Life Dungeon Game

The 'clients' active on the black market are nothing more than financial organizations and some temporary clients who enter the black market through certain channels.

The "client" in Witt's memory who commissioned him to set the fire was clearly a regular customer, someone who frequently commissioned others.

Most normal, ordinary people don't have that many enemies to kill. Only conglomerates or large organizations have people they want to eliminate and constantly issue missions to do so.

That's why there's so much money available to pay the commission fees.

Moreover, this consortium or organization has significant interests in St. John City, which is why they have so many enemies there.

Unfortunately, Witte's jumbled thoughts did not provide any more obvious and accurate information.

However, everything needs to be done by someone. We need to find some members of the Eagle Claw Gang and ask them for relevant information. Through the Eagle Claw Gang, we might be able to reconstruct some of the 'clients' that Witt had taken on, and further narrow down the range of identities of the 'clients' behind Witt.

He Ao did not place all his hopes on the 'black market' route.

Based on the information gleaned from Witt, it seemed that Witt was already quite familiar with that 'client,' to the point that they didn't seem like 'online friends' separated by the internet.

Therefore, the 'commission' given to Witt by the client from the black market may not have actually gone through the black market.

After all, the platform is aware of the information from the black market.

In terms of confidentiality, no online platform is as reliable as offline communication.

Witt's first reaction was to think of the black market, perhaps simply because the client came from the 'black market'.

In fact, He Ao, who had been influenced by Witt's thoughts, initially thought that the 'black market' was just an offline underground market.

Of course, all of this information still needs further investigation to uncover clues.

Even if the client communicated with Witt offline, the client would not only seek out Witt as the 'executor'.

The other party may still be active on black market websites.

He Ao gathered his thoughts and focused his attention on the book in his hands.

This book is not placed on a bookshelf, but on a book stand on the desk.

Kavi has a habit of leaving unfinished books on his desk after he has only read them.

In Sito’s memory, the book wasn’t even on his desk a few months ago.

When we first placed Jasmine here, Kavi stayed here for a few days during the stay.

At that time, Sito made a small bed for Jasmine, and Kavi slept in this childhood room.

He Ao opened the book's cover.

This book is quite old; the pages are yellowed. It's a book of ghost stories that Sito found for his son at a used bookstore.

There have probably been two or three years already.

It's been ten years.

The book mainly tells urban legends or strange tales of the wilderness.

The book contains many markings or notes made by Kavi; he enjoys recording his thought process in his own book.

Of course, most of the thoughts mentioned above are simple and superficial. In fact, most of the content of this book can only be considered a collection of fantasy stories.

According to He Ao, who has real wilderness survival experience, most of the content in this book is a city dweller's 'guess' about the wilderness, and many of the situations are not realistic.

However, among the chaotic stories, there are also some bizarre ones, which may actually come from the wilderness.

For example, the story that Heo has turned to right now.

This story tells of a deep valley in the wilderness, filled with lush forests that seem full of life, but all the animals that approach the valley will mutate into crazed and twisted monsters.

In fact, this is a story about a contaminated area.

Such places, filled with inexplicable pollution, are actually quite common in the wilderness.

He Ao noticed this story because this page was folded up by Kawi.

He Ao opened the fold-out page and saw rows of somewhat messy handwriting underneath.

Why do the polluted monsters exist?

Why do they think these monsters are a given?

When I was studying in Dawn City, I never saw anything like this.

Or is it that it also exists in Dawn City, but I just haven't discovered it yet?

According to data from the Pollution Cleanup Department, the area in the northwest of this city, where my father lives, is the area with the fewest pollution outbreaks. What's there here?

Jiaxi should be safe staying with her father.

The writing ends abruptly here.

He Ao turned to the next page.

At the same crease, there is a line of writing that is newer than the previous one:

We need to leave as soon as possible.

The problem is in this city.

More than a month ago, before Kavi disappeared, he visited Sito.

Chapter 653 Cultivation (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Does it hurt?"

In the deep silence of the night, a faint, pale light seemed to appear on the horizon above the city.

In the last darkness before dawn, on a lonely balcony, an elderly man nearing seventy squats before a young child.

The old man stroked the child's forehead, gazed at the child's cheeks, and asked softly.

The girl stared wide-eyed at her grandfather, her teeth clenched so tightly that two small front teeth peeked out from between her lips, her face flushed red, but she still shook her head firmly.

He Ao clearly saw his granddaughter's distressed expression, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

He is currently using his divine sense to clear the blocked pathways in his granddaughter's body.

The experience of connecting Jasmine with the line this time was almost completely different from connecting Pete's daughter, Annie.

Aini has a great talent, so there are almost no blockages or narrow places in the circuits in her body. The circuits themselves are already formed, and He Ao will be able to open them up soon.

Jiaxi's situation was completely different. The circuits in Jiaxi's body were very small, with almost no blockages, but most of the circuits were very fragile and narrow, and seemed not to have fully formed yet.

He Ao didn't know if this was a characteristic of children or Jiaxi's own innate talent. He carefully guided his divine sense to permeate Jiaxi's pathways.

In contrast to the fragility of these lines is their extremely strong resilience.

The result of this is that Jiaxi's fragile circuits have acquired a certain ability to absorb He'ao's divine consciousness.

To be precise, it was He Ao who actively embedded his divine consciousness into Jia Qian's circuitry.

The fragility of the circuit allowed He Ao to use his divine sense to carve patterns on Jia Qian's circuit with minimal cost, and his extremely strong recovery ability could quickly repair these 'damaged' areas. However, the carved patterns would still leave a trace.

In other words, He Ao can directly inscribe strengthening circuits in Jiaxi's body. When Jiaxi begins to cultivate, the energy flowing through the circuits in her body will naturally flow through these strengthening circuits, becoming stronger and more concentrated.

This greatly reduces energy loss as it flows through the circuit, increasing energy utilization efficiency.

These strengthening circuits themselves are also strengthened by the flow of energy, which not only enhances Jiaxi's physical qualities but also further solidifies the circuits, preventing them from wearing down due to the extended training time.

If an ordinary genius's energy utilization efficiency is 75% during cultivation, then Jiaxi's energy utilization efficiency can reach 95% during cultivation.

While inscribing the strengthening circuit, He Ao was also constantly stretching open the narrow energy lines in Jiaxi's body.

In a sense, He Ao is giving his granddaughter a "bone-cleansing" treatment.

However, the 'price' for this marrow cleansing and bone-renewing process is not so easy.

Damage to the body, whether it's carving out circuits or spreading wires, will cause pain.

As He Ao's consciousness continued to advance, Jiaxi's cheeks grew increasingly red, and she emitted low 'woo-woo' sounds.

Crystalline tears welled up in her eyes, but they did not fall.

He Ao looked at his granddaughter and narrowed his eyes slightly.

However, he did not stop manipulating his divine sense.

After a long while, He Ao finally withdrew his divine sense.

"Grandpa, is it over?"

Jiaxi raised her head, her red-rimmed eyes fixed on He Ao.

"ended."

He Ao withdrew his hand and looked at his granddaughter's small face.

Just then, his half-squatting body swayed, and a violent dizziness disrupted his balance.

The spiritual energy consumed in cleansing Jiaxi's marrow and bones was not much. With the help of the strengthening circuit, the final consumption was only a little over one-third of his spiritual energy. However, the long-term focus and inscribing of the strengthening circuit greatly depleted He Ao's spiritual energy.

Jiaxi quickly reached out and hugged her grandfather.

She had been working out with Sito since she was a child, so her physical condition was not bad, and she quickly helped He Ao support his body.

She didn't speak, but she twitched the tip of her nose.

"It's alright, Grandpa's alright."

He Ao also reached out and hugged her.

As the first rays of dawn rose, they bathed the old man's graying hair and the girl's innocent face.

"Jacqueline, do you remember what Grandpa just taught you? Take a deep breath."

He Ao said softly.

"Ah."

Jiaxi responded and began to take a deep breath.

At the same time, He Ao also inhaled.

The first rays of dawn entered Heo's body.

This energy quickly entered He Ao's chest cavity, gathered in his body, and then flowed to his limbs under his guidance.
