Chapter 457: Chapter 456: Genius Spokesperson Exposes Themselves Online

The Insect Tide came swiftly and vanished just as quickly from Zone 14, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, witnessing this scene, Ge Changming couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. For a camp, a strong protagonist indeed had the power to hold up the heavens.

"Let’s head back."

Stretching, Lu Zixun lazily said.

"Giddy up~ Back to the palace~"

Hearing Lu Zixun say that, Ge Changming purposely squeaked his voice loudly.

Such posing behavior resulted in a plum blossom mark on his forehead.

...

Although Lu Zixun had never visited the Crimson Academy, his regular video calls with Lin Siyin gave him a general understanding of it.

The main purpose of establishing the Crimson Academy was, first, to teach Spiritual Ability Users who had come from human society the rules of the Crimson Land.

Second, it was to enable them to survive longer in this world.

Don’t look at how leisurely Lu Zixun was all day; it was because he had established his own camp.

But if you wanted to survive in the Crimson Land, you needed to have enough Crimson Coins, and the prerequisite for earning Crimson Coins was joining a camp.

Around the Crimson Academy, there were certainly portals to various ruins.

But these ruins were under the control of Zhenfei and Sha Fei. Do you want to take on tasks?

No problem, just show your medals first.

It was then that Lu Zixun learned there existed Spiritual Energy creatures without physical form within the ruins, known as Void Spirits.

After killing them, you would obtain Spiritual Ability Fragments, which were the items used to exchange for Crimson Coins.

"Si Yin, what’s the difference between a Spiritual Power Crystal and a Spiritual Ability Fragment?"

Lu Zixun was curious about these newly encountered terms.

"A certain amount of Spiritual Ability Fragments can be combined into a Spiritual Power Crystal, which can restore Spiritual Energy more than twice as fast as man-made Spiritual Power Crystals. However, the synthesis has a high chance of failure due to the unstable Spiritual Energy within the fragments."

After pausing a moment, Lin Siyin continued, "Do you need Spiritual Ability Fragments? I can exchange some at the academy."

"No need."

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun continued, "Just curious, what is the principle behind the production of Void Spirits?"

The idea of Spiritual Energy creatures without physical form sounded complex; could it be a special product of the ruins?

"Regarding this question, someone asked during class as well, but the teacher didn’t provide an answer."

Thinking for a moment, Lin Siyin added, "However, according to the information recorded in the books, Void Spirits are likely projections of a higher world."

Lin Siyin’s words made Lu Zixun’s pupils constrict, stirring tumultuous waves within him.

The weight behind the words "higher world" confirmed the existence of another world beyond the Crimson Land.

After a brief chat, Lu Zixun asked Lin Siyin to rest well before ending the call.

Summoning Ge Changming, Lu Zixun spoke gravely, "Go investigate the issue about the higher world."

"Okay."

Staring thoughtfully out the window, Lu Zixun felt a sense of unreality.

As he grew stronger and learned more, he took the note about the Demon God’s protection increasingly seriously.

’This world is but an illusion; never let yourself be deceived.’

At first, he had Ge Changming investigate who the Demon God was, but they never reached a conclusion.

Now Lu Zixun understood.

It wasn’t that the intelligence department was incapable; rather, it was very possible the Demon God didn’t exist in the Crimson Land but in the higher world.

If one could place so-called Void Spirits into the ruins, then, by reverse inference, could it mean that people from the higher world could also descend to the Crimson Land in this manner?

Thinking back to when he had used a call for help in human society, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed.

That powerful being might be someone from the higher world.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun felt utterly exhausted.

This feeling of knowing nothing, fumbling in the dark, was just too awful.

...

The next day.

The morning dawn shone into the room; Lu Zixun, who hadn’t slept all night, was oblivious until Ge Changming entered the room, bringing Lu Zixun back to his senses.

Seeing Lu Zixun’s weariness and the paper balls all over the floor, Ge Changming raised an eyebrow, "Brother Xun, did you not sleep at all last night?"

"I did sleep, just sleepwalking."

Glancing at Ge Changming, Lu Zixun realized the man now particularly enjoyed asking questions he already knew the answer to.

Like a few days ago when Lu Zixun was drinking bubble tea, and the guy leaned in to ask, "Brother Xun, are you having bubble tea?"

Lu Zixun initially thought this was just a temporary lapse of reason.

But soon after, when Lu Zixun was rummaging through his room for a charger to charge his phone, the guy came up with another question: "Brother Xun, are you going to charge your phone?"

From then on, Lu Zixun’s patience wore thin with Ge Changming’s knowing inquiries.

After a sheepish smile, Ge Changming abruptly changed the subject, "After a few days of fermenting, the Human Ghost information we released has stirred up quite a storm. Zhenfei’s people tried to muddle the waters but got promptly banned by Ling."

On the Star Network, Ling could be said to be a quasi-godly existence.

"It started with people not believing, calling it fake information artificially whitewashed by the Demon Country, but once the follow-up videos were released, these people shut their mouths."

Seeming to hear the sound of faces being slapped, Ge Changming laughed mischievously, "For the first time, I feel the thrill of delivering such a solid slap; all the patience these past few days wasn’t for nothing."

Expecting this outcome, Lu Zixun showed no sign of joy, half-closing his eyes to ask, "What’s Zhenfei’s stance?"

"The same old strategy, trying to shift the topic, subtly eradicating Human Ghost’s impact. However, we’ve been keeping watch constantly."

Shaking his head, Ge Changming continued, "It’s probably their first time dealing with such decisive evidence, and their handling of it isn’t great; they were caught off-guard immediately."

Unsure what Ge Changming meant, Lu Zixun looked at the information passed to him and suddenly understood.

A statement of apology concerning Zhenfei had just been posted on the Night Language Forum.

"For humanity, we have never intended such consequences..."

Seeing the first sentence, Lu Zixun chuckled; this was an impressive statement.

Essentially outing themselves, it was just as well Lu Zixun didn’t know this person—otherwise, he might suspect it was someone from his own circle.

With things having reached this point, Zhenfei’s attempt to whitewash the Human Ghost affair was probably doomed.

For a while, the Demon Country seemed poised for some peace and quiet.

"Brother Xun, there’s one more thing."

Seeing that Lu Zixun was about to fall asleep, Ge Changming quickly added, "Regarding the Ouyang family, I seem to have come across some information about Ouyang Ming."

Ouyang Ming...

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Zixun perked up and asked, "What kind of information?"
