Chapter 310 Chapter 310

Follow the market.

After school in the afternoon, Yan Jun went home with his friend, carrying his schoolbag on one shoulder. When they reached the intersection, his friend patted Yan Jun on the shoulder and pointed at the door of a store and said, "Is that your brother?"

Yan Jun immediately turned around and saw a familiar figure carrying a black backpack. He shouted loudly.

Qingtong turned around and waved his hands.

"Go ahead, brother-con." said the friend half-jokingly.

"Get lost." The young man cursed with a smile, "Fight me in a real fight tomorrow."

"Who's afraid of who? I'm waiting for you."

After saying goodbye to his friends, Yan Jun quickly ran to Qing Tong and said, "Brother, why didn't you call me before you came back? Mom is on duty tonight and won't be back."

"Hmm? Really?"

"Dad is busy too, so I'm alone tonight." Yan Jun looked at the sign of the roast duck restaurant, "Brother, do you want to eat roast duck?"

"No, I just passed by here and stopped to rest for a while." Qingtong said, "Come on, I'll take you home."

"Take me home? Brother, aren't you staying here tonight?"

"No, I have something else to do later."

"Are we going to take a look over there?" Yan Jun asked. The place he was talking about was Qingtong's biological father's place.

Qingtong hummed vaguely, but in fact he had already been there.

His father kept nagging him as usual, saying that he had chosen a dangerous job and should quit when he could make enough money, and that he should get married, have two children, and live a good life with a stable job. His stepmother handed him some fruit, but he took it but didn't eat it. His sister Qingxia secretly asked him about his major in the Department of Weird Response in college, which she had never been interested in before.

He told Qingxia that working in the weird department was very hard and difficult, and asked her to think about it carefully.

But having strength is not a bad thing. The basic secret book that was distributed back then can now be learned even by people who are not professionals in the field of dealing with strange things. This is a basic self-protection ability for people in the face of strange things.

As for Yanjun, he couldn't persuade him. Although this kid usually admired his brother and looked like he would listen to everything he said, once he made up his mind, it was useless even if Qingtong persuaded him. His stubborn temper was exactly like his mother's, and also like his brother. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it.

The only thing he did was to give Yanjun something to protect itself.

"I will be carrying out a very dangerous mission later." As they were about to reach the bottom of the building, Qingtong suddenly spoke up, "I don't know how it will end, so I plan to leave something for you before I go."

Yan Jun paused in his excitement. He turned to look at Qing Tong and curled his lips: "Brother, what you said is too unlucky."

"Face the reality." Qingtong took off his backpack and threw it into Yanjun's hand. "This is for you."

Yan Jun hurriedly took the bag, turned around and saw Qingtong was about to leave, and quickly grabbed him: "Brother, wait a minute!"

The boy searched in his schoolbag for a long time, took out a triangular amulet, and stuffed it into Qingtong's palm: "Amulet, I asked for it a long time ago, and I wanted to give it to you, but I couldn't find you, and you never replied to my messages."

Qingtong held the talisman in his hand. It did not have any mysterious aura. It was just a piece of ordinary yellow paper with words written on it.

"Yeah." He put away the amulet and left.

"Brother, let's go eat barbecue next time you come back!" Yan Jun said loudly, "It's my treat!"

Qingtong did not respond.

Because that day will never come.

Du Yi and his colleagues had already left yesterday. It was not a short vacation, but they were directly sent back.

Si Zai was shocked when he suddenly received the news that people were sent back. He even called Bai Yixin to inquire about the situation and whether Du Yi and others had done something wrong. Then he learned that Jiuxia Mountain, with the temple as its center, was about to be closed. At least in the next few hundred years, it would be a restricted area.

This is the center point of all space-time anchors, the foundation that links the nodes of the world tree. Even if Mangtao does not specifically seal this area, the space anchor will automatically isolate everything. No one can get close to here except Qingtong himself who controls the space anchor.

Bai Yixin did not explain more. He just warned Si Zai that anyone who approached here would have to bear the consequences.

It's still good enough if you just can't get close to it. If you are unfortunately caught in a chaotic space interlayer, death is a luxury, because time is meaningless in the space interlayer, there is no aging, and you can't commit suicide. People will be trapped in a blank world until they go crazy.

Si Zai could tell that Bai Yixin was not joking this time. Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining in detail, he had to hang up the phone and then called a meeting of the senior personnel of the weird response department.

The influence of the Denghuo organization has penetrated into the political leaders of many major countries. Any move of the Denghuo members will affect the international situation, especially the recent news about the alien world has caused a heated debate on the Internet. Si Zai guessed that the Denghuo's movements are mostly related to the alien world.

In just a few years since he took office as Minister-General, he has lost a lot of hair and looks ten years older.

At this time in Jiuxia Mountain, half of the members of the Denghuo team have arrived. Except for 'Qingtong', the others who have not arrived are all busy with missions and will have to wait a while before arriving.

Recently, there have been more and more high-level monsters, and there have been several S-level ones. Fortunately, they were all eliminated in time, and no major incidents have occurred so far.

"It's been a long time since we last met, everyone is here." The paper man sat on the pine tree, looking down at the members in the yard, "Little leader, are you not going to continue with the last experiment? I'm ready."

After saying that, he jumped down from the tree, as light as paper, and placed his pale hands on the ponytailed boy's shoulders, and put his cheek close to his face: "Hmm?"

Mang Tao looked down at her phone and ignored him.

The paper man's smiling palm frivolously passed over the boy's long ponytail, and the soft hair passed through the palm of his hand. When he was about to put the hair to his lips, a knife with a flash of cold light cut from behind Mang Tao. Fortunately, the paper man noticed it in time and dodged, otherwise the cold white face would have been cut.

"Qin Xiaocao." The paper figurine read out the name of the boy who attacked him, "How fierce~"

"Tsk." Qin Xiaocao, who failed to succeed, lowered her brows impatiently.

The paper man smiled and hooked his finger at Qin Xiaocao. Veins on Qin Xiaocao's forehead popped up, and the two ran to the side to fight.

"It's so noisy." The curse priest poured himself a cup of tea. After Du Yi and his servants left, he had to do the work of serving tea and water by himself.

A crow fell from the sky, stepped on a pine tree, and turned into a human form.

Utor looked around and was relieved to find that he was not the last one to arrive.

He was ridiculed for being late last time, so this time he was definitely not late. When he was feeling happy, the little girl, Faceless Child, fell from the sky and stepped on Utor's back. The little girl, who used him as a stepping stone, flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

Utor, with a small black footprint on his back: ...Shit.

'Qingtong' was the last to arrive. When he arrived, Utor was quarreling with the Faceless Boy, and the paper figurines were playing tricks on Qin Xiaocao. It was very lively.

"Back?" Mang Tao looked at him, "How are they?"

"My father was nagging as usual, and my mother was on duty. I went to her office to meet her, and she blamed me for intruding on her duty station." Qingtong sat down and said, "Qingxia is still not talkative as usual. She is a little interested in the weird response department, but with her personality, even if she enters this department, she will soon be transferred to the general department. She can't do the work on the battlefield. Yanjun... I exchanged all the merits I earned in the department for weird things and medicines and left them to him. He will definitely go to the battlefield in the future. More things means more chances of survival."

He could bring out better things, but there was no need. Those were enough for the current Yan County. If they were too good, they would be discovered and coveted easily. Anyway, once all the anchor points were set up, high-level monsters would not appear in this world in the future, but would be directly transmitted to another world.

"Aren't you going to meet them?" Qingtong said.

Mang Tao: "I will have many opportunities to visit them in the future."

"That's right." Qingtong stretched and looked at Bai Yixin, "Let's start. I'm ready."

"It might be a little painful, just bear with it." Bai Yixin said.

Qingtong sat cross-legged under the pine tree and closed his eyes: "It's okay, it won't hurt soon."

The final step of the plan is to use 'Qingtong' as the central anchor point and permanently fix it on the node of the World Tree.

From the body to the soul, everything is refined. This process is undoubtedly very painful. The predecessors have already explored the way to operate it, but this is the first time to truly experiment. No one is sure whether other changes will occur during the process.

Mangtao, Zhiren and others are here, firstly to witness all of this, and secondly, in case of any accidents, they will have to make up for it. The worst result is to use Mangtao, the entity with the largest soul, as a supplementary anchor and integrate it into the world node.

A pale yellow light emanated from Qingtong's body, and the young man's hair turned into countless light spots, and the scattered light flew into the sky.

The pain on Qingtong's face disappeared, and he was no longer in pain, but at the same time he also lost his five senses, and could neither see nor hear.

Until the end, the thoughts slowly dissipated, and the person and soul fragments of "Qingtong" were completely eliminated.

No, it should be said that he turned into the most basic energy existence in this world and merged into the World Tree.

At the moment Qingtong disappeared, Mangtao sensed everything. His soul was connected to the World Tree. With his eyes closed, he could "see" all the worlds.

There is this world that is fighting against the monsters, there is another world that has been invaded by the monsters and is beginning to die and wither, and there are other small worlds that have not been invaded by the monsters and are still living in peace and tranquility.

Looking at the entire world tree, half of the world branches are about to wither. Those are the dead branches that he needs to carefully clean and prune.

While controlling everything in the world, some things disappeared from Mangtao's heart with the departure of Qingtong.

That was the softest part of his heart.

Qingtong is dead, and the person standing here is no longer a human being.
