Chapter 165 Re-entering Yuandan Street

Chapter 100 Reset
  Having just bid farewell to his wife and left the Lion Lane residence—

  Mr. Shu's phone rang.

  "Yuandan Street, quickly."

  The old fellow tersely gave a location and then hung up.

  Yuandan Street has become a shadow in the hearts of many residents of the old district.

  The last time there was a sudden fog, many innocent people inhaled the smog and suffered "spiritual pollution." They didn't know it was the power of a transcendent sealed object, and thought they had a serious illness, or that ghosts were haunting the old street and they were being targeted by something unclean… the latter was actually quite close.

  After all, an out-of-control sealed object is just an unscientific thing like a "ghost," isn't it?

  And transcendent pollution is just something unclean, isn't it?

  After the phone call ended, Gu Shen frowned slightly. He knew Zhou Jiren's character very well… he never contacted him unless there were special circumstances.

 t it something to do with the Special Investigation Team?

  …

  …

  Gu Shen was in the old district, not far from Yuandan Street, and it only took him five minutes to get there.

  Night shrouded the area.

  A misty drizzle filled the air.

  Two dim yellow streetlights illuminated the street, their faint glow scattering through the fog.

  Visibility was not high.

  After the fog dissipated on this old street, it revealed the dilapidated and collapsing street scene. The outlines of large, empty factory buildings were exposed. The dried bones and bloodstains from the last time had been cleaned up… At first glance, one would only feel that this old street was a bit desolate and bleak, with nothing else unusual.

  Gu Shen ignited the Blazing Fire.

  The long night was no longer dark in his eyes.

  Instead, it turned into… a colorful black.

  Strands of color floating in the air were the concrete manifestations of the overflowing transcendent source quality.

  Gu Shen sensed something was wrong with Yuandan Street. The transcendent incident on this old street had already been cleaned up, so there shouldn't be so much transcendent source quality drifting around.

  At the end of the rainy night street.

  A young woman in a trench coat with a long knife at her waist and an old man in a suit stood silently, sharing a black umbrella. Before them was a dilapidated iron-clad factory with a broken perimeter wall, leaning precariously.

  "Teacher, Senior Sister."

  Gu Shen came to their side.

  Lu Nanjin, holding the umbrella, silently stared at the rain in the night. The originally falling rain, in the space a few meters in front of her, was blown by an invisible wind, falling at an angle, like a hand stroking smooth silk.

  And these raindrops should have fallen to the ground.

  But in the air… they shattered one after another.

  Gu Shen looked at this scene in surprise.

  "Lanche can sense the wind speed in the air. After activating the third form, the origin can be released to a preliminary extent, although it cannot yet fully construct a domain." Senior Sister held the umbrella. She stretched out her hand, her palm facing the iron-clad factory: "But if the mental power is strong enough… you can cause cutting damage without drawing the blade, like… this!"

  "Boom!"

  Countless fine raindrops, stirred by a sudden gust of wind, turned into thousands of sharp blades!

  In an instant.

  Thousands of tiny steel needles pierced into the iron skin of the factory.

  Lanche erupted!

  A series of crackling sounds burst out all at once.

  The factory, which was already on the verge of collapse, was instantly shattered by a tremendous force, but a strange scene appeared… When Senior Sister Lu retracted her hand, the broken iron-clad factory pieced itself back together little by little.

  This scene was like Luo Er using his mental power to perform "reunion after breaking a mirror."

  "What is this?" Gu Shen asked, puzzled.

  "This is… a reset."

  Zhou Jiren said indifferently, seemingly familiar with this phenomenon. "The time in this factory has been locked to a certain moment. No matter how much it's damaged… it will be reset."

  Reset?

  Gu Shen thought of the Sands of Time dream he had experienced. The ability to reset a dream was not uncommon, but if it appeared in reality… wouldn't that be too terrifying?

  Fortunately, this was just an old factory.

  Gu Shen's expression was grave as he carefully examined the old factory, which was slowly piecing itself back together and restoring itself.

  In his Blazing Fire vision, the transcendent source quality of this factory was extremely dense.

  No.

  It shouldn't be like this…

  Obviously, the reason why Yuandan Street had stray transcendent source quality again was because of this factory… Gu Shen remembered very clearly that this was the factory where Xiao had placed the Gospel Box.

  But after killing Shi Li, he had already devoured all the transcendent source quality here at the time, without leaving any behind.

  "Just today, the transcendents from the command post came to Yuandan Street to be responsible for the final report, a routine inspection… they discovered the abnormality here and reported it. The Yuandan Street fog case, as a case directly related to 'Xiao', the Special Investigation Team of Dadu has the highest authority."

  Zhou Jiren smiled at Gu Shen and said, "Now the entire district is being taken over by us."

  Hmph…

  That felt good to hear.

  "There are generally only three possibilities for the 'reset' phenomenon… the first is the inherent energy of a special sealed object, and the second is that a transcendent released his domain, which has the power of reset."

  Zhou Jiren only mentioned the first two possibilities. He said casually, "There are only a few sealed objects that can create a 'reset', all of which are S-class forbidden objects, locked in the highest-level mithril boxes in the five continents. You should be able to imagine how much damage such power would cause to order, right?"

  Gu Shen nodded solemnly.

  "As for the second possibility, this scene was created by a transcendent with the 'power of reset'…" Zhou Jiren smiled, "This possibility can also be directly ruled out."

  "As far as I know, transcendents who can 'reset time' are even rarer than the forbidden objects mentioned above."

  "Just like the Lanche you just saw, the third form corresponds to the power of the seventh to ninth layers of the deep sea, the origin being released."

  "The twelve layers of the deep sea correspond to different depths of transcendent ability excavation. Out of a hundred transcendents with time-related attributes, there may not be one who can develop the ability of 'reset'. And the cost of initiating a 'reset' is very high, he wouldn't use it to reset such a factory."

  Zhou Jiren said slowly, "Only the last possibility remains, there is an 'order collapse point' inside this factory."

  Order collapse point?

  The small black dot on the tenth floor underground of the Flower Flag?

  Gu Shen remembered that Cui Zhongcheng had told him… such order collapse points could not be handled or eliminated, they could only be contained and stored.

  He became nervous.

  Mr. Shu glanced at his closed-door disciple and said, "Judging by your expression, you seem to already know what an 'order collapse point' is… went to the last floor of the Flower Flag? Cui Zhongcheng told you?"

  He really was an old fox… nothing could be hidden from him.

  "I only know a little bit about it." Gu Shen said frankly, "I took a look from afar behind a protective shield on the tenth floor of the Flower Flag… Actually, I don't know the detailed information about the 'order collapse point'."
