"You know Tianyang too?"
Yun Yuan looked back at the young man in front of him with some surprise: "Yes, my friend is Jing Lin."
Tian Yang nodded and said, "I went to Tian Qing College before and listened to a few classes taught by Teacher Liu. I was thinking about continuing to learn from him, but I didn't expect..."
Yun Yuan was also filled with grief: "Yeah, I didn't expect Jing Lin to leave like this. I have known him for many years, and he had overcome such a great difficulty back then, but now he has chosen to commit suicide. I really don't know what he was thinking."
"His son just turned fifteen. He still has a long way to go and still needs his guidance. Why did he..."
Tian Yang glanced at Yun Yuan and said in a deep voice, "In fact, I think what happened to Teacher Liu is very strange."
Yun Yuan's eyes moved slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Before Teacher Liu committed suicide, there was no sign at all. He even promised to teach me how to use the language of the Reverse Realm, but suddenly..."
Yun Yuan raised his eyebrows. "It turns out that I'm not the only one who finds this strange. That's right, Jing Lin doesn't seem like the type of person who would choose to commit suicide. No matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, he won't use this method to escape."
Tian Yang said in surprise: "Second Master thinks so too?"
Yun Yuan put his hands behind his back and nodded vigorously: "After Jinglin attempted suicide, he was sent to the medical center for emergency treatment. Although he did not survive that day, I asked Luo Shan, and she told me with certainty that she was sure to save Jinglin, but that night, Jinglin passed away... There are many doubts here."
"Then Second Master..." Tianyang wanted to ask him if he had investigated, but he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so he swallowed the words back.
Yun Yuan smiled bitterly: "You want to ask, did I investigate further? It was such a coincidence that I had to prepare for the family competition at that time. Although I was sad, I still had to put my family first. So, I didn't investigate further, but..."
Yun Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "After the competition is over, I will definitely investigate thoroughly. If Jinglin's fate is really like this, then it's fine. But if I find out that his death was man-made, then no matter who he is, he will have to pay a terrible price!"
Tian Yang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Yun Yuan's words. If Yun Yuan went to investigate the Yun family personally, the resistance would be much smaller than if he did it himself.
In this way, I believe it won’t be long before the truth about Liu Jinglin’s case will be revealed.
Footsteps sounded, and Shunhua, whose hand was bandaged, came over and reported excitedly: "Second Master, we found the origin of the gap."
Origin? Another word I haven’t heard of.
As if seeing the confusion on the boy's face, Yun Yuan smiled and explained: "The crack will not be generated without reason. Usually, it is born from the origin. The origin can be a creature, a tool, or anything else. But no matter what form it appears in, the origin is the most valuable thing in the crack."
"Well, do you have your eyes on anything? If you don't have any target for the time being, then go back first. After we finish cleaning up here, I'll pick out a suitable item and have Shunhua send it to you. How do you think?"
Tianyang naturally would not refuse. After saying "Thank you, Second Master", Yunyuan and Shunhua went to see the origin.
The young man also wanted to go and broaden his horizons, but Yun Yuan had already asked him to go back first, so he didn't want to stick with him any longer. Just as he was about to leave, the black fog surged, and Tian Yang felt something in his heart.
He looked at the platform in front of him.
Something flashed in the large skeleton.
Tianyang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he jumped onto the platform. When he looked closer, he found that it was the spine of the skeleton, with a black crystal attached to the fourth vertebra.
That thing caused the black fog to react. Tianyang drilled into the skeleton and climbed up by grabbing the horizontal bones.
When he came to the black crystal, he saw that it was very thin, only as thick as a piece of paper. There was nothing unusual on the surface, but Tianyang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a voice in his heart kept urging him to peel off the crystal!
The inner voice was so loud that it even drowned Tianyang's consciousness. The boy's eyes were blank, and he had no idea what he was doing. But he raised his arm and touched the thin crystal.
When the fingertips touched the black crystal, the crystal vibrated slightly, and suddenly the surface began to boil, flowing like liquid. The state changed, and the original black crystal turned into a liquid like mercury, but its color was pitch black, but the surface had a distinct metallic luster.
It flowed and condensed, forming a black drop of water, and then instantly shrank into the boy's fingertips.
The moment the black water entered his body, Tianyang felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, his entire body was stiff and unable to move, and he fell off his frame. But this feeling came quickly and went away even faster.
Before he fell to the ground, Tianyang had returned to normal. He quickly adjusted his posture and landed gently.
He was bewildered, not knowing what had just happened. But in an unknown corner of the boy's body, the black goat skull symbol emerged from nothingness.
On the curved corners on both sides of the skull, red lines lit up, and under the vermilion light, it was not difficult to see a black, extremely rich water drop falling.
It landed on the black goat's forehead, and immediately, the symbol began to vibrate. A trace of red light shot out from the forehead, and the surface shattered, forming a straight crack.
The gap continued to extend and move, and in the blink of an eye, an inverted pentagram pattern appeared on the forehead of the black goat's skull.
As this pattern appeared, a cold message passed through Tianyang's heart.
Dark Resonance: The utilization of black fog is greatly improved. In the world of adversity, the power and effect of all relics are doubled.
Tian Yang was stunned. How did this ability suddenly appear? Obviously, this was not an ability of the Ripper level, but more like a power that leaned towards the dark side.
Could it be caused by absorbing the black water droplet just now
The boy felt a chill on his back. Ever since he absorbed part of the pulp of the Black Prince's devil fruit, he began to slide towards the dark side.
Utilize the Black Mist and use the relics left by the Black Folk. Now this dark ability emphasizes the use of the Black Mist and enhancing the power and effect of the relics in the Reverse Realm.
All of this made him feel that he was gradually turning into some kind of dark creature.
The star essence appears.
The silver light floating in front of him made Tianyang feel relieved, but he also felt strange. If he had already begun to slide into darkness, why could he still control the star essence so easily
Won't there be a conflict between the two
"Hey, what are you doing in there?" an Ascendant called out from outside the skeleton, "Come out quickly, we are going to conduct a test. Be careful when you come out, don't break anything."
Tianyang knew that he would not find the answer here.
Shu Xingyun, he carefully passed through the skeleton and jumped off the platform.
After a moment, he walked out of the rat's nest.
Although the threat behind the arch has been cleared, some questions remain unanswered.
For example, why didn't the things inside the arch leave after all these years? Couldn't they open the arch from the inside
Also, there is a pile of bones on the platform from creatures who had killed each other. I wonder what the meaning of those creatures fighting is
Perhaps Lin Yu knew these things, but unfortunately he did not leave any information. Perhaps the answer has been submerged in the long river of time, and future generations can only guess based on their imagination.
Some things may be destined to have no answers.
Just like the changes happening in my body...
On the way back, Tianyang tried to communicate with the black fog, and his thoughts were extended with the help of the black fog, and the world suddenly became bright. Tianyang found that the range of perception was wider than before.
At least, it has expanded more than twice, which should be the effect of dark resonance.
It seems that with this ability, my strength in the adversity will be raised to a higher level, or even higher. If the consequences are not considered, these abilities on the dark side will be of great help in exploring the adversity.
As Tianyang walked, he familiarized himself with the amplification effect of his new ability. With the help of the black fog, he scanned the surroundings aimlessly.
When the boy extended his perception beam to more than a hundred meters and accidentally swept through a corridor, he suddenly saw a figure, so he swept the perception beam back.
As a result, Tianyang "saw" Liu Chen!
This place was far away from the camp of Yunlong team, and Liu Chen kept looking back every few steps, as if he was on guard against something. Tianyang was surprised, locked the direction, and quietly chased after him.
Now that his perception range has greatly increased, Tianyang kept Liu Chen from a distance, tracking him all the way, and finally Liu Chen went into a computer room.
Tianyang distanced himself from him, sensing the black fog and entering the computer room. With the information fed back, the black fog constructed a detailed model. In this model, Tianyang saw not only Liu Chen, but also several other people.
One of them was Yun Yao!
Tian Yang was shocked. What was Liu Chen doing? Why was he meeting Yun Yao? And he was alone. Could it be that he had been bribed by Yun Yao
Unfortunately, although the black fog can construct models, it cannot transmit sound, so Tianyang saw their mouths opening and closing, but he didn't know what they were saying.
There were a few times when his mouth shape seemed to mention his own name.
The meeting ended quickly and Liu Chen left and headed towards the camp.
Tianyang frowned. Ten minutes after Liu Chen returned to the camp, the boy arrived at the door of the assembly room.
He walked into the camp and went to the main tent. He had to tell Yunze about this.
Unexpectedly, when Tianyang opened the tent and walked in, he found Yunze and Yanhong in the tent. Moreover, Liu Chen was also beside them. When he saw Tianyang, Liu Chen's face was furious and he shouted.
"Tianyang, Master Yunze has great trust in you, why do you want to betray him!"
The young man was a little overwhelmed by his drinking, and then he realized that the reason why he and Yun Yao mentioned him so many times was to throw the bucket of dirty water on him!
Tian Yang couldn't help but sneer: "This thief crying thief skill is well practiced. But Liu Chen, why didn't you tell Master Yunze who you met just now?"
