285. Chapter 285: Triggering Taboos
As Zhang Songlin's lecture ended, many Spirit Perception experts at the scene began to disperse one after another. However, Lin Yue and Li Yi didn't leave because they still had things to do. Of course, they weren't the only ones who stayed behind; there were also several other evolvers who didn't leave, seemingly also having things they wanted to find Zhang Songlin for.
After most of them had left.
Zhang Songlin looked at the few students who hadn't left and asked with a smile: "The lecture is already over. You are still unwilling to leave; you must have other things to find me for. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Let's see if the teacher can help you. Wang Bo, you are already in the Soul Realm. Even things you can't handle must be very troublesome. You speak first."
Immediately, the Soul Realm man named Wang Bo said with some apology: "Originally, I didn't intend to trouble you, Teacher, but this matter is truly very important, so I could only shamelessly seek your help. The matter is like this: didn't a fierce person appear in Tianhan City a while ago who killed almost all the fierce beasts in the danger zone?"
"There is such a matter. I have also heard of it. It seems to be an evolver named A-Wei, who is said to have come from Tianchang City," Zhang Songlin nodded.
Wang Bo continued: "Originally, killing fierce beasts was a good thing and helped with the city's safety in Tianhan City. But because of this reason, the food chain in the danger zone became unbalanced. Transcendent creatures lost their food source and began to riot. Originally, transcendent creatures should have been killing each other, but among these transcendent creatures, an anomaly appeared. A fox actually controlled these transcendent creatures and made them form a group. This matter was originally under the jurisdiction of the local Investigation Bureau. My colleague Zhang Tao and I have been busy with cross-dimensional matters. Two days ago, we received a task from the Investigation Bureau, requiring us to hunt that fox."
"However, the fox's strength is terrifying. My colleague Zhang Tao and I joined forces and not only failed to take it down, but Zhang Tao was also injured and unable to fight for a short time."
"For something that even Soul Realm experts can't deal with, I think only Teacher can ensure foolproof results if you take action in Tianhan City."
He stated his request, hoping Zhang Songlin would take action to kill the fox, helping him complete the task while also removing a hidden danger in Tianhan City.
No one wanted to see a situation where a fox led a group of transcendent creatures.
It was fine for these things to stay in the danger zone now, but what if they lacked food one day and wanted to rush into the city?
Such a huge threat—it was no wonder the Tianhan City Investigation Bureau was highly nervous, even going so far as to mobilize two Soul Realm experts to handle it.
After hearing this, Zhang Songlin said: "Dealing with a fox is not a difficult matter, but finding it is not simple. That fox must have become a climate and has wisdom. You have fought with it, so it must have been startled now and knows how to hide itself. Generally, it won't show its face easily again."
"Teacher, don't worry about this. When we fought with that fox, we got a few strands of its hair. Through these few strands of hair, I can use a biological locator to locate it. This is a technological product from the Golden Academy. By reading the biological energy wavelength, it can accurately lock onto the creature's position."
Wang Bo said, taking out an instrument similar to a notebook from his backpack.
"The coverage of the instrument is twenty kilometers. As long as we take a helicopter and circle around Tianhan City, the probability of locking onto the other party is very high."
As he spoke, he took out a few strands of biological hair. The hair looked ordinary, but in reality, light flowed in the dark, carrying a bit of divinity.
Obviously, he had also come fully prepared.
Zhang Songlin said: "Since that's the case, very well. Then I will take time to accompany you on a trip in these two days."
He agreed to this matter.
After all, he also had a responsibility regarding city safety, and he was willing to contribute when he should.
"Thank you, Teacher." Upon hearing this, Wang Bo was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
Zhang Songlin waved his hand and said: "It's just a small matter; no need to thank me. After all, this is also a task of the Investigation Bureau."
Subsequently, he looked to the other side: "Lin Yue, come over. You didn't just come to Teacher's place to listen to the lecture this time, right? You must have also encountered troublesome things. Speak, let's see if Teacher can help you."
"Teacher."
Lin Yue brought Li Yi over and introduced: "This is Li Yi, a combat personnel of the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau. Coming to find Teacher this time is still for the matter last time. I hope Teacher can help find a solution."
Zhang Songlin took a deep look at Li Yi. His eyes were very deep, with little rays of light flowing inside, which was different from the gaze of other evolvers, appearing extremely extraordinary.
Li Yi felt very unnatural being stared at by the other party, as if his privacy was being pried into.
"Lin Yue, the matter you mentioned last time is very special and very unique. I have never seen it before," Zhang Songlin withdrew his gaze, sighed, and said: "Even if Teacher wants to help you, I am powerless, and this matter is not something I can handle."
"Even you can't handle it, Teacher?" Lin Yue was very shocked.
Zhang Songlin smiled: "The world is so big, and the path of cultivation has no end. Teacher, I have only walked two more steps than you; it counts for nothing. Naturally, I will also encounter things I cannot handle. I am not a true immortal who can do anything. But regarding Li Yi's matter, I can only give one piece of advice: the one who tied the bell must untie it."
"The danger on Li Yi is obviously not from our world. Finding the world from which that danger originated, a solution can surely be sought from within that world."
Lin Yue said: "Teacher, the problem is we can't determine which world the danger came from."
Zhang Songlin thought for a while, then said: "Perhaps the Golden Academy will have what you want. There are many cross-dimensional travelers there, and you can better contact information about other worlds there. If your luck isn't too bad, you should be able to find some clues. However, I also have some of my own speculations regarding your matter, Li Yi."
He actually paid a little attention to Li Yi's matter, because Li Yi's situation was very special and rare, which made him quite interested.
"Professor Zhang, please speak," Li Yi said very politely.
Zhang Songlin said: "The potential hidden danger on you actually originates from your parents, and your parents' problem originates from an accident during a soul cross-dimensional migration six years ago. I think that when your parents had that soul cross-dimensional migration, they must have encountered some accident, which is why they both fell into silence. At the same time, the danger Lin Yue mentioned also appeared from that time."
Li Yi nodded, feeling it made sense.
"Cross-dimensional travelers themselves don't have problems; any danger can only come from other worlds," Zhang Songlin said: "So I have reason to suspect that one of your parents might not be your parents at all, but your memory had problems, and your cognition was changed by some kind of power, so you have never noticed it."
Once these words were spoken, Li Yi's pupils suddenly constricted.
Although he had already had this guess before, now that it was pointed out, his heart still couldn't help but tremble.
But just at the moment it was pointed out.
It seemed a certain taboo was violated. It was clearly still broad daylight, but the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, as if entering the night in one second, and everyone's vision was severely obstructed, as if a layer of black thick fog appeared before their eyes, obscuring everything, giving people a feeling of being isolated from the world.
"What is going on?" Wang Bo, who was involved on the side, had his expression tighten. He looked at Li Yi, very shocked and suspicious.
Although he didn't know what happened, there was no doubt that it must have something to do with this person.
What kind of person did Lin Yue bring here? Why could just a few words cause such a big change in the surroundings?
"Did transcendent creatures appear?"
"No, this isn't something transcendent creatures can do. Everything around has been interfered with by some kind of incomprehensible power. It was clearly fine just a moment ago."
"The sky... is gone, and it's raining?"
The few Spirit Perception evolvers who hadn't left were also shocked by this sudden change. They looked left and right, sensing everything around them, and finally looked up abruptly, only to find that the original sky had disappeared. A layer of darkness that couldn't be dissolved shrouded everyone's heads. At the same time, at this moment, drops of fresh blood began to appear constantly.
Such a bizarre scene made people feel fear inexplicably.
What kind of power could achieve such a level?
"Li Yi..." Lin Yue was suddenly shocked and hurriedly looked at Li Yi: "Don't think wildly."
"It's not me," Li Yi said immediately.
Lin Yue reacted and looked at Teacher Zhang Songlin.
"It seems that even mentioning it will violate taboos and bring about inauspiciousness," Zhang Songlin shook his head and smiled: "Lin Yue, you have truly brought a huge trouble to this teacher of mine. Things of this level cannot be easily dealt with. If it goes badly, this old bone of mine will have to be accounted for here today."
"Teacher, I am very sorry. It is my fault," Lin Yue said shamefully at this moment.
She didn't want to implicate her teacher either, but she didn't expect this matter to be so serious.
"This is not your fault; it is I who was too careless. You reminded me last time not to mention Li Yi's mother casually, but I still couldn't help but point out the existence of his mother. I didn't expect the situation to become so serious all of a sudden," Zhang Songlin said. He could also be considered to have gained knowledge this time.
There truly was such a bizarre and strange thing in the world; just mentioning its existence would bring about danger.
If the other party was really that powerful, then why had it been entangled with an ordinary evolver for a full six years? And during that time, they had always lived together in peace?
This was too unreasonable.
"Teacher, then what should we do now? Can I help with anything?" Wang Bo, who was in the Soul Realm, asked in a low voice.
"Don't say anything, don't do anything, and don't think wildly. If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it's unavoidable. I can't be sure if we can pass this hurdle," Zhang Songlin could only say earnestly: "It's too late to leave now. A strange and unknown power has sealed everything around. Acting rashly will only make things worse."
"And Li Yi's mother is here."
Suddenly.
In a dim corner of the surroundings, a woman was standing there at some point. The woman's face was pale, her expression was stiff, and a pair of empty and numb eyes were looking at the crowd, with a bizarre smile on the corners of her mouth.
Such a person, no matter how one looked at it, didn't look like a living person.
Her whole body was dead, and corpse spots had even grown on the exposed skin.
And there wasn't even a trace of cosmic energy fluctuation felt on her whole body.
"What the hell is this?"
Zhang Songlin only took one look, and he knew that the thing in front of him exceeded his understanding, and even subverted common sense. ===== CHAPTER 283 =====
