1509 Uncontrollable

The tendrils wriggled out from under his skin and quickly wrapped around his finger.

Under Fang Heng’s control, the corrupted state quickly faded away, and he completely restored his original state.

The whole process took less than two seconds, and Fang Heng had already retracted his hand.

However, that scene shocked Yu Jiayuan, and she almost stood up. Her gaze was fixed on Fang Heng’s finger.

What the hell was that mode that allowed him to control the corrupted state at will?

The corrupted state could actually regress?

It was simply unheard of!

Yu Jiayuan was too nervous. She held the coffee with both hands and took a sip carefully to calm herself down.

“How did you do it?”

“What?”

“Stop pretending. Exiting the corrupted state.”

Fang Heng looked around and took a sip of coffee, “I don’t know either.”

“What do you mean?”

“I came into contact with the pollution and became like this after being corrupted. I also discovered something in my sea of consciousness, so I’m also looking for the answer now.”

Fang Heng looked at Yu Jiayuan.

“We can work together and help each other. We can think of a way to solve our problems together.”

Yu Jiayuan looked at Fang Heng.

She was bewildered.

From the other party’s words, was he here to gain something with nothing?

However, Fang Heng’s corrupted state was too strange!

For a moment, Yu Jiayuan couldn’t figure out which of Fang Heng’s words was true or false.

However, she had no other choice now.

She would take a gamble!

With everything she had!

“Alright, what do you want to know?”

“Starting from the very beginning. What is pollution?”

“Do you want me to die quickly?”

Yu Jiayuan was a little agitated. She stared at Fang Heng, “Stop talking about the pollution. It will only accelerate my corrupt!”

Fang Heng frowned and closed his eyes to perceive.

The strange fog in his sea of consciousness seemed to have spread further.

Once the discussion about pollution was involved, that part of the fog would spread faster.

“Alright, I want to know how to solve the pollution problem completely.”

Yu Jiayuan put down her coffee and looked at Fang Heng, “Kill your pollution source.”

Corrupt was a slow and continuous state.

It began from being polluted, then to the beginning of corrupt, to being partially corrupted, and until being completely devoured by the pollution, turning into a monster!

Before they completely became the Fallen Ones, they still had a chance to turn back.

Kill the pollution source!

That was the most effective method that had been proven countless times.

However, the strange thing was that Yu Jiayuan could not understand Fang Heng’s current state at all.

Fang Heng was obviously in a polluted state but was not controlled by that strength to become a Fallen One. Moreover, he could still control his corrupted state.

It was too strange!

He seemed more like a reformist.

However, he also expressed that he did not understand pollution at all.

Fang Heng also fell into deep thought.

When did he start being polluted?

That night? After the big tree under the villa exploded?

What was the pollution source?

“Alright, I understand. The first step is to find the pollution source. The second step is to eliminate the pollution source completely.”

“It’s not that simple.”

Yu Jiayuan clenched her fists.

Killing the pollution source sounded simple, but in reality, there were many troubles. The pollution source was divided into initial pollution sources and a large number of intermediate pollution sources. Sometimes, some people were polluted because they broke a taboo, and they could not even figure out what the pollution source was.

“Why?”

Fang Heng had just opened his mouth to ask when his eyelids suddenly twitched.

The game hint gradually appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has completed the quest – The Beginning of Chaos.]

[Hint: Since the player’s mission completion rate is higher than 1000 points, the player has obtained 100 points of the Fallen Ones’ faction reputation. The player has triggered the next phase of the mission – The Assembly in The Shadow.]

Mission Name: The Assembly in The Shadow

Mission Description: Please find the gathering point of the Fallen Ones in the District Ado Tutelan to complete the assembly.

Mission Requirements: Avoid the Occult’s pursuit and follow the Fallen Ones’ summoning to the gathering point to complete the assembly (Remaining mission time: 3 hours and 23 minutes).

Failure Penalty: 2 points deduction of a random basic attribute.

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

Faction quest!

At the same time, Yu Jiayuan also received the mission hint. She kept quiet and carefully read the mission description.

The two of them raised their heads, and their gazes met midair.

“Have you also received a mission? To assemble?”

“Yes.”

The description of the mission was a little different, but the goal of the mission was the same, which was to assemble.

“Do you know the location of the mission?” Fang Heng asked.

Yu Jiayuan frowned slightly and looked at Fang Heng, feeling even stranger, “You didn’t perceive it?”

Fang Heng tried to perceive it again and shook his head blankly.

Not at all.

Even though the mission had hinted to him to follow the summoning to the gathering point, he could not perceive anything.

“We’ll talk on the way. I’ll take you to complete the mission first.”

“OK, alright.”

They left the cafe, and Yu Jiayuan immediately drove toward the city.

…

On the street in the ‘Nightless City’ west of District Ado Tutelan.

In the past, the nights there were very noisy.

Due to the chaos during the day, it was very quiet tonight.

In a basement bar deep in the alley.

Yu Jiayuan brought Fang Heng to the entrance of a bar.

There was a sign on the door saying that it was closed.

“Stop right there.”

Just as they were about to push the door open, a middle-aged man’s voice rang out beside them.

Looking over, there was a table at the entrance of a small shop next to the bar. A Baldy was sitting at the table playing with his phone.

The Baldy looked fierce and glared at the two of them, “Don’t you see the words written on it? There was an attack today, and the bar is closed. Get lost!”

Yu Jiayuan walked to the table and whispered, “We are summoned here.”

The Baldy retracted the fierceness on his face, “I don’t understand what summoning you’re talking about. Why don’t you show me?”

Yu Jiayuan reached out and pulled open her collar, revealing her shoulders.

Beneath her clothes, the tendrils on her shoulders were squirming strangely, and a layer of corrupt covered them.

The Baldy then looked at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng also stepped forward and stretched out his hand, revealing the tendrils under his sleeves.

“Alright, go in. It seems that there are many newcomers today.”

The Baldy nodded, indicating that the two of them could enter.

Fang Heng followed Yu Jiayuan into the bar.

About twenty people were standing in the bar’s hall.

[Hint: The player completed the current mission – The Assembly in The Shadow]

Fang Heng looked around and observed everyone in the hall.

Most of them were like Yu Jiayuan, wearing a lot of clothes and covering themselves well.

Upon closer inspection, a small portion of them had signs of being corrupted.

“These people are all…”

“Shh, keep your voice down. They’re the same as us. They were summoned here. It seems they’ve also been polluted and have already shown signs of being corrupted or even become the Fallen Ones.”
