Chapter 293: Dark Dawn
As the red cross shone brightly, Lin Ye's mental energy quickly recovered. The Seed of Spirit absorbed the red light and some substance from the environment, beginning to grow rapidly.
Under the illumination of the red light, the three people gradually shook off the Abyss's influence on them. The moment they completely freed themselves from the Abyss's influence, they left the Falling Space.
Before leaving the Falling Space, a black gift box appeared in Lin Ye's hand out of thin air.
"They seem to have gotten out. You probably didn't foresee this kind of fate, did you?"
Little Red said with a smile.
"...That relic is very special. I didn't detect any traces of it."
The Phantom was very dissatisfied with this outcome.
"Do you want me to tell you your fate?"
Little Red played with the Rule Fragment in her hand, feeling quite pleased.
"No need. If I chat with you any longer, this Rule Fragment of mine might not be safe either." After speaking, the Phantom disappeared, leaving only the man with a pierced chest on the other side of the portal.
"How dare you enter the Abyss? Aren't you afraid of being devoured by It?"
The man's phantom gradually faded and disappeared. He hadn't expected that the other party didn't need him to pass through the portal at all—that statement was just to lull him into complacency.
"It was just a bit risky. As long as there's sufficient benefit, I'm willing to take risks. Now I can wander outside a little. Thank you for providing the Rule Fragment. It's a pity that guy was quite sharp, otherwise I could have gotten a Fate Fragment to play with. The flesh fragment is more important, otherwise if I had directly attacked it, I probably had a fifty percent chance of obtaining two Rule Fragments. That was its true fate."
Little Red was in a very good mood and became more talkative.
"...You're deceiving me again. An existence like you, how could you risk being devoured just for Rule Fragments? So you can now freely enter the Abyss, correct?"
The man also revealed a smile. Exchanging one Rule Fragment for this piece of information wasn't a loss for him.
"Correct. I reached an agreement with that side. It won't take action against me."
Little Red said casually.
As for whether this statement was true or not, the man would have to judge for himself.
The man completely dissipated, and Little Red also disappeared from the platform.

[Please draw today's card]
"My turn! Draw a card!"
This time the card face showed a red flower pot with a bright red flower inserted in it. The card dissipated, and the flower pot appeared in the center of the Shelter.
"Hello?"
Lin Ye picked up the flower pot. The pot was filled with dark red liquid, and the bright red petals were extremely vivid. A captivating fragrance floated around the flower pot.
Seeing that the flower pot showed no reaction, Lin Ye placed it on the windowsill.
"Baa baa."
A pure white little lamb approached Lin Ye, emitting a soft cry.
"...You're that Scapegoat? Why did it leave you behind?"
Just after returning to the Shelter, Lin Ye had discovered this white ball curled up in the middle, surrounded by Little Black and the little dogs. He had planned to deal with it later.
"Baa baa."
The Scapegoat hid by Lin Ye's feet, keeping its distance from Little Black who was drooling at it.
"Because I didn't use you as a scapegoat, so the extra Scapegoat needs me to handle it? What use do you have?"
Lin Ye didn't want to keep such a seemingly fragile pet in the Shelter. Who knows, it might die one day, and he would feel sad when that happened.
"Baa baa."
Perhaps sensing Lin Ye's thoughts, the Scapegoat hugged Lin Ye's calf, emitting pitiful cries.
"You're quite perceptive. Alright, you can stay here temporarily then. If you want to leave, you can tell me anytime."
Lin Ye lightly kicked Little Black, signaling that it couldn't put the Scapegoat in its stomach.
"Meow meow... baa baa?"
The little dogs looked curiously at the Scapegoat, making similar sounds to it.
Lin Ye ignored the pets' interactions and began organizing the loot.
This time he had obtained quite a few special materials, such as corpses of Humanoid Lungs, eyeballs that could proliferate, corpses of Red Sea creatures, and so on.
It was a pity that he couldn't bring back that live eyeball little dog, otherwise he could have tried to research the principle behind eyeball proliferation.
The difference between live eyeballs and deactivated eyeballs was quite significant.
After handling the materials in the loot space, Lin Ye took out those boxes called Falling Materials. These boxes had different colors and materials, and he didn't know what distinguished them.
[Storage Box Containing Falling Materials]
[Open the storage box to obtain one portion of Falling Material]
[Note: Are you sure you want to open it?]
All the storage boxes had identical system information. Lin Ye planned to go to the asylum later to consult about the function of Falling Materials before considering whether to open these boxes.
Especially the black gift box that had finally appeared in his hand—Lin Ye certainly didn't think that was a farewell gift from the Falling Space.
After putting away the storage boxes, Lin Ye began checking the information of other items.
[Red Sea Handkerchief]
[A handkerchief that has absorbed water from a Red Sea tributary. This tributary is related to the Abyss. Cover a part of a biological entity with the handkerchief, and after some time, you will obtain a completely new biological entity]
[Note: Perhaps you can use it to continue absorbing other special liquids]
"...Strange function."
Lin Ye took a frozen corpse piece from the refrigerator, then covered one corner of the corpse piece with the Red Sea Handkerchief.
After placing the Red Sea Handkerchief, Lin Ye took out Ethan's gift.
[Aberration Solution]
[An excellent Alienation material product from the Heterodox God Cult, containing trace amounts of Heterodox God powder]
[Note: Warning, using this product will attract the attention of the Heterodox God]
"As expected, quite treacherous. I guessed it would be like this."
Lin Ye didn't mind. After he finished researching it, he would hand over these Aberration Solutions to the Middleman for processing.
After dealing with the loot, Lin Ye submitted the mission items for the Inheritance Task through the system—ten spiritual energy cores of Mutation Creatures.
A black pistol with a very long gun barrel appeared in the center of the Shelter. Lin Ye picked up the pistol and checked the system information.
[Dark Dawn]
[Mid-tier spiritual energy item. This is a spiritual energy weapon that has killed numerous dangerous creatures, with extremely great power]
[Note: Fight through the darkness to reach dawn]
Lin Ye inspected the Dark Dawn pistol. This pistol required loading physical bullets and spiritual energy crystals. The bullet specifications were extremely exaggerated—he had never seen pistol bullets this thick before.
"The trading area doesn't have bullets of this specification either. It seems I can only make them myself."
This wasn't particularly difficult for Lin Ye, who frequently crafted spiritual energy items. He had manufactured bullets of other specifications before.
'Perfect timing, as I recently wanted to make a batch of composite rune bullets. This gun came at just the right time.'
Lin Ye spun the pistol, already having a complete plan for bullet production in mind.
A white door appeared on the wall of the Shelter. He could now accept the next Inheritance Task.
