From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 262 - 214 The Human World is Also the Abyss Battlefield

Iron Arm knew this text was a form of contact signal.

However, he did not understand what the series of digits below meant.

He repeatedly muttered the numbers to himself, pondering if these digits were some sort of secret code.

"Leader, could this series of digits be a special secret code used by humans? Should we ask a human?" Hake made a very insightful suggestion.

The Iron Arm Leader thought it was feasible, so he summoned a young Bansel girl and asked her to inquire with a human what the line of digits meant.

The Bansel girl, wearing a mask and a hood, mustered her courage, walked to the square, stopped a seemingly kind human auntie, and asked, pointing to the text on the large screen: "Hello, may I ask what this series of digits is a code for?"

The auntie looked up at the large screen, shook her head, and answered, "Is that even numbers? I've never seen it. Little girl, why are you alone on the streets so late at night? Where are your parents?"

"It's numbers, eleven digits."

The Bansel girl promptly read out the numbers.

After listening to the series of digits, the auntie expressed her surprise: "Isn't this a mobile phone number? Is it your family member's number? Do you need me to make a phone call for you?"

"No need, thank you." The Bansel girl, having obtained the answer, quickly ran back to report to the leader.

The Bansel people just didn't understand the Human World, so they didn't know what the series of digits was, but now that they knew it was a mobile phone number, the following actions would be easy.

They would use their Spiritual Skills to control a human, get a mobile phone, and then attempt to dial these numbers.

...

Meanwhile.

In a hotel in Edo City.

Lu Heng and his two companions had checked in, planning to rest for the night and think of a plan the next day.

At that moment.

Su Muyu's mobile phone rang. She picked it up, saw an unfamiliar number, and her eyes lit up. She answered the call and put it to her ear but said nothing.

In fact.

This was not the first time today that she had received a call from an unknown number.

Because in the Human World, they were not the only three who could understand the Bansel script.

Any Superpower User who had encountered the Bansel Clan in the Abyss Battlefield would recognize these characters.

Thus, naturally, there were people on Blue Star who could understand these numbers.

Among those who understood, there would always be someone trying to dial this number.

Su Muyu had already received three calls that night, but none were from the Bansel people.

Therefore, she was very cautious each time she answered the phone, making sure not to speak first.

Once the call connected.

The other side also remained silent, and after three seconds of quiet.

The sound of a conversation came through the phone:

"Is this right? What now?"

"I see other humans talking into this thing, and it emits sounds."

"There's no sound, though."

That sentence was from Iron Arm. Su Muyu recognized his voice and could even imagine him leaning close to the phone to listen.

She quickly greeted: "I'm Su Muyu, Iron Arm Leader, is that you?"

Iron Arm, startled when he heard a voice from the phone, his hand shook, and a look of surprise covered his face: "I'm Iron Arm, finding you is such a relief, your world is too strange."

"Wait a moment, I'll call Lu Heng over." Su Muyu hurriedly ran to fetch Lu Heng to listen to the phone.

Lu Heng, upon knowing they had contacted Iron Arm, immediately arranged: "It's inconvenient to talk over the phone; let's meet up and chat. Tell us your current location."

Iron Arm was unclear about their current location but could only report the words he saw on a nearby street sign.

The street name was sufficient.

Su Muyu pulled out her phone, looked up the map, and then sent the Chongming Bird to scout.

Afterward, the three of them took a car to that street.

Half an hour later.

The three of them encountered the Bansel people with Iron Arm.

"It's so good to see you, help me look for Mia, she's gone missing." Iron Arm had no mind to consider other matters, his primary desire was to find his daughter first.

"How did Mia go missing?" Su Mu Yu hadn't expected to find the Bansel people, only to learn that Mia was missing.

"A couple of days ago, Mia went out to find food and then never returned, and we've no clue where she went. The people here aren't very friendly; we've been chased and forced to hide by several groups," Iron Arm recounted the past few days' experiences.

"Let's not panic, we can think of a way to find Mia together. Are there any more clues?" Lu Heng soothed the anxious father.

An attendant of the Bansel Clan, Hake, immediately raised his hand and said, "I've tracked Mia's trail, and I suspect she discovered a demon's scent and followed it."

Lu Heng understood the temper of this powerful Bansel girl; if she detected a demon's scent, she would surely have gone to investigate.

If it were about tracking a demon, then it might relate to the task they were summoned for.

"What is your task?"

"The task is to find the demon tracks within Edo City, evade the pursuit of demon parasites, and survive for fifteen days," Iron Arm summarized their task in the Abyss Battlefield briefly.

Upon hearing about demon parasites, Lu Heng had a hunch and next inquired, "And the challenge task?"

Iron Arm looked at the task panel and replied, "The first is to find and eliminate three demon parasites. The second is to unveil the secret of the demon parasites and alert the humans to the crisis. Another task is to capture a living, special demon."

After hearing all the tasks, Lu Heng felt increasingly that their mission was what he had suspected.

"Have you encountered any demon parasites in the past few days?"

Iron Arm looked surprised, "We don't need to complete the challenge tasks, we just have to escape pursuit and last fifteen days to return home."

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng understood his point.

Not every summoned superpower user would desperately try to complete the tasks.

Each had different goals.

Moreover, Iron Arm's status was special.

He was the leader of the Bansel Clan at Stone Hammer Castle, and if he died in the Abyss Battlefield, the future of the Bansel people at Stone Hammer Castle would be dire.

That is to say, for Iron Arm, returning home alive was more important than completing the mission.

Therefore, he chose to hide for fifteen days in the human world, then to return afterwards.

From the perspective of the fate of the Bansel Clan, Iron Arm's choice was not wrong.

In fact.

Many human superpower users had similar goals, all wanting to survive the time and then return home alive.

In these cruel times, nothing was more important than returning home alive.

After some thought, Lu Heng queried, "Then, have you been chased by any demon parasites?"

Iron Arm reminisced for a moment and replied, "We've been chased by a group of humans. Their weapons were too terrible, the ones called firearms that you've used. We couldn't beat them and had to keep evading their pursuit."

The Bansel Clan was being chased by humans.

This further confirmed Lu Heng's conjecture.

Lu Heng then asked, "Do you know what the demon you're tasked to find in the mission is?"

Iron Arm frowned in thought, then shook his head, "We haven't had the chance to investigate this matter. However, I faintly sensed the presence of the demon in some humans."

Lu Heng slowly nodded, almost certain now about what the demon parasite mentioned in the tasks was.

To verify this, he took out a Sealing Card and handed it to Iron Arm, saying, "Take a look at this."

This Sealing Card happened to be the one that sealed the Soul Capturing Monster.

Iron Arm took the Sealing Card and appeared a bit shocked at the demon pattern on it.

Moreover, the demon pattern on the card was animated, as if it were alive.

"The demon scent here... is very strong," he exclaimed, eyeing the Soul Capturing Monster imprinted on the Sealing Card.

"Check the third challenge task, is it complete?" Lu Heng reminded him.

Iron Arm hurriedly looked at the task panel and then, in surprise, discovered that the third challenge task was shown as completed.

"It's complete, the third challenge task is actually complete."

Hearing the answer, Lu Heng immediately understood what was going on.

The demon parasites mentioned in the Bansel Clan's task referred to the humans infested by the Soul Capturing Monster.

The third challenge task, mentioning capturing a living, special demon, meant capturing a living Soul Capturing Monster.

And Lu Heng had just such a living demon on hand; by handing it over, the challenge task was naturally completed.

Iron Arm, looking at the demon on the card, furrowed his brow and said, "This... looks very much like the Soul Capturing Monster."

He hadn't seen a real Soul Capturing Monster but had heard of it from some Bansel Clan legends, so it seemed familiar.

"That's right, this is the Soul Capturing Monster. Your task is to eliminate the Soul Capturing Monsters and their parasites."

After connecting all the clues, the answer was quite clear.

The Bansel Clan's summoning to the human world was actually to deal with the Soul Capturing Monsters.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Lu Heng vividly remembered, in his previous life, the Soul Capturing Monster incident was exposed a year after the Abyss Descent.

At the time, several officials in Fusang were controlled by the Soul Capturing Monster, and after the matter was exposed, it was suppressed by the Fusang officials, so not much information leaked out.

Combining this with the task of the Bansel Clan, could it be that the Soul Capturing Monster incident in his last life was brought to light because another world's clan was summoned, leading to the exposure of the Soul Capturing Monster incident?
