“Yes.”
Melz nodded, "Regrettably, there's still no known way to deal with the Gray Mist. We can only wait for the gods to quell their anger."
“I just didn’t expect it to appear in Water Moon City.”
“I wonder which talent has the audacity to offend the gods. Now, all the residents of Water Moon City are migrating outwards. Let’s just hope the Gray Mist will invade later rather than sooner.”
Jiang Han didn't speak, thoughtfully stroking his chin.
This matter...
Could it be related to me?
Leaving aside the statue incident, even the old codger Fire God and the Undead Divine Phoenix were killed. If we're talking about who offended the gods the most, it seems no one else really compares.
'However, the Fire God is dead after all. Although I'm not sure if the gods have other means, if it's really related to me, it should be descending on Wind Leaf City instead.'
Jiang Han thought to himself, considering it again and again, he still felt it was unlikely.
However, he always felt that this matter wasn't that simple.
Among so many main cities, why did the Gray Mist descend on Water Moon City, and why did it appear precisely when there were suspected clues to a divine artifact?
“What? Are you going to Water Moon City?” Melz raised his eyelids and asked.
“I do have this idea.” Jiang Han nodded.
“I knew it.”
Melz sighed softly, with an expression that said 'as expected'. He slowly got up from the rocking chair, "In that case, I'll reluctantly accompany you on this trip."
Jiang Han looked at him with some surprise.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand, you don’t have to pay. The Supreme Hall asked me to investigate this matter today, otherwise how would I know about it? However, I'm still considering it.”
“Since you dare to go, I might as well take a trip as well.”
“That couldn’t be better.” Jiang Han nodded.
The Gray Mist is still very dangerous.
Plus, if it touches upon the realm of the gods, one must be even more cautious.
After all, the power of the Fire God Hephaestus is still vivid in his mind; a casual roar could deal hundreds of thousands of damage.
Although Jiang Han's main purpose this time is to go for the divine artifact, and he doesn't intend to directly confront the Gray Mist, it's always safer to have a god-level expert by his side.
“Then, shall we meet again tomorrow?” Jiang Han smiled.
“Tomorrow?”
Melz was stunned, this was not in line with the young man’s style.
The previous few times, he would just leave, so free and unrestrained.
“Need to prepare, the road is quite far.” Jiang Han said.
“That's fine, I'll see if the Supreme Hall has any teleportation arrays left there.” Melz nodded.
Jiang Han left the courtyard.
The reason for leaving tomorrow is actually nothing more than the fact that his game time is almost up.
After logging off.
Jiang Han took out his phone, found the string of numbers at the top of his contact list, and dialed.
“Night Frost, do you need anything?”
A sweet voice came from the other end.
After reaching a deal with the Great Xia official, Jiang Han naturally didn't need to hide his identity too much.
Although his real-world identity has not been spread, some people in Great Xia's official circles know.
This communications specialist specifically responsible for communicating with him is clearly among them.
“I need relevant information about Water Moon City, mainly about the 'Gray Mist', the more detailed the better, send it to my forum account as soon as possible.”
Jiang Han didn’t waste any words, stated his purpose in a few words, and hung up the phone.
Soon, a file was sent over.
Jiang Han opened the file and, relying on his photographic memory, browsed through it at an astonishing speed.
“Holy crap, what's around Water Moon City? It loses health like crazy when touched, seems to be percentage-based health loss, I died directly inside, brothers, don't go over there, it's too scary!”
“Damn! Why didn't I see this message earlier, I died and came back too.”
“Damn it, is Water Moon City going to be destroyed? Even the NPCs are carrying luggage and running away from home.”
“It’s over!”
“I rely on, I remember the Emerald Forest wasn't polluted this morning, but it's been swallowed by more than half today, this mist is too awesome, which boss released the biochemical weapon?”
“At this rate, I'm afraid it won't last a few days.”
“Brothers, I'm going to leave first, if I don't leave, I'm afraid Water Moon City will be covered by then, and the resurrection point is still inside.”
“……”
Like Melz said, not only NPCs, but even the players in Water Moon City have noticed the existence of the Gray Mist and started to flee.
Moreover, the Gray Mist is spreading very fast.
In addition, among the many messages, there are a few scattered ones mentioning that the Gray Mist had actually appeared a few days ago, and some NPCs had been infected.
“It seems that this Gray Mist really has nothing to do with me, I was overthinking it.”
Jiang Han relaxed a little. The time when those NPCs were infected with the Gray Mist was before he even entered the Fire God Temple. Obviously, it wasn't caused by the smashing of the Fire God statue, thereby arousing the anger of the gods.
Moreover, at that time, the range of the Gray Mist was not extensive, only a few NPCs who went out to mine were infected, which didn't cause too much of a sensation.
It's just that I don't know why, this morning, the Gray Mist suddenly began to spread on a large scale, and the target seemed very clear, that is, it was spreading towards Water Moon City.
“Gods…”
Jiang Han closed the file thoughtfully.
After thinking about it, he contacted the official again with a phone call.
This time, what he asked for was some information about the gods in various main cities.
The file wasn't too big, because the statistics mainly included the comments of various players on the forum, as well as some special discoveries by official personnel.
But the topic of gods itself is special, even with the intelligence obtained by the official, there wouldn't be too much.
Jiang Han didn't have much hope himself.
But what he didn't expect was that he could easily extract some useful information from it.
[On the Dark Shadow City side, it seems that something is wrong with the altar. A group of NPCs are gathering there, wondering what they are doing?]
[Brothers, amazing discovery, outside Silverlight City, I found a statue glowing, damn, I don't know if it's a BOSS, it directly sent me back to the city, don't go there.]
[Why can't I go to the southwest suburbs of Biye City? And there's an extra statue, which NPC boss set the boundary?]
[……]
A total of more than a dozen scattered messages were accidental discoveries by players, but they didn't attract much attention, because there were too many unusual things in “Doomsday”.
But Jiang Han knew very well that the statues they mentioned were likely related to the gods.
Looking at the message statistics, the earliest message was no more than three days ago.
That is to say…
It was exactly the time node after the Fire God Temple shattered.
One or two messages might be a coincidence, but so many messages are intriguing.
Plus, the Gray Mist in Water Moon City is related to the evil god.
No matter how you look at it, it's unusual.
Jiang Han tapped the table slowly with his fingers, thoughtfully:
“These so-called gods…”
“What exactly do they want to do?”
