Chapter 2794

(To be modified later) They say they suspect Zone 022 was involved in the slaughter area, but in reality, the Old Holy Sword Society has already found evidence. No matter how many shady things Zone 022 has done, that particular matter concerning the Old Holy Sword Society is certain, and many people from the Old Holy Sword Society have died due to this, suffering heavy losses.

When companions with shared goals are killed, how can the Old Holy Sword Society swallow this grievance? Once they trace the clues, revenge is inevitable. The relationship between them, Zone 022, and Miss Ruo is life-or-death; the verbal disputes are not truly about seeking justice, but about expressing intentions, and they also want involved parties to understand that any action comes with corresponding consequences!

"It seems your plan is not quite thorough," Xu Huo stated. "Besides killing for revenge, do you have any other tasks? Miss Ruo used a gemstone to distract you, what is she trying to cover up? What are you searching for?"

Gong Ying glanced towards the white-haired elder, clearly he was already at a disadvantage. He was staying not to escape, but to buy time for his companions.

"Do you really know Lady Palace?" She turned and asked.

"You can ask Lady Palace afterwards," Xu Huo replied. "She should still remember me."

After hesitating again, Gong Ying finally said, "Zone 022 has always collaborated with the New Holy Sword Society. We’re actually looking for the New Holy Sword Society’s base."

There’s no doubt that the New Holy Sword Society has definitely been involved in actions against the Old Holy Sword Society, but the New Holy Sword Society’s growth and expansion in the game is not without reason. Whether acting as the hidden hand for certain districts or factions, or recruiting players recklessly, it shows that they have a knack for networking, and their connections with district governments are to be expected. Naturally, it’s no surprise that district governments provide them with a hideout.

In contrast, the Old Holy Sword Society appears weak, struggling even to investigate the base of the New Holy Sword Society.

Xu Huo has killed many members of the New Holy Sword Society, and he has repeatedly obtained maps from these people, some clearly marked to pinpoint districts, while others only show mountains, rivers, or general terrain distribution, making it difficult to determine which district they belong to.

After confirming she wasn’t lying, he took out some of the maps he had acquired, "These were obtained from members of the New Holy Sword Society. I don’t know if they’re related to their base, but you can take them back and maybe find something."

Gong Ying was naturally very grateful, and Xu Huo’s willingness to give the maps showed goodwill towards them, although she couldn’t understand why he was unwilling to help.

"I don’t owe the Old Holy Sword Society any favors," Xu Huo perceived her thoughts and explained proactively.

Gong Ying understood, though she couldn’t avoid feeling disappointed. At this time, signals began emitting consecutively from nearby islands, and her expression relaxed. She immediately told Xu Huo, "We’re withdrawing now. Thank you for saving me and giving me the maps. I will remember this kindness."

After saying this, she vanished from Xu Huo’s hands.

Similarly, the white-haired elder and several others from the Old Holy Sword Society also retreated successively, and soon, only players from Zone 022 were left above the islands.

"Disappear forever," Lei Jie Lian said. "I advise you not to do this."

"I’ve lost many people in there before," she said. "The people thrown in never appear again, even if I go back immediately, I can’t find them. And the more people you throw in, the bigger the darkness becomes, the greater the area it can cover, and the more it will strain you."

"I wasn’t this weak when I first got this item."

"Did you research this item?" Xu Huo asked, referring to the district government and the Chief Governor.

"It’s my secret, why should I tell others?" Lei Jie Lian said matter-of-factly. "The district library has a lot of information, whatever you want to check is there."

"So do you think black space is very similar to a black hole?" Xu Huo pursued further, "Why?"

"So do you think black space is very similar to a black hole?" Xu Huo pursued further, "Why?"

The introduction of "My Heart is Dark" is very simple, but with the little girl’s example, Xu Huo quickly grasped its usage.

First is that black force, it is definitely some kind of power that can envelop others to transfer them to the place the holder wants to go, and the larger the area covered or the longer the time, the greater the deviation in perception and basic judgment occurs. To a certain extent, it can even swallow space-time power.

But this does not mean that space-time power becomes completely ineffective; any power, when confronted, must consider quantity. For example, an ordinary spatial barrier cannot interfere with time force, but dimensional space power can. This black force is the same.

Secondly, the coverage area, it primarily attaches to the architectural space where the holder is located, but being shuttled by black force no longer means traversing special spatial passages of spatial evolution, but entering another space, or a space corner. When the item activates, the holder is brought into another black space, which can be understood as this black space adjoining the current space. Once inside, it temporarily leaves the original space, though not completely, because the time spent in black space cannot be too long. Once extended, the black space automatically ejects the holder.

Xu Huo speculates this is a restriction designed to fit the instance; entering black space doesn’t mean truly escaping the current space, so it’s still impossible to use it to evade crossing between zones or wormhole points to escape instances.

Of course, its function isn’t merely to envelop others; more importantly, it has a very unique defensive capability. Since it can absorb time force, it implies that most characteristics may be ineffective when encountering it. Even if effective, they can be easily interrupted.

Xu Huo tested its duration at maximum coverage range. Once darkness is generated, as long as he doesn’t use it to swallow others, it can persist indefinitely. But if he enters the black space, the external darkness will dissipate, and he himself can only stay in black space for a maximum of five seconds.

That’s for the holder, if it’s someone else.

He looked at the little girl, namely Lei Jie Lian.

Lei Jie Lian was already squatting on the ground, having followed Xu Huo back and forth several times in the black space, appearing more exhausted. But upon contacting his dangerous gaze, she couldn’t help but say, "You’re not planning to throw me into a black hole, are you?"

"What happens if you throw someone inside?" Xu Huo asked.

"Disappear forever," Lei Jie Lian said. "I advise you not to do this."

"I’ve lost many people in there before," she said. "The people thrown in never appear again, even if I go back immediately, I can’t find them. And the more people you throw in, the bigger the darkness becomes, the greater the area it can cover, and the more it will strain you."

"I wasn’t this weak when I first got this item."

"Did you research this item?" Xu Huo asked, referring to the district government and the Chief Governor.

"It’s my secret, why should I tell others?" Lei Jie Lian said matter-of-factly. "The district library has a lot of information, whatever you want to check is there."
