Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Hao Yi’s ’News’ (Long Chapter for Monthly Ticket)

The massive fog enveloping the entire city finally shattered as the splendid radiance from the hands of the colossal figure swept past, and the ships of the three major organizations that had been surrounding the city now finally had the opportunity to begin their slow approach to Newland City-State.

Within Newland City-State, as the opened doorways were on the verge of collapsing, some slightly intelligent twisted monsters chose to retreat.

Some of them tore through the twisted space directly, while others successfully retreated back to the other side of the doors, leading to the monster tide inside Newland City-State beginning to recede.

At this moment, in a seaside residence on Wenlan Island, ripples flickered and swayed, with figures rapidly emerging from these ripples.

They stood at the entrance of the residence, staring blankly at everything around them.

A man who appeared to be somewhat silent and wooden looked at the surrounding streets, stumbled, and fell to his knees, covering his cheeks, "We really made it back."

As more and more figures emerged from the doorways, low sobs also began to rise continuously among the crowd.

Kalin was the last of the survivors to come out of the doorway, followed by the blood-soaked He Ao.

As He Ao crossed the threshold with the massive ’Iron Coffin’ on his back, the already flickering doorway thunderously collapsed.

He Ao glanced at the sky, where the starscape that had been unchanging now began to shatter, and the great planetary reflection almost disappeared, revealing the true night sky.

They had successfully returned.

He slowly exhaled.

And almost at that instant, an intense feeling of weakness surged into his brain, causing him to stagger.

"Be careful!"

Kalin immediately reached out to support him, his hand coming closer to the iron cabinet, the seemingly ordinary Coffin.

However, this cabinet, which should not have been heavy, pressed down on him with the weight of mountains; he could not hold it back and was sent tumbling forward by the terrifying pressure.

"Be careful!"

He Ao, who had just steadied himself from the stagger, reached out and pulled him.

"Thank you."

Kalin awkwardly touched his cheek, then glanced at the Coffin He Ao was carrying on his back.

He now had some understanding as to why, despite his attempts to help He Ao carry the Coffin earlier to share the burden, He Ao had persistently refused.

The weight of this cabinet might well exceed his capacity to bear.

He quietly watched the young man in front of him, carrying the heavy Coffin and covered in blood.

"What’s wrong?" He Ao asked, his gaze somewhat puzzled.

His eyes were still somewhat bloodshot, and his vision hadn’t fully recovered.

Kalin looked into those bloodshot eyes and spoke slowly, "Thank you."

His voice, as if striking a crisp chord, caused all the sobs to fall silent at that moment.

"I know there’s a pharmacy nearby, just at the street corner ahead."

A young girl dressed in animal hides suddenly spoke up softly from within the crowd.

"I’ve been there," a reply immediately came from the crowd, "they have a lot of medicine for external injuries."

"I’ve been there too," another person chimed in, "I know the Boss, even if he’s not there, I can go ahead and get the medicine."

"I’ll go as well."

Another person stood up.

"I’m going too!"

"I’m going!"

One person after another stood up from the crowd.

"Actually, it’s not necessary," He Ao looked blankly at these people who had just been immersed in excitement and trembling, "normal medicines don’t work well for me, and besides, there are still many monsters in this city."

"That pharmacy is just a few steps ahead."

The man who claimed to know the Boss immediately picked up the conversation with a laugh, "Just wait for us, we’ll be back shortly, we are the best hunters of the Underground Palace, where is the Hunting Squad?"

He raised his hand and shouted, as figures quickly followed him, running out from behind him.

······

So, when He Ao’s clone controlled the Velora to emerge from the gradually stabilizing space of Newland City-State, what he saw was his main body wrapped tightly in bandages, like a zongzi.

As well as the survivors who, with seven twists and eight turns, stood guard in front of He Ao, warily watching this ’strange old-fashioned train that emerged from the void.’

"Cough,"

The central sitting He Ao’s main body coughed lightly, watching the Velora’s door slowly opening, pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "This is my friend."

He Ao’s clone also walked out from the train, his expression unchanged, stood at the doorway, and calmly said, "Get on."

Although the Velora did not have many carriages, it was still able to accommodate dozens of people.

He Ao settled the survivors in the dining car and the compartment carriages, then had his clone take away the main body and the iron cabinet under the pretext of healing.

In fact, he was barbecuing in the storage carriage.

These Transcendent plants and animals came from a warehouse prepared for him by Moonlight and the World Tree, and were part of the trade he made last time with the three major organizations for the relics slots.

The Research Institute’s Transcendent plants and animals were given immediately; he finished eating those during the last Navigator incident. The ones from Moonlight and the World Tree were delayed by just under a week.

The clone had just gone outside earlier to retrieve these Transcendent plants and animals, store them in the carriage, and even prepared a large grill with quite a few items on it.

Almost two hours had passed since He Ao consumed the nutritional canned food, and if he did not replenish his food soon, he would directly fall into a near-death state.

Meanwhile, as He Ao’s main body enjoyed his food, his clone was not idle either.

He controlled the clone, holding the jade pendant, and began hunting monsters still lingering in Newland City-State while driving the Velora.

The ability of the Shadowless Sword was highly advantageous in such small monster clearing situations. He Ao threw the sword out, circled the area a few times, and he would clear the monsters from a site.

Then these monsters would all turn into energy absorbed by the jade pendant.

Although each monster’s energy wasn’t much, the number of monsters was large.

Additionally, with the Velora’s great mobility, He Ao directly contacted Chen Lin asking him to devise a way to draw the monsters from various areas together, and then he quickly and efficiently cleared them.

Watching the energy inside the jade pendant continuously increase, He Ao felt exceedingly comfortable.

When the ships of the three major organizations docked, He Ao had already cleared all the slightly larger monsters in Newland City-State.

Once the situation stabilized a bit, he let the survivors from the Velora go into a hotel residence, telling them to go home on their own when day broke.

Then he cooperatively worked with the three major organizations, sweeping through the larger Newland City-State area again.

After everything was done, the energy in the jade pendant had increased by roughly half in addition to absorbing more than a tenth of the energy from "Carpenter" and "Vine"; the pendant now had over seventy percent, approaching eighty percent of energy.

This ensured that he would have no problems with his cultivation for a substantial amount of time.

And as He Ao and the three major organizations cleaned up, the light of Daybreak, which hadn’t graced the maritime city-state for dozens of hours, slowly appeared at the edge of the sky.

······

Click—

As dawn’s light poured through the window, the tightly shut cellar door was slowly pushed open.

The elderly with a full head of silver hair gazed quietly through the opened doorway, observing the scene outside.

The previously closed room door was unknowingly open, with straw amulets scattered all around; a gentle breeze played with the hinges, causing the old door to sway gently.

The streets were deserted, and the silent sunlight fell upon the mottled blood stains.

"Grandma? Can we go out now?"

From below in the cellar, came the slightly trembling voice of a little girl.

They had been hiding in this cellar for close to two days, since they first heard the terrifying noises, they had taken refuge in the cellar.

Their food and water had run out, and the emergency power supply had also been exhausted, plunging the cellar into pitch darkness.

Previously, all sorts of terrifying noises resounded outside, and Grandma wouldn’t let her go out.

Only now, the noises had disappeared for several hours, and they dared to open the door and take a look outside.

"Wait a moment."

The elderly struggled to push open the cellar door, climbed out with difficulty, then carefully closed the cellar door and walked toward the room door.

The little girl lifted her head, gazing at the cellar door which gradually went pitch black, steadied herself holding onto the ladder beside her.

Click—

After a good while, the cellar door was once again opened, and the silver-haired elderly man’s face appeared in the little girl’s view, "Seems like it’s safe now, come out."

The little girl then slowly crawled out of the cellar.

By that time, the elderly man had already turned around and began tidying up the mess in the house, "Everything is smashed, the cabinets are broken too, how much money is this gonna cost..."

Meanwhile, the little girl ran to the door and carefully began picking up the amulets from the ground, dusting them clean, and putting them away in a bamboo basket that had been torn in half, leaving only one side.

Her stomach rumbled loudly, and her face was pale with a hint of frailty. She cautiously picked up the straw amulets from the ground as if picking up clean pieces of bread.

These straw amulets were very cheap, but they required two people working for a long time, involving several procedures.

Just as she was picking up two straw amulets near the door frame, two somewhat tall shadows blocked the sunlight from outside, casting her petite body in shade.

She looked up somewhat blankly.

What appeared in her vision were a man and a woman, both wearing old animal skin clothes, with two plain, almost simple-looking middle-aged faces.

The man in the front looked down at the little girl on the ground.

His originally expressionless, somewhat stiff cheeks suddenly twitched, and he slowly squatted down, reaching out to embrace the little girl who was still holding an amulet.

The little girl trembled as she raised her hand and carefully touched the cheeks in front of her, as if touching the cotton candy from her dreams. She sniffled and gently pinched the tear-stained skin, whispering softly,

"Daddy, don’t cry."

——

The large-scale clearing of the polluted monsters had been going on for the entire day, and at the same time, the relocation of the survivors in Newland City-State was also underway.

The Research Institute had brought a special C-level Transcendent Prop, the ’Forgetfulness Stone’.

This stone could widely affect the memories of ordinary people, but its function was not to delete or modify a specific memory, but rather ’forget’.

The affected person’s memories would not disappear; they would simply be placed in the deepest recesses of consciousness, like some long-forgotten memories that wouldn’t come to mind unless triggered by many relevant keywords or exposed to extremely similar scenarios.

Li Cheng manipulated this Transcendent item, causing most ordinary people to ’forget’ their memories of that period.

The reason for doing so was simple, the more one had contact with the arcane, the easier it was for the arcane to find them. Moreover, these people had been in touch with those distorted high-level powers, meaning that the likelihood of post-event supernatural incidents occurring was increased.

And in supernatural events, the survival rate of most people was very low.

The Forgetfulness Stone could not only induce ’forgetting’ of memories, but it could also reduce the association between the affected individuals and all elements in the corresponding memories, decreasing the probability of them being sought out by supernatural events.

In some sense, reducing the associative link was the true ability of the ’Forgetfulness Stone’, while forgetting was a side effect.

Meanwhile, officials from Newland City-State stepped forward and defined the past two days’ incident as a ’massive earthquake’ that triggered a tsunami and resulting chain of casualties.

This was to prevent the leak of supernatural events and to keep people in other areas of the main world from knowing about this supernatural event, thereby causing harm to ordinary people in other regions who might get involved in supernatural events through no fault of their own just by knowing supernatural information.

Although the three major organizations fought against each other, they were in tacit agreement on handling such matters.

However, operational measures at the level of ordinary people could not stop the spread of this event within the supernatural world, and ’K’, this strange ’vocabulary’, spread throughout the main world through invisible channels.

...

Thud, thud, thud—

Crisp knocking sounds emanated from the firmly closed office door.

"Come in."

Li Cheng said, his brow deeply furrowed.

The office door opened, and He Ao, having taken a bath and changed clothes, pushed the door open and looked at Li Cheng, "Director?"

"You finally decided to come back?"

Li Cheng didn’t lift his head, "I thought you wanted to strike out on your own with Hao Yi."

He Ao’s clone stayed on the Velora, something it had discussed with Li Cheng.

The reasons given were the severe injuries and some matters that needed to be discussed with He Ao.

The delay was due to waiting for the meat blocks in the Nutritional Canned Food to regenerate.

"If that’s what the Director wishes, I will contact Hao Yi right now."

He Ao said with a smile.

"You cheeky brat,"

Li Cheng slammed the documents on the desk and looked up, "Grown wings, have we?"

When he noticed He Ao’s somewhat pallid face with traces of injury, his tone paused slightly, "The injury is not light?"

"Yeah,"

He Ao nodded, "I’ve had some nutritional canned food, but I still feel a bit tired."

This was a mental exhaustion; He Ao felt as if he had pulled an all-nighter for a week and then caught up on some sleep during the day. Although physically strong, he was still mentally fatigued.

Now, he was at his limit controlling the fragments of 001.

"You little brat,"

Li Cheng glanced at him and took out a small, semi-transparent bottle, similar to a snuff bottle, filled with purple liquid from his pocket and placed it on the table, "Try this. Bring it to your nostril and inhale directly."

He Ao picked up the snuff bottle, hesitated for a moment, then took a tissue from the desk’s box and wiped the mouthpiece.

Seeing this, Li Cheng’s face darkened.

Then he placed the small snuff bottle to his nostril and took a deep breath.

A puff of purple mist surged from the bottle and entered his nasal cavity.

The next second, a rush of intense clarity surged into his brain, replenishing his somewhat weakened soul significantly, and the fatigue that had troubled him for a long time eased miraculously in an instant.

"It really works."

He Ao looked at the snuff bottle in ’shock,’ then casually pocketed it.

From that contact, he had discovered that this was a C-level Transcendent prop.

"You’ve learned well how to pretend,"

Li Cheng glanced at He Ao’s action but didn’t stop him; he asked in a gentle voice, "The nutritional canned food, do you still have it?"

He Ao nodded. He had originally planned to return it to Yang De, but since Yang De thought his injuries hadn’t healed completely, he let He Ao keep it, and now he had used it again.

"I’ve found a new replacement for Yang De, so just keep the can with you,"

Li Cheng said as he flipped through the papers in his hand and looked at He Ao, "I see now, you’re even better at stirring up trouble than Yang De. You need that thing more than he does."

"How embarrassing for me."

He Ao scratched his head.

But he didn’t take out the nutritional canned food.

If it were Yang De, he would have given it back without being asked.

But as for Director Li Cheng, well, the director isn’t lacking in such treasures.

Li Cheng watched him with no intention to move, and let out a wry laugh.

He placed the documents on the table, and his expression finally became serious, "This time, was it an Angel you faced?"

"Yes!"

He Ao nodded lightly.

Li Cheng was the only person in the main world who possessed a weapon of Angel class and could exert Angel-class combat power to a certain extent; he was more concerned with, and more knowledgeable about, the true combat power of this level.

"Was it ’K’ who saved you?"

Li Cheng continued to inquire.

He Ao pondered for a moment and nodded.

That wasn’t incorrect to say.

"Do you think there might be a connection between Hao Yi and ’K’?"

Li Cheng pondered as he asked.

He Ao nodded again.

The relationship was quite close.

Li Cheng fell into silence, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, "Why would this ’K’ want to help us?"

Hum—

Just then, his phone on the table vibrated.

He picked up the phone to take a look, then raised his head, and with a look of ’confusion’ said softly to He Ao, "It’s a message from ’Hao Yi’."
