Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Sandru approached Amei because he didn't fully trust Zhao Hao, who was powerful and had many secrets he was hiding.

Zhao Hao then led the man back to the dream world.

If touching upon crucial secrets will shatter your soul, then I'll mend it.

I want to see what Skull and Bones plans are and how they intend to deal with me.

……

In his dream, Zhao Hao created a small private room and, with the help of several reliable Minions, began to deeply manipulate the man's soul, aiming to uncover every secret of his.

This is a delicate task; the slightest mistake could result in the permanent loss of related secrets or even the complete destruction of one's soul.

As the soul micro-manipulation surgery continued, Zhao Hao uncovered many secrets.

However, most of the stories are about Ami's secrets and shady dealings, such as some of the shady activities of the government and the military's despicable actions.

A large portion of them committed crimes in other countries!

From massacring women and children to abducting children with exceptional potential for experimentation, from wanton slaughter of civilians to funding opposition groups that plunged the entire region into war, they have used every means at their disposal, from cultural invasion to brainwashing.

It's impossible to list all their crimes!

Gradually, Zhao Hao also gleaned some information about the Skull and Bones Society from those memories.

This guy wasn't a member of the old founding family conglomerate. He joined the Skull and Bones Society as a fringe member by chance, which led to his rise to power and being absorbed into the organization.

This is also why the Skull and Bones Society is able to subtly control the entire America—those rising stars who become powerful are either absorbed into their ranks or suppressed or even physically destroyed.

This peripheral member didn't have very detailed information; he only knew the general outline.

For example, discussing the order of death of the savior candidates, listening in on the design of the savior candidate plan, and participating in the integration of post-apocalyptic resources...

Of these, he knew the most detailed plan, called "Heaven's Gate," because he was personally involved in and responsible for a part of it.

The Skull and Bones Society wants to build a colossal portal that leads directly to Heaven. If the Savior's plan fails, or if the Savior is ineffective, they can still teleport their members to Heaven.

However, there were many suspicious points in this plan, and even the man himself noticed that something was wrong.

For example, collecting lots of obsidian, bones, and sulfur. What the hell does that have to do with the Gates of Heaven?

Even if you say you want to build Noah's Ark, that's still somewhat plausible.

Therefore, there must be other secrets behind this plan!

Moreover, according to what this man knew, other forces, such as the Vatican, also had their own plans. It seems the Vatican's plan was also called "Gates of Heaven"! They even supposedly sent down several angels!

……

Even Zhao Hao was a little tired after working for so long.

He sat in his chair, holding a teacup. "If the supernatural forces in America and Europe are prepared, then the East shouldn't be standing still! What are they thinking?"

"We can't exactly build some kind of Heaven's Gate so people can seek refuge in heaven, can we? They accept refugees based on skin color! They prefer women!"

Chapter 520 The Price of Being a Good Person

Zhao Hao spent a long time meticulously reviewing the memories of this marginal member of the Skull and Bones Society several times, extracting every detail he could.

In the end, almost no part of that man's soul remained intact; it was shattered into a jumbled mess.

Zhao Hao finally understood that this was the result of dismantling, repairing, and reassembling a person's soul.

By the end, this man was a completely new being; almost nothing about him was the original. His personality, memories, habits, values, and beliefs... were all created by Zhao Hao and the Minions.

It's like being reincarnated!

To be honest, this is probably even more "artificial" than Zhao Hao's spiritual dolls.

Because those spiritual dolls are simply given certain materials and appropriate conditions, allowing them to take shape on their own.

What kind of person they will become in the end, what abilities they will have, whether they are strong or weak, good or bad, mischievous or docile, is all uncertain.

Some of the spiritual dolls are particularly mischievous, the kind that will climb on the roof and tear off the tiles if you don't discipline them for three days.

Zhao Hao even built a special small, dark room for them to be kept in solitary confinement, called Room 404. It was a place that instilled fear in many.

As for the players whose spiritual energy was secretly repaired by Zhao Hao, he basically didn't design any changes at all. He simply used artificial spiritual energy to fill the cracks and gaps. Otherwise, someone would have noticed something was wrong long ago.

You know what, manipulating souls is indeed a very evil thing. It's best not to do this kind of thing too often.

……

After Zhao Hao finished his work and returned to the surface dream, he learned through the magic mirror and Ika that he had spent a full three days.

However, he had previously asked the White Queen and the little mermaid to inform Elena and the others that he would be busy in the dream for a while, so there was no need to worry.

However, when he returned to the surface world, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Has something happened?

He quickly contacted Elena and Gou Quan, and they were both safe and sound.

However, something still happened.

Elena and the others met Zhao Hao on the top floor of the Pipi Shrimp headquarters.

"You're back! What did Sandru say? Oh, right, I have some bad news for you." Gou Quan spoke quickly.

The fat man curled his lip and said, "There are two, two pieces of bad news!"

"What exactly happened?" Zhao Hao asked.

Prada said gravely, "They're dead. That bald-headed Dr. James Cameron, and that teleportation kid Sam, they're both dead!"

"They're both dead?" Zhao Hao couldn't believe it. "I was only gone for three days, and two of them died?"

Prada nodded, his expression grave.

To be honest, this feeling of shared sorrow and grief is really unpleasant.

She didn't know if she would survive, or if she would die, when.

Gou Quan quickly hugged her and gently stroked her hair. "Oh, darling, don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what, I'll always be by your side."

The fat man on the side began to explain to Zhao Hao what had happened.

Just as Zhao Hao was on his way to the Underworld to keep his appointment with Sandru, an anomaly occurred in the Davis Strait between the east coast of Canada and Greenland. Several remote coastal towns suddenly vanished.

It wasn't the kind of disappearance where supernatural beings breached the defenses and people were killed.

In fact, humans are quite adaptable. They have found ways to cope with towns and villages that have existed for more than half a year.

While it cannot be guaranteed that there will be no casualties, it is now rare for villages and towns to be destroyed overnight.

Most of the time, if you don't court death, you won't die.

Of course, a few casualties are entirely acceptable and must be accepted.

After all, even in the past, there were bound to be some shooting incidents every month, right?

The disappearance of this seaside town was the kind where the entire town mysteriously vanished.

Even the half-eaten pizza on the table was still there, the turkey in the oven was burnt, and music was still playing on the tape recorder... but suddenly the person disappeared.

Two superhumans led a team of black-clad agents to investigate, but three of the agents went missing, two became mutated, and one went insane.

Of the two extraordinary individuals, one died, and the other sent out a distress signal and disappeared. His final location was shown to be in the sea!

The black-clad agent who went insane has been completely swayed; the information he can glean from his memories is extremely fragmented. However, one thing is certain: this extraordinary event was of a very high level.

A powerful bronze-level expert from Jiama went to investigate and found several strange golden statues.

This isn't right!

Because those villages and towns actually worship and believe in these humanoid statues with strong marine life characteristics.

This is considered an evil god's worship!

Generally speaking, anything involving faith should at least be at the bronze level.

If some idiot dares to fabricate a god to fool people, it might attract some trouble. In any case, it will eventually escalate into a bronze-level incident.

At times like these, Sykes Stulk, one of the top experts at MIT and a schizophrenic professor specializing in mental and psychic abilities, has to step in.

As a ruthless individual who actively splits his personality into more than ten parts, Professor Sykes Sturker is very powerful.

He can use various psychic abilities, such as psychic flames, psychic lightning, psychic barriers, mental lashes, and personality clones. He can even use psychic abilities to slow down the passage of time around him!

He quickly saw some scenes in the "time rewind" footage.

It turns out that a secret belief was prevalent in these coastal villages and towns, which were mainly inhabited by fishermen.

Originally, this belief was just a small, clandestine activity that had been kept hidden for over a decade, but it experienced tremendous growth during the era of the extraordinary.

To survive, people will do anything.

To this end, the townspeople even secretly deceived and kidnapped outsiders, throwing them into ancient wells connected to the sea as offerings to the "gods"!

This bizarre, cruel, yet undeniably effective belief began to spread in the vicinity.

If you believe in Him, pray to Him, and dedicate yourself to Him, you will gain health and strength, be able to avoid dangerous sea monsters in this dangerous world, have a huge catch, or even haul in gold with a single net!

Those who sacrificed others to survive had undergone some kind of change on a previous stormy night—they were inspired by something and then lined up to walk into the sea in the storm.

Professor Sykes saw changes in those people in those past images.

Some of them had greenish skin with scaly patterns, and their facial features had become somewhat ugly and protruding. They also had slit-like gills behind their ears...

He discovered a secret room in the mayor's house, which was also a priest of evil gods, through his psychic vision.

Inside was a container made of a seashell or barnacle-like shell, containing a small amount of pale green liquid.

This thing has an extremely strong distorting and mutation effect on both the human body and mind!

The town mayor, who was also a priest, mixed this stuff into the wine at the gathering and made everyone drink it.

As the ritual continued, on a stormy night, everyone was transformed into another extraordinary species!

Sykes dared not be careless. After notifying the official supernatural agency of Canada, she received support from three bronze supernatural beings.

Then this group of four bronze-level warriors, using extraordinary items, began to explore the sea.

Originally, Gamada didn't want to get involved, but the anomaly in the sea seemed to be not far from Gamada, gradually affecting the entire ocean.

Then, they discovered a portal to another world on the seabed.

The so-called "gateway to another world" is probably some strange passage that has broken through the sea of ​​psionic energy.
