Chapter 20 Abducting Humans What if she could abduct more humans...
"No one knows what these black substances are, but they are very deadly to the world."
Cecia's eyes were filled with disgust and powerlessness. She turned her head and looked at Chen Ye: "We call it pollution."
“But they look scared of me?”
Perhaps because he found it novel, Chen Ye deliberately chased those gray and black particles and forced them into a corner.
As soon as Chen Ye's fingers touched the particles, the pollution dissipated immediately.
The pollution that was about to lead to the end of the world and terrified all the races was as fragile as a porcelain doll in Chen Ye's hands.
"…That's because you don't have magic power."
Watching with horror as the other played with pollution, she once again reaffirmed her status as the “savior” of mankind.
"Pollution can invade magic. If problematic magic enters the body, it will spread along the magic and spread throughout the body."
"Any creature with magical power cannot escape their corruption."
"As this world has developed, even the grass, trees, and weak insects have trace amounts of magic power. No creature can survive on polluted land. Therefore, we call it—"
"A place of dead silence."
After listening to her description, Chen Ye thought for a moment and said softly, "Because I am a human and have no magic power, the world needs me?"
"You could say that."
Cecia nodded.
"Pollution is expanding, and the speed of expansion is getting faster and faster. As the area of the Dead Land expands rapidly, the living space of various races has been squeezed to varying degrees."
"The demons are the ones whose territories are most polluted."
"Over the years, all the major races have tried to deal with the pollution, but even with all their efforts, they can only slow down the spread of the pollution, and cannot restore the polluted land."
"If this continues, pollution will one day spread to every corner, and the world will eventually be destroyed."
As the two talked, Chen Ye subconsciously played with the gray-black particles. After a few minutes, there was no more gray-black in the glass bottle, and it became pure.
This was because Chen Ye was absent-minded and the particles were constantly dodging, so it took a little longer.
Is this bloodline suppression?
She secretly observed Chen Ye's actions and became more and more impressed by the ingenuity of human beings.
If the so-called "copy" could allow her to obtain more humans, the pollution might really be completely eliminated.
Thinking of this, Cecilia picked up Chen Ye and put him back next to the stone tablet two meters away from the red line.
The stone tablet is half a person's height, with some strange patterns engraved on the outer wall and a transparent ball placed on the top.
Chen Ye leaned on the stone tablet, looking at the complicated pattern curiously.
"This is a boundary marker, used to slow the spread of pollution. Each race has one at its border."
Seeing that Chen Ye was interested, she introduced him casually.
“Will it stop the pollution?”
Chen Ye asked.
"No." She shook her head slowly, "But by injecting magic regularly, it can slow down the spread of pollution."
"According to my sister, so many powerful seniors are unable to stop the pollution, so what can I do?" Chen Ye asked.
"You're different from them."
She whispered.
"In ancient times, there were prophecies about world catastrophes, which recorded information about pollution and solutions."
"Because it happened so long ago, few people mentioned this prophecy until a hundred years ago, when the first piece of polluted land appeared."
"The scene was exactly the same as what was recorded in the prophecy, which is why it attracted people's attention. As for the solution, the prophecy only wrote two words - human beings."
At this point, she looked at Chen Ye and said seriously, "Hundreds of years ago, the humans in this world became extinct, and your appearance will become our only hope."
"Chen Ye, are you willing to save the world?"
"Of course!"
Chen Ye answered immediately, saying without hesitation: "After all, this is also my world now."
"Then try putting your hand on it."
As she spoke, she guided Chen Ye to touch the transparent sphere on the boundary marker.
Chen Ye did as he was told.
In an instant, a pure white gas gathered in the crystal ball.
At the same time, the pollution not far away seemed to be afraid of something. The gray-black particles lost their former leisure and flew around in the air like a group of headless flies.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the black at the border seemed to fade a little.
Five minutes later, the gas in the crystal ball stopped churning.
Chen Ye withdrew his hand, his face turned frighteningly pale, and he felt weak all over.
Her legs went limp and she was caught steadily by Cecia behind her.
Helping Chen Ye to sit down against the boundary marker, Cecilia went forward alone to check.
With just one glance, she knew it was not an illusion.
The pollution at the border seemed to have been purified by Chen Ye. The black soil that was originally less than half a meter away from the red line was now at least one meter away from the red line.
Over the past hundred years, the problems that all major races have tried their best to solve have been easily resolved by Chen Ye.
call--
She let out a long breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, returned to the boundary monument, and injected sufficient magic power into it to further slow down its spread.
Even if Chen Ye can really purify the pollution, it is obviously very physically demanding and cannot be completed overnight.
Before that, she must hide Chen Ye and never let other races know about the existence of humans.
Extending her hand to Chen Ye who was resting on the ground, Cecia said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have successfully obtained the VIP treatment of the demon clan."
…
After settling Chen Ye down, she stayed in the basement all day studying ancient books.
Although she didn't know how the so-called "game" had drawn Chen Ye and her into it, before entering the dungeon, there was one thing that was particularly suspicious -
Ancient magic circle.
Now that pollution is spreading faster and faster, the leaders of all races can no longer sit still. They put aside the prejudices and conflicts of hundreds of years, truly abandoned their own pride, and organized a secret meeting.
Only the leaders of each major race can attend this meeting, and the content of the meeting is strictly prohibited from being leaked because it involves the ancient magic circle passed down in the prophecy.
Rumor has it that activating an ancient magic circle can prevent the destruction of the world.
Using blood as lure and all things as bait, the ancient magic circle bursts out with dazzling light.
However, not only did no human appear in the magic circle, the polluted land did not decrease at all.
The leaders felt they had been deceived and kept silent about the matter.
And on the seventh day after the secret meeting, Cecilia was drawn into a strange game and met Chen Ye.
She doesn't think it was accidental.
Even though the process and method were different from what she had imagined, the result was that she really obtained human beings, and a breakthrough was made in the pollution problem.
It is still unknown how long Chen Ye needs to rest before he can purify again. If the other party's recovery speed cannot keep up with the speed of pollution expansion, then the world will only be destroyed later.
But what if she could abduct more humans?
If that strange game were to be played again, perhaps it would be possible to bring more humans to this world.
As long as there are enough humans, it is only a matter of time before all the pollution is purified.
To this end, she tried to find information about the ancient magic circle in ancient books, hoping to start the game again.
But in the end, nothing was gained.
She could open the game panel at any time, but all the buttons were gray, and neither the special items nor the identity skills could be used.
In desperation, she had to give up.
After staying in the basement for three whole days, Cecilia, with her messy blonde hair, saw the sunlight again after a long absence.
"Your Highness, please pay attention to your image."
An old voice came from behind her, and Cecilia adjusted her posture reflexively, even trying to tidy up her hair with her hands.
"Your Highness, I have told you many times that the Demon King must be dignified. You can no longer be as casual as before."
The white-haired elder said helplessly, the horns on her head indicated that she was also from the demon clan.
She took out a comb and began to comb the blonde hair as if she were taking care of a child.
"Catherine, why are you here..."
There was embarrassment in Cecia's voice, but she did not resist and let the other party take care of her hair.
"There is already a mountain of work waiting for you to do."
The old woman called Catherine pretended to be stern, then lowered her voice: "Also, I heard news about "him."
Hearing this, Cecilia's expression instantly turned cold, and her right hand subconsciously touched the blood-red rose on her collarbone.
"I just met him not long ago." She said coldly, "Although he has become the leader of the blood clan, he has not changed at all."
Catherine leaned over and whispered in her ear, "According to the latest information, he will temporarily live in the eastern territory of the vampires. We have already obtained the defense map there."
"It seems that I need to go..."
Cecilia turned around and was about to run out, but she heard Catherine's faint voice behind her.
"Your Highness, please take care of business first. Do you hope that this will be the last time you hear information about "him"?"
Under Catherine's coercion and inducement, Cecia quickly cleared the mountain of business, and then set off for the vampire territory regardless of the wailing of her men.
…
"The quality of this batch of blood slaves is not good. They are all dirty and dry. Just looking at them makes me lose my appetite."
"Just bear with it. At least there is a demon here. Demon blood usually doesn't taste bad."
"You mean that little guy? Forget it or..."
While the two vampires were talking, the carriage pulling the blood slaves gradually drove into the blood clan's territory.
Cecia, disguised as a skinny demon, was huddled together with other blood slaves.
Her hands and feet were shackled, she was wearing tattered linen clothes, her face and body were covered in dust, and her hair had changed from prominent blonde to an inconspicuous brown.
Originally, she was planning to sneak into the blood clan. But she encountered a hunting team of the blood clan on the way. She simply pretended to be a poor demon who was alone and took a ride on the blood slave transport.
"We're finally here, hurry up! Everyone, get down here!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, the other party couldn't wait to drive them off the car, chained them one by one, lined them up in a long line, and escorted them to the dungeon.
Not to mention, the pungent smell of blood and the rough chains are quite nostalgic.
On the surface, she lowered her head, looking ready to be bullied, but in fact she was observing secretly, waiting for someone to show up.
"Commander... that's the commander in front, right?"
"It seems so. I heard that the commander will be here to handle things in the next two days!"
The vampires leading the way suddenly became excited. They were no longer in a hurry to move on. Instead, they deliberately slowed down their pace and waited for the other party to pass by them.
