Chapter 869: Chapter 477: Fear Spreads_3

Zhang Xiaomo shook her head.

If it was an ordinary Possession Spirit, there might still be time to save the situation, but now she was very clear that the ability to plunge the entire space into complete darkness was not something an ordinary strangeness could achieve.

It seemed that Auntie Deng had been infected by Wu Mayun.

The Auntie Deng before her was still slowly walking, dragging her severed arm, about to reach the stairway.

“Mom, if you don’t want to see, turn away first. This place has become very dangerous, we need to leave quickly,” Zhang Xiaomo said.

Luo Wenli was taken aback, realizing what she meant, sighed softly, and turned her head away.

Before long, the two gathered some clothes and went outside the courtyard. Before they could open the gate, Zhang Xiaomo paused, looked up at the sky, and felt that the daylight had become very dim.

And at this moment, it wasn’t even midday yet, but the diminution of daylight was very abnormal, with clumps of dark clouds distributed in all directions.

After thinking it over, she asked Luo Wenli to stay at the gate while she crossed the courtyard, unlocked the gate, and peered out.

But just two seconds later, Zhang Xiaomo quickly withdrew her body, turned around with a look of horror, and while walking back, she said to Luo Wenli, “Mom, go inside quickly, we can’t leave for now!”

Without waiting for Luo Wenli to ask why, after entering the house, she immediately closed the door behind her.

…

Standing in the Void.

Yan Junze did nothing but carefully recalled the conversation he had just overheard between the lab’s Associate Director Dong Sheng, Professor Qiu, and Professor Tian.

Now he could be certain that the lab explosion was not accidental, but because these people had some unspeakable purpose, and despite knowing that it could cause the lab to explode, they still went ahead with the consequences.

From the data in Dong Sheng’s computer, it was evident that he had long been studying parallel universes, another form of life, and even the movement of magnetic fields, implying that he may have known what the most likely outcome would be if his experiment succeeded.

If this explosion was part of a conspiracy, then Dong Sheng mentioned by Claudia in the Holy Hall of Yalidana must definitely refer to the Associate Director of the lab; there is no second person.

Further considering that Claudia could speak with two different voices and it was obvious that she had a lot of trust in Lin Yishan, this might indicate they are from the same sect.

For example, the person speaking with an old voice from within Claudia’s body could actually be from Huaying.

If things are as speculated, then it was not only Yan Junze who arrived in this world due to the lab explosion, but Dong Sheng as well.

Only, Yan Junze was lucky because the Spacetime Atlas merged with him, allowing him to traverse spacetime.

But Dong Sheng was unfortunate, as he was unable to take over a body in this world successfully and instead became another Spirit within that body, sharing it with the original owner.

Thinking of this, Yan Junze muttered to himself, “I wonder if, apart from Dong Sheng, professors Qiu Yuan and Tian Meng have also come over?”

This Tian Meng is the Professor Tian who conspired with Dong Sheng.

But upon further thought, the likelihood seemed slim; the fact that he had been resurrected and merged with the Atlas was already a stroke of luck.

Dong Sheng barely made it over and could only share a body with the original owner, and he may have taken some life-saving measure, so the chance for others to make it over was almost negligible.

At this moment, Yan Junze finally guessed why Claudia wanted Lin Yishan to include the words “Dong Sheng” in the Summoning Incantation.
