Chapter 1146: [(851)] Merge with the Demon God Body! (Two in One, Vote for Monthly Pass)

A young man collapsed on the ground, his face ashen, with signs of his clothes having been burned by flames, and his skin exposed under the moonlight showing numerous wounds.

The grass beside him conveniently concealed a black box.

It was the black box!

…

Upon seeing this, Yu Long felt some sympathy for Pei Jinye’s predicament.

“This kid really has bad luck.”

“But it’s good that we found the black box.”

Headquarters.

Tang Lu was exhilarated and quickly said, “Confirm whether it is the black box.”

“Confirmation successful,” Fish Tail’s voice came through.

Tang Lu’s previously anxious heart could finally settle down: “Let’s wrap things up. Thank you both for your strong support.”

After speaking, he sat down in his chair and leaned back.

He could finally rest properly.

…

Inside Nanling Mountain.

“What about him?” Yu Long scratched his head as he looked at the unconscious Pei Jinye and asked.

But he only realized that he had lost his hair when he scratched his head, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch.

“I’ll take responsibility,” said Fish Tail as she picked up Pei Jinye and without looking back.

Yu Long instinctively scratched his head again, but his hand froze mid-air, sulkily withdrawing it.

“Wait for me.”

…

…

“So, what happened here?”

At the entrance of Spring Breeze Ten Mile Street, Wen Xiyue was dumbfounded as she looked at the sealing tapes.

She came to retrieve the Formation from Pei Jinye according to their agreed time.

But now she couldn’t even enter the street.

Before she could say anything more, Lu Xiyue suddenly pulled her into a nearby alley and whispered, “The people from Eternal Night are all here, let’s leave quickly after they go.”

“Eternal Night? What are these ruthless people doing here?” Wen Xiyue was startled.

Lu Xiyue thought for a moment but shook her head and said, “If they show up, then surely there is some terrifying criminal here.”

Once the group in front had left, she hurriedly got Wen Xiyue into the car.

“Do you think… Master Pei is still there?” asked Wen Xiyue, reluctant to leave.

Lu Xiyue drove the car, not optimistic about the situation: “Even if he is, with something like this happening, he’d surely be taken away by Eternal Night for inquiries. Let’s head back first, isn’t your brother in the Military Department? Ask him what happened.”

“That’s true.”

The car started, and the two quickly left the scene.

As soon as they got home.

Wen Xiyue received news that shocked both women.

Half an hour ago, a criminal broke into Master Pei’s shop, followed by the appearance of Eternal Night people, and a great battle ensued.

“???”

Lu Xiyue was stunned as well.

“Tonight’s incident actually involves Master Pei… Where is he?”

Wen Xiyue shook her head, her expression becoming grave: “His whereabouts are currently unknown; he may have been taken away by the criminal, but he could also have been taken by the people from Eternal Night.”

“This…” Lu Xiyue opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

The appearance of Eternal Night was already troublesome for her.

And the incident itself was already related to Master Pei.

Based on her understanding of Eternal Night, the fact that they were alerted was a sign of the seriousness of the issue.

But her friend… Wen Xiyue suddenly became excited: “Xi Yue, that’s not the point. The point is that the criminal actually sought out Master Pei by reputation!!! Wakaka, we truly discovered a treasure.”

It’s hard to judge… Lu Xiyue said with a weird expression: “Let’s hope he’s still alive…”

“Master Pei is so powerful, he’ll definitely be fine; I’ll ask someone to inquire.”

Wen Xiyue was inexplicably full of confidence in Pei Jinye, and before dialing the number, she couldn’t help saying, “I knew it; the first time I saw Master Pei, I felt he was someone with a story. So amazing, he’s someone that even Eternal Night must deal with personally… Next time I see him, I’ll ask if he’s looking for a disciple.”

Lu Xiyue looked at her seriously: “Are you serious?”

“Of course!”

But to Wen Xiyue’s surprise, even with her brother stepping in, they could not find Pei Jinye’s whereabouts.

“Strange, how could there be no information?”

Beside her, Lu Xiyue pondered and said, “But this might also be good news.”

Wen Xiyue looked over.

Lu Xiyue explained, “At least it means that Master Pei is not dead; he must have been taken by Eternal Night, so that’s why your brother can’t find any information. Let’s wait patiently for now.”

…

Late at night.

Eternal Night Headquarters.

Yu Long, his head and hands wrapped in bandages, reported to Fish Tail, “Reported already, but the woman’s identity is still unverified.”

Fish Tail was silent.

Yu Long looked on with frustration and carefully said, “What’s the matter, Fish Sister? You’ve seemed worried since you came back.”

Fish Tail did not answer but instead raised her head to ask, “What does headquarters say?”

“The black box is intact. The higher-ups speculate that the other party couldn’t unlock the Array Method Inlaid in the Black Box, so they need to find a Matrix Controller…” Yu Long said, but couldn’t help adding, “But what was that witch trying to do, not seeking those renowned Matrix Controllers, but instead looking for a small-town Matrix Controller… Could that unlucky guy’s Matrix Ability be very strong?”

Fish Tail raised an eyebrow: “Did the higher-ups say anything else?”

“Say what?” Yu Long didn’t understand, subconsciously wanting to scratch his head but remembering the plasters all over his scalp, he felt a pang of grief for his hair… my poor hair.

I already have so little… that witch, you just wait!

“The higher-ups didn’t say anything. The fact that the black box came back intact has already set their minds at ease.”

Fish Tail raised an eyebrow: “What do they plan to do with that young Matrix Controller?”
