1874 Learning
“Alright.”
Fang Heng nodded.
At present, the members of the Mundt Gang had scattered to avoid the Federation’s pursuit. They would regroup with them after a period of time.
The trouble was that there was also pollution in the real world.
If there were Sloth’s believers, would Jealousy’s believers also be in the real world?
Fang Heng felt a sense of urgency.
In addition, there were unexpected gains on this trip.
If he could ally with Sloth’s believers, he would have more confidence in dealing with Jealousy.
It would be best if he could find a few more useful trump cards.
Gu Qingzhu piloted the car all the way to the nearest train station.
“Where are we going next?”
“I haven’t decided yet. The black fog released by the phantom shadow rat can block perception. It can help us affect the tracking accuracy of the Federation’s imprint. The Federation can only lock onto a rough area of our range. According to my estimation, it’s about 500 kilometers in radius.”
“This is good news for us. However, the shackles on our bodies are still there. We are not completely safe yet.”
Gu Qingzhu thought for a moment and said, “I want to find a place with a high population density for six days, such as some large cities. On one hand, large cities are densely populated and suitable for us to hide so that the Federation can’t accurately locate us. On the other hand, in a densely populated city, the Federation will also be worried about the spread of pollution to the public and won’t take radical action.”
Fang Heng pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense.
The Federation’s tracking system was not completely ineffective. It was just that the accuracy had been reduced by dozens of times, and they could only lock onto a certain area.
In that case, it would be impossible for him to hide in the Necromancer Association. He couldn’t bring trouble back to the Necromancer Association.
It was better to follow Gu Qingzhu’s instructions to save trouble.
After all, Gu Qingzhu had plenty of experience dealing with the Federation.
Too many things had happened since he killed the two people from the Holy Court last night. In fact, only one day had passed.
Fang Heng needed some time to organize his thoughts.
Fang Heng opened the window and looked at the scenery outside. Suddenly, he thought of something. He looked up and asked, “There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you. I was handling some troublesome matters and I didn’t have the time to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“The first time I saw you, you were seriously injured. You were ambushed by the Federation, right? I’m curious, what were you guys doing at Haines School?”
Gu Qingzhu was silent for a moment.
Fang Heng saw that Gu Qingzhu still had some misgivings about him, so he did not force her. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it. Pretend I didn’t ask.”
Gu Qingzhu pursed her lips and was silent for a few seconds. Then, she asked, “Do you still remember what I told you about us demi-humans being imprisoned by the Federation and forced to undergo experiments?”
Fang Heng frowned.
The Federation had once conducted inhumane human experiments on demi-humans.
He had also seen some related reports on the Dark Net.
Now, it seemed that these things were all true.
“Yes, I remember.”
“After the incident was exposed, the Central Federation quickly blocked the news. Under the pressure of the demi-humans, all the research institutes and laboratories that were targeting the demi-humans were demolished, and the relevant person-in-charge were punished.”
“It seems that everything has fallen to the ground. What is laughable is that a few years ago, we discovered that the experiment was still going on. Instead of being open, they moved it underground. Right now, a lot of demi-human beings are still being persecuted by Federation!”
“The Federation is secretly conducting a higher-level demi-human experiment. We found out that some of the research was split up and disguised as being subcontracted. It was awarded to an expert project team in Haines School for research.”
“The project team doesn’t know that this research is related to the demi-humans. Only the contact person of the project, the honorary principal of Haines School, Shao Guorui, knows about it. Our people entered Haines School because they want to infiltrate into the project team and investigate the secret laboratory for demi-humans.”
As Gu Qingzhu spoke, she clenched the steering wheel in her hands tightly. Her cold eyes were filled with anger.
“Fang Heng, they have never reflected on their actions.”
Fang Heng said softly, “I’m sorry.”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Gu Qingzhu took a deep breath and stared ahead, “It’s my problem. This time, it was my lack of experience that allowed the Federation to discover something. I even made my companions pay the price with their lives.”
Fang Heng turned his head and saw that Gu Qingzhu’s eyes were a little red.
Tears welled up in Gu Qingzhu’s eyes.
The sacrifice of her companions made her feel guilty.
Fang Heng patted Gu Qingzhu’s shoulder gently.
“This is not your fault.”
Gu Qingzhu did not expect Fang Heng to comfort her. When Fang Heng felt her, her body trembled slightly.
She did not dodge or continue to speak.
After a moment, Gu Qingzhu’s emotions eased a little. She continued, “Fang Heng, you’re not good at comforting people, but thank you.”
“Uh…”
Gu Qingzhu composed herself and asked, “What about you? How did you know Xia Xi?”
“Speaking of which, you might think that I’m lying to you.”
Fang Heng shook his head and said, “To be honest, most of my previous memories have disappeared. I only remember that I went through some kind of ritual. I only have a few memories of the ritual. In the images, I saw Xia Xi. I don’t remember anything else related, nor do I remember the promise I made with Xia Xi.”
“After that, I entered the world of Watts. It was there that I learned that the ritual I had experienced was associated to the demonic seed. I almost died there.”
As he spoke, Fang Heng laughed at himself, “But it seems that my luck is not bad. The demonic seed ritual on me has succeeded.”
Gu Qingzhu asked, “Why did you come to Haines School? When I saw you that night, were you captured by the Federation? Did they find out your identity?”
Recalling the situation at that time, Gu Qingzhu felt a little strange.
If the Federation found out that Fang Heng was a demonic seed, they would definitely take a more stable action. They would not have captured Fang Heng so easily.
“Yes, I happened to be in some trouble. When you saw me, I was being investigated by the Federation.” Fang Heng shrugged and continued, “As for going to Haines School, it’s to study.”
“My academic foundation is relatively weak. I haven’t gone through systematic learning. Secondly, I’m a little lost about my future path of improvement. I just desired to learn systematically and settle down, hoping to find a clear learning path. I didn’t expect…”
Thinking about it carefully, he had even paid a lot of tuition fees in advance at Haines School and bought a lot of course materials.
This identity was completely useless now.
The tuition fees and teaching materials were all wasted.
What a loss!
Fang Heng was sighing when he realized that Gu Qingzhu had fallen silent for a long time.
“Hey, why aren’t you talking? Do you think I don’t look like I’m here to study?”
“No, it isn’t.”
Gu Qingzhu reflected for a moment and viewed up, “What you just uttered reminded me. I thought of a place. We should be able to safely pass the remaining six days there.”
Gu Qingzhu glanced at Fang Heng from the corner of her eyes and said, “And it won’t affect your studies.”
“Oh?”
