From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

The coastal headquarters building of the Jagged Investigation Bureau.

When Lu Heng drove downstairs, Gao Zhiting hurriedly came up to him and opened the door.

"Master is still having a meeting upstairs and asked me to come down to greet you."

The master he was talking about was naturally Chen Linian.

Lu Heng came over after receiving a call. When he saw Gao Zhiting, he asked, "I didn't explain it clearly on the phone before. Why are you so anxious?"

Gao Zhiting led Lu Heng into the headquarters building and walked toward the elevator. As he walked, he said:

"This time things are a bit tricky, so Master wants to invite you over to see if there is anything we can do.

“The thing is, there have been many disappearances in recent times.

“We’ve been checking, but we don’t have any clues.

“Because many disappearances are related to demons, they are extremely difficult to investigate.

"This time we initially thought it might be related to demons, but when we were investigating the Temperator case, we interrogated a suspect and got an additional piece of information.

"A mercenary of the Knights of the Round Table mentioned during the interrogation that he saw a supernatural being with the rank of [Necromancer] in Binhai.

"There are clues that the previously missing person is probably related to this undead wizard. It is suspected that this person is making undead warriors."

While they were talking, the two of them had already reached the seventh floor and arrived at the office area of ​​the investigation team.

Gao Zhiting waved and led Lu Heng into an observation room.

The screen in the observation room is showing the picture of the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Chen Linian was questioning a person with supernatural powers.

This supernatural being is a white male, in his forties, with deep, gloomy eyes, long blond hair, and stubble on his face that he hasn’t shaved for a while.

Gao Zhiting handed a piece of information to Lu Heng and said, "This man's name is White Pierre. We suspect that he is the necromancer revealed by the Knights of the Round Table mercenaries, but we can't find any evidence."

Lu Heng took the information and looked at it. When he saw the first few lines of the information, he knew why this case was difficult.

Because this White Pierre is the Asia-Pacific executive of Kate Investment Group of the White Eagle Federation, which means that this person has the ability to influence tens of billions of investments in Daxia.

With such a huge amount of funds, Kate Investment Group does not need to come forward at all. Those regional companies and officials who hope to obtain investment will find ways to rescue him.

Of course, Iron Blood has the power to handle the case, but there is a problem. Torture methods cannot be used before the person is determined to be guilty.

If the person is injured in custody and no evidence is found to convict him, things can get complicated.

Lu Heng asked strangely: "Weren't you using your mental abilities to interrogate?"

Gao Zhiting explained: "I tried, but they all failed. This person is a psychic psychic with very high mental attributes and may have mental resistance skills. Our mental interrogation is almost ineffective against him."

According to the information, this White Pierre's level has reached level 31, and his mental attributes are as high as 84 points.

If he also had mental resistance skills, it would be really difficult to find someone who could conduct mental interrogation on him.

Lu Heng thought for a moment, opened the door of the observation room, walked over and pushed the door open to enter the interrogation room.

When Chen Linian saw someone coming in, he looked back and asked, "Why did you come in?"

Lu Heng pointed to the surveillance camera and said, "Except Inspector Chen, everyone else goes out and turns off the surveillance camera."

"Are you sure?" Chen Linian probably guessed what Lu Heng wanted to do.

He also wanted to ask for useful clues as soon as possible, because his superiors had already begun to inquire about this matter.

"Simple."

After Lu Heng waited for the others to go out, he walked up to White Pierre and stared into his eyes.

There was a hint of arrogance in White Pierre's eyes, and he raised the corners of his lips and sneered: "Here comes another clown."

He is very confident, because his mental power is the first echelon among the current superpowers, and no one can ask him for useful information.

Lu Heng pulled out the Aurora Blade from the void, inserted it into the back of his hand, nailed his palm to the table, and then activated [Spiritual Control].

"ah!"

White Pierre groaned in pain and looked at Lu Heng with surprised eyes. He did not expect that the Daxia man in front of him would dare to hurt him here.

The moment their eyes met, he felt a surge of spiritual power pouring into his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he lost consciousness and fell into a sluggish state.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for a psychic with a mental attribute of around 80 to perform mental torture on White Pierre.

Lu Heng's basic mental attribute is 83 points. The mental resistance finger worn on his left index finger +2 mental attributes, so it is 85 mental points.

And White Pierre's mental attribute is exactly 85 points.

In addition, he is a spiritual superpower, and the skills he possesses are basically spiritual.

Therefore, it would be difficult for Lu Heng to mentally torture him.

However, the reason why [Spiritual Control] is stronger than [Domination of Will] is because this skill has an additional effect, which temporarily increases the mental attributes by 5% when using the skill.

This increased Lu Heng's 85 points of mental power to 89 points.

In addition, Lu Heng pierced his palm with the Aurora Blade.

The Aurora Blade has the LV3 level [Spirit Killing] special effect.

[Spirit-Slaying LV3: When attacking, it will cause 16 points of mental damage, add a Soul-Slaying effect, and weaken the target's mental attributes by 16 points. 】

In other words, the Aurora Blade pierced his palm, directly weakening his mental attributes by 16 points.

As a result, White Pierre's original 85 points of mental power were weakened to 69 points.

Lu Heng used 89 points of spiritual attributes to suppress his 69 points, and successfully released [Spiritual Control].

White Pierre suddenly fell into a state of unconsciousness, asking questions and answering questions.

Lu Heng directly used three questions to ask for evidence that could prove his guilt.

And this person does have the [Necromancer] class.

He obtained this class from a magical world, and he originally wanted to use this class to create a powerful undead army.

Now that he was caught and direct evidence was found, the only thing that greeted him was the death penalty.

…

After settling this matter, Lu Heng spent the next two days practicing the skill proficiency of [Windrunner] at the Wuliqiao training ground.

The proficiency of [Windrunner] has reached (2680/3000), and the upgrade is not far away, so hurry up and rush.

It’s noon this day.

A black crow appeared in the sky, circled twice and then landed. It was 013.

013 raised his hand and took out a suitcase, put it on the table, and said, "This is a reward for you. As long as you can find the trace of 027, you can get one more box."

Lu Heng reached out to open the suitcase and found two rows of injections in glass tubes.

"What's this?"

"SPA-3 type, a treasure that can help you become stronger quickly." 013 explained.

Lu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, because he already knew what this thing was.

SPA-3 type is actually a super potion.

However, it is different from ordinary super potions.

The SPA series, starting from type 1, extracts source energy from human blood and makes super potions.

SPA-3 type is a product after technological innovation. The purity of this series of products is very high, and the side effects are very small. If the number of injections is not large, there are not even many side effects, and the combat power is indeed improved.

However, the rules have already been written in human genes, and the production of source energy needs to be produced through mitochondria.

Obtaining source energy from the outside will cause the mitochondria of human cells to mistakenly believe that the source energy content in the body is sufficient, thereby reducing the conversion of source energy.

The more source energy is obtained from the outside world, the lower the source energy conversion of mitochondria will be. Over time, the body will have an unacceptable low source energy conversion rate.

Therefore, as long as it is a super potion, no matter how high its purity is, it will eventually lead to the same problem.

However, this SPA-3 type requires continuous injection for more than a year before the side effects will gradually become obvious.

Lu Heng saw that what 013 took out turned out to be a super potion, and it was the most expensive super potion at this stage.

If this thing is put on the market in Western countries, the price of one can reach tens of millions.

There is a full box of twelve bottles here, which is indeed a huge sum of money if measured by price.

"Super potion." Lu Heng said these four words and looked at 013 with an unkind look.

013 explained: "This is the SPA-3 type. It is completely different from the super potions you have seen. It can greatly increase your combat power."

If it were anyone else, they might have believed what he said.

As long as you inject this type of SPA-3 once, you will be addicted to the powerful medicinal effect of soaring combat power.

Moreover, since the side effects of this SPA-3 type are relatively small, you won’t even feel many side effects in the first few months of injection.

If it were someone else, after trying it, they might consider this thing a holy medicine.

A year later, when the side effects slowly appeared, the body could no longer get rid of its desire for super medicine.

By that time, the demand for super potions will be higher and higher.

If you continue to inject this type of SPA-3, you can still maintain peak combat power for up to a year. After that, the energy efficiency of mitochondrial conversion in the body will fall to the bottom, and combat power will begin to decline.

In other words, injection of this type of SPA-3 can maintain peak combat power for nearly two years.

For the Creator Organization, allowing members of the organization to have peak combat power for two years is enough to do a lot of things.

Lu Heng covered the suitcase, walked back and said coldly: "I don't want this kind of thing, just use it to deceive other idiots. Don't use it to embarrass me."

013 did not respond to these words. After a moment of silence, he said: "If you don't want this, I can help you apply for other items as rewards.

"In addition, there is one more thing. You should not have absorbed the essence of [Shadow Knight] yet. The organization hopes that you can hand over this essence.

"Of course, the organization will use items of equal value in exchange, are you willing?"

It is true that Lu Heng has not absorbed the essence of the [Shadow Knight]. After all, this class has very strong combat power and can be exchanged for other essences.

"What are you going to exchange for?"

013 then asked: "What do you want? You can give me a general direction. As long as the organization has it, you can use it in exchange."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said: "I will decide whether to exchange the three-level source materials of the Summoning, Perception, and Assistance systems after I have seen them."

"Yes, I will report it to the organization." 013 agreed, spread his wings, flew into the sky and disappeared.

…

One day later, 013 appeared again and continued to discuss the exchange of [Shadow Knight] essence.

"The third-level source materials that the organization can take out include the summoning type [Spirit Controller], the perception type [Beyond Vision Eye], and the auxiliary type [Tree of Life]. Are there any you are willing to exchange?"

After Lu Heng heard the names of the three source materials, he said without much hesitation: "[Tree of Life Vine], you can exchange it for it."

"Okay, wait for me here. I'll be back in an hour." 013 said and flew into the sky again and disappeared.

An hour later he reappeared with a suitcase.

After the suitcase was opened, there was a piece of emerald green third-level source material inside, which was the [Tree of Life Vine].

Lu Heng took out the [Shadow Knight] essence and exchanged it for the [Tree of Life] essence.

After completing the exchange, Lu Heng took the [Tree of Life Vine] essence and went back to ask Su Muyu to meet.

The two met in the practice room.

As soon as they met, Su Muyu smiled and said, "Guess why I'm so happy?"

Lu Heng looked at her with a smile on her face and began to guess: "Succeeded in losing weight?"

Su Muyu's eyes widened and she said angrily: "Okay, I'm not happy now. How have I gained weight! Huh?"

Lu Heng laughed and said, "Just kidding, it should be the sub-professional upgrade."

In fact, I knew before that her inscription master level was about to be upgraded. According to her speed, it should be within the next few days.

Su Muyu pursed her lips and muttered: "That's pretty much it. I've been promoted to a senior inscription master. When I have B-level inscription materials, I will make you a ring with a spiritual attribute of +4."

"Well, you prepared a ring for me so early." Lu Heng added another joke.

Su Muyu frowned and muttered: "You know how to make fun of me every day."

"Okay, no more joking. This is for you. You should consider whether you want this third-level rank." Lu Heng took out the [Tree of Life Vine] source of essence and handed it to her.

Su Muyu took the source material, checked the attributes, raised her eyebrows and said, "The abilities of this class are very good. It is from the auxiliary system. I think this class is suitable for me."

Seeing that she was quite satisfied with the [Tree of Life], Lu Heng said: "If you think it's good, just absorb it. Now the number of superpowers who have reached level 30 or above will gradually increase, and they will have three-level transfers." The number of people in the ranks will increase rapidly. We must also get the third rank as soon as possible.”

Su Muyu nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll absorb it."

As she spoke, she absorbed the essence of the [Tree of Life Vine] into her body.

The source of energy turns into a stream of emerald green life energy, flowing into the arms, flowing along the blood vessels, nourishing the cells throughout the body.

[Absorb the third-level source material "Tree of Life" and start the battle for the source material. 】

[Completeness of source material fusion: 13%]

[Temporarily obtain the ability of source material: Tree of Life Vine]

[Tree of Life: The source of the power of nature. It was once the sacred power mastered by druids. Using this ability, you can summon vines that contain the power of life. 】

[Effect 1: The Tree of Life Vine can suture wounds, speed up wound healing, and give the injured tenacious vitality. 】

[Effect 2: When attacked, the life tree vine can quickly grow and wrap around itself and its companions, forming a solid tree vine barrier to block attacks. 】

[The skill "Dark Thorn Trap" has mutated due to the source material and changed into "Life Tree Vine Trap". 】

[Life Tree Vine Trap: Lay a trap around the caster. The target who steps into the trap will be entangled by the Life Tree Vine, causing 3×mental damage per minute. Multiple traps can be set up at the same time until the source energy is exhausted. Skill consumption: 20 points of source energy. Skill level: C level. 】

Su Muyu looked at the obtained [Tree of Life] essence and asked in surprise: "My Dark Thorn Trap skill has mutated and turned into a Tree of Life Trap. How can this happen again?"

This was the first time she knew that skills would mutate due to source matter.

Although the Scout Eagle also evolved into the Chongming Bird step by step because of his class, these improvements are the inherent effects of the class essence.

This time, the [Tree of Life Vine] itself does not have the effect of strengthening the skill. This time, the skill is mutated purely because of the source quality.

When Lu Heng heard what she said, he nodded and said: "It is indeed possible that this situation will happen, but the chance is quite small. I found that your luck is really good."

"Hehe..." Su Muyu couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

After the skill mutated into [Life Tree Vine Trap], the skill level did not increase, but the effect was greatly enhanced.

Because of the elemental bonus, the binding ability of this skill is definitely stronger.

There is also the number of traps to be placed. The previous [Dark Thorn Trap] can be placed 3 at the same time.

After mutating into the [Life Tree Vine Trap], there is no limit to the number. Countless traps can be deployed as long as the source is available.

Her current total source energy is 910 points, and the [Dragon Eye Gem Bracelet] can reduce the source energy consumption by 10%.

In other words, using [Life Tree Vine Trap] only requires 18 points of source energy, and with full source energy, 50 traps can be placed at the same time.

This does not include the source energy recovered during the period. As long as the source energy recovery can keep up, hundreds of traps can be laid at the same time.

After Su Muyu finished absorbing the essence of the [Tree of Life Vine], she remembered and asked: "By the way, I was so happy that I forgot about it. Where did you get this essence?"

"In exchange for [Shadow Knight] Essence." Lu Heng didn't hide it from her.

"We all have the third-level source material, will we be recruited in the battle for the source material?"

Su Muyu remembered that the last time she was summoned to the Sykes civilization was because she obtained the second-level source essence, and then the conscription countdown appeared.

So this time she stared at the data panel, wanting to see if the conscription countdown would appear.

However, she looked for a long time, and the conscription countdown did not appear.

Then she looked again every few minutes.

The countdown did not appear until an hour later, when she checked again and suddenly saw the conscription countdown of 7 days.

"It appeared, the conscription countdown has started. Why is it at this time?" Su Muyu said in surprise.

Lu Heng also hurriedly took a look at the attribute panel and did see the conscription countdown.

However, the time interval between this conscription countdown and Su Muyu's acquisition of the source essence was a bit long. It should not be because of the source essence battle she started, but something else happened.

After so many conscriptions, Su Muyu has discovered some patterns.

The conscriptions in the Abyss Battlefield are often related to what is happening.

For example, the last time they were recruited into the world of the Dark Iron Dwarves was because a psychic took away the Dark Iron Dwarves' quenching furnace, causing the Dark Iron tribe to fall into trouble, so a second recruitment occurred.
