After saying that, Li Yun stopped talking to Dr. Schmidt outside the containment room and turned back to look at the Crimson Demon.
The handsome crimson devil grinned, revealing an evil smile.
"You seem to really want to cooperate with them!"
"They are just using each other, there is no cooperation at all."
Li Yun looked at the crimson demon and said indifferently in the language he had just learned: "As for you, if I am not mistaken, your soul should be just that of an ordinary human, right?"
"How did you become what you are now?"
Hearing Li Yun's words, the Crimson Demon was slightly startled, and then his eyes became a little complicated, as if he was a little jealous of Li Yun.
"You can actually look directly into my soul?"
"Why?"
“Why?!”
"I am so pious to the Lord of Crimson, why is the grace I receive not even a fraction of what you receive?!!"
As he spoke each word, the crimson demon's face gradually became hideous, his voice became crazy and hysterical, and his eyes looking at Li Yun were full of jealousy, tyranny, inexplicable hatred and murderous intent.
Looking at the crimson demon struggling frantically on the alloy chair, Li Yun frowned and snorted angrily.
"rub!!"
In an instant, the raging flames ignited again, turning the crimson demon's crazy screams into miserable wails.
After a while, Li Yun extinguished the flame of his soul, looked at the crimson demon who was in a state of depression and said calmly: "Grace? What grace? Why don't I feel the grace of the crimson master you mentioned..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yun's expression froze, as if he was in a trance for a moment because of saying this name.
At this moment, a picture flashed through Li Yun's mind. It was an extremely dark void with a deep red crack of unknown length running across it.
In the dark red abyss within the crack, there seemed to be countless sparkling stars.
"... Is this the Crimson Lord, no, the Crimson Abyss?"
Li Yun stood there in a daze, still immersed in the shock and emotion of looking directly at greatness.
At the same time, the Crimson Demon suddenly raised his head and chanted fanatically: "The great Crimson Lord, the Crimson Abyss that spans the void, He is the abyss of all realms, the place where all things end..."
“Buzz——”
Before he finished speaking, a silver light burst out from Li Yun's soul, like a ray of holy light that purifies the world, dispelling all the deep red cracks that had silently penetrated into Li Yun's spiritual world.
In an instant, Li Yun's eyes regained clarity and he took two steps back with a look of fear.
When he came to his senses, his gaze towards the crimson demon became extremely gloomy and unfriendly.
Careless!
His act of torturing the Crimson Demon with the flame of his mind also allowed the Crimson Demon to cross the barrier of mental protection and use that extremely difficult to detect mind-distorting force to reversely affect his heart.
If not for this, he would never have mentioned the name of the 'Crimson Lord' so easily.
After all, in such a weird world, it is only too normal for there to be outer gods similar to the Cthulhu mythology, or the supreme deity similar to that world.
For such a great being, let alone speaking his name, even if you just think of him in your heart, you will be affected by him.
Thinking of this, Li Yun instantly swung the sword of mind, cut off the distracting thoughts in his heart, and sealed the name of the Lord of Crimson.
After doing all this, Li Yun opened his eyes and looked at the crimson demon in front of him with an unfriendly look.
The Crimson Demon showed a disappointed expression on his face and murmured, "Sure enough, you have received far more grace than me..."
As he spoke, the Crimson Demon seemed to recover from his fanatical state, and his expression became calm again.
“There is a great being behind you, right?”
"I can feel that it is the great aura that is deeply engraved in your soul. Through that aura, I can see a boundless sea of gray fog that is like a vast nebula..."
Li Yun's heart sank when he heard the words of the Crimson Demon.
There is no doubt that the breath sensed by the Crimson Demon is the breath of gray fog.
The great existence he mentioned was none other than Lin Zhongtian, the Lord of the Void Gap, his biggest backer.
The Crimson Demon puts the Crimson Lord on the same level as Boss Lin. Doesn’t this prove that there is a terrifying existence in this world who is comparable to Boss Lin?
Thinking of this, Li Yun's mind became active.
Although this information was quite bad, on the other hand, he could also use Lin Zhongtian's name to bully others.
Anyway, no one else knows about his loss of contact with the alliance. Even if he faces those great beings in the future, he might be able to escape with the help of Boss Lin’s face…
Li Yun calmed himself down, then clenched his fists and walked over with an expressionless face.
The Crimson Demon's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"
“Bang!”
Li Yun did not answer, but punched the crimson demon in the face, instantly shattering the solid scales on his face, and blood with a smell of sulfur gushed out of his mouth and nose.
Since mental and spiritual means have the risk of being invaded in reverse, let's use physical means instead.
No matter what, let's beat up this bastard who played dirty tricks first and vent our anger first!
So, under the stunned gaze of Dr. Schmidt and others outside the containment room, Li Yun swung his fist and used extremely exquisite strength to beat up the crimson demon on the alloy chair.
I have to say, this guy's body is pretty tough.
Li Yun increased his strength to a level high enough to smash the mountains before he was able to break through the defense.
Of course, this is the result of breaking the defense with physical attacks alone. If the mind-isolating alloy is used, the Crimson Demon's physical strength will instantly weaken to a level that matches the body's physical structure.
This is because the Crimson Demon's power comes entirely from the power of mind distortion.
His body is not that strong. Without the influence of the mind-distorting power, he is only about three to five times stronger than a human.
This is also why the mind-isolating alloy can bind him here.
This thing is as deadly to him as kryptonite is to Kryptonians.
When the Crimson Demon became dying, Li Yun finally stopped and used nuclear energy to evaporate the blood on his fist.
"Okay, now we can have a good chat."
Li Yun took out a chair from the storage space, sat opposite the crimson demon, stared at his swollen and deformed handsome face, and said calmly: "In the files of the group of people outside, your past and abilities are recorded. It is said that as long as they sacrifice a human soul to you and then ask you a question, they can get the answer to the question from you?"
“…”
The crimson demon widened his eyes and stared at Li Yun angrily without answering.
Li Yun sighed, stood up from the chair, and clenched his fists again.
The Crimson Demon's face changed, and he quickly said, "Wait, you and I are both followers of great beings, and we should be on the same side. Why do you have to do things for these insignificant humans?"
"We all have powers bestowed by great beings, as well as a way of communication that cannot be known by humans. As long as we join forces, we can easily escape from this damn place!"
"...Oh?" Li Yun sat down again and asked with interest, "How do you plan to escape?"
The Crimson Demon calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "What they recorded about my abilities is indeed correct. However, the knowledge about the answers to the questions did not come from me, but from the great Crimson Lord. I can only obtain the gift of knowledge after meeting certain conditions."
"They've asked me a lot of questions over the past few years, but I don't have to tell them all the answers. I just have to embellish them and tell them the necessary parts."
"So, my understanding of the abnormal objects in this base is actually much better than that of the humans outside."
"Even the [Unbreakable Chain] that trapped you is the same."
"As long as you agree to join forces with me, I can tell you its hidden properties..."
Li Yun said calmly: "You also said that you didn't tell all the information to those humans outside, so how can I be sure that you will tell me all the information?"
The Crimson Demon said without hesitation: "You and I can swear before the Crimson Lord."
Li Yun's face changed slightly, and he swung his sword in his mind to cut off all distracting thoughts. He said unkindly: "If you dare to mention that person's name again, I will kill you immediately!"
The Crimson Demon curled his lips and said nothing.
Li Yun thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you tell me some information first, for example, how much do you know about me?"
"To you?"
The Crimson Demon glanced at him, shook his head and said, "You have the grace and protection of that person. I cannot answer your questions. All the answers have been automatically transferred by the great deep... cough, the great Lord to a human named Li An."
"So, don't worry. What I told them was just the information about Li An!"
I see……
Li Yun suddenly realized and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the locking skill [Boss Lin's Protection] is still there, so I don't have to worry about being seen through for no reason.
After a little thought, Li Yun asked again: "What about the group of people outside?"
The Crimson Demon laughed and said, "You mean, the ninth category affairs company?"
"Very good, it seems that you also want to leave this damn place. Then I will tell you that the predecessor of the Ninth Category Affairs Company was a containment organization called the Church of the Balance. They are committed to containing all anomalies and restoring balance to the world..."
As the Crimson Demon slowly narrated the story, Li Yun finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the organization that had taken him in.
Just as he expected, this ninth category affairs company was indeed similar to that organization, but unlike that organization, they had obviously fewer rules and their attitude towards abnormal objects was more ambiguous.
It is said that where poisonous snakes live, there must be an antidote within seven steps.
The Order of the Balance believes in this concept, believing that even strange and crazy anomalies have their own natural enemies.
Therefore, they are keen on using anomalies to deal with anomalies, and they use abnormal items frequently.
If not, the 'Pandora Project' in cooperation with Li Yun would not have been implemented so quickly...
Hearing this, Li Yun shook his head secretly.
This group of people's attitude towards abnormal objects was obviously too dangerous and did not completely conform to the containment concept he remembered.
Such an attitude may be stable for a while, but in the long run, it can easily lead to irreversible consequences.
However, this is nothing surprising.
In such a crazy world, the people who protect it must be a group of crazy people.
Without a sufficiently crazy idea, how can one fight against this crazy worldview?
Thinking of this, Li Yun glanced at the camera in the corner of the holding room and let out a faint sigh in his heart.
If he had chosen a different way to descend, he would definitely choose to help this group of weak yet powerful humans.
But now, let's find a way to get in touch with the alliance first...
