Chapter 134: The Light of the Talisman Breaks the Spiritual Array and Exorcises the Evil Spirit
Zhen Lingyue interrupted coldly, "Shut up and concentrate. This mission is more dangerous than you can imagine. We can't afford to slack off!"
At that moment, even the air in the car seemed to freeze.
I closed my eyes, regulated my breathing, and forced myself to clear my mind of distractions, focusing on the compass in my hand, which trembled constantly. The needle on the dial jumped erratically, as if controlled by an invisible force. Here, I was gradually approaching the source of this otherworldly power.
The convoy stopped at the valley's entrance. What greeted them was a deadly forest, with withered trees and a chilling wind. It was as if all life had been stripped away, leaving only the danger lurking in the darkness like a venomous snake.
"The yin energy here is too strong," I said slowly, hanging the bronze mirror on my chest. My tone was cold and firm. "From now on, everyone, please keep quiet and do not touch anything. This area has long been eroded by the power of another world. The slightest carelessness could lead to uncontrollable consequences."
Zhen Lingyue's gaze was like a knife, sweeping across the entire team. He waved his hand, signaling them to disperse and stand guard. Every word he spoke carried an undeniable aura: "No matter what happens, follow closely and obey orders! This is no ordinary battlefield; it's an unprecedented battle for national destiny!"
Following the compass's guidance, I walked deeper into the woods. The air temperature plummeted, and streaks of faint blue light appeared on the ground, vaguely forming a strange array of symbols. "Spiritual Realm," I whispered. "The center here is the intersection of forces from another world."
"Can it be sealed?" Zhen Lingyue asked in a deep voice.
I shook my head. "The talisman array here is a hundred times more complex than anything I've seen in the laboratory. Unless we draw upon the power of nature, we can't cut off this energy flow."
"The power of mountains and rivers? You mean - borrowing the power of heaven and earth?" Zhen Lingyue frowned slightly, but there was no wavering in his eyes.
I didn't answer. Instead, I pulled the Bagua bronze mirror and soul-guiding sand from my backpack, carefully placing them on the ground. Under the night sky, I raised my head and spoke in a low, powerful voice, "The moon's light guides us, the mountains and rivers aid us, and the spirits of the Five Mountains serve as our blade. We only have one chance."
Zhen Lingyue took a deep breath and said in a tone as hard as steel: "You are responsible for summoning the spirits, leave this to us. Team members, guard every entrance, there is no retreat today!"
The incantation was deep and ancient, and the bronze mirror in my hand gradually began to glow. Moonlight streamed down from the night sky, transforming into a beam of light that enveloped the bronze mirror. A powerful force began to gather in the air, and the talisman formation in the distance began to tremble violently like an enraged beast. "Here it comes!" Zhen Lingyue shouted, his weapon already poised for impact.
The team members stood in unison, their guns trained deep into the shadows. A deep roar shattered the silence, and indistinct shadows began to emerge from the darkness. They resembled smoke and fog, yet exuded a suffocating sense of oppression. "Stop them! Don't let Luo Shu interrupt his spell!" Zhen Lingyue's voice was like thunder, suppressing the fear in everyone's heart.
At this moment, the special operations team discovered during their guard that the dark rose mark on the shoulder blade of every person who had been attacked gradually showed a faint light under the influence of this valley, and there was a faint resonance between them.
At first, everyone thought it was just the influence of the power of another world, but when team member Zhou Ming accidentally approached the center of the valley's talisman array, his mark actually emitted a dazzling red light, and then turned into a thin beam of light, pointing directly to the depths of the talisman array.
"These marks aren't simple curses." I opened my eyes, my voice low and rapid, "They're some kind of high-dimensional sigils, deliberately implanted within the body to form energy nodes."
Zhen Lingyue's expression suddenly changed: "Energy node? Who can achieve this level?"
I gritted my teeth. "It's Country M's 'Rose Mysterious Organization.' They're using the laws of nature, combined with the essence of Eastern I Ching and Feng Shui, to construct a high-dimensional energy network using talismans in an attempt to manipulate our national destiny."
Zhen Lingyue's eyes were like knives: "Control the fate of the country? Why do they think they can dominate our lifeblood?"
"They don't need domination, they only want destruction. They believe that by interfering with our national destiny, they can maintain their lead in the global game." I gritted my teeth. "This is not just magic, but a conspiracy that combines cutting-edge technology with ancient laws."
When the power of the moonlight and the spirits of the Five Mountains converged in the bronze mirror, the power of the talisman array was finally suppressed.
A huge light gate appeared in the center of the rune array. Inside the gate was a strange space with metal structures and runes intertwined, full of a fusion of high technology and mystery.
"Their base!" Zhen Lingyue looked at the light gate, his face livid. "So, this is the hub where they bring in the power from another world?"
"That's right," I whispered. "This is the core of the entire plan. They're using sigils to build a network of nodes within human society, ultimately converging their energy in an attempt to break down the barrier between this world and the otherworld."
Zhen Lingyue narrowed his eyes: "How to destroy it?"
I looked up at the light gate and took a deep breath. "The only way is to reverse the activation of the array and let all the energy flow back. But I... must become the center of the array."
Zhen Lingyue instantly grabbed my arm, his voice low but filled with undisguised anger: "No! Don't joke with your life!"
"There's no other way." I said with a firm gaze, "If we don't completely destroy the Rose Organization's core, they'll trigger an even greater disaster next, even directly shaking the foundation of the nation."
Zhen Lingyue clenched his fists tightly. His voice was low and hoarse, but full of reluctance: "Okay. In that case, I will protect you until the last second."
When the soul-guiding sand was sprinkled into the center of the formation, I was drawn into the tunnel of light and entered the center of the formation. Suddenly, there was silence between heaven and earth.
The Bagua bronze mirror rose up, the rune array began to reverse, and the entire base fell into violent shock.
An old yet cold voice suddenly rang out from the light gate at the center of the talisman array: "What do you think you can change? The fate of a nation is like the tide, and no one can reverse it. Your efforts are but a futile attempt to stop a chariot."
"Stop talking nonsense! This is definitely not a place for you to do whatever you want!"
I gritted my teeth and roared, chanting the last spell:
"All gods and demons, obey my command!
Yin and Yang are reversed, and the five elements collapse.
The talismanic light gathers evil spirits, disturbing the peace.
I use chaos to start a new order,
Melting the sun's blazing power and the moon's condensed breath,
Gathering the wrath of thunder and the fierceness of the earth,
Command the gate of light to be broken into powder,
Scattered in the void, the curse is complete, broken! "
Then he sprinkled the last bit of soul-guiding sand into the center of the formation. The bronze mirror burst out with a dazzling light, completely destroying the core rose.
In the final impact, I felt an invisible force tearing at my soul. A huge impact force burst out from the center of the formation, and I felt my body being swept by tearing pain.
When everything returned to calm, the base completely collapsed, and the power of the Rose Organization finally dissipated.
The rose marks on the patients' shoulder blades gradually dimmed after the talisman array disappeared, and eventually turned into dust and drifted away, as if they had never existed.
But just when my consciousness was blurred, Zhen Lingyue suddenly rushed over and pulled me out of the formation with a pair of strong hands.
Ancheng, since I left on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year,
Huang Junze and my mother haven't heard from me for three whole days.
They were in a panic.
The first thing my mother thought of was to contact my master.
After the call was connected, she asked anxiously, "Mr. Ping, has Luo Shu gone to your place? There has been no news for three days. What is she doing?"
The master was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "She is completing an extremely important mission involving state secrets that cannot be disclosed. Don't worry, she knows her limits."
But the four words "very sensible" have no comforting effect on a mother.
After my mother hung up the phone, she was anxious but calm. She paced around the house, thinking about various possibilities, her eyes full of worry and concern.
Huang Junze sat to the side, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white from exertion, his face clouded with gloom. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stood up: "I'll go find her."
Huang Junze first went to the underground passage to find Chen Feng.
When he pushed open an iron door of the underground passage, Chen Feng was meditating under the dim light, his figure like a solidified statue in the darkness.
Hearing the noise, he raised his eyelids, glanced at Huang Junze, and then closed his eyes again as if nothing had happened. However, the slightly tense corners of his mouth revealed that he was not calm inside, as if he had already expected this encounter.
"Have you seen Luo Shu these two days?" Huang Junze went straight to the point, his voice filled with suppressed anger, his gaze looking as if it wanted to burn two holes in Chen Feng's body.
"No." Chen Feng looked up impatiently, meeting Huang Junze's gaze, but quickly looked away, muttering, "Where did she go? How could you not know?"
"You better not be playing any tricks." Huang Junze took a step closer, emitting an icy aura. "If you lie, I won't forgive you if anything goes wrong."
"It seems that even you don't know any news about her, which means her mission is still in progress. Bureau 749, you know..." Chen Feng's tone was light, but mysterious, and his attitude was unquestionable, but his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, and the subtle movement revealed his guilty conscience.
Huang Junze stared at him, his fists trembling slightly, a tremor of anger and helplessness. Finally, he sneered: "It seems you know a lot."
Chen Feng did not respond, but lowered his head and immersed himself in meditation again. However, his disordered breathing showed that his heart was far from being as calm as he appeared.
Huang Junze knew that he could not get anything more out of him, so he glared at Chen Feng fiercely, turned around and walked away quickly. The soles of his shoes made a rapid sound when they hit the ground, and he was thinking about his next step in his mind.
Huang Junze knew about the "749 Bureau" and also knew the name Zhen Lingyue.
But he had no idea about the mission Zhen Lingyue and I were carrying out.
After some thought, he knew that this matter was of great importance and conventional methods would not work. Without hesitation, he rushed to the 749th Bureau in the capital.
He knocked on the door and was stopped by several heavily armed soldiers.
"Non-staff members are prohibited from entering." The soldier's voice was cold.
"I want to see Mr. Chen." Huang Junze did not give in, his eyes showing determination.
