Chapter 1636: Chapter 1634 The Conspiracy Emerges

Concerned with the attention of a King-Level Existence possibly focusing on himself.

And since M.O. was meeting a distinguished guest, the "Skeleton Storage Place" remained closed off.

During this period, Han Dong stayed secluded in the hotel suite...

Of course, he was accompanied by Sally, and likewise Mr. Newton, who locked himself in the Mechanical Rubik’s Cube, oblivious to the outside world.

On the first night, Han Dong stayed up all night, worried that the suspected King-Level mysterious invader would suddenly arrive.

Of course.

Han Dong wasn’t just idling; apart from playing small games with Sally to enhance mental focus,

he also took the time to visit the brain world to ask the Swollen Doctor about the ’Spinal Body’ research status.

"Lord, the essence of this thing has been figured out.

Considerable effort was spent extracting unmutated ’stem cells’ from within this Spinal Body, and through culturing these stem cells, we eventually obtained this thing."

What the Swollen Doctor displayed was an ordinary spine originating from a Ghoul.

"Hmm? The internal essence of the Spinal Body Demon is just a Ghoul’s spine?

No wonder it could bypass the fundamental defenses of the Zothique Continent and swiftly infiltrate inside.

By the way, how did they manage to turn a Ghoul’s spine into an independent consciousness entity, and outwardly appear as a whole new species of Demon?

Doctor, can you do that?"

"It’s not just outwardly appearing as a new species of Demon, but the entire entity does... one must delve deep into the roots to find its original affiliation.

Essentially, a new species has already been formed.

This is a rather advanced biological technology!

It could even be said to be a method of biological alteration that violates the "World Rule".

When I reach Mythic Body and can interfere with World Rules, it might be possible, but the process remains very complex.

Moreover, I have a rather terrifying hypothesis..."

At this moment, Han Dong’s thoughts connected with the doctor’s and he also reached a hypothesis, quickly in agreement:

"Doctor, you mean to say... the mysterious person invading the Zothique Continent possesses an ability to ’create new life forms’.

Not just the ’Spinal Body’.

They could even create more concealed ’new species’, which may have already spread across every corner of the Zothique Continent, just lurking in the dark temporarily inactive.

Currently, only letting the ’Spinal Body’ be exposed, deliberately guiding M.O.’s thought patterns, focusing primarily on detecting spinal conditions."

"Exactly.

If they can transform a common spine into a new species,

surely, they modify other species too... the ’Spinal Body’ is merely a smokescreen cast across the Zothique Continent."

Han Dong nodded, "Hmm! That’s highly possible.

And such a strategy has already succeeded; the current identity verification for Outsiders at the capital, Zurbaha, focuses mainly on spinal inspection."

"Lord... should we abandon this mission?

I feel that what’s happening here isn’t simple; M.O. might even actually be overthrown."

"Since we’ve already come here, and Mr. Newton even came personally, it’s best to meet with M.O. first.

If the attitude they show isn’t inclined to cooperate, or they propose demanding conditions, we’ll immediately cease cooperation and retreat from the Zothique Continent."

"Okay!"

...

However.

Han Dong stayed in the hotel for the whole day, and no one came to find him.

Perhaps the other side didn’t take Han Dong seriously at all,

or maybe they just glanced casually without recognizing his identity, hence not inviting deadly peril.

"It might also be because Sally is beside me... assessing the risk, they chose not to act against us."

Then.

Han Dong again contacted yesterday’s guide, Basel Conch Bone, under the control of the Mad Laugh.

"I’ve received intelligence; M.O.’s distinguished guest has left the Skeleton Storage Place.

But the stairway entrance to the Great Tomb Area remains sealed, perhaps related to the increasingly severe situation recently.

Moreover, since your arrival at the capital yesterday,

the ’dark currents’ concealed within the Zothique Continent began surfacing actively in different regions, and currently, several key towns have fallen into chaos."

"Since our entry into the city? The invasion speed has increased?"

"Yes, and besides the most common ’Spinal Body’, other species have appeared... all survive by attaching to the Ghouls, with excellent concealment.

Including parasites mixed into body cavities,

and an Eyeball lifeform,

all possessing far superior concealment than the most prevalent Spinal Body."

"Indeed, our hypothesis was correct!"

Hearing this, Han Dong was suddenly startled.

This almost confirms,

the mysterious intruder aiming to usurp M.O.’s sovereignty possesses a "biological modification" technology that defies natural laws and impacts World Rules, possibly even his inherent ability.

If not for the potential risk of being killed, Han Dong might have wanted to meet this person.

"How is the capital’s situation?"

"Currently, Zurbaha’s condition is normal...

My King has also deployed a large number of Corpse Eating Forbidden Guards from the Skeleton Storage Place, and even extremely terrifying ’Fasting Cultists’ have been dispatched for a full-scale search and city defense.

An hour ago, Zurbaha implemented external closure, allowing exits but no entries."

"Has most of the Skeleton Storage Place’s guard units been dispatched? Something doesn’t feel right..."

Since the situation has become relatively grave.

Han Dong decided to visit the Great Tomb Area straight away, seeking an audience with M.O. through the Stone Door.

If they refuse to meet or pose various challenging demands, Han Dong would immediately leave.

"Sally, let’s go meet M.O.."

Han Dong maintained the state of opening the Demon Eye, staying cautious along the way for any possible situations, and just as they were about to arrive at the Great Tomb Area.

The Demon Eye suddenly captured a familiar face unexpectedly.

At the moment of seeing this person,

lines of starlight emerged on the body surface, Void Secret Art!

Han Dong put his hand on Sally’s shoulder, transmitting them to a nearby underground tomb.

"Is there an enemy?" Sally didn’t know what had happened, considering a possible enemy attack, with part of her body already shifting towards the Black Goat.

"Don’t be nervous... it’s just a familiar face.

Eugenes is actually here, and aligned with our objective, he’s heading towards the Great Tomb Area."

Sally quickly responded:

"Eugenes? Tsk... that’s not surprising.

After all, he practices the ’Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult’, and the previous practitioner was M.O.."

"No, there’s something strange; Eugenes doesn’t seem right.

Logically, if Eugenes just arrived here, he should clearly understand that the Zothique Continent is under severe invasion, and he himself should be highly alert.

His eye is on par with mine, and he’s already reached Mythic Body.

If my Demon Eye captured him just now, he should’ve noticed us.

Yet he didn’t, and Eugenes’s overall expression appeared stiff, as if hiding severe concerns."

For some unknown reason.

In the midst of it all, Han Dong felt a very ominous premonition.

"The events unfolding on the Zothique Continent have long been orchestrated..."

Han Dong immediately summoned Basel Conch Bone, to let him check if Eugenes’s request for an audience with M.O. was responded to in the Great Tomb Area.

Unexpectedly, Basel quickly returned, panting heavily while saying:

"That green-haired young man passed directly without any examination, just stepped onto the ’Final Staircase’, intending to meet M.O.... by the way! It seems M.O.’s distinguished guest is also a young man, could they be the same person?

Yesterday’s meeting had just ended, why are they meeting again today?"

"Is Eugenes the so-called distinguished guest?

Let’s follow and take a look..."

Han Dong faintly sensed a massive conspiracy afoot,

driven by curiosity and madness,

Han Dong returned once more to the Great Tomb Area, intending to use special means to step onto the final staircase leading to the "Skeleton Storage Place".
