Above the gray fog

"What is this?" Lin Shan stared at the darkness.

"Outer God?" He muttered to himself, trying to identify the indescribable breath in front of him.

This inexplicable breath is indeed an Outer God, and the sticky touch is undoubtedly the sign of an Outer God.

Lin Shan reached out and grasped a pillar of the cage, and a dense black electric current immediately condensed in the air around him, gathering around him in an instant, making the entire cage give people the illusion that it is about to collapse.

"If you destroy this cage, the child outside will also die." A deep voice came from the darkness.

"What does it have to do with me?" Lin Shan replied, why does this Outer God look a little naive?

"If the child dies, the Jieyi system will directly judge you as a failure. We did a little trick to make the child the subject of the Jieqi mission." The voice from the darkness had no joy or anger, as if everything was under control.

Lin Shan was silent for a moment, then asked: "Are other people in the same situation as me?"

"Almost." The creature in the darkness answered meaningfully.

As the two talked, the darkness was very close to Lin Shan, and Lin Shan finally saw the other party's true form.

It was a monster shaped like water grass, with two green spots flashing in the center.

"If you have already taken action against all the gray fog gods, you can win directly now, why play these games?" Lin Shan looked directly into the cold eyes and asked casually.

"We want you to see." The other party's voice was full of playfulness.

"You? What to see?" Lin Shan asked.

"Look at the world." The water grass-like creature replied, and at the same time, one of its tentacles slowly stretched into the cage.

Lin Shan quickly grabbed the tentacles that stretched out, and his expression suddenly turned cold, "You'd better give me a clear explanation."

The creature seemed to be afraid of Lin Shan's power, and quickly broke off the tentacles and retreated to escape.

"Can you escape?" Lin Shan's voice sounded like a cold blade, directly in the other party's mind.

At this moment, in the eyes of the water grass monster, Lin Shan's appearance has completely changed.

It saw that the eyes of the humanoid creature in front of it were flashing with golden-red light. His body was constantly expanding and transformed into an extremely huge sphere. The cage expanded hundreds of times. Countless tentacles grew on the surface of the sphere. They intertwined and danced, forming an impeccable network, blocking all possible retreat routes.

Then, an infinitely elongated shadow was projected in the darkness, and the wide mouth opened slightly, revealing a row of sharp teeth. The black shadow gradually approached it, and the extremely oppressive words echoed, "If you make it clear, I may let you go."

The water grass creature seemed extremely panicked. It tightened its body, not knowing whether it was a fighting posture or an instinctive reaction out of fear.

"Don't you want to say it?" The corners of the black shadow's mouth rose slightly, and the surrounding tentacles slowly approached, about to tightly bind the water grass.

At this moment, a tiny crack suddenly appeared above the water grass, and a dazzling white light overflowed from the crack.

"Who among you is the Outer God?" A soft complaint came from the gap. Under the illumination of the white light, the water creatures seemed to be wiped out and disappeared without a trace.

The moment the water monster disappeared, everything in the darkness seemed to be shattered like an illusion. Lin Shan stood in the cage woven by the golden beams and did not move at all.

With many clues, Lin Shan quickly analyzed them in his mind.

"Even if there is a problem in the world, this is not the style of the Outer Gods. The Outer Gods should think about how to destroy the world, not play these boring games."

"When I came in before, Huanyue said that there is a force integrating the outer world. It seems that we are very lucky and ran into this force directly."

"This force is not the Outer God. The Outer God Shuicao just now is at most a younger brother."

"It is also unlikely to be the Void Clan. It is difficult for the Outer World to do it. The ability of the Outer World is limited. It is difficult to break the world barrier, let alone unite other worlds. Then, there is only one possibility that is the biggest. This group of people are from the Gray Mist World. Gray Mist obviously has such strength."

"The Source Court doesn't seem to know that this force has the ability to directly affect the Jieyi mission. If the Source Court knows about this, the Jieyi mission should be shut down immediately. With such a big hidden danger, the Source Court can't let it go. No matter what."

"It is still unknown... whether we are the first team of gods designed by this force..."

"If we are not the first team designed, it will be interesting."

"If the source court has not noticed any abnormality, it means that some of the teams designed before have returned alive."

"But why didn't these teams who returned alive report this to the source court?"

"Or to understand it from another perspective, this force dared to let these teams return alive, so it must have been prepared. They knew that these teams would not expose them."

"Two possibilities, either these gods have rebelled, or the tampered memories have affected their cognition. Obviously, the second possibility is more likely."

"But there are sequence 3 or even sequence 2 participating in the boundary contract mission. What kind of ability can affect this level of cognition? The second possibility is actually not great."

"There is one last possibility, that is, these teams have reported it, but they were all blocked. There are accomplices of this force in the Source Court, and they are also the leaders of the Jieyi mission. In other words, the traitor is in the Mechanical Sanctuary..."

"It is most likely not the Overlord. He is not the Overlord, but he is in charge of the Mechanical Sanctuary. There is only a Sequence 1 in the Mechanical Sanctuary. The traitor is one of the eight Sequence 1 gods in the Mechanical Sanctuary."

"Stop, stop, don't say anymore." A small gap was torn in the space next to the cage.

A pale palm stretched out from the crack, and a long wound was torn in the palm. The wound was wriggling. Soon after, an eye drilled out of the wound, followed by a mouth.

"It's really boring to play games with a smart opponent like you."

"The game hasn't started yet, and you've already found the answer."

"You're doing this... It makes me embarrassed."

The mouth on the palm kept opening and closing, making extremely creepy sounds.

"Answer? It's just a simple guess. I don't know who you are yet." Lin Shan put his hands behind his back and looked into the eyes in his palms calmly. "Let me guess. You are from the Gray Mist. You are against the Source Court and have a relationship with the Outer Gods. You are the people of chaos, right?"

"You are too dangerous." The mouth in the palm opened and closed. "You are so smart. I don't dare to talk to you anymore. Just guess slowly..."

The arm was about to retract after the words fell.

The retraction stopped.

The arm was already tightly bound by the tentacles.

"Tentacles..." The eyes in the palms showed a look of surprise and then closed.

The arm began to fall off and rotted.

Lin Shan manipulated the tentacles to pass through the gap. Just as he was about to check the scene outside, he suddenly lost the sense.

The tentacles broke.
