Chapter 2421
Chapter 2421 Losing Control
Han Sen felt a chill . This was no longer funny .
Ning Yue’s mental endurance was almost as good as Han Sen’s, but Ning Yue had been dramatically affected by the green sword . Han Sen didn’t know what to do with the changes that were occurring .
Ning’s Yue body, his genes, and even his personality had undergone a shift .
Han Sen couldn’t believe that Ning Yue now dressed entirely in pink and his personality had suddenly become so very sensitive . He was very cowardly now, and he had lost all of his decisiveness . He didn’t look like Ning Yue anymore .
Han Sen even wondered if Ning Yue’s soul had been taken by a woman .
“What is up with this xenogeneic space? Why are there so many weird things going on?” Han Sen frowned, and he subconsciously stepped farther away from the stone . He did not want to end up like Ning Yue .
The excavation of the stone fields continued . It took another seven or eight days for something strange to happen again . Someone managed to dig up a big rock that was leaking blood and had a hand coming out of it . The hand managed to break free and kill a dozen workers . It didn’t stop until Night Wind appeared and killed it .
Han Sen’s experiments were still going on, too . Four groups had been affected thus far . They had all leveled up once, but only by one level . They didn’t level up after that, and no one else had leveled down, either .
Now that Han Sen could confirm the effective radius of the stone, he could mark out a danger zone around the warehouse . But he didn’t call the ten teams back in . They still remained in their places, continuing the test .

For now, no one could be sure if the stone might begin acting differently . Either way, the experiment wasn’t going to stop .
Han Sen didn’t enter the warehouse to look at the rock, but it seemed like the stone was benefitting everyone who got close to it . But after the one anomaly of what happened to Red Cloud, Han Sen wasn’t going to risk being careless .
Just like usual, Han Sen called the ten teams over . After questioning them, he planned on going back to his room to eat with Bao’er . But Falling Leaf informed Han Sen that Miss Mirror wanted to see him in her office .
“Miss Mirror has something important enough to call me in now?” From what Han Sen could tell, the digging job was being shoved forward as fast as possible . And they kept encountering problems . Miss Mirror had gone to the stone fields on her own, so if she had come back seeking Han Sen, he surmised something must have happened .
Han Sen went to Miss Mirror’s office as he was instructed to . He knocked and entered . When he saw Miss Mirror, his greeting died on his lips .
“You…” Miss Mirror had ended up like Red Cloud . She didn’t have that scary, mysterious presence anymore . Her lifeforce was weak . She was like a King now, that was certain . She was no longer deified .
“Yes, I have become King class . ” Miss Mirror looked calm, but Han Sen could still see the profound sadness behind her eyes .
It looked like downgrading from being a deified being had been quite the gut-punch for Miss Mirror . He respected the strength of her mind, but even a strong person like her would be shaken like this .
Han Sen went silent . Then he looked at Miss Mirror and asked, “What can I do?”

He knew Miss Mirror wouldn’t ask him to come and see her for no reason . There were also limits to what she would tell a fake prince like him .
Miss Mirror’s eyes were steady . “Reinforcements are on the way . It will take them two weeks to arrive, and we are losing control of what is happening here . It has escaped my grasp, and something even worse might soon occur . ”
Han Sen’s face looked glum . For a strong woman like Miss Mirror to make such a confession meant that things were really bad . It was almost unimaginable . Things must have been far worse than Han Sen himself expected .
“Why don’t we just stop digging for now and leave this place? We can wait for backup to get here,” Han Sen suggested quietly .
Miss Mirror shook her head . “It is too late . Before I left the stone field, we dug up another statue . ”
Han Sen froze .
“A second statue like the one in the warehouse?” He asked, staring at Miss Mirror .
“It was different . This time, it was a genuine statue . It has a thousand eyes and hands, and each eye has four pupils . ” When Miss Mirror spoke of it, her breathing quickened . Her emotions were clearly still unstable .
“Because of that statue, you became King class?” Han Sen asked .

Miss Mirror nodded, and then she shook her head . “Within half an hour after digging up the statue, I dropped from being deified . But Night Wind, who was inspecting the statue with me, was fine . The other workers were fine, too . So, I cannot confirm that I fell because of the statue . ”
“In that case, we really should move . We should abandon these efforts, stop excavation, and get out of here,” Han Sen said .
Miss Mirror shook her head . “I told you, it is too late . Look at my eyes . ”
“What the hell happened to your eyes?” Han Sen demanded . When he looked closer into Miss Mirror’s eyes, what he saw shocked him .
Miss Mirror once had beautiful eyes that looked like phoenixes . Her pupils had been black, but now they were red . And furthermore, the pupils were split in half . The four red pupils were a deeply unsettling sight .
“Are those pupils similar to the statue’s?” Han Sen asked .
Miss Mirror nodded . “Everyone who saw the creature, including me and Night Wind, look like this . If we stray too far from the statue, we’ll act like addicts who need a fix . The further away from the statue we go, the stronger the feeling grows . Our desire to dig in the stone fields becomes irresistible . You have to keep digging to scratch that itch . The only way to satisfy the urge is to plow . It is the only thing that makes us feel better . ”
Han Sen’s face looked gloomy . Everything about this place was way too scary . Even deifieds were affected without knowing how or why . Han Sen couldn’t ensure his own safety in that place .
“What can I do for you?” Han Sen asked again . The situation was beyond everyone’s control . He wasn’t sure that he could be of any help .
If he could have chosen, he would have left the xenogeneic space . The further away he got, the better .
Miss Mirror started to answer, but suddenly, the office’s doors were banged open . Night Wind rushed in .
Han Sen looked at Night Wind’s eyes . His pupils had turned red, and he too had a case of the double-trouble pupils .
“What happened?” Miss Mirror asked, looking at Night Wind .
“We unearthed stone doors in the stone field . They’re huge, as if they lead to some giant, ancient city,” Night Wind explained in a strained voice .
