Abyssal Distortion Files

Beneath the deep sea lies a city.

Located in the very center of the Atlantic Ocean, it's called the City of Dreams, the headquarters of the Truth Church.

Its width and height can change at any time, all depending on the thoughts of the Lord of Deep Mist, or rather… depending on Chen Ye's thoughts.

At this moment, the architecture here is filled with a science fiction atmosphere, like a futuristic city built underground.

A huge towering tower connects the sky and the ground, and from the depths of the underground to the sky, it is divided into six layers.

The third layer is where the basic members of the church are located, known as the Dark Layer.

Lu Yaozong and Song Jiang looked up, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets at the sight of the tower-like building in front of them!

Is this still Earth?

File No. 7 Derivative: City of Dreams

Jiao Xiu led them through the third layer, where there were visibly many people.

"The headquarters is divided into six layers in total. The top layer is called the Light Layer, also known as the Inner Cabinet, and only the Prophet and the Five Elders are qualified to enter."

"The second layer below is called the Weak Light Layer. I won't tell you what it's for yet."

Jiao Xiu: Because I haven't made it up yet.

"Then there's the third layer where we are, the Dark Layer. This is the core layer of the entire Truth Church, where the basic members are located."

"The three layers below are where mysterious things are contained and imprisoned. You don't need to know about them yet."

Jiao Xiu: Because there's nothing inside yet.

At this moment, a black mist gate opened on the third layer.

Two men walked out of the black mist gate. The leading man wore glasses, and the man behind him had cyan-blue eyes.

Seeing the two men, Song Jiang asked curiously, "Are they also basic members? They seem to be dressed differently?"

Jiao Xiu shook his head, "They are not members. The person leading in front is at the same level as me, and the one behind him is a newly promoted high-level member of the Inner Cabinet, one of the Five Elders."

Lu Yaozong looked at Zhou Mo, "But that person looks very young?"

As if sensing something, Zhou Mo subconsciously turned his head.

The coldness unintentionally released from his eyes immediately gave Lu Yaozong a chill.

Jiao Xiu reached out and patted Lu Yaozong's shoulder, "Don't look around. The Five Elders are all Mystics, and their backers are extremely powerful."

"The one you see is called Warden Zhou Mo. His ability is to drive the dead and control the souls of the deceased. You better not provoke him."

"Otherwise, you won't even know how you died one day."

Lu Yaozong and Song Jiang withdrew their gazes upon hearing this, "He's a Mystic? Do we have a chance to become Mystics?"

Jiao Xiu shook his head, "Not everyone has the opportunity to make a contract with the mysterious."

"So, most people in the church are just ordinary people, just like me and you. Mysterious power is a matter of chance and often accompanied by deadly danger."

"We have no right to choose our mystery; only the mystery chooses us."

"So before that, you can only work hard and strive to improve yourselves."

"If one day you are favored by a certain mystery, you can become a Mystic."

"There are配套training facilities and venues within the church where you can exercise your body and mind separately. This is your only chance."

"But you must be prepared, because our training facilities currently only have two levels: one is called 'extremely difficult,' and the other is called 'life-threatening.'"

"And when you break through to the lower level of the Light Realm, you can become an official member of the church and start to come into contact with the mysterious."

"So, good luck."

Jiao Xiu laughed inwardly. These so-called training facilities were designed by them, frying, stir-frying, boiling, and torturing the body and mind!

We guarantee you'll regret coming to this world!

As for… whether this method can really help ordinary people break through their physical limits, only this, they cannot guarantee.

But as long as you are willing to work hard, it is still very easy to die inside.

Lu Yaozong and Song Jiang felt a strange chill pass through their bodies, especially when Jiao Xiu looked at them.

This feeling was even stronger!

Jiao Xiu looked at Song Jiang, "Originally, we were colleagues, and I didn't want to make things difficult for you… but this is the rule set by the boss!"

"Don't blame me."

……

Zhou Mo walked up the central tower and reached the top floor along with the platform.

The decoration here is very retro, with a round table and several chairs, and a blue crystal ball on the round table.

The Prophet was sitting at the round table, and Li Yang was also on one side of the round table.

Zhou Mo walked up and said, "Didn't you say there were five elders? Where are the others?"

Chen Ye's consciousness instantly descended on this clone, "There are no others. For now, there are only the three of us here."

Zhou Mo found a seat and sat down casually, "I heard Gui Xiu say that we have been promoted to the power class and can create our own direct departments, right?"

Chen Ye did not deny it.

"That's right. Whether it's mystery or Mystics, they all have the risk of completely losing control, including us."

"In order to prevent us from deviating from our original intentions, and to prevent the disaster caused by my loss of control, I decided to establish the Church Inner Cabinet."

"You are all the people I have chosen, and I believe you can take on this responsibility."

Li Yang did not comment on this, but instead talked about another matter, "Regarding the Ancestral Serpent, our plan failed."

"I know."

Chen Ye supported his chin with his hands and said in a calm tone, "Since I am the Prophet of the Church, there are few things in this world that I don't know."

"For example, you fought another Mystic and lost your left leg."

Hearing Chen Ye's words, Zhou Mo couldn't help but glance at Li Yang's leg, "To make you lose a leg, it seems that your opponent is not weak?"

Li Yang shook his head, "No, he is just a mortal with flesh and blood and has average kung fu, but his ability is very tricky."

"He should be the Mystic of the Ancestral Serpent, mastering the ability of corrosion and earth escape. I was caught off guard by him."

Zhou Mo's cyan-blue eyes flashed, "Earth escape and corrosion?"

"I may not be as good as you at dealing with monsters, but if the opponent is a person, I can help you kill him."

Hearing Zhou Mo's words, Li Yang showed a strange look.

"You seem to have changed?"

Compared to the Zhou Mo he saw last time, today's him is completely different.

Zhou Mo propped his head with his hand, as if he didn't quite understand Li Yang's words, "People change, is there anything surprising about that?"

"I just found my way."

「Talk to your friends nicely」

Qi Youluo's voice came, and Zhou Mo's mouth twitched subconsciously, "Sovereign Lord, are you interfering a little too much?"

「Are you talking to me?」

"I was wrong, Sovereign Lord."
