Since they had nothing else to do, they simply followed Barry Wallace’s directions to his home.

"Azure Vista Complex?"

Surprise flickered in Moira Lynch’s eyes as she read the name of the complex.

She remembered this was the complex where the first flesh-eating incident had occurred.

That’s right, it was that brawl.

It had started as a simple argument between two people. But when one of them punched the other and broke his nose, the people around them instantly lost control the moment blood splattered into the air.

However, she had only heard the commotion, so she hadn’t witnessed the entire event.

But based on the circumstances at the time and her earlier analysis, the one who got punched must have been the person with the awakened talent.

’But I didn’t sense any talent fluctuations from him. So, was he someone with a latent awakened talent?’

After all, it was common knowledge that without an Awakening Potion, not everyone could awaken.

"Have you been to Azure Vista Complex before?"

Hearing this, Moira Lynch shook her head. "No, but I heard about a group brawl that happened here before. It was quite famous, so I looked it up out of curiosity."

"Oh, I see."

The two of them followed behind Barry Wallace and entered the Azure Vista Complex.

From the moment she entered the complex, Moira Lynch felt that something was off. It was as if something here was drawing her in.

"Um, I think I’ll look around here for a bit. I won’t go with you," Moira Lynch said.

"Be careful."

Moira Lynch hummed in acknowledgment. At the same time, Hugh Finch’s voice came through the Communication Corridor.

"I feel something in the southwest corner of this complex drawing me in. Can you go check it out for me?"

"Okay, but I feel something here pulling me too. I need to go check it out first."

After the other two left, Moira Lynch extended her spiritual power to carefully sense her surroundings. She felt nothing unusual in the direction of the southwest corner, but she confirmed that the force attracting her was coming from the northeast corner.

To save time, Moira Lynch moved as quickly as possible toward the northeast corner.

When she arrived, she found a greenbelt with a small flower bed. Inside the flower bed grew flowers she couldn’t name, which were blooming in a particularly conspicuous way.

They were a little too conspicuous, almost out of place compared to the other flower beds she had seen along the way.

Sensing that the attractive force was coming from within the flower bed, she scanned her surroundings. After confirming no one was around, she jumped directly into the flower bed and started searching.

In order to save time, Moira Lynch began to ruthlessly destroy the flowers.

Soon, she had stripped the entire flower bed bare, but she still hadn’t found what she was looking for.

But she could clearly feel that the object was right here, right beneath her feet.

’Could it be buried in the dirt?’

Moira Lynch looked around and finally found a stick that was barely usable, and began to dig in the ground with it.

’I should have brought the Universal Gloves. At this rate, who knows how long this digging will take.’

’And that damn Cosmic Consciousness... Not only did it seal my storage space, but it also messed with my items. It said I could bring five items into the game, but when I tried to bring my Universal Gloves, it told me they were against the rules because they had copied the abilities of too many other items. So I couldn’t bring them.’

Fortunately, Moira Lynch’s luck was good this time. After just a few digs, she hit what she was looking for.

She brushed away the surface soil, revealing something that emitted a faint green glow.

Perhaps stimulated by the outside air, the faint green layer of light shattered with a POP.

Just like a bursting bubble.

As this layer of light disappeared, Moira Lynch could clearly feel a ripple of energy spreading outwards.

She clearly heard a restless stir coming from the nearby buildings, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

At that moment, with the protective layer shattered, the object within was finally revealed. It was a seed, emitting a faint green glow.

Moira Lynch could feel a powerful Life Energy emanating from the seed. At the same time, an intense desire suddenly welled up inside her—a desire to swallow the seed before her.

Just as Moira Lynch picked up the seed and was about to put it in her mouth, it suddenly vanished from her hand.

Snowy had appeared out of nowhere, standing about a meter away from her, the seed held firmly in its mouth.

Before Moira Lynch could even cry out to stop it, Snowy opened its little mouth, and the seed was gone.

Strangely, as soon as Snowy ate the seed, she herself calmed down.

However, a lesson still needed to be taught.

"From now on, you’re not allowed to eat random things without my permission, you hear me...?"

Moira Lynch hadn’t even finished her scolding when she saw a group of people running toward her from the distance, with more and more joining the crowd.

Seeing these people, Moira Lynch’s first instinct was to run.

With a single thought, her figure instantly vanished from the spot.

The people who rushed over happened to see the moment Moira Lynch disappeared.

"Where’d she go? Why did she disappear?" one person roared uncontrollably.

These people had been suffering from "noise syndrome." But just a moment ago, the syndrome had vanished, and at the same time, a mysterious power had begun to inexplicably attract them.

It was as if a voice in their hearts was telling them that as long as they obtained this power, they could be completely free of the noise syndrome and even gain great strength.

But when they followed the pull here, they only saw a blurry figure in the distance. They thought someone had beaten them to it, but before they could even approach and demand the object, the figure vanished.

Meanwhile, Moira Lynch, who had teleported to a safe location, watched from afar as the people searched the spot and found nothing. They didn’t give up, however, and instead spread out to search the surrounding area.

Seeing this, she didn’t hesitate to run toward the southwest corner, sending a quick message to Hugh Finch along the way.

At this time, Barry Wallace was not yet done packing. But based on her recent experience, only Hugh Finch had sensed the object, so perhaps only he could find it.

Meanwhile, Hugh Finch received Moira Lynch’s message. He glanced at Barry Wallace, who was still packing his luggage, and said, "Take your time packing. I’m stepping out for a bit, but I’ll be back soon."

Barry Wallace nodded. "Did something happen to Young Lynn? I just heard a lot of people running downstairs, and I also felt a strange energy fluctuation."

To be honest, if he wasn’t busy packing and didn’t have Hugh Finch watching him, he would have wanted to go downstairs and see what was going on.

That power... it was really alluring.

By the time Hugh Finch arrived at the southwest corner, Moira Lynch had already searched the place thoroughly, but she hadn’t found anything.
