A certain squad from the Third Military Region entered Quilmo City cautiously.

It had been less than a week since Quilmo City was destroyed. They had just cleared the evil spirits outside the city and only started to walk into the city today.

As the first squad to enter Quilmo City, their members were very capable, and their captain was a very experienced veteran who was said to have participated in the rescue of Duna City fifteen years ago.

As soon as they entered the city gate, an evil spirit rushed over, but they were quickly dealt with.

A member of the team neatly caught the blood crystal of the evil spirit, glanced at it casually, and threw it into his bag: "D-level."

Then two more evil spirits rushed over.

"One C and one D." The team member tossed the two blood crystals in his palm, his face showing joy, "Save more, and you can buy the Quicksand Card."

There is an unwritten rule in the army that if the team goes out on a mission, the blood crystals obtained after killing evil spirits can be used by the team at will.

In the past, most blood crystals flowed into the black market, but now everyone will keep them. If you save enough and add some star coins, you can buy very good auxiliary cards.

At this time, another evil spirit sneaked up from behind.

A white-tailed hawk swooped down from the sky and bit the evil spirit fiercely.

Just as the evil spirit felt pain and turned to catch the white-tailed hawk, a water dragon directly restrained him. The white-tailed hawk took the opportunity to break free from him and landed on one of the team members.

The team member controlled the water dragon card, and several people worked together to solve the evil spirit.

After the end, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If it weren't for the water dragon card, his God Card would be injured.

He gently touched the back of the white-tailed hawk, and the white-tailed hawk also rubbed his palm.

Since they can buy these cheap and powerful auxiliary cards, they have been more calm in dealing with evil spirits, and the probability of God Card being injured has also been greatly reduced.

Everyone is more determined to kill more evil spirits and obtain blood crystals to exchange for auxiliary cards.

The captain shook his head helplessly, but did not stop them. He just said: "Be careful. After all, the city is destroyed. Who knows if there will be powerful evil spirits..."

He was still worried.

A team member asked curiously: "Is the gray fog really that powerful?" The

captain glanced at him and said: "Don't take it lightly. If you see it, run away quickly. If you run slower, you may lose your life."

He said it very seriously, and the team members were scared: "Is this so exaggerated?"

The captain did not say anything else, but held the recorder steadily, carefully and meticulously recording the situation around him.

As the first team to enter Quilmo City, killing evil spirits is not the most important thing. The key is to record the situation in the city and pass it on.

At this moment, the team members of the White-tailed Hawk suddenly turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Don't... don't go forward!"

Everyone was stunned.

Following the shrill voice of the White-tailed Hawk, they all subconsciously looked up at the sky in front of them.

They saw that the clear sky turned gray at some point.

The captain's face changed drastically, and he said in a sharp voice: "Let's go!"

Because of the matter in Quilmo City, several admirals left the VIP room and went to another room.

Gwen and Agla had another detailed conversation before hanging up the communicator. Gwen said with a serious expression, "Gray fog has indeed been found in Quilmo City, but it is not as extensive as the gray fog in Duna City at that time, and its ability is not that strong, so the situation is not serious now, and he can still control it."

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

Leus said slowly, "We have experience dealing with gray fog before, as long as we are careful, there will be no problem."

Qin Ke said, "Fortunately, it is Quilmo City, where all the bad guys and wanted criminals gather, and it is a good thing to be destroyed."

The others frowned slightly.

At this time, Noah suddenly said, "Haven't you noticed that there have been a lot more such things in the past few years?"

Everyone was silent.

In fact, evil spirits have always been invading. Although each military region has patrolled the defense line, the scope is too wide and the military region is short of manpower. In addition, the terrain between the defense lines is very complicated, and it is basically a gray area, which makes it even more difficult to control these fish that slip through the net.

It’s just that in the past, the general invasions were only some not-so-strong evil spirits, but since twenty years ago, there have been frequent invasions of S-level or even S-level evil spirits. Moreover, they often hide in some remote and desolate towns. By the time they are discovered, it is already very difficult to deal with them.

For example, Duna City, Leus and Gwen are now unwilling to recall the scene at that time.

Leus said calmly, "When the temple cooperated with us, they said that they were following the will of God and protecting the Saint Rovis continent. However, in recent years, the invasion of evil spirits has become more and more frequent, and countless soldiers and civilians have been killed and injured. Is it... that God has abandoned us? Or has the temple been deceiving us all these years?"

"Leus!"

Several people interrupted him in unison.

Leus looked indifferent: "Have you never thought about this?"

No one said anything.

In fact, they also had doubts and complaints.

Only on the card drawing day every year, when they saw the cards coming out of the God's card pool, could they be reassured that God has not abandoned his people.

But this also made them more suspicious.

As the spokesperson of God, why is the temple so greedy and arrogant?

Especially since even the most important line of defense was embezzled by people and sold as inferior products, which made their resentment reach its peak.

But they thought so in their hearts, and no one had the courage to say it as bluntly as Leus.

Leus laughed at himself: "I am old and my body is not good. My only hope is that peace and tranquility will be restored to the continent of Saint Robert, although I may not see it before I die..."

"Leus, don't say such sad words." Qin Ke patted his shoulder stiffly.

Leus shook his head and didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked at Gwen and Noah: "Be careful, if you need my help with anything, contact me in time."

"Okay." Gwen nodded.

Noah raised his lips and pretended to be relaxed: "If the three military district admirals can't solve it, then there will be a big problem."

A faint smile appeared in Leus' eyes: "Go, I will pray for you."

Gwen and Noah didn't say anything more, and soon left Cor City quietly in the aircraft without attracting anyone's attention.

Leus and Qin Ke returned to the VIP room again.

Mrs. Hollis hurriedly asked: "Two admirals, how is the situation?"

Qin Ke said briefly, and Mrs. Hollis breathed a sigh of relief.

Fakken Academy is not particularly far from Quilmo City. She was a little worried that it would affect the academy. She was restless just now and didn't even have the mood to care about the situation of the game.

Although the other principals were not as uneasy as Mrs. Hollis, they had all heard about the tragic situation in Duna City that year, so they were somewhat absent-minded.

Now, after hearing Qin Ke's words, everyone felt relieved and turned their attention back to the competition.

At this time, they were shocked to find that Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong had actually walked around the entire city.

And they had found the black market through a bunch of clues.

When Gu Xingmian saw the black market, his eyes lit up.

The black market! He was so familiar with it!

Gu Xingmian felt as comfortable as if he had returned home, and brought Xiao Qiong to the warehouse of the black market with ease.

As soon as they entered the warehouse, not only Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong, but also the audience in front of the screen felt as if their eyes had been washed.

It was like suddenly removing a gray filter, and everything returned to its true color.

Even if Gu Xingmian didn't feel it specifically, he knew that this place was different from all the previous areas.

"Hey, so the key part is in the black market warehouse?"

Gu Xingmian looked at the various goods in the warehouse curiously. It must be said that other people's warehouses are more fun to visit.

Moreover, as a competition map for the four-school league, it is still very expensive. Everything here is real.

However, he just took a simple stroll and roughly understood the structure of the black market warehouse here. After that, he walked towards the warehouse where the valuables were kept without hesitation.

Outside the screen, someone said weakly: "To be honest, I am a black market guy, but I am not as familiar with it as he is. Is this also a skill of UR card?"

At this time, Clement, who was also watching the game, coughed lightly.

I don't know if it is a skill of UR card, but it is definitely a skill of Gu Xingmian.

He couldn't help but think of the warehouse that they had looted in those years.

Gu Xingmian pushed open the warehouse door and saw that the shelves were full of various auxiliary cards.

Gu Xingmian: "!!!"

He walked forward quickly and just touched it casually, and he knew that these were all genuine auxiliary cards.

It is worthy of being a four-school league! This is a bold move.

At this moment, he is like a gourmet, facing a table of delicacies.

But he soon withdrew his hand with regret. If he was not broadcasting live, he would have taken action.

His feverish mind calmed down slightly, and he remembered the business.

Xiao Qiong also came back after checking: "No danger."

Gu Xingmian nodded: "I guess the clues should be in these warehouses, let's search one by one."

So the two of them started from this warehouse and searched one by one.

Soon, they found the warehouse where the blood crystal was placed.

The two searched around and didn't find anything. When they were about to leave for the next warehouse, Gu Xingmian suddenly saw the recorder on the table.

Gu Xingmian opened the recorder and found that it was the inventory record of the warehouse.

He turned to the inventory record of the blood crystal.

Each piece of blood crystal was photographed and registered. Gu Xingmian checked it and found something wrong. He pointed to one of the blood crystals and said to Xiao Qiong: "Look, there is something wrong with this blood crystal."

Xiao Qiong looked carefully. In the record, this blood crystal was from a B-level evil spirit. The color on the recorder was extremely bright, which was consistent with the record above, but the real thing was completely different. The color looked much lighter. It was at most a C-level, or even a D-level evil spirit's blood crystal.

People outside the screen were talking about it.

"Could it be that someone secretly replaced the blood crystal?"

"But what does this have to do with the gray fog outside? You can't say that the gray fog replaced the blood crystal, right?"

But on the side that they didn't see, Gu Xingmian remembered something and his face changed suddenly.

Just as he raised his hand tremblingly and wanted to touch the blood crystal, Xiao Qiong instantly held him: "Don't move, it may be dangerous."

Gu Xingmian came to his senses and realized that he was sweating coldly.

He subconsciously looked up at Xiao Qiong, but saw that Xiao Qiong's expression was as calm as ever.

But he knew that Xiao Qiong and he thought the same thing.

This blood crystal with a lighter color was most likely devoured by the gray mist evil spirit.

This was very similar to the situation after Gu Xingmian killed Ruohua.

But Gray Mist is an evil spirit, could he...

The force from his wrist interrupted Gu Xingmian's wild thoughts. Xiao Qiong slightly turned his body to cover his pale cheeks and whispered, "If you are afraid, return to my spiritual body first."

Gu Xingmian nodded in panic and then entered Xiao Qiong's spiritual body.

To outsiders, it seemed that Gu Xingmian was frightened by the blood crystal, and then Xiao Qiong's protective desire broke out and asked him to return to his spiritual body.

"Even if this blood crystal is related to the Gray Mist, there is no need to be so scared... Is UR Ka so timid?"

"This UR Ka is really weak. Do you remember how he was frightened by the Gray Mist when he first entered the game? If he hadn't found out later that the Gray Mist would not harm the God Card, he probably wouldn't have dared to run away."

"Yeah, the game lasted so long, and he was the one who stayed in the spiritual body the longest..."

In the VIP room, Qin Ke frowned: "What's wrong with this Xiao Qiong, is he too doting on his God Card?"

It's just a piece of blood crystal, nothing serious, just let people hide in the spirit body, what if they go to the battlefield?

And there is the UR card, the mission of the God Card is to go to the battlefield, how can he be so weak and so coquettish.

Qin Ke originally admired Xiao Qiong very much, and was thinking about recruiting him into the Second Military Region after Xiao Qiong graduated, but now he was hesitant.

Noah was not there, Li Chengji could only come out to smooth things over: "You can't say that, the UR card doesn't look like it has a strong combat power. Besides, it's very troublesome to treat the card when it is injured. It's not a big mistake for Xiao Qiong to be cautious."

Qin Ke snorted and said nothing.

Only Principal Baker was thoughtful at the scene.

After Gu Xingmian entered the spirit body, Xiao Qiong's slightly tense heart was finally put down.

But he had to put on a complete show, so he took out an auxiliary card and pretended to test it. When he was sure that the blood crystal would not cause any harm, he took out a recorder and took a picture of the blood crystal.

The prompt "+50 points" soon popped up on the recorder.

This meant that he had indeed found the key evidence.

Xiao Qiong pursed his lips.

Gu Xingmian: [So... evil spirits really devour the energy of blood crystals?]

Xiao Qiong: [You are not an evil spirit.]

Gu Xingmian: [...]

Xiao Qiong paused: [What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you are an alien, or that you will hurt humans?]

[This is a fear that only humans have.]

Gu Xingmian was stunned.

This sentence was like a sharp sword, splitting his chaotic brain.

After crossing over, Gu Xingmian kept reminding himself not to forget his identity as a human being.

Even though Gu Xingmian was just an ordinary person in the world, he had lived a mediocre and ordinary life for half his life, and he had many shortcomings. Before crossing over, he sometimes hated himself for being like this.

However, when he came to a strange world, everything was strange, but only the mediocre and ordinary human identity was the anchor that he was familiar with and would not get lost.

He would remember who he was and would no longer worry about gains and losses.

He was not the UR card identity given by others.

Nor was he a cruel and terrifying evil spirit.

The fog in Gu Xingmian's heart seemed to be blown away, and he whispered: [Thank you. 】

His emotions were conveyed to Xiao Qiong through his spirit body, and Xiao Qiong's lips relaxed and slightly raised: [You're welcome. 】

After Gu Xingmian figured it out, he no longer had as many concerns as before. He came out of his spirit body and felt much more relaxed: "We don't have to finish all the things, let's leave some space for Nanting and the others to play."

Xiao Qiong's eyes flashed with a smile: "Okay."

So, Gu Xingmian took him to look for Song Nanting and the others all over the city.

Previously, after they discovered the problem of this city, they "notified" Song Nanting and the others by leaving clues on the recorder.

Song Nanting did not disappoint everyone. With the existing clues, he guessed the problem of this city bit by bit, and also guessed how to solve it, which was to eliminate the gray fog above his head.

It's just that their strength is a little weaker, and they can't match the speed of other academies.

And just after they walked through a few "puzzles" with difficulty, they heard the prompt sound on the recorder.

Then, the huge "+50 points" on the recorder made their pupils tremble and stay where they were.

Eric swallowed his saliva: "Why do I feel that we and the boss are not on the same map at all."

The others also nodded vigorously.

Song Nanting rubbed his forehead and said, "I guess Xingmian should be able to sense the changes in the space here. It is much easier for them to enter each 'puzzle' than for us."

"What should we do now?" Nina asked.

"Wait." Song Nanting signaled Fu Fenglin to release the spores. In this way, as long as Gu Xingmian and his team entered this space, they should be able to find them.

Just as Song Nanting guessed, in this extremely dangerous city in their eyes, Gu Xingmian found them quickly as if he was walking in his own backyard.

Gu Xingmian told them about their experience and then led them back to the warehouse.

In fact, he originally wanted to take the blood crystal out directly, but he was afraid that something might happen. Besides, it would be easy for him to go back to the warehouse, so he gave up.

When Song Nanting and others followed him to the warehouse, everyone's expression was dull.

If they hadn't experienced how difficult it was to solve the gray mist, they wouldn't have reacted so much at this moment.

After Xiao Qiong said that the warehouse was safe, everyone was relieved, and Eric collapsed directly to the ground.

After resting for a while, Song Nanting gathered his energy to look at the blood crystal.

As Gu Xingmian said, he and Xiao Qiong did not intervene afterwards. Song Nanting integrated all the clues and sorted out the truth of the whole incident.

At that time, Duna City, as a small border town, was also a disaster area for blood crystal smuggling. The person in charge of managing the warehouse did not check carefully and allowed this batch of blood crystals to flow into the warehouse. In fact, there was a small piece of gray mist attached to this blood crystal.

The gray mist was very weak at first, but later hid in the corner, constantly devouring lives, and slowly became stronger.

Powerful evil spirits will attract similar ones. Some evil spirits that invaded the defense line were attracted to Duna City, and eventually caused Duna City to be destroyed.

Song Nanting told the story and directly scored a full score of 100.

Everyone nodded with satisfaction .

But after waiting for a while, there was no notice of the end of the game.

"What's going on?" Eric frowned, "Didn't we all get full marks?"

"Is there something we missed?" Nina guessed.

"Probably not." Song Nanting thought for a moment, "Is it time to wait until the competition is over?"

"That's still a long time!" Eric was shocked.

Originally, they thought 24 hours was a little short, but now that the problem has been solved, people can't leave, and suddenly they feel that 24 hours is a little long.

Gu Xingmian stretched his back and said, "Since we can't hand in the paper early, let's go out and get some more points."

"Get some points?"

"Kill the evil spirits!" Gu Xingmian said, "1 point each, a mosquito leg is still meat!"

"Well, okay."

Leus and others in the VIP room were all numb.

It's only been a few hours now! Not even half the time! They have already answered all the questions! !

According to Leus' previous setting, they should have been trapped by the gray fog, and then discovered the truth of the changes in the city, and then tried to break the gray fog, and in the arduous battle, they found clues bit by bit, and finally found the black market step by step.

Who told you to skip the steps and get the answers directly! !

Now you still think the time is too long!

The corners of Leus' mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

There were other spectators who had the same complicated mood as him.

They watched other groups fighting hard with the gray mist, exploring bit by bit. The process was full of ups and downs and excitement.

Every time they found a clue, everyone was very excited.

For a mere 10 points, they regarded it as a treasure.

And what about Mosca Academy?

Under the leadership of Gu Xingmian, they easily entered a "puzzle", "swished" and killed the evil spirits inside, and accumulated points.

Then Gu Xingmian, who had rested well, took them to the next "puzzle". The process was orderly and even a little boring.

When other academies were covered with injuries, but in order to save mental energy, they did not dare to use treatment cards easily.

Led by Gu Xingmian, Mosca College finished a round of evil spirits and returned to the warehouse to rest and sleep. It was a perfect combination of work and rest, and the years were quiet and good.

The audience was also numb.

"Hey, suddenly I feel a little sad about the efforts of the other three colleges..."

"The most tragic thing in the world is comparison."

"I have lived for a long time, but I have never seen such a four-school league!!"
