In the conference room of the Quiet Society, a pale picture scroll member was chaotic, which was somewhat eye-catching.

Shen Xiaomo followed closely behind Li Changan, tugging at the corners of his clothes, lowering his head, avoiding Bai Zhu's gaze.

But Bai Zhu looked like he wanted to have a good relationship with her.

No way.

Whoever let them be quiet in the meeting were only three women: Bai Zhu, Ran Swordfish and Gu Po Po.

But Granny Gu is old and has a strange temper, and Bai Zhu doesn't dare to touch too much.

And Ran Jianyu, as the deputy captain, has to manage a team of people, and he is usually more serious, and Bai Zhu can't get too close to her.

finally came a Shen Xiaomo, who was about the same age as her, and Bai Zhu, as a "social cow", had no good relationship with her.

It's a pity that Bai Zhu is a social cow, but Shen Xiaomo is an out-and-out social terror.

It's not.

The timid Shen Xiaomo was already frightened by the enthusiastic Bai Zhu.

"Ahem."

Ran Swordfish coughed lightly, and Bai Zhu's eager gaze narrowed slightly.

"Lao Cao, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Cao Xinsheng held the thermos cup with a calm expression.

Seeing that he was recovering well, Ran Swordfish didn't say anything more.

After all, the difficulty of this mission is not easy to say for the time being, and Lao Cao's strength is still very critical.

Then Ran Swordfish looked at Li Changan.

"Chang'an, you can give us a briefing on the situation."

Li Changan nodded.

"The mission target, a cult organization suspected of worshipping the 'God of Blood', has special ritual abilities, and at the same time, the possibility of possessing powerful spirit beasts cannot be ruled out."

According to the information provided by the Pale Picture Scroll, the base of the organization was originally discovered in Heba Town, Heluo County, but after the base was wiped out, it is unknown whether there are any remnants of evil. And if there is a remnant, we need to arrest it, and in special cases we are allowed to kill. ”

Everyone watched him silently, taking some of the more crucial information to heart.

Then Li Changan passed on some basic information copied from the pale picture scroll to everyone.

"Say something that's not in it." Ran Swordfish spoke.

Li Changan's expression gradually became serious.

Feeling his seriousness, everyone also temporarily put down the documents in their hands.

"According to the information I have obtained, it is very likely that this cult is related to a secret organization that was active at the end of the Third Age that worships 'blood'.

There was a pause.

"Even that organization has survived surreptitiously until now."

End of the Third Age?!

Everyone's hearts shook slightly.

If it is really an organization that has been handed down from that period, it has a heritage of thousands of years.

Li Changan's words made everyone realize the importance of this mission and the dangers that may be hidden in it.

"But this probability should be relatively small, otherwise the Pale Painted Scroll would not have destroyed that group so easily before." Li Changan reassured again.

Because it is a secret organization, there is too little information involved in the book.

He then proceeded to recount the information he had seen on some of the ancient books in the library.

"But no matter what, the other party must have a certain 'blood ritual', whether it affects itself or the spirit beast, it will make its strength exaggerated to a certain extent."

Ran Swordfish stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly.

"So, I mean, let's try to approach as a passenger first, and investigate useful information without trying to startle you."

After speaking, he looked around at the crowd.

No one objected.

It's safer to do so.

Moreover, if you can hide your identity well, it is also easier to obtain some useful information.

"Because it involves an unknown strange force, I submitted a mission report to the headquarters yesterday, as well as an application for the 'Boundary Instrument'."

Boundary Instrument Application?

"I seconded the Rite of Boundary, 'Withered Feather', to HQ. When the things are there, we will set out, and in these two days, you will each be ready and have all the things you need. ”

Withered feathers?

What are your capabilities?

What are the side effects?

Tranquility.

Li Changan, who was standing in front of the mirror, looked at his black and shiny fluffy hair and dusted it gently.

A slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he has used the "Sunflower" brooch three times so far, and the problem is not very big.

Although the role of the "Sunflower" brooch is quite strong, he doesn't want to be "I'm bald so I'm stronger".

"Meow!"

Suddenly.

Just as he was looking in the mirror, an exclamation came from behind him.

Saw.

Xiao Phantom, who was sleeping quietly on the futon, jumped up suddenly, his eyes were full of horror, his chest rose and fell violently, and he looked frightened.

"What's wrong?" Li Changan asked with some surprise, "Another nightmare?" ”

"Meow, meow."

Xiao Huan stood in place in a daze, blinking his eyes, until he was picked up by Li Changan, and then slowly came back to his senses.

Sniffing the familiar smell, its exploding fur gradually calmed down, and slammed Li Changan's chest.

"Alright, alright." Li Changan said hurriedly with a smile.

If you arch it any further, the cat's hair will all stick to your clothes.

"What's going on?"

Little Phantom stumbled twice.

Had nightmares.

"Nightmares?"

Then the little illusion intermittently said what it had just dreamed of from beginning to end.

In fact, there is not much content, that is, it dreams of rolling blood, a corpse that is hung up like an object, both human and spirit animal.

It's just that this hanging posture is very strange, whether it is a human or a spirit animal, they are tied with their legs, but they are not hung from the ceiling, but from the ground.

On top of that, the corpses seem to be under some unknown force, violating the law of free fall of objects, and instead want to float upwards.

After listening, Li Changan frowned slightly.

This dream is indeed strange.

When does an object get out of the grip of gravity?

However, in this world, Brother Niu's coffin board didn't work in the first place, Brother Niu was in a world full of mysterious powers, and his moves were not very bright.

What's more, it's a fantasy dream.

Immediately afterwards, Li Changan seemed to have thought of something, and looked towards Xiao Phantom again.

(Shadow Yan): 17

Really.

The efficiency value of the "Shadow" skill has been increased again.

"Is it another dream with a meaning?" Li Changan muttered.

The last time the little fantasy dreamed that the efficiency value of the "Shadow Yan" skill was increased, there was an accident on the night of the alternation of red moons.

That this time. Does it also mean that the mission will be dangerous?

And,Xiaofan's "prophecy dream" this time is more detailed than the last one.

Is it because the strength is stronger, and the proficiency of "Shadow Yan" is higher?

Or is it possible to dream more because the risk factor is lower than at the turn of the red moon?

Li Changan is not a professional dream interpreter, so he can only make some superficial guesses based on dreams, and cannot decipher the symbolic meaning.

"Meow~~"

In the midst of his thoughts, Xiao Phantom once again called him back to his senses.

Look down.

I saw the little guy who was trembling because of the nightmare a second ago, and he was gently rubbing his stomach.

Noticing Li Changan's gaze, he grinned and raised the corners of his mouth, sneering.

Hungry.

Li Changan couldn't cry or laugh, and scratched its head fiercely.

"Wash up first."

"Meow-"

And just as they were having breakfast, Teng Hongrui came to the door.

"Chang'an, the 'withered feathers' have arrived, and the fish team said to prepare and set off."

Hearing this, Li Changan's deep eyes flashed slightly.

Has it arrived?

During the time when the "withered feather" arrived in Yangcheng, Li Changan also clarified the functions and side effects of this first-order "boundary weapon".

Withered feathers, also known as "archon's quill".

It is said that it was once used by a powerful consul, and it signed many articles and laws, and it is a powerful spirit animal instrument with the attribute of "order".

The function is to make the spirit beast it carries have a more powerful "order" ability.

It is possible to create rules that are more restrictive and can also be more wide-ranging.

If the spirit beast it carries is strong enough, even the rules it has set can last for a long time even after leaving.

Obviously, Ran Swordfish wanted to use this "withered feather" to enable her caracal wolf to formulate rules that were binding enough to limit the power of blood within a certain range.

It is equivalent to putting a layer of extremely restrictive negative effects on one or more enemies that may appear.

And the side effects of this "withered feather" are also very simple.

It will make the spirit beast that has been carrying it for a certain period of time slowly be influenced by the once powerful archon, and gradually become a soldier who has no self-subjective consciousness and can only act according to orders.

However, when the Boundary Vessel is delivered from HQ, it is covered with a special one-time seal.

But after using it, you need to find a way to deal with this side effect on your own.

is what makes Li Changan more curious.

It's just a quill pen that has been used, even if that archon is a powerful spirit master, why does it have such a strong effect?

If just being touched by it can become a "Boundary Weapon", then that Archon is so powerful that he will not be able to mass-produce the "Boundary Instrument"?

In the crisp morning light, a van drove on the narrow road paved with stones.

The quietly prepared congregation arrived at Heba Town in Heluo County, Yangcheng in a smooth drive.

This town is located at the extreme edge of the northwest corner of Yangcheng's territory, almost at the junction of Yangcheng and Molong City.

Molong City is an ancient city with a long history in the Donghong Kingdom, and it is said that before the birth of the Donghong Kingdom, the imperial capital of its predecessor, the ancient imperial dynasty, was located in Molong City.

There are a large number of old buildings in the city.

The border of Heba Village, to a certain extent, has also been affected, most of the buildings in the village reveal a historical atmosphere, can be regarded as a small famous tourist place in Yangcheng.

Park the van in front of the hotel that Hakutake, which you booked in advance.

People dressed as passengers, carrying backpacks or bags, stepped off the bus one by one.

"Put things away, and then work in pairs to investigate."

Ran Swordfish began to arrange the task.

She glanced at Shen Xiaomo, who was silently following behind Li Changan, and ordered:

"Lao He, fat man, you go to the street and some scenic spots."

The two nodded in response.

There are many historical places in Heba Town, which should be paid attention to.

"Lao Cao, you go with me around the town."

If there really are remnants of the cult, they are more likely to hide in some inaccessible mountains and forests.

Of course, because there are too many spirit animals in the wild, the danger is relatively high, so it is estimated that it will not hide too deeply.

In the end, Ran Jianyu looked at Li Changan and Shen Xiaomo, pursed his lips and said:

"Chang'an, you go to the cult base that was exterminated before and see if you can find something."

The corner of Li Changan's eyes glanced at the cowardly Shen Xiaomo behind him, twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded.

As long as you have a little brain, you won't be in the original base again.

They are the safest group.

But.

There were only two of them there, and maybe they could find something in the base.

"Okay." Li Changan responded.

Ran Swordfish's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly:

"Finally, no matter what you encounter or find, don't act on your own!"
