Chapter 616: Chapter 616

In this city, it wasn’t that there weren’t Spiritual Ability Users, but rather that the Night Watchers all had a very strange aura about them.

This aura felt very familiar to Lu Zixun; it seemed like something he had experienced somewhere before.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Zixun came to realize that this was precisely the aura of the Human Ghosts.

So the Human Ghosts that disappeared from Zone 11 had found a way to move to the "neighboring" Zone 20.

Then their purpose for coming here must not be simply to hide among the crowds, could it...

Just as Lu Zixun was pondering whether these Human Ghosts had come for the connection points, a new group of Night Watchers took over.

This batch of Spiritual Ability Users was normal, without that distinctive aura of the Human Ghosts.

And aside from Shiqian, the inherently murderous Human Ghosts didn’t make a move against these Spiritual Ability Users.

Instead, they smiled, greeted each other, and completed the shift change.

This scene couldn’t help but pique Lu Zixun’s curiosity.

Could it be that the Human Ghosts had also undergone some kind of unknown evolution, allowing them to blend into human society?

Following them discretely, Lu Zixun sent a message to Ge Changming.

He asked him to dispatch a few members of the intelligence department to assist him.

After their shifts, these Human Ghosts didn’t embark on the kind of slaughter Lu Zixun had anticipated; instead, they enjoyed a late-night snack together and then went their separate ways home.

The conversation during the meal was also incredibly normal, with no oddities surfacing.

This made Lu Zixun even more curious about what these Human Ghosts were really up to.

Choosing one with a particularly strong Human Ghost aura, Lu Zixun followed him all the way to his home.

After returning home, this individual didn’t contact anyone, but simply took a bath and played with his cellphone in bed before falling asleep.

Having discovered nothing, Lu Zixun crouched on the balcony with an expression of utter bewilderment.

What exactly was going on here, and if he were to capture and harshly interrogate them, would it be effective?

After considering for a while, however, Lu Zixun gave up the idea.

This method might not yield any useful information and could even startle the snake, so Lu Zixun thought it wasn’t worth the risk.

Now that they had found the trace of the Human Ghosts, it was better to just let the intelligence department keep watch.

After all, the Human Ghosts didn’t know they had been exposed.

It wasn’t long before the intelligence agents found Lu Zixun.

After he arranged for them to monitor the Human Ghosts, the agents’ faces showed difficulty.

Looking at the member with a hesitant expression, Lu Zixun asked with curiosity.

"Lord Xun, it’s just that... well..."

After hesitating for a while, the member said, "I am incompetent and cannot sense that Human Ghost aura you mentioned, Lord Xun..."

A look of surprise appeared on Lu Zixun’s face; so not everyone could feel this aura?

No wonder the Human Ghosts could vanish into thin air. It turned out to be .

It turned out that as long as the Human Ghosts did not use their powers, their energy would be concealed within their cells.

They would then appear no different from Spiritual Ability Users or ordinary people.

Unless a biopsy was done, their true nature simply couldn’t be detected.

As for why Lu Zixun could sense the aura of the Human Ghosts...

Lu Zixun raised a claw to touch his nose, perhaps related to an ability drawn long ago.

After materializing the visages of the Night Watchers with Spiritual Energy, only when the intelligence department members had fully memorized them did Lu Zixun turn to leave Zone 20.

The matter of the connection point still needed Liao Fan to investigate, as well as for Lu Zixun to find a way to contact An Xiao.

The last time he saw An Xiao seemed to be in a dream, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed.

Could it be that An Xiao’s abilities were also related to the Bloody Moon?

However, after comparing the differences between An Xiao’s and Yun Yanming’s dreams, Lu Zixun realized they were probably not the same.

If the Derivative Ability of the Bloody Moon was the Nightmare and the ability used by An Xiao was to construct beautiful dreams, did that mean the two were opposites?

Considering this, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed,

Perhaps bringing the Five-layered World connection forward wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

Since Divinity is unique, maybe the Derivative Ability of the Five-layered World could counteract the Crimson.

Back in Demon Country, after telling Shadow about the connection point, Lu Zixun fell asleep instantly, trying to have An Xiao enter his dream again.

Unfortunately, the process of entering dreams was not bidirectional.

Lu Zixun fell asleep with the image of An Xiao in mind, and when he awoke, the day was already bright.

Lu Zixun jumped up from the bed, slightly bewildered.

Since this method couldn’t let An Xiao enter his dream, then how could he find An Xiao?

Without changing his expression, Liao Fan burned the intelligence sent over by Shadow, his eyes becoming inscrutable.

If the research personnel wanted to know the location of the connection point, then only by inadvertently encountering some problems could he "unintentionally" learn about this matter.

If that was the case, starting with the corpses of the Deep Divers was undoubtedly the best option.

Now, the biggest problem was, how to fabricate a perfect and flawless excuse.

As always calm in demeanor, he left his house for the lab building, greeted people he passed, and then Liao Fan went straight into the research office.

"Director Liao remains as dedicated to his job as ever."

The sight of him made the research staff sigh.

Ye Hua lifted his head, looking very proud: "Director Liao is the person I’ve seen who cares most deeply about scientific research. Those Spiritual Ability Users look down on Director Liao, but I look down on them!"

"You’re insane! How dare you disparage the Spiritual Ability Users!"

Hearing what Ye Hua had said, the pupils of the person nearby shrank, and he quickly pulled on Ye Hua while nervously glancing around.

After realizing that nobody had overheard, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Hua, aware of his slip-up, was terrified inside and hurriedly left the place without saying another word.

Entering the research office, Liao Fan looked at the corpse on the surgical table and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he picked up the scalpel, his body obstructing the surveillance camera.

While dissecting the heart of a Deep Diver, Liao Fan found a piece of paper with strange writing on it.

This odd scene made the honest Liao Fan feel very strange, and he turned around with the piece of paper, waving it at the surveillance camera.

Soon, a group of fully armed Spiritual Ability Users arrived at the research office.

After fully sealing the research office, they took Liao Fan away.

Looking disapprovingly at the blood-stained note, Wang Zhenxiong and Liao Fan sat in the conference room.

Waiting for the Spiritual Ability User who specialized in deciphering writing to crack the message on the note.

After a while, this Spiritual Ability User lifted his head: "This Deep Diver came to transmit a message; the note says that their strength greatly increases when they are near the connection point!"
