Chapter 1672 Out of Control? (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
"Okay, we've already started preparing. Please let us know again when you arrive to confirm the exact time, and we'll open the door here."

A slightly magnetic female voice came from the walkie-talkie, echoing in the night.

"Okay, I'll contact you later." Standing on the rooftop, He Ao nodded slightly, disconnected the communication, and put the walkie-talkie that could traverse the anomaly back into his pocket.

His gaze shifted downwards, where the gunfire outside gradually subsided, and the attackers were swiftly apprehended by the arriving Abnormal Association and the FBI.

His gaze followed the flow of people, quietly observing the FBI vehicles below that had filled the street.

"Why do I feel like that building wasn't very welcoming to us?" Siwei, sitting on He Ao's shoulders, shook her head and said slowly.

“Yes, ‘it’ doesn’t want us to see ‘it’,” Heo said, gazing at the buildings hidden in the dense forest. “If we went in, we probably wouldn’t see anything. ‘It’ only reveals a part of its form when it’s hunting.”

"It will hide from us?" Siwei asked, confused.

“Yes.” He Ao nodded gently.

"So what exactly is that rope, and that house? Is it unusual?" Siwei asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Perhaps,” Heo mused thoughtfully, “or perhaps, a twisted part left behind by an angel.”

If we had to choose an audience member for a performance, then the most important 'audience member' in this city would undoubtedly be that 'angel'.

The drifting wind rustled through the trees of that quiet building, carrying with it fragments of leaves that remained green even in winter.

"Those people seem to have all been arrested?" Siwei lowered her head and stared at the people who had been arrested below. "And those who went into the courtyard, the big guy, I think I heard them mention the Future Building?"

“Yes,” He Ao nodded gently and said calmly, “They might be the participants in the Future Building incident back then.”

The man in casual clothes and his men, along with several other groups, were all close confidants of Bishop Willens. They were the main perpetrators who served Bishop Willens in the Future Building incident and used the anomaly to 'blow up' the building.

Naturally, there was no information about them in the records of the Abnormal Cult headquarters, but Bishop Willens knew very well where they were hiding and their habit of escaping.

However, He Ao didn't actually do anything. He just found these people who were still running away, stirred their emotions, and gave them a little 'inspiration', leading them to this street.

He Ao's gaze fell downwards, as if he could see through the leaves to the wooden buildings hidden behind them.

He had been here beforehand and sensed that there was no one in the building.

Under normal circumstances, whether it is Levi or the legion commander of Dawn City, they will have some confidants around them, and there will be servants or staff in their living space.

The house was deserted, and even the security area was located far from the residential area, which usually meant that it was dangerous for outsiders.

But He Ao didn't sense any 'danger'; the building wasn't willing to show him its 'true' appearance.

So he planned this 'performance'.

The building 'please' joined his drama, becoming both an actor and an audience member.

The congestion of police cars below finally eased, and the electronic safety barrier was removed.

The crowded streets gradually returned to normal, and only then did this 'drama' truly come to an end.

He lowered his head, took out the mithril test tube containing green liquid from his pocket, and drank the liquid in one gulp.

A slightly violent pollution churned in his mind, and a surge of power instantly rushed up his throat into his body, then spread to his limbs and bones, only to be quickly dissolved and dissolved.

[He Ao (Loren)]

[Privilege Level: Advanced Player]

Physical fitness: 1761562 (11527)

[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Hypermemory (A-level) (Abnormal), Basic Firearms Mastery (Soul Part), Talent Sequence 144: Miracle Scholar (B-level) (Rejection) (Unusable), Mystic Academic Introduction]

Mechanical modification: None

[Martial Arts: Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation (Rank B) (Partial Usability)]

[Character Skill: Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation (Rank B), Talent Sequence 189: Planner (Rank B)]

The ceremony was completed, and with exceptionally good results.

He Ao felt the power of the secret medicine rapidly melting and dissolving within his body, and he was quickly mastering the 'Strategist' talent sequence.

As he had guessed, his long-standing habits were also exceptionally compatible with the power of this talent sequence, which further accelerated his progress in mastering this talent sequence.

Soon, he had almost completely mastered this talent sequence.

In a sense, the 'planner' path is indeed one of the most suitable paths for him, which is why he chose this path.

However, this secret medicine does indeed contain some abnormal contamination, which is disturbing his soul and invading his body.

The pollution didn't have a significant impact on him, but he could vaguely sense that this unusual pollution didn't seem to have a strong 'rejection' effect.

Suppressing the restless, polluting forces, his gaze swept downwards, sweeping over the 'Character Skills' on his personal attribute panel.

His body possessed a B-grade talent sequence and B-grade martial arts, in addition to the A-grade super memory in his mind.

At this moment, his state is very similar to his original form.

However, since the part of the original body that was transformed into an angel by super memory was not present, the conflict between the talent sequence of the body and the talent sequence of the soul was not so obvious.

But they are probably similar.

Of course, there was something else in this body, that invisible, 'abnormal' power that had been spreading throughout He's body from the very beginning.

It wasn't just the restorative power that Siwei exerted on Heo's body; there was also some invisible force, seemingly 'assimilation' from the Unchanging House, or perhaps from a deeper power.

That unusual power resonates with the unusual contamination contained in the 'Planner's' secret medicine, and is even gradually merging with it.

In the beginning, these forces were the foundation that stabilized Heo's body, enabling it to withstand Heo's still exceptionally powerful soul, even though it had been weakened by most of its power.

Now, these forces have become the most 'unstable' forces within his body.

Whether He Ao tries to further develop the power of his super memory or even uses the power of the planner's talent sequence, this power will disrupt the balance of He Ao's own power and push He Ao towards madness.

This is why, even after reaching C-level and B-level, He Ao still exhibited significant physical changes and a tendency towards madness when using the power of super memory.

However, this also makes He Ao's body at this moment seem more like his original form.

However, the unstable factor in his physical body was not the abnormal external energy, but the transformation of his body by the super memory, which caused the rejection of the 'Miracle Scholar' talent sequence in his body.

Of course, compared to his original body, the condition of this body is obviously more 'unstable'. Any radical high-level power could cause the body to collapse and tend towards madness.

He quickly suppressed the surging power within him; at this moment, he didn't have the energy to deal with it.

He reached into his pocket, took out a walkie-talkie, and put it to his mouth. "This is Loren. As agreed, I'll be there soon. It should take about half an hour to get to the association headquarters."

“Okay, we will open the door from the inside in 45 minutes,” the gentle and magnetic female voice rang out again. “Please contact us promptly if your schedule changes.”

"Okay." He Ao nodded slightly, preparing to disconnect the communication.

"Buzz—buzz—" Just then, a sharp electrical sound suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, as if the signal had been interfered with. He Ao paused slightly, but did not immediately disconnect the communication.

Immediately afterwards, a hoarse, somewhat weak voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, "Run—don't come—"

The communication was immediately cut off.

"Denorn?!" He Ao instantly recognized the source of the voice.

He immediately called back.

"Zizi-"

But this time, all he heard on the other end of the walkie-talkie was a sharp static.

-

Dawn City

The evening light spilled into the quiet corridors of the old building, and onto the yellowed old-fashioned landline telephones.

Jingle Bell--

Amidst the somewhat hoarse and noisy ringing of the telephone, a figure walked to the telephone, picked up the receiver, and answered the call.

"Hello, this is Shanlin Villa."

-

Willens

The twilight glow streamed through the streets as Heo carried the Spear of Vestara on his back and held a feathered dagger in his hand.

He raised his head, glanced at the dim light of the sky, and gently spread his fingers.

As blood flowed out, the surrounding buildings and structures crumbled in an instant, and the towering stone monument and the boundless wasteland reappeared before him.

He Ao took a step forward, stepped over the stone tablet, and while moving quickly forward, picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and rapidly changed the 'frequency band' on it.

The walkie-talkie kept making a hissing sound, and it seemed that no one was speaking behind each frequency.

Since he heard that 'warning', he hasn't been able to contact anyone via walkie-talkie. Fortunately, it was almost dusk, allowing him to enter the Dusk Wasteland through the normal entry rules.

The fact that the entry rules have not changed indicates that the current state of this anomaly should still be stable.

He moved very quickly, traversing the wasteland, the mountains, and the undulating root system of the World Tree.

Soon, they arrived at the Fountain of Wisdom.

This time, however, he did not linger at the Fountain of Wisdom, but instead bypassed it and entered the mist behind it.

Soon, ancient buildings resembling palaces came into view.

This is the headquarters of the Anomalous Cult, which was recently taken over by the Anomalous Association.

There should theoretically be many people stationed here, but at this moment there is no one here.

Many parts of the palace have collapsed, some due to the previous attack by the Abnormal Association, while others show very recent cracks, indicating that they were only recently damaged.

Twisted carcasses were scattered on the ground, some resembling the furry wolves of the mountains, others shadowy creatures that were difficult to discern.

The remaining group included people dressed in the attire of the Abnormal Association and those dressed as members of an Abnormal Cult.

After the palace was occupied by the Abnormal Association, many members of the Abnormal Cult who had been arrested were also imprisoned here.

It seems they've 'escaped,' but these members of the aberrant cult alone aren't enough to cause any trouble. With Denon and the palace guards, they could easily control them even if they all escaped.

But judging from the situation here, it seems that the members of the Abnormal Association were caught off guard and suppressed, and that other forces have gotten involved?
However, there weren't many bodies left behind; they must have escaped.

"There are still some who escaped?! Prepare to die!"

Just as He Ao was pondering, a figure suddenly rushed out from a corner, holding a slender curved knife, and slashed towards He Ao's head.

Without even raising his head, He Ao reached out and suddenly grabbed the man's neck, squeezing hard. The twisted flesh beneath his skin twitched violently.

Has someone released prisoners and launched an attack on the Anomalous Association?
He released his grip, tossed the attacker, whose neck had been snapped, to the ground, quickly processed the 'memories' he had just acquired, and turned to run north.

According to the attacker's memory, Denon was wounded and fled north with the members of the Anomalous Association. The attacker, because of his ruthlessness, stayed behind to finish off those who were not quite dead on the battlefield.

Judging by the timing, this 'attack' was launched shortly after He Ao left.

He Ao moved quickly, heading north, where the reflection of the giant serpent in the central courtyard existed, and also the exit from this wasteland.

Who injured Denon?
The memories that He Ao had just read only contained information about Denon being injured; the source of the memories had never seen Denon injured.

Given Denon's cautious nature, anyone capable of injuring him must either be an assistant or friend lurking around him, or someone whose strength far surpasses Denon's.

Judging from the fact that he interfered with the walkie-talkie to send a message telling Heo to run, the opponent's strength is likely far greater than that of Denon.

Furthermore, if Denon could open the gate and leave, he would have opened the gate and left long ago, and he would definitely have contacted Heo outside immediately.

His failure to contact He Ao suggests that he is most likely still trapped in the wasteland. Considering that the other party seems to want to 'lure' He Ao into the wasteland, it is likely that the passage out of the wasteland has also been controlled by the other party.

The surrounding wasteland receded rapidly like a fleeting shadow, and He Ao raised his head to look ahead.

A gigantic, pitch-black serpent gradually came into view.

That was the reflection of the giant serpent in the central courtyard.

Beneath the reflection of the giant snake, there were only tiny human figures and a dense swarm of wolves that had almost filled He Ao's line of sight.
