Chapter 541: Settlement (Thanks to 'Ye Jingtian' for the reward)
As the eye skeleton reconnected to the spiritual world, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief as familiar messages appeared before his eyes.
He had long been accustomed to using his eyes, and now he was really not used to the state of being in the dark, unable to contact others, and unable to check information anytime and anywhere.
As the spiritual world recovered, order returned to the university town. The first thing Zhang Yu saw was bursts of divine light sweeping across the sky.
The righteous gods appeared crazily in every level of the university town in numbers and efficiency that Zhang Yu had never seen before.
From time to time, one could see a figure having its body broken down and its soul extracted under the infusion of divine power.
Zhang Yu's heart tightened as he watched this scene: "Has the reckoning begun?"
Zhang Yu understood that the school's top management and the righteous gods would inevitably conduct a reckoning with the various destruction, losses, and criminal acts that occurred in the university town during the collapse of the spiritual world.
For example, after various cameras are reconnected to the spiritual world, the videos stored in them will definitely be reviewed one by one by the righteous gods.
There are still countless people who have been bewitched by the evil cult. This will definitely be a key inspection item for Wanfa University.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There must be many people who secretly used their eye sacs to record the incident, and they should have started reporting it on a large scale by now."
As for other things like the maintenance of the university town, insurance compensation for various material losses, and lawsuits and disputes caused by various conflicts during the collapse of the spiritual world... Zhang Yu just thought about it and knew how busy Wanfa University would be in the future.
At this moment, Zhang Yu's eyes popped up with documents one after another. He received the following from the righteous gods: "Learn Anti-Demon Cult Knowledge!", "Why Do We Oppose the Demon Cult?", "In-depth Analysis of the Evil Nature of the Yuhua Cult", "Righteousness Lasts Forever, Evil Cannot Last Forever: A Review of the Unemployment Cult, a Social Cancer", and "On the Harm of Unemployment".
Looking at these documents, Zhang Yu felt a surge of anxiety in his heart: "It's so urgent."
At the same time, a divine light fell from the air, and then it swept across like a wall of light, sweeping across each person's body like a scan.
As the divine light swept through passersby one by one, some showed no signs of abnormality, while others triggered alarms and were suppressed to the ground by giant golden hands.
Zhang Yu became slightly nervous watching this scene, but he knew that it was impossible to run away, so he could only calmly face the scan of the divine light.
As the divine light swept across Zhang Yu's body, an option emerged in his eyes, asking him whether he was willing to accept the inspection of the righteous god.
Of course Zhang Yu readily agreed to this. His injuries had already been treated, and there was nothing shameful stored in his eye sockets. The information sent by the Demon Cult had been deleted long ago.
The same was true for Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan and other companions on the other side. They had already made preparations when they were cleaning up the scene. Even Xiao Qingxuan spit out the external elixir again and returned to the foundation-building stage.
So after a while, as the examination was over, the divine light dissipated from Zhang Yu's body.
"Huh..." Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "The most basic inspection is over. There may be some further inquiries, but we're probably not key targets, so we won't be strictly interrogated. It's probably just a formality."
As the spiritual world recovered, a large amount of information began to pop up in Zhang Yu's eyes.
Many of them were messages sent after the spirit world was hijacked, and they were sent over with a delay.
Mo Enjin: Are you in the dormitory?
Zhang Pianpian: The spirit world has resumed contact with me
Zhao Tianxing: Why are you all offline?
Ying Xin's grandfather: Can you see? Is there something wrong with the spiritual world of Wanfa?
A lot of information comes from the soul cultivators within the company. After all, after Wanfa University lost its connection to the spiritual world, for these soul cultivators, all the people from Wanfa University went offline, and the spiritual world and countless messages of Wanfa University also disappeared at the same time. It was as if a large piece of the world was suddenly missing.
For Zhao Tianxing, Che Yufei, Hu Yuntao and others who are still in the midst of the economic crisis, there is nothing more terrifying than opening their eyes and seeing the company boss's portrait turn gray.
This made them worry whether something had happened to Zhang Yu and whether the company was going to go bankrupt.
After the spiritual world recovered, with Zhang Yu back online, naturally many more people sent messages.
Magnetic Pole Master: Come to the lab to find me. We can talk about it in person if you have anything to say.
Director Gao: Go find your master right away.
Zhao Tianxing: Mr. Zhang, are you okay?
Ye Xingli (Poor Man Simulator): Junior brother, are you okay?
Looking at the messages that kept popping up, Zhang Yu replied to a few important ones and then came to the laboratory.
As soon as Zhang Yu arrived at the office of Master Ci Ji, he felt his vision darken. Then the figure of the unemployed old man suddenly appeared and said with a smile, "Ci Ji, is this your new disciple?"
Zhang Yu was shocked when he saw this scene. Then he heard the True Lord of Magnetic Pole beside him say calmly, "Zhang Yu, I specially invited this person to welcome you into the sect."
Zhang Yu looked shocked and said, "Master, how can this be possible? The Demon Sect cannot join!"
After repeated urging, seeing Zhang Yu's frightened and fearful expression, and his reluctance to join the sect, True Lord Magnetic Pole took away the projection of the jobless old man and said calmly, "You're quite clever."
Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a look of fear, "Master, was that a test just now? You almost scared me to death."
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Fortunately... Judging from the previous communication with the evil gods, Master should not have joined the Demon Cult."
Because of this confirmation, Zhang Yu, apart from his initial surprise, quickly realized that Lord Ci Ji was testing him.
True Lord Ciji looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Two major demonic sects have wreaked havoc in the university town this time. We don't know how many people have been bewitched by them. The higher-ups have decided to conduct an investigation, and someone will come to question you later."
"If you have any problems, tell me now and I will help you solve it."
"I don't want to hear about your problems from other people."
Feeling the sharp gaze of Master Ciji, Zhang Yu immediately said firmly, "Master, don't worry, I have never joined the Demonic Cult."
"After the spiritual world is disconnected, I will go to the office area with Mo Enjin and the others."
"Later, we encountered a Jindan-level battle and were separated. After that, I hid with my classmates until the spiritual world recovered..."
Seeing Zhang Yu speak out the speech he had prepared long ago, Ci Ji smiled slightly, rubbed Zhang Yu's head and said, "I'm glad you're okay."
"Zhang Yu, it's not that I don't trust you, but the Demon Cult is full of tricks and is very good at deceiving people. I am afraid that if you don't check it out, you will fall into their trap."
"Remember, I'm your master. You can tell me anything at any time, and I will definitely help you. But if you delay until the righteous gods find out about the problem, then I won't be able to help you even if I want to."
Zhang Yu listened to the words of Master Ci Ji with a moved look on his face, nodding from time to time to show that he understood.
But he knew in his heart that he could only believe half of what Lord Ci Ji said.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Ordinary things are fine. Master will really take it on for me. But what's happening to me right now... If I really tell everyone about the evil spirit, I can't say for sure what Master will do to me."
At the same time, True Lord Ciji recalled the various actions of the Demon Cult this time in his mind: "These demon cultists were trying to find out about the laboratory, and then they attacked me and Tianzhang, and finally they besieged the research center."
"Nine out of ten times, the Demon Cult is interested in the experiments on the Divine Corpse."
It is precisely because of this that Lord Magnetism would consider whether Zhang Yu, as an experimental subject... had encountered the Demonic Cult?
In addition to Zhang Yu, Master Ci Ji will also have to talk to other subordinates one by one to confirm whether there are any problems with them, so as to avoid them being exposed in the future and affecting her path to becoming a god.
At this moment, Zhang Yu saw that the Magnetic Master frowned, as if he saw some news in his eyes, and an unhappy look appeared on his face.
Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Master? What happened?"
True Lord Magnetic Pole sneered and said, "Do you still remember Feng Yuhan from the research department?"
Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Magnetism Master continued, "The research department was besieged by demon cultists. This guy fought alone against the demons and protected a large amount of school assets. He performed a great deed."
Zhang Yu's heart was moved when he heard this: "Fighting the demons alone? It seems that the evil god really believed the information provided by Fu Ji and sent people to deal with Feng Yuhan?"
"But is Feng Yuhan really fighting the demons alone? Or has he been secretly controlled by the demon cult and is only putting on such a show?"
"Next time you go to the Dark Spirit Realm, you can find out what's going on."
Shortly after Zhang Yu left, Director Gao sent a message to the Lord of Magnetic Pole.
Director Gao: Are you okay?
Magnet Master: It seems that there is no problem at the moment, let's continue to observe.
Director Gao: Alas, after the two major evil sects caused trouble this time, everyone in the university town is in danger. I don’t know how many people have been controlled by the evil sects.
Magnet Master: I'm afraid that even before this incident, there were already Nascent Soul-level figures cooperating with the Demon Cult.
Director Gao: Nascent Soul level?
Magnetism True Lord: The magic sect used this time is very powerful. It is beyond everyone's expectation that they can mobilize two gods. But even so, if there is no one to help from inside and outside, it is impossible to hijack the spiritual world inside and outside the university city so easily.
Director Gao: Who do you think it could be?
Magnetic Pole Master: It’s hard to say.
Magnetic Pole Master: In short, it is better to be careful.
Looking at the message sent by Lord Ci Ji, Director Gao sighed secretly, as if he had seen a figure hidden in the dark, standing silently in the darkness of the university town and planning something.
On the other side, Zhang Yu was questioned by Zhengshen shortly after leaving the laboratory.
As his thoughts reached the depths of the spiritual world, Zhang Yu began to answer questions from the righteous gods one after another.
But just as he thought, he was not the main target, and it ended after a brief inquiry.
Yu Xinghan, Shi Huaiyu, Le Mulan, Xiao Qingxuan and others also insisted that they hid with Zhang Yu until the incident was over. The seven of them testified against each other and everything was fine in the end, which made them all breathe a sigh of relief.
Just when Zhang Yu and his seven companions successfully passed the level, Mo Enjin on the other side was said to have been abducted by the Demon Cult's Jindan, but returned safely afterwards and became the focus of surveillance.
Su Yanyang was also suspected of being bewitched by the cult because he slept alone in a cemetery and missed the entire incident. He was sent to a rehabilitation class to participate in anti-cult training.
After rounds of inspections, when the rankings and scores were updated that evening, Zhang Yu unexpectedly discovered that his department's ranking had risen one place to 38th.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Did something happen to one of the people ranked ahead of me in the Weapon Refining Department? I don't know if they were killed by the Demon Cult when the Spirit Realm was disconnected, or if the righteous gods found out there was something wrong afterwards."
It's not just Zhang Yu. The rankings of all the students who have successfully survived in the university town have more or less improved.
Just as after a period of refinement, the surviving students all felt that their path to immortality seemed to be wider.
At the same time, just as Wanfa University was cleaning up the mess, the Top Ten League on the other side also came to an end.
