Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 606 - 468 I want to give it a try

```

A hand clad in a pair of black gloves gently caressed the "membrane" in front of her eyes, which rippled slightly like water waves. Aglaya narrowed her eyes slightly, a mysterious and faint light emanating from her pupils.

What seemed like a simple layer of space-time distortion barrier effectively isolated the inside and outside of the castle into two distinct worlds.

"Still can't break through?"

An officer from the Arbitration Place not far from her, drenched in sweat, explained, "We initially suspect that under the long-term influence of demons, the entire castle has been corrupted into a nest of desires. It's spontaneously sacrificing all the living beings within the castle to the demons in exchange for complete corruption. If everyone inside is sacrificed or corrupted, this castle will forever fall into the realm of high-dimensional space!"

Aglaya's sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly with displeasure, cutting in, "I only need results."

There are experts in every field.

Even though her Spiritual Energy level might surpass everyone present, when it comes to demons, the officers from the Arbitration Place are the experts.

"We are trying!" was the only response the officer could give.

The officers were the ones who needed to detect the presence of demonic essences faster than anyone else.

However, in the face of such a degree of demonic erosion, any of their responses seemed inadequate.

He knew that Aglaya was a top figure in the city and also knew that she was the core high-ranking official of the Spiritual Energy Administration Bureau.

And because of this, some things were difficult for him to say outright.

The corrupt sacrifices within the castle were just the surface; the essence of this demonic invasion event was the result of the extreme desires of the entire city fermenting over many years.

It did not target any individual, nor was it a deliberate attack by those high-dimensional demons... but merely the ultimate backlash of the city's dark underbelly!

Long-term suppression could not completely solve underlying dangers, and the extremely developed desires deeply embedded the seeds of demons into every corner of this castle—the more it was suppressed, the deeper it hid.

And the backlash... thus came all the more fiercely.

The dire consequences of these desires originated from every single person currently within this castle, and even more so from every person who knew of the existence of this castle!

The "desire" of each individual was the absolute cause of today's backlash!

The entire city, not one could escape!

In the face of such a large-scale invasion of this level, almost everyone related to this in the city would find it nearly impossible to make any impact on this corrupted and degenerate castle.

Therefore, breaking through this barrier, which seemed as gentle as paper, would likely be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"Who are the important figures who came here tonight?"

An officer of the Arbitration Place, clad in a red robe, approached quickly from behind and asked coldly to the person coordinating with various forces.

"So far, we have only confirmed *** and ***..."

"That's a relief..." The officer, upon hearing the names and their affiliations on the list, relaxed his expression slightly.

Being from the Arbitration Place, he was more aware of the difficulty of breaking through this barrier.

If the task was impossible, they would already consider minimizing the loss as part of their contingency plans.

Relieved to hear that no truly important figures were trapped inside, he allowed himself to breathe a bit easier.

Not far away, Aglaya's brows knit tightly, "Arnold, what do you mean by that?"

"I don't mean anything." Even though Aglaya was in a position of power, Arnold, who did not report directly to any department head, did not care about her opinion, "Most likely, those people can't be saved, and this place will probably completely sink into the high-dimensional space."

Anticipating this outcome, Arnold almost seemed to take pleasure in the misfortune, "This damn place should have been eradicated long ago. Good riddance; I'd like to see who dares to cause such messes in the city again!"

So many officers from the Arbitration Place had to guard it every day, but it was just to maintain an outlet for the majority to indulge and vent.

This pathological outburst was inherently unreasonable, and most in the Arbitration Place had long been displeased with this place.

It was a pity that they were a sword with a master; otherwise, they would have leveled the place long ago.

Aglaya's piercing eyes firmly raised, "Do you intend to just give up like this?"

The people of the Arbitration Place only cared about the outcome of single battles with demons, but the researchers studying the ultimate path of Spiritual Energy in the world would consider every bit of loss to the real space and the impact it would cause to both the real and high-dimensional worlds.

Sooner or later, the balance would be broken.

If one day the world was completely engulfed by high-dimensional space, where would humanity go?

"Look! Someone is coming out!"

Someone suddenly pointed at the scenery behind the transparent, water-like barrier and shouted.

The barrier had different effects on each side.

Perhaps from inside, the barrier was covered with twisted, deadly beauty, which were manifestations of the high-dimensional space storms' distortions to human senses.

But from the outside, in the real world, it looked at most like a mirror smeared by a stream of water—somewhat blurry, but it did not hinder sight.

At that moment, from the high arching stone entrance of the castle, suddenly, a large group of creatures still capable of moving freely and maintaining human features emerged.

"They are alive!"

"They are not dead!"

Aglaya's eyes suddenly widened, exclaiming in surprise, "Weslin!"

Commander of the military district, the lord's son.

He would usually be stationed outside the city in the military camps, and despite much questioning, nobody had linked the issue to him.
