During his time away from home for training, Chi Yan only returned to Xiaguang City once.
I haven't seen this little girl for more than half a year, and she has changed dramatically. Maybe it's because of her training and adequate nutrition, Chi Yan doesn't look young anymore. She is 1.6 meters tall, and her childishness has long faded in the tempering of more than a year, becoming sharp, fierce, and mature.
No one could have imagined that she was just a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
However, at this time, Chi Yan's body was covered in evil black blood. As she walked, she left behind black shoe prints. More black blood continued to flow and drip from her body, and when it fell on the ground, it produced sizzling clouds of smoke.
Chi Yan, who was covered in sticky black blood and had some eyeballs, severed fingers and other broken organs on his body, looked even more terrifying in the eyes of outsiders.
She was making a cat-scratching gesture, just like a scary beast about to catch its prey.
"Welcome home."
Fang You rubbed her hair and after removing the black blood, Chi Yan's hair was not damaged. It was just like it was pulled out of the water, but there was no sign of corrosion at all.
Her eyes are clear and bright.
He grinned, a pair of small fangs shining in the sunlight.
...
...
"Teacher, I'm back with gifts!"
"This is for the teacher, and this is for my younger brothers and sisters."
She said it as if seeking credit.
Then, he took out one item after another from the storage device.
A severed arm with an eye staring out from its palm, blood still flowing from it, very fresh;
A piece of translucent fur, with strands of spatial rhythm diffused on it, and the fur was still wriggling, as if it was not completely dead, and it was very fresh;
The strings of human heads, with their eyes slightly open and their lips trembling, looked very fresh;
Fang You: “…”
"Your brothers and sisters will definitely like these gifts."
Putting aside the appearance, these materials are still quite precious.
However, Chi Yan obviously had some misunderstanding about the material processing method, and was just looking for something new. Never mind, as long as it can be used, it was all Chi Yan's good intentions, and I believe the children in the welfare home will understand.
far away,
Looking at the object that was constantly oozing blood, Captain Hongfeng swallowed.
"This person is... She seems very strong, and gives me a strong sense of oppression!"
He turned his head and looked at Instructor Lao Li from the Sunlight Welfare Home.
But before Instructor Lao Li could open his mouth, a dark figure in the distance suddenly turned his head and looked at him, with a pair of eyes filled with a sea of blood and corpses. Captain Hongfeng felt as if a huge wave of blood was rushing towards him.
He couldn't help but take a half step back, still feeling frightened.
But when he looked up again, the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood were gone like an illusion. In the distance, a dark figure was squatting on the ground, taking out one creepy item after another, but it actually gave people the illusion of being well-behaved.
...What a damn illusion!
Bald Old Li looked in the direction of the voice and rubbed his chin.
It was difficult for him to identify the person just by looking at the dark back, but if he took into account the habits and strength, he could probably guess who it was.
A little surprised, but relieved.
"She can be said to be the eldest sister of the welfare home, and the direct student of our dean, Chi Yan."
Hong Feng: “???”
Are you kidding me, and I have proof!
Your dean Fang has only been in office for two years, and he has never taught any students from the welfare home before. You tell me that in just two years, you can cultivate a legend from scratch?
This joke is not funny at all.
"Well, it's fine if you don't tell me. I can probably guess. Is he a friend of your dean? Or is he a former student of your dean?"
"No wonder your dean was able to transform the Sunlight Welfare Home so completely as soon as he took office. It turns out that your dean has experience in teaching a legend. He has a lot of experience in teaching. It's amazing."
Captain Hongfeng has seen through everything.
In particular, seeing Instructor Lao Li's stunned expression, he became more certain of his guess.
"I'll just say that my guess was correct. It's not hard to guess."
Instructor Lao Li gave a thumbs up.
You are awesome, you are very good at imagining.
What a pity, you are far from realizing how great the dean is.
Unlike him, Old Li, he had long seen through the dean's low-key appearance and realized his great and unfathomable inner self.
Wow, it’s just me.
Coming to Nikko and becoming the dean's disciple was the best decision I had ever made in my life.
"Ah~ Sun~ You are so dazzling~"
He hummed a song and left contentedly, leaving Captain Hongfeng confused.
There are so many weirdos these days.
…
Xiaguang City fell into the death zone, evil continued to breed, and filth spread to the front of the clear sky.
But humans are remarkably adaptable.
The survivors of Xiaguang City quickly adapted to the hard days - they had to adapt because the warriors who had fought their way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood would not pamper them.
Moreover, the location of the Riguang Welfare Home is roughly in the outer ring of Xiaguang City.
Xiaguang City is not like the super oasis in the modern world. The living conditions of the people in the outer city area are still very high, but they are just ordinary civilians after all and are easy to manage.
Fang heard that several other shelters had encountered a lot of bad things.
It exists in every era.
Even a civilization like the Kandra Empire has its share of bad people.
The children of the Sunlight Welfare Home are more adaptable. They have already taken the disasters outside as nothing and regard the evil that attacks the welfare home as part of their daily practice.
They are constantly transforming through fighting and training.
That day, Director Fang came to the medical department of the welfare home.
This department is very suitable for slacking off. Ordinary welfare homes will not have doctors, and treatment, surgery and other tasks are all done by puppets.
And now, this Nikko Medical Center... is still deserted.
The welfare house was renovated and built into a field hospital closer to the front line of defense, taking on the task of rescuing the wounded. It was named as the Medical Department, but in fact it was a remote area of the research base and few people came.
Fang You walked straight in, passed several identity verification checkpoints, and then took the elevator to the research base located hundreds of meters underground.
"drop--"
"Dean's card~"
The alloy door slowly opened, and in the sci-fi silver-white space, there were many human figures.
Although most of them are puppets used to help, there are also many living people here.
Tonglin, a part-time doctor wearing black-framed glasses, came over.
On the surface, she is a doctor, but in fact, she once worked as a principal researcher in the scientific research department of an underground organization, and her research direction was the application of evil and disasters.
The organization she once worked for attempted to use the power of evil and disaster to create man-made myths.
Tonglin disagrees.
She believes that the human body itself is the most perfect treasure, with infinite potential waiting to be developed. A strange person who has been integrated with evil power is nothing more than a defective product.
Later, when the organization's base was destroyed by the officials of the Kandra Empire, Tonglin escaped from the unreliable organization with different philosophies, and came to Xiaguang City, where she applied for a nursing home doctor position where she could take some time off.
But as she touched it, she went back to her old ways.
It's not entirely old karma.
What she is researching now is to crack the secrets of evil and disasters, and she has recruited a group of minor researchers through her previous channels.
"Come, let the dean take a look at our research results."
She clapped her hands confidently.
Following her footsteps, Fang You came to one of the experimental tables and saw a piece of... about several meters long, which looked like a blood vessel magnified countless times, and also like an object of dead wood.
——Filthy marks!
The traces of filth are visible but elusive.
It is like an object existing in a higher dimension. It can interfere with the awakened people passing by, but it cannot be interfered with or destroyed.
However, for Fang You who possesses the 'Spear of Breaking the Way', this is not a problem.
Just a gentle poke can remove a piece of the dirty mark.
Unfortunately, it is easy to destroy a small piece of the filth mark, but if you want to destroy the thousands and thousands of filth marks covering the entire Xiaguang City, it is far from enough to just rely on the Spear of Destruction to pierce them.
"Have you found a way to destroy the Filthy Mark?"
He asked.
Tonglin seemed to be keeping things a secret and said, "I found it, but I didn't find it completely."
She spoke slowly and leisurely, first describing the direction of her research, the setbacks and difficulties encountered throughout the process, how tight the funding and manpower were, etc.
Dean Fang's face was filled with black lines.
“Ahem.”
Researcher Tonglin reluctantly skipped the prelude of playing the victim and entered the professional part. "First of all, according to my organization's previous research, evil spirits have different attributes. Most of these differences are regional, not individual."
"For example, if there are two knockers, A's attribute is 'flesh and blood', and B's attribute is 'darkness', Knocker A will show a habit of chewing flesh and blood, and has a stronger healing ability, while Knocker B's filthy impact is more likely to trigger darkness in people's hearts... However, the difference is very small, and it can only be distinguished through long-term observation with special equipment."
There are many obscure professional terms here.
Dean Fang felt a headache after listening to this. He really wanted Tonglin to stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point, but that would make him seem uncultured.
You can only listen patiently.
"...We detected the attribute of 'darkness' from these Filthy Traces. I guess that the existence and spread of Filthy Traces are related to the 'Dark Shadow' that symbolizes 'darkness', 'negativity', and 'death' among the indescribable evil gods."
"The myth that had an accident before was affected by the Filthy Mark. The negative emotions expanded infinitely, and the soul was eroded, and finally fell."
"This kind of 'darkness' and 'death' is the manifestation of authority and is unpredictable, but we have still created an instrument that can capture these dark factors..."
She threw out a bunch of terminology.
Dean Fang chose those who could understand to listen, and finally concluded:
The network of filth that enveloped Xiaguang City may have multiple "nodes" and "sources". As long as these nodes are pierced, the source of the disaster will be revealed.
As long as the source of the disaster is destroyed, this huge web of filth can be torn apart!
……perhaps.
Fang You: “…”
"But I used the disaster radar before and didn't find any clues to the source of the disaster."
"It's different. To be exact, the source of the disaster doesn't exist yet. Only when the 'node' is destroyed and the remaining filth gathers together, will it form the source of the disaster... probably."
Can you be more reliable!
…
City Lord's Mansion, office area.
The advanced intelligent puppet instructor pushed the door open and walked in.
"My Lord, there is news. There is news from above... Well, although it is not the reinforcements you want most, you don't have to look sour. Just listen to what I have to say first."
"The latest instructions have been sent to the Disaster Strategy Bureau: As long as the source of the disaster in a certain place in the city is destroyed, most of the filth can be removed and the spread of the remaining filth can be greatly curbed."
"In other words, if we find and destroy the source of the disaster, we can save the Xiaguang City which is in imminent danger."
"Although the Disaster Strategy Bureau was unable to provide us with many mythical reinforcements this time, they did provide tools for detecting and finding the source of the disaster...experimental tools."
"Just do this... this... this... and then it'll be done."
“…That’s what it says.”
City Lord Chen Miao held the armrest and remained silent for a while.
"Hold a meeting of all Shinhwa members and prepare for action!"
…
In the name of the city lord, the demigod Chen Miao forcibly requisitioned all the myths in the city and cooperated with the city lord's mansion to launch an operation to eradicate the filth and save the sunset.
Of course, Dean Fang had no intention of leaving from the beginning.
"If Xiaguang City is swallowed by the Filthy Mark, the entire Yunxia Province may not be spared... After all, Xiaguang City is like the food in the Filthy Mark's mouth, which is stuck, so the Filthy Mark has not spread to the surrounding areas. But once Xiaguang City is swallowed and the 'nutrients of the food' are absorbed, the Filthy Mark may spread ten or a hundred times faster."
More likely, there are hidden, more far-reaching impacts.
To be realistic, Dean Fang can't leave either.
He himself 'sits in the Sunlight Welfare Home', and asks Lao Li, Chi Yan and others to assist Hong Feng and other city lords' myths to remove the filth marks.
The City Lord's Mansion recruited myths and high-level awakeners, and naturally promised many benefits. Putting aside the promised benefits, the City Lord's Mansion also provided a lot of instruments and equipment.
Their idea of eradicating the source of the disaster is similar to Tonglin's, but their equipment is much more advanced.
(Tonglin: I am seriously short of funds!)
The operation to remove the filthy nodes went quite smoothly at the beginning.
The evil spirits continued to emerge here, and the myths were a little tired after days of fighting and protecting the weak. But if it was just a short-term fight, the high-end forces of Xiaguang City would be far superior to the evil spirits.
At least, no eight-star disaster-level evil spirits were born in the city.
Under the leadership of the two demigods, the City Lord Chen Miao and the Dean of Filora College, the powerful human beings killed the seven-star evil spirits one after another and shattered the nodes of the filthy marks.
"The filth in some areas has stopped spreading!"
"The direction of the dark power has also changed. This method of handling it is feasible! The Countermeasures Bureau is finally reliable!"
"But I always feel something is not right. Will it really be so easy? I have a bad feeling."
"Don't be so ominous. You must have been affected by the Filthy Mark. Keep your mind focused."
"Wait, look at that..."
As the sixth node was cut through, the source of the disaster began to reveal a little shadow.
It was a huge, transparent object surrounded by a black veil, like a flower slowly opening and closing.
But it was just an illusion.
It can be vaguely seen, but cannot be destroyed, even if the City Lord Chen Miao uses special weapons.
Along with the flower of annihilation, a gray fog suddenly became thicker. The gray fog began to surge violently, and huge monsters emerged from it one after another.
The huge net of filth that covered the sky above Xiaguang City also shrank rapidly.
There were bursts of darkness one after another.
Many myths suddenly became depressed. Even though they knew that it was filth that was causing the trouble, they could not control their emotions and minds.
In their depressed state, they could not even exert even one-tenth of their fighting strength and were immediately knocked to the ground by the evil spirits.
Demigod Chen Miao judged that as the nodes were broken, the speed at which strange evils would be born would become faster and faster, and the pressure would become greater and greater.
Can’t delay, hurry up!
"Commander Riyan, hold back the Guixie here, and the rest of you follow me and continue to break the nodes. There are only three left!"
When the third-to-last node was broken, the eight-star evil appeared!
"This city lord will hold back this eight-star evil spirit, and you continue to break the nodes, quickly!"
When the second to last node was broken, the second Eight-Star Evil appeared.
The number of Seven-Star Evil Spirits was even greater, and they were like giants "crowded" in the small city, releasing countless ordinary evil spirits.
Demons were dancing wildly and the wind was blowing wildly.
The light of the few remaining shining places in the city was being continuously compressed and became precarious.
“Ahhhhhhhh——”
Chi Yan was on all fours, with red animal patterns spreading across his skin.
Her teeth became sharp, her arms became slender and powerful, and she turned into a black and red phantom, using claws, bites, and tears... to fight and kill one evil spirit after another in a frantic manner.
Even though the situation on the battlefield was precarious, this figure made the myths look sideways.
Being too fierce is one of them.
The second is being too fierce!
The myths in the battle could not help but move a little, fearing that they would be affected. They had no doubt that if they stood in front of this fierce man, they would be torn apart like Guixie, just like tearing cloth, with blood all over the sky.
On one side, before the only remaining node.
His face looks a little childish, but his physique is very strong. He is three or four meters tall, like a little giant. His heart beats like a drum, and his body grows stronger piece by piece.
Ten meters! Twenty meters! One hundred meters! Three hundred meters!
He transformed into a giant, wearing rock-like armor with red lines flowing like magma and blue lines like thunder, giving him destructive power.
He swung up the foot of a seven-star evil spirit, pulled it upside down, and actually used the evil spirit as a weapon, sweeping it to the side.
Buildings and towers were shattered and flew everywhere like pieces of paper.
Countless evil spirits were shattered.
But it’s not enough, the power is not strong enough!
The remaining several thousand meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm that he could hardly cross and could not reach the distant nodes.
Nearby, Captain Hongfeng, Instructor Li and others were engaged in a tough battle.
He could only place his hopes on the senior sister.
But the eldest sister seemed to be too excited to kill, and as she kept killing, she chased Guixie farther and farther away, and even if he shouted like thunder, he could not call her back.
“…”
At this time,
A sword light flew in from afar and transformed into thousands of sword lights, annihilating all the darkness it touched.
"Hey, you're not late."
Standing on a giant sword, the slender young man raised his eyebrows and said.
Behind him, there were swords hanging, carrying dozens of young masters from the welfare home back to Xiaguang City.
"Sword raised!"
"Sword falls!"
One sword after another flew out, carrying sword rays as scorching as the sun, as bright as thunder, and as sharp as a torrent, and fell to the earth.
"Second Brother!" the giant shouted, "Next, use this weapon to pierce the node in the distance!"
The young man flying the sword took it, and the sword flashed like a shadow, piercing through the node.
The arrival of this new force greatly reduced the pressure on many myths and high-level awakeners present.
The young Myth of Yu Jian had extraordinary combat power, not inferior to the Rock Armor Giant, and could kill ordinary Seven Star Evils as easily as killing a chicken. The dozen or so people who came with the Myth of Yu Jian were all Myths, and their combat power was extraordinary.
"Are these myths also related to the director of the Sunlight Welfare Home?"
"That dean has incredible connections."
"But these myths are a bit strange. They are not the myths of our province, right? They also look a bit young, as if they are all geniuses..."
There are myths muttering.
Looking at the red maple myth with much less pressure.
In the distance, the reinforcements descended from the sky. Their faces were indeed childish, like teenage boys and girls. And not just one or two, but all of them.
Thinking again about the giant's thunderous shouts of "Big Sister" and "Second Brother" just now, as well as Instructor Lao Li's jokes these days, Captain Hongfeng actually had an outrageous guess in his mind.
He looked at Old Li who was also panting, swallowed and asked:
"I say, Old Li, could it be that these reinforcements are all students from your Sunlight Welfare Institute who are out for training?"
