My Salvation Game Became true?!-Chapter 126 - 125: Time for a Formal Conversation!

Chapter 126 -125: Time for a Formal Conversation!

In White Wood Forest, Fang You, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly slumped over softly, and An Jianyou quickly caught him in her arms. She had already recalled No.1 through No.6, surrounded herself in a circle, and looked like a puffed-up rabbit with her eyes wide open, staring intently at the surroundings.

Meanwhile,

Fang You had transferred his consciousness hundreds of kilometers away through the descent technique, entering the body of a spirit of illusion, which immediately took on his form.

He stepped out, enveloped in golden light, and looked at the silhouette still marked with traces of maggots.

“We meet again.”

…

...

“How could we… meet again!”

Though shrouded in golden light, Maggot Man recognized the figure immediately.

The human who had sabotaged his plans!

Despicable! Hateful! Must be killed!

He turned and rushed like the wind into the crowd of investigators who were close by, in pursuit.

He didn’t attack, just used their figures as cover to hide.

This guy, he’s using hostages as leverage?

“But perhaps you underestimate me.”

“Lightning can be as thick as a python or as fine as a thread.”

He flicked his finger, and electricity burst forth like threads, instantly forming a net.

Heaven’s Net!

It shot between the investigators, ensnaring Maggot Man while the threads of lightning shattered the white plaster restraining the investigators.

The next second,

The net tightened, and lightning exploded upward into the sky under his strong control, forming a column of azure electricity.

Fang You readied another bolt of lightning in his palm, prepared to strike again.

But inside the column, the silhouette revealed its true form made of countless white maggots, and within the azure lightning, each little white worm turned black, turned to ash, and disintegrated.

Dead.

Dead again.

However,

“Master, there’s still no kill record,” Mysterious Evil observed.

Fang You was getting a bit irritated too, catching a glimpse of the churning mist, heaving in and out like breaths, as a massive entity emerged.

It was a three-star Ghastly Realm Flesh Giant.

Fang You slapped the half-gathered lightning in his palm towards the distance.

Boom—!

A sea of lightning engulfed the Flesh Giant who had just stepped forward, along with the other Mysterious Evils around it.

He didn’t care for it and simply said, “Illusion, keep an eye on the other Ghastly Realm Gates.”

“Mhm, I’m watching, I’m watching.”

“I haven’t found that Maggot Man, but just now there was a large-scale mist breath at Shuize State’s Ghastly Realm Gate. Comparing it to the previous situation in Silver City, Illusion is 99.6% sure the enemy has appeared there.”

Fang You cast his gaze into the distance.

Soon, he withdrew from the descended state, pausing at the moment just before completing the descent, capturing the anchor of conviction.

The next moment,

In the eyes of the investigators looking up at the sky, the golden figure, like a deity, took one step forward, and its form gradually faded until it disappeared.

Around the Silver City defense perimeter, commotion was just beginning to stir.

Exclamations rose from all around.

…

In Shuize State, on the outskirts of a third-tier small city.

Mist pervaded as one monster after another emerged.

Pei Hongjing stood on a high platform, with the wind blowing briskly across his garment. His expression was focused. Suddenly, he slapped the card pack on his waist and with a “Cards, come forth,” several gray cards floated up, spinning around him, and then, as he pointed gently, the cards shot out, exploding into a brilliant burst of firelight, obliterating the clustered Mysterious Evils, sending chunks of their bodies flying.

Shouts rang out from nearby.

Following this battle, Pei Hongjing’s name as Chairman Pei spread widely through Shuize State.

Pei Hongjing’s face had a mature handsome man’s faint smile, which suddenly turned solemn as he looked around seriously, sweeping his gaze inch by inch.

Because the intensity of the Evil Tide was not high, they were still at the very front of the defense line, immediately eradicating any Mysterious Evils that emerged.

Very efficient.

The number of Mysterious Evils on the field was also kept low, but he hadn’t seen any humanoid figures.

“What’s wrong?” the state director beside him asked.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Hongjing said, “Just now there was a particularly strong breath from the mist, but no extra-large Mysterious Evil appeared. I’m wondering if there’s something abnormal inside.”

The state director was momentarily stunned, then saw Pei Hongjing throw out the flying cards – a dozen cards spinning away towards the center of the mist, bursting violently.

He had just detonated them casually, but it seemed like he had really blasted something out?

…

The dirt-covered Maggot Man was bewildered.

The explosion caused him little harm, but his spirit was greatly wounded.

What in the world was happening?

He had made all the preparations, set up five additional Ghastly Realm Gates for a diversion.

He had moved cautiously, controlling some three-star Mysterious Evils outside the main gate to shield and guard the blood altars.

He had kept his dignity, making strategic retreats.

He had many plans in reserve, discarding many bodies to escape to another area, to another and another area.

But why…

Did he get blasted into a mess as soon as he stepped out?

Maggot Man looked up at the sky, feeling quite confused.

In his bewildered eyes, a figure enshrouded in golden light gradually appeared.

He had arrived.

Indeed, he had been pursued.

Maggot Man couldn’t comprehend how he had been followed across a thousand miles. With his insight, he couldn’t understand, there was no flaw to understand; he had given up; he lay flat.

I won’t run! But…

“Hiss… This priest… will surely… return here again!”

He would remember.

The next moment, thunderbolt struck down, swallowing his figure.

…

‘Ding!’

‘Notice: Defeated “Throne-level·Maggot Man Priest” incarnation, Mysterious value +15, obtained “Skill Training Card”, various “Strange Crystals”, acquired a random small treasure chest (white).’

‘Notice: Defeating the Maggot Man Priest incarnation has granted you the Strange Implement “Maggot’s Body (Blue)”. ‘

Fang You glanced at it and shook his head slightly.

It was nothing more than a mediocre Strange Implement.

It could form a Maggot Man avatar; the effect was somewhat similar to that of the Maggot Man priests, and the ability wasn’t bad, but the side effects were somewhat terrifying.

If used for too long, the user’s body would begin to grow maggots, increasing in number over time until they completely consumed the body.

Just thinking about it sent shivers down one’s spine.

Compared to this Strange Implement, he was more curious about what “Throne-level” meant.

He looked down, the golden light faded, and his consciousness returned to his body.

…

Inside the borders of Dong Huang, six battlefields were gradually drawing to a close.

In the north, one of them.

Yiluo Xi stood on a high platform, gazing into the distance where a hint of dawn’s pale light began emerging at the horizon’s end. The darkness had passed, and dawn was breaking.

Beneath the dawn’s light, shadows bustled about; many people were looking up at her imposing figure.

Hands on her hips, she posed for quite some time before hopping down from the platform with a thud, patting non-existent dust from her body and heading towards the head of the investigation bureau.

As a representative of the Mysterious Evil Hunters, she was there to discuss compensation.

The Hunters who joined the Hunter Association would receive additional points on top of their basic mission rewards, which could be exchanged for non-market items.

Even those who hadn’t joined the Association were laughing heartily today, having received a generous compensation without too much danger.

Of course, the one with the highest compensation was the ‘Scarlet Witch’ Yiluo Xi.

The investigation bureau’s assignment reward was divided into basic station remuneration and overall contribution to the mission, and regarding the contributions… as the top eliminator who single-handedly took care of the only two exceptional Mysterious Evils, Yiluo Xi’s rewards were comparable to that of half of all Mysterious Evil Hunters combined.

Seeing such a substantial sum deposited, watching Yiluo Xi, who was still so young, already achieving financial freedom… they dared not envy her, but they couldn’t help but long for what she had.

At that moment, Yiluo Xi waved her hand grandly, “I’ve booked the whole Pei’s Grand Hotel for today. All expenses are on me today to celebrate our victory, let’s get wild!”

The Mysterious Evil Hunters who were biting on lemons saw their eyes gradually light up.

Hey, they weren’t greedy for a free meal, but how could they refuse an invitation from the strong Scarlet Witch?

Let’s go, let’s all go!

A crowd surged toward Pei’s Grand Hotel jovially.

…

By now, the great battle had concluded, but there was still much to do: cleaning up the battlefield, paying out Hunter rewards, compiling information, organizing intelligence, and so on.

For the investigation bureau, there was a lot of work left.

Huang Hongtian was already back in the Yunling State’s bureau office, taking a temporary rest.

He left all the above tasks to others. To him, there were more important matters to consider, decisions to be made.

“This time, the simultaneous opening of six Gates of Hell is indeed no mere coincidence.”

“The figure behind the scenes is that shadow, made up of countless white bugs, possessing intelligence, capable of controlling Mysterious Evils, and moreover… he can change into a human form! He even seems to have learned our Dong Huang language!”

Thinking of an insect person transforming into a human and infiltrating human society gave him the chills.

Maggot Man!

The disaster that unites six!

The other side of the Gate of Hell!

Could there be other ghastly creatures that have slipped into their human society?

“If it weren’t for the powerful one wielding thunder who appeared this time, we wouldn’t know how great a disaster would have occurred.”

“He wielded thunder, stood among the clouds, possessed the power to destroy heavens and obliterate earth. A simple strike from him could leave a palm imprint dozens of meters long.”

“He emerged from golden light, traversing thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, calling down thunderbolts, his abilities inconceivable.”

Bureau chief Huang picked up his pen, writing down all he had seen and heard today.

As part of the archives.

And finally, he wrote down four words—Torch Mentor.

“Torch is definitely not as simple as we’ve imagined.”

Luo Sha, sitting opposite, nodded—clearly stating the obvious.

“So, what do you plan to do? Managing civilian Awakeners is also a responsibility of your investigation bureau,” he said.

Huang shook his head, “They can no longer be treated as simple civilian Awakeners, nor as a powerful civilian organization.”

“Perhaps, Torch has never been a civilian organization at all.”

“They refer to the ‘Gate of Hell’ as ‘Ghastly Realm Gate’. They can accurately locate Mysterious Evils, and they are incredibly powerful beyond imagination.”

“It’s very likely that they know more about Mysterious Evils and other secrets than we do.”

Is that possible?

Thinking of everything he had witnessed today, Luo Sha thought that maybe it wasn’t impossible.

He looked at Huang, awaiting what came next.

Huang Hongtian paused before saying, “We need to have an official conversation with Torch, with that mysterious Torch Mentor.”

“Now?” asked Luo Sha.

“Not now.” Huang shook his head, “The mentor and Black Blade disappear as soon as a battle ends, we won’t miss out on anything if we wait a little longer. Right now, Torch is relentless in dealing with Mysterious Evils, but their purpose, existence, and members are almost unknown to us, we only see the surface, which is too passive.”

“Before engaging in dialogue, we need to conduct a deeper investigation to gain some initiative.”

Huang’s mind flashed with the image of those three figures.

He fell into deep thought.
