1525 Awakening “There’s no hurry. Don’t alert the enemy first. A group of investigators have already disguised themselves as poor people and entered the slums to investigate. I believe there will be results soon.” Swoosh!! Ruan Ziying, who was looking out the window, was stunned. She suddenly saw a red light appear in the middle of the slums in the distance. “Eh? That’s…” Ruan Ziying was about to speak. “Boom!!!” A loud boom sound came from afar, and the car that was slowly driving jolted violently. What the hell! Shan Fucai slammed on the brakes aggressively and stopped the car. He stuck his head out of the window and looked out. In the distance, in the direction of the slums, a red pillar of light shot into the sky! The pillar of light seemed to connect heaven and earth as it pierced through the void. One could not see the end at a glance. Ruan Ziying was shocked. She looked at the pillar of light and was speechless. Could it be… Was that pillar of light also created by Fang Heng? Shan Fucai quickly shook the communicator on the seat and shouted, “What’s going on? Is there anyone who knows?! All teams, report the situation!” “An unknown pillar of light has been discovered in the slums. Team A is heading there to investigate.” The communicator was soon filled with loud talking voices. “Attention, all units. Traces of extremely high levels of pollution have been detected in the slums.” “An explosion occurred in the slums. It’s suspected to be related to Fang Heng. We have adjusted the danger level of Fang Heng to SSS! Warning! The moment you meet Fang Heng, you are allowed to subdue him using any method!” “Attention, we have detected power fluctuations. We are searching for the source of the fluctuations. Attention! Requesting backup!” “Chi, chi chi…” All of a sudden, the entire communication channel was disrupted by electricity, and the sounds became intermittent. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 “D*mn it!” Shan Fucai slammed the steering wheel hard and stepped on the accelerator, chasing after the pillar of light in the slums. … [Hint: The player’s unknown strength has been awakened.] [Hint: The player’s hidden bloodline has awakened: Elementary demon bloodline.] [Hint: Your original skill-unknown bloodline has been deleted.] [Hint: Your elementary demon bloodline is currently at Level 1.] [Hint: There is no conflict between the vampire bloodline and the demon bloodline.

There is a chance to cause the target to be contaminated and quickly enter a corrupted state (this state is related to the attributes of both parties). In the second basement of the dilapidated church, Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils a scarlet red. His vision was also red, and he could only see the game hints quickly flashing across his retina. Demon bloodline… The unknown bloodline in his body…? It was actually related to demons! For a moment, Fang Heng felt that his thoughts were a little chaotic. Demons… So the pollution in this world was also related to demons? Thinking back carefully, the first time he discovered the existence of an unknown bloodline in his body was during the Vampire Apocalypse. Back then, he and Mo Jiawei had completed a relatively troublesome mission together and wanted to get a demon hunter bloodline. Then, he failed in the demon hunter bloodline inheritance ritual and even activated the unknown bloodline in his body. So the so-called unknown bloodline was the demon bloodline. Demons and demon hunters… It would be strange if these two bloodlines were not in conflict! But when did the demon bloodline appear in his body? Was it related to the special ritual in his memory? So he was already bound to the demon bloodline before he entered the game for the first time? Was there a connection between the demon bloodline and the occult mark on his forehead? Fang Heng felt like there were ten thousand question marks in his mind. “Boom!” Fang Heng fell heavily to the ground from mid-air and struggled out of the red in front of him. The pain gradually woke him up from the blood-red illusion. Fang Heng propped himself up and looked around. The entire hall seemed to have suffered a violent impact. Looking up, there was a huge hole in the ceiling that directly penetrated the roof of the outside world. A large area around it was eroded by the explosive strength and completely flattened. It seemed like…Did an explosion occur just now? Where was he? What about Yu Jiayuan and the bishop? Fang Heng looked around but did not find any traces of Yu Jiayuan and Gan Honghua. It seemed that the explosion this time was much weaker than the one in the Holy Mountain. It did not cause a large-scale collapse, and the impact was limited. Fang Heng tried to sense his sea of consciousness again. This was troublesome. The pollution had not been completely removed! After Gan Honghua’s ritual, there was only a small area of pollution in his sea of consciousness. [Hint: The player’s sea of consciousness is affected by an unknown pollution effect. Current pollution level: 0.0001%. Under the current state, affected by the player’s various attribute skills and other effects, the estimated total pollution time is 58,276 days, 11 hours and 3 minutes (time may be shortened or extended due to external influences of the player)…] More than 50,000 days. There were still more than 150 years left before the infection… As Fang Heng pondered, a line of scarlet game hints appeared in his retina. [Warning: A powerful strength has sensed your presence. Please be careful.] Fang Heng’s brows were tightly knitted together, and his thoughts were once again drawn to the past. Powerful strength? Who was it referring to? Combining everything he had seen and heard since entering Watts, Fang Heng had already roughly pieced together a prototype of this world in his mind. A world closely related to demons. Those strange rules, taboos, pollution, and so on were mostly related to demons. So Viona knew that the unknown strength in his body came from the demons? Did she deliberately lead him into this world to discover all of this? Putting Viona’s matter aside, who was the powerful strength in the game hint? From the current information, he was most likely in the camp of the Fallen Ones, and the enemy was most likely the Occult Joint Investigation Committee. Was it someone from the committee?
