Chapter 1552 - 1552 Neighboring Country
1552 Neighboring Country
“Put on a disguise. I’ll take you to the neighboring country immediately. There are new clothes and a new identification card under everyone’s seat. I’ve already asked my friends to help me settle the border. They won’t check it carefully, but you still have to change your clothes and remember your names in case of emergencies.”
“If I leave for too long, I will attract the attention of the Occult Committee. We will separate when we reach the border of the neighboring country. I will return immediately and pass on the information about the slums to you at any time. As for your friend who will follow me, he will arrange for you to enter the neighboring Brickruder District.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Fang Heng nodded in thanks.
As for after entering the neighboring country, Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu would take care of the rest.
They also had a Fallen Ones faction there. They would find a safe place to settle down and quietly wait until tomorrow night before leaving Watts.
Fang Heng was a little tired from the continuous battle. He roughly estimated the follow-up arrangements and closed his eyes in the backseat.
After the previous battle, the pollution in his sea of consciousness increased again.
There were 271 days left before it was completely contaminated.
There was enough time.
It was enough for him to think of a solution.
Of course, there was still Viona.
That woman.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t defend against her and was tricked by her.
However…
This matter would not end so easily.
…
In the periphery of the slums, more and more people gathered.
Apart from the members of the Occult Investigation Committee from various countries, there was also a portion of the members of the Revolution Society.
Many of the higher-ups were gathered in the temporary command room tent.
Shan Fucai was waiting not far away from the tent. He stubbed out a cigarette impatiently, his thoughts in a mess.
Sheng Tao had not appeared since he entered the octagonal seal.
Was he missing?
The Revolution Society had a huge reaction.
He had a premonition that something must have happened in the slums.
Could it be that Sheng Tao couldn’t even deal with Fang Heng?
“How is it?”
Shan Fucai turned his head and looked at Ruan Ziying who was walking towards him. He asked, “You went out just now?”
“Yes, I have something to settle.”
“Previously, there were reports that the inside of the sealed-off area was attacked by the Fallen Ones. Some unknown people were also discovered.”
“No, they are probably just Fallen Ones who came from the outside to support us.”
After Ruan Ziying brought Fang Heng to the border and handed him over to the commission, she immediately rushed back to keep an eye on this place. She pretended to be calm and looked inside the sealed area, asking, “Is the situation inside okay?”
“The people from the Revolution Society are here. They have just organized a group of people to enter the sealed area to investigate. It seems that they have encountered a very troublesome matter.”
…
At night, in the Brickruder District, Fang Heng sat in a cafe on the corner of the street and poured himself a small cup of coffee, thinking about everything that had happened since he entered the game world of Watts.
In the afternoon, he had completely changed into a new identity.
The other believers of the Holy Court were also temporarily placed in a high-class hotel by Luo Xu.
The sealed Sheng Tao was taken by Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu to a hidden private villa to hide, and Sun Zhaoyu brought a few of his subordinates to guard him 24 hours a day.
It seemed that the matter had come to an end, but Fang Heng admitted that his understanding of this world was still insufficient.
Taking advantage of this period of rest, he needed to think of a way to understand more.
Fang Heng raised his head.
Yu Jiayuan walked into the coffee shop. She wore a mask and a hat on her head, looking fully armed.
After seeing Fang Heng, Yu Jiayuan quickly walked over and sat opposite him.
She looked at Fang Heng uneasily and said, “Fang Heng, I didn’t expect you…”
“Shh.”
Fang Heng made a gesture to whisper, “Don’t mention that word in front of outsiders. I will help you think of a way to deal with the pollution on your body.”
Yu Jiayuan took a deep breath and said, “Okay, thank you.”
Of course, she knew what Fang Heng meant.
The demonic seed!
Yu Jiayuan had never expected that the rumored demonic seed that the Revolution Society had been searching for would actually be by her side!
Fang Heng continued, “Similarly, in exchange, I need your help.”
Ever since he was tricked, Fang Heng had become more careful.
Especially when it involved Viona, the runes, and rituals on his body.
He wasn’t 100% sure about what Luo Xu had said about the demonic seed, so he wanted to try and get some confirmation from Yu Jiayuan.
“As long as you can help me get rid of the pollution, I’ll do anything.”
“Tell me what you know first. Let’s start with the few forces in this world.”
Ever since he had joined Watts, he had been confused by the appearance of the Occult Research Society, the Fallen Ones legion, the Revolution Society, and the Conservatives.
It was too chaotic.
He needed time to sort it out.
“Yes.”
Hearing Fang Heng’s question, Yu Jiayuan muttered to herself.
She had already been contaminated for the second time. This time, she had decided to put all her eggs in one basket and pin all her hopes of removing the contamination on Fang Heng.
Even if telling Fang Heng these things would trigger taboos and aggravate pollution, she decided to do so.
“Alright, let’s start with the factions you mentioned just now.”
Fang Heng straightened his body and became more serious as he answered, “Yes.”
“From the information released by the government to the Occult Research Society and the views of most mainstream academics, most people believe that the first person to discover the existence of the contamination was an archmage named Anthony. After he was mentally contaminated, he founded a school of thought that focused on the worship of the abyss.”
“This sect can communicate with hell and obtain the power of hell”
“However, there is a price to pay for using this power. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, Anthony set a series of taboos. Those who violate the taboos will be contaminated and will be hunted down by the school Anthony founded.”
“These are the mainstream views of occultism scholars. There are some things that don’t make sense, and I don’t know if they’re true or not.”
Fang Heng nodded and said, “Alright, continue.”
“The current situation is that as time passes, the faction that Anthony founded gradually evolved into two types. The first type is the Conservatives faction. This faction rarely appears in front of outsiders. They have always maintained their tradition and will secretly hunt down those who violate the taboo.”
“The second type is the reformists, which is the Revolution Society that was hunting you down previously.”
At the mention of the reformists, Yu Jiayuan looked at Fang Heng carefully.
“It’s a group of people who split off from the abyss worship school that Anthony left behind. They completely ignored the rules and taboos that Anthony left behind. They used the power to communicate with hell without restraint and cooperated with demons and evil spirits. Their strength has increased explosively in recent years.”
