Chapter 615: Chapter 615

After Si Keke left, Lu Zixun fell into deep confusion.

"Who am I, where am I, why on earth did I have to call this charlatan over?"

Previously, although Si Keke seemed unreliable, she had been right about some things.

Today was even better, the charlatan had gone all out.

He came over, sat for a while, said nothing, just urged himself to improve his strength.

Lying back in his chair, Lu Zixun silently stared at the ceiling.

It seemed that staying indoors and hoping to gather intelligence was somewhat unreliable.

"It’s time for a change!"

Lu Zixun suddenly sat up, clenched his fists tightly, ready to make a change.

At dusk, a cat was lying on the bed playing with a mobile phone, from which "Creeper?" could be heard through the speaker.

The motivated Lu Zixun, not even three minutes later, was lying on the bed.

It wasn’t that Lu Zixun had suddenly become lazy.

Rather, in Crimson Land, there really hadn’t been any major events recently.

There had been the fish monster sighting earlier, but that news was already three days old.

By now, the fish monster’s corpse was probably lying in the Crimson Research Room.

Lu Zixun surely couldn’t storm into Crimson to slice up the body for research.

At this moment, Liao Fan, who had just left the research room, had exhausted eyes.

From his deep dark circles, it was clear he hadn’t slept in three days.

"Director Liao, you’ve worked hard."

Before Liao Fan could speak, an assistant quickly came up, took the white coat Liao Fan had taken off, greeted him, and obediently followed behind.

Liao Fan hummed through his nose, smiled kindly, "Xiao Ye, you’ve been working hard too."

"I’m fine, Director Liao, you’re the one who’s been through a lot. Any results from your research?"

The young man called Xiao Ye by Liao Fan smiled and rubbed the back of his head as he asked considerately.

"I won’t discuss that now. You can go rest after we destroy this coat."

Exhaling wearily, Liao Fan staggered a bit. "Today, you don’t need to wait for me."

Knowing he shouldn’t pry into these matters, Ye Hua nodded and closed his mouth.

"Have you found anything in the Deep Diver’s corpse?"

After parting ways with Ye Hua, Liao Fan turned and entered an unremarkable room where Wang Zhenxiong looked up at him entering.

"Merely in terms of physical strength, it has reached the level of a G-level Spiritual Ability User, and is immune to most Spiritual Abilities. From the body structure, it can be seen that Deep Divers were once human, but they underwent some change."

Liao Fan paused, then continued, "Moreover, from the residual energy in the body, it’s clear that the power used by Deep Divers is not Spiritual Energy, but another kind... a miraculous energy, similar to that of Water Element Spiritual Ability Users, yet different..."

After quietly listening to Liao Fan’s analysis, Wang Zhenxiong looked at him admiringly.

This man was truly a genius, easy to control, and compared to the previous director, a really capable person.

"You’ve labored hard."

Wang Zhenxiong nodded slightly, stood up, and patted Liao Fan’s shoulder, "You’ve worked hard these few days, go rest first. Resources will be sent to your home, try to elevate your strength to J-level."

After speaking, Wang Zhenxiong left the room, followed by a shadow lurking in the darkness.

Liao Fan watched this scene, his eyes showing no emotion.

About five minutes later, he left the room.

When the corpse of the Deep Diver appeared before Liao Fan, he knew that the matter of world connection must definitely be related to Crimson, and significantly so.

Before Wang Zhenxiong received the messages, Liao Fan concealed some key information, like...

This deep diver had hidden a note within its heart, which contained a phrase.

"A week later, activate the connection point in Zone 20."

Listening to the message relayed by the Shadow, Lu Zixun once again fell into deep thought.

It seemed that even while lying at home, one could gather intelligence without going out.

However, it was surprising that the fish monster was called a deep diver, and indeed originated from the Four-layer World.

Why hide the note in the heart?

Was it to avoid detection by humans of the Four-layer World, or to evade some unknown entity?

Casually nodding to the Shadow, Lu Zixun appeared to have everything under control.

After the Shadow left, Lu Zixun crossed his hands under his chin and began to ponder matters regarding this connection point.

Unlike the Insect Breeding Ground, the Four-layer World required activation of a connection point to initiate contact. Did that mean that having a connection points allowed access from other worlds?

If he remembered correctly, the Four-layer World was the Snow Plain World.

There, a menacing Sealed Item was present.

Allowing the Snow Plain World to come at this point in time certainly wasn’t a wise choice.

If not mistaken, Lu Zixun had heard from An Xiao that the Five-layered World was controlled by Elves—perhaps letting them come would be beneficial?

However, Lu Zixun quickly dismissed that idea.

No one coming at all was the best option.

After all, Lu Zixun did not fully understand these worlds.

Whether it was Elves or the Snow Plain World, both harbored certain risks.

Calling forth the Night Evil Sword and donning the Invisibility Cloak, Lu Zixun flew toward Zone 20.

After circling around Zone 20, Lu Zixun could not locate the so-called connection point.

Thinking about how the Insect Clan had come, Lu Zixun arrived at the edge of the Abyss.

Looking down at the unfathomable Abyss, Lu Zixun’s eyes were filled with contemplation.

The connection point was very likely hidden within the Abyss.

The problem then was how to find and destroy this connection point, which became a challenging issue for Lu Zixun.

He drew the Night Evil Sword and casually swung a Sword Qi toward the Abyss. The luminous Sword Qi plunged relentlessly into the Abyss and was quickly devoured by the twisted forms.

Apparently, relying on Spiritual Energy to enter the Abyss and search for the connection point was quite impractical.

It seemed he would still need Liao Fan’s help to locate the position of the connection point.

As he was about to return home in his true form, an energy disturbance suddenly emanated from not far behind.

Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow. Who would be casting Spiritual Ability Magic at this late hour?

With suspicion that there must be something amiss, Lu Zixun turned the Night Evil Sword and headed toward the source of the energy disturbance.

In the high-speed mode of the Night Evil Sword, Lu Zixun quickly reached where the energy disturbance had occurred.

But the place was already empty, as if the energy disturbance Lu Zixun had sensed was simply an illusion.

Lu Zixun looked towards the nearby city with a puzzled expression.

Such a nearby energy disturbance went undetected by Spiritual Ability Users?

Struck by the strangeness, Lu Zixun decided to see what was happening.

Just as he entered the city’s airspace, he indeed encountered a "ghost."
