"Is that Cao Yuan?" Jiang Er frowned as he looked at the illusory figure that walked out of the black flames, and asked uncertainly, "How did he become like this..."

"After the divine punishment came, two-thirds of his body had been melted, and his brain, heart and other important organs had all turned to ashes. It stands to reason that he could not have survived, let alone destroyed a city." An Qingyu pushed his glasses and analyzed calmly:

"That black pillar of fire that shot up into the sky was the same as the evil flame released by his [Black King Slash] after it went berserk. He was able to survive under such circumstances and quickly repair his body, probably because of this forbidden ruins..."

"Is Cao Yuan so strong?" Jiang Er couldn't help but ask, "He destroyed an entire city and killed so many oracles. Isn't this close to the ceiling of human strength?"

"That's not Cao Yuan." An Qingyu said confidently, "Cao Yuan doesn't remember anything about what happened after the divine punishment came, and I have checked his body repeatedly, and he doesn't have that level of power in his body...

That power comes from [Black King Slash] itself."

"Forbidden Ruins? But isn't that just an ability? How can it have its own consciousness?"

"It's true that Forbidden Ruins is just an ability, but the fact is that [Black King Slash] is not just an ability." An Qingyu looked at Jiang Er, "Don't you think it's strange? If [Black King Slash] is just an ability, why is the trigger condition to draw the sword? Why can't Cao Yuan activate Forbidden Ruins by his own will?

Why did Cao Yuan lose control of his body when he activated the Forbidden Ruins? When the evil flames were wrapped around his body, what was controlling his body? Why was he grinning?

You know, even in the King Ruins, there won’t be such a situation where the Forbidden Ruins can control the host in turn.”

Jiang Er stood there in a daze.

"Forbidden Ruins Sequence 031, [Black King Slash] below the God Ruins and above all living things is far from as simple as it seems." An Qingyu's eyes flickered with a gray light, "In my opinion, Cao Yuan is not the master of this Forbidden Ruins at all...

He is just a prison that holds the Black King captive."

"Is he a prison?" Jiang Er didn't quite understand what An Qingyu meant.

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain all this. Cao Yuan was clearly killed by divine punishment, but his body still automatically repaired itself and even killed several oracles and destroyed a city... And the reason why all this happened might just be because Cao Yuan, the prison that imprisoned the [Black King], was destroyed...

Then, the Black King ran out."

"Where is the Black King now? Has he left Cao Yuan?"

"Impossible. If the [Black King] escaped, the entire 'Human Circle' would not have survived. Moreover, without it, Cao Yuan would not have been able to survive under the erosion of the Bone Corrosion Lock for two years and still have a strong self-regeneration ability."

An Qingyu pondered for a moment and analyzed: "I think that Cao Yuan's 'prison' should be more than just a simple physics prison. It is a 'prison' of fate."

"What is the 'prison' of fate?" Jiang Er was becoming more and more confused.

"As long as the concept of 'Cao Yuan' still exists, [Black King] cannot escape from this 'prison'. Even if his physical body dies, [Black King] can only gain temporary freedom and cannot completely escape from the concept of 'Cao Yuan'."

The more An Qingyu spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and a long-lost glow of excitement ignited in his eyes.

"These are just my guesses. Before we dissect his brain, we may not be able to come up with accurate answers... Since he won't die even if his skull is opened, maybe if I talk to him carefully, he'll be willing to let me do the dissection..."

The corner of Jiang Er's mouth twitched slightly, "I don't think so..."

An Qingyu sighed, "In any case, it's best not to let Cao Yuan know about this... Due to his childhood experiences, he is a bit introverted. Once he knows that he is just a 'prison', he will probably doubt his life even more and may even quit the [Night Squad]."

"Quit the team? Is that serious?"

"Once he dies, the Black King will come out and launch a terrifying indiscriminate attack. Have you forgotten how Hachimantai City disappeared?" An Qingyu gave her a complicated look, "If this happens during a team mission, no one will survive, whether it's the enemy or us.

Do you think he will stay in the team after he knows the danger his presence means? "

Jiang Er fell into silence.

Indeed, given Cao Yuan's personality, he would rather leave the Nightfall team than put the other team members in such a dangerous situation...

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll just tell Qiye about this matter when the time comes and see what he has in mind." An Qingyu seemed to have thought of something. "By the way, did Cao Yuan tell me Lin Qiye's phone number?"

"I've already tracked his location through the signal, and we can establish contact at any time."

"Okay, let's connect directly to the video device next to him. We have collected so much intelligence, it's time to put it to use..."

…

Hokkaido.

The Black Kill Group's convoy drove into a magnificent high-end club. Before flying to Hokkaido, Shen Qingzhu's right-hand men had already helped him take care of everything. The entire club was the Black Kill Group's property. Now that the team leader Shen Qingzhu had arrived in person, the club had been completely cleared, and all the team members stood respectfully outside the door, bowing deeply to the incoming vehicles.

After getting off the car, several people followed Shen Qingzhu's younger brother directly to the highest-level box in the club to continue exchanging information.

"So, the source of the divine power in this 'Human Circle' is the Pure Land?" The knight thought after listening to Wei Dong's introduction, "Seven oracles equivalent to the 'Klein' realm... They are not very strong, and are still far behind the 'Human Circle' managers in Northern Europe and Greece."

Wei Dong nodded. "Once the follow-up troops of the Shangxie Society arrive, it won't be difficult to eliminate the seven Oracles. However, the technological power of the Pure Land is a blend of the power of the gods, so it won't be easy to break through there...

Once the Oracles take possession of the Pure Land, things will be troublesome. Unless the Guild Master takes action personally, we will likely end up in a stalemate."

The knight fell silent.

Lin Qiye, Shen Qingzhu and Jia Lan sat on the sofa next door, silently eating the fruits on the plates. Baili Pangpang had been settled in a separate room and continued to sleep and recuperate.

At this moment, the large TV screen in the box suddenly jumped automatically!
