15: Hundred consecutive draws!

Next, the scene shifted to Su Yi.

Su Yi looked around, finding nothing special here except for a desolate wasteland of ruins.

However, he quickly noticed that ever since he stepped into this area, countless gazes had been locked onto him.

Following these "gazes," Su Yi noticed a miniature camera peeking out from a hidden corner not far away.

Upon closer inspection, Su Yi was surprised to find that this seemingly desolate ruin was actually densely packed with countless similar surveillance devices.

This discovery made Su Yi frown.

Was this place not just a ruin or some other extremely dangerous location?

Could it be that this was actually a training or testing ground specially set up by some official agency?

If it was the latter, then he should proceed with more caution.

Although Su Yi could feel a certain degree of suppression from the environment here, this effect was not severe for him, clad in his yellow robe.

However, what troubled Su Yi even more was that he was completely unable to absorb external energy in this place—even though the sun was clearly in the sky, not even a trace of light energy could be utilized.

It was as if he was completely cut off from all energy sources.

Based on the remaining energy of this clone, it could only last for a maximum of three days.

Once the energy was depleted, the clone would dissipate on its own.

Just as Su Yi was contemplating, a faint rustling sound caught his attention.

Su Yi vigilantly turned his head and saw a blood-red vine with sharp barbs stealthily approaching him…

…

At the same time, on the outskirts of this ruin, an invisible barrier separated the entire area from the outside world.

And deep within this ruin, a laboratory-like place was hidden.

At this moment, the people inside were gathered around screens, intently watching Su Yi, who had just appeared.

"How long do you think this new Evil Spirits can maintain his extraordinary power?"

Someone asked, with a hint of curiosity in their tone.

"Hard to say."

Another person shook their head, "After all, this is just an experimental ground of the Divine Forbidden Land, not a true forbidden area."

"Hmm, but based on past experience, Evil Spirits that can maintain their extraordinary power for more than three days in the Divine Forbidden Land are indeed very rare."

A bespectacled researcher pushed up his glasses, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation, "Moreover, this Evil Spirits seems to possess high intelligence."

Upon hearing this, a researcher next to him suddenly looked up, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes:

"Wait, have you noticed a problem?"

"We’ve been staring at him for so long, but does anyone remember the color of his clothes?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding researchers were all stunned.

Just as a few were about to answer, they suddenly turned their heads and became utterly bewildered.

They tried to recall the color of the Evil Spirits' clothes just now, but when they tried to describe it, they found that their memories seemed to be interfered with by some force.

They opened their mouths, but found that they couldn't accurately say what the color actually was.

It wasn't until they looked back in the direction of the Evil Spirits that they finally remembered Su Yi's colors again.

All of this.

Also made other researchers discover.

"Hiss—!"

Someone gasped, "This Evil Spirits can even affect the outside world from the Divine Forbidden Land? It seems its ability can at least reach S-rank!"

"Wait…"

Another researcher suddenly spoke, with a hint of confusion in his tone, "Look, the A-rank Bloodthirsty Thorns on the screen seem to have locked onto this Evil Spirits."

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the atmosphere in the laboratory instantly became lively.

Although everyone knew very well that the Bloodthirsty Thorns could not possibly be the Evil Spirits' opponent—not only because there was a huge difference in rank between the two.

More importantly, the Bloodthirsty Thorns had been here for half a day, and now it couldn't even exert one-tenth of its strength.

However, the tenacious resistance previously shown by the Bloodthirsty Thorns was still impressive.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!"

Just as everyone was discussing, a burst of curses suddenly erupted in the laboratory.

It turned out that just as the Bloodthirsty Thorns was about to approach the Evil Spirits, it was instantly torn into pieces by an invisible force, the entire process happening so fast that it was dazzling.

"It seems this Evil Spirits' strength needs to be raised by another notch."

A researcher whispered, looking at the screen with complex eyes, "But, was it an active attack, or merely a passive reaction?"

"No, look—that Evil Spirits seems to be looking in our direction!"

Someone exclaimed.

The others looked over upon hearing this and indeed saw Su Yi slowly turning around, staring directly at them from outside the screen.

At the same time, the Old Robe on Su Yi began to undergo strange changes.

The previously static runes seemed to come alive, like a swarm of wriggling insects, moving and flickering on the surface of the robe, emitting an unsettling aura.

"Quick! Turn off the screen!"

Someone shouted in a panic. However, it was too late.

For all the researchers staring at the screen, the scene before their eyes instantly became distorted and eerie:

The familiar laboratory turned into a blood-red world, colleagues transformed into hideous monsters, and the walls and screens became constantly wriggling flesh.

"Ah—!!!"

Screams rose and fell, and fear swept through the entire room like a tide.

At this moment, a researcher suddenly shrieked, his expression as if he had witnessed something extremely terrifying.

He screamed hysterically while frantically retreating, but he clearly didn't know where to escape, and he was filled with confusion and helplessness.

Amidst this chaos, a group of people suddenly surged in from outside the laboratory door.

They quickly took action, directly turning off the screen and taking control of the researchers who were operating it.

…

At this moment—

Su Yi slowly retracted his gaze.

He never liked the feeling of being watched, so he decided to give those peepers a small lesson—of course, this did not include taking lives.

After all, Su Yi also didn't want to make too big a fuss, and what truly worried him was that if he made too much of a fuss, it would implicate his clothes, which would be a headache for him.

With this in mind, Su Yi's gaze once again swept over the thorny plant he had casually killed just now.

"Killed Bloodthirsty Thorns, obtained green 'Bloody Thorns,' blue 'Super Regeneration Vine,' Energy Points +3000!"

Just an insignificant thorn could provide such generous rewards—equivalent to thirty consecutive draws.

Su Yi couldn't help but wonder if this thorn was particularly valuable, or if all the monsters in the entire area had similar high returns?

If it was the latter, then this was undoubtedly an excellent monster-grinding paradise.

At the same time.

Su Yi also recalled that when he activated the Critical Point earlier, he used Quantum Return to clear out a few Evil Spirits that rushed to the front.

The only regret was that the move, though powerful, was fleeting; otherwise, it could have been used to block the monster's spawn points.

In addition, during the monster surge, his clone also actively participated in the battle, slaying a large number of monsters.

Summing up these gains, the total Energy Points had already exceeded ten thousand, which meant Su Yi had enough for a hundred consecutive draws.

Thinking of this, Su Yi's mood instantly became excited.

However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and calmly issued an instruction to the yellow-robed clone within him:

"You stay here for now, don't worry about anything else, but you must protect the clothes on your body."

"Also, take advantage of this opportunity to farm some monsters."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yi's consciousness quickly returned to reality.

…

Linyuan City.

The Lingyi Investigation Bureau headquarters had been reduced to ruins.

The once neat and orderly building was now scarred, and the air was filled with the scent of char and blood.

"Captain… Wang Xuan is dead."

A man with a severed arm endured intense pain and reported to Bai Yinyu, "Except for Leng Yue and me, everyone else is seriously injured and has lost the ability to continue fighting."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yinyu's eyes instantly became bloodshot, his teeth clenched, and his voice revealed suppressed anger:

"Damn bastards!"

At this moment, Bai Yinyu was furious.

He never expected that after teleporting that person away, such a bizarre thing would be left behind.

Recalling those three terrifying monsters, even with Bai Yinyu's experience, he couldn't help but feel a shiver.

These monsters not only possessed astonishing Life force, but once the battle prolonged, they would also cause a huge impact on one's mind, even driving people into madness.

It was this terrible torment that led to Wang Xuan's complete breakdown, ultimately dying insane.

Bai Yinyu looked back at Leng Yue, who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath, and then said:

"You quickly contact the director and tell them to come back."

Leng Yue nodded immediately upon hearing this, then picked up the communication device that was still functioning normally beside him and dialed the number.

And the director's side, upon learning that the Critical Point had been activated, had already set off to stop the monster invasion, fortunately avoiding this wave of crisis.

However, at this moment, Bai Yinyu's heart was filled with unwillingness.

Although he had previously vowed that if the Critical Point opened, he would use the power of Tian Hong, that was just a casual remark.

Bai Yinyu had never truly considered using Tian Hong, after all, this was just an S-rank Critical Point.

To so easily consume a precious Tian Hong authorization made Bai Yinyu feel extremely regretful.

However, this feeling of humiliation was like a lump in his throat, hard to swallow.

More importantly, by observing the three monsters in front of him, Bai Yinyu realized that he had underestimated the opponent's strength.

Clearly, the opponent was not relying on external objects, but truly possessed this strength.

To contend with a Radiant Star upper-level threat, it seemed only Tian Hong could be relied upon; otherwise, it would be impossible to cope.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Yinyu took out a specially made phone and dialed the dedicated line of the Gonggong Department headquarters.

After reporting a complex password, he solemnly said:

"Gonggong Department Third Squad, codename White Feather Squad, requesting activation of the Tian Hong plan."

…

At the same time.

Su Yi's consciousness also completely returned.

He looked up, his gaze fixed on the giant teleportation gate, over ten meters high, in front of him.

A flood-like swarm of monsters continuously poured out from inside the gate, accompanied by continuous roars, appearing incredibly terrifying.

However, these monsters did not cause any substantial harm to Su Yi when they first rushed out—they passed directly through his body and scattered in all directions.

Looking at the monsters frantically fleeing before him, a ripple ran through Su Yi's heart:

If he could kill them all, how many Energy Points would that be!

Unfortunately, he couldn't personally act right now.

The clone was merely a part of his energy that he had separated; although it could resist physical attacks in energy form, its efficiency in killing enemies was too low, almost insignificant compared to the speed at which the monsters appeared.

However, this situation was only temporary.

After a brief thought, Su Yi no longer hesitated and decisively summoned the system interface.

"System, one hundred consecutive draws!"
