Chapter 823: Chapter 460: The Ultimate Secret Technique–Mouth Escape

The sky of Luoxia District would turn a murky grey after the afternoon, as though swathed in billowing clouds of dust, yet a closer look might reveal it to be an illusion of the sight.

Yan Junze sat in the car, winding along the secondary road towards the White Star Nuclear Power Plant.

Now that there had been an accident at the power plant, it wasn’t entirely written off as beyond restart, but there were steps to be taken: halt operations, conduct thorough check-ups of all equipment, analyze the causes of the accident, develop a refined emergency plan, and hold the relevant personnel accountable before considering the matter of restarting.

Of course, the personnel currently being held accountable were limited to the team associated with the problematic No. 6 unit. Other core corporate leaders had already collectively met their doom under Yao Long’s revenge.

Taking roughly forty minutes, the car arrived at the White Star Nuclear Power Station, the perimeter of which had been taken over by the Safety Bureau and cordoned off.

However, considering that Yao Long might be lurking nearby, there was no one guarding this place.

Yan Junze and Wang Tong got out of the car, leaving Wang Tong to stay in the security room at the entrance; the station’s power supply had been cut off, with only the exterior walls connected to electricity, so the security room was lit.

Standing at the entrance, Yan Junze didn’t immediately enter the power station but activated [Perception of Strange Events].

The power station occupied a large area, so he still used up some energy to ensure his perception covered the whole facility completely.

Shortly after, a mission briefing popped up in his mind.

[Coordinates confirmed: White Star Nuclear Power Plant, Outer Room of No. 6 Unit Equipment Room.]

[Mission Name: Rebirth within the Magnetic Heap;

Mission Level: scared witless (High);

Mission Background: Yao Long was a compliant and straightforward man, who, after the death of his parents, met the love of his life and devoted all his passion to her, only to be betrayed by her. Yet Yao Long did not become disillusioned with the world; he picked himself up, found a new job, and dedicated himself to it wholeheartedly. However, life dealt him another brutal blow: after being exposed to radiation from the leaking reactor, the company’s higher-ups, in an attempt to cover up the incident, secretly imprisoned him without offering treatment, leading to Yao Long’s death in despair;]

Mission Description: He is very angry, and venting his rage is his sole remaining purpose. Convince him, and provide a vent for his fury when it reaches its peak;

Mission Reward: 2500 Different Dimension Energy points;

Mission Penalty: Meld into the magnetic heap and be with him forever;

Mission Tips: 1. The Evil Spirit cannot be Locked down; 2. Please note, his fury has a cooldown period. Constantly observe whether his rage has peaked and provide a vent in advance, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable; 3. Understand him, trust him, move him;

Note: Next, witness the moment of Mouth Escape.]

After carefully reading the mission briefing, Yan Junze took a sharp intake of breath.

A scared witless (High) level mission was a first for him, but the “High” was not to suggest that Yao Long was so frighteningly powerful. Indeed, his ability to wipe out other strangenesses across a wide area indicated his strength.

However, Feng Huaigong had mentioned he was completely confident in killing Yao Long after the latter had vented his anger.

In other words, Feng Huaigong probably discovered the cooldown period in Yao Long’s fury, which he could use to eliminate him.

Additionally, Yan Junze disappointingly noted the mission tip “The Evil Spirit cannot be Locked down.”

Since a Lockdown was impossible, the only option left was to conduct an Exorcism to release his Obsession and let him depart freely, instead of keeping Yao Long bound close by.

Initially, his plan was to find an opportunity to capture this special strangeness, thereby fulfilling the task assigned by Zhang Chengjing while simultaneously adding a powerful ally to his ranks.

But now, it seemed that was no longer feasible.

In summary, this was a story of one repeatedly disappointed by life, succumbing to complete despair, and becoming a strangeness in a hateful death to take revenge.

Yet the inability to Lockdown gnawed at Yan Junze.

He remembered that during the [Triple Spirits] mission, even the Ethereal spirit-level task involving his sister Zhuang Wenxian indicated the possibility of a Lockdown.

Now this Yao Long, it seems in the realm of Ethereal spirits, was top-tier, of course, only when anger surged. Otherwise, Feng Huaigong wouldn’t assert full confidence in killing him during the anger’s cooldown.

He would take one step at a time. Since it was impossible to Lockdown, freeing this fellow’s Obsession, letting him return to dust, was also a decent disposition.

That was all Yan Junze could resolve himself to think.

After giving Wang Tong a heads-up, he asked for the direction to the No. 6 unit equipment room and headed there after entering through the main gate.

From the records, he knew Ying Long had died outside the No. 6 unit equipment room, and now possibly due to Obsession, after slaying those he detested, he naturally returned to the place of his death.

Passing by equipment rooms each marked with a serial number, Yan Junze swiftly arrived outside Equipment Room No. 6.

He examined the door, which was temporarily secured with a U-shaped lock.

Of course, such a lock couldn’t stop Yao Long. Yan Junze peered inside through the crack of the door, seeing nothing but pitch darkness.

He stepped back and released his domain field, directing it at the U-shaped lock.

With a click, the lock sprang open.

He pulled the door open and stepped in. Since he opened both doors, the light from outside shone through, illuminating the part of the room near the entrance, but the innermost area was still in complete darkness.
