In the wee hours of the morning.

A heavily armed RV exits the outskirts of Xinning City and enters the city, speeding down the city section.

In the dead of night, the city at this time is already silent.

There are only sparse cars and pedestrians on the road.

Either white-collar workers and social animals who have to go home from work until now, or unemployed vagrants who have reversed day and night, or young people who rush to work at night clubs.

Hanami smiled and drove the car, Tang Ran sat in the driver's seat, wearing headphones, and was concentrating on processing a large amount of work information and intelligence.

It was only now that she began to understand that the events behind this [Doomsday Paratroopers] operation were much more complicated than she had imagined.

If nothing had gone wrong with her judgment, the group of lunatics in the Black Tide would have already taken action......

So the first thing she did was to write a concise and professional report as quickly as possible, and then hand it to the higher authorities in the form of urgent information.

She is just the leader of a team, even if she is subordinate to the Xinghai Division, in the final analysis, she is only a grassroots team member, and it will not be her turn to talk about major decisions for a while.

However, she is completely sure that once the report is submitted, it will definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups.

At least the position of this group of anti-bone boys in the Xinning Branch is definitely unstable.

The higher authorities will set up an investigation team with higher authority with the highest efficiency to parachute in and seriously inspect the entire Xinning sub-bureau.

At this time, the captain was very busy, but the rookie Danzi Brother was sitting in the back seat of the RV, drinking tons and tons of fat house happy water, while wondering.

[The will of the fat house] played its role again at this time, and it was clear that it was only a carbonated drink with high sugar and high heat, but the fatigue and hunger of the body were swept away at once.

How do I feel like I'm working overtime again...... As soon as this dangerous thought came out of his mind, he was snuffed out in the cradle by Su Lian.

But looking at tonight's formation, it is estimated that overtime is inevitable.

"So what the hell is going on?"

Su Lin glanced at Xia Ying, who was sitting on the side, and asked in a low voice.

There is a sense of déjà vu for small employees who secretly gossip when the leaders are in a fierce meeting.

"You don't know what the [Soul Crystal] you picked up is, do you?" Xia Ying asked rhetorically.

Su Lin shook his head, and then nodded again.

He knew, but he didn't quite know......

After all, the message from [the Soul Crystal] only said that it was a substance that contained some unknown energy within it, and did not specify what it was.

"It was a substance born within [the Nether Sea]."

Xia Ying explained, "Hatred, resentment, jealousy, greed, arrogance, and violence...... and other negative emotions will be converted into dark matter in the living organism. ”

"This dark matter is what we generally call it—[]."

"Sink the bones of the deceased to the bottom of the sea without light, and under the erosion of the filthy yin qi like day after day, the dark matter wrapped in the soul will seep out like a pus-shed wound."

"These substances cling to the seabed of the Netherworld Sea like sticky silt, constantly sucking up the nutrients in the black sea."

"They wriggled, they grew, they calcified like shellfish, and then they began to harden......"

"By the end, it was what you see now, a glittering, shiny stone."

Xia Ying said, "It looks beautiful, right?" ”

"But what you didn't expect was that before it became like this, it was just a mass of ugly souls piled up and squeezed in the depths of the sea."

"......" Su Lin was stunned when he heard it.

Only then did he realize that the [Soul Crystal] was actually a crystalline solid formed by a large mass of dark matter.

Under the glamorous and gorgeous appearance of gold and jade, there is a miserable defeat.

Chewing Xia Ying's words carefully, his brain made up the scene under the [Netherworld Sea], and Su Lin only felt a hairs on his back stand on end.

"After the hedron is formed, these substances will act like magnetic blocks, and they will continue to attract similar substances around them."

"If you wear it as an ornament such as a pendant for a long time, you will be corrupted by the dark matter in it over time."

"Oh......" Su Lin nodded thoughtfully.

Hearing this, recalling the scene he had seen before, Su Lin seemed to suddenly understand something.

The wisp of black mist that Yatami sucked out of her opponent's corpse using [Soul Crystal] should actually be [Remnant].

And what's more interesting is that these members of the Kuroshio organization still seem to have a [soul crystal] in their hands.

"So what is the real purpose of these soul crystals?" Su Lin asked the most puzzling question.

"For us, [Soul Crystal] basically has no effect, but will have some negative effects and harms."

"But it's a very important thing for the Kuroshio organization."

Xia Ying said, "Because the players of this organization have worked hard all their lives to accomplish one thing - that is, to complete the sublimation ceremony. ”

"What is the Ritual of Ascension?" Su Lin said.

"One way to break free from human identity is a dark ritual created by the Kuroshio organization."

Xia Hotaru went on to explain, "Once the ascension is successfully completed, then they can transform from humans to other races. ”

"However, the success rate of the sublimation ritual is not too high, and most Kuroshio players will become nondescript humanoids after the ritual fails."

"They may have some abilities and traits of other races, but they are not part of the latter, and likewise, they are not human."

"It's hard for players like this to find their true camp and home, but it's not realistic to get them out of the quagmire."

"So they can only follow this road all the way to the black, and in the end they are generally reduced to the tools of the Kuroshio organization."

"I see......" Su Lin couldn't help but think of the crazy humanoid race before.

In this case, it makes perfect sense.

He was indeed targeted by the people of the Black Tide, and most of those people were led by Xiao Yong.

No wonder he was attacked, because the group knew he had [the ticket] in his hand.

So that night, he was really just a little bit away from burping on the spot.

"And [soul crystal] is one of the most basic materials for the sublimation ritual."

"Because the Ascension Ritual requires a large amount of [Yin Ash] to provide the energy to activate the Dark Ritual, and the [Soul Crystal] happens to be the best vehicle to store [Yin Ash]."

Xia Ying said, "Before this, I also read a lot of files from the Xinning Branch. ”

"According to the records on it, it has been a long time since similar materials have appeared in the spiritual domain of Xinning City."

"Because [Soul Crystal] is a substance artificially created by the Kuroshio organization, once this thing appears, it can only mean one thing - the Kuroshio is going to make a new move."

"They're going to have a new ascension ritual?" Su Lin said.

"Yes."

Xia Ying nodded, "And judging from the current series of movements that the Black Tide has put together, this sublimation ceremony is probably bigger than any previous one." ”

"If nothing else, it may affect the entire Xinning City...... and other cities in the surrounding area. ”

……

The RV drove into Shengyang Square and stopped under the office building.

Under the leadership of Tang Ran, everyone took the elevator all the way to the 21st floor.

Since the ontology is actually the Xinning District Bureau, the Brain Wen Ninety-Nine Script Killing Company will not be completely closed even in the early hours of the morning.

Every night, there will be a special vigil on duty employees to stick to their posts, just to avoid emergencies but no way to contact the person.

"What about Xiao Yong?"

As soon as he stepped into the company, Tang Ran asked straightforwardly.

The team members on duty were stunned by Tang Ran's aggressive posture, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly stood up from their seats, and the chairs were ejected half a meter away.

"Hello Captain Tang, Director Xiao is not here tonight." The young team member immediately said.

"What about others?"

"I don't know." The other party shook his head and said, "He didn't show up in the bureau a few days ago, and it is said that he went out on a mission." ”

"What about your Deputy Director Lu?" Tang Ran asked again.

"I haven't seen it yet." The other party still shook his head, "Xiao Ju seems to have gone out with him." ”

Tang Ran frowned.

During this time, they have been planning and preparing for the operations and specific plans of the [Doomsday Paratroopers], and they have not been to the substation much.

Unexpectedly, taking advantage of this gap, this goods has already been brought with people.

If nothing else, the old fox will probably never appear again.

He's not a fool, his ID has been exposed in the spiritual realm, and everyone knows what he's going to do.

It's a good thing that this [cyan treasure] didn't fall into his hands, otherwise the situation would have been a little trickier.

If nothing else, at this time, he is estimated to have squatted somewhere in the city and began to plan his path of ascension.

"Where's the itinerary?"

"There doesn't seem to be such a thing." The young team member smiled bitterly, "The leader's itinerary is basically not public...... Unless it is said that a superior prosecutor will come down to investigate. ”

"What do you mean?" Tang Ran sneered at him, "My identity can't control you, right?" ”

"No, no, Captain Tang, that's not what I meant!" The other party hurriedly waved his hand, "I mean...... Uh, yes......"

When I said this, I suddenly got stuck.

He realized that he seemed to be talking and wrapping himself into words, but he didn't know how to react for a moment.

So the scene was so embarrassing......

"Where's the Source Energy Cellar?" Tang Ran looked directly into his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

"Source Energy Cellar?"

The young player's eyes showed a panicked look, and his forehead continued to sweat, "Isn't this good, Captain Tang?" ”

"The Source Energy Cellar is the highest level of secret, and every branch of the Heavenly Xuan Society is the same......

But before he finished speaking, Tang Ran had already strode towards him like lightning.

Then his collar was pulled up by Tang Ran vigorously, and then he was met by the latter's murderous eyes like a volcanic eruption.

"I'll ask you where the Source Energy Cellar is." Her voice was as cold as a knife.

"I'll take you, I'll take you, I'll take you!"

The young team members were so frightened that they were about to cry, and their eyes were full of tears.

"But can you be gentle? I hurt so much......"

……
