Chapter 1888 - 970: Level 1 Anomaly_3

Explosion!

An unexpected scream echoed, accompanied by violent surges of fierce flames.

It was as if that person was engulfed by Fuel Element, convulsing violently, body twitching, completely enveloped in Blood Flames. Silver-white blades continually sprouted from the flesh.

He could no longer utter a sound.

In the blink of an eye, as the fierce flames erupted, everything turned to ashes!

Dead?

Lu Cai panted heavily, not even having time to relax. She turned around and saw the viscous fog, like a living creature, surging towards them.

She dropped the gun, grabbed the limp Lu Xing from the ground, trying to take him out of there.

"...It's too late, Sister."

Lu Xing panted, as if making some kind of decision, gripping her wrist tightly, giving a final grin: "Don't be afraid. After you get out, remember to find Second Brother."

He turned his head, looking at the creeping fog, and the something gradually emerging within it.

This time, he finally saw clearly...

Beyond the countless turbulent currents, the distant scenery.

Why hadn't I noticed it before?

It was so close, right at hand!

For the first time in his life, he reached out to the scene that had terrified him as a child.

Just like that, he pushed Lu Cai out.

The next moment, he was swallowed by the fog, never to be seen again.

While Lu Cai only felt the world spinning.

In a sudden daze, she plummeted from the sky, traversing a vast distance, crashing into the living room at home, stirring up turbulence, gale winds sweeping, leaving a total mess.

Turning back, she saw her mother rushing out from the kitchen, unable to hold back her tears any longer.

"Mom, the youngest... the youngest is lost!"

Half a minute later, Ji Jue received a call from his third sister.

Before that, the alarm had already been triggered, and he had charged into the Tong family, grabbing Tong Ting.

"It's urgent, Uncle Ting, help us!"

The still drowsy Tong Ting was momentarily taken aback, looking at him as if reading something, snatching the phone from his hand with a swift move.

In a flash, he figured out the situation and made a decision.

"The old man was taken by the garrison office to find the Evil Cult. Since he dared to go out, it means I can handle the foreshadowing and Echo. You come with me first!"

He rushed into his father's study, grabbing the turtle shell on the table: "Do you have the birth date and eight characters?"

"The youngest was adopted, it's inaccurate, the birth date is the day he was found."

"How many years?"

"Eight years."

"That's enough, barely usable. Any hair or frequently used items?"

"Will blood do? I have a backup in the workshop."

Ji Jue pulled out a test tube from his pocket, poured it onto the paper with the birth date, following Tong Ting's instructions, stuffed it into the turtle shell. The paper ignited spontaneously, turning into ashes.

And after a vigorous shake, the Copper Coin fell onto the table.

Tong Ting's expression was grave, yet he subtly breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Mountain removes, initial six."

He said, "Although the situation is unfavorable, it's not the worst at the moment, but if left unchecked, it could become irreparable.

Ji Jue, it's a half-good news at least, for now, you still have time."

"Please lend a helping hand," Ji Jue said.

Tong Ting nodded, pulling out an annual map atlas of Cliff City from the shelf, the original draft hand-written by Tong Yuan, as the spiritual flows coursed, revealing numerous intricate marks on it.

In the blink of an eye, a torrent surged, endless light and shadow came rushing in.

The pages moved automatically as if blown by the wind, the map locations constantly changing, quickly locking onto the position of the warehouse, and then, the darkness dissipated, revealing the scene inside the warehouse before them.

But beyond that, there were no more changes.

"Take this."

Tong Ting stuffed the turtle shell into Ji Jue's hands, "I need someone on the scene, preferably in ten minutes."

Ji Jue paused for a moment, without hesitation:

"Give me the address."

Stepping forward, three seconds later, he appeared inside the warehouse.

Before he could regain his footing, the turtle shell in his hand began to shake.

The Copper Coin bounced and clattered incessantly, a Circle Realm suddenly unfolded within the turtle shell.

——[Past Memories]!

Immediately, the chaotic scene before him quickly transformed. Under the forcible analysis of ether, everything that had happened before was brutally excavated out, breaking through illusions, swiftly reassembling.

There's no time for subtle infiltration anymore, just break through directly!

As if time has reversed.

A completely black shadow appeared before Ji Jue, seemingly aware of something, it glanced towards the window, burst into laughter, and wriggled through the wall, heading far away.

Ji Jue waved his hand, shattered the wall, and chased after it, darting through the alley.

The fog once billowed, obscuring everything, but as the Copper Coin bounced continuously, numerous intricate divinations appeared, merged, and stitched all the broken pieces back together.

The shadow flickered repeatedly, as if struck by something, screaming as it rolled and crawled chaotically on the ground.

Soon, it burned to ashes.

Turning into a pile of nonexistent flying ash, falling at Ji Jue's feet.

Ji Jue looked to the side, where two vague shadows stood, one was pushed backward, falling into a vortex.

Only one person remained, lying there, gazing upwards.

As if completely swallowed by something.

Disappearing without a trace.

Ji Jue stood there stunned.

He remained silent for a while, then sighed lightly.

"...Didn't expect you to be such a wonderful material, little one."

Now, he's finally understood how his third sister appeared at home out of nowhere.

The little brat at home who loves trickery is actually the rare potential origin stone of the Gate of Eternity among all Superiors, a Chosen One awakened under pressure!

What kind of luck does Mrs. Lu have?

Picked up a total of five kids, and three of them turned out to be Chosen Ones?

And in this brief silence, Ji Jue's hand burned.

The tortoise shell shook continuously, hot like a branding iron.

Inside, the Copper Coin jumped madly, forcibly dissecting reality, tracing all clues, forcibly opening that locked door.

A series of piercing sounds rang out, echoing in the air.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred, until the scene stabilized for a moment, but then everything dissolved rapidly, turning into a nauseating splash of oil paint.

The hidden filth contamination!

Everything that happened, already thoroughly polluted by something.

Allowing no tracing or searching.

Crack!

A sharp sound exploded from the tortoise shell, its cracks winding, the tracing images completely shattered, never to be reconstructed.

Ji Jue's phone rang, the voice on the other end was faintly coughing, agitated.

"Dammit, ran aground in the ditch, wait a moment, Ji Jue, I'm bringing Old Deng over, right away..."

"No need, Uncle Ting."

Ji Jue released his grip, the shattered tortoise shell dispersed in the air, returning to the Booker's side.

He said, "It's enough."

Tong Ting's voice paused for a moment, "Did you find anything?"

"If you must say, there's a bit of a clue."

Ji Jue lowered his eyes, staring at the watch, "Leave the rest to me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"...Wait for me a bit."

Over the phone, the sound of the tortoise shell shaking rang out, a copper plate flew out and fell, bringing the final divination and revelation:

"——You still have a chance, Ji Jue, but you must act within two hours. If you need help, inform me within half an hour."

"Okay, thanks, Uncle Ting."

After expressing thanks again, Ji Jue hung up the phone and dialed Lu Feng's number, immediately telling him, without waiting for a response: "I found the clues, I'm pursuing personally, it's not a big trouble, leave it to me."

"Alright."

In the living room, Lu Feng, who had been waiting for this call for a long time, nodded, "Xiao Ling has already returned, everything's fine at home, take care of yourself."

Ji Jue laughed, finally reassuring him: "Don't worry, I'm experienced in such matters."

The call ended.

He put away the phone and looked at the floating window in front of him.

Just when Tong Ting was forcibly decoding, the control system from the Doomsday Special Train was triggered by an abnormal signal, and the control panel automatically popped up with a red anomalous warning.
