Chapter 1650: Chapter 1648 Gray Area

When the two returned to the entrance of the mysterious alley.

The strange atmosphere originally emanating from here was noticeably reduced, only a few thread-like lines floated within the alley, without overflowing onto the street.

’Could it be that we were deliberately lured... did someone inside notice my or Pope’s uniqueness?’

Han Dong and Pope exchanged a glance and walked into the alley side by side.

As they stepped into the alley, the street’s noise instantly diminished by more than half, as if a membrane was isolating here from the outside street.

The feeling of separation grew stronger with each step deeper.

When they reached a certain depth, the external static noise completely vanished, replaced by an unusual silence.

At the same time, a metal door continuously emitting a dark grey aura appeared at the end of the alley.

An uncommon mark was engraved on the door - "A head without facial features, tentacles growing from the lower neck."

"Something’s coming."

When Han Dong sensed something.

A terrifying form seeped out from the side wall, its face covered in tentacles resembling maggots, eyes growing between the gaps.

A soft, clustered body almost filled the alley.

Flat palms housed multiple spiral sound cavities; through coordinating different sound holes, it formed a unique pitch range, echoing within the alley.

"Have you two collaborated with us before?

If not, further verification is needed... Detecting the spread of grey mist only indicates good insight, but using our services requires a strength verification."

Pope was about to step forward.

But Han Dong suddenly blocked him, whispering, "Let me do it..."

Pope noticed the hidden meaning in these words and, considering Han Dong’s special traits, willingly stepped back.

"How do we verify?"

"As long as you can force me back and any part of your body touches the iron door leading to the ’Organization’, the verification is considered successful."

Han Dong thoughtfully nodded, "Oh, it sounds rather easy... However, you seem quite strong too."

Droplets of saliva seeped from the tentacle-covered face of the other party, "I haven’t consumed high-quality life forms for a long time; you emit a special scent... Let’s start the assessment then."

The monster charged directly from the front.

As he moved, countless tentacles sprouted from the alley walls, crawling back and forth like maggots... A domain effect was forming, as these maggots would also adhere to Han Dong’s body.

However,

Han Dong remained motionless, letting the other charge head-on.

Slam!

The Crow Mask suddenly fell, revealing Han Dong’s face, along with a bald head without any related features.

Grey tentacles growing from the back of his head formed a strange symbol in the air, and even an unusual mark appeared on his forehead.

In an instant.

The monster charging at Han Dong instantly restrained his aggression,

The previously swollen body that filled the passage shrunk to the size of a dwarf... only the tentacle-covered head remained unchanged.

The aggressive posture from a second ago immediately changed to an extremely pious kneeling mode.

"You are indeed... The Grey Emissary!

I knew there was a strong but out-of-sorts aura, so it was really you!

Sire, why have you come to Arkham? Is there anything we can assist you with?"

Sure enough.

Han Dong initially found it strange that the other party deliberately released an aura to attract attention... it was due to homology sensing.

The organization and demons hidden in the alley both belonged to the ’Gray Walker’.

By chance, Han Dong was awarded the title of "Grey Emissary" due to his outstanding performance in the London game, a title once bestowed is branded into the hearts of any demons related to the Walker.

"We want to investigate information on a ’special individual’, due to their uniqueness and secrecy, related data is scarce, almost nonexistent."

"Emissary Sire, our organization happens to enjoy collecting such ’unique’, ’niche’ rare information, perhaps you can find the answer here.

Please come in; we will do our utmost to serve you.

The Grey Area welcomes the Emissary Sire.

My name is Masalino Group Maggot, you can call me Maggot... I particularly favor these tiny crawling creatures."

"Alright, take us inside and introduce your organization along the way."

"Certainly! Follow me.

We originated from the Grey Realm of Sharnoth, established by My King with the highest-grade matter combination.

Initially, it was quite challenging for us in this realm,

until we established the Grey Area in Arkham,

which allows us to experience the pleasure of ’peeking’,

brings us considerable benefits,

and becomes an important ’Eye’ for My King within Arkham.

The Grey Area we’ve built is fundamentally different from those outside information intelligence stations.

Whether information or clients, we set higher standards.

We employ our special traits at all costs to gather various high-level intelligence that meets our standards,

fostering a unique membership system, dedicated only to trustworthy demons.

Over time, we’ve cultivated many quality clients.

Within the Grey Area, there are only two identities: ’Client’ and ’Doer’.

Since the Emissary Sire seeks intelligence, you are arriving here as a Client, and we are even willing to be your Doer free of charge."

"That’s unnecessary... Our target is extremely troublesome, let’s first see if you have any relevant information here."

Next, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

Han Dong initially thought the organization’s location was inside the metal door... unexpectedly, the ’Maggot’ at the front opened the metal door, revealing only a dead end behind.

The opening of the metal door seemed more like triggering some kind of switch.

A mass of grey gas overflowed within the alley, some kind of ’disguise’ began to slowly unravel.

Han Dong remarked in surprise: "Oh! I see... truly ingenious means, didn’t expect the entire alley to be your setup disguise,

once we stepped into the alley, we had already entered the Grey Area?"

Gradually,

The alley transformed into a simplistic grey space.

Seats of regular geometry positioned within the hall, various grey entities with ’chaotic’ faces scattered here,

Whether seated, standing, or crawling on the walls, they all cast a reverent gaze at Han Dong.

"Rest assured, Emissary, we prioritize client privacy at the highest level within the information port, let alone your commission... May I ask whose information you seek?

Even if the name is unknown, describing related features is workable."

"The name, characteristics, and type are clear... you’ve probably heard of it too."

Out of caution, Han Dong wasn’t direct but handed over a paper with the name to Maggot.

Upon seeing the name above, the maggot tentacles across the face frantically trembled, even detached and fell to the ground.

"Emissary, you’re pursuing such a dangerous existence?"

"Yes, is there any intelligence on it?"

"...Just a moment, such existence touching the ’King’, related information is stored in the deepest recess, I need to submit a request to retrieve it.

Recently there happens to be some special intelligence about it."

"Oh? You do have some?"
