1563 Cooperation
The other party was not a member of the Revolution Society, and he was not possessed by the demon. However, the speed and strength of his body were not inferior to that of an ordinary demon! A single strike from the rod could shatter the thick wall of earth he had condensed!
In just one exchange, Cole realized that he was no match for Fang Heng!
In a moment of desperation, Cole immediately used a teleportation spell to teleport a distance away. His right hand pointed at the green crystal beside him and shouted, “Wait! No matter who you are, stop! If you don’t stop, I’ll destroy the crystal! At most, we’ll all be in trouble together!”
Fang Heng, who was closing in on Cole, frowned. He could not help but stop in his tracks, his gaze focused on the green crystal beside him.
Indeed, he did not want to experience the pain of being controlled by Hell Faram again.
“I am Fang Heng. I will give you one more chance. Who are you?”
Cole gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’m a member of the Conservative faction. I have no enmity with the Fallen Ones faction. There’s no need to fight. Moreover, it’s useless even if you kill me.”
Fang Heng was stunned.
He had thought that Cole was also a member of the Revolution Society. He did not expect him to be from the Conservative party.
“Tsk.” Seeing that Fang Heng had stopped, Cole felt a little relieved. He shrugged and continued, “Are you surprised? How did you find me?”
“This is the secret area of the fifth basement of the Revolution Society. You need a magnetic card to enter this place. Professor Yanu told me that Sheng Tao doesn’t allow anyone else to enter this place.”
“Also, the vampire’s barrier erupts at an extremely fast speed. It’s very difficult for normal people to react and retreat to a safe area in such a short period.”
Fang Heng looked at Cole and said, “Most importantly, as a defenseless researcher, I don’t see you showing any panic.”
Cole pursed his lips.
Indeed.
He had been careless.
He originally thought that he was a Fallen One that could be easily manipulated, so he did not take him to heart.
How could he have thought that a ruthless character would barge in from outside?
Cole raised the device on his wrist. He said, “Alright, I won’t lie to you. I’m from the Conservative party. My name is Cole. I snuck in here to investigate the Revolution Society. The watch on my wrist is worn by researchers and has a positioning function.”
Fang Heng stared coldly at Cole and said in a deep voice, “Continue.”
“You should have heard things about the Conservative party, right? In short, the Conservative faction received news that the Revolution Society was secretly researching something in the Snowy Mountain Manor.”
“I accepted the mission from the Conservative faction. I thought of a way to disguise myself as a researcher and come here to investigate. Coincidentally, today I found out that your Fallen Ones legion wanted to take advantage of Sheng Tao’s absence to launch a surprise attack on the manor.”
“So I took this opportunity to sneak into the sixth basement. I wanted to see the situation of Hell Faram and obtain some information.”
“I think you know what happened after that. Hell Faram suddenly went berserk, so I quickly hid in the safe zone until I saw you barge in.”
Cole quickly recounted what had happened to him, then looked at Fang Heng and said, “Now, it’s your turn. Tell me, what’s the situation in Hell Faram outside? Why did they suddenly riot? Was it done by your Fallen Ones faction?”
Fang Heng was silent.
Cole pursed his lips, his tone filled with dissatisfaction, “Brother, really? I’ve already told you everything I know. You want to get out of here too, right? Why not share the information? Let’s think of a way?”
Fang Heng said in a deep voice, “We destroyed the seal of the central hub.”
Cole was shocked.
“Huh?! Destroyed?”
“Yes.”
“We’re doomed!”
As Cole spoke, he looked up and covered his forehead with his hand, looking like an unlucky person.
“What’s wrong?”1
“The central seal is used to seal Hell Faram. If it’s destroyed, we’ll be finished. We won’t be able to get out. It’ll take at least a day and a night for the people outside to calm Hell Faram and come here!”
Cole sighed and continued, “When they find out that I’m here, I won’t be able to hide my identity anymore. How unlucky!”
Fang Heng stepped forward and pointed at the green crystal beside Cole.
“We still have that right? It can affect Hell Faram. We can use it to get away from here.”
“It’s useless. Don’t just look at the appearance of this crystal. If you want it to run stably, you need the magic array and the base to work together.”
Cole explained, “Oh right, I have another piece of bad news for you. It consumes a lot of energy, and I’m afraid it won’t last long. It will lose its effect after three hours at most. After three hours, the wall of flesh outside will be sucked in.”
The two of them looked at each other again and were silent for half a second.
“Why don’t we cooperate first? As for the other conflicts, we can solve them after we think of a way to get out?”
Cole suggested and looked Fang Heng up and down with a cautious gaze. He asked, “You people from the Fallen Ones legion won’t go back on your word, right?”
Fang Heng asked, “Do you have any other choice?”
“F*ck!”
Cole cursed and aimed the half-condensed spell behind Fang Heng.
“Whoosh!”
“Boom!!”
The white frost spell froze a small piece of the flesh wall of Hell Faram at the entrance, and then it completely exploded!
Fang Heng glanced at Cole and followed suit, carefully checking the condition of the green crystal.
Fang Heng realized that Cole wasn’t lying to him. There was a pedestal under the green crystal that could be embedded into it. At the bottom of the base was a magic array. The magic array perfectly matched the base. The three needed to be used together.

A spinning alchemy magic array quickly appeared in Fang Heng’s eyes.
The game notification refreshed.
[Hint: The player has discovered an unknown alchemy magic array.]
[Hint: Analyzing…]
[Hint: Player has discovered a special transformation magic array (energy conversion)(customized)(low-level).]
A large amount of information about the magic array flowed into Fang Heng’s sea of consciousness.
It was not a big problem.
Fang Heng observed for a moment, then looked up and saw Cole standing behind him.
“Friend, did you notice anything?”
“Mm, the magic array isn’t difficult, but I need your cooperation.”
“What the f*ck?” Cole had only asked casually, and when he heard Fang Heng’s affirmative answer, he couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “You have a way?”
Fang Heng nodded and took out a mobile slate that could be engraved with magic arrays from his backpack.
This thing was very useful. Ever since he ran into trouble last time and lacked stone slabs in his backpack, Fang Heng had thought of a way to prepare a few in case of any accidents.
As for the magic array under the green crystal base, it was even simpler.
It was just a normal low-level magic array.
The effect of the magic array was suitable for energy conversion. It was used to absorb and activate energy with the base under the green crystal.
