Chapter 156 Celestial Devour

My attributes and lifespan have increased again, but it's a pity I don't have time to properly convert them into martial arts realm.

By the time Fang Yue was nearing Dongliu Mountain, it was already dark.

Fang Yue strangely discovered that the missing corner of the sun, that bizarre darkness, was also synchronized on the moon.

However, it was slightly different from the solar eclipse-like situation during the day.

The lower right corner of the moon was stained with a small patch of scarlet.

Fang Yue was suspicious for a while again, before confirming that this small piece of scarlet had no effect on the moon.

Could it be… this is the legendary night scene?

Fang Yue was confused. This thing seems harmless and doesn't seem threatening at all.

Could it be specially for people to take photos and check in as an internet celebrity?

He chose a relatively safe location and used the fluorescence of the fluorescent beads to avoid the trouble of lighting a human-soul bonfire.

Fang Yue looked at Dongliu Mountain, which was already visible to the naked eye, entered the tent, and silently logged off.

It's a pity the Parchment is still asleep, otherwise, I wouldn't have to risk logging off.

"Qiu Dugu, what's the matter that you're so anxious to have me quit the game?"

Opening his eyes, Fang Yue frowned.

He was in a dangerous state in the game, so naturally, he didn't want to stay in reality for too long.

"The Weirdness Index is soaring, players are massively quitting the game, and the worsening of various situations has led the United Guild to decide to implement the Separation Plan ahead of schedule. We are going to leave Jianghai City with Guild Leader Qian and go to the neighboring Haiyu City. Make preparations; it will be in the next few days."

Fang Yue looked stunned.

"So urgent? Can't we stay? What did Sister Yuan say?"

Leaving Jianghai City wasn't a problem for Fang Yue.

After all, apart from Sister Yuan and some university classmates, he hadn't left much of a mark in Jianghai City.

However, he was busy with things in the game and didn't want the move to affect his development in the game.

"Sister Yuan agreed… After Bai Xiaoya died, she was quite depressed and also wanted to leave this sad place and live somewhere else to avoid being reminded of the past."

Bai Xiaoya…

Fang Yue was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. "If Sister Yuan agrees, then I have no objections either. But I may not be free recently. Either you go to Haiyu City first, and I'll take a plane over there when I have time in the game?"

"No need. See when you're free and let me know. We also need to do some preparatory work here. It's said to be a few days later, but it's not set in stone. We can adjust it according to your schedule."

That's great.

Fang Yue estimated that if he could find out An Dong'er's whereabouts in Dongliu Mountain and successfully rescue her, it would only take three to five days.

By then, he could send the person to Qing Silk County, entrust her to Captain Wu's care, and he would be free to take a plane to change cities.

Just as Fang Yue was thinking this, he looked up and was suddenly stunned.

Outside the window, a corner of the round moon shimmered with scarlet, out of harmony with the yellow color of the moon. His pupils contracted…

How could this be?!

This is reality!

The moon in reality!

Fang Yue's face changed, and he quickly went to the window, carefully looking at the moon in the sky.

It really was exactly the same as the moon in the game!

"Qiu Dugu, you, look at the moon in the sky. It's, it's like the one in the game…"

"That's called Celestial Devour."

"What?"

Fang Yue was immediately stunned.

Qiu Dugu's tone was extremely calm, as if he knew some inside information.

"The Cheater… is about to awaken," Qiu Dugu said meaningfully.

"What do you mean? What exactly is…"

"According to the United Guild's records, the last time Celestial Devour appeared, it was when the Cheater returned to reality with the Weirdness, with strength."

What?!

Fang Yue's pupils shrank.

Now, in the real world, he is the only one who can synchronize his strength in the game with the power of the Parchment.

As for the others, they all rely on Weirdness to support their strength.

Everyone else has the physical fitness of ordinary people; they are only being forcibly elevated by Weirdness.

And the appearance of Celestial Devour… means that all players will have their strength from the game in reality?!

Wouldn't that be chaos??

For a moment, Fang Yue was in a state of chaos.

"Don't think too much. The United Guild has already made arrangements, or rather… the Cheater has already made arrangements. When we get to Haiyu City, many things will be disclosed to us internal personnel, and you'll know what's going on then."

Qiu Dugu was deeply trusted by Guild Leader Qian and knew a little more, but that was all.

Specific information would still be based on what the United Guild announced.

"That's right, even if the sky falls, there's the United Guild, the tall guy, holding it up."

Although that was true, Fang Yue still felt uneasy.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

If something really happened, the United Guild would definitely not sit idly by. He just needed to pay attention to the situation outside and didn't need to think too much.

After calming down, Fang Yue went to find Sister Yuan.

He comforted her for a while and told her not to go out randomly. She should stay safely in the United Guild building and wait until it was time to go to Haiyu City together.

"I know."

Sister Yuan's spirit had been poor ever since Bai Xiaoya died, but she was still stable.

As for entering the game, she was filled with fear of this game and didn't want to create a character at all.

Fang Yue didn't force her. Although he knew that playing this game might have benefits, it also had risks. Bai Xiaoya was an example.

As long as he could protect Sister Yuan, even if she had no power, it wouldn't matter.

Thinking of this, Fang Yue called out to the Parchment twice more, but the Parchment still didn't respond.

This was quite embarrassing.

His strength in reality required the Parchment as a medium. If the Parchment slept, he would be useless in reality too.

"Don't panic. Anyway, we're in the United Guild's Qingshui Branch. Surely no one will attack here."

Returning to his room, Fang Yue returned to the game.

In the game, he was still on the official road in the wilderness. He couldn't stay in reality for too long.

After all, every second in the wilderness was synonymous with danger.

Anxious to enter the game, Fang Yue didn't know that in the basement of this United Guild building, a 'prisoner' was being held.

"Coffee Sister, more rice!"

Sister Ying's face darkened.

If she hadn't confirmed that this guy had indeed advanced to the Acquired Realm, Sister Ying would have kicked him in the face.

She added rice, threw it in, and Ganfan Ren Jingyan immediately devoured it.

爽! (Shuang! - Awesome!)

Acquired Realm, so awesome!

Being able to have an extra bowl of rice every day means two meals a day!

In this prison, who can eat two meals a day? Besides me, who can!

Jingyan looked disdainfully at the fat otaku roommate next to him, who was pitifully looking at him.

"B, Big Brother, give me a bite…"

Fat Otaku Number One pitifully held out his dog bowl.

"Me, me too want…"

Whoosh, Fat Otaku Number Two's saliva flowed straight down.
