After killing them, the atmosphere in the Dungeon became brighter.
However, the group of creatures in front of Sherlock was an eyesore!
Back then, when that middle-aged Martial Immortal was scolding Yanran, those fellows had all stood to the side and watched. None of them had come over to lend a hand. They had only watched calmly.
Sometimes, the indifferent ones were the onlookers!
Compared to the sinners who caused harm to others, Sherlock wouldn't let them off.
Merely, it was exactly as the middle-aged Martial Immortal had said. Yanran truly did not possess the strength to do so. Nor did she possess the qualifications to kill all of the Martial Immortals. At that time, the entire Underground City would truly be unguarded.
This wasn't Yanran's initial plan.
After instructing several people to take care of the surrounding corpses, Yanran prepared to investigate the situation of this place. The sudden death of the middle-aged Martial Immortal at the very last moment still made Yanran feel uneasy. If she were to leave this place right now, she would not be able to feel at ease. She had already killed so many people. Furthermore, Shu Ya had already given her instructions.
If Yanran didn't do her duty, Yanran would look down on herself.
She couldn't start her investigation from the Wu Xian members. She was afraid that Yanran would fabricate a story that the Wu Xian members wouldn't believe to deceive Yanran. However, Yanran couldn't tell what was true and what was false.
Sherlock said to the surrounding Wu Xian members.
"Good, all of you can leave! Protect the Underground City as much as possible. Of course, it's not impossible if you want to level up. The monsters on the plains outside have all been annihilated. The remaining ones are slowly crawling over from the outside. As long as a few of you form a group, you won't have to be afraid of them. I'm going to find a place to sleep. I'm tired after a busy day. "
"Senior, there isn't a suitable place for you in the Dungeon. Why don't you sleep in our Palace? You'll be able to sleep in peace there!"
"No need, no need …" Yanran waved her hand and rejected. If she stayed in the house that they arranged for her, how could Yanran investigate?
She only needed to bribe the surrounding creatures to restrict Yanran's freedom. Yanran didn't want that to happen!
The surrounding Wu Xian members looked at each other when Yanran left. They didn't say anything and left quickly. Instead, they drilled into the ground.
The Dungeon didn't look like what it was on the surface!
…
When they arrived at the underground city, it was almost the same as what Yanran had seen outside. There were people coming and going everywhere. There were some Martial Emperors and some Martial Kings. They lived and rested slowly by the clear spring water flowing down from above.
They ate, drank, and chatted as they looked up at the sky. Although they were underground, they could only see a thick layer of soil. However, the Wu Xian members were really good at this. They'd imprinted the outside world into the soil, making it look exactly the same as the sky outside.
This way of doing things seemed to be narrating something. If one thought about it carefully, wasn't this how the world was?
A group of people control a place and write some programs. No one knows whether this world is illusory or real, but no matter what, it is the world we live in.
On the side of the road, Yanran saw the Paragon and Xue Lingluo slowly making their way towards Yanran. Yanran greeted them, and then froze.
She noticed the strange expression on the Paragon's face. It wasn't the same indifferent expression he used to have when he greeted her. His brows were furrowed, and he looked nervous.
What was going on?
Was there anything in this world that could cause a Paragon to act in such a manner?
It couldn't be, it couldn't be!
Could it be that this thing was still in the Dungeon, in this area?
Yanran was stunned. If this thing exploded, would it destroy this world? Would Little Ling and the others, who were still in some corner of the world, be caught up in it?
No, no, no … she couldn't let that happen.
Absolutely not!
Yanran's expression grew serious.
She took the Paragon by the hand and led him to a nearby inn. It seemed she wanted to get some information.
After handing over some money to the waiter, Yanran pulled the Paragon into a small room. It was a private room.
Yanran didn't care about anything else, and fell asleep on the bed. Xue Lingluo looked on, puzzled.
She could not help but push Yan Ran and said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Yanran, why aren't you talking? Don't scare me with that look on your face! I'm telling you, you're going to help me resurrect Lin Xiao! You can't just sleep here! "
"Shhh!" Yanran covered her mouth with her hand, motioning Xue Lingluo not to say anything.
On the other side of the room, the Paragon's body began to fade away. Slowly, little by little, he disappeared into another dimension.
If one used their spiritual energy to sense the Paragon's presence, they'd find that everything around him had been erased. In Yanran's eyes, the Paragon's body was a mass of garbled code and programming. Zeros and ones flashed in the Paragon's eyes.
Several hours later, the Paragon shook his head helplessly. He had no idea what was going on.
Yanran didn't know what to do.
Her first thought was to get the Paragon to find out what was going on.
Why was there something that made the Paragon feel uneasy? Why was this place different from other places?
The Paragon was the most advanced program in this world. If the Paragon's power was removed, he could destroy an entire world!
All he had to do was connect to the world's Cortex Prime, and everything would be clear.
The only problem was that the Paragon's body wasn't as good as it used to be. She didn't know the specifics.
It made sense. The Paragon's power was like a bug in this world. If he could connect to Cortex Prime it would be a little unfair!
