[Sasa, take a look at this news!]
As Yan Luo fled toward Crimson No.2, Sasa, who was researching the flesh and blood of the piercing bear with Professor Li Jiongming, suddenly saw a message from Zhang Xiaofang.
The moment she saw the news, Sasa's eyes widened, and she exclaimed inwardly, "Wow!"
Yan Luo's audacity is unmatched; he dared to commit murder in broad daylight within the city!
And the victim wasn't just anyone; it was She Wuyou, the second richest industrialist in Lingquan City.
People say 'the second richest industrialist in Lingquan City,' but many know that She Wuyou is the She Family's representative figure.
With the death of a representative, the She Family definitely won't let this go easily.
Sasa remembered Yan Luo going to Lingquan City just to join in the commotion, but she didn't expect things to get this intense!
Taking a deep breath, Sasa realized she had something she needed to do.
[Professor, I'm stepping out for a bit.]
Seeing the message from Sasa, Professor Li Jiongming glanced at her and nodded.
Sasa quietly left the lab, without disturbing the others.
Once outside, she quickened her pace and soon ran to her dorm, where she remotely contacted Keke and instructed Keke to destroy all of Yan Luo's biological samples in the basement.
Then, Sasa began to remotely erase all experimental records in the lab. After ensuring everything was deleted, she activated a program that caused the basement's scientific equipment to overload and self-destruct.
Having completed these tasks, Sasa then contacted the hacker 'Current.'
[Current, I need a favor—erase all traces of operations I just executed from my terminal. I'll pay twenty thousand.]
Yan Luo might have always anticipated such a day would come, and that's why he provided Sasa with Current's contact information and transferred some funds to her name.
From the moment she received those funds, Sasa knew that Yan Luo would inevitably cause trouble one day; she just didn't expect it to come so soon.
Simply relying on legal means can't eliminate the Abyssal Believers; to eradicate this group completely, one must kill!
Yan Luo harbored murderous intent toward the Abyssal Believers from the very start. He knew himself well and knew what he would do, so he had long prepared for this.
Simply erasing traces of operations is an easy task, especially since Sasa offered twenty thousand, so Current promptly agreed and began deleting traces from Sasa's personal terminal and network.
Knock, knock!
The door to Sasa's dorm suddenly sounded with a knock. She squinted her eyes, jumped off the bed, and went to open the door.
Outside stood two stern-faced police officers, behind them a pale-faced classmate of Sasa, who was trembling slightly.
"Hello, Sasa. We need to ask you some questions."
Upon hearing this, Sasa smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to the lounge on this floor. I know what you're going to ask."
She had already 'distanced' herself from Yan Luo. They had no grounds to arrest her. Besides, even if she were Yan Luo's girlfriend, as long as she wasn't his wife, she wouldn't be taken to the police station.
In other words, she was safe.
......
Upon hearing the garrison commander's words, Wu Zechuan laughed.
"Sir, lock down Crimson No.2!"
Wu Zechuan chuckled softly, "Locking down Crimson No.2 and preventing any creatures from entering or exiting is the greatest help we can offer."
The garrison commander didn't understand why Wu Zechuan wanted this, but he knew Wu Zechuan was aligned with Yan Luo. He immediately issued orders to close the city gates to all soldiers.
Two teams of Hunters wanted to leave Crimson No.2, but when informed about the gate closure, they were dumbfounded.
Watching the surveillance footage, Wu Zechuan saw the bewildered looks on the Hunters' faces and shook his head, sighing, "Crimson No.2 is surely clean now?"
At the same time, Wu Zechuan received intel from a contact.
The informant told him that the attacker who had been sent to the police station was dead.
Died from choking while eating too hastily.
Big fish on the hook, a double blessing!
Wu Zechuan couldn't help but laugh aloud, then focused his gaze toward the Abyss Entrance.
Yan Luo ran so far, returning from Lingquan City to Crimson No.2; surely it's not to hide within Crimson No.2.
If Wu Zechuan guessed right, Yan Luo's target should be the Abyss Entrance.
Although he didn't understand why Yan Luo wanted to enter the Abyss, the other two exploration towns surely wouldn't welcome him. If he appeared in those places, he would be reported.
But, Yan Luo had made his move, surely there was a reason.
Recalling the materialization of the Abyss, Wu Zechuan frowned. "Could it be..."
——Could it be that Yan Luo intends to hide within the Crimson Abyss and survive by consuming demon blood flesh?
There's nothing in the Crimson Abyss to make a fire unless you bring it yourself; otherwise, Yan Luo can only eat demon blood flesh raw within the Abyss.
Given Yan Luo's character, he certainly could resort to such measures.
After pondering for a moment, Wu Zechuan shook his head, clearing those chaotic thoughts from his mind.
The big fish is already hooked; next, he needs to find a way to catch that big fish, use it to trace back its connection, find out that She Wuyou is an Abyssal Believer, and then help Yan Luo clear his name.
Only then can Yan Luo return to civilized society.
On the other side of Crimson No.2, Yan Luo entered the projection of the Abyss on Blue Star.
Using high-yield weapons to bombard these illusions would cause them to expand, and using such weapons within the Abyss would also lead to the expansion of these illusions; therefore, this area can be considered a part of the Abyss.
If he couldn't open a space portal here, he would approach the stationed soldiers at the checkpoint and ask for their help to let him in.
Yan Luo took out the Jade and Magic Crystal, took a deep breath, and placed the Magic Crystal into the Jade.
The crystal, drawn by the Jade, floated within it.
Engravings within the Jade illuminated one after another, emitting a faint glow.
Then, light shot out from the Jade, forming a space portal in front of Yan Luo.
Seeing the space portal, Yan Luo's eyes brightened.
Indeed, his idea was correct!
However, because this place wasn't truly the Abyss, the space portal's duration was short—it began flickering within two seconds. Yan Luo's eyes narrowed, and he pushed off his foot, rushing into the space portal.
Once he passed through the portal, it immediately shut behind him.
The world before him opened up wide, with countless towering giants growing beside him stretching far beyond the horizon.
This woodland appeared wider than the Dark Forest; its size was unfathomable.
Yan Luo, lacking the [Guide] Engraving and not even being an Engraver, couldn't sense a trace of Magic Power—unsure of the magic density in this world. However, he could tell the air composition here wasn't much different from Blue Star.
No significant difference?
Luckily, Yan Luo wasn't a scientist; he didn't ponder for long.
All he needed to know was that he could survive here with his physique, and that was enough.
Yan Luo set off on foot, beginning to wander in this world.
Before exploring this otherworld, Yan Luo marked areas around the transport point to ensure he could return to around Crimson No.2 when he wanted to return to Blue Star.
The biological resources in this world were abundant, with signs of activity through the bushes, under roots, and on branches.
As he walked, Yan Luo suddenly bent down and grabbed a centipede crawling out from the soil, pinched off its head, and threw its body into his mouth.
While chewing, Yan Luo was thinking.
Besides the environment, the plants and animals seemed not unlike those on Blue Star; yet, this centipede tasted much more sour than those from the Crimson Abyss—likely due to an earthy taste.
"Blech!"
Spitting soil from his mouth onto the ground, Yan Luo kept moving.
After a while, he raised his left hand, using the magic measurement device on his wrist to check the magic power content within his body.
"Hmm?"
Yan Luo raised an eyebrow, finding that this centipede provided him with 20 units of magic power, more than eating a full meal of dangerous-grade mutated flesh.
That centipede wasn't enough to fill the gap between his teeth, yet it offered such substantial magic power, indicating that not only are biological resources rich here, but magic resources are likely abundant as well.
Given this, there should be quite a few city-breaking-level mutated lifeforms here, demanding caution.
Lowering his left hand, Yan Luo idly glanced around, suddenly feeling tense, he raised his hand to grasp.
——Whoosh!
Yan Luo caught a flying arrow!
