At the moment the teleportation started, Wen Yu immediately activated the concealment effect of the Heaven-Covering Robe.
Although the teleportation was abrupt and swift, it didn't cause any trouble for Wen Yu.
Even when he found himself in a bustling square, he was not worried about being discovered, let alone in this empty steel corridor.
After taking a quick look around, Wen Yu noticed that the simple and plain design of the steel corridor was accompanied by various strange items embedded in the walls, indicating that the security here was indeed quite strict.
"Seems like I've entered a crucial area..."
"And this mission... appears to be quite troublesome..."
Only after arriving here did Wen Yu realize the complexity of the operation.
Infiltration was just the first step; the next task was to locate the origin pool—but how to find it? As Bai said, it would depend on adaptability... With some luck, he might be teleported directly to the origin pool, but if luck wasn't on his side, he would need to rely on his skills.
Unfortunately, the luck of the Great Chieftain of Africa clearly wasn't that great...
After reaching this conclusion, Wen Yu slowly floated upwards and flew in a specific direction.
...
Evan was having a rather unlucky day.
An experiment had gone wrong, and his painstaking work over the past six months was declared a complete failure. Not only that, but the laboratory, which he was solely responsible for, was taken over by higher-ups.
He didn't know whose idea it was, but as a level one researcher, he was inexplicably assigned to work as an assistant in the laboratory of his old rival—Nis!
Imagining that he would have to face Nis, the tentacled creature… Evan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine…
Damn it, Nis has been eyeing my beauty for quite some time now; this time, it's going to be troublesome.
However, Evan slightly underestimated the extent of his misfortune.
On his way back to the dormitory, a myriad of thoughts swirled in Evan's mind. While he was contemplating how to guard against Nis's "sexual harassment," a greater tragedy befell him.
The scene before him became vague and distorted; just when Evan sensed that something was off, a thin and tall figure appeared before his eyes.
With fair skin and somewhat unconventional features for a black-skinned demon creature, he wore a black robe emanating a terrifying aura.
Muddled in thought, Evan reacted somewhat sluggishly and opened his mouth, asking blankly, "Who are you?"
...
"Who are you?"
Faced with Evan's somewhat naive inquiry, Wen Yu fell silent.
The black-skinned demon creature in front of Wen Yu, although powerful at level eight, showed no caution typical of a warrior.
Clad in a grim gray robe smeared with various odd impurities, its eyes appeared somewhat dazed, and its head was slightly larger in proportion compared to a normal black-skinned demon creature.
But none of that mattered; what was important was that after waiting for an hour, Wen Yu finally caught his prey.
Wen Yu did not answer the question about "who I am." Instead, he extended his palm and directly brushed it against the black-skinned demon creature's head. It was only then that Evan realized what was happening.
"Help! There's an assassin!"
Panicking like a little chick...
Alright, now Wen Yu could confirm that this guy was definitely not a warrior.
Evan's cries for help received no response. When Wen Yu's palm made contact with Evan's head, Evan's body seemed to lose all strength and directly collapsed to the ground.
His life force instantly dissipated, yet the glow of his soul that blossomed from his body appeared glaringly obvious to Wen Yu.
The soul creation technique activated.
The dissipating soul light was completely absorbed into Wen Yu's palm. As the soul creation technique took effect, strands of discarded emotions and feelings were transformed into Creation Energy.
The pure soul power enhanced Wen Yu's soul strength, and more importantly, it extracted memories from Evan's soul.
