"Abyssal Believers..."

"How could such people exist?"

"Sasa has been staying with Yan Luo for the past few days..."

The people in the convoy speculated wildly, but Sasa ignored them, leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed, resting.

Today was the day for the faculty and students of Lingquan University's Abyssal Ecology program to start their research at the Crimson Abyss. Just two days ago, Wu Zechuan had publicly revealed the existence of Abyssal Believers.

Now, all the tens of thousands on Crimson No.2 knew about the 'Abyssal Believers' and understood that Yan Luo was wronged.

In fact, Yan Luo hadn't done anything wrong.

Some trusted this, others doubted, and some went with the flow.

But without exception, whenever they tried to spread news about this event online, their messages vanished into silence.

Previously, if someone had told them there were Abyssal Believers in the world, they would've scoffed. Yet, seeing their information about Abyssal Believers get deleted online made them believe in their existence.

If Abyssal Believers don't exist, why was their information deleted?

According to Wu Zechuan, the United Government wouldn't allow the spread of news related to Abyssal Believers, but judging by She Wuyou almost getting acquitted and remaining at large, it seemed the United Government was losing the battle against Abyssal Believers.

Their methods were wrong; more intense measures were needed to deal with Abyssal Believers. That's why Wu Zechuan stood out, informing everyone on Crimson No.2.

Whether a temporary rest hunter on Crimson No.2 or merchants doing business here, they had the right to know about the Abyssal Believers.

Because Abyssal Believers were the enemies of the entire Blue Star, they must unite the whole of Blue Star to deal with them.

Among the Lingquan University faculty and students, skepticism was prevalent. They partly agreed with Wu Zechuan's statements, but not entirely.

Overall, because the United Government restricted information on Abyssal Believers, they chose to believe in their existence, just thinking the United Government was stronger; otherwise, the Abyssal Believers wouldn't be so stealthy.

Amidst the scholars' whispers, the convoy passed through the spatial membrane and entered the Abyss.

Once in the Abyss, Sasa immediately took control of an armored vehicle and left the convoy.

Everyone knew Sasa was going to find Yan Luo, after all, she had no means of self-preservation.

A hundred meters away from the convoy, Sasa opened the armored vehicle's door, and Yan Luo jumped down from a tree, stepping inside.

Sasa brought the exoskeleton for him, but Yan Luo had no intention of wearing it yet.

The exoskeleton hindered his strength, and as his body became stronger, this became increasingly evident.

Whether it was the old exoskeleton or other advanced exoskeletons with stronger functions, they were all the same to Yan Luo.

Wearing the exoskeleton prevented him from performing at full strength; Yan Luo preferred to abandon the exoskeleton's protection to fully exert himself.

Unless he could possess a customized exoskeleton, this situation wouldn't change.

But discussing this now was still premature.

Yan Luo was still a wanted man, and no exoskeleton manufacturer was willing to create a customized one for him. He'd have to wait until the bounty was lifted before he could hope for a customized exoskeleton.

Sasa turned to look at Yan Luo in the driver's seat, full of envy.

He could move freely in the Abyss without an exoskeleton, a strength that Sasa deeply envied.

If she could gain such strong abilities, she'd be able to conduct research in the Abyss anytime!

Luckily, Sasa knew she wasn't cut out for it and didn't plan on having an Engraving.

Even with an Engraving, her strength wouldn't increase much, making it impossible to conduct research in the Abyss freely. For mere self-preservation, an exoskeleton sufficed.

"Where do we go next?" Yan Luo turned to Sasa.

Hearing this, Sasa lowered her head in thought.

Moments later, she had a flash of insight, saying to Yan Luo, "How about we head to the Elf World?"

Yan Luo looked at Sasa in shock, "...Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

Just the thought of an unknown world before her made Sasa's heart itch, licking her lips, "Think about it, it's a whole new world. We can drive there, showcasing our technological prowess to the Elves. Although when you opened the space portal before and saw a Flying Magic Ship, the technology path of Blue Star People differs from the Elves. It should shock them, leading them to misjudge the world behind us.

"By then, if you bring Wu Zechuan over to demonstrate strength, we could earn their respect and further mislead them about Blue Star, facilitating business between us and the Elf World eventually."

Yan Luo frowned slightly, "That's not your real motive, is it?"

Sasa chuckled, tilting her chin up, "Of course not! Actually, I just want to research it because I suspect that the current Elf World may be the future Blue Star. Over time, the Abyss will gradually erode our world, transforming it. The Elf World is a great reference point.

"Whether for academic reasons or for Blue Star's future, I feel it's necessary to go! Even if it means risking my life!"

Who was it that recently said the Elf World was too dangerous, and they weren't suited to go...

"Relying on others' pity for one's life is not a good habit." Yan Luo said sternly.

Sasa wagged her finger, "This isn't relying on pity. It's about technique, or what I'd call 'deceit' — fooling the Elves into believing Blue Star People are formidable. Don't worry about them being embarrassed upon finding out; we're the only humans they'll encounter, so they definitely won't discover our true current strength."

Sasa had thought of this recently; she really wanted to see the Elf World.

Yan Luo was persuaded by Sasa. After all, his mind wasn't as quick as Sasa's, so he couldn't immediately realize Sasa was deceiving him, though his instincts still left him concerned for Sasa.

The air composition of the Elf World was uncertain; it might have toxins harmful to regular humans. Even if their ancestors communicated and exchanged with the Elves many years ago, the Elf World had since turned completely Abyss-shaped, making it hard to ensure no toxins lethal to ordinary humans emerged.

"Don't worry; before leaving Crimson No.2, I already fully modified my exoskeleton. As long as I don't open it, it'll provide total protection, ensuring not even an inch of my skin contacts the air. Even expelling waste, I can do while fully protected."

And as for oxygen, that was no problem.

The Elf World had oxygen, and as long as the excess components were filtered, Sasa could breathe.

To this end, Sasa spent all her savings, including the money left from Yan Luo's previous sponsorship.

But to Sasa, it was all worth it.

It was an unknown world, yet shared some similarities with Blue Star. Just imagining the carcasses of the Demons there excited Sasa.

In the Abyss, Demon bodies disappeared upon death, preventing them from studying Demons post-mortem.

Sasa knew that if too much time passed, Yan Luo would grow suspicious, so she urged him while he was still unaware of her deception, hastening their journey to the Elf World.

"The Magic Crystal is in the back; let's go, I can't wait any longer!"

Seeing Yan Luo still hesitate, Sasa raised her voice playfully, "Ah~ What are you still worried about? I'm not afraid of dying, so why are you? If I die, that's my problem, not yours, okay."

Yan Luo was silent for a moment, eventually sighing and taking out the Jade, then turned to fetch a Magic Crystal marked 'Lethal Level' from the back of the armored vehicle.

Light shot from the car's front windows, falling ahead, just wide and tall enough for the armored vehicle to fit through.

Yan Luo pressed the accelerator, and the armored vehicle slowly advanced into the spatial passage.
