Although Lin Yuan and Zhong Ling established a relationship within a few hours of meeting, he didn't take it seriously.

Zhong Ling's status was still incomparable to that of the other women. Therefore, Lin Yuan kept scrutinizing Zhong Ling with a critical eye and pondering her words.

Finally, Lin Yuan found a loophole.

He asked, "You said that subterranean creatures have never been discovered or recorded by human society, and that the so-called All-Seeing Eye was originally a lump of flesh that gained more organs by devouring other creatures. But... that monster just now was entirely made up of human organs. How do you explain that?"

Zhong Ling didn't react much to Lin Yuan's probing questions. Instead, she slowly explained, "That's why I said the Omniscient Eye I saw this time is different from the one I saw in the intelligence data. The Omniscient Eye in the picture book I saw had organs from various other animals on its body, and some of these animals are even rare on this planet."

"So what's going on this time?" Lin Yuan asked.

"It's very simple."

Zhong Ling said, "I guess that the All-Seeing Eye is indeed the All-Seeing Eye, but when it was discovered, it was probably still in its juvenile form, its initial form. In the end, it was controlled by someone and fed to zombies or humans, which is why its whole body is made up of human organs."

"And... while the All-Seeing Eye was very powerful for ordinary people in the past, for evolved beings, especially those of your level, its All-Seeing Rules do not exert such a strong suppressive force. The reason why you were also affected back then can only mean that those fed this All-Seeing Eye were likely evolved beings or evolved zombies."

Zhong Ling spoke calmly, seemingly lost in thought herself.

This actually makes her words seem more credible.

“You can continue to ask if you have any questions,” Zhong Ling said. “But I’ve already told you that this is top secret information, so I’ll be charging you for it.”

"I need to be sure that what you're saying is true first." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Also, although humans haven't explored the underground and there are still many deep seas that haven't been explored, if the survival rules of the All-Seeing Eye are like this, they must have left traces on Earth. Is it because they can't appear on the surface that they haven't appeared yet?" Lin Yuan asked.

Zhong Ling nodded: "You are really smart."

"So, the fact that they can now appear on the ground means that something has changed about this planet," Lin Yuan said in a deep voice. "Do you know what this change is?"

“I’m sorry, if we knew all this, we would probably have solved the real mystery of this apocalypse. However, although we don’t know the root cause, we have done some research on the superficial changes brought about by the fundamental change.” Zhong Ling said, “Magnetic field! We once suspected that perhaps the change in the magnetic field has allowed those underground and marine creatures to ignore that rule of nature.”

Lin Yuan fell silent.

The magnetic field has indeed changed; the team of scientists had discussed this before.

No matter how you look at it, this woman doesn't seem to be lying, and she really did encounter the All-Seeing Eye today!

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Lin Yuan looked at the women, wanting to hear their thoughts or opinions.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qian raised her hand and asked excitedly, "Sister Zhong Ling, could this be related to aliens? Are there really aliens? Have you found any alien corpses?"

"..."

Lin Yuan and the women were all speechless.

Jiang Qian seems to have some kind of obsession with aliens!

However, Zhong Ling responded with a serious expression, "We have also suspected the influence of extraterrestrial civilizations on Earth, but we cannot confirm it, nor have we found any alien corpses or anything like that. I cannot answer that for you. I can only say that we cannot rule out the possibility. This is an era where anything is possible. Traditional science, along with the technology tree, has collapsed, but has grown branches of mysticism. Many things cannot be explained."

Jiang Qian was very satisfied with this answer.

Liu Yun's focus was different. She stared intently at Zhong Ling and asked, "I want to ask, besides the All-Seeing Eye, what other subterranean creatures are there? What are their fighting forms? Was today's so-called All-Seeing Eye a mental attack, a physical attack, or something else?"

As expected of a woman born for battle, Liu Yun seems to be able to accept any enemy. However, after accepting them, she will try to understand them and then defeat them.

They don't care whether it's the All-Seeing Eye or not.

"Humph!"

Zhong Ling first snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with Liu Yun's cold face, but still answered: "Of course there are other creatures. The data and diagrams we see are also incomplete. There are many underground creatures, and most of them actually have more physical attack methods, such as being able to withstand high temperatures, having a hard body, being able to regenerate, and being highly poisonous, etc."

"Existences like the All-Seeing Eye are relatively rare; their attacks are more like attacks of rules. Once a target is stared at by its eyeballs, it becomes unable to move and its consciousness becomes confused. It only needs so many eyeballs to deal with Lin Yuan. I'm afraid that a few eyeballs would be enough to render an ordinary person incapacitated."

Lin Yuan held a different attitude on this point.

It was less of a rule-based attack and more of a gathering and dispersing of energy, because both Eagle Eye and telekinesis could actually neutralize that force; it was just that Lin Yuan had already fallen into the trap.

"For example, as far as I know, there is another creature we call the Shadow. It is shaped like a shadow and can stretch at will, either clinging to the ground or floating, and can move freely. Its attack method is to burrow into the interior of a creature and release electricity or venom."

Zhong Ling shrugged. “Some of us think it’s not actually a shadow, but an atmospheric creature. However, we don’t know its specific elemental composition, and we’ve never even seen one, so we can’t verify it.”

The women were shocked once again.

If the All-Seeing Eye at least has a physical form, then this so-called Shadow is too outrageous. If you really encountered such an existence, wouldn't it be impossible to defend against it?

Lin Yuan disagreed. So-called subterranean creatures are still living beings. No matter how the world changes, they must still abide by the law of conservation of energy. Since it can release energy, it must have a source of energy. Since it exists, it can't possibly be a shadow. Therefore, it's impossible for it to be truly undefendable.

"How much do you know about subterranean and marine life?" Lin Yuan asked.

“I don’t know much. This intelligence was obtained at the cost of many teammates’ lives. The investigation is still ongoing, but I’m no longer in that organization,” Zhong Ling said.

"Why?" Lin Yuan was quite curious about this.

“Because the deeper you investigate, the more likely you are to go crazy.” Zhong Ling smiled. “Don’t even think about trying to trick me into telling you anything. I helped you today, and I even sacrificed my body for you. Don’t you have any conscience?”

"You offered yourself up, so it's not my fault."
