Chapter 268 The Entity of the Instance Arrives
After logging off from the Chosen Ones' capital city, Mordi returned to Xu City's lair with a full inventory of epic and legendary items.
"We've gained a lot this time, and the construction of the 'Radiant Blood Sea' can now be put on the agenda."
He was fairly satisfied with the deal, at least he got a tool that suited him well.
The old man, the Speaker, probably already had it all planned out behind the scenes, intending to use the Hell Furnace, a legendary artifact with hidden dangers, to trick him.
However, the Speaker did not expect him to act so decisively, directly erasing the furnace's spirituality.
"Let's first request some material assistance from Itnitina, and then build up the prototype of the Radiant Blood Sea."
As Modi thought this, he suddenly tightened his robe, and a strange chill shot from his spine straight to his brain.
Looking back, he was startled to see a small blue sword hovering in mid-air, radiating a deathly chill.
"The Ice Soul Cold Light Sword... Did you forge the Deathly Silence Light into it?"
"Yes, although that light was only of rare quality, it tempered the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword and simulated the Calamity of Death and Silence, which was enough."
Su Youli's voice came from the sword, as ethereal as the imagery it conveyed.
Then the small blue sword transformed into a beam of light, circling Modi affectionately a few times before disappearing into his sleeve.
Having adjusted to the coolness on his arm, Modi flicked his sleeve, releasing a corner of his divine kingdom to receive the river of blood surging from the other side of the void.
He wants to integrate the power of radiance into the divine kingdom he brought, thereby seizing the path of light.
Xu City, the underground headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events.
After finishing the last tasks, Chang Jingtian finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back heavily in his chair, and closed his tired eyes.
Since the "divine intervention" incident, he has had little time to rest, either dealing with the aftermath of the incident or other unusual matters.
During this time, he also had to find time to run dungeons and outwit other chosen ones.
If it weren't for the rationality supplements provided by the department, he wouldn't know how he would have survived this period.
He glanced at the unopened sanity supplement on the table, shuddered, and quickly put it into the drawer.
He was really tired of the taste of this stuff.
"Hey, Captain Chang, you've finished your work?"
Xu Sui pushed open the door and entered, glanced at his empty desk, and greeted him.
"Just finished... What brings you here? Are you trying to dump your work on me?" Chang Jingtian became alert. "You're judging others by your own standards." Xu Sui shook his head and coughed twice, covering his mouth and nose with his hand.
"You're injured?" Chang Jingtian noticed his disordered breathing and frowned. "Are those Beacon Legion people that difficult to deal with?"
"We were careless for a moment and fell into their trap." Xu Sui waved his hand. "Fortunately, most of the legion members have been arrested, and only a small number are still on the run. They should be able to stop causing trouble again."
Chang Jingtian sighed when the Beacon Legion was mentioned.
In the "God's Descent" incident, the chosen ones who caused trouble in Xu City were members of the Legion. Their purpose has been revealed through interrogation: they wanted to stall the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs in order to seize the item that was suspected to be the core of the instance.
But they miscalculated. At the center of the psionic fluctuations, there was no such thing as a descending instance; there was only a terrifying divine kingdom.
Because of the lingering echoes left by the divine kingdom, that building remains sealed off to this day, with only experts from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs conducting research there.
"That should be the last batch of legion remnants. After this, the Beacon Legion should no longer dare to enter Xu City."
Xu Sui breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
After today, he should be able to have some time to relax.
hum.
The phone in their pocket suddenly vibrated, and the two of them were startled. They both took out their phones and glanced at them at the same time.
Then, both of them simultaneously frowned, as if a dark cloud had flashed across their faces.
"We've got more work to do. The Beacon Legion has been spotted in the north of the city." Xu Sui said in a subdued tone, his face expressionless.
"Why can't we kill all these bastards?"
Chang Jingtian opened the drawer, took out the bottle of rationality supplement again, and drank it all in one gulp.
His fatigue completely gone, he stood up, put on the coat with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs logo printed on the back, and walked out the door.
A question arose in his mind: the Beacon Legion had lost so many men in Xu City, how could they still dare to show themselves?
"Forget it, let's take them out first, then apply to the higher-ups. It's been too long since we've carried out a large-scale operation. It seems these people have forgotten what it was like when the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs was first established."
Chang Jingtian thought to himself.
Soon, the agents of the Xu City Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs assembled and launched a special operation.
In the northern suburbs of the city, there are many abandoned factories.
This area used to be a factory area, but as Xuzhou City adjusted its development focus, more and more factories moved to other areas, and this place gradually became abandoned.
Normally, this is a deserted, abandoned factory area, but recently, a group of outsiders have taken over it.
Since they arrived, most of the homeless people in the neighborhood have mysteriously disappeared, and no one knows where they went.
Only a small number escaped and spread the news within a limited circle.
"Damn it, I didn't expect them to escape anyway."
The person in charge of the Beacon Legion in Xushi was named Zhang Hao. At this moment, he had a gloomy face and looked impatient.
Not long ago, an agent from the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs disguised himself as a homeless man, infiltrated the factory area, and after being discovered, took down several Legion members before leaving unscathed.
When this intelligence was presented to him, Zhang Hao's face turned dark. He felt as if every word on it was slapping him in the face.
"Forget it, there's no point in pursuing it now. We need to figure out how to deal with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs' investigation."
He looked at his companion and asked in a deep voice, "Stop looking at that map. Quickly move the personnel and supplies, or it will be too late when the Bureau of Extraordinary Events arrives."
His companion, Kane, who was also the head of the Beacon Legion in Xu City, only glanced at him before turning his gaze back to the map, as if the map held immense appeal.
"you......!"
A hint of anger flashed across Zhang Hao's face, and he was about to explode when Kane spoke up.
"No need for that trouble, they can't come."
The tall, thin man in the black legion uniform pointed to a corner of the map and said, "The psychic currents tell me he's coming."
"Him?" Zhang Hao noticed this unusual word, his expression changed, and he pressed, "When?"
"About half an hour later, I could feel the immense spiritual power emanating from Him!"
Kane's eyes gleamed with fanaticism, and his entire body trembled with excitement.
As a psychic, he had a deep understanding of the immense power within the psychic undercurrents, and this was merely a trace of power emanating from the newcomer.
"Are the powerful psionic creatures of the dungeon world finally about to descend?"
Zhang Hao's pupils dilated, the previous sense of urgency vanished, leaving only the smug satisfaction of a successful conspiracy.
"Hey, now those guys from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs are in a tough spot."
According to intelligence from within the Beacon Legion, what is about to descend upon Xu City is a powerful psionic entity that comes with malice.
The world he was born into had already been destroyed by the trials, and the souls of all life in that world had merged into his body.
In a sense, he is the test that descends upon that world.
All this information came from a dungeon that the legion members had experienced. During their mission, they successfully completed a hidden quest and arrived at the world beyond the dungeon.
In that world, they encountered a transcendent psychic entity dwelling in a ruined city and reached a pact with him.
Their presence in Xu City was also due to that agreement; now it seems that most of their colleagues have already completed the arrangements.
"Stop packing, let's hurry to the landing site and meet up with the legion members there."
Zhang Hao gave the order, and the members of the Beacon Legion inside the abandoned factory sprang into action, almost all of them coming out.
Kane was among them, gazing at the city from afar, his telepathic connection riding the undercurrents of the mind on the other side of the world, arriving at the landing site before he himself.
"I see it, the dimensional rift is expanding, and His gaze has been cast upon this realm."
He muttered to himself, his face still burning with undiminished fervor.
This wasn't fanaticism, but rather a more morbid and obsessive belief, which sent chills down Zhang Hao's spine.
"Madman, no wonder he became a core member of the legion," he muttered.
Although he and Kane were both in charge of the Legion's Xu City, Kane's position was actually higher than his; he was a core member parachuted in from headquarters.
Most of the time, Kane doesn't get involved, but at certain crucial moments, even Zhang Hao has to listen to him unconditionally.
Chang Jingtian led a team of agents from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs to quickly approach the factory where the Beacon Legion was hiding.
"Everyone be on high alert. The Beacon Legion is no pushover. Even Old Xu suffered a loss at their hands."
He glanced at the abandoned factory not far away, then suddenly shook his head. "It's a pity the higher-ups want us to capture them alive if possible, otherwise I would have just used an epic-level item to blast them to smithereens."
He made a gesture, and an operator behind him immediately understood.
The operator pressed one hand to his temple, activating his psionic energy to awaken the mechanical spirit of the mechanical creations on the vehicle.
"The psionic network is now online, and the machine spirit has been awakened."
All operators' vision was split in two: one half was their original vision, and the other half was the vision provided by the psionic network.
The drone took off from the vehicle, flew over the high wall, and silently infiltrated the factory, uploading everything seen by the visual sensors to the psionic network.
"Target marked," the operator reminded. "Captain, something seems off; there are too few people here."
"Could it be that word got out and they've already escaped?" Chang Jingtian's eyelids twitched.
Relying on the drones' psionic stealth capabilities, the Bureau of Paranormal Affairs easily uncovered everything inside.
The more detailed the information, the more Chang Jingtian frowned.
"Did those people escape, or did they set a trap for us?"
After a moment's hesitation, he made a decision: "Those people's psionic levels aren't very high. Let's see if the weapons mounted on the drone can subdue them."
"Yes." The operator first ordered the drone to move to the appropriate position, and then sent an instruction through the psionic network.
The next moment, all the drones started working at once.
The invisible mental fluctuations entered the minds of the legion members through the psionic amplifier.
"Down, down." The operator controlling the drone shook his head, and a second later, the drone transmitted the image of the target falling to the ground.
"Well done." Chang Jingtian selected a few people, and then took the lead, rushing into the factory first.
After the search, his expression turned grim.
Just like the previous drone search, there were only a dozen or so people in front of them in the entire factory, which did not match the number of people reported in the intelligence.
"Am I still too late?"
Chang Jingtian couldn't help but feel discouraged. Just then, the communicator provided by the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs rang again.
"Old Chang, hurry back to the city, something terrible has happened!"
Xu Sui's slightly flustered voice came from the other end of the communicator. Before Chang Jingtian could ask for details, he revealed a bombshell piece of information.
"A level 12 psionic energy fluctuation has been detected in the West Third District of Xu City. Its characteristics match those of the seventh type of special event—the descent of a copy entity."
Upon hearing the level 12 psionic energy fluctuation, Chang Jingtian's heart nearly leaped out of his throat.
The reason was simple: he was genuinely terrified by that scarlet god last time.
"Why is it another level twelve psionic energy fluctuation? Could it be that same deity from last time?"
While directing the agents, Chang Jingtian asked a question.
"No, based on the fluctuation characteristics, it shouldn't be that deity, but a new copy of the entity."
Xu Sui's voice, mixed with noise, came from the other end of the communicator.
"In addition, we also found traces of Beacon Legion activity in the Western District 3, and this matter must be related to them."
Putting down the communicator, Chang Jingtian glared fiercely at the captured legion members.
"They used a feint attack in one direction, and we were outsmarted."
He ordered his men to put the prisoners on the cart and then hurriedly led his men to the assembly point.
The psionic fluctuations generated in the West Third District were so strong that they affected other areas of Xu City as well.
It not only affects the chosen ones, but also interferes with some ordinary people with high levels of inspiration.
"With this kind of undercurrent of emotions... Xu Shi is afraid that many artists will commit suicide tonight."
Standing on the top floor, Modi gazed at the distant West Third District and couldn't help but shake his head.
The sky was dark and oppressive, and in the distance, the dark clouds in the western sky moved with the wind, forming vortexes.
"A storm is brewing."
He released his spiritual consciousness, directing it to penetrate the psychological undercurrents of the Western Third District, where it lay dormant, awaiting the arrival of that otherworldly psychic entity.
"This world group is truly peculiar; it even has something like this, a pure energy entity... I can sense its immense soul mass."
Modi couldn't help but lick his lips; for some reason, this energy entity aroused his appetite.
"Isn't this just like inviting me to a buffet? It's nice to suck on some squid once in a while, as a way to keep evil outsiders from invading my Xuanxing."
Gently pressing the cold, hard object in his sleeve, he added, "Of course, it's for you too."
The agitation in his sleeve gradually subsided, and Modi stood at the edge of the rooftop, calculating the arrival time of the energy entity.
Besides him, the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword was also interested in physical energy, and like him, it only had a hunger.
The undercurrent of consciousness suddenly intensified, and above the sky, a rift in the astral plane slowly unfolded.
Modi narrowed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and his gaze pierced through the clouds dyed purple by an unknown force, meeting the eyes of the being behind the veil.
