A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 199: Leaving and Delving Deep

Ten Ghost Gods.

Baiyu wasn’t clear about the definition of "Ghost God." If it referred to ten fierce ghosts like before, he should be able to handle them easily. But if it were monsters like the eyeless giants walking through the city, even if he fought with all his might, it wouldn’t even be a snack for them.

Let’s give it a try.

Baiyu glanced at the nearly scrapped vehicle and activated the Scholar Secret Technique — Mechanical Realm, which was a separate storage space for mechanical equipment.

He kept many mechanical parts in there regularly.

Repairing the vehicle wasn’t complicated; it only took a little over ten minutes for Baiyu to fix it. He then officially became a taxi driver and drove towards the city.

Baiyu’s thinking was simple.

Ten Ghost Gods, just be a taxi driver and pick up ten people, and it’s done, right?

It seems.

Everyone in this area was transformed by the Ghost Gods, picking up one and killing one, extremely efficient, and no need to worry about being surrounded by the ghosts in crowded places.

Very soon.

He drove the newly repaired taxi into the city, but not a single business opportunity occurred for half a day. As he wandered through the city, he discovered that this entire place was enveloped in a black mist.

Everyone in the city seemed to move naturally.

But upon closer inspection, one would find that these people all exuded strangeness; in short, they were not normal people.

No passengers to pick up.

Helplessly, Baiyu resorted to the previous method of intercepting taxi drivers. After consecutively killing three fierce ghosts in this way, he couldn’t even find another taxi driver.

Only four taxi drivers in the whole city?

Baiyu didn’t believe it.

A more reasonable explanation was that these monsters were not without intelligence; they could think for themselves, seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

Fortunately.

The three fierce ghosts he hunted down should count as Ghost Gods.

Because the whispers in his ears had changed, from "kill ten Ghost Gods" to "seven more needed."

The direction was right.

Baiyu was more motivated and also more cautious, as he discovered many terrifying existences in this city, some of which only needed a distant glance to raise Baiyu’s Pollution Level.

After such hard labor.

Several more hours passed.

Through various deceit and tricks, sinister moves and the like, Baiyu successfully slaughtered ten Ghost Gods. Each Ghost God’s death was followed by a wisp of black air flying into the Black Moon Mark.

After slaying ten of them.

The entire Black Moon Mark emerged from his skin, glowing with a hazy, sinister light. Baiyu gently caressed it as another whisper echoed in his ears.

"Leave... Go deeper... Leave... Go deeper."

The two words repeated over and over.

Baiyu contemplated the meaning behind the whispers and then thought to himself, "Leave."

The Black Moon Mark suddenly radiated dazzling brilliance.

He was entirely enveloped in black moonlight and vanished instantly from where he stood. His brain experienced a faint dizziness, and his eyes couldn’t open at all while wrapped in the black moonlight.

When he opened his eyes again.

Outside the Tenth District!

Everything around him was so familiar, the Tenth District, he had returned to the entrance!

Before he could catch his breath.

Lin Shan bounded over like a rabbit, holding a video communication device, her face filled with excitement: "He’s out, City Lord Yuwen, Baiyu is out!"

It was indeed something to celebrate.

Among so many people, Baiyu was the first to come out of the Tenth District alive, surely able to bring back valuable information!

Not only Lin Shan.

Outside the city.

Yuwen Ba and the group of officials, researchers, and scholars from Maple Leaf County behind him all erupted in excitement, seeing a glimmer of hope in this hopelessness.

Baiyu brought exactly that precious spark of hope.

"Don’t rush, Baiyu, take your time to explain, what was the situation inside?" Yuwen Ba couldn’t wait to enter the city himself and question Baiyu, but he now understood that this matter couldn’t be hurried.

Back at the makeshift tent.

Baiyu took a sip of Coke to calm his nerves, then faced over a dozen video broadcasting software with a somber expression:

"The situation inside the Tenth District is very special.

First of all.

No communication devices work, and I mean none at all. As soon as you go in, some communication devices will fail.

Second, it’s impossible to enter together.

Tang Xiaoyu and I went in together, we were even tied together with a rope, yet once inside, she disappeared completely. I didn’t notice how she vanished, nor do I know when she disappeared.

Lastly.

The environment inside is not the Tenth District.

I don’t know if it’s an Illusion Technique or other Spirit Techniques, but the scenes I saw were of a city filled with demons and grotesque creatures.

Some monsters just required a glance to increase a person’s Pollution Level.

At the same time.

You can’t glean any information or knowledge from them... Such existences are beyond human understanding, logic, or comprehension."

Baiyu explained in detail.

The scholars, experts, and mysticism researchers outside the city were thrown into turmoil.

Especially the last point Baiyu mentioned left them completely baffled.

Everyone knows.

An increase in Pollution Level is due to obtaining knowledge from some terrifying, ancient beings that are unattainable for human understanding at the human life level, human mindset, or worldview.

Pollution Level.

Is actually a process of being homogenized.

The more you delve into research, understanding these pieces of knowledge, your body and spirit will increasingly converge towards those ancient beings, but human life’s essence limits your upper limit, preventing the correct, perfect transformation.

Anomalous entities, that’s how they come into being.

It’s a straightforward principle, a species can’t possibly transform into another completely disparate species in an instant.

"Also, I managed to come out because of sheer luck, the situation inside has little to do with strength. To be blunt, anyone of you who goes in will die." Baiyu added.

He could come out.

Entirely due to the Black Moon Mark.

Without a Black Moon Mark, one can only be trapped inside, thinking of breaking through with force? The eyeless giant Baiyu saw, with terrifying power, was still trapped inside.

He conducted an experiment inside.

Any object.

As long as it was thrown into the black void at the city’s edge, it would be instantly obliterated, whether a Ghost God or other dead objects.

Baiyu’s words left everyone silent.

Sometimes not knowing the truth is better, as knowing it only makes reality appear even harsher.

Yuwen Ba’s thoughts clashed rapidly in his mind; he then gritted his teeth and said, "Baiyu, is there really no way to resolve this? You are now the only person who can come out, and I hope if you have a way, you can bring back more information. Even prevent the street’s expansion; during your time inside, the street’s area expanded tenfold."

"Linjiang City has a population of over ten million."

"Their lives are now in your hands!"
