My Salvation Game Became true?!

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Return to Baijiang (1/3)
 

“We are the solitary pioneers, the fire holders in the darkness, the guardians in the lightless void.”

“If this world lacks light, we shall become the light, if this world lacks fire, we shall become the fire.”

“I, Gou Ping’an…”

“I, Xu Tian…”

“I, Luo Rui…”

“I, …”

“I, …”

“I am willing, for the sake of this world, for the sake of humanity, to morph into the light of hope, the fire of belief, to withstand the eternal darkness, day and night, until death do us part.”

Five new recruits took their oath.

The next moment, they heard a notification sound in their minds, filled with surprise and joy.

…

“The seed of the Fire of Heritage has finally been sown, I believe this is just the beginning.”

“Our flames will burn ever brighter, until, they devour the gloom that shrouds the sky.”

Inside the training base, Fang You walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Black Blade.

Black Blade appeared to listen attentively.

At last, Black Blade said, “It’s our organization’s duty to cultivate more warriors, and one day, we will eradicate all the Mysterious Evil!”

Fang You said, “For the few new recruits, we shall grant them the skills for combat and the seeds for tracking the Mysterious Evil. Focus on their basic training for this period; you can make more use of those trial spaces to see the effect.”

“However, the continuous appearance of the Ghastly Realm gates is certainly not as simple as it seems on the surface. A great battle will soon come, and learning skills followed by an Awakening might be too late.”

“The timing is about right now, we can give them a mysterious infusion.”

Black Blade indicated his understanding.

He paused before saying, “Ming Deng mentioned that he would rather not receive the mysterious infusion if not necessary. He said he wants to measure this path step by step.”

Mages are indeed tenacious folk, otherwise, Ming Deng wouldn’t have inquired so diligently in the past to find the Fire of Heritage.”

“Let him be then, I will have Youyou assign him more tasks.”

With Ming Deng’s proficiency in basic skills, just one unit of mystique would suffice, and it could be accumulated in one or two days on his own.”

As for ‘special training’ and ‘guidance for awakening’, Ming Deng is merely determined to earnestly walk this path step by step, not old-fashioned.

“Additionally, your burden will be heavier during this time; aside from training the new recruits, you will also need to execute some tasks in Shuize State,” Fang You said.

Black Blade did not feel burdened, “This is my duty, to revive the Fire of Heritage, to annihilate the Mysterious Evil, Black Blade shall never shirk!”

…

Black Blade was about to reclaim the glory of being the first laborer of the Fire of Heritage, and at the same time, Fang You quietly arrived in Baijiang City by plane.

As soon as he descended the airstair and stepped onto the ground, Fang You felt a sense of relief.

It wasn’t his first time flying, he had taken flights several times without any particular feelings, but now that he possessed incredibly powerful strength, able to easily demolish a car, and even if he would jump from a dozen floors high, as long as there was something to cushion his fall midway, he would emerge unscathed.

However, airliners flying at tens of thousands of meters above definitely did not inspire a sense of safety.

Even for someone like him, capable of killing a three-star Mysterious Evil, should the plane meet with an accident and fall from tens of thousands of meters, he would still be done for.

Especially nowadays with the frequent emergence of Mysterious Evils; although he had never encountered one, who knows, there might be Mysterious Evils living in the high skies.

Too dangerous.

This won’t do.

Better to take the high-speed train next time.

Upon reaching the arrival hall, he saw from a distance a girl in a long grey sweater, wearing a small plush hat.

She was in disguise, wearing a mask, but her Cazarine-like bright eyes, sparkling like gems, could not be concealed, as she stood on her tiptoes, searching around.

Suddenly, those sapphire-like eyes brightened even further, waving frantically, “Mentor, Mentor, I’m here~!”

“I see you, let’s go.”

…

An Jianyou was driving while Fang You sat in the passenger seat, taking out a small box from his pocket and rubbing it.

Instantly, a wisp of black smoke rose up and transformed into a slightly chubby black cat.

“Meow~”

It stretched lazily, shook its paws, and gave Fang You a resentful look.

Cooped up in a box for over two hours, do you have any idea how the cat spent that time?

It extended its paw, demanding the cellphone.

Fang You brushed away its paw, “The mission is of the essence. Today, we’re here for serious business. Phone, we’ll talk about it later.”

“Black Pupil, you must listen to the instructor oh. Look what else I’ve prepared for you.”

An Jianyou took out several cans of cat food.

Black Pupil peeked over.

The cat was disdainful.

But in the end, it turned back, sneakily taking a few glances, as if it was… high-end cat food that the cat had never seen before. Well, since you are so considerate, I, the cat, will take it off your hands with much grace.

Meow~

…

Driving straight to the destination, the southern outskirts of Baijiang City.

Which is also where the Strange Evil Gate had previously appeared.

The light contamination zone.

This place had always been patrolled by investigators, as the probability of breeding Mysterious Evil was significantly higher than in other areas.

To this day, the area within two kilometers around the cemetery was still cordoned off.

But for the two people and a cat, this was no problem at all. In fact, Fang You and An Jianyou had been here before, having stealthily visited once before relocating their base to Shuize State.

This time, one could say they knew the road like the back of their hand.

They quickly arrived at the core area, the cemetery in Nanjiao, right at the center where the Ghastly Realm Gate had appeared before.

Here, An Jianyou could act as the key and fulfill another condition to truly enter the Ghastly Realm!

It had been confirmed before.

But they had never truly entered, choosing safety at the last moment.

“This time, I have more cards to play. With Xiao Huan here, we also have the strength to fight in a crisis,”

“I’m not planning to delve deep into the Ghastly Realm, just… if I want to test the danger level of a four-star Mysterious Evil, this kind of place is the only option.”

“Being prepared in advance is always better than dealing with it hastily,”

He pondered, looking at An Jianyou.

“Let’s start,”

“Alright, Instructor, hold on tight to me,”

She clasped her hands together, and her eyes blossomed with a faint blue glow.

Fang You picked up Black Pupil, stuffed it inside his robe, and then grabbed onto An Jianyou’s arm.

This time, An Jianyou was more adept.

The scene in their vision gradually changed, with a murky grey mist floating in the sky, blocking the sunlight, as if passing through a layer of water curtain. When they set foot again, there was only him and her left between heaven and earth.

Ghastly Realm Station Number One, they had arrived.

‘Ding!’

‘Notice: Your Mystery Value +0.7!’

‘Notice: Angel Envoy·An Jianyou’s Mystery Value +0.7!’

‘Notice: …’

Such notifications popped up every few seconds.

Ordinary people staying in such an environment wouldn’t last long before Awakening, but a larger possibility was collapse or madness.

Perhaps due to the connection with An Jianyou, Fang You’s sanity was not much affected, only listening to the surrounding Mysterious Evil’s hissing sound rising and falling continuously.

In the distance, monstrous silhouettes loomed within the grey fog.

Accompanied by the thumping, thumping, thumping of heavy sounds.

“How are you feeling now?”

“Everything is normal, Instructor. It’s even simpler to leave than to enter… but we must do it from this position,”

It seemed that the location where Strange Evil Gate had appeared was indeed the entrance and exit.

And around, the trees became somewhat withered, the ground mottled, marks left by Mysterious Evil could be seen everywhere.

But upon closer inspection, one could find that all of this was based on reality; the trees around, including the buildings belonging to the cemetery in the distance, were in the same position, only the buildings had become much more dilapidated, as if they had been abandoned for years.

Beneath the semblance of reality, the grey fog spreads.

This was the Ghastly Realm!

Normally an open cemetery, there wandered undead creatures, some with necks stretched out a meter long, some with uneven eyes, some with mouths torn open to their ears.

But now, altogether, they turned their heads, looking at the figures that didn’t fit in with them.
