Han Dong did not seem to be pressured as he placed his palm on the cross.
From the outside, nothing seemed to have happened. The two assistant ministers were also stunned … Just being able to touch the cross without being affected was already incredible.
However.
From Han Dong's perspective, he could see that something bad was happening.
A series of system notifications sounded in his mind.
It was as if the cross could be used as a signal receiver to protect the connection with the Fate System before the world completely went out of control.
[You have two important messages, please check immediately.]
1. The current area is a "Forbidden Zone", please leave quickly and report the situation here to the [Black Tower]. This information report will give you an additional reward in addition to the basic reward.
2. Battle Mission (Optional)
If you have a certain amount of confidence in your strength and hold a 'node' or 'share' in another world, you can choose to accept [Battle Mission – Lock of Fate].
Mission Requirement: Eliminate all zombies in the current area and at the same time, inject 'World Energy' into the chain to repair it.
The 'World Energy' consumed will be fully reimbursed when returning to the Black Tower.
At the same time, if the repair value is above 20%, you will also receive the honor of the Black Tower (Honor Points are closely related to the employee's promotion and cannot be obtained through regular missions).
"Quite generous … However, I have already promised someone in advance, going back on my words is not a good thing."
That was what he said.
But in Han Dong's eyes, the reward given by the system was not enough to change his position.
Once Han Dong succeeded in what he wanted to do, he would obtain the shares of the world from the Tomb Lord and the 'favor' of an executive of the Black Tower.
This was not something that could be exchanged with honor points.
"Togu, can you deal with this' chain 'that is derived from the rules of the world?"
"I can't do it alone.
However, I can use my affinity with the 'chain' to find and touch the source of the chain.
The best way is for master to use your authority and use the World Energy to move it. "
"Well, if that's the case, it should work.
But the specific control is another matter … "
"Master, do you want to do it now?"
"No hurry, I still have to confirm with the Tomb Lord.
If he's not ready yet, we'll just pull it out. There's a high chance that the connection will fail, and the world's rules will use the gap to bind the corpse country in another way.
At that time, the rules will become another method of restraint that is not beneficial for us to break, and it will be very difficult at that time. "
"Alright."
After pondering for a while, Han Dong made another decision.
"Togu! Why don't you stay here and establish a connection with the Chains of Law … Since we're going to do something so troublesome, we need to get all the benefits and make the best use of everything.
He felt that it was a pity to just remove the chains.
Stay here and familiarize yourself with the nature of the chains. When we pull them out, try and see if you can fuse them into your body. "
"I won't disappoint you, Master."
Togo González was the most reliable person in Faceless Prison … It was also because of this that Han Dong made such a dangerous decision.
To be exact, the townsfolk of Dry Town were very reliable. After all, they were all special talents selected by the mayor.
[Servant] has a retractable range of 10 meters.
There was a slight sound of iron chains clashing.
Togu's body had already appeared in the shadow of the cross, just out of the sight of the two assistant ministers.
Han Dong, on the other hand, looked relaxed as if he had finished his task and left the area of the cross.
"How's the situation?"
Assistant Minister Yan asked anxiously as he wiped off the corpse oil on his body with a handkerchief.
Assistant Minister Chang, who was in charge of the underground fortifications, also looked anxious. He was eager to hear Han Dong's answer.
"If there are no accidents, I should be able to help you quickly remove the chains … Before that, I still have to meet the Tomb Lord."
"Really? How do you do it? "Assistant Minister Chang's six eyes were wide open. He was eager to know the answer.
"As for how to do it, you'll know when the time comes. It's not convenient to reveal it now.
Also, please keep this a secret, Sir Assistant Minister.
If someone comes looking for you tonight and asks why Assistant Minister Yan and I are here, just say that we're here to take samples … Also, give us two corpses that have been corroded by the chains and bring them back together. "
Han Dong held the Death Jade in his hand to express his attitude.
"Alright … I'll cooperate fully."
Assistant Minister Chang led the way.
Han Dong was brought to a place that was thousands of meters away. It was a place that was specially dug to store the corpses of locksmiths.
These zombies that had died from the backlash of the rules could not be destroyed. They could only be buried in a secret area.
When he pushed open the giant metal door of the quarantine area that was more than ten meters tall, the scene in front of him made Han Dong's heart tremble.
Most of the so-called 'corpses' were not completely dead.
When the rate of corrosion reached 50%, there would be serious problems with their mobility … Once they were determined to be unable to work as locksmiths, they would be thrown here.
The scale of the quarantine area was probably the sum of more than ten large workshops. There were tens of thousands of corpses piled up here, perhaps even more.
Han Dong's brows furrowed tightly as he stared at the Zombies, whose bodies were covered in chains and twitching in pain. He felt very uncomfortable.
"Since they're useless, why don't we just kill them … This method is comparable to torture."
Assistant Minister Chang looked helpless. "It's not that we don't want to do it, but we can't.
Most of the bodies that have been deeply corroded have been replaced by chains. It's very difficult to kill them … Even I have to put in a lot of effort to kill one of them.
When the chains are removed, let me deal with these zombies. "
…
On the return journey.
Because of today's incredible experience.
The famous Assistant Minister of the Secret Ministry, Yan Bowen, also looked like he was about to turn into a follower. During the return journey, he walked behind Han Dong many times.
"Are we going directly to Taiji Palace to meet the emperor?" Assistant Minister Yan's words contained a hint of urgency.
"It's getting late. Let's wait for a night before going … There might be people secretly investigating our movements. They might even talk to the officials we've interacted with. Let's give them some time."
"Who would be able to trace it back to us?"
Assistant Minister Yan looked unhappy. He had wanted to ask this question when he was underground … He was the Assistant Minister of the Secret Ministry, a second-grade official. Who would dare to investigate his movements?
"It might be someone with a higher rank than you.
Anyway, give them some time. If they really investigate us … there's a high chance that this group of people will meet the emperor with us tomorrow. "
"What's the purpose of this group of people? You have the Death Jade. Can't you just talk to them? "
"The reason I called Assistant Minister Yan is to use the Secret Ministry as a cover to hide the fact that I have the Death Jade. I can't let them know that I have this layer of relationship … Otherwise, it'll be difficult to uproot them."
"There are traitors in the palace?!"
"We'll know tomorrow … Go back and sleep peacefully."
