Hao Yun was puzzled by what he saw in his consciousness. At the same time, he attempted to command the system to connect the Yin Spirit Realm Battle Armor with the dagger, and tried to activate the armor's charging function. However, he quickly received a prompt from the system: "Attention! Attention! Energy converter lacks sufficient energy, unable to use temporarily, charging failed. Please confirm that the energy converter is in the open position first, then try to charge again!"
"Energy converter lacks energy? Shouldn't there still be energy in this dagger? Why does the system say it lacks energy? Could it be that the energy stored in this dagger is specialized and cannot be used to charge the battle armor? So, I need to supplement the dagger with additional energy to activate its energy conversion function? But I don't have the authorization to use this dagger, how can I charge it? Does this mean I've now obtained authorization to use this dagger?" Hao Yun furrowed his brow in thought.
Therefore, Hao Yun tried with a skeptical expression, "System, begin charging this dagger immediately."
Due to Hao Yun's previous assistance from King Er in using energy infused into the battle armor to benefit another dagger belonging to Yan Chaoyue, he was now prepared to use the same method to try and supply energy to this dagger, which also belonged to Yan Chaoyue.
"Energy source detected, beginning charging for the dagger." Indeed! The energy from the Yin Spirit Realm Battle Armor could also be used to charge this dagger! Hearing the pleasant notification sound from the system, Hao Yun couldn't help but cheer excitedly within the system.
However, Hao Yun soon found out that the system did not use the energy from the battle armor to charge the dagger. Instead, without his approval, it automatically used the Mould Spirit energy stored in the Mould Spirit energy storage device to supply energy to the dagger.
Seeing this, Hao Yun couldn't help but frown, immediately questioning the system about what went wrong. The system replied that since the Mould Spirit energy it had just obtained was more suitable for the dagger's charging standard, it had directly used this Mould Spirit energy to charge it. However, Hao Yun clearly did not buy the system's explanation and commanded it to immediately cut off the supply of Mould Spirit energy from the energy storage device to the dagger, instead using the energy stored in the battle armor.
However, a disturbing situation occurred. After confirming his command, Hao Yun's system did not successfully cut off the supply of Mould Spirit energy from the energy storage device to the dagger. After several unsuccessful attempts, it issued a series of alarms: "Warning! Warning! Mould Spirit energy storage device malfunction! Mould Spirit energy storage device malfunction! Warning! Warning! Mould Spirit energy collector malfunction! Mould Spirit energy collector malfunction!"
"System! What's happening? How could this be?! I command you to immediately shut down the Mould Spirit energy collector and Mould Spirit energy storage device for the dagger!" Seeing this, Hao Yun immediately commanded in panic.
By now, Hao Yun was clearly aware that the dagger was like a traveler trapped in the desert, extremely thirsty, finally encountering a spring and crazily absorbing the Mould Spirit energy from the system's Mould Spirit energy storage device. At the same time, the system's Mould Spirit energy collector seemed to suddenly lose control, automatically sending all the captured Mould Spirit energy to the dagger.
"Disaster! Could it be that the system has been invaded by a virus?! Could there be deception within this dagger?!" Thinking of this, Hao Yun immediately tried to sever the connection between the system and the dagger, but the result still ended in failure. So, Hao Yun hurriedly opened his eyes and tried to summon the dagger out and throw it away. However, like it had already merged with Hao Yun's body, no matter how hard Hao Yun tried, he couldn't sever its connection with himself.
Seeing this, Hao Yun couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, feeling that things were not going well. At this moment, he was completely soaked in cold sweat. Since obtaining the power of Amu Zinen could greatly enhance the strength of the Destroyer, why not the Countess too? Could it be that this was the Countess's plan? Her goal was to use this dagger to seize the Mould Spirit energy from Amu Zinen and then give this dagger to him? Thinking of this, Hao Yun slapped himself on the forehead and cursed his own stupidity in his heart, cursing himself for not realizing this earlier, and even thinking about relying on the Countess to resist the Destroyer.
Seeing Hao Yun's somewhat panicked expression, the Destroyer thought he was panicked because the protective shield was about to give way. So, the Destroyer smugly persuaded, "Hehehe! Lord Hao, if you really can't hold on, it's better to surrender early! I promise that if you surrender voluntarily, I will give you a swift and clean end!"
Hao Yun naturally had no time to pay attention to the Destroyer, but once again entered his consciousness, trying to find out where the system malfunctioned, so as to quickly cut off the connection between the system and the dagger. Because Hao Yun had a strong premonition that if he allowed this dagger to dominate the Mould Spirit energy collector and Mould Spirit energy storage device, his system was likely to collapse. Once that happened, the armor's protective shield and various auxiliary functions provided by the system would fail. By then, not only would he completely lose all resistance to the Destroyer, but he might also suffer from the destruction of his consciousness due to the system's collapse. In that case, his chances of survival would be extremely slim!

Huh? It stopped?! Just as Hao Yun anxiously searched for a way to sever the link with the dagger, and was at his wit's end, he surprisingly found that his system suddenly returned to normal, and according to Hao Yun's command, immediately shut down the Mould Spirit energy collector, while also cutting off the connection between the Mould Spirit energy storage device and the dagger. Hao Yun was delighted to see this, but he didn't dare to be careless. Even in his joy, he ordered the system to conduct a comprehensive self-check to see where the problem had occurred just now.
However, strangely enough, after a detailed self-check, the system did not find any problems. The system seemed to be running smoothly as if no loss of control had ever occurred, which puzzled Hao Yun greatly. However, before Hao Yun could further analyze the system's loss of control, he received another message from the system: "Attention! Phoenix Quill No. 6 requests connection. Do you agree to the connection?"
At the same time, Haoyun sensed once again the strong energy emanating from Yan Chaoyue's dagger. Haoyun was certain that this dagger was transmitting information to his system through this energy.
"Huangci Feather No. 6? So Yan Chaoyue's dagger is called Huangci Feather No. 6?" Haoyun looked at the link request on the system interface, feeling the powerful energy radiating from this dagger named Huangci Feather No. 6.
Although this dagger had somehow infiltrated his system before and supplemented a considerable amount of energy using the Mold Spirit energy, Haoyun currently did not sense any danger from the dagger. The system also did not detect any Mold Grade presence on the dagger. On the contrary, from the powerful energy emanating from the dagger, Haoyun felt a familiar sense of security. It was because of this that, although he remained vigilant towards the dagger, driven by strong curiosity, he inexplicably agreed to the dagger's request for connection.
"Ding! Huangci Feather No. 6 has been fully charged, and the total energy reserves have reached 95%. Detected the function that Huangci Feather No. 6 can activate — Informant Must Die, abbreviated as Informant. Do you wish to activate this function?" With a gentle notification sound, the system not only did not lose control again but also sent a message sufficient to uplift Haoyun's mood.
"Informant Must Die can be used now?! Am I seeing this right?!" Haoyun thought excitedly. He hadn't expected that the key to activate the hidden function "Informant Must Die" in this battle armor was the dagger given to him by the Countess!
"System, activate Informant immediately!" Haoyun issued the command promptly.
"I wonder what this Informant function is for? Ah! If this dagger could also activate that 'Rat's Nest Waste' function, it would be even better!" While commanding the system to activate Informant, Haoyun greedily thought, and at the same time, he accessed the Rat's Nest Waste function.
"This function is restricted and cannot be used. Please provide the correct key to activate this function!" the system prompted.
"Ah, what a pity. Could it be that the energy on this dagger is not enough to support both the Informant and Rat's Nest functions simultaneously? Or is it that this dagger can only activate the Informant?" Haoyun pondered briefly. "Anyway, one should not be too greedy! It's already very fortunate to gain an additional function at this time!"
After a moment of thought, he focused his attention back on the ongoing activation of the Informant.
"Informant is activating, please wait—. Ssss—! La—lala—! Woohoo—! Informant is activating, please wait, please wait! Cough cough cough!" When activating the hidden function of the battle armor, the system incessantly reminded Haoyun of the activation progress with its emotionless electronic synthesized voice. However, after a sudden surge of electrical interference, the system's electronic synthesized voice was replaced by a hoarse voice that sounded as if it came from a throat filled with ancient phlegm.
As soon as this voice appeared, it spoke and sang as if no one else was around, interspersed with coughing. The reason why Haoyun's face immediately turned pale and he felt palpitations upon hearing this voice was because this continuous series of hoarse, strange cries were unmistakably from Countess Gogolnikyeva.
"That persistent old hag, how come I hear her unsettling voice again here?!" Haoyun exhaled heavily several times, simultaneously cursing incessantly in his mind. However, Haoyun soon calmed down. He realized that the Countess's voice was just a piece of voice data implanted in the Informant function; her real self hadn't actually appeared here.
After another dozen seconds or so, the unbearable singing of the Countess suddenly stopped. Then, Haoyun heard again the familiar electronic synthesized voice of the system: "Attention! Attention! The hidden function of the battle armor, Informant, has been successfully activated! The energy reserve of Huangci Feather No. 6 is now 70%!"
"Wow! Activating a function actually consumes so much energy!" Seeing the energy display of Huangci Feather No. 6 suddenly drop by a large chunk, Haoyun exclaimed in his consciousness. Because Haoyun knew that this dagger had extremely strong energy compression capabilities, each percent of energy consumption released an enormous amount of energy. Therefore, upon seeing that the dagger required 20% of energy to activate Informant, Haoyun couldn't help but realize that this Informant function was likely very powerful.
"Ding! Ding! New messages received, please check!" Just as Haoyun was curious about what exactly the Informant function was, the system suddenly reminded him that two messages had been received and immediately began to voice them:
"Dao Lao? Haoyun? This is Master Gu! I have received the message you sent! Please report your current location and situation!"
"Haoyun? Haoyun? This is Judge Yan! Can you receive my message? Have you found Yan Chaoyue? Please respond upon receipt!"
"Judge Yan! Master Gu! This is Haoyun! I have received your messages! We are currently in the 619th realm of the Yin Spirit Realm, timeline L1314 in the Heluo Galaxy inside the Black Hole VOID—360. The Eternal Mourn planet here was not destroyed in the Great Explosion of the God Wars, and both the planet and its people are still intact! We have discovered traces of Yan Chaoyue here! However, whether it's Yan Chaoyue's situation or the situation on Eternal Mourn, it's not optimistic! We need support from the Spirit Realm! Please respond upon receipt!" Haoyun, upon hearing Master Gu and Judge Yan's voices, immediately replied excitedly.
Due to his haste, Haoyun sent a very long message to Judge Yan and Master Gu. However, as soon as the message was sent, Haoyun immediately regretted it. Because he suddenly remembered that under the interference of the black hole energy turbulence, the signal transmission between his system and the Spirit Realm was already exceptionally weak. Yet, he had sent such a long message at this time, which was bound to cause data congestion and greatly affect the efficiency of information transmission.
