#68 - 68. Colored minerals
After securing the spider legs, Lin Ye swayed left and right, using the eight legs to move forward in a staggered fashion. At first, he was a bit flustered, but after a while, he gradually adapted to the feeling of walking with multiple legs, even starting to jump around in the mine.
Because he had eight legs, he could exert force in a staggered manner and even move on the walls, which was quite convenient.
Lin Ye began to clear out the mutated creatures in the mine, piecing some of their corpses onto himself and turning the rest into bullets for his right hand.
After Lin Ye cleared out a nest of large worms, he discovered a strange, multicolored ore inside. This ore didn't look like anything proper, all colorful and bright like little fairy lights.
Lin Ye dug into the mine wall for a while and quickly found a similar ore inside.
'The ore is likely related to the anomaly here. Maybe I can find the source of the anomaly based on the ore's density.'
Lin Ye tried to sense the ore within the mine walls and kept moving towards the areas with more ore. After wandering through the maze-like mine for an hour, he finally found the area with the richest concentration of that ore.
It was a large underground space that had been hollowed out, about the size of a soccer field. The walls were covered in exposed ore, and its light illuminated the entire space. It seemed someone had done something here before, but now only some residual traces remained.
At the end of the space, a bloated humanoid monster covered in ore and pustules was lying prone. If some of its organs didn't still retain traces of humanity, Lin Ye wouldn't have been able to tell that it was likely a human originally.
Of course, Lin Ye's current appearance wasn't much better than the monster's.
A door made of ore was embedded in the wall behind the monster, and it was lying outside the door like a watchdog.
Lin Ye didn't try to communicate with the ore monster. Instead, he jumped to close the distance, then greeted it with his right hand.
Bang!
The bullet shattered the mutated organs inside the ore monster, but it roared and pounced at Lin Ye as if it hadn't been injured at all.
Lin Ye hurriedly jumped back and kept attacking various parts of the ore monster's body with his right hand. But no matter how he attacked, the ore monster would quickly recover. Even if its joints were broken, the severed ends would quickly and grotesquely fuse back together.
However, the ore monster wouldn't leave the ore space. As long as Lin Ye retreated back into the mine, it would stop chasing and return to guarding the door.
'This is a bit troublesome. I could try that bullet.'
Lin Ye went in and out of the ore space several times, and after confirming that he couldn't solve the monster just by attrition, he decided to try using that bullet to severely injure it.
'Now the question is, after using that bullet, should I try to kill the monster or open that door?'
'Killing the monster is very risky. If that bullet can't severely injure the monster, then I'll be the one who gets killed. Even if I don't die, there's a risk of being trapped here.'
'Opening the door also has risks. It might not open, and who knows what's behind it…'
After thinking about it, Lin Ye finally decided to go see what was behind the door. If he got blocked at the door, he could still find a way to jump back. If he got close to the monster, he might not be able to get back.
Having made his decision, Lin Ye loaded that bullet and jumped into the ore space again.
The ore monster immediately rushed towards Lin Ye. It wasn't very smart, but it was a qualified guardian.
Lin Ye also jumped towards the monster and fired a shot at its upper body from less than a meter away.
As soon as he pushed open the ore door, Lin Ye sensed the ore monster's half body standing up again behind him and quickly rushing towards him.
Lin Ye hurriedly entered the door and closed it.
Thud!
The ore monster crashed into the wall next to the ore door. It didn't even dare to touch the ore door, let alone go in and cause trouble for Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked around. Inside the door was a room made entirely of colorful ore. The room was only 50 square meters, but the ceiling was very high, more than ten meters.
In the center of the room stood a headless human statue. A colorful crystal was embedded in the statue's chest. The crystal was similar to the ore, but it looked purer.
Lin Ye cautiously scanned the entire room. He thought it would be very dangerous here, but after sensing for a while, he didn't find anything dangerous.
'That's strange? Could the statue be the danger?'
Lin Ye stood in front of the statue. He didn't sense any danger from it. He tried to dig the colorful crystal out of the statue.
The moment he got the crystal, Lin Ye convulsed and fell to the ground, dead.

Back at the shelter, Lin Ye finally realized that he had resolved the anomaly. The state of being unable to die disappeared. He was severely injured at the time, and his internal organs were gone, so as soon as the state was lifted, he died.
“I thought the crystal was the problem. I didn’t expect it to be solved so easily.”
Lin Ye picked up the crystal glowing on the floor of the shelter and began to check the system description.
[Redemption Godstone]
[A sacred object of the Redemption Church, possessing the power of redemption. Most people who come into contact with it become followers of the God of Redemption.]
[Note: Death is true redemption.]
“So it’s something from the Redemption Church. No wonder it’s so improper.”
‘Entering that mine easily turns people into Redemption Church believers, so the organization didn’t send anyone in to deal with the anomaly? Then what was the operation of throwing people in there? Some kind of ritual?’
‘I’m a demigod, so I can’t worship other gods anymore, so I’m okay?’
Lin Ye found a small box to put the Redemption Godstone in. He didn’t want the shelter to be flashing fairy lights at night.
After dealing with the Redemption Godstone, Lin Ye glanced at the new title.
[Aberrant]
[You have mutated your body and can skillfully use the new organs after mutation.]
[Note: The beginning of the path of mutation.]
“Not my own body.”
Lin Ye couldn’t help but complain.
Those people in the mine should be dead now. Hopefully, the organization won’t throw any more people in there.
Chicken Bro was still incubating eggs. After preparing some delicious silkworms for Chicken Bro and pouring some feed and hot water for the mutated flesh plant, Lin Ye went to the game room to play cards and complete his daily psionic energy cycle.
Under the waiter's reluctant gaze, Lin Ye returned to the shelter. There was still some time before the nighttime activities, so he began to digest the runes and try to create new psionic items.
