Start with iron blocks, upgrade them into armor summoners.

Xing Yun slowly walked forward and attached the summoner in his hand to it.

In the blink of an eye, the energy cube was sucked into the summoner.

After absorbing the energy, Xing Yun put the summoner in his pocket and walked outside.

Inside the summoner.

"First absorption of alien beast energy: +17 upgrade points"

"Wow, so much added." Lu Zhuo's consciousness changed from a lounging position to standing up and looking at the panel.

"Summoning System"

"Host: Lu Zhuo"

Level: 1

"Form: Armor Summoner"

Summoner: Xing Yun

"Summoner compatibility: (3/10)"

"Required for the next level: (17.05/100)"

Looking at the panel, Lu Zhuo calculated in his mind: "If every monster adds this much, then I only need to fight about six more times to level up."

I wonder what it will be like to upgrade to level two; I'm kind of looking forward to it.

outside.

Xing Yun, head down, touched the wound on his right shoulder with his left hand and limped out of the ironworks factory gate.

The thoughts about the alien beasts kept replaying in his mind.

The monsters called alien beasts are creatures that have existed since ancient times.

According to ancient records, these strange beasts arose from a war between ancient gods.

Many gods died, and their resentment and blood were spilled onto the earth, polluting humanity.

The alien beasts are the products of animals coming into contact with these things.

They are bloodthirsty by nature, have volatile and unpredictable tempers, and are corrupted by the consciousness of the gods, causing them to kill every human they see.

However, the gods who survived bestowed blessings upon humanity to protect them, granting extraordinary powers to some people with special constitutions, enabling them to fight against the alien beasts.

These lucky individuals are also called Awakeners.

In modern times, they have even secretly established organizations such as the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs, which specifically recruit awakened individuals to fight against alien monsters.

Xing Yun looked up at the gate. She didn't know when, but the surrounding environment was like a foggy day, and she couldn't see anything beyond five meters.

"What's going on?!" Xing Yun stared wide-eyed, turning his head in disbelief to look at the thick fog around him.

He was certain that it was sunny outside just a moment ago, but now it was shrouded in thick fog.

Looking down from above, you can see that the entire ironworks is covered by a huge semi-circular dome.

The entire cover resembled clumps of mist piled together. The mist, which would normally disperse, was now restrained by some mysterious force, forming a smooth surface on the outer shell.

Xing Yun was completely unaware of the situation outside. His mind was racing as he tried to find a way to deal with the situation from his memories.

But the more Xing Yun thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became, as if someone was stirring it wildly with a stick.

Xing Yun knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die, so he walked towards the factory gate he remembered, trying to leave.

But with each step he took, his vision became a little blurrier, until after walking a dozen steps, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the workers who had collapsed on the ground around him, Li Rui came to his senses and looked at the energy detector in his hand. Then he turned to Zhou Hai beside him with a serious expression and said.

"Captain, we're too late. Most of the energy of the alien beasts inside has already dissipated."

Zhou Hai turned to look at Li Rui, a young man who had only joined the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs a few weeks ago.

He was a rare technical talent. He had a cylindrical tool bag hanging horizontally on his waist. The tool bag was about half a person's height when it stood upright, but Li Rui carried it as if nothing was wrong.

However, they have only conducted a few operations and clearly lack experience.

Zhou Hai pushed his sunglasses up over his hair, didn't respond to Li Rui, looked at the steel plant in front of him, and waved to signal the start of the operation.

A team of four entered the steel mill.

Before even entering the ironworks, they could see that the various machines inside were almost paralyzed, and in some places molten iron was constantly flowing out, dripping onto the ground and sparking before quickly solidifying.

As they entered, the stench of blood and the smell of burnt rubber, mixed with the heat, assaulted their nostrils.

Except for Zhou Hai, who remained calm, the others held their breath to prevent the stench from entering their nostrils.

Zhou Hai scanned the ironworks with the sharp eyes of an eagle, searching for any trace of the monster.

Several steel pipes, half melted, were scattered on the ground around them.

Clumps of dark powder suddenly appeared on the ground.

As Zhou Hai walked forward, he observed his surroundings and soon noticed several unusual places.

He stepped over a clump of carbonized black powder on the ground and came to the furnace.

The molten iron flowing from the hole in the furnace had cooled and solidified. Zhou Hai looked at the hole in the furnace and glanced at the white cross-shaped knife marks on the huge black stone pillar next to him.

The other team members followed Zhou Hai's gaze and also saw the abrupt white cross-shaped knife mark.

"Someone is fighting the Melting Monster here."

Li Rui exclaimed in surprise. After a period of detection, the data on the screen of the energy detector in his hand finally appeared.

Zhou Hai turned to look at the energy detector in Li Rui's hand and asked, "What was the result?"

Li Rui adjusted his slipping glasses with his right hand and unconsciously swallowed.

"Energy analysis shows that there are residual fire and metal energy here, and the metal energy is stronger than the fire energy."

Judging from the traces at the scene, the fire-attribute energy corresponds to the melting monster that appeared last night, while the origin of the metal-attribute energy is unknown.

"So the Awakened Ones have dealt with the alien beasts here before we have?" Female team member Chen Wan said coldly.

"That seems to be the case, but we didn't detect any other Awakened's energy outside just now." Li Rui kept pressing the flat-shaped detector to retrieve data.

Zhou Hai walked to the stone pillar and touched the rice-shaped marks on it.

Even without energy support, Zhou Hai could still feel a slight tingling sensation from his fingertips.

That's sword energy!

These two words came to Zhou Hai's mind. As far as he knew, there was no civilian awakening in Shenhui County who could achieve this level of awareness.

New Awakeners?

Do not!

Zhou Hai immediately rejected this idea, even if he had awakened the relevant abilities, it would be impossible to achieve such a level in a short period of time.

If you want the remaining energy to still have power, your strength must reach level C or above.

Most awakened individuals in the general population are at a low level, around E-rank, and their strength is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, with some supernatural abilities.

There is only one explanation: an unregistered high-level awakened individual secretly arrived in Shenhui County.

Zhou Hai snapped out of his daze and turned around. At that moment, several team members had finished taking samples on site and were looking at him.

"Operation complete. After altering the memories of the surrounding workers, remove the fog cover," Zhou Hai instructed.

"Yes." Li Rui lowered his head, put the energy detector back into the tool bag hanging on his waist, and rummaged around for a while before taking out a glass ball.

A wisp of white gas tinged with pink occasionally escaped from inside the glass sphere, making it look like a dream, incredibly dreamlike.

Li Rui held the glass ball in both hands, closed his eyes, and an invisible energy began to spread from the glass ball until it filled the entire area shrouded in mist.

Zhou Hai and the others watched Li Rui operate quietly. Modifying memories was no simple matter. It wasn't just about injecting energy into the Dream Smoke Ball, which could modify memories.

They also need to use their own will to control the energy emitted by the Dream Smoke Ball, precisely introduce it into the minds of every ordinary person present, and then manipulate and modify their memories.

This means that the more people whose memories need to be altered, the more difficult it becomes.

The energy emitted by the Dream Smoke Ball itself has a hallucinogenic effect. Zhou Hai and the others are all awakened beings, and their consciousnesses have evolved to be immune to this effect.

Therefore, if Li Rui makes a mistake, they will intervene immediately.

Fortunately, Li Rui's operation was flawless, and he successfully altered the memories of the ordinary people around him.

They would only remember that one of the ironworks buildings collapsed due to quality issues, while completely forgetting about the Otherworldly demons.

"Retreat." Seeing that Li Rui had opened his eyes and returned to normal, Zhou Hai waved his hand and the four of them walked outside.

The black official car started and drove away from the ironworks before sunset.

The mist that had enveloped the ironworks dispersed and disappeared as they left.
