Chapter 358 The World is Connecting with the Secret World

Among the two hundred mysterious agency agents, more than a dozen nearly fell to their knees on the spot.

The images sent back by the drone were clear and stunning. Astrid was dressed in a heroic outfit. She already had a good-looking face and figure, and she had removed the messy Gothic smoky makeup of the [Witch]—

Many agents felt a strong sense of admiration for him.

Most of them are male agents, and a few are female agents.

Most of them are single, and a few are married.

However, because the Valkyrie's brilliance is too dazzling, most of them only dare to hide their admiration in their hearts, and do not have the courage or confidence to really pursue the Valkyrie.

Ed Nelson immediately took off and headed straight for the mountain, issuing orders: "Everyone - follow me to welcome the Valkyrie!"

"And prepare for the cleanup afterwards."

All the people present were combatants, there were no cleanup crew members.

However, at this time everyone was proud to be able to help the Valkyrie with the cleanup, and followed with great enthusiasm.

If you can fly, fly. You don't have to jump into a car and just step on the accelerator to the maximum.

Stanley frowned slightly and did not follow.

Even Karel went along.

Stanley was keenly aware that Ed Nelson's real purpose was probably not the so-called "clean-up", but the strange corpses all over the battlefield.

Stanley sneered secretly: Want to get a piece of the pie? He really is a guy who values ​​money over life.

Stanley had been keeping a close eye on Shezhika and the crow.

During the days when Zhang Qingxiang was away, Stanley took good care of them.

Originally, with the strength of Sherika and Blood-Eyed Crow Luke, they didn't need much care. But Sherika's personality was gentle, and Luke's form was not suitable for being in the spotlight.

Among the two hundred agents of the Mysterious Agency Union, there are four sixth-level agents, including Ed Nelson.

The distance was over a hundred kilometers, so it didn't take Ed Nelson long to get there.

Astrid saw Ed Nelson flying in the sky, waved and shouted at him: "Don't come near--"

Ed Nelson had impure motives and deliberately ignored the advice, shouting, "Thank you for your hard work, Excellency!"

"Leave the remaining finishing work to us."

"You can take a rest on the side..."

As he said this, he had already rushed into the battlefield. Suddenly, he staggered in mid-air and almost fell down.

The dozen or so agents with flying abilities following behind him, like him, staggered as soon as they rushed into the battlefield, and then plunged to the ground!
Ed Nelson stepped back in a hurry: "What a strong infection!"

Astrid rushed forward quickly, grabbed the agents who had fallen headfirst, and threw them out one by one.

She shouted, "The infection value here is seriously over the limit, get out!"

Very rude - Astrid's true temperament.

But now it is hidden from the "master".

Ed Nelson retreated to a safe area and checked himself, his face changed. In just a few seconds, the infection value on his body had soared to the point where he had to be cleaned!
And these infection values ​​are simply caused by the radiation from those strange corpses.

"What level are these monsters? When they were alive, they were so powerful that we couldn't even imagine..."

There were two [Doctors] among the two hundred agents. After they arrived, they immediately started to clean up everyone.

Ed Nelson was just outside the safe area, watching Astrid dismember those monsters with a greatsword, and then put them neatly into a secret storage.

Ed Nelson was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. What a mistake.

He was a little puzzled. Was Lady Valkyrie a bit of a tidier?
He watched Astrid sorting out the harvest. Stanley met Zhang Qingxiang again in the original camp.

At this time, only he, Shezhika and the Blood-Eyed Crow Luke were left in the camp.

He smiled at Zhang Qingxiang and said nothing.

Zhang Qingxiang also had no explanation.

Zhang Qingxiang did not expect that this time he would have such a huge unexpected gain and completed the third [Battle of Domination]!
When the claw stretched out from the gap in the hexagonal eye, Zhang Qingxiang immediately made a decision: no matter what the cost, he must let this dominant-level monster come out!
At least at this stage, the [Secret World] and the Earth World have not overlapped yet, and the monsters entering the Earth World are purely fighting away from home.

All sides are bad for weirdness.

Zhang Qingxiang is at least 70% sure of winning.

After the battle, Zhang Qingxiang quietly left. Astrid was there, holding the Sword of the Fearless, and together with Jörmungandr, they were enough to calm the situation.

Even if the European Mysterious Agency Federation has some unrealistic delusions and wants to seize certain secret materials by relying on its huge overall strength... Zhang Qingxiang is very sure that they will not succeed.

Because there is a huge hidden danger on the battlefield that is about to explode.

Shezhika and Blood-Eyed Crow occupied a small tent by themselves - this was something that Stanley had fought for them.

Zhang Qingxiang entered the tent, and Xie Rika and Blood-Eyed Crow went out and stood guard at the door.

Xie Rika always felt a little uncomfortable when he was with Zhang Qing.

When he thought about how he and Astrid treated her as a "puppet" not long ago, his face got hot and he could quietly dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Zhang Qingxiang made preparations in the tent, mobilized all his strength, and was naturally promoted to the second level of [Domination Realm].

The process is smooth and short, and does not even require human protection.

In fact, at the second level of the Domination Realm, Zhang Qingxiang’s accumulation is already very profound.

He continuously went in and out of the secret world (outpost), constantly absorbing the mysterious power with the most advanced cultivation method, and also gained insights from the [Five Sons Sandbox].

What is missing is the battle of domination.

Therefore, the promotion process and after the promotion were all done quietly without disturbing others.

It fully embodies the theme of making a fortune in silence.

Shezhika, Luke and Stanley outside were completely unaware of what was happening.

Dozens of minutes later, Zhang Qingxiang came out of the tent, and everyone thought he had just gone in to rest for a while.

"Come on, let's join in the fun."

Zhang Qingxiang said this with a smile, and the other three certainly would not object.

Stanley lowered his head and took the initiative to say, "I'll drive."

The mysterious agency left behind an off-road vehicle, which is a famous luxury car brand in Europe.

Of course, they were allowed to stay because of Stanley, a sixth-level strongman, otherwise they would have been driven away by other agents.

Stanley opened the car door for Zhang Qingxiang, and Zhang Qingxiang didn't think it was wrong.

Times have changed. With Zhang Qingxiang's current status and position, he has long been accustomed to this kind of "courtesy" from people around him.

Stanley closed the car door for Zhang Qing, jogged into the car, and then stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the battlefield.

Astrid slowly cut up the strange corpse, and Zhang Qingxiang slowly came over.

About two hours later, Astrid finished her work and Zhang Qingxiang arrived.

The SUV stopped in the middle of a group of cars without attracting anyone's attention.

But Astrid and Jörmungandr perked up!
Jörmungandr is a secret spirit at the level of Domination. He is like a fish in water in this battlefield with extremely high infection values. His injuries are slowly recovering, and his own strength has also increased slightly without him noticing.

But Astrid always felt weak in her heart!
She could already feel mysterious energy leaking out from the gap in the hexagonal eye.

The power of the master protects me from infection, but I don't know how long this power can protect me.

And the hexagonal eyes are still there, they have never disappeared. If Ed Nelson and the others let me deal with it, I have no idea what to do.

In their eyes, I am an invincible Valkyrie, but I know that I am a fake...

But as soon as her master appeared, Astrid felt at ease.

Ed Nelson was heartbroken when he saw that all the strange corpses were taken away by Astrid.

The two [Doctors] took the lead in cleaning the infection from his body, and Ed Nelson immediately rushed in: "Sir!"

He was outwardly respectful to Astrid: "Can you tell me who you are?"

Astrid said her name, and the deputy behind Ed Nelson immediately turned on his tablet computer, connected to the Internet, searched the system of the Mysterious Agency, and showed the results to Ed Nelson.

The results show: Astrid is wanted!

Ed Nelson smiled and said, "Your past is not so glorious, so we can "talk about it."

"Sir," said Ed Nelson, "we would like to offer you a new identity."

Astrid frowned. Want to recruit me?
If Astrid was really a Valkyrie, both the Sword of the Fearless and Jörmungandr would belong to her, so she might have agreed.

Hope to be recruited.

Unfortunately, Astrid was a fake, so she was doomed to not be recruited, because all her actions had to obey her master.

Ed Nelson still smiled: "You also have family and friends. We will provide you with a new identity and make you a hero of Europa. Your family will be proud of you!"

"We will also provide you with all the supplies you need for your practice."

“Salaries are paid at the highest standards.”

"We may package you into the most famous professional star in the future - you will be more famous than the most popular superstar now!"

Astrid asked, "What do I have to give?"

"You only need to take on some responsibilities, just like other Mystic Agency agents." Ed Nelson revealed his true purpose: "Fight for the Mystic Agency, and in all operations arranged by the Mystic Agency, the gains will be distributed by the Mystic Agency..."

Astrid interrupted him: "Does it include the monsters I killed not long ago?" "Hehe," Ed Nelson laughed dryly: "If you are willing to join, of course you will be included. After all, the Mystery Agency has dispatched 200 agents. This is a big operation."

Astrid curled her lips and was about to speak, but Ed Nelson interrupted her and said, "Please think about it seriously. There are only benefits and no harm in cooperating with the Mystery Bureau. You are very powerful, but you have a criminal record. If you don't join the Mystery Bureau, you can't appear in front of the public.

You will not be able to enjoy the glory that a strong person deserves, and this is also a huge loss for you."

Stanley stood at the back, watching Ed Nelson's performance in silence.

Ed Nelson felt that he could control Astrid because the information on the tablet showed that Astrid had parents, an older sister and two younger brothers.

There was even a hidden folder showing that Astrid had a good relationship with her family - and based on this, a plan was made to capture her, using her family as bait to set a trap. However, this plan has not yet been implemented.

As long as she has a family, she has a weak spot!
Old European bureaucrats like Ed Nelson are best at this kind of "outsmarting".

You are powerful, but I do not fight you. I have many ways to control you.

Astrid snorted coldly. Ed Nelson had indeed grasped her weakness, but it was a pity that Astrid could not make the decision herself.

Moreover, Astrid has great trust in her master, and she believes that her master will definitely find a way to help her and avoid being threatened by the Mysterious Agency.

Zhang Qingxiang's voice once again rang in Astrid's ears. After Astrid listened carefully, she raised her head and said to Ed Nelson: "No, I refuse!"

Ed Nelson was stunned: "Sir..."

Astrid didn't give him a chance to talk. She jumped onto Jörmungandr's back and said coldly, "So I am still your wanted criminal. You can choose to arrest me now!"

Ed Nelson smiled awkwardly: "No, no, you have made great contributions..."

Astrid ignored him and patted Jörmungandr. The giant sea snake raised its head and proudly took Astrid away.

Astrid passed by Sherika, stretched out her hand to pull Sherika up, but she did not dare to reach out to Zhang Qingxiang.

Stanley seized the opportunity and said, "Sir, where are you going? I'll drive you there."

He pointed at Jörmungandr and said, "This powerful secret spirit is too conspicuous." He was talking to Zhang Qingxiang, not Astrid.

Zhang Qingxiang smiled slightly: "Okay."

Jörmungandr suddenly turned into a small snake and wanted to run straight into his owner's arms, but Zhang Qingxiang stopped him with his eyes.

Jörmungandr had no choice but to climb onto Astrid's shoulders with a wronged look on his face.

Then he thought about it, continued to climb up, and climbed to the top of Astrid!
You just rode on me for a long time, you shouldn't have any objection to me riding you once, right?

Astrid didn't dare to object.

But Astrid had half of her head bald, and she had to shave it herself every day with a razor and apply some kind of oil.

So half of his head has long hair and the other half is bald.

As soon as Jörmungandr went up, it slipped a bit and managed to keep its balance with great difficulty. However, as soon as Astrid moved, it slipped down again.

Jörmungandr growled in annoyance and finally returned to his shoulder.

Astrid breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

After all, a beautiful woman with a snake on her head - very strange.

Everyone got on the car, and Ed Nelson watched them go away with a deep frown on his face.

"Karel, what does this Lord Stanley mean?" he asked coldly.

Karel made up an excuse: "At least we can keep in touch with Her Excellency Valkyrie through Stanley."

Carell also disagreed with Ed Nelson's approach. These old-school bureaucrats would do anything for their own benefit.

Such a powerful Valkyrie is enough to enable the European Mystic Agency to compete with China and North America.

Are you so short-sighted that you forced them away just for a few weird corpses?
It's just that the Valkyrie has a good temper. If it were me, I would turn hostile on the spot. Not to mention killing all two hundred agents, I would at least beat you, Ed Nelson, half to death!
Can't you see the difference in strength between the two sides?

He is really blinded by greed!
Ed Nelson snorted and turned towards the broken hexagonal eye.

Before Astrid and the others left, his deputy had already brought people over to examine the "origin" of all this - the Hexagonal Eye.

This was more or less an insult to the Valkyrie, but Ed Nelson was certain at the time that the Valkyrie would not get angry over such a small matter.

"Mr. Director!" the deputy shouted in panic, "Come and take a look..."

Ed Nelson walked over with his hands behind his back and scolded, "Why are you panicking?"

The hexagonal eye was originally a pure energy structure, but after being destroyed, it became a semi-real and semi-illusory state, like a meteorite falling to the earth.

It is thirty meters high, and the diameter of the eyeball in the middle is more than twenty meters.

Now, a huge wound was cut from the eyeball to the outer corner, and a thick blue-black liquid was flowing out of the wound, but it did not remain on the ground. Instead, it turned into mist of the same color and dissipated in the air.

This serious injury caused the Hexagonal Eye to fall and slant into the ground four meters deep.

Wherever it touches the earth, it constantly stirs up layers of energy ripples.

Everyone thought that this thing would disappear as all the monsters were killed.

Carell, Ed Nelson, and his deputies all thought so.

But when Ed Nelson walked under the eyeball, he found that this thing showed no signs of dissipating, and was still continuously releasing mysterious infection!

This level of infestation is far less than those strange corpses before, and is roughly equivalent to a medium-sized mystery scene.

Therefore, Ed Nelson and others did not notice it and thought it was an infection left over from the previous corpse.

Ed Nelson's face changed and he shouted, "Quick! Seal this place with a magic circle!"

The agents became busy again. Three agents who knew about magic circles gathered together, drawing on draft paper, discussing what kind of magic circle would be best to seal this area.

Others were busy preparing the secret materials needed for the magic circle.

Ed Nelson frowned because he couldn't understand: Why is this happening?

Why don’t the hexagonal eyes disappear?

Not only does it not disappear, it is also spreading and infecting the outside world.

This has never happened before.

Ed Nelson stood below the eyes and stared inside for a while.

The huge eye still retained its purple-blue color, and the thick mucus flowing out of the wound looked like endless tears.

Through my eyes, I seem to be able to see on the other side of the secret world, some beings are looking greedily at this world with reluctance.

Ed Nelson lowered his head quickly, not daring to look for too long.

He was very clear about this mutual gaze. He could not influence the mysteries, but the mysteries were likely to infect him on the spiritual level with strange and unpredictable means!

"careful!"

As soon as Ed Nelson lowered his head, his deputy suddenly exclaimed.

Ed Nelson felt a gust of wind above his head, he retreated quickly, and the strength of a sixth-level professional suddenly burst out.

laugh!
But he was still a step too slow. A strange hand with seven fingers grabbed him from the front, from his cheek to his stomach, leaving seven deep bloody marks!
"Ah--" Ed Nelson screamed, and his face became extremely terrifying.

The eyes, nose and mouth were ripped open.

The strange hand with seven fingers was sticking out from the hexagonal eye. The arm connected to it was extremely thin and long, like the legs of some insect.

It quickly crawled out of its swollen eyes, with its seven fingers spread out like a palm leaf fan, and its arms folded three times, two meters long! It was short and fat, half human, half beast, with two large mouths on its face, and black bristles like steel needles, densely covering its neck.

"His-"

It opened its big mouth, and its smelly saliva fell on the ground like rain, raising clouds of acid mist.

“This…what’s going on!?”

"Are there any more monsters coming out?"

"The Valkyrie has killed all the monsters."

The agents were in a panic, and Carell stood up and yelled, "Stop it!"

"It's just a level six monster. We can kill it together!"

The deputy carried the painful Ed Nelson on his back and said, "Doctor, doctor, come and treat him!"

The three professionals who were studying the magic circle in the distance slapped their foreheads and figured it out: "Oh no! This space door has become permanent!"

"Infections will continue to be released in the future, and there will be monsters that will keep breaking into our world!"

Ed Nelson's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He pushed aside the doctor who was treating him and asked with a shaky mouth, "Destroy it! Can you destroy it?"

Among the three professionals, the sixth-level one stepped forward and shook his head and said, "This door can pass through seventh- and eighth-level monsters, so it is extremely strong. We don't have a powerful enough secret weapon to destroy it."

Karel was leading the agents to besiege the monster when suddenly a black feather flew out from the hexagonal eye, fell to the ground and exploded with a bang, as if it was infinitely replicating itself. Thousands of black feathers flew up and instantly wrapped the seven agents nearby into a huge badminton ball!

The bodies of the seven people twisted strangely and transformed into seven fallen angels covered with black feathers!

"Level 7!" The agents were in a panic, and Karel couldn't help himself: "It's definitely level 7, we will all be killed here!"

Ed Nelson's wounds were bleeding. He quickly took out his cell phone and called Stanley. He said humbly, "Please tell Her Excellency Valkyrie that I realize my mistake."

"I sincerely apologize to her and am willing to crawl at her feet and kiss the tops of her shoes if necessary."

"Just hope she comes back and saves us right away."

"It's not a pity for me to die. After all, it was my mistake that caused all this."

"But there are two hundred agents from the Mystery Agency here. They shouldn't have to pay for my stupid mistake."
