Night of Despair-Chapter 429: Concentration 427 3

"What’s wrong?" Yu Hen asked curiously.

"Nothing... It’s just that I suddenly thought, at the early stages of Black Disaster infection, it seems possible for a person to still have rationality... I’ve encountered such a rare case, and with the large number of Black Disaster infections, it’s understandable that there would be multiple similar instances," Yu Hong replied softly.

"Now that the domestic situation is settled, next, we’ll spread to other countries while also needing to investigate the causes of the rising Red Value," he tapped his finger lightly.

"People have already been arranged to investigate, but for the time being, there are no clues. The concentration of Red Value seems to be quite evenly dispersed in the air, and it doesn’t appear to be a recent occurrence," Yu Mo said.

"What about the related professionals? With the Black Disaster infection, there must be people who have come into contact, right?" Yu Hong asked.

"There are some, I’ll arrange it right away. Actually, we’ve already made contact with a group of people, but most of them were fraudsters," Yu Mo sighed.

He looked at Yu Hong, who was now sitting in the president’s chair, with a faintly visible shimmering blue sun behind him.

Now, he had become many times stronger than when he first started.

Just standing beside him, one could feel an immensely heavy and oppressive Spirit Light.

"Previously, the Church and the Presidential Office hoped to jointly establish an organization called the Spirit Exploring Association, which included all sorts of people with spiritual perceptions."

"Spiritually perceptive people? Are they the ones who sniped at me on the road before?" Yu Hong recalled that those people had been detained for many days, and he wondered what their situation was now.

"Yes. They possess a variety of quirky abilities, and they don’t repeat. There’s some research value in them," Yu Mo nodded.

"The main thing is to find the source of the Red Value increase. We can talk about the rest later, let’s focus our energy on solving one problem first," Yu Hong said.

"Understood!"

The projected image abruptly stopped, and then with a snap, went dark.

Bai Luote.

Blood Energy Group Underground Research Institute.

Hiss!

The subtle sound of blood flowing speeded up.

Accompanied by another corpse falling to the ground, blood flowed out, quickly transforming into threads and reweaving into an ancient dark red archway.

The door slowly began to open a crack, from which light red blood water flowed out.

’Wade’ with more than a dozen expressionless institute guards, walked slowly through the institute’s main hall.

The hall was filled with corpses, with blood and flesh scattered everywhere. Bullet holes and black remnants of explosions were also on the walls.

The group quickly arrived at the core secret refrigerated warehouse of the institute.

In front of the heavy silver door, Wade merely pressed it lightly with his right hand.

The frame around the metal door shook violently.

Then, the door tilted inward and became loose.

Boom!

The door fell inward.

In front of Wade, this door, weighing over a hundred tons, only lasted ten seconds.

"Let’s go," Wade led the way forward, into the warehouse.

At the innermost part, he stopped in front of a crystal red container, taller than a person.

"We found it... high-concentration of the previous generation’s Perfect Blood..." Wade reached out, gently caressing the surface of the crystal container, his face showing a look of intoxication.

Thud!

The next second, he smashed the container with a punch, revealing the blood column frozen inside as an ice block.

"We can begin now," Wade stepped back, spreading his arms, while the Revived following him dispersed around the blood column, quickly starting to seal with their hands and chanting under their breath.

As they chanted, a pitch-black door began to faintly emerge within the blood column, decorated with fierce monster faces and numerous elaborate floral patterns.

Click.

The door slowly cracked open.

In an instant, a large amount of Red Value Radiation, along with thick black mist, gushed out from the gap in the door.

"Fura’er!"

"Fura’er!"

"Fura’er!!"

A group of the Revived began to call out loudly.

Wade stood alone with his arms open, flames the color of blood ignited silently on his arms.

With the ignition of the blood-colored flames, the black mist seeping from the Black Door quickened.

Click.

The door was gently pushed wider open by a force.

Following that, a sinister black-armored spiked arm with wings at the elbow, slowly extended out.

Just a stretch, and the surrounding Red Value seemed to go mad, skyrocketing rapidly.

Hisss, hisss!

At the same time, from other gaps in the Black Door, streaks of Black Light shot out.

These Black Lights landed and turned into long-haired women in black dresses.

They floated in the warehouse as if weightless.

If Yu Hong were here, he could recognize at a glance that these were the Black Withered Women from the Black Disaster, one of the top contenders at War Level.

As more Black Withered Women emerged from the Black Door like a fountain with no end, they quickly left the warehouse, punching through the soil to reach the surface. As the black mist spread, they started to move rapidly towards the most populated areas.

Meanwhile, back at the door that had first opened, just as the winged black armored arm continued to extend out—

Suddenly, an old and pale human arm reached out from inside the door, grabbing the winged black armored arm.

With a deep and strange laugh, the aged hand lightly squeezed and promptly burst the black armored arm on the spot.

Immediately afterward, it withdrew back through the door.

Everything quieted down.

Wade and the others outside also gradually ceased their actions, somewhat at a loss.

"Here... it’s actually here..."

Plop!

Suddenly, from the crevice of the black door, the ghastly pale face of an old crone bulged out.

The face wore a sinister smile, forcefully squeezing the black door to creak and crack, almost close to breaking apart.

Had Yu Hong been there, he would have recognized that the face of the crone was that of the top Black Disaster Monster he encountered after battling the triple-headed goddess statue.

At this moment, she was trying to force the black door open, but it seemed there was still something lacking for her to fully enter, and this small door was simply not capable of withstanding entry at her level.

As the face continued to press, the black door was also being slowly and forcefully pried open by a tremendous force.

Crack.

In the sky outside, dark clouds began to gather, a violent wind arose, and copious amounts of grey-black mist rose and spread, gradually enveloping an area spanning several kilometers.

October 19th.

The Fista Strengthening Needle policy unfolded, and those injected showed extremely noticeable disease recovery effects, which sparked a widespread outbreak of user-generated videos on the internet.

The existence of Qingjing Tian Company and the Spirit Alliance was quickly dug up by netizens as well.

For a time, the Strengthening Needle phenomenon swept across the region, and the influence of the Spirit Light finally began to spread spontaneously on a preliminary level.

Meanwhile, Yu Hong was about to complete the final stages of his Capturing God Skill cultivation.

Inside the Ares Palace, in a quiet conference room.

Yu Hong stood silently in front of the window, looking at the gardeners working on the lawn and flower beds outside.

His eyes were slightly narrowed, and inside his pupils, a circle of red light continuously spread outward.

However, this red light was suppressed by the Spirit Light, resulting in no one outside noticing it.

Time trickled by slowly.

Soon, more than ten minutes had passed.

Yu Hong suddenly shook all over, his eyes flaring open wide. Complicated dark red patterns appeared across the entirety of his eyes.

A few seconds later.

Finally, a hint of feedback from the Black Mark flowed into his mind.

’Capturing God Skill cultivation has reached its peak, trait evolution occurs: Eagle Eye — Twisted Eye.’

’Twisted Eye: You can twist the minds of others with your gaze, if you wish, under your scrutiny, your eyes will launch continuous mental distortion damage. This damage is ineffective against those with mental strength more than three times your own.’

"Uh!? That’s quite a leap, isn’t it?" Yu Hong touched his eyelids, feeling his eyes hot as if they had been heated for a long time.

He closed his eyes and opened them again.

He looked ahead and found that within his field of vision, all living things gave him a sensation as if within arm’s reach, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

’A pure mental-eye technique, then? Indeed, it is a power against the Black Disaster; it might be worth strengthening further.’

The subsequent enhancement finally developed a trait capable of countering the Black Disaster, which eased Yu Hong’s mood somewhat.

These past few days, he had been having the Black Mark enhance various detectors, for the Spirit Disaster, the Black Disaster, and even the Light Disaster, making many simple versions of them.

He had not undergone long-term enhancement waiting for the emergence of the trait from Capturing God Skill.

Now, the trait had finally emerged.

Next...

Beep...

Suddenly, the urgent ringing of his phone sounded from his person.

Pulling out his phone and hitting the answer button, Yu Hong saw that the caller ID showed it was Master Yu Mo.

"Master, weren’t you following the Black Light to investigate the source of the Red Value Radiation? Any clues?"

"Yes, our combined team of experts has calculated and found the trajectory of Red Value Radiation dispersal. Through multiple checks, we confirmed that the source of the Red Value dispersion is not within Fista!" Yu Mo said solemnly.

"As expected, where exactly?" Yu Hong’s expression turned serious as he quickly asked.

If they could suppress the onset of the Black Disaster in advance, that would mean they could live securely in this world for quite some time.

Time was extremely important to him; just a few years would be enough for him to grow to heights even he couldn’t imagine.

"In Bai Luote. Black Light has already dispatched a squad to investigate there, and I believe news will be relayed back soon," Yu Mo answered.

"Thank you for your efforts. Keep track of the surrounding Red Value at all times. The density of Red Value Radiation is also dynamic. Also, be wary of any fog," Yu Hong said.

"Don’t worry, everyone is dispersed investigating. The outbreak of the Black Disaster is also gradual; it can’t reach extreme intensity from the get-go, so we have plenty of time," Yu Mo reassured.

"I just, don’t want to roam anymore," Yu Hong sighed.

Silence fell on the other end.

After hanging up, Yu Hong took out the Secret Book of Capturing God Skill he carried with him. The Cultivation Technique had reached Perfection, and he needed to progress to the next stage of enhancement.

’But before that, let’s first test the effects of this Twisted Eye.’

Leaving the room, he went out to the lawn, where a team of guards was patrolling the area with walkie-talkies and earpieces, vigilantly surveying their surroundings.

Upon seeing Yu Hong, they trembled and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.

After the news spread that Yu Hong, the Spirit Alliance Leader, had reached an agreement with the presidential cabinet, many understood that the Spirit Alliance might be an organization that could have equal dialogue and exchange with the presidential cabinet.

Therefore, they treated Yu Hong with almost the same deference as they did the president.

Yu Hong stopped, watching them stand erect and pass by his side.

"Wait," he spoke.

"At your command, sir!" The leading guard immediately stood at attention, turned around, and loudly said.

"Bring me a sheep. A live one," Yu Hong said.

"??? A sheep?" The guard captain looked utterly baffled.
