Tang Xiong, Anping County Investigation Corps instructor, Platinum-rank investigator, and advanced fighter who later turned into a support-oriented advanced instructor.

A member of Xinghai Province’s Huiwu Investigation Corps more than 20 years ago. He had once gone deep into a dark fog-caused demonic disaster with a small team to investigate the cause of the disaster.

After that, the team was wiped out, and he was the only one who came back alive. Because he had been injured, he was sent to Anping County’s Investigation Corps to become an instructor.

The demonic disaster had been in a secret realm in Yaoguang City, which was the closest to Anping County.

Therefore, he was also known as the hero of Anping County’s Investigation Corps and had always been a role model within the corps.

Over the decades, he had trained many excellent investigators and solved many hidden dangers of the secret realms.

His background seemed to be very simple. He was an orphan who had failed the college entrance exam and later joined Xinghai Province’s Huiwu Investigation Corps.

This was the information that Wang Ye knew.

All along, he had never doubted it.

The first person he had met after transmigrating to his world had been Tang Xiong.

He had been under the other party’s care a lot.

The other party had also been the one who had saved Xiao Jiu.

At first, he had found it a little strange. But later, when he found out about the relationship between Tang Xiong and his parents and confirmed after investigating that it was true, he never suspected the other party.

He also never found any problems.

Wang Ye only knew that the high-level strange god was hiding in Anping County and probably had a high status. It could also be someone from the Investigation Corps.

But Wang Ye never suspected that it was Tang Xiong.

He had even thought that it was Lin Rou…

Until…

Until yesterday, when he wrote down all the information he obtained from the simulations and read it over.

He discovered a problem and had doubts:

Why was it that he was killed every time only after Tang Xiong died?

Why did Tang Xiong have to sacrifice himself to save him every time?

He had a strange feeling as if the other party wasn’t saving him for the sake of saving him.

But, he had only been doubting.

Later on, he had run a script simulation for Xiao Jiu and obtained another chance to run a reality simulation, but the dark fog had erupted by then, so he didn’t have the time to do it again.

His doubts could only be resolved from reality.

Until this time, he chose to walk on a path that seemed like a dead end and didn’t leave.

Instead, he chose to return.

Wang Ye quietly looked at the huge shadow in front of him.

Under the highlight, its outline appeared very strange. He couldn’t tell its shape.

But he could vaguely see that it was a person.

The tentacles formed by the shadow surged into a human face, emitting waves of strange low cries.

A powerful and strange aura kept surging from its body.

“What a pity,” The shadow let out a series of strange sounds. “I could have ended the show perfectly, and he could have been freed. Why did you choose to destroy it? However, I find it interesting that he saved your life, but you still came back to die. I just don’t understand.”

“Saved me?” Wang Ye stared at the latter, “However, you won’t let me off, will you?”

“Hmm?” The shadow paused for a moment and made a strange sound, “Interesting, you know about me? Impossible, how could you? If you knew my detailed information, you wouldn’t have survived until now.”

Wang Ye said in his heart, “I have simulated it so many times and have always killed, so how could I not know? Indeed, if I had investigated about you, I wouldn’t have survived until now.”

“Did you come back because you suspected Tang Xiong?” The shadow said in a surprised voice, “Even if you know me, why would you suspect a person who would sacrifice himself to save you? Something is really wrong with you, human.”

Wang Ye was silent, but continued in his heart, “I’ve been saved so many times by you. If it was only once or twice, I think I can somehow understand it, but to come to save me in every simulation as if to complete some kind of ritual, I don’t think I can understand that.”

“I’ve led such a perfect life, but to think you suspect me in the end. Hahaha…” The shadow laughed.

Its laughter sounded like it was crying at the top of its voice, but it also sounded like it was crowing in high spirits. It was just irritating.

“I originally gave you a chance to live a little longer. Now it seems that…”

At this moment, Wang Ye gently patted Xiao Jiu.

The dazed Xiao Jiu came back to its senses.

In the next moment, it burst out with a clear cry!

An imposing manner instantly appeared on its body. It soared. As it did so, its body began to gradually grow bigger while it danced gracefully. The feathers all over its body seemed to have turned into scarlet golden armor.

King’s Prestige, Sky-dance, Free-size, and Feather Coat.

Under the effects of Shine Upon the World, Xiao Jiu turned into a ray of light that burned with raging flames.

“This is the Bright Scalding Flame! It seems that you did meet that sword in the Sealed-demon Sword Tomb,” The shadow let out a low, strange laugh.

The shadow’s tentacles started emitting waves of eerie dark fog, forming mirror-like walls of dark fog in front of it.

Wang Ye didn’t waste any more words.

At this time, even though he still had some questions in his heart, he should probably get rid of the other party first.

The mirror demon phantom was a high-level strange god.

According to the records in the diary, this strange god didn’t have a very strong combat strength, but it could easily bewitch the hearts of people, causing their minds to be shaken.

Once such a situation occurred, its powerful spiritual power would instantly crush the human, and even replicate into the mirror image of the human, possessing all the abilities of the human!

The situation this time was different too.

They were in the dark fog which was even more dangerous.

There was no need to waste words.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu, who had transformed into light, charged over like a meteor.

The high-speed blazing light flames instantly melted the countless low-level strange gods around them!

“Good, good, good! As expected of the next human that I’ve set my eyes on. Your body does indeed possess a special talent! To think you can nurture a mere green sparrow to this extent in less than half a year! This is very surprising!” The shadow seemed to be both surprised and delighted!

Seeing Xiao Jiu’s current appearance, he was even more pleasantly surprised than Wang Ye.

Wang Ye was taken aback.

F*ck, he had been wondering why the high-level strange god had always wanted to kill him in the reality simulations. It turns out it was treating him as the next target to mirror image?

F*ck!

Wang ye finally understood.

Boom!

Under the boosts of the skills Shine Upon the World, Free-size, Sky-dance, Feather Coat, and King Prestige, as well as the double characteristic amplification from Strange God Nemesis and Flame-like Light Blade, the power of the Divine Light Flame Strike seemed to cut through the darkness of the strange fog, erupting with an incomparable terrifying power!

The dazzling light had a soul-stirring beauty!

The attack pierced through the fog walls formed by the shadows and pierced through the body of the shadow!

Rumble!

The white-gold blazing flames instantly submerged the shadow!

However, the surrounding strange gods swarmed towards Wang Ye like a tide!

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu, who had destroyed the shadow with a single attack, immediately turned around and charged back toward Wang Ye.

At this moment, the shadow suddenly exploded, and only a wisp of ghostly black flames burned in the center.

The density of the dark fog eruption immediately increased, causing the surrounding strange gods to let out strange howls as they became excited and instantly surrounded Xiao Jiu.

“Be careful!” Wang Ye shouted, “Don’t worry about me for now!”

However, at this moment, it was as if it didn’t hear Wang Ye’s voice. It only flew straight towards him.

The Divine Light Flame Strike of the great success realm was extremely powerful.

It almost destroyed the high-level strange god.

But at the same time, Xiao Jiu was also heavily injured.

Moreover, according to Wang Ye’s understanding, the shadow could absorb other strange gods to revive.

Especially in the dark fog, where the situation was even worse.

“After I go back, I still have to strengthen my own combat power,” Wang Ye looked at the surrounding strange gods and made up his mind.

Although his Deep Memory talent didn’t have much combat power, he could still learn some other abilities.

It was time to release the white python.

Wang Ye took out the white python and found that the little thing was still sleeping.

In the distance, Xiao Jiu, who was surrounded, was getting closer and closer to him.

He was still within the radius of Shine Upon the World, so the strange gods couldn’t get close to him for a while.

“What a pity,” In the distance, the black flame in the center of the shadow floated slightly, letting out faint sounds, “It seems that you don’t know much about the dark fog. Compared to those humans, you’re still too weak. Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘strange gods are the dominators of the dark fog’? This pet can only do so much.”

The black flame flickered slightly.

The halo surged, and countless low-level strange gods began to surge out of the door once more, rushing toward the black soul flame.

Shadows once again appeared…

And the number of strange gods around Wang Ye increased.

Wang Ye patted the white python.

To be honest, he didn’t know how the white python saved him in the simulation.

But it was time for the big shot to hurry up and show itself!

If it didn’t come out now, he would be dead!

“Chirp!” At this moment, Xiao Jiu, who was in the distance, once again erupted with blazing light and rushed towards Wang Ye.

Its entire body was burning with raging flames. Xiao Jiu rushed to Wang Ye and frantically massacred the strange gods around him.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jiu, who had been greatly injured, had no chance to use Feathery Habitat to recover. As more and more strange gods appeared, its aura also became weaker.

“This won’t do. That fellow recovers very quickly…” Wang Ye looked at the shadow in the distance, “Xiao Jiu, can you do it again?”

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu let out a low cry.

It could, but the consequence of forcefully using it in its current state could be very dangerous.

This was not the most important thing. Most importantly, if it was down and Shine Upon the World lost its effect, Wang Ye would quickly be swallowed by the strange gods.

“Don’t worry, just use it,” Wang Ye said in a deep voice.

The current situation was different from the simulation. The battle in the simulation had been outside the explosion of the dark fog.

Now, the battle was inside the dark fog, the territory of the strange gods.

The difference was huge.

Seeing that Wang Ye insisted, without hesitation, Xiao Jiu once again used the Divine Light Flame Strike.

The meteor-like light once again cut through the darkness, instantly destroying the shadow that had just been formed. Only a black flame was left, like a candle in the wind, floating slightly.

At the same time, Xiao Jiu was burning with a faint light.

“Chirp!” It turned its head to look at Wang Ye, its eyes filled with longing.

It did not care about its own safety and rushed back.

During the process of rushing back, its light gradually weakened, and its body gradually became smaller.

In the end, it turned into an egg that fell into Wang Ye’s arms.

At the same time, the effects of Shine Upon the World quickly disappeared.

The only light in this endless darkness disappeared.

“It’s useless,” A low and hoarse voice came from within the black soul flame.

Wang Ye’s expression was heavy.

Xiao Jiu had triggered Nirvana and turned into an egg. Even though he was in a bad mood, Nirvana could resurrect Xiao Jiu and make it stronger.

Therefore, as long as he could destroy the other party, everything would be fine.

Wang Ye put Xiao Jiu’s egg into the spatial sphere.

He picked up the white python.

The surrounding strange gods roared, laughed, and charged at Wang Ye angrily.

“You do have another snake…” The shadow once again said in a hoarse voice, “Unfortunately, with my understanding of you, no matter how talented you are, you don’t have the resources and ability to nurture another powerful pet in such a short time! Not to mention, that bird of yours can even restrain us. It’s quite different.”

Wang Ye did not answer. He just stroked the white python’s body. At this moment, his heart suddenly calmed down.

In a trance, he seemed to have remembered something.

He stared at the white python and said in a low voice, “Do you want to repeat the same mistake?”

As his voice fell, the white python’s body suddenly moved slightly.

Its eyes abruptly flew open. The original innocence and obedience were no more, there was only an iceberg-like coldness and loneliness.

Its snow-white body seemed to be controlled again as it flew out of Wang Ye’s arms. Under the endless light, it gradually changed its form…
