Abyss Sequence-Chapter 402 - 59: The Faithful’s Meeting

[Damn! Bilukova actually woke up!]

In an unknown chat room, the high-level member code-named ’Number Seven’ of the Abyssal Believers roared in anger.

[What was Walter Gack doing? How could a Second Rank lose to Bilukova, who hasn’t fully recovered her strength?]

Number Nine stood up and spoke a fair word: [You can’t blame him for that. Based on what Wu Zechuan revealed at the press conference earlier, Bilukova is both the prey and the hunter. They anticipated that we might send someone to attack Bilukova. So, it’s quite normal for Walter Gack to fail.]

Number Three continued the topic: [At least now we know that the Elf from Alfheim indeed listens to Sasa and is very powerful. Given time to prepare, they can restrain the actions of a Second Rank.]

Number Seven wasn’t so angry; he was just furious and panicked due to the assassination failure, having not killed Yulia.

Regardless, Yulia is the strongest Engraver on Blue Star.

From the information revealed by Wu Zechuan, it’s clear they’ve found a method to become Sequence One.

Even though Yulia is very old, whether she can become Sequence One is still a question. Even if she becomes Sequence One, she might not be a match for ’Number Zero’, but he still couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Then, Number Four asked: [Number Zero, I remember Walter Gack is your adopted son, right?]

Number Zero: [So?]

Number Four: [Aren’t you going to avenge him?]

Number Zero was silent for a moment, saying softly: [He lost his life for our great ideals, which is his glory. I will carry his responsibility and live on, ultimately leading Blue Star to a farther future.]

Hearing this, everyone present cursed inwardly.

Among them, who besides Number Zero would take the slogan ’to a farther future’ to heart? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

No one!

No one would do that!

In the hearts of others, that’s just an illusory slogan, the cheapest thing in the world.

But to cooperate with Number Zero, they still mumbled softly: [For the farther future.]

Number Zero felt incredibly ironic listening to these voices.

They clearly didn’t believe in these things, yet they pretended to be devout believers, like the masks they used to deceive lower-level believers.

These people had no beliefs or sincerity, only loyalty to their endless desires. Fundamentally, they were not on the same path.

However, the Watchers still needed the followers’ support, so he could not comment on this.

Number Zero went silent and logged out of the chat room.

After Number Zero left, the others finally spoke freely.

[How should we deal with Yan Luo next? Crimson No.2 is his stronghold. Should we use Li Xinyue to lure him out?]

[No, Li Xinyue is currently the chairman of Bao Han Company. If she dies, we’ll be breaking the rules.]

[Right, don’t forget, the reason we are accepted by the rich is that we haven’t attacked them. Li Xinyue is already considered one of the wealthy, and she hasn’t clearly opposed us yet. Attacking her will only make the rich on the surface more repulsed by us.]

[Heh, why is it ’more’ repulsed? Does someone still remember what they did before? Trying to instigate us for Bao Han Company?]

[You shortsighted guys! Isn’t Li Xinyue already an overt enemy to us?]

[To us, she is indeed an enemy, but what about in the eyes of others? As long as we’re still in this circle, we must consider the perspectives of others.]

[True, someone, stop playing those tricks. You already have the operatives on the surface under your control. Isn’t that enough? How much benefit have you gained for yourself and your family behind you, yet you’re still so greedy?]

Unable to endure the continuous taunts, Wang Xiu left the chat room.

After ’Number Four’ left the chat room, it fell into a brief silence.

[However, Yan Luo indeed poses a problem. More importantly, I’m worried that the Watcher Sect might leave us.]

[Why say that? How could they leave us? Don’t they need support? Don’t they need a place to hide?]

[Because even if we eliminate the Abyss, Magic Power won’t fade——this information is recorded on the metal plate excavated from Da Yu’s tomb. Yan Luo saw this information and conveyed it to archaeologists. Among them, I had a person who personally told me that after our ancestors severed the connection with the Abyss, Magic Power didn’t disappear. It was Zhuang Xu’s ’Sever the Heaven and Earth’ ceremony that caused Magic Power to decline.]

[What? Is that how it is?]

[If that’s the case, then the Watcher Sect indeed has no reason to continue guarding the Abyss...]

[They guarded the Abyss because they feared Magic Power’s decline after its eradication. But if the Abyss’s disappearance won’t cause Magic Power to decline, what reason do they have to keep guarding it?]

[If this news reaches their ears, it might cause many to have a mental breakdown.]

[So, we must seal this information. No matter what, we cannot let this news reach the Watcher Sect.]

[And those on the surface?]

[Those can be abandoned. After all, they are in an environment where they can receive various external information, and we can’t control them.]

[With this, our power will shrink... making it harder to deal with Yan Luo!]

[Damn it! That brat always comes to mess with us!]

[Should have sent someone to get rid of him before he matured!]

[What’s the use of saying that now? Did you think of such a thing back then? Did you imagine Yan Luo would become so strong now?]

The Abyssal Believers’ high-level members in the chat room quarreled and shifted the blame.

After a while of arguing, the chat room became quiet again.

[...No matter how you say it, it’s now a fact that Yan Luo has become strong. We can’t deal with him; we can only find a way to trip him up.]

[How to trip him up?]

[What about introducing ’demons’? Our ancestral rituals should be effective.]

[Are you crazy? Summon demons? Don’t you know how much demons pollute the world? According to our ancestors’ records, once summoned, demons will cause even more environmental destruction than Evil Gods!]

[Have you seen an Evil God? And you say demons destroy the world’s environment more than Evil Gods!]

[Enough! Stop arguing! I decide that actions against Yan Luo will be temporarily halted. From now on, he’ll be handed over to Number Zero!]

[Number Zero? Are you sure he won’t just abandon us? These idealistic guys are the most disgusting!]

[No, Number Zero won’t abandon us.]

Number Nine, who seemed familiar with Number Zero, the leader of the Watcher Sect, said: [You’ve all been fooled into believing he’s a maniac willing to do evil for his ideals. But my father and Number Zero were once in the same unit, and he knows Number Zero well. Even Number Zero joined us initially because of my father’s invitation. Number Zero is not an idealistic fanatic willing to do anything at any cost; he never was. Everything he’s done is all for himself!]

[Back then, Number Zero joined us for support, and now he won’t leave us either, because we are still useful. The knowledge we hold is a restraint to him. He wants to obtain the knowledge we possess and go farther than our ancestors.]

At that moment, a high-level member of the Abyssal Believers left the chat room suddenly, and though someone noticed, they didn’t pay much attention.

They all had prominent identities, being one of the few top-tier wealth holders on Blue Star, and occasionally encountered matters needing their direct intervention, which was not unprecedented.

Unbeknownst to them, the high-level Abyssal Believer who went offline was now sweating profusely.

"Wh-what do you want to do?"

He looked at the tall man who appeared before him, staring at his rugged, resolute face, gritting his teeth and growling, "Roger Wilson!"

The Saint said nothing, spread his broad hand to grasp the person’s head, and extracted his soul from his body.

"You’re of no use anymore."
