Relic explorer Li looked at the gray-robed old man's face, whose wrinkles were enough to kill a mosquito, and felt extremely reluctant.
This feeling is like drawing cards in a mobile game. Even though you know there is a bottomless pit ahead, you still have to bite the bullet and keep spending for that limited SSR.
"Okay, old man, I promise you." There was a sense of heroic courage in the voice of Li, the ruins explorer, as if he was a hero about to go to the guillotine.
"But first, you have to tell me what this 'it' is. You can't let me look for a needle in a haystack, right?"
Upon hearing this, the old man curled up his lips into an unfathomable smile, a smile that made the ruins explorer Li feel creepy, and he felt like Little Red Riding Hood being stared at by Grandma Wolf.
"Young man, don't worry, you will know soon... Now, close your eyes and empty your mind."
Although ruins explorer Li had some doubts in his heart, at this point, he had no choice but to go ahead with it.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to empty his mind as the old man had said.
The moment he closed his eyes, a powerful force instantly enveloped him.
Then, he felt like he was on a high-speed roller coaster, hurtling madly through the darkness, the wind whistling in his ears, and his internal organs were almost displaced.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back at the familiar entrance to the ruins.
The ruins, which had been eerie and terrifying, now seemed unusually peaceful, as if the previous crisis was just an illusion.
The figure of the gray-robed old man had long disappeared, and in his place was an ancient jade slip lying quietly on the ground.
Relic explorer Li quickly picked up the jade slip, as if he had found a treasure.
This is the information he exchanged for his freedom!
He did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately rushed back to the alliance without stopping.
Along the way, he felt like a runner who had just finished a marathon, his whole body ached and he just wanted to find a place to lie down.
But thinking of his anxiously waiting companions in the alliance, he gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.
At the same time, in the alliance control center, Mou Xuan was spinning like a top.
On the screen, the signal representing Li's ruins exploration team was intermittent, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
"How is it? Have you got in touch?" There was a hint of anxiety in Mou Xuan's voice. He couldn't remember how many times he had asked this question today.
"Not yet, boss. The signal is unstable and we can only receive some noise intermittently." The communicator replied helplessly.
Mou Xuan scratched his hair in annoyance and cursed in his heart: This Old Li, he failed at the critical moment!
If anything happens to him, how am I going to explain it to his family?
Just as he was getting upset, the signal on the screen suddenly stabilized.
Then, the voice of Li Ruins Explorer came from the communicator: "Boss! I'm back! I brought back important information!"
Upon hearing this, Mou Xuan was overjoyed. He grabbed the communicator and shouted excitedly, "Old Li! You are finally back! Tell me, what happened?"
Ruins explorer Li did not take time to rest. He told Mou Xuan everything about his experiences in the ruins and the information provided by the gray-robed old man.
After listening to this, Mou Xuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
Although the information provided by the gray-robed old man was not much, it was extremely crucial, like a key that unlocked many doubts in his heart.
"Contact Soul Expert Zhou immediately!" Mu Xuan made a prompt decision and shouted into the communicator, "Tell him to come to the control center immediately. I have something important to discuss with him!"
A few minutes later, Soul Expert Zhou rushed to the control center.
He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked with a puzzled look: "Boss, what's the hurry?"
Mou Xuan didn't waste any words and directly told Zhou the soul expert in detail the information brought back by Li, the ruins explorer, as well as his previous speculations.
After hearing this, Soul Expert Zhou's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and excitement.
"Boss, do you mean that we can try to resolve the soul-swapping phenomenon?"
"That's right!" Mou Xuan nodded, "I have found a way to cancel the soul exchange. Now it's up to you!"
Soul expert Zhou took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and then began to carefully study the information provided by Mou Xuan.
He combined the intelligence with his previous research, constantly deducing and verifying.
Time passed minute by minute, and the control center became eerily quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the sound of Soul Expert Zhou flipping through documents and typing on the keyboard.
Mou Xuan stood quietly aside, waiting patiently.
He knew that this research was related to the fate of the entire alliance and could not afford any mistakes.
Finally, after several hours of intense research, Soul Expert Zhou suddenly raised his head and shouted excitedly: "Boss! I succeeded! I found a way to cancel the soul exchange!"
Upon hearing this, Mou Xuan felt relieved and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
"Alright! Organize personnel immediately to remove all the people whose souls have been swapped!"
Under Mou Xuan's command, the alliance members acted quickly.
They gathered together the people whose souls had been exchanged, and carefully carried out the removal operation according to the method provided by soul expert Zhou.
The process of release is extremely complicated and dangerous. If you are not careful, it will cause irreparable harm to the person whose soul is exchanged.
But in order to save their companions, the alliance members tried their best and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
