Chapter 166 00166
166 Chapter - It Was Them After All.
Ye Yao couldn't keep such a harmful thing around for long.
Of course, she couldn't just throw it away like garbage either.
Mu Luo seemed capable of sealing it.
But who knew if the flame had other hidden dangers?
They could only try giving it to Gu Wenxin to see if its remaining value could be squeezed out.
Since Gu Wenxin could 'Slay Evil' to enhance his Spiritual Power.
Could this 'Pure Evil' also serve as an experience package?
Gu Wenxin nodded and silently drew his blade.
The moment his gaze locked onto the purple flame, his Spiritual Power rapidly surged.
The blade in his hand emitted a strange light.
Mysterious light particles circled around it.
The Supernatural Ability 【Slaying Evil】 was successfully activated!
Mu Luo raised his hand and presented a Dark Erosion Container to Gu Wenxin.
Under his intense aura, the previously silent, burning flame began to flicker.
As if it were being blown by the wind.
It hadn't shown any movement like that before.
Gu Wenxin said nothing, decisively bringing down his sword, cutting both the flame and the Dark Erosion Container in half.
The entire process was smooth and easy, like slicing vegetables.
The purple flame quickly dissipated the moment it touched the blade.
Bang!
Ye Yao focused her attention on Gu Wenxin.
【Supernatural Ability: Slaying Evil.
Spiritual Power: 2940 → 3140】
A full two hundred point increase!
He broke past the three thousand mark, instantly reaching the Strong A-Class!
His bottleneck was completely shattered.
She hadn't expected the flame could really serve as an experience package for Gu Wenxin.
Ye Yao felt a pang of regret recalling how she had just blown up Sequence 066 like a firework.
Damn it!
She should have dug out the flame inside him before sending him sky-high.
Now look what happened.
She lost an experience package.
What a waste!
After slaying one flame, Gu Wenxin calmed his mind.
"There was an improvement."
Xia Lian cast him an envious glance.
"That's so great~ I wish I could increase my Spiritual Power like that too."
Ye Yao nodded: "It's fine, we can still get the boost from Wu Mi."
There is still one flame left.
It should be able to give Gu Wenxin one more boost.
However, after the next boost, they might not be able to rely on Wu Mi for the Circulation State anymore.
Without the ouroboros ring, their endurance is greatly reduced.
"We'll keep the remaining flame for now; we can give it to the Countermeasure Bureau for research."
Ye Yao already had a plan in mind.
Since they had become a neutral faction.
They could tentatively cooperate with the Countermeasure Bureau.
The Shelter is a common enemy, and the Countermeasure Bureau also has many experts.
If the Countermeasure Bureau researches anything, the main body can find out from Lou Wei.
Ye Yao felt it was necessary to ease the tension between Sequence Zero and the Countermeasure Bureau.
She still had some things she wanted to ask the Countermeasure Bureau.
Gu Wenxin put away his blade.
He had no objection to Ye Yao's decision.
He didn't have much attachment to inanimate objects themselves.
What mattered was the person who created the kindling.
The people spreading 'evil' were the ones who truly deserved death.
Ye Yao had Mu Luo use the Dark Erosion Container to store the flame.
She then asked Jiang Huashen for the Spatial Scroll to put it inside.
She also called Wu Mi over to apply the Circulation State.
Only with this triple layer of protection did she feel slightly relieved.
"Okay~ Let's keep the music playing and the dancing going.
Mu Luo! Go buy some more skewers!
Wait, no, we should prepare a barbecue grill and things like that.
We can have barbecues ourselves in the courtyard later."
Just as Ye Yao's split body was enjoying skewers.
A serious meeting was being held on the Countermeasure Bureau's {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} side.
The incident involving Sequence Zero in a certain city had to be taken seriously.
Setting aside the "Little Sun" that could blow up a city.
They could just assume sequence 002 was too young and didn't know how to restrain herself.
That silver-haired girl was so young, seemingly still in her rebellious teenage years.
It was reasonable for her not to be steady enough.
The crucial point was the news received that the Shelter could mass-produce rampaging S-Class Espers.
This forced them to take it seriously.
Lou Wei attended the meeting with others in the neighborhood conference room.
Some decision-makers were discussing this matter gravely.
"We still underestimated the Shelter's capabilities.
We originally thought their ability to make Ability Users rampage was already troublesome enough.
We didn't expect that after ramping up, they could break through the limits of S-Class.
If this situation were to occur in a place without S-Class combat power stationed... the resulting casualties would be an unacceptable number for us."
The Head of the Intelligence Department compared this to previous intelligence reports.
"This situation should only be an isolated case.
S-Class individuals rarely appear in Ability User rampaging incidents caused by the Shelter.
Sequence 096 before, sequence 029 last time, and the two individuals this time besides Sequence 066, were all within the A-Class range.
There were no S-Class situations in suspected Shelter-induced Ability User rampaging incidents across various regions.
Only Sequence 066 broke through the limit this time."
"Even so, this can't be called a good thing. The important thing is that this possibility exists.
If this possibility happens again, we cannot bear the cost of solving the problem."
Many people felt immense pressure.
The Shelter is like rats in a sewer.
They are usually nowhere to be found.
But they emerge at night to contaminate everything.
Crucially, they won't act themselves.
They only utilize High-Risk Sequences hidden in society.
If only the Intelligence Department were more effective.
Everyone couldn't help but look at one person.
The Head of the Intelligence Department shook his head wearily.
"Stop pressuring me, I'm already burning out."
It's sequence 001's background, sequence 002's life traces, plus the Shelter.
A pile of important matters is weighing him down.
If he didn't have some ability to handle stress, he would eventually suffer a mental breakdown.
Everyone withdrew their scrutinizing gazes.
Applying pressure should be done in moderation.
Lest the Head of Intelligence retire and return home.
The Intelligence Department is currently short-staffed.
Before, the Prophet occasionally helped out.
Now, only he is left holding the banner.
"Now, let's return to Sequence Zero."
As soon as this was said.
Everyone looked at the incident report in their hands.
It recorded the communication between sequence 002 and the local Countermeasure Bureau members.
Lou Wei glanced at it.
He couldn't help but fall silent.
It seemed she hadn't learned her lesson from the last time she was told to curb her arrogance and impatience.
"Sigh... they really did it."
Many veterans covered their heads, feeling a headache coming on.
Sequence 033 appeared in this incident.
And she was following Sequence Zero.
They didn't even need to think to know what was going on.
"Heh... they showed us a little respect, but not much, at least they knew to pin the blame on the Shelter."
"From the report, Sequence 033's condition seems decent; they likely have a way to temporarily suppress the issues she has."
"Given that they handled this crisis, we'll just treat it as the Shelter's doing, and Sequence 033 will be managed by Sequence Zero."
The Countermeasure Bureau had no choice but to accept this situation.
They couldn't possibly re-designate them as a hostile faction.
It was somewhat inappropriate now.
Not to mention sequence 002's abundant combat strength.
Their other members are also top-tier experts.
More importantly, there is the issue of sequence 002's identity.
She is sequence 001's older sister.
No matter what, they could not treat her as an enemy.
Lou Wei and Xiao Jing confirmed that sequence 001 still cares about his relatives scattered outside.
The two sisters might meet someday.
To maintain sequence 001's emotional stability.
They must treat Sequence Zero cautiously regardless of the circumstances.
