Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 257 - 256 Abyss Fire 3

"How are you supposed to figure it out? They won’t just tell you!"

As a man and a cat communicated, Zhou Bai had already clashed fiercely with the three strongest Heavenly Demons, their blades colliding with thunderous explosions, the howl of the great air much like banshees screaming, and a continuous stream of sparks shooting out from the point of impact.

Amidst the overflowing Sword Qi, large swathes of ducts began to collapse and shatter.

However, within the first few seconds of battle, Zhou Bai’s body was instantly covered with all sorts of wounds, his muscles and bones seeming as if they were about to be crushed, constantly in danger of being torn apart by several Heavenly Demons.

Chenyin also kept bending and cracking, like an overstretched rubber band about to snap.

Meanwhile, the weaker Heavenly Demons from the Heavenly Demon Sect continued to surge forward relentlessly. Although they were extremely weak, Zhou Bai still had to divert a hint of strength to combat them.

And every bit of strength, every bit of attention he diverted, meant the pressure on Zhou Bai increased slightly.

Christina yelled, "It’s no use, Zhou Bai, three level-5 Heavenly Demons, there’s no way to beat them, quickly use Time Reverse!"

Zhou Bai frowned slightly. Indeed, he hadn’t exerted his full strength yet, and he still had trump cards he hadn’t played, such as lying down, such as Star Shattering Sword Swift, such as Ugly Disaster.

But after all, he was only at the second realm; even with these trump cards, he couldn’t possibly defeat three level-5 Heavenly Demons.

In fact, with the cultivation of the second realm, being able to temporarily withstand the onslaught of three level-5 Heavenly Demons was enough to shock countless people.

"It won’t do." Zhou Bai pulled out a necklace, "At the very least, we need to know what they are up to. Tina! Elsa! Guard me!"

"Do you want to see your own future?"

Swish! Accompanied by a flash of white light, the three level-5 Heavenly Demons were already invaded by the power of the divination, their eyes reflecting a confusion as they gazed at the potential futures they might face.

Unless an external force awakened them, they would have to see the future depicted in the divination to its end before they could come to.

At the same time, Zhou Bai’s spirit had also entered the vision, observing the futures of the three demons.

As they froze in their actions, Christina and Elsa burst out from Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness.

Christina’s Primordial Spirit stirred, and Chenyin was already being controlled through the air by her, sweeping toward the surrounding Heavenly Demons.

Simultaneously, Elsa let out a shout and transformed into the shape of a Shiba Inu before leaping out, and amid the thunderous noise, she charged like a tank, slamming straight into the mobs of Heavenly Demons and sending them flying.

A few seconds later, Zhou Bai snapped back to reality and without hesitation, activated the gemstone.

In an instant, everything came to a standstill: the roaring of the Heavenly Demons, the shooting Chenyin, the charging Elsa, all suspended in mid-air.

Then time reversed, and everything returned to the state it was 30 minutes prior.

Christina and Elsa went back half an hour in time, returning to Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness, and Zhou Bai himself reappeared in the underground duct where he was half an hour earlier.

Due to Time Reverse, Elsa had no memory of what just happened, but Christina remembered everything vividly and quickly asked, "Did you figure out what happened? What exactly are they up to?"

"They want to turn all three hundred million people in the city into Heavenly Demons," Zhou Bai recounted the future he saw, "This divination can extrapolate the future from the point of view of the user and based on the user’s data, to see the possibilities of the future.

I saw that they added something to the city’s drinking water with that big contraption they made; after long-term consumption, all the city’s people will turn into the most basic level-0 Heavenly Demons. Donghua City will be doomed."

"What?!" Christina was also shocked by this plan, "How can they do such a thing? They’ve been building that thing under Donghua City, and no one takes care of it?"

Zhou Bai shook his head, still recalling what he had seen, "There are internal traitors; there are many traitors in Donghua City helping them."

He thought of the silhouettes he had seen in those future visions and shook his head softly, "Damn it, someone who often speaks their lingo—I only saw his back, not his face."

He kept recalling the person’s voice and silhouette, feeling that the voice was incredibly familiar, yet he just couldn’t remember who it was.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he remembered seeing the person’s right hand, which seemed to bear a scar in the palm.

"Could it be someone who injured their right hand recently?"

Zhou Bai furrowed his brows and began to run back, "This is a major issue, I must report it."

Christina said, "Who are you going to report to? I think everyone in Donghua City is leaning towards the Heavenly Demon; it’s like a sieve. You no longer have Time Reverse, what if you’re walking into a trap?"

"Principal Zhao." Zhou Bai stated with certainty, "Principal Zhao Shouyi definitely doesn’t have a problem, I need to tell him what’s going on."

While walking, Zhou Bai suddenly paused and looked at his panel, saying, "Didn’t the Heavenly Demon I sold before Time Reverse bring in 5000 laziness points? Were they deducted?"

Christina replied, "No kidding, you Time Reversed and still expect to bring them back? If you could bring them back, wouldn’t you also bring back all your injuries? Think about it, my Shadow Bearing returned to its original condition after Time Reverse, the sold shoes and clothes came back, so naturally, the laziness points are gone too."

Zhou Bai shook his head regretfully, really wishing he could slay all those Heavenly Demons and sell them for laziness points; he would certainly get a lot of them.

He then hurried all the way back to the school, found Zhao Shouyi’s office, and kept knocking vigorously on the door, but there was no response.

A female assistant approached from the side, "Zhou Bai, are you looking for Principal Zhao for something?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I have an urgent matter for him," said Zhou Bai.

The female assistant shook her head, "The principal is not here right now; maybe you can come back later."

"I have something very important to talk to him about," Zhou Bai said, "Or do you know where he is? Tell me, and I’ll go find him."

The female assistant gave a wry smile, "I can’t disclose the principal’s schedule, and indeed, I don’t know his itinerary this morning."

"So what do I do?!" Zhou Bai sighed, "I really have something very important to talk to him about, it’s a matter of life and death for Donghua City."

The assistant said helplessly, "Why don’t you wait here for him? He said he would be here to meet guests this afternoon."

Zhou Bai nodded reluctantly and sat on a sofa nearby to wait for Zhao Shouyi to return.

He waited until four in the afternoon, and as soon as he saw Zhao Shouyi walking through the door, Zhou Bai immediately went up to meet him excitedly.

"Principal!" Zhou Bai began to speak but then hesitated.

Zhao Shouyi smiled and said, "What’s the matter, Zhou Bai? I heard you were looking for me; has something come up that you wanted to talk about?"

Zhou Bai’s eyes blinked, looking at Zhao Shouyi’s bandaged right hand and asking, "Principal... your hand?"

"Oh, just a small injury from practice, it’ll be fine after a while," Zhao Shouyi answered cheerfully, "What happened? You have something to say? Go ahead, I’ll take care of it for you."

Zhou Bai swallowed, and inside his Sea of Consciousness, Christina was already in an uproar, "Zhao Shouyi injured his right hand too?"

"How could that be such a coincidence?!"

"Is he the traitor you saw?"

"Zhou Bai, you mustn’t tell him; we’ve used up our Time Reverse, if you walk into a trap, we’re done for!"

Zhao Shouyi, looking at the stunned Zhou Bai asked, "What’s the matter? Didn’t you have something to say to me?"

Zhou Bai took a deep breath and said, "It’s just that the breakfast portions recently have gotten smaller, I think I should be given a little more..."
