Abyss Sequence

Bang!

Yan Luo swung a punch, directly piercing through the torso of a deadly monster.

The deadly monster let out a wail, instantly fainting, its body collapsing to the ground, convulsing continuously.

Looking at the fallen deadly monster, Yan Luo exhaled a breath of turbid air and withdrew his stance.

Now, besides his physical strength, he also possessed magnetic field power.

With the strengthening over the past few days, Yan Luo's body's magnetic field had become increasingly powerful, now boasting a force of 2000 Gauss.

Just now, he added magnetic field power to his punch, thus able to pierce through a deadly monster's torso.

He controlled his magnetic field to disperse the monster's magnetic field, causing its muscles to relax and even its muscle density to decrease, allowing Yan Luo to punch through the monster's body instead of directly blasting the hit area apart.

Yan Luo felt he was on the right path because as his physical strength increased, his body weight was also steadily rising.

Even though his body structure had been optimized multiple times, to exert greater strength, he still needed more muscles.

Now Yan Luo's weight exceeded three hundred kilograms, posing some difficulties in daily life.

Therefore, continuing to enhance muscle strength would only make Yan Luo's body heavier and his physique larger, possibly leading him down the path of a mutated creature, exchanging size for immense strength.

Yan Luo was unwilling for this to happen, as it would isolate him from human society, completely transforming him into a species unrelated to normal humans.

He didn't know how his ancestors solved this issue, perhaps identity transformation was not something they found difficult to accept.

Yan Luo couldn't easily accept the identity transformation as they did, leaving him very troubled.

Thankfully, with Sasa's help, he discovered the path of magnetic field power, otherwise, Yan Luo would have to keep strengthening his body.

Now he could use magnetic field power to attack, so the next step was to use magnetic field power to enhance his body; as for how to enhance it, Yan Luo already had some ideas.

Picking up the fainted monster, he lunged at its body with a bite.

Yan Luo bit into the deadly monster's body, causing it to wake up in pain. Just as the monster was about to scream, Yan Luo inserted his hand into the monster's wound, using his magnetic field to alter the monster's internal magnetic field, rendering it unable to cry out in pain.

It was as if a hand was gripping the monster's heart tightly; whenever it tried to make a sound, its heart would cramp in pain.

To save its life, the monster would rather endure the pain.

Yan Luo's digestive system swiftly converted the monster's blood and flesh into the biomass and magic power his body needed, giving him a clearer direction for enhancement.

Next, he needed to explore inward, making every breath he took, every heartbeat, and even every nerve response drive the operation of his internal magnetic field, keeping the magnetic field's enhancement ability on his body at all times, turning its operation into instinct.

At the same time, he also needed to enhance the bioelectricity generated by his cells during activity, as this current was the foundation of his strong magnetic field.

As long as bioelectricity could be enhanced, the magnetic field would naturally grow stronger, even if the bioelectricity generated by each cell during activity was only slightly enhanced, it would amplify across the entire magnetic field, marking a significant progress.

Now Yan Luo could already sense the magnetic fields on other people, and it might not take long before he could use magnetic field power to interpret the information represented by changes in others' magnetic fields, reaching a rough level of mind-reading.

Furthermore, he could also use his magnetic field to receive electromagnetic waves scattered in the air, enabling him to read the information carried by those electromagnetic waves.

By then, he might abandon personal terminals, relying solely on his own abilities to use signal towers to send messages to others' terminals.

Just the thought of it made Yan Luo a little excited.

......

As time passed bit by bit, more and more Hunters gathered in Lingquan City, and the city's residents suddenly found that having an Abyss Entrance within the city was actually no big deal.

As so many days passed, not a single demon managed to breach the military's defensive line constructed within the abyss and re-enter Lingquan City.

On the contrary, because of the urgent preparation for war, many industries in Lingquan City saw an opportunity for thriving development, and many people's wages were increased.

The external Hunters also brought quite a bit of extra consumption to Lingquan City, after all, most Hunters spent money lavishly, and if they ran out, they would head into the abyss to earn more.

As for dying in the abyss...well, if they died, they died, no big deal.

With the military and police keeping a close eye, the Hunters didn't get a chance to cause trouble outside, so the citizens of Lingquan City found that aside from the initial casualties caused by the arrival of the Forbidden Demon Abyss, it actually brought a considerable income to Lingquan City.

As for the families of those who perished due to the arrival of the Forbidden Demon Abyss, the authorities gave them quite a bit of compensation, and many chose to remain silent.

Even though loved ones had died, life had to go on.

Only a few continued to voice concerns, but their words lacked strength. Many who originally supported them returned to their regular lives, leaving only a few still speaking out.

Lingquan City returned to its original calmness, even becoming a bit more lively than before.

The city government hadn't even had the chance to do much when public opinion gradually faded.

However, beneath this calm surface, there was an undercurrent brewing.

The Abyssal Believers seemed to want to seize this opportunity to make a move, and the police and military joined forces, having already dismantled three Abyssal Believer hideouts.

At this critical juncture, the gathering of Abyssal Believers within Lingquan City was undoubtedly for some purpose.

Furthermore, their actions were so organized and disciplined, indicating that someone was directing them.

The She Family had been expelled from Lingquan City, and now high-ranking Abyssal Believers had arrived and even gone into hiding within Lingquan City.

This left the Lingquan City Government with a headache.

The existence of the Forbidden Demon Abyss posed both a threat and an opportunity; it depended on whether they could seize the opportunity.

If they grasped it well, the existence of the Forbidden Demon Abyss could serve as a tool for Lingquan City's development and growth. If they made some wrong decisions, Lingquan City might suffer serious setbacks.

While the Lingquan City Government was struggling with joy and worry, researchers from various universities came flocking in.

They were there to study the Forbidden Demon Abyss and explore the reasons for its formation!

However, just as the scholars were arriving one after another, an incident occurred, causing some scholars who had planned to visit Lingquan City to reconsider.

—A prominent scholar researching the abyss was murdered in the hotel where they were staying!

Although the perpetrator left no writings, anyone could guess that the assailant aimed to stop the scholars from researching the abyss.

......

"It's the Abyssal Believers."

Upon hearing the news of a prominent scholar being murdered, You Yifeng immediately made a judgment.

He was sitting in the canteen of Fortress No. 2, surrounded by his team members.

One team member asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

You Yifeng smiled but didn't reveal his reasoning.

Up till now, only a few people knew he was once an Abyssal Believer, and his team members were unaware of his past allegiance.

You Yifeng's judgment came from his deep understanding of the Abyssal Believers, whether it's the Watcher Sect or the Believer faction, he knew them well.

This murder was undoubtedly the handiwork of the Believer faction, for they alone would adhere to 'unknowability,' and in the eyes of the Believer faction, the abyss was a divine gift, so naturally, they would be enraged by mortals wanting to study the divine creation.

It was only the fanatics of the Believer faction who would engage in such senseless acts; the Watcher Sect...it wasn't You Yifeng trying to praise them, but the Watcher Sect's Abyssal Believers were indeed much more rational than those of the Believer faction, every move they made was as precise as a scalpel, never wasting a bit of effort on futile acts.

"Think about it, the Abyssal Believers, they are religious fanatics. Given that, if a group of people wishes to study the divine, would the Abyssal Believers allow it?"

Upon hearing this, You Yifeng's team members exchanged glances, collectively shaking their heads.

You Yifeng smiled, "Doesn't that make it clear? This matter must have been done by the Abyssal Believers!"

Even if it wasn't, the city government would make it 'be.'
