#2401 - Remaining doubts

Chapter 2404: Lingering Doubts

Half a month later.

Afternoon, at the café in the Library of Worlds.

Fang Heng ordered himself an iced cola.

For the past few weeks, he had been relying on concentrated coffee in the game to stay awake and grind, and now the smell of coffee made him feel a little nauseous.

“All occupational hazards…”

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

It seemed he would need to take some time to recover properly.

Since the World of Wan Sen had declared peace and come to a temporary conclusion, Fang Heng’s life had finally returned to a period of tranquility.

During the day, he would read, sleep, and do some simple training. In the evening, he would spend a little money to hire tutors from various academic departments for one-on-one tutoring, and get some money from the research team at Levo-Midtown University to spend.

Unconsciously, his connection with the research team at Levo-Midtown University had gradually become closer.

More than three months had passed since the investigation by the Central Federation, the storm had gradually subsided, the tracking shackles left on his body had completely disappeared, and the pursuers following him had left more than a month ago.

In addition to the effect of the artifact as a disguise, Fang Heng felt that even if he went out now, there wouldn’t be much of a problem.

In fact, Gu Qingzhu had tried to go out several times to test whether there were still hidden sentries from the Central Federation outside.

Fang Heng felt that it was still better to be cautious and hide in the Library of Worlds for a while longer.

During this time, his various academic skills were gradually improving at a slow pace.

Hiding here was very leisurely.

Going out might lead to new troubles.

In the game, if the troubles of the Holy Court were not resolved, he would not be able to flex his muscles again, so he simply calmed down and sorted out all the academics he had learned, upgrading what needed to be upgraded and grinding experience where needed.

The goal was to max out all the skills he currently possessed!

First, he would max out his attribute values to the current maximum and maximize his potential.

While thinking, Fang Heng raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the café.

A middle-aged man with a buzz cut, wearing a leather coat and black-rimmed glasses, walked in.

Just last night, Fang Heng had received a call from Lao Hei.

He said that the mastermind behind the establishment of the improper website had arranged to meet him at the café this afternoon.

Fang Heng stared at the man, watching him walk to several wrong tables in a row before finally walking up to him, nodding slightly, revealing a kind smile, and asking, “Hello, are you the friend Lao Hei introduced?”

“Yes, that’s me, are you Bai Mu? Please, sit down.”

“Fang Heng, hello, hello, I finally found you, sorry, sorry, I’m late.”

Fang Heng watched the other party reveal an apologetic smile, repeatedly apologizing. While speaking, he carefully took off his coat, tidied it up, and placed it on the chair beside him before sitting down opposite Fang Heng.

“I’m really sorry, I have face blindness, it takes me a long time to remember someone’s face. Although I’ve seen your photo, it’s still hard to match it.”

Bai Mu said, waving to the waiter to order a black coffee.

“It’s okay, I happen to have time recently.”

Fang Heng observed the person who came, secretly calculating in his heart.

At first, he was looking for Bai Yu to repair the Stone of the Night and deal with the Arrogance Demon Seed.

Now that Arrogance had been dealt with by the Divine Realm, it was naturally not so urgent.

Of course, he still had to look for it, after all, this thing could restrain the Demon Seed, and he would eventually have to fight ‘Jealousy’ in the future.

It was better to be prepared.

In addition, the dimensional crystal core in Bai Yu was also a good thing.

However, Fang Heng felt that the difficulty of getting that thing would definitely not be low.

It was estimated that it would take some effort.

At the same time, he still had to face the pursuit of the Divine Realm.

With the blessing of the dimensional level, Fang Heng thought that encountering the pursuers of the Divine Realm would no longer be as helpless as before, but he still couldn’t beat them after all.

So there was no need to waste time trying to die once.

At least for now, even if he knew the way to enter Bai Yu, he wouldn’t dare to go there easily.

However, since Bai Mu had come, he should ask what he needed to ask.

Fang Heng tentatively asked, “I heard Lao Hei say that you are very interested in Bai Yu, I am actually very interested too. At first, I left a message wanting to chat with you, I didn’t expect you to run so far to come over.”

“It’s okay, I also wanted to come and see the rising star in the forum myself.”

Bai Mu gave people a gentle and refined feeling, doing things methodically, making it difficult to associate him with the mastermind behind the improper website.

However, the next sentence almost made Fang Heng unable to hold the teacup in his hand.

“I’ll just say it straight, as far as I know, ‘Jealousy’ Demon Seed is controlling Bai Yu behind the scenes.”

What the hell!

The news was too shocking, Fang Heng almost sprayed a mouthful of cola out of his nose.

“What did you say?”

Bai Mu looked at Fang Heng, still with a smile on his face, but he didn’t repeat what he had just said.

Fang Heng quickly calmed down.

Jealousy was actually controlling Bai Yu behind the scenes?

That’s right.

After all, Jealousy had a motive!

Jealousy did want to seal each Demon Seed container in different places.

So it made sense that he had reached a deal with the Tree Spirit Race to have the Tree Spirit Race seal a part of Arrogance.

Okay.

Let’s not talk about Bai Yu for now.

Fang Heng stared at the person in front of him.

Bai Mu!

He could actually say the name of the Demon Seed so easily.

Wasn’t he afraid of being contaminated?

“Yes, ‘Jealousy’ Demon Seed.”

Bai Mu repeated it again, looking at Fang Heng with a kind of appreciation, “Hello, Greed, let me introduce myself again, I am one of the inheritors of Wrath.”

Fang Heng looked at Bai Mu, a little dumbfounded.

You?

Wrath?

Isn’t the gap a bit too big?

And inheritor?

Are you sure you shouldn’t call yourself a ‘container’?

At least he didn’t call himself ‘Wrath’.

That was a good thing.

Fang Heng took two big gulps of cola to calm his nerves, his brain working rapidly.

After a moment of silence, Fang Heng adjusted his sitting posture again and shook his head at Bai Mu, “I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”

“It’s okay, just listen to me, just take it as listening to a story.” Bai Mu didn’t mind and continued, “Actually, a long time ago, when I first came into contact with the relevant clues of Bai Yu, I had already conducted a series of investigations on Bai Yu.”

“According to my current understanding, ‘Jealousy’ used some kind of power to imprison the other Demon Seeds at the same time, but Jealousy’s power alone could not truly destroy the Demon Seeds, nor did it have the energy and ability to separate and guard and seal the Demon Seeds individually, so ‘Jealousy’ tried to divide the power of the Demon Seeds and hide or seal the power of the Demon Seeds in various corners of the world.”

Bai Mu took the coffee from the mechanical waiter beside him, thanked him, and then looked at Fang Heng again, summarizing, “Bai Yu is actually the origin of ‘Jealousy’.”
