Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 71 The Train to the Underworld
Before the fog, the tattooed man prayed in terror to some being.

Perhaps it was due to a lack of piety, or perhaps it was due to a poor signal.

This kind of prayer cannot change anything, nor does the being he believes in come to his rescue.

The dark tentacles rose from the mist, dragging the terrified tattooed man into it.

Soon, the horrifying sounds of bones and flesh being torn and chewed echoed from the mist.

A few seconds later, a pitch-black tentacle emerged from the depths of the thick fog and slowly unfolded in front of Li Yelai.

'Have we finally had enough offerings? They certainly have a big appetite!'

Li Yelai looked at the snow-white mask in the tentacle, not surprised, and reached out to take the mask.

This is the second blank mask that Li Yelai has obtained, and theoretically it will also be his third mask.

The first facial makeup depicts Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.

This was a gift from Li Yelai, a gift from the faceless universe.

The second facial makeup character is Huo Qubing, who was involved in the Fenglangjuxu incident.

It evolved from the blank masks obtained after skinning people as sacrifices.

But the offerings for the third mask were a bit too many.

Li Yelai recalled.

After becoming a handler, he killed Void creatures and a large number of anomalies, but did not obtain any Faces.

The creatures of the virtual realm were clearly sacrificed, but the strange beings did not seem to be considered sacrifices, as Li Yelai did not see them being eaten.

It seems that Mr. Shadow only wants to eat the psionicists or virtual beings that Li Yelai has killed as sacrifices. Tsk, he's quite picky.
Earlier today, Li Yelai killed a level-one psychic cult member at his ground base. However, this did not fulfill his requirement.

It wasn't until this time, after killing the third-awakening psychic, that the second blank mask was revealed.

'As the number of masks increased, the quality of the offerings also improved.'

"One Void Realm creature and one Awakening Psychic are far from enough; a three-Awakening Psychic only managed to obtain a Blank Faceplate. I wonder if it was a waste."

'This also means that the difficulty of the masks I get later will be greatly increased. Will I need to get a fourth awakening next time? What a heartless merchant, they expect me to remember their kindness after all this? Disgusting, disgusting!' Li Yelai thought to himself.

The blurry scene before his eyes quickly disappeared, and Li Yelai's perspective returned to the real world.

I just read so much, but in reality it's just a fleeting moment.

In reality, the Chaos Egg was still being ganged up on by four Senses Processors. One of them severed its tentacles with a flying sword, causing it to let out an unsettling roar. It then fell to the next level.

The roar alone made Li Yelai and the other low-awakening psionicists feel uneasy. Even the Well of Souls showed some disturbance.

'The difference in level is too great. Otherwise, killing a Chaos Egg might unlock the next mask immediately.' Li Yelai thought to himself, picking up his spoils while the Chaos Egg was away.

The tattooed man was quite strong, even very strong. But ultimately, he couldn't overcome misfortune and died a gruesome death.

The corpse was swallowed by the Chaos Egg, the soul was eaten by Mr. Shadow, and the shadow was absorbed by Li Yelai, transforming into a new Shadow Army.

It can be described as making use of waste and reusing it.

It's safe and environmentally friendly, and there's no need to worry about the possibility of the corpse coming back to life. He's actually doing quite well!

His weapons, however, were left behind.

The flaming greatsword that Li Yelai broke was also a C-grade psionic weapon. Let's keep it; we might need it later.

Afterwards, the equipment department can modify or dismantle it; even if it becomes unusable, the mysterious substance inside can be sold.

Stuffing the broken sword together with the molten axe behind him, Li Yelai picked up his halberd and faced a charging black zombie.

He was eager to test his new facial makeup abilities.

As the black zombie approached, Li Yelai swung his halberd with one hand and unleashed the Eighteen-Handed Strike - Elephant Stomp!

At the same time, he quickly wiped his face with his left hand.

'This time, give me a True Martial Path! Let me have some real fun!'

Li Yelai was somewhat expectant and very curious about what kind of hero the True Martial Path would be.

Li Yelai was very envious of Captain Yang Chen's Martial Saint form.

If one possessed this ability, the increase in combat power would be quite significant!

If I become stronger, I can protect myself and my teammates even without making any trades. I will gradually break free from Mr. Shadow.

The Overlord's mask disappeared quickly, followed by a third mask.
However, nothing happened.

Li Yelai didn't sense any changes, nor did he see any battlefield illusions. Nor did he gain any new skills.

This left Li Yelai somewhat bewildered. After smashing the black zombie away, he wiped his face again.

'True Martial Arts won't work? Then let's go for a zero-based path! I'm going to be a mage!'

The damage from the zeroing path is very powerful.

At the same level, the output capability of returning to zero is so dazzling.

Want to get close? I'll just throw a huge fireball at you; you're not even qualified to fight me in close combat!

However, nothing happened.

Li Yelai was utterly astonished. He looked at Benlei, who was finishing off the fallen cult members not far away, and asked, "Team Leader Benlei, do I have a mask on my face?"

Ben Lei stared in surprise at Li Yelai's handsome face, his striking features so handsome they were infuriating. He seemed no different from anyone else.

He then retorted, "I know you're handsome, what's there to show off at a time like this?"

Li Yelai was stunned. His third mask hadn't worked?
No, that shouldn't be happening. I clearly put on a blank mask, didn't I?

Could it be that it's not activated?
Li Yelai swung his halberd, knocking away the approaching black zombie, while pondering in his mind.

Recalling the times I unlocked Facebook in the past.

'Does it mean that you need to be in certain situations or share certain similarities to unlock the corresponding facial expression?'

Li Yelai recalled the Overlord Mask he had first obtained.

At that time, I felt intense resentment and anger, and my throat had already been slit by the skinner.

The fate of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, was to commit suicide at the Wujiang River.

Both men slit their own throats, but Xiang Yu did it himself.

The same sense of resentment, coupled with similar wounds?
So how was the Overlord's Face Mask obtained?
The mask of Huo Qubing, who sealed the wolf's lair, was worn when facing the Xiongnu's steppe cavalry.

At that time, I was trapped in a desperate situation by being kited around. I longed to gain speed so I could catch up with the enemy's mask.

The pursuit of speed, coupled with the fact that the enemy is the Xiongnu, unlocks the image of Huo Qubing?
Is it necessary to combine extreme emotional needs with external circumstances to unlock Facebook?

'If that's the case, then the requirements are a bit too demanding!'

'If I wanted to obtain Sun Wukong's mask, wouldn't I have to be imprisoned under the mountain for another five hundred years? Maybe I'd even have to tend horses for a while?'

'Does Nezha, the Third Prince, have to scrape off his own flesh?'

"Really?"

'Or was it an emotion that erupted in a desperate situation?'

Li Yelai's thoughts raced.

He simply didn't study Facebook enough.

He only unlocked two Facebook accounts in total, and there is no reliable research data at all.

It was a real shame; he had obtained the third mask but couldn't unlock it. This left Li Ye feeling somewhat discouraged. But he could only put it aside for the time being.

At this moment, Benlei shouted to those above, "Send some teams to take care of the wounded, the rest of you come down! Block this breach!"

"Yes!" came a loud reply from the crack above.

The battle above is over. The large number of black zombies and that group of red-robed cultists have been completely eliminated by the handlers.

At that moment, more than a dozen operators jumped down from the crack.

Arrive at the floor where Li Yelai is located.

But the next moment, they heard roars and howls from below, as well as extremely intense fighting sounds.

Judging from the sound, one of them seems to be a chaotic egg.

Li Yelai's heart skipped a beat. The crater created by the underground excavator had smashed through several layers, and the darkness below was indeed eerie. The lights seemed unable to pierce this darkness, like an eternal abyss.

The chaotic egg fell down and didn't climb back up for a long time for some reason.

As a result, the processors who were besieging the Chaos Egg dared not dive down rashly. Instead, they waited for their teammates.

At this moment, a strange battle broke out.

"What is it?" Li Yelai became alert, gripping the Crimson Dragon Halberd tightly in his hand.

"According to the intelligence, below this location is where the Church of the Embers stores forbidden items. There aren't many, but there are still seventeen forbidden items. Among them, there are two Class B forbidden items. It's possible that some of the forbidden items have gone out of control. Be careful!" Benlei was equally vigilant.

"Could it be that my inevitable encounter with a powerful enemy has been triggered?" Li Yelai frowned and asked.

It seems to have triggered some kind of jinx.

As soon as Li Yelai finished speaking, a warrior wearing thick, blood-red armor soared into the sky, his spear covered in foul-smelling blood.

He seemed to have just been in a fierce battle, even fighting against an irrational Chaos Egg, and was now fleeing the rift in a sorry state.

Then, he stared in astonishment at a group of processors.

"He's God's chosen servant!" Benlei laughed angrily. "Kill him!"

A dozen or so handlers rushed forward, while the chosen servants glared angrily.

He didn't understand why this was happening; he was originally in a branch deep underground, fighting against his compatriots and the official night watchmen.

As a result, an underground exploration machine suddenly crashed down, directly dividing the battlefield.

Although unexpected, this attack gave him a chance to escape.

As a result, just as he jumped out of the battlefield, a Chaos Egg came crashing down on him.

The Chaos Egg has no rationality!

Their behavior is uncontrollable; they kill indiscriminately, friend or foe. Their fate is either to be hacked to death on the battlefield, devoured by even more brutal creatures, or torn apart by the psionic energy that constantly flows through their bodies.

Even if the Church wanted to use the Chaos Egg, it could only guide it to the enemy's side.

Thus, the moment the two sides met, a frenzied battle ensued.

He finally managed to defeat the Chaos Egg and successfully jumped out of several layers of cracks.

As a result, they ran into Li Yelai.
No problem. He could tell that Li Ye was a second-level psychic, while he himself was a fifth-level psychic. Even though he was seriously injured, killing a second-level psychic was still a piece of cake.
But the problem is that there are fifteen third and fourth sense processors standing next to Li Yelai!

I went numb on the spot!
Faced with so many processors, he might as well go back and find a night watchman to fight one-on-one or continue dealing with the Chaos Egg!
So, in a fit of shock and anger, he turned to flee back down.

However, before he could escape a few steps, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared before him.

She was dressed in a long robe and held a two-handed greatsword.

His beautiful face was cold and aloof, like a grim reaper!
The chosen servants were horrified and raised their guns, only to find their vision beginning to spin erratically, and they saw a headless corpse floating in mid-air.

It looks so familiar...it's my own corpse!
"Why is there a Sixth Sense in this position?" These were his last thoughts.

The newcomer was none other than the Little Mad King, who had been hiding in the shadows all along.

She made a powerful appearance and instantly killed the five-sense psychic!
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Little Mad King and the head lying at their feet, Ben Lei and the others looked solemn and became wary.

Little Mad King didn't care. He grabbed the falling headless corpse and tossed it aside.

He then looked at Li Ye and said, "Very good, let's try leading him somewhere else. I'll be here."

Li Yelai looked at the Little Mad King and nodded slightly: "I'll try my best!"

Then, Little Mad King suddenly disappeared again, and no one knows where he is hiding.

This also brought a slight sense of relief to everyone, because due to the curse, they simply couldn't trust the Little Mad King, even though he had killed a powerful enemy right before their eyes.
Li Yelai didn't need to worry about that. After everyone found a sturdy passage to use as a defensive position, he activated his face mask again.

We're bound to encounter a formidable foe, right?

Come on, I'm not afraid anymore!

However, in the next ten minutes or so, more and more handlers rushed to Li Yelai's side, with nearly a hundred handlers standing nearby.

But no new enemies have emerged.

This puzzled the processors who wanted to "wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump".

"Could it be that the captain and the others have already finished all the work?"

"Shouldn't it?"

"Did they fail to escape?"

As they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a train whistle.

"An underground train? A subway?" Li Yelai looked at Benlei in astonishment.

Benlei exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! If they were secretly building and using the subway, the giant city would have discovered them long ago!"

The next second, a long tunnel suddenly opened up in the wall beside Li Yelai.

At the same time, two tracks suddenly appeared and instantly spread past Li Yelai's feet.

And it runs straight through layers of building walls and steel bars.

The walls seemed to come alive, automatically opening up passageways for the tracks.

Then, a piercing siren sounded, and a blinding searchlight shone out, illuminating Li Yelai's face from afar.

There really was a train, and they even built a tunnel that went straight through the ground to the surface!
Li Yelai happened to be in this tunnel.

Looking at the train approaching you in the distance.

Li Ye was dumbfounded. Wasn't he supposed to encounter a powerful enemy? Why is a train coming to hit him?
Outside the train, the fighting continued, with several captains attacking the train carriages.

But they were blocked by God's chosen servants and followers who were desperately defending themselves.

At the same time, as the train passed, the walls that had been breached instantly closed, repeatedly preventing the captains from getting closer.

It is not possible to break into the carriage in a short period of time.

Inside the carriage, the chosen one, clad in a blood-red robe, sneered repeatedly.

The Disaster Management Bureau is indeed quite capable, but it still can't save itself!
He possessed the trump card of the Yellow Springs Train, a Class B forbidden item, which allowed him to expend spiritual energy to create any path. He could practically ignore any physical obstacles!
I'll just drive this out of the city myself, what can you do to me?

On the other side, Yang Chen looked at the wall that had suddenly returned to its original state and blocked his way, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Using vehicles was your biggest mistake!"

Then, Yang Chen said into his earpiece, "They should be heading towards Night General. Let Night General get in the car, ensuring safety!"
