Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 596 - 463 missing?
Such a tall and burly figure, even among the brawny warriors in the military camp, was quite rare.
In this Black Street, he naturally stood out even more.
A familiar silhouette immediately came to mind for Bai E, almost like an instinct.
Bai E shifted his steps and headed straight in that direction.
Sitting down next to the imposing figure, Bai E turned his head and could see the man's stout, white stubble.
The hair, looking dirty and curly, hung wildly; the whole person was unkempt, resembling a farmer who had grown tired from labor and also an artist experiencing life.
"How come I have never seen you before?" Bai E asked with a smile.
The man didn't turn his head, just kept gazing into the distance, "I haven't seen you either... but I've heard of you."
Although he didn't receive the news immediately when Black Street had an accident last time, when he returned to his ordinary labor in Black Street afterward, the influence brought by the old soldier from Black Street who had received news from the military camp and the words he said could always be heard from the mouths of various people.
The mysterious and powerful ruler of Black Street, it turned out, was just an ordinary soldier from the military camp.
"Oh? What have you heard about me?" Bai E raised an eyebrow, curious about what he knew.

The tall and burly man didn't answer immediately, instead, he seemed to talk about other unrelated topics, "The expedition to the bug nest yesterday, it failed again?"
Ordinary people certainly didn't dare to observe military operations, for if discovered, they could lose their heads, but such a large-scale operation obviously couldn't be concealed from the Doctor, who had elite warriors.
More than ten thousand people went, but only about a thousand returned.
This astonishing rate of casualties undoubtedly represented one outcome—failure in the campaign.
However, under the premise of a failed campaign, to still see Bai E here in a casual pose already explained a lot.
He didn't lose despite the campaign's failure.
It was even possible that he had shone brilliantly during the collapse of the entire army after the failed campaign, so much so that he was immediately put to thorough use upon returning to the military district.
Otherwise, Bai E, who was confined last time for disciplinary violations, wouldn't have been able to leave the military camp so easily.
"Yeah... it failed," Bai E nodded, "Many people died..."
"In this era, isn't it only natural for people to die?" the Doctor shook his head with a wry smile, "Your pointless kindness will be your greatest enemy."
"Whatever," Bai E responded noncommittally, simply staring at the man's profile and calmly asking, "So should I call you 'Doctor'? Or what?"
"Whatever you like, since this is likely our last encounter anyway."
"Huh?" Bai E was startled; the Doctor's response was somewhat unexpected.
"You think I'm definitely going to fight you?" For the first time, the Doctor turned his head, his rugged face suddenly giving off a somewhat familiar feeling.
"…" Bai E pursed his lips, not making a sound.
That was indeed what he thought.
No matter from which channel he obtained information, this Doctor was always portrayed as a cold-blooded and ruthless mad scientist, following behind the girl named Nova he had taken away.
To reclaim Nova, the other side was bound to have a bloody showdown with him.
But only with his current strength at hand could he afford to sit here and chat with the other side as if they were friends.
"Nova is my daughter."
The Doctor calmly dropped a bombshell of a revelation.
"She actually died in an accidental incident..."
"All the souls in that area reside within Nova's body, to the extent that her own personality has completely fallen into slumber."
"In that final moment, Nova subconsciously protected everyone, so everyone also subconsciously protected her."
"All the souls within that body exist to protect Nova's main soul, and only when it's truly 'safe' will they allow the soul named 'Nova' to truly control her own body."
The Doctor's somewhat aged eyes looked at Bai E, and for a moment, his eyes reflected a touch of paternal tenderness, "I came after her just to see if she's doing well."
Bai E pursed his lips, silent for a long time.
He never expected that the truth about Nova would be this.
"Nova is the most perfect creation of my life; do not let down her trust in you, otherwise... I won't let you off. But for now, I must return."
The moment the old man stood up, it was as if the aura of iron and blood surged through him again, "The reason these natural disasters pose such a huge threat to humanity is that our human bodies are too fragile. I want to create a batch of ordinary human angels who can ignore all difficulties and execute our human will to sweep away all formidable foes."
"Of course, you're averse to the sacrifices in this world, so naturally, you're also averse to everything I do in Grey Iron City; we are naturally enemies. I have no intention of justifying my actions now, but if you can't stand the current situation in Grey Iron City, then come find me when you have enough power in the future. I will do everything I wish to, until success, or until I am taken down."
The old man walked towards the distance, his tall figure burning like the sun at midmorning.
