Blackness permeated everything.
Li Chen lay motionless in the pit.
All he could do was watch as endless Black Mist poured into his body, and he was like a container constantly inhaling that Black Mist.
"Chen-ge!" Su Zhe's eyes were bloodshot, and he was just about to run out.
Jianping stopped him, and he didn't speak, just quietly watching the figure.
But Su Zhe was already panicked and yelled, "What are you doing?!"
My brother is inside!
"He's still breathing, he's not dead yet, there's nothing you can do if you go over there now." Jianping's expression remained unchanged.
Su Zhe was speechless. Indeed, his actions had been of no use; his emotions had only made him more panicked.
Having calmed down, he asked, "Then what should we do?"
"Wait, wait until the Black Mist dissipates, wait until Li Chen can no longer absorb the Black Mist before going over."
Jianping drew his sword, turned his back to Li Chen, and looked at the thick Black Mist.
The Eerie Monsters had begun to approach them.
At this moment, Li Chen had already fallen into the depths of his consciousness.
Although the man in white sent him out of that space, he did not completely leave.
Instead, they became engrossed in their own Spirit World.
It wasn't that eerie space.
The Spirit World is the world that each awakened person possesses, but each person's world is different, although they are all basically created by their own spiritual power.
However, only those Sequence User than the Dripping Water Realm possess Spirit World, since spiritual power is the foundation of any world.
The Dripping Water Realm is far too weak.
Li Chen sat beside the small stream of spiritual energy, lost in thought, and murmured to himself.
"The road?"
"My life has never been complete. What others have, I've only ever dared to dream of. Perhaps if it weren't for Su Zhe, I would have already..."
"Well..."
After a moment of silence...
Li Chen looked at the ceaseless flow of energy in his Spirit World.
"They say S-rank abilities are very strong. I awakened them, or maybe you gave them to me, but I don't care. I just want to be an observer and watch everything unfold."
"But this time I realized that without power, perhaps I don't even have the right to watch, let alone control the path of my own life."
Only the strong have the right to choose.
He wasn't stupid, he just lacked some emotional intelligence. Even when he awakened his S-rank ability, he had some doubts.
Why is his awakening different from others'? He entered that strange space and embarked on the path of the broken throne.
Or perhaps there's a strange space within his body, seemingly sealing away an extremely terrifying monster.
He didn't know, and he didn't understand, but at this moment he was finally no longer confused.
He has found the "path".
Only by becoming stronger can he unravel all the mysteries and gain the right to choose for himself.
"A strange space, a pitch-black door." Li Chen clenched his fist slightly, his eyes gleaming.
In a short time
As if aided by the Black Mist outside, Li Chen absorbed it even faster, so fast that Jianping and Su Zhe could hear the sound of air being torn apart.
"What's going on?!" Su Zhe turned to look in Li Chen's direction behind him, somewhat bewildered.
A detached voice rang out.
"I'm back."
Li Chen was surrounded by Black Mist had actually become his weapon.
A jet-black blade swirled around him.
Empty~
In an instant, the blades seemed to have eyes, slicing the Eerie Monsters in half.
"Damn, Chen-ge is awesome!!" Su Zhe shouted as he watched the Eerie Monsters he had been fighting all die in an instant.
At this moment, Jianping revealed a smile.
Welcome back.
Li Chen nodded, still feeling a little embarrassed as he looked at Jianping's wounds, having previously taken Jianping away in a bag.
"I apologize for before, but the situation was really urgent."
Jianping shook his head; he naturally understood that Li Chen was thinking of him.
Su Zhe, who had also returned to his previous state, asked with some confusion,
"Hey Chen-ge, what exactly happened here? That Black Mist flowed into your body like water just now."
"Don't you feel anything at all?!"
"Flowed into my body?"
Li Chen was a little confused. He hadn't felt anything, but he did see a lot of Black Mist swirling around him when he woke up.
Moreover, controlling the energy within the Black Mist is extremely easy for him.
Seeing this, Su Zhe and Jianping roughly knew that Li Chen also didn't know what had happened, so they didn't say anything more.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Chen said, "Let's go, we should get out of here."
Not long after, Li Chen and his companions emerged from Black Mist at its end.
But the situation outside was terrifying for them all.
The people from the Special Affairs Bureau and Canglan Academy were all quietly watching from outside as the three emerged from the Black Mist.
Yu Qingnian stood at the very front, looking at the group with a smile.
But Li Chen and the others sensed a dangerous aura.
Sure enough, the next second they were put into a vehicle belonging to the Special Affairs Bureau.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was serious.
"Your name is... Li Chen?"
"Right."
"Studied at the Canglan Academy?"
"Right"
"Looking River Realm?"
"Yes... that's right."
Li Chen looked at the female agent in front of him, Instructor Yu, sat beside him with an expressionless face.
After all, such a major incident had occurred, and as those who emerged from the Black Mist, they still needed to report the situation inside truthfully.
What did you encounter in the Black Mist?
"Eerie Monsters?"
Li Chen nodded and said, "Those who were killed by the Evil Cult inside have come back to life and become Eerie Monsters trying to kill us."
At this moment, Yu Qingnian, who was standing to the side, said with a serious expression, "Then did you see clearly who spread the Black Mist?"
"Hmm... it's someone from Evil Cult. He brought a strange object and released Black Mist into the Neon Street."
Yu Qingnian pondered for a long time, seemingly thinking about something.
After taking a statement, the agent released Li Chen.
The spread of the Black Mist has completely Black Mist the Neon Streets, but it should return to normal in a few days.
After all, their Special Affairs Bureau would use special equipment to clear away this Black Mist.
However, Li Chen didn't explain in great detail, such as when he went to touch that strange object.
But he had no idea what had happened in the outside world after he came into contact with that strange object.
All he knew was that when he woke up, he was already in the Black Mist.
After leaving the interrogation room, Li Chen saw Su Zhe and Jianping, who had already finished giving their statements.
Su Zhe immediately stood up and said, "Chen-ge, let's go, let's go."
"What bad luck! I just came out and got here."
Li Chen smiled. This was already quite good. If they weren't students of the Canglan Academy, they probably would have been locked up here for several more days.
After all, quite a few people died, and they were indirectly involved.
"Oh dear, let's go, let's go."
"Let's go eat hot pot. I was hungry when I was in Neon Street."
"I haven't eaten a single bite of food after fighting for so long!"
Seeing Su Zhe's hurried manner, Li Chen smiled and followed him.
Jianping followed silently behind.
