Let's start by analyzing the sun

Chapter 89: Another Outer God?

At this moment.

Facing the panicked Miss Liuying.

Long Xingyun remained unmoved, simply reassuring her: "Miss Mei, please relax. This is just the Shadow of Deceit affecting your mind, causing you to experience an illusion."

Cheng Han's lips twitched slightly as he listened.

If one believed that the Shadow of Deceit killed by "devouring," then the sensation of being "pulled" did indeed sound like an illusion.

He knew very well that top human experts could suppress Outer Gods, so they couldn't be ignorant about the Shadow of Deceit.

However, this world was not in the information age, and the isolated nature of the Spirit Realm society meant that information circulated very slowly. Long Xingyun had only obtained limited information, leading to his mistaken understanding of the Shadow of Deceit.

A series of thoughts flashed through Cheng Han's mind, and he quickly muttered, "Deduction!"

An illusion appeared:

Within the Shadow of Deceit, a faint gray shadow was faintly hidden, seemingly slowly opening.

It really is a gate to another world!

Driven by fear, Miss Liuying instinctively sought support, stumbling towards Long Xingyun, who was closer, and wrapping her arms around his thick waist.

Seeing that she was just a weak woman, and somewhat attractive, Long Xingyun, driven by some male instinct, did not dodge.

The fellow even reached out a large hand and patted Miss Liuying's back.

The next moment.

A terrifying scene appeared.

The ever-changing Shadow of Deceit suddenly swelled up, transforming into a gigantic black mouth, instantly swallowing both of them.

In the blink of an eye.

The Shadow of Deceit disappeared.

The spot where they stood was completely empty.

A moment later.

The illusion vanished like a bubble.

Cheng Han's expression changed slightly.

No!

I must save them!

Cheng Han decisively took two steps forward and shouted, "斩! (Cut!)"

His mental energy condensed into a blade, slashing towards the Shadow of Deceit with extreme speed.

It was the Soul-Shaking Strike.

This strike mobilized even more mental energy, making it even more powerful than the last time. He deliberately loosened his control over his mind, causing the power to be somewhat dispersed, and the aftershock affected Long Xingyun.

With one strike.

The effect was immediate.

The Shadow of Deceit's wriggling speed greatly slowed down.

Long Xingyun's mind was struck, and his brain went blank for a moment.

Cheng Han stepped forward again, quietly activating the Spirit Halo Remnant Seal, and shouted, "Miss Guan, please don't panic. The Patrol Department can ensure your safety."

This voice contained the supernatural power to soothe the mind, which had the same effect as the later forms of the Nine Yuan Strengthening Style, but the former's effect was better.

Those below the level of Mystic Practitioner had no ability to distinguish between the Remnant Seal's fluctuations and Source Energy fluctuations, so he could use the Remnant Seal's power with confidence.

Miss Liuying's panic subsided greatly in an instant.

Cheng Han stepped forward again, gently patted Miss Liuying's shoulder, and released a tiny amount of True Flame power.

This pat was the most crucial part of the rescue plan.

According to the deduction results, the Shadow of Deceit represented 'Eternal Night's Darkness,' while the True Flame Remnant Seal represented Eternal Light. The two were naturally opposing forces.

With the light here, would a mere darkness be able to drag him into the gate to another world?

Think too much!

Of course.

If the Shadow of Deceit was a thousand times stronger, and the darkness completely overwhelmed the light, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Pa!"

The palm landed.

The Shadow of Deceit wriggled even slower.

Cheng Han quickly performed a second deduction and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In the illusion presented by the All-Knowing Eye, the gray shadow in the Shadow of Deceit had disappeared at some point, indicating that the gate to another world had closed.

Solved!

To make a move under the Patrol Captain's nose, while preventing him from noticing, was really too troublesome!

At this time.

Miss Liuying came back to her senses, grabbed Cheng Han's arm, and burst into tears.

Cheng Han felt a little awkward.

Long Xingyun also recovered from the shock.

He was horrified. It turned out that this kid's Soul-Shaking Strike was stronger than he had imagined. The previous strike had actually been reserved.

What an amazing student!

Long Xingyun glanced at Miss Liuying, winking and said, "Cheng Han, do you need me to go out for a bit? That way, it'll be easier for you to comfort Miss Guan."

The word "comfort" had a different meaning.

This was clearly a boring and vulgar joke.

Having a relationship with the detainee that exceeded the norm while guarding the Shadow of Deceit was definitely a serious violation of the law and would be severely punished.

Cheng Han glared at this guy unhappily.

This young master saved your life, and you're still making fun of me?!

Too much!

However.

Long Xingyun quickly returned to his pretense of being a serious person.

This guy laughed: "Miss Guan, the Shadow of Deceit under your feet isn't moving now. I said earlier that it was just your illusion. Do you believe it now?"

Miss Liuying sobbed and looked down at the ground.

Sure enough.

The Shadow of Deceit stopped wriggling, as if it had become a real shadow.

She stared at the motionless black shadow, crying and laughing: "Shadow… Waa, it's much lighter than before… Waa, am I going to be okay soon?"

Upon closer inspection, the color of the Shadow of Deceit was indeed much lighter than before.

Long Xingyun nodded and said: "According to the Patrol Department's years of experience, this should be a sign that the Shadow of Deceit is receding. It may disappear completely in half a day to a day."

Miss Liuying cried again.

But this time it was tears of joy.

Long Xingyun's expression carried a hint of smugness: "Miss Guan, please believe in the Patrol Department's professional competence. We have the ability to deal with all kinds of anomalies."

Cheng Han took the opportunity to pull out his arm and retreated to the door.

He muttered to himself: What professional competence do you have? If I hadn't resolved the crisis, you would have become a pioneer in exploring another world long ago.

No.

Perhaps "martyr" is a more accurate description.

*

In the following time.

Everything was calm.

Miss Liuying took the medicine again and fell into a drowsy state.

This wasn't to help her sleep, but to stabilize her mental state, which could avoid stimulating the Shadow of Deceit and help speed up its dissipation.

Cheng Han stared at the Shadow of Deceit, recalling the "gate" just now, and muttered, "Deduction!"

The gate to another world had actively appeared just now, so the All-Knowing Eye must be able to analyze more knowledge from it. The so-called "danger contains opportunity" is exactly this principle.

A chill rose.

Mental energy plummeted.

A torrent of information poured out.

Mixed in with it were some fragmented and bizarre images.

For example, withered and barren land, dotted with deep, bottomless ravines; and for example, boundless black gas covering the earth, with occasional ghostly shadows flashing past, like specters.

There was also a piece of information – that place was called "Eternal Dark Wasteland".

Confirmed!

It really is another world!

After a few breaths, a prompt message flashed: "Proficiency +224, current proficiency is 1598/3000, mental energy is 18.4/34.4."

Cheng Han slightly grinned.

Analyzing high-level existences really gives a lot of proficiency!

The progress bar is more than halfway, a profit!

After digesting the knowledge, thoughts flooded his mind.

"The Shadow of Deceit originates from a power called 'Eternal Night's Darkness'. 'Eternal Dark Wasteland' is highly similar to this term, so there must be a close connection between the two.

"The Eternal Dark Wasteland will never be small, and there are some strange life forms. From a logical point of view, there is probably a super powerful existence controlling that place."

The ancient land was ruled by three Outer Gods; the current human world is ruled by top experts.

In the presence of supernatural power, the Eternal Dark Wasteland is unlikely to be an unclaimed land.

This conclusion startled Cheng Han: "Could it be that a strongman whose power is comparable to an Outer God, no, perhaps another Outer God, is spying on our world?"

The possibility is very high!

He couldn't help sighing: "How many unknown secrets are hidden in this world?"

Long Xingyun saw that he had been in a daze and asked curiously, "Cheng Han, what are you thinking about?"

Cheng Han didn't answer, but tentatively asked: "Patrol Captain, I would like to ask, besides the three Outer Gods, are there any other Outer Gods in this world?"

He thought that the other party had served the official for many years and might know some inside information.

However.

The answer was disappointing.

Long Xingyun shook his head and laughed: "Even the three Outer Gods have been suppressed, how could there be any other Outer Gods? You kid are really fantasizing."

Cheng Han casually echoed "I was just thinking nonsense", but shook his head secretly.

Never mind!

Ignorance is also a kind of happiness!

*

Two hours later.

This shift ended.

Two patrolmen entered the bedroom on time, replacing Cheng Han and Long Xingyun.

Cheng Han strolled out of the house, looked up at the night sky, and couldn't help complaining: "Too bad."

The previous promise to Long Jingshan was only to help No. 15 Middle School get into the top five, but saving the Patrol Captain's life far exceeded the scope of the promise.

I have to add money!

That's right, the money I've saved is almost enough. I can go see the Feathered Beast another day.

Thanks to 'Not Entering the Dao' for the reward!
