"No one survived?"
Wu Lan looked at Yang De on the side in shock, "All the people in World Tree are dead? Yueguang's headquarters was directly destroyed?"
At this point, her tone paused, "Yang Bu, if you say so, why do I feel that this style of killing embryos without leaving alive seems familiar..."
He Ao, who was drinking breakfast milk, looked at the people on the other end of the video conference and turned to look at him, blinking in confusion.
"Ahem," Yang De coughed, "This incident involves Class B. The situation is not that simple. The dean is now heading to Ellen."
Hearing this, He Ao was stunned, "Is it the dean who is here this time?"
"Yes," Yang De glanced at He Ao, "The dean thinks that the suggestions you made earlier are very good. Just as this happened, he is going to come and preside over it himself."
"The dean is gone?"
Wu Lan's eyes were obviously full of surprise, and then she said with some dissatisfaction, "He hasn't left Middle-earth for so many years, and he was willing to leave this time. We encountered problems several times before and couldn't find him for help." To people.”
"The dean has an agreement with other B-levels. We cannot take action easily, otherwise it may trigger other extraordinary organizations to join forces to deal with us."
Ji Po explained slowly.
"oh,"
Wu Lan held up her face with some frustration, and then she saw He Ao who was drinking milk across the screen, and changed the topic, "So how is the situation over there? Brother He Ao, are you in danger there?"
"fine,"
He Ao smiled and took a sip of milk. "There shouldn't be any danger now."
"However, we must pay attention to everything. The people involved in last night's incident are not simple."
Yang De thought, "You have been attacked by some mysterious organization before. That organization may be one of the core participants in last night's incident."
Then he raised his head and looked at He Ao, "Do you have any other information over there?"
"There are some,"
He Ao said softly,
“Now the remaining people of Moonlight have blocked off the place where the incident happened and nearby blocks, but they don’t seem to have the ability to deal with those things.
"The information obtained from Li Le is that Yueguang currently judges that what happened last night involved at least B-level or above existences. Now Yueguang's headquarters and parts of the Ruodan Palace Museum have fallen into some kind of twisted and weird state.
“And on the top of the Moonlight Headquarters building, the body of some kind of giant monster that can affect people’s minds was discovered.
"Moonlight doesn't have the ability to investigate right now, so they just sealed it off temporarily."
He Ao paused and continued, "According to information obtained from a military police captain I know, last night, there was a coma phenomenon that affected hundreds of thousands of people throughout Ellen South City.
“The whole incident ended quickly, and those who were unconscious woke up one after another, and there were no casualties.
"However, some personnel have reported that they saw strange shadows trying to devour their bodies. The mental state of these personnel is somewhat unstable. Most of them have lost part of their memory and will experience hallucinations. Currently, these reports have been cleared by Moonlight. take over.
"In fact, I have had dreams similar to shadows getting closer and closer for several days in a row. I have asked people around me who are more inspired, and they have all had similar dreams."
"Generally speaking, extraordinary people are more likely to sense extraordinary phenomena. In other words," Ji Po thought, "it is most likely a 'weird event'.
"There was most likely a strange incident that affected the entire city of Ellen last night, at least the southern city of Ellen. Hundreds of thousands of people fell asleep because of this strange event."
He further said, "Based on the situation of those who reported the case, because some people are naturally more susceptible to weird truths than ordinary people, so maybe the incident last night was not about sleeping, but... "
"murder."
Wu Lan took over the topic. Having worked with Ji Po for a long time allowed her to quickly understand Ji Po's thinking. She followed this thinking and continued,
"The strange phenomenon last night was most likely to have killed the entire south city of Ellen City. However, this strange phenomenon was prevented due to some accident. This 'accident' may be related to what happened last night." Related to the incident at Moonlight Headquarters,"
After saying this, she paused and said with a trembling tone, "A strange phenomenon that can cover half of a modern city and kill hundreds of thousands of people invisibly. How terrifying must be the thing driving this strange phenomenon? .”
Judging from the information currently available to the institute, the wider the scope of the strange phenomenon, the stronger the extraordinary items behind it that can drive it.
But even so, the most complex strange phenomenon that the institute has dealt with so far is only a C-level strange phenomenon that covers a small village gathering place and is not very harmful when it breaks out in a short period of time.
The area of the southern city of Ellen City is many times that of a small village, and its population is hundreds of thousands. To kill so many people at the same time, the power required is extremely terrifying.
Wu Lan felt that this level of power was beyond her understanding.
It's like placing a book of world math puzzles in front of an infant who is still counting from one to ten.
"At least judging from the current intelligence, more than one Class B died at the scene. Unfortunately, so far, there is no one who claims to know the truth about last night,"
Yang De said slowly.
"Would Hao Yi know anything?" Ji Po thought. "He was the only Class B in Ellen last night. Maybe he was also one of the parties involved in what happened last night."
"This guy is too mysterious, and he has the Velora in his hands. It's impossible to find him."
Wu Lan answered from the side, "And we haven't figured out his purpose yet, so he may not be willing to cooperate with us."
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the dean arrives to check it in person."
Yang De ended the topic, then turned his head and looked at He Ao,
"Now I'll trouble you over there. The dean should arrive at Ellen tomorrow morning at the latest. At this time, I have to trouble you to control the situation and avoid Moonlight and Yggdrasil from being stimulated to act excessively. But again, the same sentence In other words, everything is based on your own safety,"
"OK!"
He Ao nodded slightly.
Everyone chatted for a while and then ended the meeting.
He Ao turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window. The bright morning sun shone on the warm earth, giving this ancient city a golden glow.
New green shoots sprouted from the dry land on the roadside.
He raised his hand and drank the milk in the cup.
He sensed the spiritual consciousness in his mind. Compared with the ten spiritual consciousness remaining at the end of the last copy, he now has five and a half spiritual consciousness left. During this period, fighting against Class B consumed four and a half of his spiritual consciousness.
B-level miracles such as landslides and tsunamis, as well as his own strong physical fitness, mean that his spiritual consciousness is not consumed as much when fighting against B-levels as in dungeons.
Then he clicked on the personal information interface.
[He Ao]
[Permission Level: Advanced Player]
[Physical fitness: 1194]
[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Super Memory (Level C), Basic Firearms Proficiency, Talent Sequence 72: Secret Mage (Level C)]
[Mechanical modification: none]
[Martial Arts: Refining Qi and Becoming God (Level C)]
Physical fitness increased from 782 to 1194, an increase of 402.
The increase is not much. If you don’t have martial arts and enter the C level, the sudden increase of more than 500 is terrifying. However, the secret mage itself is not a talent sequence that focuses on close combat. This kind of increase should be what this talent sequence can achieve. It's the limit.
After being promoted, He Ao also obtained information about the abilities of the hidden mage.
First of all, the miraculous magic 'Fetching Objects from the Air' that He Ao originally mastered in the magician stage has been enhanced. The distance it can be used, the consumption of use, and the restrictions on the use of items have all been improved.
The original method of retrieving objects from the air can only retrieve relatively small items, and the effective distance is very short, only ten meters at most. Longer distances and larger items require energy consumption and put a burden on the body.
Now after promotion, the effective distance of this ability has been expanded five times, and the items that can be accessed are larger. Even if it exceeds this limit, the consumption caused is smaller, and the energy efficiency ratio has been improved.
Originally, retrieving objects from the air could not affect lives. Now, after paying a certain price, it can also affect weaker lives.
This also makes this ability a bit weird.
In addition to retrieving objects from across the air, the Hidden Mage comes with an innate miracle, the 'Hidden Body'.
When this miracle is activated, people around you will naturally ignore the existence of the hidden mage.
This kind of neglect is not just like the "night walk" of a night walker, where you can't see the person directly, but you are aware of the person's existence, but you will naturally not think about the person subconsciously.
In layman's terms, it means that people's sense of presence will be extremely low, making it difficult to notice them.
Jinya used this ability during the Velora incident.
However, this ability is different from other combat abilities that He Ao has come into contact with before. 'Secret Body' will not have a very good effect in combat. This ability is more biased towards 'secretness'.
It will follow a certain special connection and affect everyone who is related to or pays attention to He Ao.
To put it simply, when He Ao is causing trouble, this ability will passively reduce the probability of He Ao being suspected.
He Ao always felt that Jin Ya's 'hidden body' ability might be different from his own.
Because if Jin Ya's 'Secret Body' at that time was this version, it would have been impossible for her not to activate it, and He Ao would not have been able to guess her problem so easily.
And this ability to affect all relevant people along a special connection is a bit too scary.
However, the price brought by this powerful ability is also huge.
The 'Secret Body' can last up to seven days at a time, and its cooling time is very short, only twelve hours.
In other words, it can be used continuously in a certain sense, but its effect is the same as landslide and tsunami, and it applies to everyone without distinction.
The longer it is used, the fewer people in the world will pay attention to the user, and even the people around the user will lose their memories related to the user. This means that if it is used continuously without interruption, it is very likely that the user will be owned by everyone. People 'forget'.
Although he is alive, no one can see or remember him again.
This situation will most likely seriously affect a person's self-perception, and eventually lead the extraordinary person to go crazy.
In addition, during the use of the Hidden Body, the user's affinity for mystery will increase, making it easier to get involved in weird events hidden under the water.
Power and danger are always two sides of the same coin.
In addition, He Ao also has an empty 'skill slot'.
After becoming a hidden mage, He Ao can master up to three 'miracles'.
'Retrieval' and 'Hidden Body' each occupy one 'miracle' quota, and there is another miracle that He Ao needs to obtain by himself.
And the way to obtain this third miracle is also very simple,
kill.
Kill a C-level, and then solidify the opponent's ability into yourself, becoming your own 'miracle'.
Generally speaking, the hidden mage's ability is very strong, and it has some strong strange attributes.
And I don't know if it's because the ceremony was completed relatively well, but He Ao felt that this secret mage's ability was a bit too much.
If Jin Ya had these abilities, she could solidify two C-level skills at will, plus her stealth body, it would really be uncertain who would win between her and He Ao on the Verora.
However, this also proves that He Ao's speculation is correct.
When he saw the secret mage's promotion ceremony, he was thinking about what a 'miracle' was.
In the end, he made a guess based on the properties of miracle things like 'miracle magic' and 'miracle wand'. The miracle here is to 'make the impossible possible'.
The higher the difficulty and the more impossible the thing, the more it will satisfy the need for miracles after it is realized.
So He Ao set his sights on the mysterious shadow.
Playing games with gods, fighting gods with a mortal body, this is a miracle.
Of course, there are also some forced factors in choosing the mysterious shadow as the object of the ceremony, because the mysterious shadow has clearly shown its intention to never let go of all the 'sacrifice' in the city, including He Ao, once it arrives. .
Therefore, He Ao had no way out but to stop the mysterious shadow.
This is one of the reasons why he uses his own clone to receive the arrival of the mysterious shadow body.
If the descendant of the mysterious shadow really comes, and this guy determines the position of the main world, he may not forcefully come to start the sacrifice, then He Ao will be dead.
But He Ao resisted on his own, relying on his relatively strong mental resistance to still have a glimmer of hope.
However, in terms of the ceremony, in addition to the miracle, this incident affected hundreds of thousands of people and attracted the attention of all extraordinary organizations in the entire main world. It was indeed an overfulfillment of the ceremony.
The direct result of this 'excess' is that He Ao's secret mage ability after his promotion is a bit too strong.
And at the moment of promotion, he basically mastered the talent sequence of the Secret Mage, and passed the long mastery and familiarization stage. With only some hard work, he was ready to be promoted to B level.
However, this game with the mysterious shadow is not just about completing the promotion ceremony of the 'Hidden Mage'.
Chaoyi's C-level talent sequence is 'chess player'. This time it destroyed the god's layout, causing the ending to fall in the direction set by He Ao, and also greatly improved Chaoyi's proficiency.
However, mastering Super Memory is indeed much more difficult than mastering the Hidden Mage. This incident did not allow He Ao to fully master Super Memory, but the progress bar was pulled forward a lot.
The direct effect is that the sensing range of Super Memory has been further improved, and the physical fitness improvement after using Super Memory has changed from 490 to 540.
Coupled with his original physical fitness, when super memory is turned on, his physical fitness alone can reach 1744, which is four times that of an average C-level transcendent.
In addition, the cooling time of the three marks of super memory has also been reduced. The cooling time required to modify the B-level selection has changed from about thirty days to about twenty-one days.
It has been shortened by nearly one-third. Because of the reduction in the cooldown and the soul increase brought by the promotion of the Secret Mage, last night He Ao changed Jonati's selection and fell into the cooldown mark. There are only five days left in the cooldown. .
At this time, He Ao picked up the miracle wand from his waist and put it on the table. As he was promoted to a hidden mage, he felt that the miracle wand was more attractive to him.
The Miracle Wand may really come from a high-level talent sequence that is very close to the Hidden Mage.
But it's still too early to think about this now. He doesn't even know the name of the secret mage's subsequent talent sequence.
However, because of killing Jonati, the progress bar of landslide and tsunami has also reached 8/5 at this moment, which means that he can now directly use landslide and tsunami, and he has a back-up to save his life.
He Ao withdrew his gaze and raised his head to look at the pointed tower outside the window.
Moonlight spent the night using many huge opaque plastic sheets to cover the body of the giant snake entrenched on the roof.
He Ao is currently in a hotel not far from Moonlight Headquarters.
He Ao stood up slowly, feeling a slight pulling sensation on the scabbed wound on his back.
With the completion of the promotion ceremony, some of the wounds he left last night have been healed under the stimulation of the secret medicine, and his current injuries do not pose any major problems.
However, there is some trouble with the clone. There are more injuries suffered in the battle, and there is no promotion secret medicine to help the body recover.
So last night, as Hao Yi, he visited Lei Cheng, the doctor at the institute, and asked Lei Cheng to help with treatment and got some healing medicine for his body.
He Ao was not afraid of being suspected of Hao Yi. As the only 'B' in Ellen, it was almost certain that Hao Yi would be suspected.
Going so openly will make doubters doubt themselves.
And he suspected that Hao Yi and He Ao had something to do with each other.
After the ceremony is completed, He Ao no longer needs to strictly abide by the secret.
He Ao packed up his blood-stained clothes, put on the spare clothes he kept in the pirate's treasure chest, and left the hotel.
The streets were full of people passing by, and the aroma of barbecue reached He Ao's nostrils.
The city is as noisy as ever, as if everything is as peaceful as ever.
"I don't know why, but I didn't seem to have that strange dream when I went to bed at 11 o'clock last night."
"I told you that you have been under too much pressure recently and are hallucinating. There is no trace of horror. Yawn~ But why are you so tired when you wake up today?"
"Yeah, I feel so tired too, yawn~ Let's go to work. If you're later, you'll be late."
Pedestrians of all shapes and sizes passed by He Ao.
"At around 8 o'clock last night, a chemical factory in Nancheng leaked, causing residents in several nearby blocks to become drowsy. The factory has been controlled and closed, and the leaked chemicals have also been controlled. The chemicals produced by the factory are not safe. It has a strong poisonous effect, so citizens please do not panic."
The gentle voice of the newscaster came from the TV at the roadside restaurant.
"What the hell are these people bringing to the city to repair? They are even more bastards than that bastard king."
The diners watching TV cursed casually as they put the sliced grilled steak into their mouths.
A flying butterfly crossed He Ao's shoulder.
"Don't run away, that butterfly in front of you."
The little boy in a white coat flew past He Ao with a bug net in his hand.
"Little guy, you can't come in here."
A pair of thick palms lifted the little boy up and turned him upside down.
He Ao looked at the figure holding a little boy, neatly dressed in a military police uniform, and stopped.
After sending the little boy away, the gendarmerie captain raised his head and happened to see He Ao. He smiled, lit a cigarette and took He Ao into the deserted alley.
The two chatted while moving forward along the blocked area, the burning cigarette butts glowing like stars.
When the two reached the end of the alleyway, the gendarmerie captain also told He Ao the general arrangement of the moonlight he felt.
Because of the loss of most of the personnel, many less confidential matters that Moonlight had not decentralized had to be handed over to the gendarmerie.
This also allowed the gendarmerie captain to grasp some relatively key information.
"So, their current plan is to delay and wait for support to arrive?"
He Ao asked softly.
This means that Ellen's current situation is relatively stable.
"almost."
The military police captain nodded slightly. His footsteps stopped at the dividing line between sunlight and shadow at the edge of the alley. He turned to look at He Ao, "Is there anything else you need my help with recently?"
"It may not be needed these days."
He Ao shook his head.
Hearing these words, the gendarmerie captain was stunned, and then he said goodbye to He Ao with a smile.
Then he stood there, watching He Ao's figure gradually disappear at the end of the street, and slowly lit a cigarette.
"Boss, what were you talking about? You seemed very happy?"
The subordinate who had communicated with He Ao before came over, looked at the gendarmerie captain, and asked with some confusion.
Although the expression on the face of the military police captain has not changed much, after so many years of getting along with him, his subordinates can still clearly feel that their boss is in a good mood now.
The gendarmerie captain glanced at his subordinate, raised his head, and the shadows of the alleyway gradually faded from his face. The early morning sunlight covered his cheeks. He held a cigarette in his mouth, smiled, and said softly,
"The sun is coming out."
——
Nightfall
In an alley deep in the north city of Ellen City.
A hobbling old man was slowly pulling down the rolling shutter door of his barbecue restaurant. At this moment, accompanied by the roar of the whistle, a middle-earth man wearing glasses slowly walked out of the shadows.
"The barbecue served tonight is sold out. Come early tomorrow."
The old man held the rolling shutter door in his hand and said tremblingly.
He Ao looked at his brown-red pupils calmly and said softly, "Mr. Earl, I have something I want to confirm with you."
Six thousand chapters, please vote.
There should be another chapter ending tomorrow, um...probably.
(End of chapter)
