Chapter 356: Game System: You Are Starting To Fall Into The Demonic Path! Chen Han: Huh?
Jiang Fa’er recorded all the images of that mecha, his face filled with excitement.
He had known that staying here in Linhe County, finding a long-term job, would definitely yield results.
This Chen Clan mecha was the best intelligence.
He had seen the Chen Clan mecha news before. Clearly many tourists had filmed it, yet somehow people online suddenly claimed it was fake.
At the time he had felt something was wrong.
Today he accidentally heard neighbors talking about the Chen Clan making four mechas, so he came at night to take a look.
The reason he came at night was because of his dark skin and black clothes. As long as he did not open his mouth and show his teeth, he was perfectly camouflaged in the dark.
He could now almost be certain that those videos online were meant to cover up and conceal the existence of these mechas.
It was just a pity they still had not managed to fool him.
As long as he brought this intelligence back, he could return to his own country with his father, and also bring his mother over. Both he and his mother could get green cards.
Although he was born in this country, and there were more and more people like him born here, he felt out of place with this country and still preferred the motherland his father spoke of.
Jiang Fa’er used the skills his father had taught him to the extreme, secretly following that mecha, filming more videos, and at the same time confirming that there were no people secretly guarding the mecha around.
After that, he took out from his body a fist-sized instrument.
In this situation, video alone was not enough. At the very least he needed to capture some of the internal condition of this mecha. This instrument was an electromagnetic impact interference weapon.
Once activated, it could interfere with the operation of all electronic devices.
No matter how good this mecha was, there must definitely be electronic devices inside. Once interfered with, it would stop operating.
That would be when he could obtain intelligence from this mecha.
However, he had to be quick. Otherwise, even if there were no guards around, once the mecha malfunctioned, their people would definitely rush over at once.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Fa’er threw the electromagnetic impact interference weapon in his hand at the mecha. It instantly attached itself to the mecha’s back.
The next moment, the weapon activated, and he could clearly see a stream of electricity running through the mecha’s entire body.
He did not hesitate and took another tool from his waist, a small cutting machine. As long as he cut open the mecha, he could see what was inside.
But when he rushed close to the mecha he froze.
The mecha actually moved again, even turned to look at him.
In that instant his eyes widened and he backed away in fright.
How could the electromagnetic interference weapon have no effect?
He had followed his father on missions and had seen him use it; its effect had clearly been terrifying.
Then his scalp went numb. He did not think he could possibly fight this mecha, and subconsciously turned to flee.
But he was too hasty and accidentally twisted his ankle, tumbling down the steps.
After rolling for some distance, Jiang Fa’er felt pain all over.
Fortunately, he had received his father’s training, so this level of pain was nothing.
But as soon as he got up, he was stunned to find the mecha was already in front of him, its metal arm reaching toward him.
Jiang Fa’er almost instinctively tried to dodge, but found he could not.
The mecha’s arm extended, seemingly slow but actually very fast, and then he found himself grabbed by the shoulder and lifted up.
“Ah, am I going to die?” Jiang Fa’er’s face changed drastically, filled with dejection. “Dad, I can never go back to the motherland with you and bring mom with us.”
But in the next instant, he was stunned to discover the mecha had slung him over its shoulder and was walking down the mountain.
He wanted to resist, but found the mecha’s strength was so great he could not resist at all, and could only watch helplessly as he was carried into the Chen Clan.
Moreover, as soon as they entered the Chen Clan Main Entrance, he noticed a fishy stench on his face. It seemed bird droppings had fallen on his face.
But how could there be bird droppings in the middle of the night, and why would they land right on his head?
That was far too accurate.
Before he could react, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. At the turn inside the Chen Clan, his head crashed straight into a pillar, and then he felt a hot flow gush out.
He reached out to touch it and saw glaring blood-red.
“Blood!”
Jiang Fa’er muttered, then directly fainted.
The Formation Guardian Puppet, however, noticed nothing. Carrying him, it walked forward, heading for the Chen Clan’s infirmary.
…
In the night, Chen Han walked through the Chen Clan with a frown.
After receiving the task that a Demonic Path expert had infiltrated the Chen Clan, he had been exploring within the clan, secretly searching.
But he had already walked the Chen Clan several times and found nothing, and the game system had given no prompt.
That meant the Demonic Path expert might not be inside the Chen Clan.
So late at night, could the other party be on the back mountain?
After all, the game system had said within the Chen Clan’s range, meaning within the Chen Clan there were still Merit Industry properties.
According to the game’s definition, Shangyuan Village did not count as within the Chen Clan’s range.
But the back mountain was so big. If the infiltrating Demonic Path expert was up there, how would he find them?
A truly troublesome fellow.
As Chen Han was thinking, a sudden game prompt appeared in his mind, making him pause.
【A Demonic Path expert has infiltrated the Chen Clan, and happened to be discovered by the Formation Guardian Puppet. They engaged in fierce battle, and the Formation Guardian Puppet has beaten the Demonic Path expert until his head is broken and bleeding, and has now captured the Demonic Path expert.
Congratulations, you have obtained a special reward: Demonic Path Secret Map!】
“???” Chen Han was stunned for a moment.
This was a bit too sudden.
What kind of Demonic Path expert was this? Too easy to deal with, right?
As he was thinking, his mobile phone ringtone sounded. The caller ID showed the infirmary.
He answered in confusion. Why was the infirmary calling him at this time?
After he picked up and heard the voice on the other end, he was stunned again. “What the hell? It brought back a seriously injured person? His head is broken and bleeding?”
Chen Han hung up and hurried toward the infirmary. Had the Formation Guardian Puppet really beaten someone until their head was broken and bleeding like the game system prompt said?
But that should not be possible. He had set the Formation Guardian Puppet to not harm life.
So it should not be able to beat someone until their head was broken and bleeding.
Not knowing the details, Chen Han simply headed to the infirmary to see the situation first.
On the way, he also looked at the Demonic Path Secret Map in the game warehouse reward.
From the name alone, it was clearly a Demonic Path item.
But since it dropped from a Demonic Path expert, it was no surprise it was something of the Demonic Path.
【Demonic Path Secret Map: This seems to be a supreme treasure of the Demonic Path, but there are special Demonic Path runes on it that require absorbing sufficient demonic energy to unseal. Current demonic energy collection progress （0/100000!）】
Chen Han was dumbfounded at this remark.
Was the game system messing with him? It gave him a reward, but with this demonic energy collection restriction.
He had endured the resentful energy and ten thousand essence blood requirements before, and now he had to collect demonic energy?
The key point was that the previous collection targets had all been ten thousand, and now it was directly one hundred thousand.
So Demonic Path items had this many restrictions?
He knew what demonic energy meant, but how was he supposed to collect it?
Go to the Demon Realm?
Chen Han could only give up complaining and withdrew his gaze. Before long, he arrived at the infirmary.
“Patriarch!” The Chen Clan Member guarding the infirmary greeted him respectfully when he arrived, then added, “After the mecha put him down, it left.”
“Patriarch Chen.” The on-duty doctor also greeted him politely, his voice likewise carrying a trace of respect.
This infirmary of the Chen Clan existed because of county-level documents, and they were technically under the county hospital’s name, but the pay here was higher than at the county hospital, as the Chen Clan provided a bonus.
So many county doctors were willing to come. The three on-duty doctors and several nurses had all gotten in through connections.
And the scene just now had left him a bit dazed. After all, a mecha had delivered an injured person here; that sight made his brain shrink for a moment.
A mecha could actually do this, as if it had intelligence.
“Where is that person?” Chen Han asked.
“On the bed inside.” The on-duty doctor immediately led the way into the infirmary.
Chen Han saw the man and his brows furrowed at once. He had facial features tending toward a person from Eastern Greatness, but his skin was very dark.
An immediate sense of disgust and revulsion rose in him.
This Demonic Path expert was actually a second-generation black person.
So-called second-generation black persons were those whose black slave parents had come domestically from their own country after being unable to survive there. These black slaves, after coming to Eastern Greatness, acted recklessly and arrogantly, not obeying our laws, and even dared to make unreasonable trouble with our compatriots.
It could be said these black slaves were the most hated group among domestic people, yet they were strangely very popular with certain groups of women.
Some women demanded wedding gifts of hundreds of thousands from compatriots, but had pure giving mindsets toward these black slaves, even taking pride in having a black slave boyfriend and showing off in Moments all day.
In short, this group of women threw themselves at them without the slightest bottom line.
Thus, this had led to the birth of many second-generation black persons.
In some places, second-generation black persons were already rampant.
According to online data, last year alone the number of second-generation black births reached three hundred ten thousand.
The ratio compared with our native infant births had already reached 2%, and was heading toward 5%.
Thinking of this, Chen Han sighed a little. Did this count as the prosperity of the Demonic Path?
Almost as he was thinking this, a game prompt appeared again:
【Game new module loading… system has detected a new data packet fragment, data packet （3） data fragment is being collected…】
“…” Chen Han really could not keep a straight face.
What the hell was this data packet （3）?
This could trigger collection too?
In that brief time, the unconscious Jiang Fa’er groggily woke up, memories of being carried by the mecha and finally smashing his head open surfacing in his mind.
At that thought, he jolted awake, then looked grimly at the scene before him. One person was a doctor, the other two seemed to be from the Chen Clan.
During his time lurking in Linhe County, he had learned how formidable the Chen Clan was. He absolutely could not afford to provoke them. So his eyes shifted and he immediately put on a confused look and asked, “Excuse me, what happened to me? Why am I here?”
Chen Han felt disgusted seeing his act. He directly used the Joyous Union True Word Technique, looked at him, and asked, “Who are you, what are you doing here at the Chen Clan, and why were you brought here?”
Jiang Fa’er’s gaze clearly went dull for a moment, then he began to speak honestly. “My dad is a great black man. He is a powerful spy. I want to take him as my role model and contribute to the motherland across the ocean.”
“Today I came to investigate the situation of that mecha. As long as I bring this information back, my dad and I can take my mom back to the motherland across the ocean, and help my mom and me get green cards.”
“I originally wanted to use an electromagnetic interference device to scrap that mecha’s electronics, but unexpectedly it did not work, and in the end I was brought here by that mecha.”
These words made Chen Han’s face grow dark, and even the on-duty doctor could not help cursing, “What a damn piece of trash!”
But he then quickly turned to look at the Chen Family Head in shock.
This second-generation black person was clearly a spy. The Chen Family Head had only asked a few questions, and he had obediently confessed everything. This was clearly abnormal. No one would believe it had nothing to do with the Chen Family Head.
After finishing, Jiang Fa’er also realized what he had done. Thinking of how he had just revealed things that should never be said, his back went cold as he stared at Chen Han. “You… you… what did you do to me?”
Chen Han could not be bothered to say another word to him. He slapped him across the face, directly knocking this second-generation black person unconscious.
Now there were three groups he suddenly felt extreme disgust for: black slaves, women who threw themselves at black slaves, and second-generation black persons.
There were so many five-hundred-thousanders in the country now, and so many traitors online. These people should make up the majority, right?
It made sense. For an outsider black slave, it would already be good if they did not cause trouble; among them there must be many spies.
And as for the group willing to throw themselves at these black slaves, their virtue was obvious at a glance. They were definitely extreme worshippers of the foreign, the type who would drop to their knees the moment a black slave said he could take them abroad.
Such women believed the moon abroad was rounder and the air sweeter.
Their second-generation black offspring went without saying. Under such a worldview, even if they grew up on this land, they would be second-rate traitors.
Was that not exactly what he saw now, a spy family?
“Notify the tourist station and have them take him away.” Chen Han instructed the Chen Clan men. He could not keep such a person in the Chen Clan, nor could he dispose of him in front of outsiders. He could only hand him over to the authorities.
As he had expected, Minister Ma and the others could not possibly cover up the mecha matter by relying only on internet throttling.
Who knew how many five-hundred-thousanders like this second-generation black person there were.
“Alright, Patriarch.” The Chen Clan Member nodded and immediately took out his mobile phone to call.
After the tourist station people arrived, Chen Han left and at the same time looked into his mind to modify the settings of the Formation Guardian Puppet.
For example, next time it encountered one of these black people attacking them, it should directly break three of their legs.
As for other things, he should adjust them slightly too. For instance, the mecha in Ming Di’s updated animal-mediation videos was also an issue.
He had not carefully considered the rule of protecting life. They could not be rushing to protect insects in the mountains every time their lives were threatened, or ants and such. That would be ridiculous.
Protecting squirrels and such was fine. That could create an image of loving peace and respecting life.
There were also matters like people in the Chen Clan slaughtering pigs and chickens, which also needed detailed rules.
Otherwise, if a clansman was slaughtering a pig and a puppet suddenly rushed in to rescue it, that would be very awkward and very absurd.
While modifying the settings, he returned to his own courtyard, took a shower, then went to the Family Cave Mansion, took out an intermediate spirit stone, and began cultivating with the upgraded qi cultivation method of the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture.《 》
He cultivated until the alarm clock rang the next day before coming out to the Special Spiritual Aperture to cultivate.
When he finished cultivating at the Special Spiritual Aperture, he could not help showing joy on his face.
He was just a little bit away from connecting his Opening Meridians progress with his dantian, which would greatly boost his strength.
This made him want to go back into the Family Cave Mansion to continue secluded cultivation immediately, but Mr. Liu called early in the morning.
The other party had arranged everything for their trip to the Star-Spangled Nation. Thinking about it, he decided to go there first and satisfy the Demonic Path Puppet’s requirement to collect ten thousand essence blood.
“Patriarch Chen, I have arranged the flight. You can just go straight there,” Liu Ye reported as soon as he saw Chen Han arrive at the parking lot.
“Alright, Mr. Liu, handle it as you see fit.” Chen Han nodded.
The car Liu Ye had arranged started up, left the Chen Clan, and headed for the highway out of Linhe County.
What surprised Chen Han was that this time Mr. Liu was driving an electric car, apparently the most expensive model.
There had been a lot of heated debate online about this electric car, with much arguing against users of fuel cars.
This was his first time riding in such a car. He had never bought a car and did not know much about them, but just the sofa-like seats alone were very comfortable to lie on.
After leaving Linhe County, the car headed for the Xiamen International Airport. When they checked in, Chen Han was truly surprised. He did not need to personally go through any security checks along the way. It seemed Mr. Liu had gotten him a fake identity.
And the airplane turned out to be a private jet. By the time the plane took off, unless someone was monitoring him twenty-four hours a day, no one would know he had already left the country, with no record left behind.
As for someone monitoring him twenty-four hours a day? No such person existed, or at least no one could monitor him without being noticed by him.
This was Chen Han’s first time going to the Free Nation. He did not have many feelings about it, but what was interesting was that it had been daytime when departing from Xiamen, and it was still daytime when arriving in the Free Nation.
The plane’s destination was the central city of the Free Nation, the one where disasters always happened in movies.
But while the plane was still in the air, he could already see from above the streets outside the airport, filled with people marching, then chaos, clashes…
Thanks to the vision he had gained from consuming so much Moon Gazing Sand, he could clearly see smoke bombs and incendiary bombs appearing on the streets. The scene was extremely chaotic.
The banners left him stunned. It seemed some Big Boss Arte had allocated himself a terrifying amount of funds during severe economic hardship for the nationals, which had aroused much anger.
【You suddenly discover you have come to a region where demonic energy is rampant. The demonic energy here is actually more terrifying than in the Demon Realm. The Demonic Path Secret Map’s demonic energy collection progress is increasing rapidly…】
【Congratulations, the Demonic Path Secret Map collection progress is complete. Current collection progress （100000/100000）.】
【Game new module loading… system has detected a new data packet fragment, data packet （3） data fragment is being collected…】
“???” Seeing these two game prompts, Chen Han was utterly dumbfounded.
This worked?
The key was that in the blink of an eye, he found the collected demonic energy was already sufficient.
It had only been that short of a time.
He had thought that because of this demonic energy collection requirement, he would have to go to the Demon Realm, and that collecting demonic energy would not be easy.
Yet it turned out to be this easy?
Was the demonic energy in this Free Nation really so dense?
And this data packet （3） had appeared again. After demons and immortals, could （3） be related to the demon category?
Almost at the same time, another game prompt appeared:
【The Demonic Path Secret Map’s demonic energy collection progress is complete. Do you want to remove the Demonic Path rune restriction?】
Chen Han had been curious what Demonic Path item the system would give this time when he first got this thing. Now there was nothing to hesitate over; he directly chose yes.
In the next moment, the game system continued:
【Congratulations, the Demonic Path rune restriction on the Demonic Path Secret Map has been removed.】
【While you are feeling surprise at removing the Demonic Path Secret Map’s restriction, you suddenly sense something is wrong. Within the Demonic Path Secret Map, a trap rune had been set. This Demonic Path Secret Map is a trap.
A streak of black light instantly drills into your body. It is actually a Heart of the Demonic Path. In an instant, you feel waves of demonic energy surging toward you. A phantom sky demon appears within your consciousness, beginning to tempt you to refine the Heart of the Demonic Path.
You have begun to fall into demonhood!】
“???” Chen Han subconsciously looked at his own palm.
He had fallen into demonhood?
How had he fallen into demonhood?
