Free Web NovelChapter 374: Chapter 178: Ode to the Courage of the Investigation Corps (An Even Bigger Chapter than Yesterday)
In the absence of any Well Level participants, humans might truly have the capability to stand outside the tower.
The blacksmith, who realized this fact, could hardly believe it.
It was as if, until today, humans were still lower in the food chain, but today... directly changed his viewpoint.
What did the blacksmith see in this battle?
Humans possessed the power to combat Evil Fallen.
Humans had carved out territories outside the tower.
Humans had technology that could be used outside the tower.
Humans could coexist peacefully with Evil Fallen, and even share life and death together.
All the things that once didn’t belong to humans, changed their rules today.
Did Bai Wu accomplish all this?
How long did he take? Was he also an Eternal Being? Yes... he must be an Eternal Being. He was lying in wait for seven hundred years, quietly preparing all this.
The thoughts of the blacksmith were also those of Jing Wu who was at that moment engulfing the Power of Calamity to break the rules.
If Jing Wu knew... that Bai Wu had been at the High Tower for less than a year, perhaps it could imagine why Jing Er chose to leave the Well and come here.
This world does have a savior legend.
Although the biggest supporter of this legend had gone mad, and among the few remaining brothers, the one with the most frightening power, Jing Yi, simply thought it was all a lie by Jing Liu.
But Jing Er believed that since Jing Liu had acquired the Causal Force, there must be some reason behind his words.
Especially since the Well... was too important to this world.
So, Jing Er was always wary of the person in the prophecy.
The offensive by the Investigation Corps, the prison forces, and the full counterattack of the eastern district began.
Academy Street was piled with the corpses of Evil Fallen, something humans never thought they would see—the day they would drive back the Evil Fallen in defeat.
The defensive forces began to push back the invaders.
The blacksmith had many methods, but he was always unable to break through against a strong defensive type like Liu Mu.
After many exchanges with Nie Chongshan, Liu Mu always felt... perhaps his shield wasn’t thick enough.
It wasn’t until he changed opponents that he suddenly realized... it wasn’t that he wasn’t strong enough, but that he had always been facing the strongest offense.
Thus, facing the blacksmith, Liu Mu couldn’t win, but he also couldn’t lose.
Although Nie Chongshan was utterly outmatched by the Mirror Evil Fallen, Nie Chongshan’s resilience prevented the Mirror Evil Fallen from disengaging as well.
Time and again, his attacks were repelled, but the Mirror Evil Fallen, who remained unscathed even now, wondered, doesn’t Nie Chongshan realize he’s inherently countered by me?
Of course, Nie Chongshan knew.
But such a formidable sparring partner might not be available after today; he didn’t care about winning or losing, only about surpassing himself in this confrontation!
Yuan Ye, Colt, Lu Yan, Qian Yixin, leaders of the various Investigation Corps squads, as well as core members of each Vanguard Group, began to lead their armies in a relentless advance.
The invaders’ forces were pushed back from Academy Street to the central city area, and the four giant Calamity Barriers still trapped Jing Wu.
But it was visible to the naked eye that the barrier had thinned considerably.
The Human Allied Forces were unaware that Jing Wu was trapped inside; they had not yet experienced the most desperate power disparity from outside the tower.
Bai Wu was clear on this, as he, Yan Zizai, and Wu Jiu had all experienced this person’s strength.
That’s why Bai Wu also knew that the battle was not heralding a victory; on the contrary, a cold bucket of water sufficient to chill the Human Allied Forces from head to toe was about to be poured down.
If Zero doesn’t hurry, I fear the moment of total collapse will arrive.
And the true reality is worse than Bai Wu could have imagined.
...
...
Outside Baichuan City, the peaceful moonlight soothed Jing Er’s mood.
He enjoyed this feeling of beauty and tranquility.
In the areas surrounding the Wells, it was rare to see such a pure night sky. There, the starry sky wasn’t just a sky; it was a cage imprisoning monsters.
So seeing the starry sky in that place wasn’t a good sign.
In his hands, Jing Er held a string of Buddha beads, slowly twirling them, his demeanor one of calm joy. Yet beneath the moonlight, he also exuded a hint of compassionate sorrow.
Feeling the chaos of the city beneath his feet, Jing Er sighed.
The next second, his figure vanished.
He appeared before the huge Calamity Barrier.
"Calamity? My little sister’s Power of Causality? It seems not quite; not so pure. It looks like some kind of derivative power."
Jing Er was curious why these four vast barriers had managed to trap his brother.
At this moment, Jing Wu’s expression was complicated, for it surely felt the arrival of its elder brother.
Years had gone by and the elder brother’s strength appeared to have far surpassed its own, causing it a sense of unease.
Jiang Yimi’s Calamity Cage, one of the barriers, manifested countless tiny cracks.
"Come on out. I didn’t expect you’d be trapped inside. It seems like the work of this little girl?"
The cage one couldn’t obtain had finally shattered, and one of the seals was now missing.
At this instant, Bai Wu, Yan Zizai, Gu Hailin, Nie Chongshan, and all others felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
This was utterly different from the aura emitted by any Evil Fallen before!
In the instant unbound by the rules, Jing Wu had no intention to catch up with its brother first; it was too wary of Jiang Yimi, the Semi-Evil Fallen, and planned to kill her directly.
At this moment, Bai Wu, fully aware of what was unfolding, was ready to let Yan Zizai save someone, but his face soon showed confusion.
With the Power of Calamity dissolved, Jiang Yimi lay on the ground, and at this time, anyone could kill this terrifying girl.
But just as Jing Wu was about to do so, Jing Er stood in its way.
"To carry such an ominous power... yet maintain your own sanity, and to stand up for these lovely humans against you, I find myself feeling pity for this girl. Let her be."
Jing Wu was shocked.
The scene of Jing Er intercepting Jing Wu also astonished all the Evil Fallen and humans engaged in battle.
If in the moment before, the most dazzling individuals on the battlefield were Bai Wu and Yan Zizai, were Zheng Yue and Wu Jiu, then from the moment the Calamity Barrier broke, none of these people mattered anymore.
Humans or Evil Fallen alike, in the presence of two Well Level beings, were overwhelmed by a force far beyond imagination.
Without even lifting a finger, the simple combined presence of these two individuals instantly shattered the hard-won hopes for victory.
Many members of the Investigation Corps, experiencing this aura for the first time, saw their emotional fluctuation levels on their wrist devices soar to seventy.
They couldn’t suppress the fear.
Bai Wu still remembered the terrible aura emanating from Jing Wu; just a slight touch and one would be submerged in endless emotion.
This was an entity... that humans were naturally unable to contend with. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Irrelevant to combat prowess, this was absolute suppression.
Yan Zizai still vividly remembered the time he replaced Jing Wu only to be almost submerged by negative emotions and nearly underwent an Evil Fallen Transformation.
In the vast battlefield, countless wandering spirits, devils, and Evil Fallen humans all came to a sudden stop.
Jing Wu’s hand was countered by Jing Er’s Buddha Beads.
"Having not met for so long, yet you’ve still not rid yourself of the malice in your heart," Jing Er said. "I’ve told you, to become the rulers of this world, we cannot rely solely on brutality. We need love, and we must learn to embrace all beings."
All the aura emanating from the Soul-Devouring Swamp was blocked by a colossal, golden roulettte that Jing Er conjured, formed from the arms of countless Buddha statues.
He shone brightly in the night, like a Buddha descending from the heavens, extending compassion towards all.
Jing Wu simply couldn’t stand this aspect of his older brother. Who was he putting on this act for?
Humans are mere ants, all beings are ants, and it’s laughable for a lion to show pity to ants.
It seemed as though Jing Er could see right through Jing Wu’s thoughts:
"Perhaps lions possess an exalted status in this world, but the world isn’t made up of lions. It’s built by the very ants you look down upon. You must learn to revere, to love. That girl has love in her heart; maybe one day, she’ll surpass you," Jing Er spoke gently.
"Mind your own business! Just mind your own business!" Jing Wu’s eyes were filled with rage as he glared at Jing Er, suddenly realizing that his brother’s interference... could it be the result of the Power of Calamity?
Jing Er blessed Jiang Yimi with a layer of Buddha light. The golden light was fundamentally different from the black substance of the Soul-Devouring Swamp, as if one represented salvation and the other destruction.
But Jing Wu knew it was all just a form of power. His second brother was merely indulging in the role he played; his love was not for all beings, but for his own persona.
However, if a person can deceive themselves, then if he believes himself to be a gentleman, he will be a gentleman, and if he convinces himself to be a monk, he will be a monk.
The entire battlefield fell silent, with only the occasional sound of humans swallowing in fear.
"What exactly do you want to do? How did you come to be here?" Jing Wu took several steps back, warily eyeing Jing Er.
If Jing Er was to stop him from killing, Jing Wu realized he would need to consider whether his brother was friend or foe.
"That is a question I would also like to know the answer to. What brings you here?" Jing Er asked calmly, gazing at Jing Wu.
On this battlefield, it felt like a group of ants were observing a battle between two lions. The outcome of the fight itself seemed insignificant, for if the two giants decided to destroy humanity, there would be absolutely no chance for humans.
Bai Wu’s mind raced with questions.
"If Zero were to arrive and defeat Jing Wu... then who could defeat this monk?"
"So this is the Demon King of the fifty-first level? We simply aren’t capable of dealing with this right now."
Humans can but strive; the rest is up to fate. If facing two Well Level individuals joining forces was fate, Bai Wu might as well conclude that the demise of the refuge... was fated.
Seeing Jing Wu’s wariness towards the monk, Bai Wu knew the worst-case scenario had arrived.
The strength of the Jing brothers was at the very top, but even among the top, there were significant gaps in power.
It’s likely that the monk’s strength was even above Zero’s; the fight wasn’t winnable at all.
No matter how much he pondered, Bai Wu found no way to turn the tide.
The arrival of the monk made him feel as though he faced an irresistible force.
...
...
Jing Er and Jing Wu seemed to have already forgotten the battlefield. The two conversed as if oblivious to the humans and Evil Fallen around them.
They possessed such strength that everyone else could only listen quietly to their conversation.
Jing Wu said:
"Humans attempt to create refuges, to move beyond the High Tower. Shouldn’t I stop them? Besides, there’s a human here who has crossed me. My coming here is merely to make humans recognie their place. What about you?"
Jing Er frowned and then shook his head helplessly:
"You always believe that the High Tower is a pasture that breeds humans."
"Isn’t it?" Jing Wu sneered.
"Little brother, you must learn to revere. Humans have existed in this world far longer than we have. The High Tower has isolated people from the outside world, yet it cannot stop the human desire to explore it."
"Thought is very powerful. Humans will inevitably leave the High Tower, and it is better to guide than to block. No matter how harsh the world outside the High Tower is, they will ultimately overcome it, and you should understand this even more given the war."
The war indeed delivered many shocks to Jing Wu.
Black Gold Island and Huangquan Island joined hands, but they couldn’t take down the sanctuary. It’s hard to imagine that humans could do this.
"We need to coexist peacefully with them, learn to love them. We are not their enemies, nor are they ours."
For a moment, the humans were somewhat stunned, and figures like Nie Chongshan, the powerful Evil Fallen, could most acutely sense Jing Er’s fearsomeness.
The blacksmith was greatly shocked; could it be that Lord Jing Er... was taking the side of humans?
Only Bai Wu looked serious.
He knew very well that among the other members of the Jing Family, aside from Jing Si, if there was even one person who truly supported humans, Jing Liu’s body wouldn’t have been so overdrawn.
The current situation of humans also wouldn’t be so pitiful.
Sure enough, Jing Wu’s gaze toward Jing Er was filled with disgust:
"Put away that set of principles of yours. Perhaps over the past seven hundred years, you’ve indeed learned that disgusting word, but I’m very clear about your view of humans. That condescension from a superior to an inferior is more disgusting than outright brutality. On your way here, I suppose you’ve been full of compassion while liberating quite a few of your prey, haven’t you?"
Jing Er’s eyebrows twitched, but he still looked compassionate as a Buddha. Facing Jing Wu’s provocation, Jing Er simply smiled lightly.
Jing Wu said:
"What are you here for, exactly?"
"You should know."
"The prophecy?"
"Indeed."
Jing Wu wasn’t surprised; only a prophecy could have made this fake monk leave the Well.
"It seems that the young sister’s prophecy might be true. Look, humans and Evil Fallen can now entrust their lives to each other on the same battlefield. Humans have the strength to defeat lesser Evil Fallen, and humans have even opened up areas outside the Tower."
Jing Wu mocked Jing Er:
"If humans were allowed to continue developing like this, perhaps the prophecy might indeed come true, right? Do you still think we should guide rather than block?"
Jing Er appeared thoughtful.
In Jing Er’s view, as long as humans did not overstep their bounds, it was okay to grant them some authority.
This is truly the condescension of a superior toward an inferior, condescension aimed at better rule.
As if one day, the employees of a company became more rebellious, but these same employees were also useful, so they couldn’t be fired.
Hence, promoting them and giving them raises would satisfy them, making them work harder and more faithfully.
But it seemed as though Jing Wu was suggesting another possibility; after being promoted and getting a raise—the employees were not satisfied, and they even wanted to shout: Does the CEO or director dare to oppose us?
"They are rebelling... What mercy and love, brother, you should know better than me that what makes humans fear us is our powerful strength! With our power, we should tell them, let these ants roll back inside their pasture and stay put! The world outside the fence is not for these lower beings to touch!"
After a few seconds of silence, Jing Er said:
"I do not delight in slaughter, and what you say makes some sense. Perhaps some humans are like serpents, perhaps some do not know satisfaction. But those people are irrelevant to the prophecy. If they are to be extinguished, then you go and extinguish them. My target is someone named Bai Wu."
Jing Wu was startled, then a smile appeared on his face:
"No problem, I will destroy the hope in these humans’ hearts. As for Bai Wu, you are my brother, so I can let you have him. But before you kill him..."
After a brief pause, Jing Wu thought of Bai Yuan’s face:
"The obsession entity that lives in his consciousness must be destroyed by me!"
Jing Er looked at Jing Wu as if looking at a child whose innocence had not yet left him, that intense killing intent seeming no more than the naughtiness of a child.
He smiled gently and nodded.
The very next second, all the humans who still held a sliver of hope, at this moment, felt nothing but fear and despair.
The mirror Evil Fallen looked at Nie Chongshan with some sympathy, the almost lifeless judge gasping for air as he mocked Bai Wu with his faint voice.
It was as if this person... from this moment on, was already a dead man.
Wu Jiu and Zheng Yue, feeling the terrifying aura, snapped out of their dreams. The merchant collapsed to the ground, breathing with difficulty.
Wu Jiu looked towards the two figures in the distance as if facing a formidable enemy.
Zheng Yue’s mouth trembled:
"Damn... this monster... why has it come again? Why the hell didn’t you make this clear? If I’d known about this kind of monster, I wouldn’t have come even if we were to sever ties!"
The blacksmith stepped back several meters, looking at Jing Wu and Jing Er with a godlike reverence in his eyes.
"Divine punishment descends, your efforts are ultimately in vain!"
Liu Mu stopped fighting as well, facing the two humanoid figures floating in midair, for the first time he felt fear coming from his soul.
Even though the battle hadn’t even started.
In Yan Zizai’s hand was a vial, the same concoction once used by Yan Zhao.
He was all too aware of the gulf between humans and Well Level monsters, so to protect Bai Wu, he was prepared to fight to the death.
Wu Jiu wiped the tainted blood of the Evil Fallen from his blade. He showed no sign of cowardice; in his eyes, Bai Wu was a member of his team.
A captain protecting his team members is a matter of course.
The twenty-four Black Flame Iron Cavalry lined up in front of the gigantic Hydra, ready to give their all for the refuge.
Jing Er floated midair, looking down at the mortals below, and spoke gently:
"War only brings wanton casualties. The gods have already divided you into your respective areas, so why do you cross boundaries and gather together?"
"I will not interfere with your affairs, after all, war is an indispensable part of the pursuit for peace, but I hope that after today, you all will learn to love this world, learn to be grateful for everything the gods have given you."
"Send your representatives from the High Tower, let’s talk in a milder manner. The gods will favor those who are reasonable and sensible. Perhaps what you desire can be given to you without resorting to war, as long as you... are not too greedy."
Jing Er hoped that his merciful words could invisibly dissolve much of the fighting spirit among the people.
But Jing Wu felt that his elder brother’s feigned compassion ironically showed a lack of understanding towards humanity.
Indeed, not long after Jing Er, as if a god, spoke from on high, complete with these words.
Colt grinned:
"Da da da da da da da..."
He knew that the figure in the sky, glowing with golden light like a Buddha’s child, could easily destroy him.
But he couldn’t help but laugh.
Gratitude? Love? Territories?
Is this what the gods speak of? Is this the perspective of the gods? No wonder in the myths of this world, there are always tales of humans slaying gods.
Because the gods... simply cannot see the suffering of the mortal world.
Trapped in one place for seven hundred years, why should one be grateful?
There was a time when this world also had love and hope, but the gods that destroyed it all, why should people still be grateful?
As their families were killed one by one by the Evil Fallen, people used every means possible to take refuge in the High Tower seven hundred years ago.
In order to obtain resources for survival, people fought and robbed each other.
At a time like this, you talk to me about love? I love you my ass!
While Lu Yan’s mouth on his face cursed people, the one on his chest was often more polite, but feeling a sense of empathy with Colt, he said with both mouths simultaneously:
"Fuck your god!"
Following Lu Yan and Colt’s statements, Qian Yixin, Yuan Ye, Liu Mu, Nie Chongshan, and other Evil Fallen all started showing their willingness to fight.
Qin Zong looked at these Evil Fallen, looked at Gu Hailin, whom Wu Jiu had mentioned as a senior from the Investigation Corps of the past, and was surprised... facing such a despairing force, were these people really not afraid?
Then he saw Bai Xiaoyu, Lin Wurou, Wang Shi, and the members of the Vanguard Group from the Investigation Corps’s Seventh Squad, who had once worked together with Wu Jiu and Bai Wu.
They were scared, trembling, but they were also taking steps forward, one by one.
If you have the green hills, you need not worry about firewood! If they were afraid, they only had to activate the Return Roulette!
But it seemed like these people had forgotten that retreating was even an option.
Yet Qin Zong also realized... those with the courage to overcome their fear were always in the minority. Most people were still afraid.
The mercenaries from the High Tower, and the vast majority from the Investigation Corps... when faced with two Well Level monsters, the mere sight of them standing there filled them with fear.
This fear drained all courage for battle from their hearts.
Qin Zong wanted to yell out words of encouragement, but even he was facing such immense power for the first time.
This was the first time he knew of such terrifying beings outside the tower, and he couldn’t imagine how to fight against such monsters.
This battle... did it even have meaning? Could humanity really step out of the High Tower?
Facing this kind of force, it seemed like an unreachable dream.
There was a fire in his heart, but he always lacked the strength to let it out.
In the darkness, Gu Hailin and the twenty-four Black Flame Iron Cavalry seemed to know that the most brutal moment of this battle was about to come.
Evil Fallen could smell the fear in the air from humans. Gu Hailin knew that when two Well Level monsters appeared at the same time, humans had already lost.
Without the desire to fight, without the courage. But he did not accept such an outcome.
Maybe the end was destined to be a failure, but at least in this battle, it could choose the way it would die.
It started moving forward constantly, the crowd was negligible, the Well Level monsters could easily ignore their forward steps.
But when a creature as huge as the Hydra started moving, the whole ground was slightly shaking.
The Garrison Corps kept giving ground, they didn’t know what Gu Hailin was trying to do, they only felt a sort of resolution, and as Gu Hailin moved forward, people silently made way for him.
Before long, Gu Hailin reached the front lines.
Only a hundred meters separated him from the two Well Level monsters.
When the Hydra stopped, people were shocked, everyone noticed something...
The already huge Hydra was becoming even bigger!
Perfect Level Mutation Entry·Super Gigantification.
This Mutation Entry gave the Hydra a massive body, but the people of Baichuan City had always thought that Gu Hailin had already shown his full body; it was at this moment that they realized... the Hydra could become even bigger.
It seemed to act as a barricade in front of the two "gods", Gu Hailin, with an almost suicidal approach, stood in front of the monsters.
His message was clear—I stand where the shelter is.
Ninety years ago, facing the Hydra in the shadows, not one of Gu Hailin’s subordinates ran for their lives.
Ninety years later, twenty-four riders of the Black Flame Iron Cavalry, the once-dead captains from the Garrison Corps and Investigation Corps, still stood in neat formation in front of Gu Hailin, waiting for the Legion Commander’s charge cry.
Gu Hailin, who had grown more than twice his size, was the most indestructible gate of the refuge. He lay horizontally between the two armies, with a simple idea—
Even if he died, his corpse would become an unyielding stone blocking the invaders.
That way, he would be able to face his former comrades-in-arms from the Underworld!
Nie Chongshan no longer paid attention to the mirror Evil Fallen; he started to walk slowly forward.
Liu Mu also no longer regarded the blacksmith and followed in Gu Hailin’s footsteps, moving forward.
For the two of them, it was a regret that they had not met in the same era and had not carried out missions outside the tower as humans together.
But at least, now they could face their insurmountable enemies together.
"Black Flame Iron Cavalry!"
In the darkness before dawn, Gu Hailin suddenly let out a shout. His voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the night sky of Baichuan City.
Bai Wu watched Gu Hailin from afar, feeling a complex emotion rising in his heart.
It was a feeling he had never had before; he knew what the Legion Commander, who had long since forsaken his human identity, was about to say.
"We are the old soldiers of the Investigation Corps! We are scavengers from the last era that should have died! For us, we have already lived long enough in this world!"
"Perhaps today the shelter is doomed not to be established, perhaps the dream we have guarded for ninety years is destined to be but an illusion! But I have no regrets, even if I were to die for such an illusion!"
"The journey through hell is destined to be congested today. If it is our fate to die in this city, let us go first... May our skeletons become beacons for our descendants in their pursuit of freedom!"
"Investigation Corps! Charge!"
The giant figure began to charge!
Facing a power so great it brought despair, that was the answer from the soldiers of the previous generation’s Investigation Corps!
The most terrifying thing one could experience in life is death. But for them, from the moment they underwent the Evil Fallen Transformation, they had already experienced a fear that surpassed death!
Ninety years of vigil, from an unreal and vain promise to an aspiration that everyone yearned for, all the way to this darkest moment before dawn...
All the emotions exploded in this instant!
Gu Hailin, Nie Chongshan, Liu Mu, the elite captains of the former two armies, alongside the charge call, embarked on a heroic march to their death!
Colt, Lu Yan, Qian Yixin, Yuan Ye, these Evil Fallen who were not part of the Investigation Corps, also launched their charges!
Feeling this tragic determination, the pitch-black sky seemed to ignite at this very moment.
Qin Zong silently shed tears, not understanding why he couldn’t stop them from flowing. freёwebnovel.com
Witnessing those charging figures, he felt as if his soul was being painfully sliced by a knife.
How wonderful would it have been to work together with such exemplary Investigation Corps predecessors in the High Tower?
If the tragedy ninety years ago had not occurred, what would the High Tower look like now?
How many such deeds had his own family committed throughout history?
But there are no "ifs" in life, and many past regrets can only remain as regrets forever.
However, the accumulation of numerous regrets at this moment made Qin Zong, always calm, perform the most spirited and courageous act of his life!
This leader of the human forces at the very front, the scion of the High Tower’s ruler, the Legion Commander on whom countless people had pinned their hopes for a bright future—
Raised the Return Roulette high.
The timid Human Allied Forces witnessed an astonishing scene at this moment.
Qin Zong smashed the Return Roulette down hard!
Then, without a single word, Qin Zong, the current Commander of the Investigation Corps, joined the ranks of the charge, facing the endless darkness!
All fear had turned into flames of anger at this moment, and those who were still afraid felt an emotion constantly assaulting them!
It was as if even death was no longer frightening!
"Investigation Corps, charge!"
This battle cry was not as earthshaking as Gu Hailin’s, but it made Gu Hailin’s ex-husband turn around sharply and witness a scene that brought tears to his eyes.
Wang Shi, Long Xiao, Meng Yuan, Feng Zhan... More and more people were taking the same action.
One after another, the soldiers of the Investigation Corps shattered their Return Roulettes, signifying their resolve to sink or swim!
They knew about the tragedy from ninety years ago.
That year...
The soldiers who had been dispatched away could not return to the High Tower because of the Return Roulette. Yet they did not die. Instead, they lived on with even loftier ideals.
When facing the Hydra—
Gu Hailin lifted the Return Roulette high and smashed it to the ground with force.
Countless soldiers from both armies expressed their anger towards the High Tower through the same gesture.
This year...
Qin Zong made the same move! Countless soldiers of the Investigation Corps did the same!
The ever-despairing Gu Hailin never thought that, ninety years later, he would encounter such a group of honorable humans!
Gu Hailin suddenly felt that his waiting had been worth it—their ability to die on such a battlefield was also worthy.
He shouted into the darkness of the night:
"Bai Wu! I have seen the refuge! I have resolved the regret of ninety years!"
Red light surged within Bai Wu’s body as he looked at the massive silhouette in the night sky.
He said to Yan Zizai, calmly,
"Yan Zizai, make sure that Gu Hailin survives."
Yan Zizai nodded and replied,
"I know what to do, but what about you? They’re coming for you. We—"
Bai Wu smiled,
"Yes, even if we joined forces, we definitely couldn’t defeat an enemy like this. So what’s next... Your job is to send people to the east campus, our partnership is over. The Judge is seriously injured and won’t cause trouble for a while."
"A Well-Level monster is not something you can deal with. It’s all up to me and Evil Fallen."
Yan Zizai was puzzled,
"What are you going to do?"
"I have a madman in my bones, a qualified madman, and the first thing to do is to learn to scorn death. Besides, I’m also a member of the Legion. See? My commanders are leading the charge; I can’t back down either."
Yan Zizai still didn’t understand the meaning of Bai Wu’s words.
With Gu Hailin’s call to charge, humanity might have found the courage to face two Well-Level at this moment, but the gap in strength... had not narrowed.
Bai Wu didn’t explain.
He just reached into his bag and pulled out a bottle.
Inside the bottle, was something left behind at this school by Jing Liu, something with a ninety-five percent mortality rate.
Well Water.
