Chapter 49 The Age of Monsters

Night Watch Headquarters.

Benjamin arranged a temporary resting room for Sean. Investigators generally do not live nearby, they wander around every corner of Dorne City.

"You should have a good rest first."

Before closing the door, Benjamin said, "Headquarters has called back the Death Patrol. There may be more action tonight."

Sean didn't know how many Death Patrolmen there were in Dorne.

But today he saw at least six of them, all of them were high-level transcendents, very powerful, and even mythical creatures were easily suppressed by them. The abilities of the others were too strange to be identified, but Jason Tangel, after he transformed, was almost like a smaller version of the Hulk in Sean's eyes.

The room is not big, but it has all the daily necessities.

Xiao En sat on the bed and couldn't help but sigh: "In this weird country, without strength, there is really no sense of security."

A high-sequence polluter of the mental pathway turned the entire city of Dorne upside down.

Maintaining order is much more difficult than creating chaos.

"Hopefully we can catch that guy."

Xiao En poured himself a glass of water and prepared to meditate to digest the knowledge he had previously memorized.

If a high-level transcendent with telepathic ability really escapes, it will be difficult to catch him again. Moreover, this ability is like cheating in the real world, and there are slaves everywhere that he can control.

Knowledge whispers.

Ever since coming into contact with Seal No. 1, the knowledge in Sean's brain has become more active.

There are advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that Sean's speed of digesting knowledge and supernatural essence has become faster, but the bad thing is that he is about to hear the "knowledge speak".

——Auditory hallucination.

This was a sign that mental pollution had accumulated to a certain degree. Xiao En suspected that when he came into contact with Sealed Object No. 1, his mental madness became a little more serious.

"If this goes well, I'll have to arrange a vacation in advance." Xiao En said to himself.

Investigators have a code of conduct.

That is, once the signs of "auditory hallucination" appear, you should start to rest immediately and stop all work to avoid falling into a state of madness.

Mild mental pollution can recover on its own, but once you become truly insane, no adjustments will be of any use and it will be difficult to recover.

This is the mental threshold of a warning line.

soon.

The knowledge flowing in Sean's brain began to become active. He opened his memory and looked through the contents that he had forced himself to memorize in the maze library, preparing to digest them bit by bit.

According to the current progress, he will be able to completely digest the first stage of the extraordinary essence about a month earlier.

——The promotion sequence of extraordinary people.

The many career paths of the extraordinary people are all for the convenience of human cognition. Strictly speaking, these career systems of the old era no longer exist.

Human superhumans have always used the powers of monsters.

Their promotion sequence is also the monster's promotion sequence.

Many professional systems are the embodiment of strange powers, and the sequence fields they can access are also closely related to the monster relics obtained from the source.

For the extraordinary people on the warrior side, the basic sequence is basically rage and courage.

If promotion means destruction, killing, tyranny, etc., if the extraordinary person cannot control the power, he is very likely to lose control.

Sequence is a lower-level concept corresponding to the world. It may be a natural law, a certain emotion, or even a strange supernatural phenomenon, etc. They are certain concepts existing in the weird kingdom, condensed into corresponding domain laws.

But they are not human!

When extraordinary people are promoted, they will also integrate the corresponding laws into their bodies. Fury will become violent, courage will become reckless, and when it reaches the limit, it will become a kind of courageous destruction and slaughter. The source of power of all sequences points to the distorted conceptual laws.

Only by embarking on the path of destiny can all this be corrected.

Because only by being promoted to the Legend of Destiny can they turn the original laws originating from the ancient and indescribable origin into their own laws of power.

And if the promotion fails, a polluted upgrader may be born.

The situation is similar for other career path sequence areas.

Daisy is a wild sequence. After her transformation, she is basically dominated by primitive beasts. Before she embarks on the road of destiny to visit the natural path, her power is displayed in a primitive, brutal and twisted wildness. The source of this twisted primitive wildness is the natural evil creatures in the grotesque country.

Xiao En is currently more inclined towards the knowledge side, so everyone knows what the mysterious knowledge in his mind is like now.

And he had just been promoted not long ago and had not yet become a high-level spellcaster.

All conceptual fields of this world have been distorted into a promotion sequence for monstrous creatures. This monster's promotion sequence also affects human extraordinary people, because human extraordinary people do not have their own promotion system, and the source of their power is stolen.

They use the monster promotion system!
"We are all thieves!"

Evil creatures bred by rage are bound to be violent, and warriors who digest their extraordinary essence will also be contaminated.

Human extraordinary people have always used the power of monsters. Only after being promoted to the Legend of Destiny can they reverse everything and possess their own power.

If the sequence is corrected, it will be the extraordinary realm of the old times.

So in the eyes of monsters, human extraordinary people are also humanoid monsters.

Evil creatures can also embark on the path of myth. When they are promoted to the Old Ones, they will become the embodiment of the corresponding conceptual laws.

But before that, they need to gather all the conceptual fields contained in the mythological path. The best way is to devour beings of the same and similar sequences. Extraordinary people are also on the menu.

But there are not only humans on the mythological road, there are also countless powerful evil creatures and indescribable old days. Whoever the laws of the world ultimately favor, the weird kingdom will belong to that person's destiny!

Currently, humans only have the path of death to suppress the weirdness, so death in the weird kingdom is normal.

Even evil creatures must obey the laws of death as understood by humans.

"If the monster is killed, it will die."

"If death is not recaptured, the monsters will not necessarily die if they are killed, because the definition of death is determined by them. The twisted death is the undead wandering soul of the Dark Age."

Every time Xiao En saw this knowledge, he felt an inexplicable despair.

"The most terrifying thing about the weird kingdom is not the strange monsters, but the destiny that has taken away mankind in the past!" He slowly opened his eyes.

Destiny legend.

Only by being promoted to a legendary figure of destiny can one have a certain ability to protect oneself in this bizarre world.

"Humans have always used the power of monsters and the promotion sequence of monsters. No wonder the extraordinary people are out of control..."

"The distorted law is the order, and the normal law is the domain."

Xiao En stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He slowly took off his mask and found that at some point, an obscure purple light had appeared on his body, and mysterious runes of knowledge could be seen looming.

They are whispering.

This is a road to the summit with no turning back.

Anyone who is promoted to a transcendent is equivalent to becoming a member of the monster and entering the monster's promotion sequence. You can escape reality and stay where you are, but there is no way to turn back.

The extraordinary people who march forward courageously towards their destiny as legends will one day embark on the mythical path and compete with the indescribable Old Ones for the fundamental laws of the world!

Who's winning.

This world is the era of destiny for someone!

Knowledge, nature, life, desire, etc. Humans have only taken back the destiny of death, so in the weird kingdom, the laws that produce these concepts are distorted. This is the root cause of the extraordinary people losing control.

"If that's the case, when the extraordinary lose control, in the eyes of the monsters, it's actually returning to nature, conforming to the laws of the world, and completely becoming the same kind as them."

Xiao En couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

A warrior's bravery and fearlessness is abnormal; the rage and brutality born of courage is normal.

Because this is more in line with the current rules of the weird country.

The extraordinary people are all going against the will of heaven, because the great laws of the weird kingdom are completely distorted. If you are not out of control, it is abnormal in the eyes of the world. Only when you are out of control and crazy, you conform to the fundamental laws of the world.

“Tempting the edge of madness, but not going crazy.”

Xiao En raised his hand gently.

The flowing mysterious knowledge returned to his brain, and behind him there was only an obscure purple light.

After he digested the last bit of extraordinary essence, he had to choose his own sequence path, which could be understood as the first conceptual field to be visited. This would greatly enhance his strength, but the madness that followed would also be more dangerous.

Compared to other professions, the wizard path has the most promotion sequences.

One o'clock.

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard from somewhere in the direction of Dorne City. Sean was instantly awakened and put on his coat and walked out of the door.

In the distance you can see flames rising into the sky.

"What happened?" Sean grabbed a night watchman who was in a hurry.

The night watchman shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Perhaps the Death Patrolman engaged the enemy."

The explosion site was probably several kilometers away from here. Sean was not sure what had happened and could only wait for news here.

After half an hour.

Xiao En saw Jason Tangle and the others who had returned. He was seriously injured, with most of his body burnt, but he was not dead. His flesh and blood were regenerating with some strange vitality. The doctor next to him just took a look and said seriously: "Send him to the operating room immediately!"

Benjamin also appeared in the back, and he said to the others, "Mobilize the night watchmen to seal off the scene."

"No ordinary people are allowed to approach."

He looked up and saw Xiao En not far away, and nodded slightly, meaning that the polluter had been dealt with.

ten minutes later.

A night watchman brought back a special body bag. The moment it was opened, a strange humanoid creature appeared in front of everyone. Its whole body was covered with some kind of sticky mucus. Its body was not much different from a normal human, but its limbs were relatively soft, as if it had no bones. Its facial features were those of a cold middle-aged man with a bald head, similar to the illusion that Sean had seen. The most eye-catching feature was its lower jaw. From both sides of the lower jaw, extended two thick black tentacles, about 30 centimeters long.

"Strange bloodline?" Xiao En frowned.

The polluter is indeed dead.

Under the siege of many Death Pilgrims, its body was riddled with holes, and only its head was relatively intact.

But for some reason, Xiao En still felt a little uneasy.

The sky is bright.

When Sean left the Night Watch headquarters and returned to his apartment to rest, he heard the voice of a newspaper boy hawking his wares on the street.

"Big news! Big news!"

"A huge explosion occurred at the Tevez gas plant! ... 9 dead and 11 injured! ... The police investigation found that it was caused by the workers' operating error! ..."

"A brutal murder occurred in the old city of Dongmen!..."

"The murderer is a perverted murderer who used the corpse to perform a cult ritual..."

Xiao En waved his hand, and the newsboy not far away came running over.

"Sir, would you like a newspaper? It's full of big news today!..." The reporter, who was about twelve or thirteen years old, said breathlessly.

Xiao En reached out and took out his wallet and asked, "How much?"

The newsboy took out a newspaper and said, "2 Seth."

Xiao En took out two coins and handed them to the other party. He spread out the newspaper and immediately saw a shocking row of large characters on the front page. It was the news from the old city of Dongmen yesterday, but the content was about a perverted murderer obsessed with a cult who had been shot dead by the police.

The second version was about a huge explosion at the Tevez gas plant. It was said that the damage was considerable, as half of the plant was destroyed and even the streets were affected. The photo showed a destroyed wall beside the street and rubble all over the ground.

Newspaper sales are particularly good today, and busy newsboys are running breathlessly in the streets and alleys.

Pedestrians along the way were also discussing today's news.

"Is the logistics department moving so fast?"

Xiao En read the newspaper in his hand. Probably in order to cover up the huge explosion that happened last night, the news had been arranged overnight.

Perhaps because of the murderer incident in the old city of Dongmen, pedestrians on the road seemed worried and in a hurry.

The number of patrolling police officers has also increased several times today to reassure the public.

"The city of Dorne will probably enter a period of alert next."

Xiao En rolled up the newspaper and tucked it under his arm, saving it for when he went back to use the toilet. This era also had its inconveniences, and if he lived in accordance with modern life, daily expenses were indeed a bit high.

"One meat burrito, no ketchup, please."

Xiao En saw a small shop at the corner. There were other customers lined up at the door, probably employees from nearby.

There is a long queue, so the food should taste good.

"How much."

"1 dinars."

He also went up to ask for a meat burrito, which the waiter handed to him wrapped in paper. It tasted pretty good, a bit like a Mexican burrito, with chopped onions, lettuce leaves, grilled meat, etc. The price was about 3 ses more expensive than other places, but this place is close to the city commercial street, so it is normal to be a little more expensive.

Building 3, 12B.

Xiao En opened the door, took off his coat, put the newspaper on the dining table, made himself a cup of black tea, walked to the balcony and looked at the large pendulum clock in the distance.

He didn't sleep well last night, so he planned to catch up on some sleep.

There was a sound of horse hooves from the street below. When Xiao En looked down, he saw a rather luxurious black carriage pulled by two black horses. Next to the coachman sat a polite old man in his fifties, dressed a bit like a butler. Two other carriages followed from the corner behind, all loaded with heavy gifts, and it was obvious that they were from wealthy families.

The carriage turned directly towards the villa area in front.

Because the city of Dorne was planning to build some new tram tracks, carriages were not allowed to pass through the road there. They turned a small corner and entered the rich villa area diagonally opposite the apartment area.

Xiao En yawned, took off his vest, and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

………………

　Why did we wait until the second volume to start talking about the sequence? Because the explanation in the previous part was too complicated.

　　I hope to reveal the nature of the weird country bit by bit.

　　The transcendents of humanity are thieves.

　　What is stolen is the source of the monsters' power, and what is stolen is their path to promotion.

　　That is why the legend of human destiny is so important.
