[Emergency Passage]

Different from the [doors] connected to various Worlds, this kind of passage essentially belongs to a 'strong power' of the Main Material Plane.

As long as the World has signed a contract with the Main Material Plane, one of the clauses requires the World to allow the Main Material Plane to unilaterally open a fast channel connecting other Worlds in times of crisis.

By querying the signal from the wristband to locate the specific coordinates of the wearer, a narrow passage for a single person is forcibly opened in a short time.

Each opening can last from one to twelve hours, and it can only be opened once a month.

The electric signal is the most common channel medium. Pure communication devices like a landline telephone, with no other functions, become the first choice for an 'emergency passage'.

Buzz!

Yi Chen leapt out from a pool of viscous liquid, returning to the Body City, only to face the fully guarded [Emergency Transmission Zone].

The voice of the Golden Lung Venerable came through:

"Please continue soaking in the filtration liquid until the collection of 'pheromones' is complete, ensuring that you have not carried any malicious materials, and confirming that your thoughts and souls have not been eroded.

During this period, if you make any unusual movement, you will be immediately deemed as malicious intruders and eliminated."

Three others naturally remained soaked in the pool, besides Jin, who fell asleep again due to exhaustion. Reagan and Lorrian showed no relief of surviving the ordeal, remaining either silent or in thought.

The inspection took a long time.

After all, the number 1910 Simulated World had such a major upheaval. For the four New Recruits to 'retreat unscathed', even the believing Golden Lung Venerable found it unbelievable, the higher-ups were even more skeptical, suspecting that Evil had attached to them.

All kinds of inspections were utilized, including a High Rank Angel personally descending to conduct checks on everyone.

When the inspection focused on Yi Chen, they indeed detected a Malice value.

Instantly, alarms blared throughout the entire area, various specifications of Particle Cannons, divine seals, or Secret Techniques were all locked onto Yi Chen.

However, Yi Chen remained calm and collected, taking out the hat from the [Rain Man] from the wardrobe. With the submission of the malicious Relic, the malicious detection showed no abnormal indices.

The inspection for the four of them took an entire day,

although they passed the inspection, they remained in the inspection station for another three days.

Here they would receive standard accommodation and irregular 'psychological investigations', possibly being questioned about specific details during washing, eating, or even using the bathroom. If any of their answers were problematic, they would be retested.

As the first day passed,

the group restricted to the four-person room welcomed a special guest.

"Old B, are you going to inspect again tonight?"

The continuous inspections and unexpected questions were getting on everyone's nerves. The moment the Golden Lung Venerable entered the room he was greeted by Yi Chen's 'friendly' salutation.

The Venerable was extremely magnanimous, not a bit angry, instead looking at this group of young people with indescribable satisfaction.

"I'm just here to bring good news, the hat you submitted has already completed the inspection! As long as you get through these three days normally, your identities will be restored.

Being able to kill a completely independent 'Human Evil' as New Recruits is extremely rare across the entire Main Material Plane.

By then, your identities will be elevated, granting more privileges and rewards for killing the 'Human Evil'."

Upon hearing this new term,

Lorrian, who was originally leaning against the bedhead tossing a coin, looking emo, also turned around.

Yi Chen directly asked, "What is a Human Evil?"

"Yes, you haven't received the New Recruits' training before going straight to that World… didn't expect to encounter so much.

Let me play the role of a teacher, after all, I've done it before."

The Golden Lung Venerable, unconcerned about formality, raised his golden robe and sat on a metallic chair near the door, speaking methodically.

"The initially born [Evil] depends on the literary carriers created by humans, formed between words and thoughts.

It can directly affect humans who have viewed the relevant carriers, and through the traits of literary dissemination, let maliciousness swiftly spread to every Corner of the World.

As time progresses, [Evil] gradually evolves.

Some literary carriers that have reached a certain number of kills or have had a great impact on the World might independently separate out an [Evil] with Self-awareness and a human-like form, not bound by carriers.

Such Evil often can influence the World's Rule to a certain extent, especially in environments suiting its story setting where it can exert significant ability, posing a dangerous threat.

Of course, although they come forth independently, they originally stem from a work and will carry the work with them and hide it away.

However, most Evil, even when independent, spend most of their time inside the literary carriers, appearing independently only under a few circumstances.

The 'Rain Man' you killed might have come forth independently because he noticed your uniqueness.

We have currently found a disc inside the top layered pocket of his hat, which is his 'Literary Origin'.

In dealing with such atypical Evil, we usually target their literary Origin, once destroyed, the body will also perish.

Unexpectedly, you managed to completely kill the Rain Man conceptually without destroying the literary origin.

With such skill and strength, the higher-ups will certainly value it! At that time, I can also take the opportunity to advance the connection between the Main Material Plane and the Sick Focus, striving to provide more war compensation over there, and expedite world channel rewards.

By then, anything you wish to bring over won't be restricted."

Hearing this, Lorrian's mood also improved somewhat.

The issue that prevented him from exerting his full strength this time was that the [Moon], which coexists with him, was left at the Sick Focus, taken care of by the Deep Red Cross.

Yi Chen then grasped the key issue, "Does Evil have a rank similar to ours, the Patients?"

"Of course."

The Golden Lung Venerable took a deep breath, then exhaled a wisp of golden Aura, constructing characters in the air.

"Carrier"

"Person"

"Phenomenon"

"Disaster"

"Generally, the danger level is ranked according to these four major categories. The first category, the most common Evil, has not yet come forth independently, only existing between certain literary carriers, with actions reliant on the descriptions of malice within them.

The second category is the Rain Man you defeated, capable of coming forth independently in a human form, able to affect the rules of a certain area.

For example, the Rain Man should be able to make a large area experience continual rain, where every raindrop could be transformed into a malicious carrier.

The third category is fully called [Phenomenon]. The Evil reaching this Level can not only influence Rules but also to a certain extent 'modify' the rules of a specific area, completely altering our perception of Phenomenon.

Dealing with this level of Evil, I have to be cautious even myself.

The fourth category is the most dangerous, most terrifying, and the ultimate crisis causing the fall of many Gods.

Disaster, as the name suggests, means disaster, calamity! They can bring inevitable enormous disasters to Worlds, to entire Planes.

This type of existence no longer modifies Rules, but ignores them. Their abilities are often undefined, with space and time ceasing to function around them, everything changes due to their arrival.

The balance of the World shifts due to their coming, they are the most direct threat to the entire Plane."

Upon mentioning this, the Golden Lung Venerable had a solemn expression, "The thing you last encountered… can you describe it for me? Though the higher-ups will eventually ask you, telling me in advance might make things better."

As Yi Chen explained their experience in the hotel, a bead of cold sweat trickled down the Golden Lung Venerable's forehead.

Always speaking only in Chinese, he suddenly burst into English,

"The Manager! Did you really escape from the hotel?"

In an instant, even the Golden Lung Venerable felt a shiver at his decision. If the Manager had crossed the Emergency Passage with the entire hotel into the Body City, it would have been overrun directly.

"Is that a Disaster?"

"That's right, [The Manager] is a very well-known Disaster, one of the top class catastrophes! According to the current wanted list, a total of 17 lower-level Gods and 2 Middle Rank Gods are suspected to have disappeared entirely after checking into the Manager's hotel, never returning.

That you managed to escape from the hotel… of course, it might also be related to the instability of the hotel due to the Manager's attempt at forced plane migration, opposing the World's will.

This matter is significant, you might be asked to report in detail in the Divine Hall later.

Upon our evaluation and determination that your escape method is effective, your personal assessment will be further enhanced! There might even be some special Rewards for you.

Well done ~ staying alive is what matters!"

Taking a long breath, the Golden Lung Venerable looked at the young people in front of him, filled with hope.
