Lin Ye's vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
.............................
"Where the hell did this drop ?"
After regaining consciousness, Lin Ye discovered that his consciousness was sealed inside a tiny ntal space. He couldn't leave this space, nor could he perceive anything happening outside.
'Damn, I shouldn't have chosen the title 'Deity.' I was trying to get a better initial identity, but I ended up losing my body entirely.'
Lin Ye thought to himself, feeling a bit bored.
'What now? I can't just wait around here forever, can I?'
Lin Ye carefully examined the ntal space again and found a very narrow gap at its center.
He tried to extend his ntal energy through the gap, but discovered an extrely special ntal barrier on the other side. His ntal energy couldn't pass through it.
'This seems like so kind of special ntal barrier specifically designed to block ntal energy.'
Just then, Lin Ye suddenly realized he could sense another ntal space outside this one.
'Right, the ntal defense system. Even though I can't get my ntal energy outside, I can have the ntal defense system connect to from out there. As long as this barrier can't block external ntal energy, there shouldn't be a problem.'
Lin Ye didn't think this would be a two-way ntal barrier—its effect was just too good.
Soon, the ntal defense system connected to Lin Ye. Although he still couldn't directly perceive the outside world with his ntal energy, he could move through the ntal defense system and transfer into Little Guardian.
'This place is...'
Outside the ntal space was a fully enclosed small warehouse. The warehouse stored all kinds of oddly structured items, and Lin Ye's ntal space was kept inside an exquisitely crafted red wooden chest.
Lin Ye tried to control Little Guardian's body to walk out of the warehouse, but discovered that another similar ntal barrier existed outside the warehouse. Moreover, Little Guardian's body couldn't move far from Lin Ye—it could only operate in his vicinity.
'Looks like I need to find a temporary body.'
Lin Ye used his ntal energy to sense his surroundings. As long as there was flesh-and-blood material nearby, he could Alienate a temporary body.
Soon, Lin Ye found a target—an object composed of flesh-and-blood structure. However, that object also had that sa ntal barrier inside it.
'Doesn't matter. I only need the outer layer of flesh tissue.'
Using the Flesh and Blood Rule Fragnt, Lin Ye began carving mutation runes on the surface of that object. Since his Consciousness was sealed inside the ntal barrier, even trying to Alienate sothing was proving difficult now.
The flesh-and-blood structure on the object's surface slowly began to change shape, but before the flesh structure could fully form, a fully ard squad of high-level spiritual energy users wearing protective suits pushed open the large door and entered the warehouse.
Lin Ye stopped the Alienation process. This was also why he hadn't directly destroyed the red wooden chest—he still hadn't figured out his own condition or the external environnt. If he recklessly destroyed the container storing him, it could very well make his situation even more troubleso.
The spiritual energy user squad quickly discovered the partially Alienated flesh container. The squad leader used a spiritual energy tool in his hand to layer another ntal barrier over the flesh container.
"I told you not to use these flesh containers to store deities. Those damned researchers—we're the ones who have to clean up their sses!"
The captain said, sounding extrely displeased.
"Flesh containers haven't caused much trouble lately. Maybe today's ritual was just on a bigger scale."
A squad mber beside him picked up the flesh container. The captain checked the other containers again and only left the warehouse after confirming everything was fine.
'So all these containers are storing deities? Since when did deities beco so cheap?'
Since everyone was wearing protective suits, Lin Ye didn't make a move against them. If he caused another disturbance, every container in this warehouse might face strict inspection.
There seed to be so kind of monitoring device in the warehouse—once sothing went wrong, soone would co to check.
But this wasn't a big deal, because Lin Ye had already gotten what he wanted.
A tiny parasitic worm was hiding in the shadows. Using the technique Bessie had taught him, Lin Ye had concealed a small piece of flesh.
After the ard squad left, Lin Ye controlled the parasitic worm to burrow into the ground and brought Little Guardian out of the warehouse.
'There's even spiritual energy shielding underground. This base is pretty tight.'
Lin Ye guided the parasitic worm through the soil. Before long, he had mapped out the rough layout of the base, though he didn't approach the heavily guarded areas.
By gathering information from inside the base, Lin Ye ca to a conclusion: this place was a cultist stronghold specifically dedicated to researching cults and evil deities.
'I didn't expect to be teleported to a place like this. Sealing the limbs of evil deities inside containers, then using those deity containers to draw their power... that's pretty crazy.'
There was one thing Lin Ye couldn't understand: why didn't those evil deities simply destroy the containers and kill the followers stealing their power?
'Could it be that those evil deities gain so kind of benefit from these followers, and that's why they tolerate this behavior?'
This place was even more dangerous than Lin Ye had initially thought. He decided to observe for a while longer before deciding how to act.
'Let's pick a target and get so information about this place first... Got it.'
Deep inside the base, Lin Ye found so prison cells where sacrificial offerings were stored. There wasn't much he could do right now, and going after the cultists directly was too risky.
Catherine huddled in the corner of her cell. She never imagined she'd be captured by cultists and brought to a place like this. She'd always thought so-called cultists were just urban legends.
"What do I do now? I haven't made dinner yet. Mom is going to be so mad when she gets ho..."
She still hadn't fully grasped the reality of being kidnapped by cultists. She was still clinging to those trivial, everyday thoughts.
Because if she didn't, she would be scared to death.
"Dinner, huh? I'm more of a noodle person myself. I wonder if you have anything like that around here."
A pleasant voice sounded right beside her. Catherine jumped in fright and whipped her head around, finding a cute girl with short black hair sitting next to her. The girl wore an exquisite light orange one-piece dress that looked completely out of place in the dark, gloomy cell.
