Chen Zhuo turned to Captain Liao, who had just regained his senses, without exchanging any unnecessary pleasantries.

"Captain Liao, do you know Luo Nan's true identity?"

And what exactly is this "seed of the heart" that he keeps mentioning?

Team Leader Liao was stunned for a moment, his chaotic consciousness rapidly returning.

He held onto the railing and slowly sat down on the hospital bed.

At the same time, he desperately tried to piece together everything that had happened after he arrived on the fourth floor from his chaotic and fragmented memories.

After a moment of silence, he looked up at Chen Zhuo.

He recounted every detail of what he knew.

"Judging from Luo Nan's style of doing things, and his obsession with the Heart Seed," Captain Liao said with certainty, "I suspect he is very likely a member of the Raven Organization."

The moment Ruan Ning heard those words, she was terrified.

She gasped instinctively, her face instantly filled with terror.

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Zhuo turned his head towards Ruan Ning.

"You also know about this organization called Raven?"

Ruan Ning quickly shook her head, the fear on her face still lingering.

"I've only heard some rumors about ravens."

I've heard they're an extremely mysterious and terrifying organization.

As for more details, I don't know much about that.

Team Leader Liao took over the conversation, his tone somewhat heavy.

"Speaking of Raven, we have to go back to four years ago, when the Sealed Gate Organization was just established."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Ning was startled again, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

She never imagined that this matter was so closely related to the Fengmen organization.

It was at this moment that she finally figured out Captain Liao's true identity.

Liao's words successfully piqued Chen Zhuo's interest.

Team Leader Liao took a deep breath and slowly recounted that long-forgotten past.

"Four years ago, strange events occurred frequently. In order to deal with this disaster, the predecessor of the Sealed Gate Organization was officially established."

However, not long after, irreconcilable differences arose among the people within the organization regarding the bizarre handling of the matter.

One group believes that the eerie is too dangerous and full of malice towards humans.

We should do everything in our power to completely eliminate all the supernatural phenomena in order to ensure the safety of ordinary people.

The other faction, however, believes that the strangeness is an opportunity bestowed by heaven.

They believe that human evolution can be achieved by studying mysterious forces.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo seemed to suddenly realize something: "Could it be..."

Seeing this, Captain Liao nodded slightly, a bitter smile on his face.

"That's right, the two factions have been arguing about this endlessly, and have even fought each other internally on several occasions."

The conflict deepened until, three years ago, it reached a point of no return.

Three years ago, the conflict broke out completely, and the two sides completely broke off relations.

Ultimately, it was those who advocated using the bizarre to achieve the evolution of all humankind.

He took all the core data on the organization's research into the supernatural and defected overnight.

With their departure, the conflict, which had lasted for more than a year, finally came to a reluctant end.

Only after that group left was the current Fengmen organization officially established.

We remain true to our original mission, fighting against the supernatural and protecting the safety of ordinary people.

The so-called Raven Organization was actually that group of defectors.

Using the core information they took with them, they gradually grew and became what they are today.

Team Leader Liao felt his head getting heavier and heavier, so he shook his head to clear his head.

He then continued speaking, his tone filled with hatred and disgust.

"The Raven Organization has an extreme fascination with the supernatural, and they will even create bizarre events for research purposes."

They acted madly and extremely, treating human life as worthless. Countless people have died at their hands over the years.

More importantly, every single member of this organization, without exception, is a door-opener with bizarre abilities.

Chen Zhuo listened quietly, silently memorizing all the information about the Raven Organization.

He then spoke again, steer the conversation back to the second question.

"And what is that seed of the heart?"

While Chen Zhuo was waiting, Liao's body suddenly began to tremble violently.

He instinctively clutched his chest and swallowed hard.

The dark lines that had just faded from his face were visibly returning to cover his cheeks.

His mind began to wander, and the strangeness within him was gradually reviving.

"The Heart Seed... The Heart Seed is an extremely special kind of magical artifact."

Team Leader Liao gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the surging, eerie energy within him.

He knew he didn't have much time left, so he could only try to speak faster.

"Its output is inextricably linked to us, the ones who push open the door."

Intense pain swept over Liao's entire body, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"The seed of the heart... did not originate from those strange entities! It originated from... the one who pushed open the door to the heart when it had completely lost control!"

Once the person who pushes the door... dies, a seed of the heart will inevitably condense within their body.

The only difference lies in the quality of the heart!

Liao's breathing became increasingly rapid.

"The stronger the strange entity residing behind the Heart Gate, the higher the quality of the Heart Seed, and the better its effect."

The Heart Seed has only one function: to absorb the strange pollution from the person who pushes the door open, thus delaying the time it takes for our Heart Gate to go out of control!

Those raven lunatics specifically hunt down anyone who pushes open a door so they can use their bizarre abilities without restraint!

After saying his last words, Captain Liao could no longer hold on. He looked up at Chen Zhuo, his voice full of pleading.

"Advisor Chen, quick! Kill me, I'm... I can't hold on any longer... I can't let the... strange force within me harm anyone else!"

Hearing his hoarse voice, Chen Zhuo's expression lost some of its usual coldness.

"We've known each other for a while now, is there anything you still wish to do? Perhaps I can help you."

Upon hearing this, Captain Liao shook his head, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

"People like us always write our wills before going on a mission."

Once I die, the organization will take care of my funeral arrangements and my family.

So I have no other wishes, just give me a release.

After saying this, Captain Liao slowly closed his eyes.

He straightened his back and calmly awaited death.

Chen Zhuo sighed softly and slowly raised the hand holding the white bone cane.

The next second, without the slightest pause, it pierced straight into Captain Liao's heart, shattering the gate to his heart that was about to spiral out of control again, giving him a dignified release.

Team Leader Liao's body trembled slightly, but there was no trace of pain on his face. The relieved smile on his lips hadn't faded before he completely lost his breath.

"Chen Zhuo, he has something on his chest!"

Without the Mirror Ghost's prompting, Chen Zhuo noticed the unusual thing about Captain Liao and reached out to remove the object from his chest.

It was a black crystal, about half the size of a fist, shaped like a seed.

A look of envy appeared in Ruan Ning's eyes: "This is the seed of the heart!"

Chen Zhuo nodded slightly, put away the white bone cane, and laid Captain Liao flat on the bed.

He pulled over a clean sheet from the side and gently covered Liao with it.

"Once the rust hospital issue is resolved, I will notify Wan Guanhai to come over and have them take you home."

Ruan Ning stood aside, watching this scene, her nose slightly sore.

"Mr. Chen, we should go now."

"Um!"

A moment later, Chen Zhuo turned and walked out of the ward, heading step by step towards the stairwell.

Ruan Ning took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and quickly followed him out.

She walked into the corridor and looked at the survivors there.

"Are you planning to stay here and wait, or come with us to the fifth floor?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, staring at the stairwell with barely concealed fear in their eyes.

In the end, everyone chose to stay on the fourth floor.

Seeing this, Ruan Ning gave some instructions to everyone and then quickly followed Chen Zhuo to the fifth floor of the Corrosion Hospital.
