Chapter 282

In the 24-hour observation room, Yu Tu and the three special teams looked at each other in bewilderment.

The leader of the Special Team 3 is named Tao Qingying. When the comic exhibition incident happened, the team was in Zixi City. With the cooperation of the local garrison team, the team cleaned up the fight between Gu Hongying and his team, and led the exhausted team to the hospital under the name of the Zixi City Special Affairs Bureau for observation after treatment.

This time, when Gu Hongying called them in a panic, the three groups were ready to explain to the five of them why they were "blocked", but they never expected that there was actually a "slippery fish" among the five of them.

"So..." Yu Tu sat on the sofa with a wooden face, "Is it strange that I can read comics?"

Tao Qingying nodded: "Based on the currently known data, the more she appears in the comics, the more she will be blocked."

Although they found out about the existence of the comics through loopholes, they had to read them several times before they could understand the content, and the level of clarity of the content also had to be controlled, otherwise they would be forced to forget it if they were not careful.

As the barrier gets closer and closer to the final deadline, the restrictions of comics on the inner world seem to be weakening. As long as the members of the inner world have not officially appeared in the comics, most of the content can be remembered. As for those who appear frequently, they will forget most of them after reading them.

Tao Qingying thought of Group 7 and Group 9, which appeared most frequently in the comics. Her mind was filled with Meng Ziqiu holding a tablet with a frown on his face, Tu Jiaojiao with orange hair jumping around madly in the office of Group 9, and Group 4 that saved the protagonists in the Spider's Nest. Zheng Chanyi was calm, but the others in their group kept complaining about why they couldn't remember it - it was a big scene of people refusing to admit defeat.

The first ten special teams have all appeared in the comics to varying degrees, but only these three teams "survived" because they were on long-term missions lasting years, so the task of popularizing science for the comic's protagonists fell on them.

"I think the reason why you were not blocked, Yu Tu, may be related to your talent." Tao Qingying thought about it and came to a conclusion temporarily, "The talent of [seeing through everything] is rare. Maybe the talent and the restriction of the barrier offset each other?"

Yu Tu is the only member of the plant tribe who grew up in the surface world since recorded history. He first became a "human" and then a "tree". Not only does he have a close connection with the Marquis of Buye ten thousand years ago, he also happened to enter the Kunlun Forbidden Land at a critical time and brought out the news. He himself is special enough, so it doesn't seem strange that he has this one more.

Whatever the reason, it was a great thing that there was someone in the main character group who knew about comics. After all... Tao Qingying turned her gaze to the four faces holding the information with deep hatred. The others had mostly forgotten what they had read, and the content was completely beyond their comprehension.

"It will take another two months for the barrier to be completely broken." Seeing their unyielding spirit, Tao Qingying seemed to see her resentful colleagues. "Restrictions should be fully lifted in two months, so there's no need to rush."

Those people in the Alien Bureau who had rarely appeared in the comics had all stayed up late to finish reading the comics. Although those who had appeared in the comics couldn't remember much, they would not miss any important information through the roundabout methods they had used before, and it would not affect the overall layout.

"That's what I said, but I'm really interested in comics with me as the protagonist!" Gu Hongying asked curiously, "Does the comic depict me being heroic and saving the world with Tu Tu and the others?"

Tao Qingying: “…”

Tao Qingying thought of the comics she had finished all night, Gu Hongying's nickname, and their team's nickname, the Non-Chieftain Group. She looked strange for a moment: "Roughly speaking... that's right."

Although the details are slightly distorted, the goal is the same.

Gu Hongying looked expectant: "I knew comics would be drawn like this! Many people at the comic convention wanted to take a photo with me!"

He must be a particularly popular handsome protagonist!

Gu Hongying's brain selectively forgot the "cell phone" that was tracking his mental activities and taking a photo with him before the comic convention accident happened - before things are completely exposed, the thing people are best at is self-deception.

He showed a happy smile on his face, and proudly asked Yu Tu, the only one among the five who could see the comics, "Tu Tu, am I particularly handsome in the comics? Am I particularly cool when I appear in them?"

Yu Tu: “…”

How should I put it? He is quite handsome and quite cool, but, well... he is usually not handsome for more than three minutes.

But facing Gu Hongying's expectant, sparkling eyes, Yu Tu nodded reluctantly: "Yes."

While answering, Yu Tu felt Tao Qingying looking at him. He turned his head away, and the moment their eyes met, they both saw guilt in each other's eyes.

Before the cruel reality comes in two months, let the protagonist have a sweet dream.

…

After 24 hours, no new toxins appeared in their bodies and the observation was successfully completed.

The classes at Chang'an Academy were already tightly scheduled, and they took on the missions when they had some free time. Originally, after completing the A-level mission [The Mystery of the Bridge], they would have been able to catch up with the new classes the next day. However, no one expected that just by catching the humanoid points issued by a senior, they would accidentally encounter a strange tentacle monster. The end of the battle and the 24-hour observation period successfully made them miss two days of classes.

As they hurried back, none of the five mentioned the strange comic book, because the problem before them was urgent—two days of classes at Chang'an Academy was equivalent to a week at Kunlun and three to four days at Millerkel.

Making up two days of classes is not scary. What is scary is to make up for the two days of classes without falling behind in new lessons and without affecting their ability to take on tasks in Wen Dao Hall.

In an environment where everyone is eating fish, no salted fish can lie flat.

Yu Tu and his five companions worked tirelessly for a whole week before they were able to even out the pace and finally breathe a sigh of relief.

That night, after making sure that all progress had been made, Yu Tu gave himself a two-hour break—his brain had been running at high speed for a week, and he really needed to stop and rest.

Yu Tu first took out his mobile phone and opened the news. No matter which APP it was, it was flooded with hot searches related to "Shan Hai Zhi Yu". The situation was unprecedented and exaggerated. However, the authorities, contrary to their usual practice, did not ban it. Not only did they let it go, but they also seemed to be fanning the flames.

The first problem faced after the barrier is broken is the backflow of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of the inner world enters the outer world in an unstoppable manner, which will inevitably trigger a series of natural disasters. The large number of abnormal natural disasters that occur at the same time cannot be concealed from the people in the outer world, so each province and city will build a large shelter.

Human power is so insignificant in the face of natural disasters, not to mention that there are only two months left. Yu Tu thought of the large amount of information that Buyehou had seen in the past few days and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Not to mention the massive amount of contingency plans that the surface world had made to guard against situations where the barrier was broken, the situation in the inner world was also very tricky.

For example, the strange tentacle that attacked the comic exhibition that day was not something special or strange, but a giant octopus, the largest species of octopus known in the world. Ximen Zhou has been modifying this octopus for decades, successfully grafting the characteristics of other deep-sea creatures onto the octopus's tentacles, artificially transforming it into a "monster".

The circus experiment of transferring human souls into animals that Yu Tu discovered was just one of his experiments in recent years. Just like the deer that was full of resentment after death, it was only a part of the experimental data. Its fur was sold to people in need because Ximen Zhou needed the verification process.

After Yu Tu got the information from the Alien Bureau, he realized that what he had encountered before was just the tip of the iceberg of those cruel experiments. Ximen Zhou and his team not only collected ordinary creatures, but also collected alien beasts with thin bloodlines and weak resistance. The bloodlines of many alien beasts had been completely cut off. In the list of known creatures provided by the Alien Bureau, Yu Tu even saw the green fly that died thirty years ago.

The Taoist who claimed to have the blood of the green fly was also Ximen Zhou's former subordinate. As early as when the construction of the Moon-Gathering Square began, the Starry Pavilion had already been built according to the requirements of the sacrificial array. The sound of beads falling that Yan Momo heard in the chaos was the Taoist secretly using the "Throwing Beans to Turn into Soldiers" in the crowd.

If Yan Momo's belief at that time had not been too strong for Yu Tu to sense, those "beans" that were sprinkled out would have turned into killing and bloodletting machines when they took shape, and everyone in the Starry Sky Pavilion would have become feed for the sacrificial formation and would not have been able to survive.

Yu Tu destroyed the formation, but when he restored it in the teahouse afterwards, he found that the formation was extremely familiar—

This is not the first time I've seen this.

Once a black cat named Mimi came to him for help. He brought back the child Tang He to the black cat's owner Liao Huanyan. The formation in the underground cave where Tang He was located was an upgraded version of the formation he destroyed.

There seemed to be an invisible thread connecting all the details. Yu Tu seemed to have the answer, but also seemed to be missing something. When his mind was full of chaotic thoughts, his hands moved unconsciously and a piece of news caught his eye—

#Enthusiastic citizen Wei Ziming bravely broke into the Wa Ming Temple to rescue trapped tourists and was awarded a banner#

Yu Tu: “……?”

The familiar name brought back memories. Yu Tu clicked on it and found that the comment section under the news had collapsed. There was endless “hahahahahahaha” everywhere he looked.

Yu Tu remembered that Wei Ziming had said that he wanted to go to the temple to pray, and his eyes shifted for a moment. A fully yang body... theoretically, this shouldn't be the case? Could it be that the authorities needed a witness that everyone was familiar with, so they found Wei Ziming?

Yu Tu looked at the picture in the news, Wei Ziming's standard grin of despair, and suddenly realized something - it might have nothing to do with the official, and it was purely a personal reason.

While reading the comments, Yu Tu's phone suddenly rang with a special notification sound. It was a reminder of the update of "Speaking of Mountains and Seas". He immediately quit the APP he was using and clicked on the comic website X. At the bottom of the directory, there was a new chapter called "Heart-beating Surprise" with a red NEW after it.

Yu Tu clicked on it. This chapter did not continue from the end of the previous chapter, but started directly from the chase between them and the Taoist priest. What happened before was quickly passed by the flashback shot. The first large horizontal page was a panoramic view of the comic exhibition in Zhuoyue Square.
