1508 Misleading

One of the maintenance staff seemed to have heard something behind him and turned his head.

He saw a shadow approaching them quickly from the corner of his eye.

“Who’s that?”

A figure flashed past the flashlight.

“Pa! Pa!”

After two consecutive heavy collisions, the two of them blacked out at the same time and fell heavily to the ground.

The corrupted flesh on Fang Heng’s face gradually faded.

He first looked around and squatted to check on the two fainted people.

Those two were probably just normal people who were checking the sewer.

There was no threat.

After some thought, Fang Heng changed into the sewer mechanic’s uniform and badge. He walked around the sewer for a while and left through another sewer exit that was further away.

He climbed up the ladder to the ground.

The crisis outside seemed to have dissipated.

At that moment, many uniformed investigators were gathered at the venue.

He could contact Ruan Ziying through them.

Fang Heng thought for a moment.

He was still in a polluted state.

It was too risky to contact the investigators rashly. It was very likely that he would be considered a Polluted and then be imprisoned.

It was inappropriate.

He couldn’t waste time.

Ruan Ziying had a close relationship with the investigators, so she might be unable to protect him now.

He would investigate first.

Fang Heng lowered his hat and tried to leave the exhibition hall as he thought about it.

At that time, the exhibition hall’s reconstruction and rescue work and investigations were in full swing.

The police officers never expected someone to hide in the exhibition hall and even leave openly.

Fang Heng walked past a few police officers. The police officers’ eyes only lingered on Fang Heng for a moment before they quickly swept past him.

After leaving the exhibition hall, Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.

First, he had to look for the forum Big Brother.

…

Fang Heng didn’t know that he and Ruan Ziying had just missed each other.

Ruan Ziying and Shan Fucai had just arrived at the Botanic Garden half an hour ago and were investigating the scene.

In the Botanic Garden area, only a huge hole was left in the exhibition hall’s center.

It was a large pit left behind by the SS-level ancient tree, the Phoenix Firs.

Was the entire tree stolen?

Ruan Ziying stood in front of the pit and observed silently.

She felt that something was amiss.

Last night, Fang Heng mentioned he was looking for a higher-than-SS-level plant.

When Fang Heng mentioned it, Ruan Ziying did not think of the Phoenix Firs.

Now that she thought about it…

In the entire District Ado Tutelan, only the exhibition hall seemed to have the SS-level Phoenix Firs.

Could it be Fang Heng?

It was impossible.

Ruan Ziying shook her head and threw that unrealistic idea away.

Coincidence. It was just a coincidence.

Players from the low-tier game world wouldn’t invade the high-tier game world.

Shan Fucai walked to Ruan Ziying’s side. Seeing her thoughtful look, he couldn’t help but ask, “How is it? What do you think?”

“Well, I think it might have something to do with the tree we found in Edoma Cervantes’ house last night.”

“Indeed, I have the same feeling. The other colleagues in the department are already investigating Edoma’s situation.”

Unknowingly, Fang Heng led Shan Fucai and the other investigators astray.

Combined with the testimony of the people at the scene and the pollution reaction detected at the scene, it could be confirmed that the plundering of the Phoenix Firs was closely related to the attack on the city.

Ruan Ziying asked, “Is it the reformists? Or is it the actions of the Fallen Ones?”

“We can’t be sure yet, but it’s most likely a controlled Fallen Ones. Also, I’ve just checked some damage reports. Some important files in the bureau have been lost and destroyed, and various prisons that hold dangerous individuals have also been attacked. We’ve already located a few pollution sources and are ready to clean them up. The reinforcements from outside have also arrived. We’ll be swamped for the next two days.”

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

With that wave of crisis, the losses in District Ado Tutelan seemed hefty.

But in fact, the crisis lurking in the city for many years had all surfaced at that moment.

Next was the time to settle scores.

Once the strength in the shadows was exposed to the world, they would definitely be attacked.

There was the Occult Society, the conservatives, and even the reformists who would take action.

The officials would not allow those monsters to destroy the world’s peace wantonly.

But in the end, Shan Fucai couldn’t help but ask why?

Why would the enemy do that?

What was the use of the Phoenix Firs? Was it worth it?

Ruan Ziying was more worried about Fang Heng’s situation and couldn’t help but ask, “Have you found Fang Heng yet?”

Shan Fucai shook his head.

“It is most likely bad news.”

Needless to say, Shan Fucai felt that Fang Heng was most likely polluted and had turned into a monster in the tragedy, which was then cleaned up by the Corruption Arbitrator Council.

It was over.

There was no hope for her KPI.

Ruan Ziying felt bitter in her heart. Holding on to her last hope, she begged, “Help me check again. He’s very important.”

…

Shang Island Cafe.

Near the window sat a fashionably dressed young woman. She had a well-proportioned figure and wore high hiking boots. Occasionally, she looked out of the window and looked a little uneasy.

Due to the previous chaos, most of the restaurants in the city had closed. Only a small number of shops in the suburbs were not affected.

Outside the window, a young man hurried over.

Yu Jiayuan noticed Fang Heng immediately.

She watched as Fang Heng entered the cafe and sat opposite her.

Yu Jiayuan sized up Fang Heng from head to toe, her eyes filled with vigilance.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was at the end of her rope, she wouldn’t have come to meet someone she didn’t know so easily.

“Hello, I’m Fang Heng. I’ve contacted you on the forum before.”

Fang Heng…

Yu Jiayuan whispered the name in her heart.

She did not know Fang Heng, but when she heard the name Fang Heng, she felt that it sounded a little familiar.

Ever since her spirit had been polluted, she had put all her energy into dealing with the pollution. She had no time to care about what was happening in the low-tier game world.

Fang Heng was also observing Yu Jiayuan.

The weather was a little stuffy, but Yu Jiayuan wrapped herself up tightly.

“How should I address you?”

“Yu Jiayuan.”

Yu Jiayuan quickly turned her attention back to Fang Heng. Her eyes were still full of vigilance, “You’ve been polluted too? What is your pollution level? What is your degree of corrupt? Have you confirmed the pollution source?”

Fang Heng frowned.

A few questions immediately confused him.

“I just came into contact with pollution and corrupt not long ago, so I don’t know much about them.”

Yu Jiayuan stared at Fang Heng and said in a low voice, “Prove it. Prove that you have also been polluted.”

Fang Heng leaned forward slightly and slowly stretched out his hand.

“Chi chi…”

Yu Jiayuan’s eyes were filled with surprise.

She was surprised to find that Fang Heng’s hand was in a strange state of corrupt.
