Chapter 675: Martian Script Returns to the Jianghu

After the middle‑aged man explained the current situation in Tianmian City to them, he told them "If you need anything, you can go to the Special Division to find him at any time," then left, giving them space to discuss a plan.

"What do you think?" Shen Zexi asked.

"Go straight to Captain Yue; he's more familiar with the situation in Tianmian City. Ask him directly if anything unusual has happened lately," Qi Hengyu said.

"He should be called Director Yue now; the Special Division has handed authority to the people of Tianmian City, so we still have to ask them," Chen Mo Zhi nodded.

After the others got acquainted, the introverted Luo Jinyou and Chen Mo Zhi would also speak up and state their thoughts when the others discussed a plan.

The group deliberated for a while; Ying Duo, who never took part in discussions before, had just rejoined the team and couldn't blend in immediately, whereas Luo Jinyou, like Yang Yixie, remained silent?

Shen Zexi originally wanted to ask Yang Yixie's opinion and help him integrate more with the team; although the gap between the two worlds no longer exists, Yang Yixie's vigilance is still high.

He had thought his relationship with Luo Jinyou was good, but why did Luo Jinyou also become mute at this moment?

"What do you think?" Shen Zexi could only pull the two into the conversation.

"…Should I change my name to Yuanfang?" Yang Yixie asked earnestly, but none of the guys got his joke, all of them wearing puzzled expressions.

But he was genuinely considering a pseudonym; originally his own name was enough to distinguish him from Ying Duo, and as long as he didn't go full‑power, that glowing green wouldn't appear, so even if others linked him with Ying Duo, they wouldn't believe it.

He just had to confront Fang Zhiyan, and there's also an "Entropy Light Cult" waiting there…

People always wish they could go back in time and kill the version of themselves who, while gaming, went berserk halfway through, spouting chuunibyou lines one after another.

Shen Zexi is always meticulous with others and especially attentive to his own people; regarding this, Yang Yixie merely let out a deep sigh.

"First go find Yue Chengzhang; I also have a question for him."

He had sent Mu Linyuan several messages before, and although Mu Linyuan was clearly online, he barely replied; later, he even unilaterally rejected the messages.

Even though he's already a Director, Yue Chengzhang still prefers to be on the front lines rather than sit in an office.

Opposite him stood two people in dark, shabby clothes, firmly restrained by several others in new uniforms, each wearing a pair of shackles on their wrists.

Even though they were already captured, they kept their heads down, their eyes evading yet stubborn, preferring death to turning around.

Yu Cai, half a step behind Yue Chengzhang, had just sheathed her sword, and she was the one who dealt with those two.

Although her Aberrant Arts are of the healing‑purification type, thanks to the swordsmanship she honed while following Yue Chengzhang, she has become a new star of the Special Division.

Yue Chengzhang held a transcript he had obtained from other radical elements and was reviewing its contents.

"What exactly do you mean by 'guidance'?" he asked, brow furrowed.

Although the dissolution of the Church seemed abrupt, in reality it may have been plotted in secret for a long time, and even many bishops chose to stay, even though they know this world has no gods, they still wish to recount the deeds of the deity who once watched over them.

The world's authorities have also accepted this.

That's why he can't understand why these people are so extreme about those absurd doctrines.

The person on the left moved his lips, his eyes fanatical, but his voice sounded hollow.

"Of course it's the green light."

"That's the mark left by the Holy Son! He will guide us! Miracles are also descending upon this world!"

Yue Chengzhang didn't interrupt him. Now, the green seems inseparable from the Mutation, and not long ago there was an inexplicable surge in Mutation Value; officials said the two worlds had another contact, but they have since separated.

It may be that the sudden earlier Mutation sparked new ideas among these radicals.

No.

Worshipping the Mutation…

That's no longer a radical; it's a pure cultist.

He casually handed the transcript to the person beside him for safekeeping; it is because of the war that he truly understands how hard peace is to come by, and how fortunate it is to have authorities willing to accept them.

Such luck cannot tolerate these cultists' sabotage.

The cultist beside him who had been restrained seemed to think his companion wasn't clear enough, even acting more fanatical than him.

"When darkness devours the earth, only the phosphorescence can guide the living! Its green light illuminates the wrong path, its Rune weaves protection—"

"Thud."

With a muffled thump, none of them cared to listen to the cultist's mad rant; after confirming the content was useless, they promptly gave him a peaceful sleep.

"Take them all back," Yue Chengzhang said.

Those two were taken back, and Yue Chengzhang then picked up a playing card recovered from their belongings—a Ace of Hearts—with something written on it.

"Is that a code?" Yu Cai also saw the demonic sigils on it, furrowing her brow.

"Yes, and I've seen it before," Yue Chengzhang said gravely, nodding.

He had indeed encountered such demonic‑sigil messages; during an operation against the Dome's residual forces, his squad also seized a playing card bearing those sigils.

Untranslatable

He could only read the numbers inside, but didn't know what they represented.

At that time, it was the Undead who, acting alongside them, deciphered the content, saying it was the language used for internal communication by the Entropy Surge, since they arrived a step too late and the Entropy Surge had already cleared the outpost.

Yet the Undead's expression was odd, even twisted, but it must indeed be text only an Undead could understand.

He had also seen modern scripts, and the difference wasn't large, so perhaps it's a common modern code?

He planned to take the playing card back to the Special Division and ask the people who came from the surface whether they knew what was written on it.

Previously it had only been at the suspicion stage; after submitting this, they should be able to confirm the link between the Entropy Surge and the Entropy Light Cult, and the authorities should be able to negotiate with the Entropy Surge.

"Director! Someone's looking for us; it's the 'Version Answer' person, representing the Special Division."

While Yue Chengzhang was fretting, someone hurried in to report; Yue Chengzhang was startled and quickly ordered them to be brought over.

Shen Zexi and his group went to the surface for Luo Jinyou's matter and stayed there; he thought he wouldn't see them again anytime soon.
