“What were you guys doing when we were trapped inside? You were making sarcastic remarks!”
“That’s why I’ve always hated the Federation.”
“If we don’t open the emergency passage, we’ll have to die inside. Other than the Federation, other people’s lives are worthless, right?”
In fact, Instructor Pu Shi had always had a sour face. The player’s favorability rating towards Instructor Pu Shi had always been very low, but this time, Instructor Pu Shi had risked his life to become a lich to save them from the fallen corridor.
Moreover, in comparison, the various actions of the central Federation were even more disgusting.
When the players saw this, they all raised the Books of the Dead.
Most of the players in the necromancy faction were Buddhists. However, after experiencing so many things in the fallen corridor just now, it was very rare for everyone to have a common enemy.
If worst came to worst, they would just start fighting! Who was afraid of who!!
Seeing that the players were agitated, the central Federation members behind Xi Yongzhi were also a little nervous. They raised their weapons and were on alert.
“We have no intention of causing a dispute. Everyone, please calm down.” Xi Yongzhi took half a step forward and tried to stabilize the situation, “Not long ago, the Federation received information from an unknown source. Pu Shi is related to the anti-federation forces, Night Owl. The purpose of destroying the fallen corridor is to seize the Shrine of Bones. Everyone, please believe in the Federation.”
“We are only conducting a routine investigation. We will not make things difficult for Mr. Pu Shi. We will announce the results of our investigation to the public.”
With just a few words, Pu Shi had already realized the problem.
The Shrine of Bones!
As Xi Yongzhi spoke, he once again focused his gaze on Pu Shi and asked in a deep voice, “Pu Shi, you have the Shrine of Bones, right?”
“So you are looking for this.”
As Pu Shi spoke, he flipped his hand and took out the Shrine of Bones that he had obtained in the central hall.
The moment Xi Yongzhi saw the shrine, his eyes lit up and he could not suppress his excitement.
This was it!
It was the special item that the twelve corporations had been searching for! It was right in front of him!
“Right.”
Pu Shi sensed the greed in Xi Yongzhi’s eyes and lightly exerted force with his right hand.
“Bang!!”
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the shrine instantly exploded in Pu Shi’s hand!
The Shrine of Bones exploded into a cloud of dust.
Xi Yongzhi’s pupils constricted and anger rose in his heart. He stared at Pu Shi and said, “What! Pu Shi, you know what you’re doing…”
“It’s fake.”
Xi Yongzhi frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
“The Shrine of Bones in the central region is fake. When I found it, it had already been replaced by someone else.” Pu Shi shook his head and replied indifferently, “That’s fine. I also want to know what happened in the fallen corridor and who was behind it. If the Federation wants to investigate, I will naturally cooperate. We will go with you personally.”
Xi Yongzhi was a little dazed when he heard Pu Shi’s words.
The Shrine of Bones had been completely blown to pieces, leaving only dust on the ground.
Was it fake?
Impossible! How could the Shrine of Bones be fake?
Did something go wrong in the plan?
The higher-ups of the twelve corporations had already obtained the Shrine of Bones in advance, and they even made a fake one and placed it there?
Or had someone already made a move on the Shrine of Bones before they did?
Or was Pu Shi lying to him?
He raised his head and looked at Qian Yaoyun, the player behind Pu Shi, wanting to confirm with him.
Qian Yaoyun also had a shocked expression on his face.
Fake? How could this be?
“Let’s go. Let’s go to the Necromancer Association.” Pu Shi walked up to Xi Yongzhi and said, “I also suspect that you have something to do with the anti-federation forces. How did you know that we had left the fallen corridor in advance?”
Xi Yongzhi’s expression darkened.
“Pu Shi, what do you mean?”
Pu Shi did not pay any attention to Xi Yongzhi. Instead, he looked at Fang Heng, who was in the other crowd, “Fang Heng, go back and bring back the sacred prayer I gave you two days ago from the temporary camp to your Teacher Dickey. Everyone else, come with me. Let’s go and see if the Federation has any evidence to prove that we are related to the Night Owl organization.”
After saying that, Pu Shi looked at Xi Yongzhi expressionlessly. “We can leave now.”
Xi Yongzhi gritted his teeth. “Alright, let’s go.”
Teacher Pu Shi left with the team of players. In the blink of an eye, only Fang Heng, Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo remained where they were.
Li Shaoqiang’s assets that he had accumulated for many years were all placed on Fang Heng. He thought that the Books of the Dead that he had collected during this period of time were all left in the fallen corridor, and he would stay on to discuss with Fang Heng how he could recover his HP.
Tan Shuo had been following Li Shaoqiang, so he also stayed behind.
Fang Heng also stood in place and did not move.
Looking at the group of people that Teacher Pu Shi left with, Fang Heng felt baffled!
Fang Heng expressed that he did not understand.
What did Teacher Pu Shi mean by asking him to return to the fallen corridor and take the sacred prayer?
That lousy book?
To be honest, Fang Heng was not too sure if there was a so-called sacred prayer in such a huge pile of books.
Moreover, the aura of death was abundant in the fallen corridor. Even if he added 100 Tan Shuo and 1,000 Li Shaoqiang, it wouldn’t be enough to kill!
So, what was Teacher Pu Shi hinting at?
Was he hinting at him to go back to the fallen corridor and take a look?
Fang Heng rubbed his chin.
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo couldn’t figure it out either, but they also felt that something was wrong. They looked at each other and asked, “Boss Fang, are we really going back to take a look?”
“Me too…”
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows as he spoke.
Suddenly, he heard a sizzling sound.
“Sizzling sizzling…”
Fang Heng’s perception was extremely sharp. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
That was…
Fang Heng’s eyes narrowed into slits.
He was surprised to find that the dust on the ground around him was emitting a faint aura of the undead.
The dust left behind by the explosion of the Shrine of Bones?!
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
He was familiar with the fluctuation of this strength, and he was sure that it was related to the Shrine of Bones.
“Hey, Boss Fang, what happened to your hand?”
Li Shaoqiang suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Fang Heng’s right hand. With a strange expression, he walked to Fang Heng’s side and asked in a low voice.
“Hmm?”
Hearing this, Fang Heng could not help but raise his right hand to check.
Only then did he notice that, at some point, the black stripes on his right arm had once again appeared clearly.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
With a raise of his hand, the scattered dust once again showed a weak reaction.
Huh?
Could it be that the fragments of the Shrine of Bones had sensed his hand?!
Fang Heng had a guess in his heart. He tried to raise his right hand and pour his mental strength into it.
“Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi…”
There it was!
Under the influence of the strength of the rune on Fang Heng’s right arm, the dust that was scattered on the ground quickly gathered forward!
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo were surprised to find that countless pieces of dust quickly rose from the ground and gathered in front of Fang Heng’s raised right hand.
Chi Chi Chi!!!
Under the guidance of Fang Heng’s unknown strength, the dust quickly condensed into fragments of the Shrine of Bones!
The fragments of the Shrine of Bones floated in the air and quickly condensed into the original appearance of the Shrine of Bones.
