The commotion also made Klan, who was standing in front of the mirror, run over. He was about to look at the painting when Quinna pulled him back.
Klan looked at her in confusion, only to see Quinna shaking her head repeatedly at him with a look of terror: "Don't look! I was almost killed by that painting just now!"
Upon hearing this, Klan immediately turned away from the painting. He knew Quinna's character; she wouldn't lie to him.
The expression on his face kept changing: "It seems that even a seemingly safe church hides deadly dangers."
He looked at Quinna, whose body was still trembling slightly, stepped forward, put his arms around her shoulders, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's over. I found an exit from here. We will live."
Harold, who was nearby, showed excitement on his face when he heard him say this: "Really? It seems we can live!"
Upon hearing this, Quinna's trembling body slowly stopped. She looked towards the most conspicuous mirror in the church.
The mirror was pulled open, revealing a thin layer of white mist behind it. Through the white mist, she could even see the trees outside.
"This is! An exit?" Quinna's face lit up with excitement and she quickly ran over to check.
She looked at the exit and walked straight through without a second thought.
Whoosh! After passing through the white mist, the surrounding environment suddenly dimmed.
The faint moonlight in the sky and the cold wind blowing in the surrounding air all told her that she had escaped from that terrifying city.
She quickly turned her head to look behind her. Behind her was an endless expanse of white mist. At the edge of the white mist, a two-meter-high void appeared, from which a faint yellow light emanated. She could even see the scene inside the church through the thin mist.
Inside the church, Klan walked out carrying the unconscious Lord Oliver, followed by Harold.
When Klan and Harold stood on the ground outside, a feeling of being in a different world came over them.
Tears appeared on their faces, just as they had the first time Harold left.
A moment later, Quinna looked at the two tearful grown men and quickly said, "Let's leave here first. Even if we're not inside, I don't feel safe just standing outside."
"Okay, Lord Oliver also needs treatment!" Klan nodded heavily, carrying Lord Oliver, and ran towards the outside of the forest.
Harold followed beside him, a strange light in his eyes.
Quinna was in front, and as she ran, she suddenly felt a gaze behind her.
She subconsciously turned to look. At the edge of the white mist, a woman in a full red wedding dress with a red veil was standing there. Even with the veil covering her head, Quinna felt she was looking at her.
Goosebumps involuntarily appeared on her body, like a prey being stared at by a natural enemy.
'Don't be afraid, Quinna. Those Monsters can't leave the white mist. Once we're out of the white mist, we'll be fine!' Quinna's eyes showed fear, and she forcibly turned her head away from the terrifying Monster behind her.
Klan noticed Quinna's unusual expression, and he also turned to look in the direction of the white mist behind him, but there was nothing there. Even the entrance they had come out of had disappeared... Inside the City of Mist's church.
Creak!
The previously closed main door automatically opened, and a young man in a black suit walked in with a calm expression.
Beside him was a middle-aged man in a white lab coat, holding a mirror in his hand.
Dong Guangjie looked at the mirror in his hand, a look of interest on his face: "Such a small weapon can unleash such astonishing power. I'm becoming more and more interested in the source artifacts of that world."
Jiang Yan walked to the front of the mirror, looked at the gold stone that had been pried off it, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Soon you will get more samples to research."
Buzz! Just then, in the center of the church, a burst of white mist appeared out of thin air. One second later, the white mist dissipated.
A gray-blue skinned middle-aged man, over three meters tall and holding a long spear, appeared. He respectfully nodded towards Jiang Yan's back: "Master, all the memories of the deceased prey have been sorted. Do you need them to be transmitted to you?"
"Transmit a copy to me as well! I urgently need their memories!" Dong Guangjie quickly said from behind.
Within the City of Mist, the Lord of the Mist's methods were comparable to a minor deity.
The method of transmitting memories and language was equivalent to a movie clip appearing in the target's mind. Once outside the City of Mist, this movie clip would disappear. To remember it completely, one could only rely on their own memory to diligently recall it.
Jiang Yan took advantage of the temporary voice transmission from the Lord of the Mist last time, and after just one pass through his mind, he completely remembered it. After all, with his energy level, remembering these things didn't take much time.
"Transmit it to both of us," Jiang Yan said, his hands behind his back, without turning his head.
"As you command!" The Lord of the Mist lightly tapped his long spear on the ground, and two wisps of white mist appeared, rushing into Jiang Yan and Dong Guangjie's bodies.
Jiang Yan's mind instantly gained many memory fragments. These memories had all been sorted by the Lord of the Mist.
Most of them were memories of Source-Artifact Users and a small number of events between factions.
Jiang Yan and Dong Guangjie stood still, taking more than ten minutes to fully digest these memories.
"Judging from the extraordinary substances extracted from human bodies in those worlds before, I knew that the upper limit of extraordinary power in this world is higher than that of the Awakened Ones in our world," Dong Guangjie said with emotion, feeling the memories.
Jiang Yan turned around and looked at Dong Guangjie: "The only ones worth noting are their so-called Calamity Envoys and Dominators. The former likely reaches the Seventh Level, while the latter is Level Six."
"With everyone having the potential to access extraordinary power, the emergence of Seventh Level beings is not unexpected. President, please name this target world, as it will be the first world our Monster Association conquers!" Dong Guangjie said, looking at Jiang Yan while examining the memories in his mind.
With so many memories now, and the memories of how Source-Artifact Users use source artifacts, he was eager to return to the Laboratory to begin researching source artifacts.
'If I implant the silver substance obtained from human bodies earlier, perhaps the Monster Association could also gain the qualification to control source artifacts.' Dong Guangjie's eyes flickered.
Jiang Yan heard this, thought for a moment, and then said: "This new world will be named Origin Artifact World."
After saying this, Jiang Yan's consciousness sank into his mind to re-examine the memories.
At the same time, he also understood the secret of how Source-Artifact Users improve their strength.
The original form of a source artifact was a mass of silver metallic liquid. After coming into contact with a qualified human, not only would the human's temperature rise, but the source artifact would also automatically transform into the weapon most suitable for that human.
There were all sorts of strange source artifacts. For example, Lord Oliver's source artifact was a warning tape. This small warning tape could actually unleash energy comparable to Level Six.
Of course, it was the entry-level kind of Level Six, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated by Salo.
The improvement of a Source-Artifact User was also very simple: either use the source artifact to absorb extracted origin stones, or engage in high-intensity combat. In the former case, after the source artifact absorbs, it feeds back to the human body. In the latter case, after combat, the extraordinary substances within the body improve and feed back to the source artifact.
In any case, the result is that both improve together, equivalent to a symbiotic weapon.
Moreover, those with powerful talent could even use multiple different source artifacts, their strength far exceeding that of single Source-Artifact Users.
Therefore, origin stones and origin stone extraction technology are considered strategic items in the Origin Artifact World. In any case, Jiang Yan could not find any origin stone extraction data in these memories.
This was all that Jiang Yan learned from the memories.
