This simplification is outrageous

After the smoke cleared, Qiao Yuan looked inside.

The darkness inside could not block Qiao Yuan's sight, and everywhere he looked was desolate and dead.

But...with just one glance at Qiao Yuan, he saw the well in the middle.

The familiar spirit well!

"It's Lingjing!" The insider said in surprise.

……

Unlike the stone well in my secret realm, this well is made of bronze vessels as a whole, which looks a bit old.

This spiritual well was found like this?

Why is there no sense of gain in my heart?

Qiao Yuan stepped across the gate and took the first step!

In an instant, I felt the temperature drop suddenly, and a biting cold feeling shot up from the soles of my feet.

At this temperature, awakened people below the fourth level will undoubtedly die!

"Here... there is no spiritual energy!" The voice of an insider suddenly sounded.

"What?" Qiao Yuan frowned.

"There is no aura here, not at all!" The insider's expression was moved, unbelievable, and then he seemed to think of something, and said it quickly.

"The concentration of spiritual energy in the secret territory varies from high to low. Even if there is an abnormality in a certain place, the concentration of spiritual energy is lower than that of the outside world, it is not impossible!"

"But if there is a place without spiritual energy in the secret territory, and it is near the source of the spiritual well, it can only prove one thing!"

"This secret realm is heading towards death!"

As soon as this remark came out, Qiao Yuan raised his brows, and he remembered the secret realm where the ghost of Hades was.

Death Secret Realm!

Tomb of the Awakened!

In it, every second the awakened person stays in, the strength in the body will be weakened by one point.

And here... is actually a secret place of death.

Quickly coming to the spiritual well, Qiao Yuan looked down, and sure enough... there was no spiritual liquid in it!

This spiritual well is dry!

……

The insider behind gritted his teeth and came over, looked at Lingjing repeatedly, and finally said, "I think I know what's going on!"

"Someone must have used some means to cause a change in the secret realm and complete the burst of spiritual energy. This is why the concentration of spiritual energy outside this small secret realm is so high!"

"In this way, the problem of the spiritual fruit can also be explained. At the cost of the complete withering of the spiritual well, this secret realm was made into a one-time secret realm."

Qiao Yuan thought about it and found it quite reasonable, but there were still many doubts in it.

People in the know don't know that the source of the spiritual fruit is related to the seeds. Even if the spiritual energy bursts, causing the concentration of the spiritual energy to rise in a short period of time, why is the way the spiritual fruit appears different from the normal spiritual fruit birth method?

Awakened people are needed to become seeds here!

unless……

The insider on the side went on to say: "After much deliberation, there is only one thing that can be done."

Having said that, the two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Strange thing!"

It is impossible to influence a secret realm with the power of the awakened person alone, at least the two of them have never heard of it.

But if there is the influence of weird things, it will be much more normal!

……

Soon the two discovered another situation.

Not far from the dry spiritual well, a corpse was found next to a broken bronze pillar.

Wearing a yellow Taoist robe, his face was black as if poisoned, and he looked like an awakened Taoist priest.

What is his relationship with the murderer who caused the Lingjing to wither?

Scan your mental power.

In the pocket of his clothes, Qiao Yuan found something very interesting. There was a box related to his scabbard.

It is also a material that blocks weird things.

Stretching out his hand, he found a small square tin box. Just as Qiao Yuan was about to open it, he was stopped by an insider.

"Don't use violence!"

"let me see!"

After receiving the iron box, the person in the know watched it repeatedly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief as if he had confirmed something.

"This is a special secret box made by the Security Bureau. It looks like an ordinary iron box on the surface, but as long as someone opens it forcibly, it will explode!"

"It's not powerful, but it's enough to destroy the contents inside!"

"This kind of box is usually carried by some awakened people who are carrying out secret missions. It seems... this Taoist priest was carrying out a secret mission, and finally died here by accident. There must be important information in the box!"

Qiao Yuan: "Can you open it?"

In the dim palace, the insider pushed his eyes and showed a smile.

"Except for the city chief of the Security Bureau, other people know very little about this kind of thing, and I happen to know how to open it!"

"But this way of opening has been leaked, I will go in and drink tea!"

Qiao Yuan nodded, then turned his back to the insider with interest.

Those in the know stayed away from Qiao Yuan and came to a corner to start operations.

……

Qiao Yuan: "..."

Is it necessary to defend yourself so much?

What about the basic principles of trust between people?

Qiao Yuan shook his head, then started the mental power scan to capture every move of the insider.

Then...he clearly saw the whole process of cracking.

It is indeed complicated!

The origin of this insider is quite mysterious, although the two of them are getting along well in the secret realm, but so far, I don't know his real name.

Like the rookie king of the Hunter Alliance, they are only called by nicknames, and their real names have been kept hidden.

I also tried to inquire about it through the Security Bureau, but the result I got was to keep it secret.

It's like knowing the name will cause trouble!

The operation of this insider today made Qiao Yuan more certain that his identity must be related to the Security Bureau, otherwise, most people would definitely not know this kind of secret.

……

"Forgive me, I promised the person who taught me not to leak it."

"it's good now!"

The insider came over with the box and took out another small box from it.

It was the box that blocked Qiao Yuan's spiritual investigation.

Open the second box, and a letter appears in front of you.

"Poverty and incompetent, ashamed of the entrustment of the headquarters, injured by the people in the laboratory with strange things, time is running out..."

There are not many words, but after reading it, the expressions of the people in the know changed instantly, and their hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Qiao...Qiao Yuan, we seem to be in serious trouble, we have to get out of here quickly!"

"look……"

This time, his voice started to tremble.

Qiao Yuan glanced over curiously, and his brows jumped wildly!

……

In the letter, this awakened Taoist priest is carrying out a secret operation, the purpose is to track down a director of the laboratory!

Qiao Yuanduan has dropped by many laboratory strongholds, so he is relatively clear about the basic structure inside the laboratory.

The bottom one is the [Experimenter] who develops a secret base in the city.

In addition to the experimenter, there is also an observer who is responsible for materials, observation, camouflage... and other aspects.

The observers are not necessarily the inner core of the experimenter, they may be the awakened ones who rely on threats, bribes, refuge...

The two complement each other, basically as long as you find these two, you can announce the removal of a laboratory stronghold.

Above these experimenters, the one with a higher status is the awakened person known as the "director".

Multiple experimenters led by these directors!

The number of experimenters under a director is uncertain, and the Security Bureau does not know how many "directors" there are in the laboratory

The only thing that is certain is that the leader of these experimenters, that is, the director, is at least at the sixth level!

The seventh step is not without it!

……

The owner of the letter, that is, the Taoist priest, accepted the entrustment of the headquarters, sneaked into the laboratory secretly, and approached one of the directors of the laboratory step by step.

As long as you get important information, you can catch them all!

The loss of a few strongholds in the laboratory is a trivial matter, which can be cultivated and replenished at any time, but if a director is lost, it will be a big deal.

In the process of tracking, the two parties accidentally came to Sifang City by boat on the Liusha River, and were accidentally sucked into it.

Then the Taoist priest discovered the director's secret and was brutally silenced.

And this secret is related to promotion to the seventh rank!

Awakened people below the fourth level need psychic liquid or a substitute for psychic liquid—the real spiritual fruit.

Although there are few resources for these things, they are circulated in the market, but the things that break through to the seventh level can only be found in the Great Secret Realm, not to mention the scarcity of raw materials, and the only Great Secret Realm that has appeared so far is also controlled by the Security Bureau.

Neither the laboratory nor the Hunter League!

The targeted director decided to adopt an extremely risky promotion.

Use weird things to complete the promotion!

Completely merged with weird things!

……

Ordinary awakened people will be subtly affected when using weird things, let alone fully integrated.

Are such awakened people still human?

After the Taoist couldn't stop it, he wrote down the information about the weird thing and the conspiracy of the laboratory director before he died.

The director polluted the spiritual well of the secret realm with strange things, prompting it to erupt, attracting many awakened ones.

Invisible tricks, black smoke, spiritual fruits, hawkers...these are all caused by weird things.

Strange things have affected everything here, making spiritual fruits grow from buried seeds.

It creates invisible tricks and affects hawkers!

And in the last sentence of the letter, it clearly wrote down the most important function of this weird thing.

[The biggest function of this weird thing is pollution!It can pollute the aura, and the life and death of any awakened person who absorbs the aura in the secret realm will be controlled!Remember!Remember! 】

……

"It's over, this matter has exploded!" The people in the know here were desperate.
