Heart-Wrenching Effort

As expected!

From the reactions of everyone just now, Fu Qian had vaguely felt something was wrong, and now he finally confirmed the reason.

The four of them couldn't see this part, but only he could.

Fu Qian didn't really believe in explanations like "chosen one." After thinking it over, the only explanation should be related to the Inspiration he had obtained before.

Especially after successfully containing it last time, his Inspiration had increased quite a bit.

The explanation for Inspiration was that it enhanced the ability to perceive intangible things.

This should be the reason why he could see the special content on the Notebook.

Fu Qian didn't waste any time. Under the complex gazes of everyone, he quickly began to sketch what he saw on the ground.

For him, completing the mission as quickly as possible was the most important thing, and he couldn't miss any clues.

This section wasn't long, and Fu Qian finished drawing it quickly.

The group stared at what he had drawn, their eyes wide with confusion.

"What is this?"

"Cuneiform?"

"Looks like some kind of code?"

"No clue at all..."

The Captain was clearly just as clueless.

"Su Gao, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, this girl was the team's technical expert.

Fu Qian glanced at the porcelain-skinned woman.

"It should be a type of special cipher."

Su Gao pondered for a moment and gave her judgment.

"I have a few potential directions for analysis, but deciphering it won't be easy and requires ample time. The current situation absolutely doesn't allow for that."

So it was completely meaningless? A waste of time.

Everyone was disappointed.

"How about I give it a try."

Fu Qian suddenly said.

"You know how?"

Everyone turned to look at Fu Qian in unison.

"I don't know, but I can learn."

Fu Qian said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world and turned to Su Gao.

"Tell me your initial hypotheses first."

"This..."

Su Gao wasn't completely stunned and quietly shared a few ideas.

"Learn my ass!"

At this moment, the Buzz Cut Man finally couldn't hold back and roared.

He had found this kid annoying for a long time.

Not to mention that he appeared out of nowhere but made everyone listen to him.

To delay the spread of the Curse, their group had no choice but to become butchers, killing their own kind.

This guy actually had the mood to mess around here.

Furious power gathered in his palm, and the Buzz Cut Man truly had killing intent this time.

However, before he could step forward, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

He spun around abruptly, and an Air Bullet grazed his neck.

At the same time, blood splattered as his entire left eye was destroyed by another Air Bullet.

Everyone froze on the spot.

This guy actually attacked without any warning, and he was even aiming to kill.

He was tricked, this guy really had a problem!

Completely ignoring the thoughts of the group, Fu Qian, after attacking the Buzz Cut Man, unhesitatingly locked onto the Captain and fired three Air Bullets in rapid succession.

At such close range, the Captain had no way to dodge.

The next moment, a sharp, piercing explosion sounded.

The Captain's body erupted with a burst of electric light, so bright it almost instantly blinded anyone who looked at it.

This ball of electricity slammed squarely into Fu Qian.

Fu Qian felt as if his body had instantly turned to liquid.

[Containment Failed]

So strong!

He really brought a Great Killer Weapon with him.

Back in the warehouse, Fu Qian removed his work ID from his neck without any hesitation.

Just because Su Gao didn't have time for something didn't mean he didn't.

From the moment he'd started questioning her, he'd decided he was going to start over, which was why he hadn't hesitated when the Buzz Cut Man made his move.

As for why he'd attacked the Captain, it was pure common sense.

In such a dangerous situation, the Captain still hesitated to give the order to retreat, and Fu Qian instinctively felt he had something to rely on.

Those three bullets were just a quick test.

It seemed his judgment was correct; the Captain did indeed carry a Great Killer Weapon, which was how that electric light that instantly killed him had been produced.

This was definitely good news; it would surely come in handy when dealing with the boss later.

Fu Qian wouldn't underestimate anything that could be called an Evil God's Progeny.

Back home, he immediately found paper and a pen.

After closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, he began to write, recreating the content from the notebook.

Memorizing and reciting meaningless characters was incredibly difficult, especially ensuring there were no mistakes.

By the time he finished reciting everything, even Fu Qian, who usually considered his memory exceptional, felt like he was about to have a stroke.

So that's how Huang Yaoshi's wife died!

While sighing, Fu Qian began the arduous work of deciphering.

With his wide range of hobbies, he was something of an amateur in this field.

However, he wasn't a professional, and without Su Gao's hints, deciphering something like this would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Now that he had a direction, the workload was greatly reduced.

Even so, it was several hours later by the time he made some headway.

[...Amidst the prostration of ten thousand followers, descending into the depths of the earth...]

After a long while, Fu Qian looked at what he held in his hands and put his work ID back on.

[Entering Containment Scene, Current Sanity Value: 27]

"The current situation has exceeded our understanding."

"Let's stop here—"

When everyone arrived in the hall this time, Fu Qian didn't even give the Old Man a chance to take out the notebook. He interrupted the argument directly and looked at the Captain with a serious expression.

"Is there a very deep space here?"

"A very deep space?"

The Captain frowned, not understanding Fu Qian's intention.

"Under the embrace of ten thousand followers, descending into the depths of the earth."

Fu Qian pointed forward, looking confident.

"This is a ritual, and the two sentences I just recited are the key steps of the ritual."

"An evil entity will descend into the depths of the earth, and we need to find it as soon as possible."

In fact, Fu Qian wasn't sure if those two sentences meant exactly that, but to get these people to follow his lead, he had to maintain a professional image.

"I'm not familiar enough with this place, so I need to confirm with you if there's such a location here?"

This...

The few of them exchanged glances.

"Yes."

At this moment, Su Gao, who had been silent, spoke.

She pointed downwards.

"Dozens of meters below this building is a high-security underground vault where many people store their valuables."

You even know about this!

Fu Qian secretly marveled.

Normally, places like that aren't cheap. Sister, you seem to be quite wealthy.

"Do you know how to get down?"

"I do."

Su Gao was a true heroine among women. After answering, she drew her saber with a swish.

The next moment, a flash of steel cut through the swarm of Maggot People on one side, carving out a path.

Su Gao took the lead, walking ahead.

Of course, her sharp and peerless saber strike inevitably disturbed the Maggot People all over the ground.

With grating hums, the Maggot People turned their direction, gathering toward them steadily and slowly.

Fortunately, they were indeed slow enough.

By the time everyone, led by Su Gao, opened a descending escalator, the entrance to the escalator was already surrounded by densely packed, twisted bodies.

As the escalator entrance closed.

Fu Qian noticed the Old Man sighing silently.

He could completely understand why this cautious brother must be hating himself right now.

To be honest, he rather wished the group had gone berserk and put on a show up there, which would have earned him at least a good number of kills.

But doing so would have definitely wasted a lot of time and likely delayed the mission's completion.

Besides, these four people clearly hadn't truly lost their minds yet.

The downward passage was almost completely dark. After walking for an unknown duration, light finally appeared ahead.

At the same time, a heavy stench assaulted their senses.

"Prepare yourselves!"

There was no need for the Captain to give the order; everyone automatically entered combat readiness.

It seemed they had found the right place.

Fu Qian followed behind Su Gao, sidestepping through a massive metal door—

The scene inside the room was practically rated R.
