Chapter 801: Provocation

Seeing Gussin indirectly indicate that he was the second most dangerous person in Morora, Lu Mian wasn't surprised, but instead asked with a smile,

"What have you done? I mean, what have you done in Morora?"

Gussin restrained his smile and said seriously,

"Organizing riots."

"We have already come to the 'City of Exiles,' why should we still accept the rule of the Church of Knowledge? We should unite and drive the Church of Knowledge out of Morora. By then, we will formulate the rules ourselves and rule here ourselves!"

Not considering anything else, your words do make sense, but the problem is, since you have overthrown the rule of the Church of Knowledge, why stay in Morora? Is this the influence of "0-01"? The residents of Morora will not consider leaving this city at all... Fortunately, I have a fake angel level, and there are many messy things on me, so I am just a bit reluctant to leave, not to the point of having no ideas... Lu Mian first confirmed the abnormality of Morora from Gussin's answer, then understood why people here thought Gussin was the second most dangerous person in Morora:

Riots are things that the Church of Knowledge does not allow to happen, and combined with the introduction of the "0-01" seal data, Gussin should have organized many riots, yet he hasn't been caught and put into the experimental personnel team!

This is enough to show that this mature man who looks like a gentleman is not simple.

Seeing that Louis was not scared by his rhetoric, nor did he show obvious resistance, Gussin issued an invitation,

"Do you want to join our team?"

"I will consider it." Lu Mian responded with a smile.

He was really planning to consider it. This might be a way to get close to "0-01" without becoming an experimental person.

He believed that this group of rabble who couldn't even resist the influence of "0-01" couldn't truly overthrow the rule of the Church of Knowledge in Morora, but all he needed was chaos and opportunity.

Those who were exiled would die if they died, and those in the Church of Knowledge here seemed to be puppets.

Gussin showed a satisfied smile,

"Whether to continue being a prisoner in this open-air prison or to become the ruler here, whether to be oppressed and bound forever or to pursue freedom, it really needs careful consideration."

Having said this, Gussin looked at the opposite side of the small square,

"I will take my leave first. If you think it through, hang a piece of red cloth at the entrance of the 'Carnivore' bar, the kind of red cloth that provokes bulls."

After speaking, Gussin took off his top hat and bowed with his hand on his chest.

Watching him turn into a nearby alley at a moderate pace, Lu Mian saw a team of law enforcers wearing black robes rushing over from the opposite side of the small square.

"Did you see Gussin just now? He looks like a gentleman wearing a top hat." The leader asked Lu Mian.

The smile on Lu Mian's face unfolded inch by inch, and he pointed casually to the alley Gussin had drilled into,

"I saw him, he left from there."

The law enforcers stared at Lu Mian for two seconds and continued to chase Gussin.

Lu Mian raised his right hand, rubbed his chin, and muttered to himself silently,

"Gussin noticed the arrival of the law enforcers a while in advance? And I didn't..."

"Is this why he can organize multiple riots without being caught?"

"Ability, item, or special pollution derived from '0-01'?"

Lu Mian didn't stay in this small square anymore, bid farewell to Vijepan's corpse, and continued to walk toward the place where the head of the "Abscessed Hand" might be hidden.

After turning into another street, he suddenly had a premonition and cast his gaze toward the edge of this city of Morora.

The earth shook violently, and soil and rubble crowded and surged upward, swallowing several buildings and forming a "mountain peak" only more than ten meters high.

At the top of the mountain peak, thick dust mixed with smoke erupted, and red magma rolled and flowed, emitting heat, which Lu Mian, who was in the center of the city, could clearly feel.

At the same time, the screams of humans in that direction echoed from afar.

"Volcanic eruption?" Lu Mian was stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that the volcanic eruption described in the "0-01" seal data originated from the surrounding mountains. Who knew it would also appear in the city, on flat ground!

After a few seconds, smoke and dust obscured the sky, returning Morora to gray darkness.

The passing pedestrians had no extra reaction to this, just covering their noses with their hands to block the erosion of dust.

To them, this seemed to be just a rainstorm.

Lu Mian looked and shook his head,

In such a living environment, Gussin and those people didn't even think about escaping, only planning to overthrow the rule of the Church of Knowledge and replace it. It can only be said that it is worthy of being the "0" level sealed item with the earliest number...

Lu Mian, who restarts at 6:00 every morning, was not afraid of those dusts and took his steps again.

He passed through the current street and arrived at a square with multiple obelisks. In the dust-filled environment, he leaned toward the predetermined direction along the buildings one by one around the square.

Suddenly, he felt a resonance, a resonance from a special power on his body.

Lu Mian turned his body sharply and looked at the classical building made of gray-white giant stones next to him.

A huge sign hung on the top of the building, with several words written in Lenburgian:

"Dades Agricultural Company"

The two glass windows directly below the sign were suddenly pushed open, revealing a figure.

In the cold winter, the figure was still wearing only a white thin shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned, his hair seemed to be stained with blood, his eyes were iron-black, his face was distinct, and his age could not be seen, but he was extremely sharp.

Without introduction, Lu Mian had initially confirmed the identity of this figure from the sign of the Dades Agricultural Company and the resonance of the aura:

The most dangerous criminal in Morora, the former experimental person Vanack!

"Was the resonance of the aura just now derived from the direct pollution of '0-01'?"

"Did the aggregation law make us meet like this?"

"Is the reason why Vanack was able to leave the status of experimental person and return to the state of a normal human being because he completely surrendered to '0-01'?"

"Is he now equivalent to the agent of '0-01' in Morora?"

"Although this sealed item has no wisdom, it is still instinctively looking for opportunities to break free from the seal?"

As thoughts raced through Lu Mian's mind, the man suspected to be Vanack suddenly turned into a scorching white and green flame spear, flying over with a destructive and fierce posture.

Lu Mian's figure disappeared instantly and did not appear again.

He directly "Teleported" closer to the place where the head of the "Abscessed Hand" was hidden, and the mocking voice of the man suspected to be Vanack echoed in his ears:

"Coward!

"Chicken!"

Lu Mian "heh"ed and didn't turn back to have a big battle with that man.

Let's collect the corpse of the "Abscessed Hand" first!

He was worried that the fierce battle would cause accidents, making him come into contact with "0-01" before finding all the corpse pieces of the "Abscessed Hand," which would make the subsequent development completely uncontrollable.

Moreover, the momentum shown by the man suspected to be Vanack and the flame spear he turned into made Lu Mian feel that he might have a bit of divinity, and even if he wasn't a real Sequence 4, he was essentially different from a Sequence 5 Beyonder.

Demigods cannot get close to "0-01," but the fake demigods created by "0-01" itself might not be in this category!

Lu Mian cast his gaze forward and found that he had actually arrived in the boundless cemetery behind the Church of Knowledge, with tombstones on the left and right, and trees in front and back.

"Uh..." Lu Mian was stunned for a moment, then felt that this seemed very reasonable.

The half-piece of the rotten corpse of the "Abscessed Hand" was obtained by the bar owner who worked part-time as a "chef," making the best use of everything, which was actually an exception. For normal people, even serious criminals, after encountering a rotten corpse divided into multiple pieces, the first choice should be to find law enforcers to clean up the scene, and the corpses taken away by law enforcers would inevitably be buried in this cemetery as part of the seal.

Of course, this is just a deduction based on normal circumstances, and those who love corpses are not included in the discussion.

Lu Mian walked forward, leaning toward the source of the subtle connection.

During this process, he remembered one thing:

"Madam 'Magician' said that once the body of the 'Abscessed Hand' is gathered, some dangerous things will happen. It is best to complete this step in the 'City of Exiles' and use the existence of '0-01' to hedge against the corresponding risks..."

If I get brother Abscessed Hand's head later, does it count as gathered?

Will dangerous things happen then?

How about waiting a bit longer? Wait until encountering dangerous and difficult-to-handle things, then "Teleport" over, let brother Abscess

I can't be the only one facing the danger brought by Brother Severed-Hand; one must know how to share...

Also, the hidden meaning in Madam Magician's words is, can Brother Severed-Hand use the changes brought about by the reunion of his own body to break through the seal and enter Morora?

Otherwise, how could it be called "collecting them all"...

Normally, one can't even summon a messenger, and the same goes for contracted creatures...

This might help me escape Morora...

As Lu Mian's thoughts swirled, he stopped in front of a pit that had been filled in not long ago, where not even a tombstone had been erected.

His contract mark told him that a part of the "Abscessed Severed-Hand" corpse was right inside this pit.

Looking at the unusually fresh traces on the surface of the pit, Lu Mian's heart tightened. He squatted down, stretched out his hands, and began a directional excavation.

Amidst the muffled, rumbling sound of an explosion, he flipped away a large amount of soil and dug out a black wooden box from the bottom of the pit.

Opening the box, what met Lu Mian's eyes was a highly decomposed, blue-black, swollen ear and a folded piece of white paper.

Lu Mian unfolded the white paper and saw it written in Intis:

"You really did want this rotten head.

"But unfortunately, before going to the 'Carnivore' bar, I had already obtained it and hidden it away.

"Perhaps, you could beg me.

"Albus Medici."
