I changed the world.

Right beside him, a ghostly messenger bound the last of the nine small monsters with chains. The monster was firmly bound by the chains, and then the chains tightened inwards...

The little monster was instantly strangled and burst, then turned into countless specks of dust...

At this moment, in the stratosphere about 20 kilometers above Jin'an City, an unmanned airship with a huge elliptical volume and a large white skin was quietly floating there.

This unmanned airship, filled with helium, can theoretically hover in the stratosphere for more than ten years. At this moment, a detection device on the airship is operating and sending data in real time to the data analysis center in Gangneung.

承和三十七年 2016年4月7日01:10 建安省晋安市调查局大楼

Because of the relatively sensitive nature of its operations, the Jin'an City Special Crime Investigation Bureau building is not located in a bustling area of ​​the city, but rather in the northwest of the city, near the suburbs. It is a 10-story building that is not very tall, but it occupies a fairly large area. Inside, there is a shooting range and a special forces training camp. There is also a helipad at the back of the building, which can accommodate helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft.

At this very moment, in a room on the 9th floor of the building, a staff member on duty is getting up out of boredom, preparing to make a cup of coffee from the coffee machine next to him.

As a staff member of the newly established Fourth Division, Wu Zhong's job was envied by many of his colleagues in the same Investigation Bureau system. After all, although they did not know exactly what they did, it was reasonable to assume that this highly classified department, which was said to be about to be separated from the bureau, would inevitably see a wave of promotions.

Volume Two: The Truth Hidden Behind History Books: Chapter 777 Contingency Plan

However, Wu Zhong always scoffed at such views. Due to the level of secrecy, the people in the Fourth Division were under independent management. Therefore, those people only saw the joy of promotion and salary increases, but did not realize that the Fourth Division was currently the department with the highest casualty rate in the entire Imperial Intelligence System.

Even within Jin'an City, the case of one death and one serious injury that occurred last month happened during a field operation by the Fourth Division. Although he was technically an administrative staff member and not a member of the action team, there's always a sense of shared vulnerability, and everyone hopes that nothing else goes wrong this month...

Even if you have to go out, don't go out while I'm on duty... Wu Zhong silently recited to himself, glancing at the two colleagues who were also on duty beside him, and subconsciously pressed his chest, where there was a talisman he had obtained from the Qinghe Palace in the city.

As far as he knew, many agents in the Investigation Bureau had acquired similar items. After all, they weren't ignorant fools; there really were deities behind this mystical practice! The people of Zhao believed in being prepared, and these talismans might come in handy someday…

Wu Zhong placed his cup into the recessed area at the bottom of the automatic coffee machine, rubbed his slightly sore neck, and stretched out his arms to the sides...

However, at that moment, the buzzer next to him started beeping, instantly sweeping away his laziness!

Wu Zhong, disregarding his still-brewing coffee cup, quickly went to the buzzer next to him, frowning as he looked at the screen.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at his two colleagues who were also on duty in the office and had already turned their attention to him: "The data analysis center in Jiangling reports that there are abnormal magnetic field fluctuations in the Qingfeng Mountain area in the northern suburbs of Jin'an City. The peak magnetic field value is still rising rapidly. After data analysis, it is suspected that a fourth type of event has occurred!"

"Notify the section chief, notify the relevant departments, and implement the emergency plan..." Wu Zhong's face showed a solemn expression.

Yu Huai scrambled and stumbled through a thicket of bushes, the tall grass, shrubs, and sparse branches whipping at his face, leaving red welts, but he seemed oblivious to it all, charging wildly toward the farm's wall like a runaway dog.

Behind him, thick dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and dense chains shot out from the surrounding mist, wrapping around the enormous monster that had not yet fully crawled out of the black hole.

These howling chains pierced directly through the crimson aura that had just gathered around the monster, carrying powerful kinetic energy. They wrapped around various parts of the monster's body, even some of its outstretched arms, and after looping around it several times and locking it firmly, they began to pull it downwards, trying to pull it down entirely!

Under the immense kinetic pull, the monster began to shrink back, emitting a sharp hiss as it tried to resist the powerful pulling force below.

However, at this moment, more and more chains continued to shoot out from all directions, lashing out from all angles and then binding the monster in the air. Just like the boarding action in naval battles of the classical era, the huge monster in mid-air struggled, but was gradually dragged out of the black hole in the void. Now its entirety could be seen. It was an indescribable chaotic entity over fifty meters long, composed of countless heads and arms.

The monster was clearly enraged. Countless arms on its body began to pull back the chains binding it, obviously unwilling to be dragged to the ground. Its entire body twisted into various shapes while emitting a piercing, nauseating cry...

..........................................

Perhaps the attention of the underworld messengers was mostly drawn to the monster behind them, because when Yu Huai arrived at the iron fence surrounding the farm, he was no longer hindered.

He was panting heavily, and his Taoist robes were torn in several places, all from being snagged on various plant branches during his frantic escape. However, he no longer cared about these injuries.

He pressed his temples, which were throbbing, and blood was still seeping from his mouth and nose. His heart pounded uncontrollably. Yu Huai knew he needed to rest; the destroyed ghost infants had already severely weakened him. However, at this moment, he couldn't stop…

Gritting his teeth, he reached out and grabbed the railing, his feet stepping on the patterns on the iron fence, and struggled to climb to the top. Just as he reached the top and was about to climb over, he heard a violent explosion behind him, accompanied by countless screams. A powerful shockwave followed, and he was involuntarily thrown over the fence. In that instant of disorientation, he glanced back and saw the enormous monster in the sky, shattering into pieces like a crashed starship, hurtling towards the ground…

Immediately following, countless heads and arms, densely packed like bunches of grapes, began to break apart into smaller monsters as the body shattered and torn apart. Some of these monsters had one head, while others had two or three, baring their fangs and screaming as they flew in all directions...

The surrounding chains began to form a huge net, just like the legendary net of heaven and earth, and began to surround and capture these monsters that were trying to escape!

Meanwhile, in the densely clouded sky, a colossal figure appeared and disappeared in the mist. It was a giant ghost god, over five meters tall, dressed in a black robe and wearing a huge cylindrical hat. Just one glance was enough for Yu Huai to feel a profound, powerful, and deathly awe-inspiring force...

This was the chaotic scene that Yu Huai witnessed, a breathtaking and otherworldly sight that filled him with awe!

Just from that fleeting glimpse, Yu Huai was already terrified. He didn't know who the ghost in the void was, but he knew with a guess that it was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

He then crashed heavily to the ground, rolling twice, completely disoriented and nearly losing his breath. His right rib seemed to have hit something, making even breathing painful.

Volume Two: The Truth Hidden Behind History Books: Chapter 778 Kunlun Disciple An Huiling

By this time, his clothes were mostly torn, and he was covered in dust and dirt, with bits of grass, leaves, and other dust sticking to his body...

Even so, he dared not linger. He could even vaguely sense that some kind of gaze was constantly following him, watching him...

This world is terrifying!!!

Jin'an is truly terrifying!

Yu Huai almost burst into tears. The grievances in his heart were too much for him to share with outsiders. He had originally come here to make money... but who knew... who knew!!

Why didn't I realize this sooner!

Yu Huai stumbled and ran out of the villa, and behind him, a thick fog rapidly spread...

Terrified, Yu Huai stumbled through the weeds and rushed to the road outside the manor. Just then, a black sedan that had been parked by the roadside started up and quickly stopped beside Yu Huai, who was staggering forward.

The vehicle was the same car Wei Yuan had ridden in earlier. The driver opened the door and got out, glancing at the extremely disheveled Yu Huai with some suspicion before asking curiously, "Master Yu? What happened to you...?"

However, before he could finish speaking, Yu Huai, as if seeing a savior, forcefully shoved him away. Caught off guard, the driver stumbled and took several steps back.

Taking advantage of the moment the driver pushed the door open, Yu Huai jumped into the driver's seat, slammed the door shut, and slammed on the gas, starting to drive forward in a desperate manner!

Yu Huai was panting heavily as he floored the accelerator, and the car's speed increased rapidly. He drove faster and faster along the small road, and then there was a sharp turn. If it weren't for the car's stiff chassis, the whole car would have almost gone out of control and been thrown off...

Even so, the vehicle nearly lost its balance and crashed into a roadside trash can, sending it flying...

Completely ignoring the cracked right headlight, Yu Huai trembled, glancing frequently at the rearview mirror. He was quickly moving away from the farm he had just left. The rearview mirror showed an empty road. It was already late at night, and the location was remote with few pedestrians or vehicles, so there was nothing special to see in the rearview mirror.

Even so, Yu Huai still felt as if something was constantly watching him, even after he had left that terrifying place. That gaze, like a leech clinging to his bone, never left him...

"Don't chase me...don't chase me..." Under immense psychological pressure, Yu Huai muttered to himself as he steered the vehicle forward at breakneck speed. His destination was Jin'an Airport!

He wanted to leave, and the fastest way to leave was through the airport!

................................................

承和三十七年 2016年4月7日01:18 建安省晋安市北郊青峰山

A thick fog enveloped the area. An Huiling looked at the hazy fog before her, and the paper crane hesitated back and forth before it, no longer moving forward.

An Huiling put the paper crane back in her hand, frowning as she looked at the mist in front of her. She could feel the cold, deathly atmosphere within it, as if the mist were a passage to another world...

This is not ordinary fog...

Something was happening in the misty, foggy sky. An Huiling looked up at the sky. Although it was a deep night, the dark clouds around her were already gathering faintly. She could even feel the strong fluctuations ahead...

However, this fluctuation was clearly weakened or even blocked by the fog in front of us!

Just as An Huiling was hesitating, wondering whether she should continue forward, she saw a strange creature flying rapidly through the fog ahead, screaming as it tried to break free of the fog.

However, just as it was about to burst out of the fog, a chain appeared from the depths of the mist, binding it tightly and then dragging it back...

An Huili pursed her lips and subconsciously took a step back. In that brief moment, she had sensed a familiar aura from the monster that had almost burst out of the mist. That thing... seemed to have some connection with the little monster that had ambushed her that day...

Immediately afterwards, in the direction the chains retracted, came the clanging sound of chains being dragged, reminiscent of heavy chains scraping across cold, hard ground, accompanied by heavy footsteps.

Before long, a figure, easily over three meters tall, gradually emerged from the misty fog. It was a ghost or deity wearing a tall, cylindrical hat, with a face as white as paper, and dressed in ancient-style black robes. He carried heavy chains on his back, one end of which dragged on the ground; the sound had come from there.

The moment An Huiling saw that figure, she knew it was not a living person! The cold, deathly aura made her extremely wary; she could sense that it was a power far greater than her own!

An Huiling carefully examined the ghost in front of her, and then noticed that on the tall hat on the ghost's head were four ancient seal characters: "Catching you."

"The underworld is investigating a case. Who comes here?" The ghost's cold gaze fell on An Huiling. He could sense that the woman in front of him was a cultivator.

Taking a deep breath, An Huiling didn't know what the "underworld" was, but if it was the place she was guessing, then the ghost in front of her was obviously not someone to be trifled with.

So, should she just reveal her background? An Huiling hesitated... If only her senior brother were here, he would definitely know how to deal with this situation.

I've never encountered a situation like this before...

However, after glancing at the gloomy face of the ghost before her, she finally clasped her hands in a fist and said cautiously, "Kunlun disciple An Huiling came here to track down a demon. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

"Kunlun?" Upon hearing this, the underworld official's expression changed. A smile even appeared on his eerily pale face, which was ashen. He also cupped his hands in greeting, and his words became polite, even respectful: "So you are a fairy from Kunlun. My City God instructed me that Kunlun is the orthodox lineage of the Xuanmen, the head of the Three Mountains. When you see someone from Kunlun, you must treat them with courtesy. By the way, I have heard that True Lord Zhang of Kunlun has a past with my master. May I ask how you address True Lord Zhang?"

"Zhang Zhenjun?" An Huiling subconsciously murmured to herself. This was the first time she had encountered this title. She quickly scanned through the names she recognized in the room and asked somewhat uncertainly, "I wonder which Zhang Zhenjun you are referring to?"

"That is the immortal whose name is Zongxuan."

Volume Two: The Truth Hidden Behind History Books: Chapter 779 The Eldest Brother's High-End Social Circle

An Huiling's eyes widened immediately. She had initially guessed that this person, who could be called a True Lord, might be her teacher, but to her surprise, it was actually her senior brother. She couldn't help but marvel at how wide his social circle was; his network was truly impressive! He even had old friends in the underworld!

Furthermore, just from the respectful address given by this ghost, one can sense that the senior brother holds a very high position in the other party's eyes!

"The one you're referring to is my eldest brother." An Huiling sighed inwardly, but answered without hesitation.

“So you are Zhang Zhenjun’s junior sister. In that case, Fairy An is no outsider.” The underworld official became even more respectful, his tall figure slightly bowing as if to lead the way. He then stretched out his hand to guide her: “Since Fairy An wishes to enter, please follow me.”

An Hui, who was originally still hesitant and unsure of what to do, saw that Lin was quite polite (Zhou-Wu), so she felt it wouldn't be right to embarrass him. She nodded and said politely, "Then I'll trouble you."

Upon entering the mist, An Huiling's senses almost instantly detected a chilling, desolate, somber, and deathly atmosphere that began to seep into her body. She could tell that this was definitely not ordinary mist rising from the air; it was as if she had entered some kind of special realm. A sense of foreboding even rose within her, as if she were entering a cold and dark ancient tomb...
