The headless fat man came to Lu Li's side and raised his two palms. On each palm was a mouth, which opened and closed as if speaking something. However, all the sounds were distorted and became indescribable. Then, the entire space-time changed completely, and the headless fat man disappeared completely.

"Y'golonac?" Lu Li murmured the name. This was also a great being. According to some ancient records, the true form of the being was unknown. However, legend has it that he was imprisoned behind a brick wall in an unnamed ruin, and what appeared to humans was merely a fragment of his spirit.

One of the more famous images is the headless fat man that Lu Li saw before. This being's behavior and habits are similar to Nyar's, but even more twisted and brutal. Some people believe that this being is also one of Nyar's Avatar.

A pale blue flame enveloped Lu Li, causing some dangerous elements to diminish and disappear beneath it. He recalled the footsteps from before and the frequency with which Igoronak's mouth opened and closed on his hands Y'golonac, and derived an information formula.

Lu Li squinted and walked forward. However, Lu Li's walking behavior was very strange and seemed to be completely disordered, but the spacetime environment around him began to gradually stabilize.

The information that Y'golonac conveyed to him was some of the patterns of change in this spacetime environment. Based on these patterns, and with the Three Visions that Lu Li had developed himself, he was gradually able to move around a little more normally in this chaotic spacetime.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the gray mist that was floating throughout the space was starting to dissipate slowly, and the entire spacetime was becoming more chaotic. If an ordinary person were to enter this place, after a while, they would become mentally unstable due to the completely chaotic spacetime. In severe cases, their own life structure might even be Mutation, turning them into a kind of vengeful spirit living in the cracks.

Lu Li kept moving, advancing, retreating, turning left, jumping up, and even occasionally falling backward or forward. However, if the space were restored to normal, it would be found that Lu Li was slowly moving forward in the same direction.

Taking the eyeball given to him by Black Face from his pocket, Lu Li sensed it briefly, and the blue flames on his body surged violently. Then, as if transformed into light, he jumped out of that space and entered a relatively stable underground space.

This space seemed to be underground. Lu Li was currently in a passage that was three meters high and wide. There were some lamps burning on the walls on both sides of the passage. The passage was not a straight line, but had a slight curve, so you could not see the end when you looked to either side.

Lu Li squinted and activated his Past Sight. He saw that information from the past was gradually being fed into Lu Li mind through this passage, recreating past scenes in Lu Li mind like a black and white silent film.

First, a lot of blurry images floated by, and there was even a blackout period in the middle. Then the images gradually became clearer. For example, Old Hu from the Countermeasure Bureau had run through this passage. Lu Li also saw an acquaintance who wasn't very familiar with Old Hu, Zhao Qiansun from before.

Besides them, there were seven or eight other people who ran together to the other side of the passage. Then the scene drifted, and in the end, only Old Hu, carrying a toad, and the seriously injured Zhao Qiansun ran back.

Lu Li then saw a large number of people from the Countermeasure Bureau arrive here with various instruments. They made some modifications to the place and took measures such as disinfection to eliminate various factors. After a number of people were sacrificed, large numbers of people would come here every once in a while.

The scene continued to move forward until recently, when the colors became increasingly bright and realistic. Lu Li saw the scene that had suddenly appeared before him, clearly the past was gone.

Lu Li refocused his eyes, shook his head, and freed himself from the chaotic senses of the Past Sight. It wasn't hard to guess that some kind of supernatural event had occurred here a long time ago. Judging from the fact that this passage existed before Old Hu appeared here, it was very likely something done by a religious group.

Lu Li squinted, his pupils dilating instantly as he activated his Present Sight, observing the events unfolding at the same speed as his own. A flood of information rushed into Lu Li's mind, causing two streams of blood to flow from his nose. Lu Li quickly closed his eyes, and two streams of bloody tears slowly rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

Taking out a tissue he carried with him, Lu Li wiped the blood clean, exhaled, and walked into the passage. The mark on his right palm continuously released blue flames, and the twenty-seven black runes connected the Life-Death Interstice, absorbing the power of the dead and alleviating the pain in his body.

You Qiying unleashed his inner demons with all his might, tightly concealing himself and daring not to reveal even the slightest trace of his aura. He didn't even dare to look up in that direction, fearing that his gaze would attract the attention of those people.

He was currently in a small underground city, where some people were adding various runes to different buildings in various corners of the city. The entire city seemed to follow a special pattern, progressing layer by layer, except that there was a huge altar in the center of the city.

Above the altar was a huge stone gate, exactly the same as the one he had passed through at the bottom of the lake, only much larger. The things inside the gate were covered and blocked by a mass of unknown material, making the area pitch black, and even the light from this side was much dimmer.

Beside the stone gate are various instruments. Some instruments extract something from the stone gate, and the extracted object is immediately wrapped in a special box. Other instruments emit something towards the stone gate, causing stone flowers to grow continuously on it. Special personnel, fully protected, collect and preserve these stone flowers by the stone gate.

In addition, there were many people wearing Countermeasure Bureau uniforms standing not far from the door, each doing their own thing, all trying to weaken the seal on the stone door.

The eyeball in You Qiying's hand was burning hot, reminding him that his mission would be complete once he threw it into the world behind the stone door. However, he also knew that there was no chance now. His senses were flashing wildly, reminding him of the danger those people posed.

Sometimes the door would tremble violently, as if something inside wanted to come out. The people would then exert all their strength to suppress the stone door's reaction. Gradually, the stone door's reaction would become weaker and weaker. Given enough time, they could slowly and completely suppress the stone door.

Every so often, the personnel here are rotated. Those who are rotated out undergo psychological assessments and counseling, and also need to rest and recover their energy quickly. A large number of personnel are stationed throughout the underground city to maintain the city and seal the stone gate.
