It's not You Yifeng, but Helena Sheffield.

According to Chen Shan, You Yifeng is a deep thinker. Even though they've hunted together, he still couldn't see through him.

Compared to You Yifeng, Helena is much simpler.

So, Yan Luo approached Helena.

Helena Sheffield has a Caucasian face, and her name follows the format of people from the northern region. However, she is actually a native of Crimson No.2.

The Crimson Abyss appeared in the forty-seventh year of the Abyss Calendar. At that time, her father was not doing well in other Abysses, so he brought the family through the Abyss to the eastern region, settling in Crimson No.2.

From the age of two, Helena lived in Crimson No.2. At that time, Crimson No.2 was just being constructed, so she grew up with it.

Therefore, Helena has her own property in Crimson No.2 and doesn't live in the Hunter's Apartment.

Her house is on the fifth floor of a five-story residential building, with a smart lock on the door. Because Yan Luo applied in advance, the door opened for him upon arrival.

"Darling, thanks for the lovely treat."

A fashionable beauty at the entrance blew a kiss to Helena, put on her high heels, and brushed past Yan Luo.

Helena, wearing only a shirt, leaned lazily against the wall, beckoning Yan Luo with her finger, "Care for a session?"

"No," Yan Luo answered calmly.

Tsk!

Helena's newfound interest was instantly swept away as she turned and walked inside, "Come in."

Yan Luo took off his shoes at the entrance, stepping onto the warm wooden floor and into the living room.

"People don't visit temples without a reason."

Standing in the open kitchen, Helena glanced at Yan Luo while stirring her milk coffee, smiling as she asked, "What brings someone of your stature to seek my help?"

"There is something," Yan Luo nodded again. "Do you know about the Abyssal Believers?"

Helena showed a puzzled look, "Abyssal Believers? Sounds like bad news."

Yan Luo then explained the concept of Abyssal Believers to her.

The more Helena listened, the more her brows furrowed.

Taking a sip of coffee, Helena said, "So you came to me this time to take on Abyssal Believers together?"

Yan Luo nodded, "Yes, Chen Shan and Wu Zechuan said you are trustworthy, so I sought you out."

Upon hearing this, Helena snorted coldly, "Of course, I'm trustworthy because my father was one of the victims of the demon tide nine years ago! Two years ago, my mother also passed away due to depression. If you're not lying, then it's all because of those Abyssal Believers that my family was destroyed!"

Yan Luo hadn't expected Helena to have such a complicated background. No wonder Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan unanimously said Helena was trustworthy.

"Are you willing to join?" Yan Luo asked.

Helena nodded, "Of course, I want revenge for my parents! But after joining, what do I have to do?"

Yan Luo handed Helena two lists, saying, "Chen Shan is preparing to contact a retired Hunters' organization against the Abyssal Believers, and what you'll specifically do depends on what he finds out. One of the lists is of confirmed and suspected Abyssal Believers. If you have time, you can verify whether the people on the list are indeed Abyssal Believers because some are just 'suspected,' and we can't recklessly take lives."

Giving Yan Luo a long look, Helena smiled, "You seem cold, but you're surprisingly kind-hearted. Alright, I'll investigate."

With that, Helena walked out of the kitchen, lightly tapped Yan Luo's collarbone with her finger, letting her fingertip slowly slide down, "Since you're here, why not 'sit' for a while?"

"No, I need to go back and work out."

Yan Luo declined Helena's offer, then took out a vial of his own blood, handed it to Helena, and explained its effects.

Helena was extremely surprised after hearing about it, not expecting Yan Luo's blood to have such powerful effects.

No wonder the City-breaking Level Demons wanted to devour him. With the abilities of those demons, consuming Yan Luo might offer a chance to become Catastrophe Level.

Yan Luo left Helena's house, pondering on his way home.

He had already formed a small team. While not everyone in the team would help him destroy the Abyss, they would certainly help him eliminate the Abyssal Believers and break through the technological blockade imposed on Blue Star by extraterrestrial civilizations.

To him, that's more than enough!

As for destroying the Abyss, he could do it alone.

......

"Professor, do you know how Engravings came about?"

That day, instead of going to Yan Luo's side for research, Sasa stayed with Professor Li Jiongming, working with him on the fallen flesh of the Catastrophe Level Bone-chilling Bear.

Besides Sasa and Li Jiongming, there were others in the lab, each busy with their tasks, having no time to eavesdrop on Sasa and Li Jiongming's conversation.

Li Jiongming glanced at Sasa, "Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"

Sasa hesitated for a moment and said, "Mainly because of things related to Yan Luo; he doesn't have Engravings but can still grow stronger by hunting Demons, why can't others?"

Hearing this, Li Jiongming pondered a bit and said, "Actually, regarding Engravings, I don't know much. Even Engraving designers only have a superficial understanding. They know what effects certain Engravings can achieve together, but how to create new Engravings, they have no idea. So, I suspect Engravings weren't something created by humans..."

Sasa's eyes flickered, as she asked, "But many people believe Engravings were created by humans imitating Demon superpowers?"

Li Jiongming chuckled, "Like you said, it's believed. In reality, the origin of Engravings is unknown, and there's even a theory in academia: 'Engravings are relics left by our ancestors.'

This statement sent a jolt through Sasa's heart, though she maintained an unchanged exterior.

Li Jiongming didn't notice Sasa's unease, and he continued with emotion, "Before Yan Luo, humans only had the path of 'Engravings' to wield extraordinary power because it's the only path we found. Didn't Yan Luo find another path? I heard the United Government has started promoting experiments, letting others try to gain extraordinary power using Yan Luo's method."

As if that would ever succeed...

Without showing it, Sasa focused her attention on studying the flesh of the Bone-chilling Bear.

In the lab, everyone was engaged in their own work, hoping to yield valuable findings from the flesh.

......

"What is this?" Li Xinyue asked, puzzled as she looked at the cryovial Yan Luo handed her, glancing at it twice.

Yan Luo said calmly, "My bone marrow."

Li Xinyue's hand trembled, causing the cryovial to slip from her grasp, but Yan Luo swiftly caught it and placed it back in her hand.

Staring in shock at the vial, Li Xinyue swallowed, "Uh... it won't need another injection, right?"

Injecting Yan Luo's blood already felt stimulating enough for Li Xinyue; every night, just the thought of Yan Luo's blood coursing through her veins stirred a restless excitement within her.

Bone marrow being even more intimate than blood, injecting this vial into her body would...

"You can also drink it," Yan Luo said.

Drink... it?

Li Xinyue's mind went into overdrive, shutting down completely.

Yan Luo continued, "Sasa and I studied it; whether injected or ingested, the effects are the same. The significance lies not in the marrow itself but in its symbolic origin from me. After using the marrow, your Magic Power adaptability will enhance, making future Engraving easier."

That he had studied it with Sasa suggested that perhaps by the time he gave her his blood, Yan Luo had already realized the effects of his marrow.

Li Xinyue bit her lip slightly and asked, "Before, you only gave me your blood. Why suddenly give me your bone marrow?"

"Because of the Abyssal Believers!" Yan Luo candidly revealed the existence of this supposedly secretive group.

To destroy the Abyss, the Abyssal Believers must die!

After hearing Yan Luo's explanation, Li Xinyue fell silent.

Then she unscrewed the cap of the cryovial and tipped the marrow into her mouth.

... Hiss! So cold!
