Chapter 32 The Truth

Hearing the records on the stone slab, the fat man felt a chill run down his spine. The three worlds mentioned above were clearly the ones they had just experienced: the Jie-Jie Temple, the Black Water Village, and that flesh and blood hospital.

And these three worlds, comparable to hell, were actually just incarnations of the old chairman, causing them, who had struggled to escape from these worlds, to feel a sense of despair.

Of course, the most despairing thing was the last sentence: anyone who has experienced the three cycles of reincarnation and still fails to comprehend the miracle and develop respect will eventually have their flesh destroyed, and their soul will disappear into the endless darkness, accompanied by repentance and despair.

This scene was exactly as described by Yao the Elder!

Those who disappeared from the village were all gradually losing color, eventually turning into a puddle of water, and their souls ascended to the heavens, merging into the boundless Daheitian.

"Do... do you think it could be like this?" Zhu Jie asked, her face pale. "Those lost colors were all taken away by the Daheitian. It was because it took away too many colors, all mixed together, that the Daheitian was formed!"

Zhu Jie's trembling words made the whole scene even more depressing. Now it seemed that this unspeakable existence was Daheitian, and Daheitian was like an incarnation of the old chairman.

"No, that's not right, it's impossible!" the old man said decisively, breaking the deadlock. "This Daheitian can never be the old chairman!"

"The old chairman has already been held back by Specialist Lin and her people. I saw it with my own eyes! And if the old chairman hadn't been held back, we wouldn't have been able to tear open the barrier so easily and find you!"

The old man's expression was serious, and he exuded an unquestionable aura, making people believe him involuntarily.

At this time, Dr. Zhou also stood up, nodding with a determined expression. "That's right, I can confirm that the one fighting fiercely with Specialist Lin and the others is the old chairman. The Night Watchmen definitely don't have the ability to create another existence as powerful as him!"

Jiang Cheng also believed that the one holding back Lin Wan'er and the main force was the old chairman. The problem was simple: if there really was a powerful existence within the Night Watchmen comparable to the old chairman, then there would be no need to fight this battle. Two old chairmen would be enough to wipe out all of them.

"Then, if the old chairman isn't here, what is this Daheitian?" the fat man asked back. "Another incarnation of the old chairman? Does that mean he has a total of four incarnations?"

This question was destined to go unanswered. They didn't even know what Daheitian was.

This feeling of knowing nothing made Jiang Cheng feel irritable. Clearly, they had reached the most critical moment. The next second, a hand rested on his shoulder. "It's alright, I'll go to the desolate mountain to find it after nightfall, Daheitian." Wu's face was very calm, and so was his tone. The tense atmosphere was instantly dissipated, as if the hope of survival had flowed back into everyone's bodies at this moment.

If strength were divided into levels, then Wu at this moment was probably second only to the old chairman. Even the Zhusheng Niangniang (Child-Giving Goddess), one of the old chairman's incarnations, was no match for him. In other words, as long as Daheitian was not the old chairman himself, it wouldn't be a big problem for Wu. Moreover, there were also the old man and several other high-level disciples to assist.

Worried that the longer the night, the more problems would arise, Wu set off with the old man and the other two not long after. Their primary goal was Yao the Elder's residence. Although they knew that Yao the Elder was an ordinary person, no one knew whether ordinary people were harboring good intentions or not. They had to investigate again to be at ease.

Dr. Zhou was left behind. Although he was also a disciple, his abilities were not suited for combat, and taking him would only be a burden.

"Dr. Zhou, Little Friend Jiang is extremely important, you must be responsible for his safety." Before leaving, the old man turned around and specially instructed.

"I understand, don't worry."

After Wu and the others left, everyone immediately closed the door. At this moment, it was already completely dark outside, and the entire village was plunged into silence.

Standing in the courtyard, Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at a direction in the village. Only a few torches were lit there, illuminating Yao the Elder and his wife's residence.

The night gradually deepened, and they reinforced the torches. The pale faces of the child-mannequins behind the door were faintly visible in the light of the torches.

According to Yao the Elder's instructions before he left, they were scattered in different rooms. It was said that places with too much human presence had too much blood energy, and if it overwhelmed the paper figures outside, the trouble would be great.

In the bedroom on the right side of the largest room facing the door, Zhu Jie was wringing a wet cloth with all her might. She had just wiped the faces of Li Bai, Yao, Shun, and Yu.

After experiencing so much, she had finally truly developed a sense of belonging to Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui's team. At the most critical and dangerous moments, Jiang Cheng and the others had not abandoned her and her husband. And that strange Wu, who was covered in baleful energy, was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as she had imagined. Everyone was a team, and he had turned back to save her husband, digging out the eyes of the cloth doll. She had seen all of this.

Now she was also injured, and she and her husband were already a burden to the entire team, but she didn't want to be useless. She wanted to do her part, and having her take care of the comatose teammates would allow Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui to worry less and concentrate on dealing with this final hurdle.

As she thought about it, Zhu Jie suddenly remembered the crushed herbs. It was time to change the medicine for Yao, Shun, and Yu. Their wounds were terrifying, and there were already signs of festering. She really didn't know how these young people had endured such injuries.

But just as she turned to get the medicine, she saw Li Bai open her eyes out of the corner of her eye.

"Mmm..."

Zhu Jie's eyes widened suddenly, and a look of joy appeared on her face. "Li... Miss Li, you're finally awake! We were so worried about you!"

After a moment, Li Bai's blank eyes gradually focused. She recovered quickly, but when she heard Zhu Jie say that they had already made contact with the people sent by the country, Li Bai's eyes suddenly changed. "The country... the country sent people?"

"Yes! Of course! A total of four people, very skilled. You know the Zhusheng Niangniang (Child-Giving Goddess), that powerful guy was defeated by them!" Zhu Jie said as she wet the cloth and wiped Li Bai's face.

"Where are they?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Dr. Zhou, who was responsible for decocting the medicine in the middle hall, came in with a bowl of herbs. Seeing the camouflage uniform on Dr. Zhou's body and the light blue ribbon, a light suddenly appeared in Li Bai's eyes. But after Zhu Jie helped her up, she concealed this light by lowering her head.

"Dr. Zhou, I heard you were sent by the country, that's great!" Li Bai said as she drank the herbs that Zhu Jie had cooled, "You came at the right time!"

Dr. Zhou sighed with some guilt, and looked at the injuries on Li Bai's body. "But we still came late, otherwise Miss Li, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much."

"Right, I just woke up, please tell me about the current situation, Dr. Zhou. Where are we now? What are the plans for the future?" Li Bai said naturally, holding the bowl of medicine.

Hearing this, Dr. Zhou shook his head. "We don't know exactly where this place is, only that it's a village. By the way, Mr. Jiang said that this world is adjacent to the world you two were in before. We saw the Black Water River."

Li Bai was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and slowly shook her head. Seeing Li Bai drink the herbs, Dr. Zhou gave a few instructions and then turned to leave. He pushed open the door and walked towards the courtyard.

Just after Dr. Zhou's footsteps faded away, Zhu Jie, who was cleaning up the bowl, was suddenly grabbed by the wrist. She looked up and met Li Bai's bloodshot eyes. "Wu... where is Senior Wu? Quickly... quickly call Senior Wu!"

Zhu Jie was frightened by Li Bai's appearance, and stammered, "Senior Wu and the old gentleman have gone to the desolate mountain behind to find the evil spirits, what's wrong with you..."

"Senior Wu has been led away by them..." Li Bai's face instantly turned ashen.

"No, Miss Li, what exactly is wrong with you?"

"Quick, go and call Jiang Cheng, don't alarm that Dr. Zhou!" Li Bai grabbed Zhu Jie's hand, her voice trembling. "They're fake, the code words don't match, I'm the one responsible for contacting them!"
