Chapter 2943: A Suspicious inheritance

“We found the world coordinates of the Ancient Humans’ settlement, but just relying on a single virtual spatial point couldn’t complete the transfer. We tried it, and this coordinate point is not a normal one. It was decoded through some special encoding.”

“Recently, our undercover agent in the Western region’s Star Map Project discovered that the coordinate point is actually part of the spawn network’s Star Map coordinates.”

Fang Heng thought for a moment and said, “Our world hasn’t yet appeared in the spawn network’s Star Map coordinates, but it’s already been located by the spawn network. This means they have likely already entered the spawn network’s line of sight and may have been detected.”

“Yes, we don’t know the specific situation there yet.”

Su Guantong nodded and said, “But the inheritance is very important to us, and we must try. In order to reach that world smoothly, the Eastern Federation needs to access the spawn network’s internal Star Map information and decoding data. The undercover agent has managed to replicate a copy, but her mission is special, and her living environment is completely isolated. My task is to meet her, retrieve the Star Map’s related intelligence.”

Fang Heng asked, “So what do you need me to do?”

“Due to the outbreak of the Seed of Ouroboros, the entire Star Map Control Center is on level-one alert. Communication with my superiors has been cut off. They had informed me that if I encountered any problems, I could ask for your help.”

“Our current mission is to find undercover agent Dr. Li Zixuan and complete the information exchange with her. As for the reward, you don’t need to worry. I have authorization, and you can make requests. We will do our best to fulfill them.”

Fang Heng quickly considered the past cooperation between them, the gains and losses, and the difficulty of the mission.

Even though he wasn’t particularly interested in the so-called truth of the game, this mission seemed too simple.

It was an easy task.

“I understand. As for the reward, we’ll talk about it later. So I need to go over and take over the exchange for you, right? Where is she?”

“I’ve learned that she is currently in a Black Fog crystal core world, controlled by the Western District Federation, a ‘semi-game world’. Dr. Li Zixuan is the supervisor of the research department’s project team.”

“Hmm?”

Fang Heng was slightly surprised at first, but then thought carefully. Suddenly, he realized that a Black Fog crystal core world was indeed a good place for closed research.

The entrances and exits were each guarded by the military, and no one could easily enter or leave.

Moreover, the undercover agent had managed to infiltrate the project team as a supervisor, which was quite impressive.

“Is there a world number?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, I’ll go. I’ll handle it.”

“Thank you,” Su Guantong said, relieved upon hearing that Fang Heng had accepted the mission. She handed Fang Heng the ornament hanging around her neck. “Dr. Li Zixuan may not be aware of your identity, but this imprint will help her understand.”

Fang Heng took the ornament that Su Guantong tossed to him, weighed it in his hand, and then tossed it back. “No need. You and she can discuss it in person. In a while, you’ll be able to see her.”

“Eh?”

Su Guantong stared at Fang Heng’s retreating figure, a little surprised.

Li Zixuan was strictly protected by the Western District Federation. It wasn’t easy for anyone, even Fang Heng, to meet her.

Had Fang Heng gained so much control over the Western District Federation by now?

After leaving the room, Fang Heng headed directly to the Star Map Control Center’s underground domain.

Due to his investigation of the Ouroboros incident, he had the qualification to enter the lower Black Fog core sealed-off area.

After passing the external routine inspection, Fang Heng successfully returned to the Black Fog Core area.

Two Federation teams were still stationed in the hall. When they saw Fang Heng, they gave him a puzzled look.

Everyone thought it was a bit strange.

The Seed of Ouroboros theft domain had been concluded, and the prism of Emery’s escape game world had been completely shattered, making it impossible to enter or exit. The Federation had shifted its attention to the frontlines.

Why was Fang Heng here now?

However, since Fang Heng had privileges, the North District Federation didn’t stop him and allowed him to enter one of the Black Fog crystal prism worlds.

Soon, Fang Heng entered the Black Fog crystal prism game world.

The teleportation exit led directly to the research institute’s teleportation hall.

A few Federation personnel saw the anomaly and immediately approached, directing their gaze towards Fang Heng.

The Federation military’s head of security recognized Fang Heng and, accompanied by two soldiers, walked over and asked, “Mr. Fang Heng, this is the Federation’s secret laboratory domain. I’m Colonel Jared, head of security. How can we assist you?”

Fang Heng glanced at the laboratory entrance and asked, “Where’s the laboratory director?”

“The director, Mr. Lin, is conducting a closed experiment. It may take a while before you can meet him…”

“Forget it,” Fang Heng raised his hand. “I need a list of all the staff members in your laboratory.”

“I need to confirm the purpose.”

“I’m here to check on the Seed of Ouroboros-related incident. This is authorized by the Western District Federation. I need to take a look at the list.”

“Understood.”

Soon, the personnel list was handed to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng quickly scanned the list and found Li Zixuan’s name. He quickly memorized the names of other researchers in his mind.

In the real world, after unlocking everything, his temporary memory capacity reached an extraordinary level.

“Alright, that’s all.”

After completing the memorization, Fang Heng handed the list back and retraced his steps through the teleportation passage, leaving the bewildered Federation soldiers behind.

“This…”

The soldiers exchanged glances.

Colonel Jared coldly said, “Record this in the log and report it to the superiors.”

“Yes!”

…

The next day.

Western District Federation high-level video conference.

Late last night, the Seed of Ouroboros insect nest polymer had been completely destroyed, and the threat to humanity was temporarily alleviated.

However, the vice president of the Western District Federation, Jasper, didn’t look happy.

They had won.

But it felt like they hadn’t.

Emery was missing, along with all the materials, cocoons, queen bugs, and the key to the ship that he had stolen from the Western District Federation.

Even after thoroughly searching the battlefield after breaking the Ouroboros nest, no traces of cocoons were found.

The Western District Federation had suffered heavy losses.

“Charlene is also missing…” Jasper muttered after hearing the latest report.

It was expected.

When they first contacted Black Castle and invited Charlene to help the Western District Federation as a condition for unlocking her mental strength, the Federation had taken a delay strategy, controlling Charlene to extract more benefits from her.

Though they hadn’t openly fallen out, their cooperation had been far from pleasant.

Now that everything had been settled, it was normal for Charlene to leave.

“Next, we have a report on Fang Heng.”

Augustine displayed a document on the screen, his face heavy.
