The fall of this palm made Gu Shen's whole body stand up.

He instinctively wanted to turn around and fight back.

The silver light of the ruler of truth had already flickered, but when he turned around and saw the man's face, all the brewing dissipated and turned into incomprehension—

A tall man wearing a helmet, with a determined expression, shook his head at himself.

Hu Danian?

Gu Shen never expected... this guy is still alive.

He was very sure that the motorcycle that fell at the entrance of Yuandan Street was Hu Danian's vehicle, but on second thought... the dried-up skeleton did not match Hu Danian's tall and strong physical features. The person's frame was relatively small. At that time, he instinctively thought that the deceased was Hu Danian himself.

Hu Danian is still alive!

This should be the only good news at the moment.

"No."

Hu Danian conveyed this will with his eyes.

So the two of them slowly retreated until they exited the factory area and came to a broken wall not far away.

Hu Danian squatted in the mist and lowered his voice, "Are you crazy, kid? Why did you come here?"

"..."

Gu Shen felt like he was being robbed of his lines again.

Seeing Gu Shen's helpless look, Hu Danian immediately understood what was going on. He frowned and said, "Is Shi Li related to this seal case?"

"Yes... more accurately, it's related to the Longevity Foundation."

Gu Shen said meaningfully, "All of this is the Longevity Foundation's plan... although I don't know what they are up to. But if this heavy fog is released in other places, the destructive power won't be so simple."

It sounds crazy, but the truth might be... the heavy fog on Yuandan Street right now is just an experiment by these lunatics.

The fog that spread throughout the entire street area, if immersed for long enough, can even kill transcendent beings!

"Who is that dried-up corpse?" Gu Shen frowned and asked.

"A... person with no name. When I saw him, he was on the verge of death, lying at the entrance of Yuandan Street." Hu Danian's eyes were dim, and his expression was somewhat complicated. "This heavy fog pervaded Yuandan Street and some nearby areas. A small number of inhalers had relatively mild symptoms, just being imprinted with the seal of the seal. After waking up from the dream, they could return to normal... that poor man probably wandered into the core area of the fog, lost his way, couldn't find the exit, and was drained of his spirit and blood by the fog."

Gu Shen lowered his head slowly after listening.

When he finally found the exit of Yuandan Street, it was already too late to save... what a desperate thing.

"Why didn't you let me in just now?"

Gu Shen said again, "I have confirmed the existence of the seal... it's in one of those abandoned factories."

Hu Danian looked at Gu Shen with a complicated look in his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, Gu Shen's task was to track Shi Li, so he had just entered this street area, at most no more than twenty minutes, and he had already found the factory?

He is indeed a genius.

He sighed softly, reached out with one hand, and said, "I have also confirmed the location of the seal, down to the specific factory... the price I paid was an afternoon and this."

Hu Danian took off the glove on his left hand, and it was visible to the naked eye that the skin of his palm had developed age spots and layers of wrinkles, as if he had aged twenty years.

"This...?"

Gu Shen's pupils contracted, unable to believe it.

"This fog that pervades Yuandan Street can completely disorient anyone inside, even transcendent beings are no exception, and they can only rely on luck to get out of the fog."

"According to my estimation, if all of this fog is released, it should be able to pervade half of the old city... for some reason, the vast majority of the fog is suppressed in that factory, which means that the location of the seal is the most dangerous place." Hu Danian lowered his eyes and said with some sarcasm, "My original idea was the same as yours. Since we can't leave Yuandan Street, let's destroy the seal and stop this pollution... but just by touching the inner wall of that factory, my hand turned into this."

Skin aging.

Muscle death.

These injuries are not incurable... but it can be confirmed that even with the best treatment, Hu Danian's left hand has aged at least "twenty years" of life.

"I have confirmed that there is no one else in this street area. Although the lunatics of the Longevity Foundation are not afraid of death, they won't stay here to be consumed by the fog. The factory where the seal is placed doesn't need anyone to guard it... because no one can enter it." Hu Danian covered his mouth, suppressed his cough, and gasped, "This is by no means a so-called C-level seal... the supernatural anomaly in the factory is at least A-level, something that neither of us can handle."

Gu Shen fell silent for a moment and said, "But Shi Li entered the factory... which means that the Longevity Foundation has a unique way."

"You... don't want to be a savior, a great hero, do you?" Hu Danian's face showed helplessness, he smiled silently, and reached out his left hand, saying, "If the Longevity Foundation can enter, can you? Look at my hand... this is the consequence of mistakenly thinking that you are the protagonist."

"If I observe more carefully, I won't make such a mistake again."

The hand that Hu Danian raised was trembling constantly, but his voice was unusually steady."The best way now is to wait for Shi Li to appear from the factory. We just need to follow him and we can leave 'Yuan Dan Street'... As for this damn fog, let the judges at the Judgment Hall deal with it."

Hu Danian sneered and said, "Little brother, listen to my advice. If you don't have the strength of Deep Sea Nine Layers, don't wade into this mess."

Yes.

Hu Danian was right.

This is indeed the best way... If everything goes as planned, Gu Shen doesn't mind doing it this way.

He squatted quietly behind the stone wall and suddenly asked a question.

"What if we lose track of Shi Li when he comes out of the factory?"

Hu Danian was taken aback.

"Then... we'll have to grind our way through," he said in a deep voice. "Our mental strength is much stronger than normal people, and we can endure in this fog for a longer time."

"You wandered around Yuan Dan Street in the fog for a whole afternoon. This street is not big, but you still couldn't find the way out... logically, even if you touch the stone wall and try step by step, you should find the exit."

Gu Shen chuckled softly and said slowly, "Why did the poor man in the old district find the exit only when he died... Do you think that's a coincidence? Is it just luck to get out of this street, or is it... only the dead can leave?"

Hearing this, Hu Danian felt a chill.

"Since you spent the whole afternoon looking for the exit on Yuan Dan Street, did you see Shi Li's figure just now?" Gu Shen asked again, lowering his eyes. "In this heavy fog, both superhuman abilities and visual acuity are suppressed to below five meters. We can't see Shi Li at all, let alone track him... to put it bluntly, pessimistically, can you be sure that Shi Li is still in that factory?"

"Are you saying..."

Hu Danian's voice trembled.

"This fog has a special barrier that separates people from certain scenes in front of them... similar to an illusion. So we are wandering here because, like that skeleton, we are all people who have not mastered the trick, in this Yuan Dan Street... we are the so-called dying people."

Gu Shen said calmly, "But Shi Li is different. I guess the Longevity Foundation probably has a special breathing technique to deal with the fog, allowing people to come and go freely without being affected by the fog."

Hu Danian sat on the ground, feeling somewhat desperate.

He only now realized how difficult it was to track Shi Li.

It's very likely that the other party has already left.

And he's still waiting here.

"So... what should we do?"

At this point, he couldn't think of a better way. For some reason, Hu Danian looked at Gu Shen... he remembered that when he first met the young man in the bar, this naive boy didn't even understand the basic abilities brought by the superhumans.

Obviously, he was a fledgling in the world of the transcendent.

How long has it been now?

In this fog on Yuan Dan Street... his analysis is calmer and more objective than his own.

Perhaps Gu Shen will have a solution?

As an old hand who has been wandering the world for many years, Hu Danian believes in the principle that in a crisis, one must always rely on one's own hands and not expect others to bring luck...

He felt ashamed of his subconscious speaking just now.

"I have a way."

Gu Shen pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "The method is actually very simple, but there is only one chance... and it requires your full cooperation."

"...Go on."

Hu Danian perked up and sat up quickly.

The premise of all this is that Shi Li has not left Yuan Dan Street and is still in the sealed factory... Gu Shen said slowly, "Currently, it can be confirmed that Shi Li does not know that there are other people on Yuan Dan Street. So, he doesn't know about your existence, nor does he know about mine."

"Of course, we don't know what he came to Yuan Dan Street to do."

"If we let him complete his task smoothly and leave... then when he comes back next time, we'll have to wait at least a day."

At this point, Hu Danian suddenly realized what Gu Shen meant.

"You want to... expose ourselves proactively?"

"Exactly." Gu Shen nodded calmly. "But... only one of us will expose ourselves. The other will launch a surprise attack."

"A surprise attack?"

Hu Danian was stunned. This method is indeed simple... but the risk is too great.

"The lunatics of the Longevity Foundation are all reckless!"

"According to the records of the Sincerity Club, Shi Li is at Deep Sea Fourth Layer, but it's highly likely that it's a lie, and his true strength may be at the Fifth or Sixth Layer... In a direct confrontation, I'm definitely not his opponent, even if I launch a surprise attack, there's not much chance of winning." Hu Danian gritted his teeth. "...This method is too reckless. Maybe if we wait a little longer, the higher-level transcendent arranged by the higher-ups will come and we will be saved."

"What if... before the reinforcements arrive, the fog in the factory spreads? You also know that the Longevity Foundation is reckless. If they dare to release the seal in the old district, they must have a plan for when things go wrong." Gu Shen said lightly, "Do you want to stay here and wait for rescue from above? I also want to be saved... but I don't want to become the corpse on the street, and I don't want to leave my fate in the hands of others."

Hu Danian looked at the young man in astonishment.

He fell silent completely."If you want to live and are willing to trust me, let me launch the final assault. I'm confident I can put an end to all this," Gu Shen whispered. "I don't aspire to be a savior, nor a great hero... I just want to survive."
