Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Descent of the God!?
On the street.
The rain threads transformed into countless silver lines falling towards the ground, the accumulated water on the street suspended the entire metal forest, each window flowing with a glow like electronic algae.
The car slowly made its way to the destination under the night sky.
Fang Qingyu and the two others sat in the backseat, all looking sternly at the screen at this moment.
[Mission Code: TX-1076
Operation Zone: Old City’s underground drainage network, C7 area
Objective: Confirm and eliminate Alien God believers (Estimated 2-3 individuals)
Enemy Intelligence: Suspected 2 Level II believers, 1 Level III believer.]
This intelligence.
Refers to which skill the believers have learned up to.
This time’s targets are Alien God believers who have not yet fully entered the extraordinary realm.
Besides the mission panel.
A map was also attached below.
The map marked with blue dashed lines indicated safe roads, while the red lines were areas recently active with believers.
It almost completely monitored them under scrutiny.
The three quickly transferred the map to their respective tactical watches.
Began to wait for mission execution.
After a long silence.
Wu Yan suddenly took the initiative to speak.
"Have you ever killed someone?"
Fang Qingyu thought for a moment and shook his head.
Even after experiencing so many life-and-death struggles, he really hadn’t killed a real person.
The martial arts apprentice who previously came desperately driving to find him.
Also died in the belly of the umbilical demon.
Not by his own hand.
"Alien God believers don’t count as people."
Next to them, Qin Qi spoke chillingly.
Before the two could ask.
She said to herself.
"You’ve never seen what a banquet ritual looks like, but if you have."
"You wouldn’t consider them human."
This point, Fang Qingyu could only silently agree.
Some images.
These matters described simply can’t be captured in brief words on documents.
Moreover, speaking of Alien God believers.
I myself seem to be one...
Except I awakened the Purity Talent.
No need to hold a banquet.
"I agree on this point."
Wu Yan smiled helplessly and raised his hand.
"But what I want to say is, Alien God believers are different from Life Ghosts."
"We have no exchange during fighting with Life Ghosts."
"Either they die, or we live."
"But Alien God believers were once human, when they reach a dead end, they will fight desperately, beg for mercy, try to escape..."
"Understood."
Fang Qingyu nodded lightly.
This truly needs to be prepared in advance.
Adjust the combat strategy.
Just...
"Are our objectives all in the same place this time?"
Fang Qingyu watched the vehicles overtaking them outside the window, feeling somewhat familiar.
"Hehe, you guys don’t know this, do you?"
Hearing this, Wu Yan leaned over quietly and whispered.
Both looked at him.
Wu Yan always had more information than others.
"Aren’t you curious why this rain in our world has been falling for so long without stopping?"
"It’s just the weather... Shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"
Qin Qi frowned as she listened.
"Wrong."
"This is actually an anomaly."
Wu Yan argued solemnly after hearing this.
"What kind of anomaly?"
Fang Qingyu asked curiously.
"An anomaly of a God’s descent!!"
The driver ahead was like a deaf person, mindlessly driving without caring, and didn’t notice Fang Qingyu and Qin Qi’s shocked expressions.
Fang Qingyu mulled over the words for a moment and confirmed again, "You mean, a god has descended!?"
"Yes."
"Although I don’t know who the god is, I just know tonight we are gathering the net, but we lack manpower, so even rookies like us are called in."
Wu Yan lay back with his hands behind his head, as if releasing something pent up for long, with an indescribable casualness.
Fang Qingyu paused for quite a while listening...
Then puzzledly asked: "Why do you know such secret things?"
This kind of intelligence is definitely not something prep soldiers assigned to the corners could know.
With this remark.
Wu Yan, on the other hand, seemed stunned as he sat up straight.
"Geez, haven’t you really looked into me at all!?"
"Why would I investigate you..."
Fang Qingyu sighed with a headache.
Qin Qi couldn’t stand it anymore, explaining while holding her forehead: "Wu Yu is his dad."
"The Director of the Divine Management Bureau is your dad!?"
Fang Qingyu repeated in surprise.
"Haha..."
"You should be the last one in our special training class to know about this."
Wu Yan looked defeated.
"No wonder... you know so much."
Fang Qingyu finally realized.
Like the information about Tong Ran before and other’s progress.
Wu Yan listened, twitching the corner of his mouth.
Almost becoming withdrawn.
Luckily, the car slowly stopped at this moment.
"Ahem, let’s go, time to execute the mission."
Fang Qingyu led as he got off the car with the gear.
Besides their individual weapons.
There was also a set of very cool equipment.
Pitch-black trench coats and gas masks with night vision functions.
The three quickly changed into them.
It wasn’t just the three of them here.
A team from the Divine Management Bureau had already prepared the setup here.
As soon as the three changed into their gear.
A group of people surrounded them immediately, setting up a guard line.
"Let’s go."
After checking the equipment, Fang Qingyu led the way to the entrance’s manhole cover.
The sound of raindrops drumming on the gas mask was particularly crisp.
As the manhole cover was lifted, the acidic stench of mold mixed with the metallic rain directly assaulted the mask.
Qin Qi pulled out a glow stick from the tactical pack and snapped it, the eerie green glow seeping down the walls.
Fang Qingyu grabbed the cold crossbars and started to descend.
Wu Yan was the last to enter the shaft.
Once they began to descend.
The three fell silent.
Only engaging in necessary communication.
Otherwise, they needed to remain silent, observing their surroundings while executing a mission.
The main underground route was wider than expected.
The rusted support beams of the vaulted ceiling resembled the rib cage of a colossal beast overhead.
The three moved in a single-file line along the wall.
Fang Qingyu brought up the map on his wristwatch and began checking along the red line.
But hadn’t taken more than a few steps.
In the dark, damp terrain ahead, a patch of white appeared...
A mishmash of stacked bones.
The water ripples spread under their feet, and countless pale bones drifted and clashed in the sewage like scattered building blocks.
Rib bones tangled in rusty grills, skulls half-immersed in sludge.
In an instant, the spooky and foul atmosphere.
Became somewhat horrifying.
"Human bones?"
Fang Qingyu asked with his eyes.
Picking up a bone and examining it, Wu Yan nodded.
The three remained silent.
Moving forward.
Just now, there were too many bones to count.
Only by first killing the Alien God believers here can the answer be known.
The air in the underground tunnel was thick and clammy.
The feeling of tactical boots on moss was like stepping on the skin of some living creature.
The third time they turned a corner.
Fang Qingyu suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to halt.
Even though there was no movement.
Wu Yan and Qin Qi still drew their weapons.
Fang Qingyu’s fingers touched the long knife at his waist, the gold and silver pattern quietly covered his body under the coat.
After a while...
A raspy muttering with an eerie echo came from the front.
"Holy feast... banquet..."
