There is only one abyss fissure in Lingquan City, located on the edge of the old industrial area in the east of the city.
As the destination approached, the number of ordinary people on the bus became visibly fewer, while the number of warriors carrying knives, swords, and various weapons increased.
Li Wei sat there, feeling uncomfortable all over. She could always feel many undisguised eyes scanning her.
Especially the muscular man with a big knife in front of him, his eyes, wow, are like looking at prey, full of naked desire.
Li Wei glared at him unhappily.
Instead, he became even more excited. He deliberately puffed out his chest muscles, raised his right hand, pointed at the double-star warrior badge on his chest, and raised his eyebrows with great pride.
Li Wei rolled her eyes in her heart, he is just a second-level warrior... look at what he can do.
Look at his big beard and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, they can trap mosquitoes. He must be at least 40 years old, right?
A second-level person at the age of forty, is that an honor?
As if sensing Li Wei's poorly concealed contempt, the muscular man's face darkened and he wanted to move forward.
Li Wei's body tensed instantly, and her jade-like arms crossed in front of her chest.
"Okay."
Someone stopped the muscular man.
As he spoke, a young man with a scar on his face squeezed over and glanced at Li Wei up and down. There was no malice in his eyes, but rather a bit...
Envy? Admiration?
"Captain?" The muscular man looked unconvinced, but did not dare to confront him.
The scarred young man gave him a light kick on the calf, the sound neither loud nor soft enough for those around him to hear.
"Don't make trouble! His Qi and blood are at least 70, his muscles and bones are throbbing, he's a top student at Wuda University, why are you joining in the fun?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a buzzing in the carriage, and then it became eerily quiet.
All those unscrupulous gazes just now were quickly retracted, and everyone was either looking out the window or at the floor, pretending to be good citizens.
Li Wei's mouth twitched, and she thought, how did he see that?
But her body relaxed. At least the trouble was solved and she didn't have to exert any effort.
I never expected that just one click could change my life circumstances so drastically.
No one looked at her anymore until the bus arrived at the stop.
Li Wei was happy to be alone, so she got out of the car and followed the crowd towards the entrance of the crevice.
There is only one open public crevice in the urban area of Lingquan, and there are so many warriors, as well as people setting up stalls and watching the fun, it is so crowded that it is like a big market.
Li Wei is not a formal warrior, so she can't enter and naturally doesn't have to queue.
She squeezed in and out of the crowd and finally managed to get to a place closer to the entrance checkpoint, where she found a corner to hide in.
[System, it's up to you, bring out some essence...]
Two hours later...
"Sister, are you alone? Want to go out and play with your brother?" Another greasy warrior came over and started a conversation.
Li Wei didn't even bother to raise her eyelids: "No, thank you."
It’s already the eighth one!
She gradually realized that standing there, with her black dress, white skin, and eye-catching face, she looked like...
"Damn it!" Li Wei cursed and quickly slipped away.
Being a warrior is a profession with high pay, high pressure and high energy. How can she not be harassed if she stands there like a prostitute?
Sitting back on the bus for the return trip, Li Wei looked at the motionless [Essence of the Abyss: 17] on the panel and felt depressed.
At this moment, a piece of news suddenly appeared on the car display screen behind the driver's seat.
At 1:53 AM this morning, our city's Abyssal Energy Monitoring Station detected abnormal high-intensity fluctuations. Analysis confirmed that... The location is in Baihuai District...
[The Municipal Fissure Investigation Bureau's action team immediately...]
The scene cuts to a middle-aged man in uniform with a bunch of microphones pointed at his face.
"...Every second we arrive earlier, the citizens are less in danger..."
"In this operation, we dispatched... We killed one tier six Abyss monster and fifteen tier four Abyss monsters... We suffered no significant casualties..."
Li Wei's eyes lit up.
"Sure enough! The timing matches!" she cried in her mind. "[Abyss Essence] is indeed related to the Abyss Monster! That ambulance last night must have been carrying the injured from the Investigation Bureau in this operation!"
His thoughts suddenly became clear: "It's likely that the essence will be released only after the Abyss Monster is killed! And the essence can also be 'sticky' to people nearby? Otherwise, there's no explanation for the black light last night! We can't just carry the Abyss Monster into the ambulance!"
"But..." A new question arises. "I just spent two hours at the rift mouth. At least a few hundred warriors have just come out after fighting. How come I didn't absorb any essence? Is it a time limit? Or is there some other reason?"
Thinking of this, she quickly took out the broken mobile phone with a cracked screen, clicked on the artificial intelligence assistant named "Lingzhi", and typed quickly with her fingers.
Me: What procedures does a warrior have to go through to come out of the rift?
Spiritual Intelligence: [Standard Rift Evacuation Procedure V3.7]... (a long list)... Mandatory decontamination (standard duration 4 hours)...
Li Wei swiped the screen, her eyes fixed on the words "four-hour disinfection".
"Could it be a matter of time and disinfection?" she pondered. "If someone from the Investigation Bureau was injured, they would definitely be rushed to the hospital immediately. How could they have time for a four-hour disinfection?"
"As for the living Abyss monsters..." She thought of the special trucks she had seen just outside the rift entrance. "There's no need to go to the Abyss Monster Park in the north of the city. Those trucks carrying the living Abyss monsters were less than five meters away from me, and the system didn't react at all."
