The Mysterious Village in the Red Mist 2

The federal government convened an emergency meeting.

Everyone watched the transmitted video with serious expressions. After watching it, everyone fell silent, their voices heavy with solemnity.

Speaker Shen announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Red Mist Forest is alive!"

At the same time, resonant phenomena appeared in places around the world shrouded in red mist.

The official forum was in complete chaos.

Many people began uploading photos of the red misty areas around them, posting messages and asking whether the Federation's strange phenomena had descended upon the world.

[Strange phenomena are occurring in the land of crimson mist that descended seven years ago. My God, is this normal? Could it be some kind of bad omen?]

[SOS! This hasn't happened in the Crimson Mist Lands for a long time. The Crimson Mist Forest was the first place where the Crimson Mist descended!]

The nearest place to me, the crimson mist, is resonating, as if it's offering congratulations. It's terrifying; it truly feels alive.

[@Beijing Federal Bureau, please explain what's going on. Is there something strange hidden in the red mist?]

Meng De slammed his hand on the table. "Damn it, I'll take some men and bring them out right now!"

As the dean of the Combat Academy, Lei Zhan naturally wouldn't stand idly by. He took the initiative to suggest, "The combat team is always ready to carry out this mission."

"Everyone, don't panic," Chairman Shen signaled to everyone to remain calm.

He took out a confidential document from the Federation seven years ago and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the data shows that the Red Mist Land will only select SSS-level powerhouses to enter the instance."

The Federation once sent powerful individuals into the Red Mist to search for resources to help humanity research ways to combat the pollution of humans by the eerie energy.

When the red mist descends, it will select humans to enter a bizarre dungeon.

The red mist in the Red Mist Forest appeared out of nowhere and has remained there ever since, which can only mean one thing: they haven't yet chosen any humans to pull into the instance.

Chairman Shen was silent for a moment. "There are definitely monsters of no less than SSS level in the Red Mist Land instance. Only SSS level monsters have the ability to create monster worlds. The Red Mist Forest has been around for seven years, and its level is beyond our comprehension."

"What does this mean? Are we just going to abandon those kids?" Meng De snorted irritably.

The Qin family patriarch chimed in, "Speaker, the children of the First Squad are the future of our Federation."

It is also the future of humanity.

Are we just supposed to watch?

At this moment, Councilor Xia suddenly asked a question.

"The Red Mist Land only selects strong human beings to enter the instance. Although the first team and the few people from the academy of medicine are valuable assets of the Federation, they are still young people, and their mental strength level is not enough to attract the attention of the Red Mist."

He paused. "So, who exactly caught the Red Mist's attention?"

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Yes, who can attract the attention of the red mist?

Only those with SSS-level talent can attract the attention of the red mist.

The strongest member of the first squad is Qi Lin, the owner of the extraordinary sequence lightning pattern.

However, the gene sequence is a capability gained through human genetic awakening and will not cause the red mist resonance to revive.

SSS-level ability users haven't appeared for a long time.

There was a sudden knock on the conference room door.

Judge Zhou appeared at the door with Zhou Si's assistant.

For important meetings, no one except senior executives is allowed to enter the 99th floor.

"Judge Zhou, what brings you here?"

"Could it be that there are problems on the arbitration tribunal's side as well?"

Speaker Shen inquired.

Judge Zhou's face was grim. "Gentlemen, I am very sorry."

His tone was firm and left no room for argument.

"The arbitration tribunal will also be involved in this resolution concerning the Red Mist Forest."

"Zhou Wen'an, are you trying to interfere with the council's decision?" Lei Zhan asked, displeased.

Arbitration tribunals and conference tribunals never interfere with each other's decisions.

Even the chief of staff has no right to interfere too much.

What does Zhou Wen'an mean?

Judge Zhou's face was grim. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and muttered a curse, "That brat went to the Red Mist Forest too!"

"As a father, I'd like to hear your plans for saving those children. Is that a problem?"

The aide trembled.

He swore that he had absolutely tried to dissuade the presiding judge.

But the presiding judge wouldn't listen and insisted on giving Deacon Su Yuan a mysterious surprise!

Destroy it! Someone save this love-struck fool!

Su Yuan didn't move, but she felt that she was getting closer and closer to the ancient well, as if something was urging her to go forward quickly.

"System, what's going on?"

The system urgently reviewed all available information and, after piecing it together, arrived at the following conclusion:

[Host, according to the data, this red mist phenomenon has occurred eleven times in the past seven years. Each time the red mist phenomenon occurs, one SSS-level expert disappears. Of the eleven SSS-level experts, only one emerges from the red mist area, and after he emerges, the red mist disappears.]

"What about those who didn't come out?"

The red fog's radiation range has doubled.

Can the area covered by the red fog expand further?

The system concluded: [Host, we have most likely entered a strange instance shrouded in red mist.]

As previously mentioned, the eerie events that descend upon reality will be swallowed by the red mist after the eerie energy dissipates.

The bizarre creature can only survive in the real world by parasitizing human bodies.

The crimson mist devours the eerie, yet allows the dungeon to exist.

it's wired.

Before Su Yuan could figure it out, she found herself standing in front of the old lady.

The old lady stopped striking the wooden mallet at some point, hunched over, and leaned close to Su Yuan, her face almost touching hers.

The wrinkles on her face spread out like ripples.

She looked no different from an ordinary person, yet she exuded an indescribable eeriness.

"Young lady, you must be the bridesmaid my Xiuhe invited?"

The old lady stretched out a thin, withered arm and grasped Su Yuan's hand, which seemed quite unusual to her.

"She's definitely a city girl. Look how fresh and new she is."

Su Yuan tried to break free, but found that the old woman's hands were covered with bluish-green marks, and the old woman was surprisingly strong.

So far, there has been no notification regarding the dungeon.

Su Yuan chose to be patient for the time being and see how things went.

She asked, "Have you been waiting for me?"

The old lady chuckled, her wrinkles smoothing out, her eyes darting around with a slightly dull look.

"Our village is far from the city, and there are many rules in the village. You city people don't understand the rules. Xiuhe was afraid you would be frightened, so she specially asked me to come and wait for you."

Su Yuan didn't say anything more, but just followed the old lady into the village.

The village entrance was desolate, and after entering the village, it was not clear that life in this village was particularly good.

It looked exactly like a backward and impoverished ancient village, with every household living in a mud house with black tiles.

There were scattered pieces of red paper in the corner. The red paper looked very fresh and bright red, but its shape was very strange, like that of yellow paper.

"So many happy events in the village?" Su Yuan asked.

The old lady's smile froze. She stomped hard on the red paper on the ground, spat, and then put her hands on her hips and cursed loudly.

"That blind fool, why doesn't he clean it properly!"

"It's alright, it's alright, that's just how the village is, it's not clean."

The old lady turned her head and stared at Su Yuan with a smile, and as she stared, a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.

"The girl is really something else."
