Chapter 255 Soul Pollution
It was only then that the first-generation director of the Secret Bureau realized that this place was more serious than he thought.
On the one hand, he asked people to provide emergency rescue to the seven injured people. On the other hand, he sent people to block the entire Uncursed Road, and no one was allowed to enter without orders.
After a lot of work, the two wounded finally returned to normal and began to describe the specific content of the operation.
Of course, the content is top secret and has not yet been declassified.
Except for the top brass of the Secret Bureau, no one knew exactly what they encountered during that exploration.
I couldn't help but feel a little regretful when I saw this.
If you think about it carefully, the experiences of more than a hundred masters on the Uncursed Road must be extremely incredible, even the kind that subverts the worldview.
Otherwise, the Secret Bureau wouldn't still be refusing to lift the ban.
Anyway, my guess is that it has nothing to do with the undead zombies.
Because the Secret Bureau is preparing to disclose the existence of undead souls and zombies, there is no need to keep an exploration record from that year secret.
After this incident, the Secret Bureau temporarily stopped exploring the Uncursed Road.
Until China's national power became stronger and stronger, there were many masters of the Secret Bureau.
Even the demon-suppressing force has expanded to more than 12,000 people.
So we began to gradually dispatch manpower and explore step by step.
Because of the tragic lessons that happened that year, they only dared to explore near the Uncursed Road and never went too deep. As a result, evil spirits such as the Unsinkable Corpse in the Underworld, the Human-Faced Moth, and the Water Ghost of the Styx were gradually discovered.
Based on later exploration data, the Secret Bureau divided the Uncursed Road into three parts.
The first part is also the relatively safe part.
This is about 300 to 700 meters underground.
Entering along the Uncursed Road, you will soon encounter an underground river.
The river stretches as far as the eye can see in the darkness, and I don’t know where it is flowing.
This is the famous River Styx.
Going downstream along the Styx River, at a depth of about three hundred meters, there will be a vast underground space.
This is called the first section of the Curseless Road, also known as the life and death section.
The general meaning is that in this place, going up is life and going down is death.
The range of the life and death section is very large. According to the sound wave detection, it is about three hundred kilometers in radius.
In fact, this data is very inaccurate because the terrain of this underground space is extremely complex and there are many echoes caused by sound wave detection, so there are certain differences in imaging.
Moreover, over the years, the Secret Bureau's exploration team has only explored a radiation range of less than fifty kilometers at most. The simple topographic map in the data refers to this place.
Because this is an underground world, and the yin energy is very strong, it breeds many extremely powerful demons and evil spirits.
The famous Yellow River Unsinkable Corpse and Styx Water Ghost both like to wander here.
In order to figure out the distribution of evil spirits within this fifty-kilometer radius, the Secret Bureau did not know how many lives it paid.
The second section is called the evil ghost section.
After about 500 meters depth.
At 530 meters, the rushing Styx River was bound by the terrain and formed two tributaries.
One of the branches leads to Fengdu, and the other branch runs through eighteen underground spaces, which are the famous eighteen levels of hell.
The Secret Bureau has experts who are not afraid of death and have explored these two tributaries.
However, due to the accident in the last exploration, the masters of the Secret Bureau did not go to war, but adopted a team infiltration mode of three to five people.
At this point, the casualty rate for each exploration reached more than 50%.
This is also the only fixed passage into the Middle Earth in Fengdu besides the natural retrograde passage.
If the Dharma Ending Age comes, the Uncursed Road will definitely become a battleground for military strategists. But the third section is recorded in the data as an unexplorable section.
Because after bypassing Fengdu and the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the closer you get to the underground, the human mind will experience a certain amount of chaos and madness.
Just like a resentful soul affected by resentment, it will gradually become crazy and violent, and will have symptoms of visual and auditory hallucinations.
You must know that the exorcist's soul is extremely powerful, and it is basically impossible to be disturbed by hallucinations.
The occurrence of this situation shows that there is something that can affect the soul in the deepest part of the curse-free path.
It is worth mentioning that it is not just the demon-suppressing soldiers in Middle-earth who are affected.
Even Fengdu or the Eighteenth Level of Hell will be contaminated by souls from time to time.
Well, the data records that this phenomenon is called soul pollution.
Even in the deepest parts of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, such as the City of Fusi, the entire city has become a severely polluted area. Even the ghost soldiers in Fengdu will forcibly disperse each other's souls when they see it.
It is a pity that due to the existence of soul pollution, the Secret Bureau's exploration of the curse-free path ends here.
The unexplorable section has become the most mysterious section of the Curseless Road.
Except for the seven exorcists who were lucky enough to come back alive, only the top brass of the Secret Bureau knew about it.
After I read the introduction about Curseless Road, I opened the other folders and analyzed and considered them carefully.
Soon I made another discovery.
The soul pollution in the deepest part of the Uncursed Road is gradually expanding outward every year.
Every time it expands, the living space of the Eighteen Hells and Fengdu will be compressed.
According to the information obtained by the Secret Bureau, in about three hundred years, Fengdu and the Eighteen Hells may no longer have a place to stay.
The prison masters of Fengdu and the Eighteen Hells are also aware of this problem, so they have to start planning for the future now.
As for what to do?
Of course Chaoyangshi expanded.
Soul pollution compresses our living space, and we have no choice but to compress the living space of living people.
Originally, Yangshi was not suitable for the dead souls to survive during the day, but there was nothing we could do about it.
The space in my life has been completely compressed, and I can only move towards the Yangshi.
It's amazing that everyone behaves like a turtle. They hide and tuck themselves in during the day and come out to play around at night.
But later, the arrival of the Age of Dharma Ending gave Fengdu and the Eighteen Hells a chance.
Because after the arrival of the Age of Ending Dharma, the yin and yang aura of the Yang world will gradually change, and this change will block part of the sun's light.
This also means that after the end of the Dharma Age, evil ghosts and resentful spirits can also appear during the day without having to worry about being killed by the sun.
This discovery surprised Yama of the Tenth Palace in Fengdu.
They immediately expanded their ambitions. From the beginning, they changed from the idea of secretly living in a deserted land and only daring to appear in the middle of the night to conquering Middle-earth.
As long as the Middle Earth is eliminated, Fengdu can be rebuilt on this land.
At that time, the underground world will be given over to those people who don’t know what they are doing.
I won’t play with you anymore.
Therefore, with the advent of the Age of Ending Dharma, the relationship between China and Earth, Fengdu and the Eighteen Hells has become increasingly tense.
To put it bluntly, it is all about survival.
I was a little surprised when I saw this.
I am also more curious about the so-called soul pollution deep underground.
What on earth is it that allows the powerful Fengdu to tolerate the erosion of his territory a little bit, and even has no intention of resisting?
And from this point of view, the conflict between Zhongtu and Fengdu may still have to fall on that strange soul pollution.
