Chapter 579: 532 White Wax 2

More than ten seconds later.

In a dark, dense area of tall trees.

Li Chengyi stood silently in front of a massive oak tree, its girth requiring at least three people to encircle.

The sensing from the Floral Bead was right here, but there was not a single person in sight.

He reached out his hand, as if there was an invisible point suspended in the air, fixed in that spot.

That was the position sensed by the Floral Bead.

One step forward would cross it, one step back would move away from it.

"Inside the Blind Spot?"

Li Chengyi took a deep breath.

He had first located the Floral Bead belonging to Paine, as he wanted to find where Paine and his own family were.

But the current situation was unexpectedly like this...

"He took everyone into the Blind Spot..."

Whooo~~~~

All of a sudden a piercing alarm sounded from above.

Li Chengyi also sensed something and looked up at the sky.

The previously bright lit black shield had rapidly dimmed.

The whole city was completely devoid of light, and it was during such times that one could see the giant hemispherical shield was not completely opaque; the faint contours outside were vaguely discernible.

Whoosh!

From here, one could see huge birds with no eyes, their bodies dripping with thick liquid, swiftly flying over the top of the shield.

These giant birds appeared semi-transparent, as though they were phantoms at one moment and solid the next, quite bizarre to behold.

What made Li Chengyi’s heart sink even more was that these birds, numbering at least in the thousands with a single glance, each had an extremely intense and powerful life force.

That life force was nearly on par with the demons he had encountered in the Sea of Black Mist.

It was the presence of at least a Single Seal...

He now seemed to understand why the Earth-Moon and White Star together had been beaten into retreat, suffering heavy casualties.

Turning his gaze back, Li Chengyi took a deep breath, knowing that the priority now was to find the others.

’Since they’ve entered the Blind Spot, let’s try to use Reverse Trace to enter directly...’

Whether Reverse Trace could enter depended on whether the Blind Spot would repel and squeeze him out.

He was not afraid of a small Blind Spot, but feared that a place where so many people had gone might be a vast Blind Spot.

Having determined the direction, Li Chengyi did not immediately use Reverse Trace, but instead took a deep breath and consecutively used Shadow Flash!

He began to flicker towards the locations of the other Floral Beads.

More than ten minutes later.

On a small island in the middle of the ocean, he found the Blind Spot entry point where Xiao Zhong had gone in.

Then, there was Rainbow Candy and Da Xiong; it seemed like they had entered the same Blind Spot, in a coconut grove by the seaside.

The location for Dragon Gate Crane was an abandoned manor in the wilderness.

The Floral Bead belonging to Tang Yuwei was found in a burnt-out and melted wreck of an aircraft, bonded together with the interior of the entire aircraft.

As for Tang Yuwei... there was no need to think about it, she had also died in battle... Li Chengyi collected the first Floral Bead and continued to search for the rest.

The last was Boss Xindela. Also in the same wooded area as Paine’s location.

Clearly, he had retreated along with most of the others.

By now, the positions of all the Floral Beads had been confirmed.

Li Chengyi felt fortunate that he hadn’t used Reverse Trace right from the start. Even with his current strength, rashly entering an unknown Blind Spot could be dangerous, and he couldn’t just obliterate everything and flip the table.

After all, for the sake of refuge, the Blind Spot chosen by Paine was likely a super-large one capable of withstanding danger and pull.

The world within the Blind Spot, the smaller it is, the more dangerous it actually is, and the shorter the reboot time.

The larger it is, the longer the reboot time—calculated in years. Just like Panguang, Midlane.

This was practically a world in itself.

Although it would still be fraught with numerous dangers, as long as one found a suitable place to hide, it would be possible to live safely.

Hadn’t the Blind Spot Individuals in Yunshan managed to live so much by just surviving?

Having confirmed Paine’s departure to the Blind Spot, Li Chengyi returned to the Li Family to check.

As expected, the house was empty, only a piece of paper was left on the table, pressed down by a black inkstone.

He picked up the note and unfolded it.

’Boss, I don’t know if you can see these words, but regardless, I’m leaving it here, as if you can see it.’

’The situation is getting worse and worse, some days ago, someone claiming to be the leader of Yuan Ying came to seek me out, telling me that a being has set its sights on our world. I couldn’t understand, but he used many inconceivable methods to make everything clear to me. I understood their existence, as well as my own, and the connection with the entire world.’

’He called me the original body and informed me if I were to die, the whole Earth-Moon White Star world would lose hope and could only head towards complete destruction. Therefore, I must escape, avoid the gaze of those beings.’

’If you see this note, I hope you understand that I haven’t betrayed anyone. Until you find us, I will do my best to keep everyone alive. Xu Meng told me you are very strong, and when you come back, you will definitely be able to save everyone and restore everything to how it used to be. So.... I will try... try my best to wait... — Paine.’

The handwriting was very scrawled, and the tone was very rushed.

After putting down the paper, Li Chengyi roughly assembled all the pieces of the puzzle in his heart.

Just in the time of his absence, a powerful individual had set their sights on the Earth-Moon Blind Spot’s primal entity, coming to hunt it, and it was very likely that the catastrophe of the Blind Spot’s eruption was a special technique they had concocted.

"Forget it, it seems that I must find Paine as soon as possible...."

He had never anticipated that everything upon his return would turn into such an escape scenario.

The strong entity hunting the primal entity, capable of knowing the existence of the primal entity, must at least be a fearsome individual that could roam the Black Sea.

In the peril-ridden Black Sea, even now, he dare not claim he could roam freely.

Clearly... the opponent would not be weak...

After pondering for a moment, Li Chengyi decided to seek out another more reliable source of information.

’Yserine, are you still there?’

Silence, quiet.

Li Chengyi was not in a hurry, repeatedly calling the other party’s name in his mind.

He had never broken free from the Tightening Grasp Blind Spot’s pull, so theoretically, whenever he wished, he could enter it and see Yserine.

Soon, a familiar and tender pulling force transmitted onto his body, and Li Chengyi relaxed as much as possible, following the pulling force, closing his eyes, and extending his consciousness power into it.

Hiss!

In an instant, the surrounding environment changed dramatically.

He reappeared in the dimly lit bedroom of a young girl.

The door of the room was open, and a slender figure, hand resting on a silver-white cane, turned to look this way.

"Brother??"

Yserine’s voice was hesitant.

Li Chengyi opened his eyes, looking towards her.

On that familiar pretty face, a dark scar had appeared at some unknown time.

It was Yserine whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Now she was almost as tall as himself, clad in a black silk dress, her long hair tied up with a black band, wearing a necklace of teeth of unknown material around her neck.

"It really is you!! Brother!! You’re back!!"

As Yserine finally confirmed his identity, the caution in her eyes quickly turned into surprise.

With a quick step, she rushed over and hugged Li Chengyi’s waist tightly, burying her head in his embrace.

Only then, did Li Chengyi notice that one of her hands was empty, the forearm... missing.

"Your hand!?" His expression changed slightly.

"It’s nothing serious, just a minor injury. It will grow back slowly in the future," Yserine said cheerfully.

"Where on earth did you go, brother? I waited for you for so long... When those bad people invaded, everyone thought you would definitely appear, but in the end... we nearly all died. If it hadn’t been for the teacher’s intervention to hide and teleport us, you probably would never have been able to see everyone again when you returned...." Her tone turned sad.

"Who are they?" Li Chengyi asked in a deep voice, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"It was White Wax, an organization called White Wax," Yserine replied.

"White Wax?" Li Chengyi had never heard of it, immediately frowning. Given that the information he had received through his Flower Language Technique was plentiful, it was strange that even he had not heard of this power...

"Just mentioning this name, you might not be aware, but if I mention another, you would definitely know," Yserine said earnestly. "Do you remember that painting you once investigated?"

"That painting? What painting?"

"Remember the little chubby boy from the painting involved with the Mist Street Blind Spot slot machine that you mentioned, brother?" Yserine reminded.

"Is it him? What about him?"

"That little chubby boy is not a native of the Mist Street Blind Spot. To be precise, Mist Street Blind Spot is connected to many Blind Spots, not just ours, but also Midlane’s and many others. And White Wax is one of the most powerful among them."

Yserine explained seriously, "Don’t rush it; first, let me take you to see the teacher. He has spent many valuables saving people previously, and it pained him a lot. He’s been hoping for you to return and make up for it."

"If it’s indeed confirmed that the senior saved people, of course I’ll make it up to him, not just compensation, but also a proper expression of gratitude!"

Li Chengyi’s heart eased, finally having found a credible source of information.

Immediately, Yserine took hold of his hand, walking out of the bedroom door, down a flight of stairs, and into the Dusk Library.

The library was perpetually enveloped in sunset red light, with a small door on the wall leading to another room, a silver-white ancient bone wind chime hanging on the door.

Yserine approached, grasped the doorknob, and gently twisted it.

The other side of the door led to a spacious seaside terrace with cooling breezes at dusk.

Within the white terrace railing, Professor Mimam was dressed in a simple white T-shirt, his tentacle legs spread and snapping, with a floating, sparkling colorful sphere on the small round table beside him, its patterns and shapes constantly changing and flowing.

The professor reached out his hand and made a virtual grip on the sphere, seemingly remotely controlling the patterns inside.

Sensing Li Chengyi’s entrance, he turned around, his blurred face looking their way.

"Long time no see... It’s good you didn’t rashly teleport to the Blind Spot where Paine is, but chose to come to me first...."

"Indeed, long time no see... Professor Mimam, I’m grateful for your critical aid. This debt of gratitude will be repaid in the future," Li Chengyi promised sincerely.

"Good, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Now, let’s take a look at what kind of entity White Wax is, the one that has attacked the Earth-Moon Blind Spot." Professor Mimam said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, the origins of White Wax are actually related to that painting you guys came into contact with before... If you think about it, it was actually a situation instigated by you."

"Me?" Li Chengyi was momentarily taken aback.
