Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 236: Chapter 166: Off Course_2

While waiting for the coffee, he had already completed a third of the modification on one eye.

The preliminary modification of setting the reality anchor point only allowed him to see Mystical Energy. With deep, thorough modifications, Mystical Energy in his eyes no longer appeared as colored blocks but took on concrete forms.

For example, the prayers taking place on the fourth deck appeared in his modified eye as intricate threads intertwined.

Every eye on the worshippers was the head of a thread, these threads intertwined and eventually spread throughout the Star Jump.

It was like a giant web, wrapping the entire passenger ship within.

No wonder that as soon as he boarded the ship, he felt it was filled with Mystical Energy.

Judging by the way the threads were woven, he could vaguely identify the nodes of the Mystical Ceremony. The prayer ritual on the fourth deck had a very complex weave of threads; even if it wasn’t a core node, it was an important sub-core node.

At the current pace, he didn’t need to do anything. Just listening to this group of believers praying on the deck for ten days would easily complete Task Two of the reincarnation.

”President Li, are you alright?”

Wu Chang’s attention was drawn back by Park Changmin’s voice. He turned to look at Park Changmin and said:

”Watching them pray brings a deep peace within me. I was momentarily entranced and watched a bit longer.”

Park Changmin breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, ”If you can accept our prayers, then what I mentioned just now won’t affect you, I suppose.”

”What did you say?”

Park Changmin repeated, ”I said during this voyage we will conduct a grand prayer. According to the Pope’s calculation, this year Spiritual Energy has reached a peak unseen in nearly a hundred years, and there might be some anomalies during the prayer, but I hope it won’t disturb you.”

Prayer?

It might as well be a sacrifice.

Wu Chang nonchalantly said, ”It won’t disturb me, but on the day of prayer, I’d like to join in and observe up close.”

The day the New Cosmos Sect activates the Mystical Ceremony is bound to be when Mystical Energy reaches its zenith.

By participating, it would be far more convenient to complete Task Two of the reincarnation or to sabotage their plans opportunistically.

A flash of surprise crossed Park Changmin’s face. He didn’t expect that just by watching the believers pray once, Li Zaisi, who always held them in disdain, became addicted to watching prayers, as if a couple more times would directly lead him into the sect.

Is our religion really this attractive?

If I had known it would be this easy, there would have been no need to make such elaborate arrangements for the Star Heaven Group before.

”Of course, whenever you wish, the New Cosmos Sect’s doors are always open to you.”

After making the arrangement, Wu Chang stayed in the lounge for more than an hour until the believers on the fourth deck finished praying and entered the dining hall to eat, and then he reluctantly left.

In less than two hours, his eyes and ears had been completely polluted by Mystical Energy.

It’s a pity he realized it too late. Had he known earlier that even without initiating the ceremony, this effect could be achieved, he would have gathered all the Sword Star gang members, blocked the Star Jump at the port, and forced Park Changmin to pray for ten days and nights first.

Returning to the suite from Park Changmin’s place, Wu Chang saw Sword Star and the Negotiation Master had already returned.

Judging by their demeanor, they likely found nothing of value.

Since there were no leads, he’d help them find something to do.

Even the chaebol families don’t support idlers, you can’t just come up as bodyguards and do nothing, right?

He called the two into the suite’s office, took out a photo of the New Cosmos Sect’s emblem, tapped it with his fingertip, and asked them:

”Have you ever heard of the New Cosmos Sect?”

The moment Sword Star and the Negotiation Master saw the photo, their eyes went wide. As members of the Management Bureau, especially Sword Star, they were too familiar with this emblem.

They had spent the entire afternoon in the bar on the third floor without acquiring any serious information, only to return and see Wu Chang present them with such a big gift.

Sword Star replied, ”We’ve heard of it.”

Wu Chang said lightly, ”What’s your impression of them? I need the truth.”

In the eyes of Sword Star and the Negotiation Master, both seasoned players, when Wu Chang asked this question, it was as if a yellow exclamation mark appeared above his head.

This was essentially a live mission-giving NPC.

The two exchanged a glance, having the more skilled liar, the Negotiation Master, answer.

”We can’t draw specific conclusions about the merits of this organization, but as far as we know, wherever this organization goes, disaster and chaos follow without exception.”

Wu Chang intertwined his fingers, leaned back in the boss chair, and spoke in an indifferent tone:

”On the fourth deck of the Star Jump, there is a large number of New Cosmos Sect followers gathering. Their group activity seems to involve some kind of ceremony; go investigate it.”

Upon hearing Wu Chang’s words, excitement flickered in the eyes of Sword Star and the Negotiation Master.

The mission was indeed issued!

”Understood, boss!”

The way they called him boss was heartfelt.

Encountering a plane native in the Abyssal Game with strength, one who could offer convenience and provide clues about completing the main storyline, they wouldn’t hesitate to consider him not just as a boss but even as a godfather.

Watching the two full of energy leave the office, Wu Chang stretched mightily.

The Silent Route is a counter-dungeon, signifying more than one force exists within. He needs to oversee the entire situation and can’t spend all the time keeping an eye on Park Changmin’s side.
