1510 Who?
Yu Jiayuan led Fang Heng to a corner of the bar and explained in a low voice, “When the pollution reaches a certain level, one will sometimes receive a summoning from the pollution source. You can ignore or follow the summoning to assemble.”
Fang Heng was stunned when he heard that and instantly became alert, “Wait, according to what you said, we have already found your pollution source?”
“That’s not it. Pollution can be divided into direct and indirect pollution. For example, pollution source A polluted B, and B, as an indirect Polluted, polluted C. If we were C, we could only completely remove the pollution by eliminating source A. After B falls, it can summon C, D, E, F, and all the lower chains below it.”
Fang Heng rubbed his chin and realized the trouble of pollution.
They had to find their pollution source by tracking them down individually.
Fang Heng continued to ask, “What happens if I refuse the summoning? Will the speed of pollution accelerate?”
“Theoretically speaking, there’s no extra punishment for ignoring the summoning. However, I’ve only heard that there’s a chance to come into contact with a higher level Polluted through summoning. It’s also one of the ways to advance to the Fallen One. The Fallen Ones will be bestowed with strength after that.”
“Oh? One can even gain strength? Why? You don’t want to become a Fallen One?”
“Once you become a Fallen One, your life will be in the hands of the pollution source and all the Polluted who are in the upper chain above you. If you were D, you must listen to all the instructions of C and B, as well as pollution source A. Even if they ask you to die, you must do it. Moreover, you can no longer refuse the summoning.”
“The most terrifying thing is that falling is an irreversible process. Once you fall, you will forever be controlled. Once anyone in your upper chain, whether A, B, or C, dies, you will immediately corrupt into a Creature that loses its mind.”
Yu Jiayuan clenched her fists as she spoke.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
The structure of the pollution organization was clear, and it sounded like a pyramid scheme.
One could imagine that the lower the chain one was in, the more miserable one would be.
“No one would be willing to become a Fallen One if they weren’t desperate.”
Yu Jiayuan took a deep breath and said, “It’s rare to have a summoning in the form of triggering a mission in the past, so this time, it’s very unusual. We have to be careful.”
The two of them were whispering when the bar suddenly fell silent.
A young man wearing a trench coat and mask walked out from behind the bar counter and stood before everyone.
“A welcome to everyone who has been summoned here. I’m Luo Xu.”
The young man calmly swept his gaze across the crowd.
Fang Heng sized him up quietly.
After comparing his body shape, he found that Luo Xu was taller and thinner, with prominent cheekbones. He was not the one who had caused chaos in the prison during the day.
“Today, you have done well spreading chaos in the city.”
“Sir Mitchell has new instructions.”
No one knew who took the lead, but everyone knelt on one knee.
“Last night, an explosion occurred in a villa in the suburbs of District Ado Tutelan. You can search for the specific information on your phone.”
“Someone triggered that explosion.”
“We need to find that person. He is extremely important to us.”
“We received some news. After the explosion, the Occult Joint Investigation Committee took the person away for investigation. You can guess what happened next. To find that person, we caused chaos in the city and tried to break into the Investigation Committee’s branch and Committee’s Secret Prison.”
“Unfortunately, we were a step too late. He wasn’t secretly imprisoned as we expected, nor did he stay in the branch. Moreover, he disappeared in the chaos.”
Luo Xu said in a deep voice, “Now, find that person and bring him to me, no matter the price. But remember, I want him alive. Whoever can do this, Sir Mitchell will personally complete the Fallen ritual for him. Everyone, are there any other questions?”
After hearing the middle-aged man’s story, everyone in the bar looked at each other.
Sir Mitchell would personally complete the Fallen ritual!
That was a huge reward!
However, there were too few clues to complete the mission. How could they find the person?
Fang Heng’s brows were tightly knitted. No matter how he listened, he felt strange.
A villa?
Explosion?
The person was taken away by the Occult Joint Investigation Committee for investigation.
And the person was still missing?
No way!
The keywords made Fang Heng’s heart beat faster.
He vaguely felt that he had guessed the answer.
“Sir Luo Xu, do you have a photo or other information about that person?”
“There’s no picture or portrait information, but it wasn’t completely fruitless when we attacked the Occult Committee’s branch during the day. We found the records from last night and got a name.”
The middle-aged man looked around.
“That person’s name is Fang Heng.”
What?
Yu Jiayuan had been listening to him at first, but she was suddenly shocked. She couldn’t help but turn her head and look at Fang Heng beside her.
Fang Heng?
It was him?
Or was it a coincidence?
Hearing his name, Fang Heng’s expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Yu Jiayuan.
Both parties exchanged glances in the air.
Fang Heng was sure that it was not a coincidence!
That group of Fallen Ones was looking for him!
He stared at Yu Jiayuan closely. If Yu Jiayuan made any strange movements, he would take action immediately.
He was unsure if he could wipe out all of them by summoning two commander-level undead bones and using the aura of the death realm to confuse them. But it should not be a problem for him to escape.
Yu Jiayuan looked at Fang Heng, her expression changing.
After hesitating for a moment, she immediately made a decision.
She pretended not to know and helped Fang Heng hide it.
So what if she said it then and exposed Fang Heng’s identity?
Mitchell could be a Polluted close to the pollution source. He could be a C or D-level, or even a B-level pollution.
Even if she were fortunate to have Mitchell as an A-level pollution source, she would only become a B-level Fallen One at most. She would be controlled by Mitchell for the rest of her life!
Yu Jiayuan decided to take a gamble.
There were too many strange things about Fang Heng.
Perhaps he could really help her.
There were more than 30 people in the bar. Luo Xu did not notice the change in Yu Jiayuan and Fang Heng’s expressions. He waved his hand and said, “Go. He appeared in the villa area last night. Use all your resources to find him! Inform me immediately if there is any news.”
“Yes, sir!”
Everyone immediately scattered.
A game hint appeared on Fang Heng’s retina.
