Chapter 211 Revenge

"Butterfly Effect Stabilization?!"

Upon seeing this line of text, Yan Junze immediately realized that after he completed the "Reflection Under the Moonlight" mission, the Atlas had activated the "Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion" function.

This function was extremely terrifying and was privately referred to by Yan Junze as "Great Rewind".

However, the original introduction to the "Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion" function stated that it was advisable to wait for the next function to be unlocked and to pair them together before using it.

Therefore, Yan Junze, although very curious about this function, had patiently waited without daring to use it recklessly.

Now, this "Butterfly Effect Stabilization" was clearly the skill that was meant to complement "Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion".

Feeling a surge of excitement, Yan Junze immediately used Inner Vision to look at the introduction of "Butterfly Effect Stabilization".

["Butterfly Effect Stabilization," this function allows the host to change something at a certain point in the past and ensure that the change does not cause a butterfly effect, nor will it affect the future timeline. To be used in conjunction with Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion.]

[Note: Even with Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion and Butterfly Effect Stabilization, it is still necessary to wait for the right space-time rift to appear to use them together.]

[Would you like to spend 1000 Different Dimension Energy points to detect a space-time rift now?]

"Holy shit! Is this energy free or what?" Yan Junze was startled.

He hadn't expected that just one detection of a space-time rift would consume 1000 Different Dimension Energy points, and it wasn't even sure that anything would be detected.

That is to say, after spending 1000 points of energy, it was possible that nothing would be found.

After thinking it over, he decided it didn't matter if he just tried it out.

Who asked him to have just completed two "hair-raising" level missions? He now had the capital to splurge.

As the thought occurred to him, a long stretch of timeline within the Spacetime Atlas instantly dimmed, followed by an invisible energy ripple that spread out fiercely from Yan Junze as the center.

About four or five seconds later, a vibrating sensation came from a certain point.

Yan Junze felt that place clearly.

At the same moment, a text message popped up in his mind.

[Detected a space-time rift, located in the pine forest behind Tianmeng Science University, the rift is currently at its peak and will start to weaken after 4 a.m., and is expected to disappear around 11 p.m. tomorrow night.]

Yan Junze raised his head and looked through the window in the direction of the university's pine forest.

According to the detection, there was a space-time rift there now, which would disappear tomorrow night.

Was it possible for him to utilize this space-time rift at the moment?

"Great Rewind? To use a space-time rift for a Great Rewind, just out of sheer curiosity, would be ridiculously idle," Yan Junze muttered to himself.

There was nothing else to do in this laboratory building now, just tidy up Shen Wanqiu's corpse without anyone finding out.

If he really wanted to use the Great Rewind, he had to think about what he could actually do with it.

Yan Junze had no immediate plans to leave; he walked over, removed the mop blocking the laboratory door, then closed the door, and came back to sit in the chair he had been in before.

Gazing at Shen Wanqiu's headless female corpse on the ground, with the odd smell from the body entering his nostrils from time to time, he began pondering seriously.

The only mission he had left was "Revenge," a mission that was obviously very special—taking revenge for Shen Wanqiu by killing Cheng Jingting.

Let's not even mention helping Shen Wanqiu for now, Yan Junze himself wanted to take down that disgusting guy.

However, the mission faced several problems now, the first being that Yan Junze had no idea where Cheng Jingting lived, was it in Tianmeng District or outside of it?

Of course, he could call Tang Zhengyi for help with a search.

But that would be obviously too exposing, if Tang Zhengyi had just informed him of the other party's address, and then Cheng Jingting suddenly got killed, Tang Zhengyi might guess that the guy's death was related to Yan Junze with just his toes.

Moreover, even if Yan Junze knew where Cheng Jingting was, he couldn't guarantee that he could easily kill him. After all, the man was a Spirit Cultivator, capable of raising Corpse Spirits like Shen Wanqiu, so his strength couldn't be too weak.

"Corpse Spirits?"

Yan Junze was stunned for a moment, thought for a bit, then picked up the phone and called He Yun, his contact in the Exorcist team.

According to what He Yun had said before, as long as Yan Junze needed to find her, she would be available 24 hours a day, and for He Yun, she was the 24-hour personal secretary for the Exorcists.

However, judging by the voice coming from the other end, it was clear that He Yun had been woken up from her sleep.

"Hello, sorry to disturb your sweet dreams, He Yun," Yan Junze apologized.

"Hmm, go ahead," He Yun's tone showed no displeasure; being disturbed in her position was not uncommon for her.

"I want to ask you, is there any danger involved in the process of refining a Corpse Spirit?" Yan Junze asked.

As the liaison for the Exorcists, He Yun's knowledge about strangenesses must be very broad, even more than an ordinary Exorcist.

Moreover, her position gave her access to a large amount of data on strangenesses, which she could consult if necessary, and provide answers immediately after searching through them.

If there was information that even He Yun could not find, it was either core secret or even the Exorcist team itself did not possess it.

After hearing Yan Junze's question, He Yun did not look up any information but immediately replied, "Of course there is danger. A Corpse Spirit is formed through the refining of zombies consuming at least one strangeness. During this process, the Corpse Spirit needs to recognize its master, and only by doing so will it not turn on the master immediately after its formation."

"Through what does it recognize its master?" Yan Junze asked.

"By drinking that person's blood, even a drop is enough," He Yun said.

"Are there other dangers?" Yan Junze asked again.

"During the process of refining a zombie," He Yun thought carefully, "Actually, zombies all have very strong and deep grievances because no one would want to become that sort of being. So, in other words, there is always a certain chance that zombies might turn on their masters, it just depends on whether there are conditions to trigger it."

"Like what conditions?"

"Such as during the refining process or right after they are refined, if they are doused with black dog blood, drink virgin boy's urine, see sunlight, or lock eyes with a black cat."

Yan Junze repeated it and asked, "That's it?"

"Hmm, that's about it," He Yun paused and then inquired, "Did you find someone cultivating a spirit?"

"Seems like... yes," Yan Junze did not hide it, "If possible, I will take care of this guy."

He Yun reminded him, "Usually, in such cases, our incident team would send a squad to investigate, and if the person is confirmed to be doing evil, they will be immediately eliminated. But right now, we are short-handed due to a special event that occurred, and I don't recommend you going alone."

"Perhaps I'll just investigate first and not rush into action," Yan Junze hung up the phone.

He looked up again in the direction of the pine forest of the academy and muttered to himself, "Black dog blood, virgin boy's urine, sunlight, and... a black cat."
