Chapter 1553 - 1553 New Traces
1553 New Traces
“On the other hand, as people’s understanding of the occult deepened, a series of organizational departments, such as the Occult Joint Committee and the Corruption Arbitrator Council, were established at the official level.”
“The former deals with all matters related to the occult while the latter focuses on dealing with corrupted life forms and the spread of pollution. The responsibilities of the two departments overlap.”
“In fact, there are many similar departments. These are all set up by the governments of various countries to deal with corruption. Their size, power, and overall strength are related to the strength of each country. There are big and small ones. The world has also set up a global committee for occult investigations, but the global committee can only make some overall arrangements. They have very little control over the local areas, and their symbolic significance is far greater than their actual use.”
Fang Heng nodded to show that he understood and asked, “Lastly, what about the Fallen Ones?”
“Being corrupted, obeying the call of the corruption, becoming the servant of the abyss of h.e.l.l, they are known as the Fallen Ones.”
Yu Jiayuan said softly, “I heard that demons, evil spirits, and other creatures of h.e.l.l have the ability to pollute. It’s the same for demonic seeds. Moreover, the ability of demonic seeds is extremely powerful. As the strength of demonic seeds awakens, the power of the Fallen Ones under them will gradually increase.”
Fang Heng frowned, trying to sort out his thoughts based on the information provided by Yu Jiayuan.
According to what Yu Jiayuan said, there was no enmity between the Revolution Society and the demonic seed.
Then, why did the Revolution Society want to deal with him?
Did the Revolution Society cooperate with the Seed of Jealousy?
Fang Heng was deep in thought when he saw a man in a windbreaker walk into the cafe and quickly walk up to Fang Heng.
“Fang Heng.”
Luo Xu nodded at Fang Heng, then looked at Yu Jiayuan, who was sitting opposite him.
“Okay, sit down.”
Luo Yu moved his chair and sat opposite Fang Heng.
“I just checked as you said. There’s a power plant in the northern part of the Brickruder District, and there’s a relatively weak magnetic field interference around it. I’ve already sent people over there to think of a way to control the power plant to increase the magnetic field effect. In addition, the believers of the Holy Court have also been arranged. They can be transferred at any time.”
“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”
Fang Heng was ready to use the spatial teleportation hub again before leaving.
The magnetic field could slightly reduce the negative effects brought by the spatial teleportation channel. It was best not to cause such a big commotion like last time.
Even though it might not be effective.
Fang Heng asked Luo Xu, “By the way, I’ve never asked why the Revolution Society is after me.”
Luo Xu glanced at Yu Jiayuan, who was beside him, and nodded as he explained.
“The Revolution Society is different from the Conservatives. They have chosen to cooperate deeply with the demons of the abyss of h.e.l.l. The Tongues of Jealousy, Essekelina, is extremely powerful. She can’t really descend into this world. She can only influence this world through certain methods, extracting strength from this world continuously.”
“The Revolution Society thirsts for strength. They have cooperated with many demons and evil spirits, including the Tongues of Jealousy.”
“In fact, the first archmage Anthony opened the shackles of this world, allowing the connection between this world and h.e.l.l to become extremely close. This allowed the efficiency of various demon summoning magic arrays to be greatly improved.”
Fang Heng listened and nodded in his heart.
It seemed that he had guessed correctly.
He thought of the demon imp summoning the magic array not long ago.
The success rate of a demon imp summoning a magic array was very low in this world, but in other worlds, the success rate was almost zero.
“What about you guys? What is your purpose? Aren’t you all believers of h.e.l.l? Whether you are loyal to me or to the Seed of Jealousy, it should be the same for you, right?”
Luo Xu sighed in his heart and said, “It’s different. To be more precise, we’re the servants of ‘Sloth’.”
“This world is one of the origins of the demonic seed’s strength. Because the shackles of this world have been broken, the rituals and magic arrays related to demons are easier to complete here, so it’s easier for the demonic seed to successfully descend.”
“Sloth’s demonic seed has already been controlled by Jealousy. Once Sloth is in danger, we, as Sloth’s servants, will also be implicated. Only demonic seeds can resist demonic seeds, so we’ve always been looking for new demonic seeds to resist the strength of the Tongues of Jealousy.”
Fang Heng looked at Luo Xu and roughly understood.
“Every demonic seed has its own servants. Through various forbidden powers or under the influence of the seven cardinal sins, there will always be people who will slowly be corrupted and degenerate. A large portion of the servants who were originally loyal to Sloth chose to pledge allegiance to Jealousy in order to protect themselves. The other portion, like me, is more willing to resist.”
This was the first time Yu Jiayuan had heard of such a secret, so she understood.
Luo Xu was Sloth’s servant.
Since she was able to come into contact with Luo Xu’s calling, this meant that the source of pollution in her body was the same as Luo Xu’s, Sloth.
Yu Jiayuan smiled bitterly.
She didn’t know if she was lucky or not.
The good news was that once her corruption reached the limit and she was completely corrupted, her immediate superior would not be an ordinary demon, but one of the seven great demonic seeds!
As for the bad news…
Now, she could forget about directly eliminating the source of the pollution to clean up the pollution. It was better to rely on Fang Heng to think of a way.
“So it’s the Tongues of Jealousy…”
Fang Heng muttered to himself after listening.
The few of them were discussing softly when Luo Xu’s phone suddenly rang.
“I’m sorry, Fang Heng. It’s an emergency call. I have to take it.”
“Take it. It’s fine.”
Luo Xu turned on his phone to pick up the call. When he heard the conversation on the other end, his expression changed a few times.
“D*mn it! Are you crazy? Nuo La! Listen to me, don’t be rash!”
“Calm down! h.e.l.lo? It’s too risky for you to go there now…”
“h.e.l.lo? Hey!”
Luo Xu shouted at the phone twice. Then, he frowned and anxiously tried to call back.
Helplessly, the call did not go through.
Luo Xu put away his phone and got up to leave. He said, “Fang Heng, I’m sorry. There’s a very urgent matter that needs to be taken care of. The hotel you’re staying at is already under the control of us Fallen Ones. You’ll be safe there. I’ll be back soon after I’m done dealing with the matter there.”
Fang Heng frowned.
The Fallen Ones faction was usually dormant and developing. What was so urgent?
He reached out to pull Luo Xu, who was about to leave, and raised his head to ask, “What’s the hurry to leave?”
“It’s Nuo La. He’s the main brain of the Fallen Ones faction in the Brickruder District. We were able to find a place to stay this time because of his help. He’s in some trouble, so I need to go and find him.”
“And then? Speak clearly.”
Luo Xu was stopped by Fang Heng and had no choice but to return to his seat. He explained, “In fact, a few years ago, we found traces of another demonic seed, ‘Gluttony’.”
