Although large Anomalous Spatial Rift surges have almost disappeared in recent years, occasional small demonic surges still occur.
And around a large settlement like Shenzhen, there are actually quite a few uncleared Anomalous Spatial Rifts, so it isn't surprising for spatial surges to happen from time to time.
As for the Church Court sending people to suppress these surges, it's not surprising either.
Although the Church Court has been competing openly and covertly with the Alliance, always disagreeing, conquering Anomalous Spatial Rifts and suppressing surges are beneficial to them.
Especially when dealing with surges of undead or dark attributes, the Church Court responds more swiftly than anyone else.
Because the power of Holy Light has an absolute advantage in these kinds of Anomalous Spaces, which other attributes struggle to compete with.
Therefore, the Church Court sending people to suppress the surge is not surprising.
As for the dispatched personnel dying inside...
That's also very normal because entering an Anomalous Spatial Rift to suppress a demonic surge is inherently extremely dangerous, and casualties are perfectly normal.
Based on these events alone, at first glance, there doesn't seem to be any issue.
However, considering that half a month later, a Demon God is about to launch an attack on Shenzhen, makes things quite intriguing.
The timing is too coincidental.
Most importantly, this time, the Church Court even left the Divine Artifact 'Sunrise Holy Stele' inside an Anomalous Spatial Rift.
This has a deadly attraction to almost all Holy Professionals, especially for Lin Ye.
The Sunrise Holy Stele is said to be the Supreme Treasure passed down by the first Saint Flame Pope, driven by Holy Flame power, capable of suppressing a hundred thousand Demon Gods with one stele.
This Supreme Treasure has always been strictly guarded by the Church Court, yet this time, word has spread that it has fallen into an Anomalous Space.
It's basically tempting Lin Ye to enter the fray.
Combined with the intelligence Lin Ye and the Demon Hunting Army received from Tao Meng, there is no doubt that this trap is meant to keep Lin Ye occupied in Shenzhen for half a month.
"Are you going then?" Tu Mengmeng put down the file in her hand and asked.
"I am. Can't say for the next half month, but this trip is absolutely safe, even without the Sunrise Holy Stele, I have to go."
Lin Ye said calmly.
After his actions over the past half month, he had practically pulled out most of the 'keys'; once the right timing comes, the Demon Hunting Army, tasked with watching these 'keys', will eliminate them promptly.
Once these 'keys' are dead, it's certain that corresponding spatial surges can't be triggered.
Under such circumstances, the scale of the surge is already under relative control; this feast of the Demon Gods is destined to fail.
But before that, everything must proceed according to their script.
This is one of the few opportunities to expose the Church Court's ambitious plans and a rare chance to critically hit some Demon Gods.
Lin Ye is also happy to see such a situation developing; whether it's the Demon Gods or the Church Court, they pose significant threats to him. So now that there's an opportunity to weaken them, Lin Ye is naturally not going to be polite.
Of course, if he can obtain a Holy Artifact beforehand, that would be even better.
As a master of Holy Flame power, Lin Ye can clearly sense that outside Shenzhen, in an Anomalous Space, a cluster of Holy Flames is blazing fiercely.
Obviously, that's the message from the Sunrise Holy Stele.
This time, the Church Court has indeed gone all out, even at the cost of using such a significant Holy Artifact to lure Lin Ye into the trap.
But it's reasonable to think...
Since the Holy Flame power has been completely stripped by Lin Ye from the City of Light.
No matter how powerful the Sunrise Holy Stele is, without the Holy Flame driving it, it's just like an ordinary equipment, unable to unleash even a tenth of its might.
For the Church Court, the Sunrise Holy Stele has essentially lost its value, so using it as bait to lure Lin Ye into the fray is not too difficult to accept.
But for Lin Ye, it's of great use.
They are absolutely confident that even if Lin Ye feels that something is wrong, he will certainly take the bait.
But actually, the real trap is not this minor surge...
It is the catastrophe that Demon Gods will trigger half a month later, enough to destroy all of Shenzhen and even most of the Southern Province.
Even if Lin Ye is killed then, the Sunrise Holy Stele will still return to the Church Court's hands.
For the Church Court, this plan is simply perfect!
"Since that's the case, for the next half month, don't worry about monitoring those 'keys'; the Demon Hunting Army won't let you down!"
Tu Mengmeng said solemnly.
Lin Ye is putting himself into the fray, although the analysis shows there's probably no danger this time.
But entering Anomalous Space, where could true safety possibly be found?
This isn't comparable to ordinary Secret Realms; it's an Anomalous Space a dozen or hundred times more perilous, a buffer zone between the Human World and the Abyss.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you during this period."
Lin Ye nodded and said.
To say the least, if it's about dealing with Demons, the Demon Hunting Army is absolutely professional. Even if Lin Ye himself took action, he might not perform better than them.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals; Lin Ye understands this well.
After bidding farewell to Tu Mengmeng, Lin Ye left the basement of the café and directly entered a small alley by the roadside.
As a blue light flashed suddenly, Lin Ye's figure disappeared into the alley.
After crossing the boundary of the first Professional Plaza in Shenzhen, about ten miles away lies an absolutely desolate area.
This is the site of the 412th Spatial Rift 'Plague Apocalypse'.
In this area filled with toxic miasma, even ordinary Abyssal Demons can't survive, only undead creatures or toxin-immune species can linger here.
It is the existence of this indiscriminate attacking toxic miasma that keeps the 'Plague Apocalypse' Anomalous Spatial Rift ongoing.
Very few Professionals would risk the toxicity to venture inside.
However, these miasmas have almost no effect on Lin Ye...
Under the power of Holy Flame, these toxins cannot infect Lin Ye in the slightest; before even touching him, they are completely incinerated by the power of Holy Flame.
The personnel dispatched by the Church Court, carrying the Sunrise Holy Stele seen by everyone, seems very reasonable.
Simply because the power of Holy Flame naturally counters these miasmas.
But the members of that team probably don't know, their trip is definitely doomed.
