Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 697 Narcissus
Lianwei Zhongyu branch, inside the main office.

The female assistant stood in front of Yang Ling. She bowed slightly and then handed over a translated telegram from the headquarters.

"Miss, the Jibei government may have already sent out personnel to search for lost items, and Lianwei Zhongyu must also be involved, so the headquarters also hopes that before our second batch of personnel arrives, the backup plan will be activated and we will take action first. This matter will be led by you, Miss."

Yang Ling took the telegram, looked at it, and said, "But to start the plan, we need a lot of high-energy nutrients. Are our previous reserves enough?"

The female assistant said: "We have prepared it in advance. Although the processing bureau has strengthened the blockade and confiscated some of it on the pretext, those are what we prepared in advance to deal with the review. Before that, the company has stored enough for our operation."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yang Ling, as if waiting for her to give a positive response.

Lamb whispered, "I will do as planned."

The female assistant didn't say anything else. She bowed to her again, walked forward and took the telegram from her hand, then left with the same expression on her face as when she came.

After she left, Yang Ling came to the desk, opened a drawer, took out a box of medicine, and then walked into the elevator set up just for her.

She waited for the elevator to descend floor by floor, and finally arrived at the underground hall. She walked out, and the sound of her footsteps was very clear in this empty and dim underground space.

She walked all the way to the porcelain jar that held the active consciousness embryo. She pointed at the boundary and waited for a while. Immediately, a large amount of high-energy nutrient solution that flashed with fluorescence flowed out from the blood vessels connected to the jar and was then input into it.

Although this active consciousness body is only an embryo, after being modulated, it can be ripened with a large amount of high-energy nutrient solution. Although it is impossible to achieve a complete body, it can be supplemented by another means, so that it can reach the combat effectiveness that an active consciousness body should have.

Although this will weaken the vitality and potential of the active consciousness, the purpose of the head office is for the relics. Compared with the third-level relics, the cost of an active consciousness is certainly worth it.

Yang Ling took out the box of medicine and opened it. She took out a thumb-sized red pill from it and swallowed it. After only a few seconds, she felt dizzy, her breathing became rapid, and all kinds of strange noises began to come in her ears.

A strange scene appeared in front of her eyes. At that moment, the huge porcelain jar in front of her seemed to disappear, and there seemed to be a young fish without scales but with smooth skin and limbs in it. At this moment, it was raising its conical head and staring at her. But after a moment, the scene quickly disappeared, and everything returned to its previous state.

It was just this spiritual resonance that made her feel like vomiting. She covered her mouth, took a few steps forward, and then put her hand on the porcelain jar.

As more high-energy nutrient solution was pumped into it, light slowly began to emit from the jar. After an unknown amount of time had passed, some movement was heard from inside the porcelain jar, and then a strange organism was seen slowly crawling out from the opening at the top.

At first glance, this organism seems to be a fish, almost three meters long from head to tail, with slender but powerful limbs under the belly, a head slightly smaller than the body, and concave ear holes on both sides. The overall shape is streamlined, with a smooth surface, hard texture, blue-black color all over, and exuding a flowing luster.

Just when it took a deep breath, a neon-like fluorescent light flashed on its skin, the light was relatively soft, and after it came out, it was still connected to the blood vessels that transported high-energy nutrients, and at this moment, it shook slightly and disconnected them. Then it climbed down the wall of the porcelain jar lightly and silently.

Yang Ling still had her eyes closed at this time, as if the effect of the medicine had still made her consciousness blurry.

After circling her, the thing slowly came close to her, then its ribs slowly opened, revealing an internal cavity with white soft tissue, and long tendrils stretched out and fell on her body and limbs, some of which pierced into her skin.

Yang Ling was a little more sober at this time. She raised her hand to look at the whiskers on her hand, then looked at the scene reflected on the smooth surface of the porcelain jar. She did not look back, but took a deep breath, opened her arms, leaned back, entered the body of the thing, and stuck to the soft tissues.

Then she saw the opened ribs slowly close and wrap around herself completely, and at this moment, she felt that the two bodies and consciousnesses suddenly established a unified connection, as if they were instantly combined into one, and she seemed to have a powerful body with incomparable vitality in an instant.

This active consciousness body "Narcissus" controlled by Lian Weizhong, once combined with a person like her who has compatible spiritual power, can exert extremely strong combat power, and both sides can gain strength from each other.

Yang Ling adapted herself a little and naturally let the body form a posture with limbs on the ground. Those limbs seemed to have grown out of her body naturally and there was no sense of sluggishness in controlling them.

She controlled her body and took a few light steps forward, landing almost silently, and she felt that she could move freely on the walls and ceiling.

At this moment, the strands of colorful whiskers on her chin moved, as if she sensed something. This was her field perception organ, which could clearly receive and inquire about information from the outside world.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps coming from above. After noticing it, the fin-like thing on her back, like a ribbon, moved, and the color on her body slowly faded and became lighter, as if blending into the air.

"Narcissus" has a strong stealth function, which can greatly improve the ability to survive in the fusion area, because the primary goal after entering the fusion area is not to defeat the strong enemy, but to survive first.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The female assistant walked down. She looked at the broken blood vessels outside the porcelain jar, walked over, stepped on the steel structure platform and took a look inside. She found that it was empty.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel something. She looked up and saw that in the empty place, a streamlined head like an eagle or a fish slowly emerged in front of her, and then the whole body appeared, and the pair of green narrow eyes in front were staring at her.

Far from being afraid, she revealed a fanatical look and said, "Miss, have you succeeded in the fusion?" Soon, a spiritual consciousness was transmitted to her realm.

"Yes."

The female assistant changed her usual indifference and showed an extremely excited look. She bowed and said, "Director Yang will definitely be very pleased to see that Miss is so compatible."

"I need to eat."

"Eating?"

The female assistant straightened up, with a strange light in her eyes.

"Everything has been prepared long ago."

Two days later, October 3rd.

At seven o'clock in the morning, a small sightseeing airship flew out from the port of Jiyang District as usual and stopped high above the open sea.

Chen Chuan stood in the cabin of the airship. He raised the Xuejun Sword high and slashed forward. In an instant, a crack was cut open, and a dazzling light immediately overflowed from it.

In the past few days, he asked Xue Jundao to absorb the remaining high-energy nutrients. Now the existence of the rift can easily reach more than four hours.

This means that he can spend the entire morning practicing.

However, as Xue Jundao grows, he can actually last longer if he wants. The reason why it is not that long is that if the gap exists for longer, it may attract things on the opposite side. If it is not handled carefully, the crack may be exposed, which is inefficient.

So the current situation seems just right.

He sat down where he was, placed the Xuejun Knife beside him, and began his spiritual practice for the day.

Four hours passed in a flash, and just when the practice was about to end, he suddenly felt a chill, and there seemed to be a vague shadow swaying on the other side of the crack, and at the same time, some violent virtual waves appeared on the second me.

In fact, he had seen many such scenes in recent days, but what came today seemed a little unusual.

He stood up holding the Xuejun Knife and looked ahead intently. Suddenly, it seemed as if an invisible object suddenly hit the crack, and the crack that was originally shrinking seemed to stop closing.

He stared and could feel something pushing out from inside, but there was nothing in his sight, and it cast a distorted shadow on the ground.

"Qiang..."

He pulled the Xuejun Sword out of its scabbard. Before the scabbard fell to the ground, he raised the sword and slashed forward, instantly chopping on the crack!

But after he slashed with the sword, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. His eyes flashed, and his spiritual power surged out and slashed along the original gap.

The knife cut through the top of the crack, and when the knife's momentum ended, it fell exactly at the end of the crack. When the knife light passed, the crack that originally existed also disappeared, as if it was wiped out from the air like an eraser.

The invisible existence under his feet also disappeared, leaving only slight traces of burning and corrosion on the ground where the shadow had fallen, proving that it had been there.

Chen Chuan maintained the posture for a moment, and looked at the Xuejun Knife in his hand again.

It seems that this knife can do more than just cut the cracks, it can also fill the cracks instead of letting them close on their own, but he was not strong enough before, so he couldn't do it. But it makes sense, the split offspring of the mother can easily do this, not to mention the things in the knife whose origins are even more unpredictable.

He felt slightly excited. If this was the case, then the space that could be used and manipulated would be much larger than before.
