"What's wrong with you?"
Xin Qin, who was sitting next to him, saw that his expression suddenly changed and asked.
Chen Guang shook his head. "It's nothing."
He didn't tell them about his mission. Telling them about it wouldn't help him and wouldn't make them feel at ease. It would also ruin his noble image as a Grand Magister Wright Chen.
"By the way, Director, I have something to report!"
Wu Miaowan, who was sitting in the back, suddenly raised her hand. She wasn't as close as Xin Qin and Chen Guang, especially now that Chen Guang was acting so mysterious. It made her feel restrained, and her speech became very formal.
As Chen Guang acknowledged, he purposely used a western accent from the 90s and dragged his voice, "Beautiful lady, please speak."
Xin Qin and Lu Fei had goosebumps when they heard it. But then they remembered that he had recovered his "previous life's memory." Although they didn't know what level a Grand Magister was, it sounded like a bluff. In fantasy novels, it would at least be at the level of the upper class. In the real world, it would probably be an international master. It was normal for him to speak in a genteel manner, but it was a little uncomfortable.
Although the previous Chen Guang gave people headaches from time to time, at least it was relaxing to be with him or chat with him. If he were to act like an old man in the future, it would feel really awkward.
Wu Miaowan didn't care about Xin Qin and Lu Fei's thoughts. She threw herself behind the driver's seat and said with a serious expression, "Great Magister Wright, it's like this. Don't think that the monsters you dealt with were weak and easy to deal with. But in my experience, they weren't just these low-level monsters. When we were separated in different vehicles, there was me, my master, Xin Qin's master, and Team Leader Xue Lin. If it was just these low-level monsters, although we couldn't kill them, our master wouldn't have been captured.
"If I remember correctly, most of the monsters on the bus were much more powerful than these ordinary monsters. There were monsters that could harden their bodies into rocks, and there were also monsters that could completely transform into a puddle of mud. They pounced on people and wrapped them up, making it impossible for them to escape. They were like corsets that restricted our movements. This was how Team Leader Xue Lin was subdued. I've also seen a monster transform into a stone sword, which was held in the hands of another stone man. With a swing of the sword, the bus we were on was directly cut in half. "
"Not only that, but unlike those brainless monsters who only knew how to run after me, those guys on the bus could talk, think, and even cooperate with each other when they launched a surprise attack. They also had some very skilled fighting skills. So, my little sweetheart's master … "
Wu Miaowan was on the verge of tears as she spoke.
"Don't be sad. Your master is still alive." Chen Guang comforted.
He was not spouting nonsense. Just now, the Holy Grail had clearly informed him of the identity of the dead hostage. It was an unfortunate former Special Affairs Bureau employee.
"Mr. Wright, how do you know?"
Wu Miaowan rubbed her eyes.
Chen Guang smiled mysteriously. "I'm an Earth Grand Magister in the Douluo World, and I can communicate with the elements. The earth element in Utopia Town is extremely rich, and the earth has a spirit. Do you understand? Listen carefully. The earth is whispering to me. Do you hear it? "
The three girls believed him and listened for a long time.
Of course, they didn't find anything. They shook their heads in confusion.
Chen Guang put on an enigmatic look again. "Sorry, I forgot that you are mortals in the present world. You can't hear the sound of the earth."
"Chief Archmage, you may be powerful, but you must not let your guard down. Those special monsters were really powerful and well-trained. Apart from that, they had a clear division of labor when they launched their surprise attack. It was obvious that they had planned it beforehand. They weren't like the other monsters who chased us relentlessly just because we smelled a living person's aura. They really are very intelligent. Before they made their move, we were completely fooled! "
"I see. I understand now. Thank you for your reminder."
A monster that had human consciousness and had been plotting for a long time?
Chen Guang immediately became vigilant.
Things were a little different from what he had imagined.
At first, when he encountered those mindless zombie-like mutated monsters, he thought that everyone in the Punishment Realm from the real world had become like them.
Although they had strong bodies and the earth element, they had completely lost their consciousness. They acted on instinct like wild beasts.
Now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
At the very least, the combat power that the official members of the World of Destruction displayed in front of Wu Miaowan was much stronger than those zombie-like mutated monsters. According to Wu Miaowan's description, some of the mutated monsters' combat power was comparable to Tremblers and Rippers.
If his deductions were correct, then he could conclude that the official members of the World of Destruction not only retained their own consciousness, but the degree of mutation was also deeper, and the species they formed were also of a higher level.
He just didn't know if this was due to the setting of the Heavenly Holy Grail, or if there was another reason.
Fortunately, he didn't kill the 'monsters' under the wall.
What Chen Guang had used was the 'Universal Anchor' that he had randomly named. He only froze them in place and didn't directly blow them up.
Their lives weren't taken away, but their bodies were forcefully 'frozen' by the hardening ability of the 'Universal Anchor'. When the matter was over, these people would return to their original state.
The reason why he was so merciful was because he had a feeling that if he killed these monsters in the Punishment Realm, these people would be as good as dead.
Even if the Punishment Realm ended, those who died in the Punishment Realm would undoubtedly die in the real world.
If they were all terrorists of the World of Destruction, it would be fine if he killed them. However, the civilians were just innocent people who were dragged into this.
He couldn't live with his conscience if he killed them recklessly.
Combined with Wu Miaowan's information, it further proved that Chen Guang's guess was correct.
Although there were definitely spies of the World of Destruction in Utopia Town, it was impossible for the entire town to have them.
Untrained civilians wouldn't be of much help to the terrorist organization. Instead, it would increase the risk of information being leaked.
Therefore, even if the ambush task force's car was filled with members of the World of Destruction, it could only be concluded that the organization had more members than they had imagined. Moreover, they were extremely powerful in Utopia Town, so much so that they could control the task force's movements without anyone noticing. They could also secretly replace the normal tourists, tour guides, and drivers who were supposed to be in the same car as the World of Destruction.
But no matter what, the majority of the residents in this small town were still innocent.
However, it was a little strange. There was no reason for the people of the World of Destruction to know that they would turn into earth elemental creatures. Weren't they afraid that they would turn from ordinary people into monsters?
Weren't they panicking at all?
The ambush task force's plan must have been set up before the Punishment Realm descended. There was no reason for them to carry out the ambush plan so calmly after turning themselves into monsters, right?
If that was really the case, their mental fortitude was too terrifying. It didn't make sense at all.
Come to think of it, it was indeed a little scary.
"Hey, I say, what are you afraid of?"
While he was letting his imagination run wild, Azure suddenly spoke in his mind.
Chen Guang didn't hide it from her. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the enemy is too strong and our army is too weak. I'm afraid that the Punishment Realm will disappear without a trace. I'm very tired."
"Speak human language!"
"Madam Azure, don't you think it's strange? The World of Destruction is just an assassin organization on Earth. This Punishment Realm is just a parallel world created by the Holy Grail to teach me a lesson. It's not complete yet. It's only a small area around Utopia Town. It can't even be considered a complete world. Why are the people of the World of Destruction so calm after turning into monsters? What fighting techniques? What excellent training? Not only that, they were even able to combine the Earth Elemental superpower with the terrorists' military training? Why did I feel like they were the children of fate in the World of Punishment, while I was the main antagonist? This doesn't make sense! There's no reason for them to know about the existence of the Punishment Realm before me! "
Azure chuckled. "Don't forget about your three main quests."
"Why?"
"Your second main mission requires you to destroy the headquarters of the World of Destruction within 48 hours. What do you mean by destroy? Is destroying a house considered destroying it? Of course not! It's killing everyone! In other words, your second main mission is to wipe out this clown organization called The World Shatterer, leaving no one alive! Therefore, compared to others, the people of the World of Destruction are more involved in your mission. It can even be said that they are second only to you. In fact, they are even more involved than the hostages you need to save. "
"And then?"
Liuli continued, "So, when they were pulled into this punishment realm from the real world, these people became your mission targets. Compared to the people you met in the Sea of Serenity, although their souls are more complete, there's actually not much difference. The world of the Sea of Fleeting, which was constructed out of thin air, has a complete history. People who suddenly appeared from nowhere, such as your Captain Annie, also have their own stories and memories. The people of the World of Destruction are the same. They have also been given complete memories by the Punishment Realm. Now, you can say that you are facing the assassins of the World of Destruction, or you can say that you are the natives of the Douluo World. "
"Huh? Douluo World? What does that mean? "
Chen Guang didn't understand. Wasn't this a name that he made up? Why did Azure use it?
"I know you're spouting nonsense, but this broken world doesn't have a name to begin with. You named it very casually, and since you're the master of the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail accepted your name by default, just like your Marmalade Popper."
"Huh?"
"God said, 'Let there be light.' Then there is light in this world. The world in the cup that exists based on your will and needs will be affected by your thoughts and will change. Although you can't completely control the Holy Grail, you are a God-like existence to every world in the cup. What's so strange about that? What's so incomprehensible about that? You have to understand that the truth of the world created by the Heavenly Holy Grail is actually a part of your will. "
Chen Guang sucked in a breath of cold air. If Azure didn't say it, he really didn't know that he was so powerful.
Thinking about it carefully, he had experienced so many worlds in the cup in the past. Just like what Azure said, every time, it was what he imagined in his mind, what he needed, and what kind of world the Heavenly Holy Grail sent.
The world is me!
I am the world!
My will is the source of the world in the cup!
So I am that powerful?
There's no time to lose. Hurry up. He immediately used his super strong will to imagine in his mind. Please help me change the earth-type monsters of the World of Destruction into plump and skinny beauties of all shapes and sizes, who don't like to wear clothes, and who are very open and bold.
"Please think of something useful! This isn't what you really need! The Heavenly Holy Grail isn't so childish! "
Chen Guang sighed and suddenly understood. "Sigh, okay, okay. Forget it. Then what about Wu Miaowan and Xin Qin? And Xue Lin and the rest shouldn't have been injected with new memories, right? "
"Why do you have so many questions?"
"Didn't you say you were going to help me answer my questions? Isn't this within the scope of my reasonable request? "
"I can't stand you. Don't you think Wu Miaowan's actions are very abnormal? Isn't she too calm? Also, have you ever thought about why she didn't stop your fanatic Xue Lin from leading the team in your name even though she already felt a sense of crisis? Also, Xue Lin used to be a very outstanding soldier in your world, and the other people in your task force are also very outstanding agents. Why didn't they realize that even the passengers and the driver had been replaced? Is it really the people of the World of Destruction who have the same world-class acting skills as you? Isn't this ridiculous? "
Chen Guang suddenly understood. "You mean, other than me, everyone else's thinking has been affected?"
"Yes, it's just a difference of degree. Some people's memories have been tampered with, some have become walking dead, some have become insensitive, and some have their thinking restricted. That's all. "
"This won't cause any side effects to them, right?"
Azure shook her head. "You don't have to worry too much, that won't happen. Let me give you an example. Have you ever held a phone in your hand and looked everywhere for it? That makes you look like a fool. "
"Err, I have."
"By the same logic, Wu Miaowan and the other members of the task force didn't experience too much interference. Their previous state was no different from searching for their phones as I said. It's just that a certain part of their thoughts was blocked."
Chen Guang nodded. "I understand now. The people of the World of Destruction are basically the same as my friends or enemies in the Sea of Future. They have been injected with new memories and a complete worldview. They have become the natives of this world. That's why they were able to use the Earth Elemental ability perfectly from the beginning, right?"
"Yes."
"But the enemy is still very strong!"
"They were originally very strong! But … "
"But what?"
"But kid, can't you have some self-awareness? Do you know how much of a bargain you've picked up? My dear Earth Espresso, Chen Guang! "
Damn, I thought that no one would notice the three words' Soy Sauce Popper ', but it turned out that someone had already heard it.
"I can't stand you. In any case, save your strength. Don't use too much force and kill your hostage. As for the rest, good luck. You have to understand that you, a Great Earth Flamethrower, have surpassed the Great Earth Chaotic Ones in terms of level. You might even surpass God Emperors! "
With that, Liuli went silent.
Chen Guang, on the other hand, was filled with disbelief. Lord Sauce Explosion was of a higher level than the God Emperor?
Why am I so cool?
What am I afraid of?
If God obstructs us, we'll kill God. If Buddha obstructs us, we'll kill Buddha.
Chen Guang had been bitten once, twice shy. The process of entering the Punishment Realm had been too thrilling and exciting, which made him think that this world would be even more dangerous. Moreover, Wu Miao Wan had repeatedly emphasized the strength of their opponents.
But now, his confidence had soared to the sky.
