Life Dungeon Game

Hearing this, He Ao was taken aback. "Is the dean here this time?"

“Yes,” Yang De glanced at He Ao, “the dean thought your previous suggestions were very good, and since this happened, he’s going to come and take charge personally.”

"The dean went?"

Wu Lan's eyes were clearly filled with surprise, and then she said with some dissatisfaction, "He hasn't left the Central Plains for so many years, and this time he actually decided to go. We've encountered problems several times before, and we couldn't find him to help us."

"The dean and other B-level members have an agreement not to act rashly, otherwise it may trigger other supernatural organizations to unite against us."

Ji Po explained slowly.

"Oh,"

Wu Lan rested her chin on her hand, looking somewhat dejected. Then she saw He Ao drinking milk through the screen and brought the topic back on track, "So how's the situation over there? He Ao, are you in danger over there?"

"fine,"

He Ao smiled and took a sip of milk. "There shouldn't be any danger for now."

"However, we must be careful. The people involved in last night's incident are not simple."

Yang De pondered, "You were attacked by some mysterious organization before, and that organization might be one of the key participants in last night's incident."

Then he looked up at He Ao and asked, "Do you have any other intelligence?"

“Some,”

He Ao said softly,

"The remaining Moonlight members have cordoned off the area where the incident occurred and the surrounding neighborhoods, but they don't seem to have the capacity to handle the situation."

"According to the information Li Le received, Moonlight believes that last night's events involved at least a B-level or higher entity. Currently, Moonlight's headquarters and parts of the Ruodan Royal Palace Museum are in a twisted and bizarre state."

"Furthermore, at the top of the Moonlight Headquarters building, a huge monster body capable of influencing people's minds was discovered."

"Moonlight is currently unable to investigate, so they are only temporarily sealing it off."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "According to information I obtained from a military police captain I know, last night, there were cases of hundreds of thousands of people falling into a coma throughout the city of Elennan."

"The whole incident ended quickly, and those who were unconscious woke up one after another. There were no casualties."

"However, some people have reported seeing strange shadows trying to devour their bodies. These people are in a somewhat unstable mental state, most of them have lost some of their memories, and they are experiencing hallucinations. These reports have now been taken over by Moonlight."

"In fact, I have done similar things for several days in a row."

The dream of a shadow getting closer and closer... I asked people around me who are considered to have high levels of intuition, and they've all had similar dreams.

“Generally speaking, extraordinary individuals are more likely to sense extraordinary phenomena, which means,” Ji Po pondered, “that is very likely a ‘strange event’.”

"Last night, there was very likely a strange event that affected the entire city of Ellen, or at least the southern part of Ellen, and hundreds of thousands of people fell into a deep sleep because of this strange event."

He further stated, "Based on the reports from those who filed the reports, because some people are naturally more likely to encounter bizarre truths than ordinary people, perhaps last night's events weren't a period of dormancy, but rather..."

"murder."

Wu Lan took over the conversation. Her long-term collaboration with Ji Po allowed her to quickly understand his way of thinking, and she continued along this line of thought.

"The strange phenomenon last night most likely had the potential to kill everyone in the southern part of Ellen City, but it was prevented by some unexpected event. This 'unexpected event' might be related to the events that occurred at the Moonlight Headquarters last night,"

She paused, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "How terrifying must the thing behind a bizarre phenomenon that can cover half of a modern city and kill hundreds of thousands of people invisibly be?"

Based on the information currently available to the research institute, the wider the scope of a bizarre phenomenon, the stronger the supernatural object that can drive it.

Even so, the most complex bizarre phenomenon the research institute has ever dealt with is only a C-level bizarre phenomenon that covers a small village settlement and has a short-term outbreak with low damage.

The area of ​​the southern part of Ellen City is many times larger than a small village settlement, and its population is in the hundreds of thousands. The force required to kill so many people at the same time is extremely terrifying.

Wu Lan felt that this level of power was beyond her comprehension.

It's like putting a book of world-class math problems in front of a baby who's still counting from one to ten.

"Based on the intelligence we have now, more than one B-level officer died at the scene. Unfortunately, so far, no one has claimed to know the truth about what happened last night."

Yang De said slowly.

“Could Hao Yi know something?” Ji Po pondered. “He was the only B-level in Ellen last night, and perhaps he was one of the parties involved in what happened last night.”

"This guy is too mysterious, and he has the Verola in his possession. There's no way we can find him."

Wu Lan chimed in, "Besides, we haven't figured out his purpose yet, so he might not be willing to cooperate with us."

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the dean arrives there and inspects it in person before we can discuss anything else."

Yang De ended the conversation, then turned to look at He Ao.

"I'll leave things to you there now. The Dean should arrive in Ellen by tomorrow morning at the latest. At this point, I need you to keep the situation under control and prevent Moonlight and World Tree from taking any rash actions. But as I said before, your own safety is the most important thing."

"Ok!"

He Ao nodded slightly.

The group chatted for a while longer before the meeting ended.

He Ao turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, Ming

The bright morning sun shines on the warm earth, casting a golden glow over this ancient city.

New, tender green shoots sprouted from the dry earth by the roadside.

He raised his hand and drank the milk in the glass in one gulp.

He sensed the divine sense in his mind. Compared to the ten divine senses he had left at the end of the last dungeon, he now had five and a half left. Fighting against the B-level opponent had consumed four and a half of his divine senses.

The B-level miracles of landslides and tsunamis, along with his own powerful physical abilities, meant that his mental energy consumption was not as high when fighting B-level enemies as it was in dungeons.

Then he opened his personal information page.

【He Ao】

[Privilege Level: Advanced Player]

Physical fitness: 1194

[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Super Memory (C-rank), Basic Firearms Proficiency; Talent Sequence 72: Stealth Mage (C-rank)]

Mechanical modification: None

Martial Arts: Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation (Rank C)

My physical fitness score increased from 782 to 1194, an increase of 402.

The increase wasn't significant. Without reaching C-level in martial arts, a sudden jump of over 500 points would be terrifying. However, the Hidden Mage's talent sequence isn't primarily focused on close-quarters combat, so this increase is likely the limit achievable for this talent sequence.

After his promotion, He Ao also gained information about the abilities of the Hidden Mage.

First, He Ao's original miracle magic, 'telekinesis,' which he mastered during his magician stage, has been enhanced. The range of use, the cost of use, and the restrictions on the items that can be used have all been increased.

The original telekinetic object retrieval could only retrieve relatively small items, and the effective distance was very short, at most ten meters. For longer distances and larger items, it required mental effort and put a strain on the body.

Now that I've been promoted, the effective range of this ability has increased fivefold, the number of items that can be accessed has also increased, and even if I exceed this limit, the energy consumption is less, thus improving the energy efficiency ratio.

Previously, telekinesis could not be used on living beings, but now, after paying a certain price, it can be used on relatively weaker beings.

This makes the ability seem somewhat bizarre.

In addition to telekinesis, the Mystic Mage possesses a unique innate miracle: 'Invisibility'.

When this miracle is activated, those around the mage will naturally overlook the existence of the hidden mage.

This kind of neglect is not like a night walker's 'night walk' where they can't see the person at all, but rather they know the person exists, but naturally and subconsciously don't think about them.

To put it simply, it makes a person's presence extremely low, making them very difficult to notice.

Jin Ya used this ability during the Verola incident.

However, this ability is different from other combat abilities that He Ao had encountered before. 'Stealth' does not play a very good role in combat. This ability is more focused on 'stealth'.

It will influence everyone who is related to or pays attention to He Ao through some special connection.

Simply put, this ability passively reduces the probability of He Ao being suspected when he is causing trouble.

He Ao always felt that Jin Ya's 'hidden body' ability might be different from his own.

Because if Kim Ah-soo's '

If this is the version of 'Hidden Body', she couldn't possibly not activate it, and He Ao wouldn't have been able to easily deduce her problem.

Moreover, this ability to influence all related individuals through special connections is somewhat terrifying.

However, the price of such powerful abilities is also enormous.

The 'Stealth' ability can last up to seven days with a single use, and its cooldown time is very short, only twelve hours.

In other words, it can be used continuously in a certain sense, but its effect is the same as a landslide or tsunami, affecting everyone indiscriminately.

The longer a user is used, the fewer people in the world will pay attention to them. Even those around the user may lose their memories of the user. This means that if the user is used continuously without interruption, it is very likely that the user will be 'forgotten' by everyone.

Although he is alive, no one will ever see him or remember him again.

This situation will most likely severely affect a person's self-perception, ultimately leading the extraordinary individual to madness.

In addition, during the use of the stealth ability, the user's affinity for mystery will increase, making them more likely to get involved in strange events hidden beneath the surface.

Power and danger are always two sides of the same coin.

In addition, He Ao has one empty 'skill slot'.

After becoming a secret mage, Heo can master up to three 'miracles'.

'Telekinesis' and 'Hidden Body' each occupy one of the 'miracle' slots, and there is still one miracle that He Ao needs to obtain himself.

And the way to obtain this third miracle is also very simple.

kill.

Kill a C-rank, then solidify the opponent's abilities into yourself, making it your own 'miracle'.

Overall, the secret mage is very powerful and possesses a strong, eerie quality.

Moreover, perhaps because the ritual was performed well, He Ao felt that this hidden mage's abilities were perhaps a bit too strong.

If Jin Ya had possessed these abilities back then, she could have easily solidified two C-level skills, and with her stealth abilities, the outcome between her and He Ao on the Verola would have been uncertain.

However, this also indirectly proves that He Ao's speculation is correct.

He had been pondering what a 'miracle' truly was when he witnessed the ascension ceremony of the hidden mage.

Ultimately, based on the nature of things with the word "miracle" in them, such as "miracle magic" and "miracle wand," he guessed that the miracle here is "turning the impossible into the possible."
