In the same building, in the meeting room on the fifth floor, Han Dongming was currently in a terrible state.
The necromancy players who were making a ruckus outside did not leave. They continued to cause trouble and clamored for them to release Fang Heng.
Release Fang Heng? They had never taken him at all.
Even if Fang Heng was really in their hands, Han Dongming would never let him go just because of this.
This was a matter of face.
Since when did the Central Federation’s investigation team need permission from the players of the Necromancer a.s.sociation to carry out special investigation missions?
If they let him go this time, how could they continue the investigation in the future?
How could they continue their work after letting him go?
“Who is the leader outside? Have you investigated thoroughly?”
The subordinate replied, “Someone deliberately leaked the news. It’ll take some time to find the source.”
“What about the Necromancer a.s.sociation? There are so many people blocking the way outside, and they don’t care?”
“We’ve already protested to the Necromancer a.s.sociation, but they’re still in a three-way meeting with the Holy Court and the Federation to discuss the issue of the missing Saintess. The few people in charge of the research a.s.sociation are currently in seclusion to reinforce the magic array. They’re ignoring us…”
As he spoke, another investigator hurriedly entered the room and whispered a few words into Han Dongming’s ear.
Han Dongming’s expression changed drastically when he heard this.
D*mn it!
The members of the Holy Court that he had hidden in the evidence room had been discovered!
“Does the Necromancer a.s.sociation know about this?”
“Not yet.”
“Quick, let them take the things and leave first. Don’t make a sound.”
“Yes, sir!”
Fortunately, the people from the Necromancer a.s.sociation didn’t notice this.
Perhaps they had found out, but they did not make a sound.
Han Dongming took a deep breath. He had a feeling that someone was manipulating everything!
Was the person who stole the Origin Stone from the Necromancer a.s.sociation?
To act as a warning?
He knew that Viona had more than one stone. Losing a piece was actually not that important.
Han Dongming felt that the situation was strange and said in a deep voice, “What did they say? Did they see who the attacker was?”
“It’s said that the attacker was extremely powerful and proficient in some kind of illusion. The three members of the Holy Court fell into the illusion and didn’t see the attacker clearly. However, the attacker didn’t kill them or destroy the magic array. He only took the Origin Stone. Therefore, the members of the Holy Court suspect that this attack was a warning from the Necromancer a.s.sociation.”
“Hmm… Illusion…”
Han Dongming hummed lightly and could not help but feel a headache coming on.
Illusion?
In most people’s understanding, illusions were an extremely difficult cultivation system.
One could be ridiculously weak in the early stages but ridiculously strong in the late stages.
It was impossible to guard against it, and if one was not careful, one would fall into the illusion and be controlled.
Who could it be?
Suddenly, Han Dongming realized that something was wrong. He turned his head and looked out the window.
He had a strange feeling.
Did the group of troublemakers outside have anything to do with this?
…
The farce lasted until late at night. It only ended when Teacher Pu Shi finished reinforcing the magic array and rushed over to berate everyone.
Teacher Pu Shi was closely related to the Federation. He could be considered a person nurtured by the Federation and had some relationship with the Federation.
However, he did not have a good impression of the people of the Central Federation.
When he left, he only glanced at Han Dongming and the others from afar, his eyes carrying a warning.
Han Dongming’s face alternated between green and white. He knew that someone was plotting behind the scenes, but they were not in the right to hide the people of the Holy Court, so they could not do anything.
Han Dongming was not even sure if the Necromancer a.s.sociation was behind the disappearance of the Origin Stone.
“Captain, do we still need to continue investigating?”
“Investigate, of course! Keep investigating!”
“What about the rest of the people we’ve invited to investigate? The Eastern Federation has already protested to us, hoping that we will release them immediately.”
“Let them go. If we can’t catch Fang Heng, what’s the use of catching these people? Lock them up for a while longer and release them after 24 hours.”
“Yes.”
At the same time, Fang Heng had already returned to the game. He had repacked the incense ashes and entered Punoze for quite a while.
The three newly branded undead Bones leaders obediently stood at the corner of the wall.
The game notifications kept flashing on Fang Heng’s retina.
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone spirit imprint failed…]
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone has successfully completed the branding of the undead Bones (leader). The creature’s level is too high…]
After a period of testing, Fang Heng had a rough idea in his heart.
Including the time that Ji Xiaobo had to rest to control the holy weapon, the black pot, he would be able to brand a single undead Bones in less than half an hour.
After successfully branding three undead Bones leaders, Ji Xiaobo stopped and prepared to rest and recover his energy. He also started to add incense ash as fuel into the black pot.
When he heard Fang Heng say that he had led the fight with the Central Federation in the Necromancer a.s.sociation, Ji Xiaobo was instantly excited. He wished he could be there to help out when they attacked the Central Federation building.
“Oh? The people from the Holy Court sneaked in and set up a magic array in our territory?”
“Heh, I knew that those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Central Federation wouldn’t come to our side for anything good.”
Ji Xiaobo cursed in a low voice, but he didn’t feel satisfied. He raised his head and asked, “But Brother Fang, what use do we have for that Origin Stone?”
While Ji Xiaobo was resting, Fang Heng was still observing the great sword in the middle of the cave.
A great sword used for sealing…
What was it?
What was the source of the shady line?
And where did the underground crack lead to…
“Brother Fang, Brother Fang?”
Fang Heng heard Ji Xiaobo’s shout and came back to his senses. He turned to look at Ji Xiaobo and nodded, “Hmm?”
“Brother Fang, why did you take the Origin Stone? Can you reveal the reason?”
Fang Heng turned to look at Ji Xiaobo and nodded, “Hmm, since the Holy Court is destined to be uncooperative, why don’t we just kill Viona and complete the talent advancement mission? However, this way, it’s very likely that we’ll have a direct battle with the Holy Court, so we have to be extra careful and prepare more backup plans.”
Ji Xiaobo’s face lit up.
As expected, he wanted to deal with Viona!
That would be great!
He had long wanted to make a move.
He wasn’t afraid of a direct battle.
“So, Brother Fang, you already have a plan? Right?”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng turned his head again and looked at the great holy sword in the middle of the cave.
He did have a plan.
It was not so easy to get a taste of the holy realm’s Saintess. If he was not careful, he would lose the whole game.
He had to be 200% prepared.
The undead Bones was one of the preventive measures.
“I should be able to suppress Viona for a while with the help of the undead Bones.”
Now that he had Viona’s Origin Stone, he had a backup plan.
