Chapter 821 Ontology
"The Soul Return talent can summon back the souls of the dead from the sea of ​​blood?"

The game helmet itself is a combination of monsters from the Blood Sea and the will of the New Shanghai Blood City. By combining the monsters' abilities, Gao Ming naturally deduced the effect of soul return.

The gate to hell before him seemed like a mirror reflecting all the pain and despair. Gao Ming stared at his reflection in the sea of ​​blood, and all the memories in his mind were brutally crushed by a voice—jump in!

It was as if a million souls were crying out at the same time, and countless arms seemed to be hidden beneath the boundless blood-red sea, reaching upwards to drag Gao Ming through the gates of hell.

"This is the sea of ​​blood?"

The Deep World consists of three parts: the lingering black mist, the endless sea of ​​blood, and the land formed from the despair and forgotten memories of the human world.

Compared to the black mist and the earth, the Blood Sea is the most dangerous. In the memories passed down from the Ghost Mark of the Blood City of the Vast Sea, there is very little information about the Blood Sea. It's not that the previous Lord of the Vast Sea deliberately concealed it, but rather that he was unwilling to approach that area casually.

The voices urging Gao Ming to jump in grew louder and louder. The calm sea gradually began to ripple in Gao Ming's eyes. Faces of the dead flashed by in the waves, and the splashing water was about to hit Gao Ming.

The system, trapped in the center of the ten fingers, struggled painfully, constantly warning Gao Ming, but it could do nothing to Gao Ming except warn him. In order to protect players using game helmets, the creators imposed many restrictions on this monster, so the two sides were not equal to each other.

Of course, the creator never imagined that one day, his game helmet would be worn by other Blood City owners.

"Warning! An extremely dangerous source has been detected approaching!"

"Warning! The soul-returning ritual has exceeded thirty seconds! The set safe time has been exceeded!"

"Warning! Player's mental threshold is abnormal; intrusion by a strange entity detected! Stop immediately! Stop immediately!"

Gao Ming felt that the system's originally cold, mechanical synthesized voice had taken on a sobbing tone. If he didn't have important business to attend to, he probably would have softened: "Wait a little longer. I need to find traces left by your previous owner."

Gao Ming's will leaped over the Gate of Hell and plunged into the Sea of ​​Blood. In that instant, it was as if a spoonful of water had been poured into a pot of hot oil. Blood waves exploded, a foul wind howled, and a large shadow rapidly approached from beneath the surface of the sea. Even with the Blood City Lord's abilities, he could not see what the other party was. He only knew that the other party's body was extremely large and carried an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"Warning! Warning!"

The second-hand system was practically shouting itself hoarse, and Gao Ming did indeed feel the threat. Before that shadow rose to the surface, he retreated to Xinhu and closed the Ghost Gate as quickly as possible.

The blood-red cracks on the system panel slowly healed. The part of Xinhu's will hiding in the jellyfish monster's brain was still shaken. This was the first time the system had encountered such an indescribable host. It didn't care about its own life at all and never acted according to the system's reminders. When it was in a good mood, it would even kidnap and coerce the system.

"Do you have a problem with me?" The three words "Level One" above Gao Ming's head were inexplicably glaring: "The power of the rules of the Blood City of Vast Ocean is deeply integrated with you. I can sense exactly what you are thinking."

As the lord of Blood City, Gao Ming wouldn't bother with a second-hand system. He stroked the game panel, making the second-hand system's "hair stand on end" and "shiver down his spine".

“My subordinates are protected by the will of the New Shanghai Blood City, which prevents me from finding them. Therefore, I want to gain the approval of the New Shanghai Will. As you can see, I am not a bad person. If I cannot find them, I can only enter the Blood Sea through the Ghost Gate to find the savior.” Gao Ming was stating the facts, but the Dream Ghosts beside him felt that their city lord was threatening a system. The lingering New Shanghai Will in the Channel Jellyfish's mind struggled for a long time, but ultimately decided to believe Gao Ming this time, mainly because there was no other way to disbelieve him.

The fragmented will actively merged into Gao Ming's Blood City Ghost Mark. He was unable to use the rules of the New Shanghai Blood City, but his body was tainted with the aura of the New Shanghai Blood City, and the sense of rejection and suppression immediately disappeared.

"Thank you." Gao Ming felt that this was the healthy way to get along with the system: equality, respect, and no exploitation.

Standing in the center of the five shrines, Gao Ming took out the second walkie-talkie from the torture chamber, turned the knob, and tried to communicate with the other party using different channels. However, the second person was too cautious and did not respond.

"Could this guy think I've been killed and that the walkie-talkie has been taken by another blood city?" When Gao Ming and Number Two parted ways, the Blood City of Vast Ocean had not yet been rebuilt, the future was uncertain, and the situation was dangerous. Number Two's caution was not wrong.

"Luckily, I had a backup plan." Gao Ming found a bloodstained chain. Bai Xiao had entered the torture chamber before, and his fate was intertwined with Gao Ming's. As long as the will of the New Shanghai Blood City didn't interfere, finding the other was only a matter of time.

"There should be other unspeakable hiding places in the new Blood City of Shanghai. Go find them, whether they are dead or alive, you can bring them back, but remember, never leave the new Blood City of Shanghai." After Gao Ming finished giving his instructions, he had the Flesh and Blood Demon God cushion the blood-red unspeakable skin, carried Shen Luo, and headed towards the place where Bai Xiao might be.

"Meng Shi's memories led me to this abandoned paradise. After digging through layers of seals, I found a living person hidden where even flower petals would not tolerate, in the place where a shrine should have been placed."

Hearing Gao Ming's mutterings, Shen Luo felt slightly embarrassed. He felt that the person who was disliked by the petals might be referring to himself: "When the disaster broke out, I sought help everywhere and watched many players being eaten. I hated those monsters but was powerless to do anything about it. I lived in fear every day until I was caught by them. What made it even more painful was that even they were unwilling to kill me."

"What? Afraid of getting your hands dirty?" Gao Ming's casual remark disrupted Shen Luo's carefully crafted emotions. He missed his savior even more. Although the master of Xin Hu always avoided him, at least his words were very soothing.

Looking at Shen Luo's resentful eyes, Gao Ming smiled slightly: "Under this night sky shrouded in destiny, everyone's fate is predetermined from birth. You possess a dark destiny that I have never seen before, which means that you were born extraordinary. Your existence is cause and effect, a calamity."

"Oh? Really?" Shen Luo's eyes lit up instantly, while Yan Xizhi, who was a little further away, shook her head slightly and muttered softly.

"This child is so easy to please."

The new Shanghai Blood City was very large. Gao Ming searched for a long time and finally caught up with Bai Xiao at a senior activity center.

The monsters who followed Number Two and Bai Xiao into the New Shanghai Blood City were almost all wiped out, with only a few wisps of their souls attaching themselves to Bai Xiao.

In order to contact the saviors, Bai Xiao and Number Two operated under the watchful eyes of several unspeakable people, risking their lives many times. Fortunately, the will of the New Shanghai Blood City took the initiative to protect them, which is why they have survived until now.

When Gao Ming saw Bai Xiao again, he barely recognized him. Half of his body was broken and barely held together by red threads. Every inch of his skin was covered with his crimes.
