When Han Sen heard Black Steel's tone, he knew he knew something was up. But now was not the time to ask questions. Han Sen would have to wait for Black Steel to arrive.
What worried Han Sen the most had happened. Not long after, more people in the base had the mark on their foreheads. It seemed to be spreading.
Han Sen had no choice but to isolate everyone, but that was not a solution.
As time went by, more and more people began to have the mark. At first, it was only the people who had been there, but now, even the women and children had the mark on their foreheads.
In a few short hours, half of the people in the base had the mark on their foreheads.
Fortunately, Han Sen, Little Angel, Zero, Xie Qing King, Gu Qingcheng, and Little Silver had not been infected. That was the only good thing.
Xie Qing King and Gu Qingcheng looked at the infected people, but they could not tell what was wrong. The base was in a state of panic, and the Nobles who were not infected wanted to leave. If it wasn't for the fact that Han Sen had killed two Viscount xenogeneics and Deep Blue Viscount's help, the base would have been in chaos.
There were four Viscounts in the base. Wind was dead, and Deep Blue had been very helpful. Lake had not caused any trouble, either. The other Viscount was missing, and he had not returned since two days ago. Han Sen did not know where he had gone.
Han Sen contacted Black Steel again and told him what was going on. He wanted him to be prepared, so he didn't want to be infected.
"Wait for me."
Black Steel said those two words and then hung up. It looked as if he was in a rush for something.
Black Steel had not yet arrived, but Deep Blue Viscount came to see Han Sen alone.
After Deep Blue Viscount entered the house, he removed his armor. Suddenly, an egg-shaped mark appeared on his forehead.
"Do you feel anything?" Han Sen asked with a frown.
Deep Blue Viscount was calm. He shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything. If I hadn't looked in the mirror, I wouldn't have noticed it."
"What are your plans?" Han Sen asked again.
Deep Blue Viscount sighed and said, "I told you before that I have something I want to talk to you about alone. Do you have time now?"
"Speak." Han Sen nodded.
Deep Blue Viscount sat on the opposite side of the table and organized his thoughts. "I know that most of the Nobles here have their own goals. I'm the same, but I'm different from them. I don't work for anyone."
"Then why have you come?" Han Sen asked, looking at Deep Blue Viscount.
A Viscount was a powerful Noble. He could go anywhere he wanted, so there was no need for him to come to Han Sen.
Deep Blue Viscount smiled bitterly. He pointed at the egg-shaped mark on his forehead and said something that surprised Han Sen, "I came for this."
Han Sen looked at Deep Blue Viscount in shock. "You're here for it?
Do you know what this is? "
Deep Blue Viscount nodded and then shook his head. He sighed and said, "This isn't the first time I've been to Planet Eclipse."
"You've been here before?
Is he following that Earl? "Han Sen immediately realized what was going on.
Deep Blue Viscount laughed and said, "Yes. I left this mark the last time I was here."
Han Sen was shocked. If the mark on Deep Blue Viscount's forehead was from the last time he was there, and he was still alive after so many years had passed. That meant the infected people in the base would be safe for the time being.
Deep Blue Viscount knew what he was thinking, and with a wry smile, he said, "It's not like what you think. Once you have this thing, you'll die in a short amount of time. It might take a few days, or even ten days to half a month. You'll die like Wind Viscount.
I didn't die for another reason. That's why I'm here. "
Han Sen didn't say anything, and he waited for Deep Blue Viscount to continue. If he was there, he was going to continue.
"When I was captured by Chiron Earl, I was just an ordinary person. I was just a little older than the children. I had already generated geno armor."
After Deep Blue Viscount said that, he had a strange expression on his face. Han Sen didn't know what it was.
After pausing, Deep Blue Viscount went on to say, "I followed Chiron Earl. The last time he went to the North Mountain, I was with him."
"Didn't you say that none of the teams that went there came back alive?"
Han Sen was shocked. If Deep Blue Viscount was telling the truth, then something was wrong.
"I was the only one who made it back alive. But the people in the base were just ordinary people. They didn't know I had gone with Chiron Earl. The Rebate officers who came to investigate didn't expect Chiron Earl to bring an ordinary Kate with him, either." Deep Blue Viscount looked conflicted as he spoke.
"What happened there?
What are these egg-shaped markings? "Han Sen asked.
Deep Blue Viscount shook his head. "There are many things that I don't understand. After all, I was just an ordinary young Kate. I had just generated geno armor, and my power was limited. My knowledge was limited."
After a pause, Deep Blue Viscount continued, "As for the egg-shaped mark, it can only be found after coming into contact with something there. Aside from me, everyone else with this mark has died, including Count Chiron.
When I came out, I didn't infect anyone else. I don't know what Wind Viscount did, and why the egg mark is still contagious after he died. "
"What kind of place is it?" Han Sen asked.
Deep Blue Viscount thought for a moment and said, "It was a palace in the mountains. It was very big, and the palace was very weird. I didn't know much about it, and I didn't dare think too much about it. I just followed Chiron Earl, and many people died along the way. Eventually, we came to a big hall.
Chiron Earl was very excited. He told us to wait outside the hall, and then he went in alone.
We waited outside for about half a day before Count Chiron came out of the hall, and he even brought out something. "
Han Sen knew the important part was coming, so he didn't interrupt Deep Blue Viscount. He just listened.
"It was an egg. It was black, and it was as tall as a person. It looked just like the mark.
Chiron Earl took it out, and then he asked us to carry the big egg. He wanted to leave the palace.
But at that time, something terrible happened. These black egg-shaped marks appeared on our foreheads. "Deep Blue Viscount's face was full of fear. He seemed to recall something terrible.
