowned and looked at a cluster of leaves that was as tall as a person. He saw two long leaves that looked like thin arms swaying left and right at him.
Seeing this, Furen was about to draw his sword and step forward, but Shi Youchen stopped him: "In here, you must do what I tell you to do, otherwise I will personally execute you as a traitor."
Fren suddenly heard his cold tone and retreated back in a cold sweat: "Yes, I understand." Shi Youchen glanced at the bush that was obviously drooping and snorted.
