When they heard the word "Door", everyone's expression turned serious.

Su Mo's heart also felt heavy.

The origin world was not in the same space-time as the human world.

When two worlds came into contact with each other, the point of contact would often form a spatial rift. Most of the spatial rifts would only exist for a split second. However, some could exist for a longer time and form stable spatial passages and were known as "Doors".

Logically speaking, since the two worlds had intersected for such a long time, a large number of Doors should have appeared and allowed the demons of the origin world to continuously invade.

The reason why such a thing hadn't happened was mainly thanks to the Celestial Association.

The Celestial Association was a specialized organization established by Dawn Bureau. Its only function was to monitor all spatial fluctuations.

The formation of a Door would often produce relatively large spatial fluctuations. Such a spatial fluctuation could not be hidden from the Celestial Association.

Under normal circumstances, before a Door was formed, the Celestial Association would have informed the relevant personnel and arranged the corresponding power to stop the formation of the Door in its cradle. Even if a Door had been formed by accident, they had enough power to close it by force.

It was also because of this that the peace in the human world could be maintained until now.

Then why was there another Door now?

As if he had guessed everyone's doubts, Xu Liushuang explained with an ugly expression, "Although the Celestial Association can monitor all spatial fluctuations, it mainly targets spatial fluctuations above level 3. Spatial fluctuations at level 3 and below are frequent and dense, and there could be up to a thousand of them every day in a district. Most of the low-level spatial fluctuations would not form spatial cracks. Even if a crack was formed for a short time, the mirage demons most probably would not be able to sneak over in time. All the mirage demons who manage to do so are extremely lucky. After all, they have to find a crack that they could pass through at the right time and place. It would be impressive if even two or three of them could make it through the rift. Some of the slower ones will even be cut in half by the rift. Half of them will be in the human world, while the other half stays in the origin world. These sneaky mirage demons are thus the main targets of the divisions to clean up, acting as a further patch for the safety of the public."

"However, there are exceptions occasionally. For example, if a level 3 spatial fluctuation formed a long-lasting spatial rift, it might disappear soon if left alone. However, if someone were to interfere and artificially widen this crack, such as using a void-splitting stone to reinforce the crack, thus forming a stable space passage and forcibly erecting a Door, it would be difficult for even the Celestial Association to monitor such a situation. Unfortunately, we have encountered such a situation, and this is most likely related to the traitor within our levels!"

At the end of his sentence, Xu Liushuang's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Everyone understood what he meant.

Strengthening the spatial passage and forming a stable portal was not something that could be done with just one or two pieces of void-splitting stones.

The stones needed might have to be calculated in the hundreds. Only the Bureau could take out such a large number of void-splitting stones in one go.

It was very difficult for the mirage demons in the origin world to gather so many.

If the appearance of a single void-splitting stone could not amount to sufficient evidence to reach this conclusion, then the deduction of a Door's appearance had determined that there must be a traitor in Dawn Bureau!

Xu Liushuang took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He said to everyone, "We only need to report the matter of the traitor, and someone will naturally deal with it. The most important thing now is to find the Door! Otherwise, the longer the matter is delayed, the more demons will appear. If this is left to be, it will likely become a situation that cannot be resolved. We can't let all these years of peace be lost in Tianmu City!"

Everyone responded in agreement.

Xu Liushuang immediately ordered, "Xiao Xu, go to the shop and search for related clues. Xiao Zhang, go to the corpses and check if there are any memory fragments. Xiao Chen, contact the security bureau and check the surveillance videos in the vicinity. Let's see if we can determine the movements of the fox demons."

The three captains received the order and immediately got to work.

Xu Liushuang took out his phone and dialed a familiar number, "Chief Zhang? It's me, Xiao Xu. I have a situation here that I might need to report to you."

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and the cleaning up of the aftermath was also in progress.

Xue Qiaoqiao took the initiative to go forward and treat some of the Transcendents who were injured in the battle. Another level three enchanter took the initiative to repair the damaged weapons and equipment.

This scene instantly made Su Mo feel the value of collective power. Compared to those in the official organizations, the civilian Transcendents had to do almost everything themselves.

If one was injured, one would have to go and buy healing potions alone. If one's weapon was damaged, one had to use one's points and employ an enchanter. No points? Scram, then. Who the f*ck would be so free to come and save those in distress?

Of course, civilian Transcendents had certain advantages, though. They had more freedom in their actions, and they could take on any mission they wanted without being forced.

In the face of any disasters, the official organizations' Transcendents would have to take the lead and be at the front line. Thus, throughout the year, the number of official Transcendents who died in battle was not small.

However, Su Mo did not feel any fear.

Firstly, it was precisely because of the frequent battles that the official Transcnendents usually advanced very quickly and could awaken more abilities. Their strength was thus much stronger than the civilian Transcendents.

Secondly, if he wasn't on the frontlines, where would he find so many demon corpses and obtain so many lifespan points?

Thinking about that, Su Mo looked at his stats window.

After experiencing these few events, he could be considered to have concluded the corresponding relationship between the demon's level and the lifespan points it would give him after its death.

A level 1 demon could give him about three lifespan points, level 2 would give him 10 points, level 3 would give him 30 points, and level 4 would give him 100 points.

Of course, these were just rough numbers. Each demon specifically would have subtle differences.

For example, Lin Keke, who was a level 2 demon, had provided him with 10 lifespan points. In contrast, the 2 level 2 fox demons in Boyue Villa Area had provided him with 11 and 12 lifespan points respectively during their previous sneak attack. It could only be said that Lin Keke was too weak.

During the operation against Space 7 Escape Room this time, he had obtained lifespan points from a total of 12 level 1 fox demons, 5 level 2 fox demons, 2 level 3 fox demons, and 1 level 4 fox demon.

Hence, he gained a total of 246 lifespan points.

In addition to his original 70, he should have 316 points.

Su Mo took a closer look and found that he only had 302 lifespan points, which was less than he had expected.

It was most likely because his teammates had killed the fox demons too quickly, and he didn't have time to absorb all the lifespan, wasting some.

Su Mo instantly felt heartache. The waste would result in a 10-hit combo or even a 20-hit combo.

If one waste could amount to twenty draws, then what about ten? Or a hundred?

Just thinking about it made Su Mo feel heartbroken.

He had decided that when he became stronger in the future, he would definitely take the lead.

He would first capture all the demons, then kill and absorb their lifespan one by one. He would not waste any of them. He had to squeeze out all their value!

Thinking about this, Su Mo could not help but look forward to the next lottery draw.

With more than 200 draws, he should be able to get quite a few good things, right?
