240 The Church of Healing and The Night Hunter, Geman (I)
“F*ck!”
“I’m really convinced!”
“What the hell is with this student!?”
“You’re only level 15, yet you can fight with a bunch of level 30 Professionals for a few minutes until the human reinforcements arrive, which is already crazy!”
“Almost no one can do it!”
“And now, he can solo kill a level 50 Professional assassin!?”
“And judging from the assassin’s ability to kill those 40-level Professionals instantly, it’s definitely a diamond-grade talent… If not, at least a legendary-grade talent. It might even be a Mythical-level talent!”
“With just a set of skills, which one of us doesn’t owe it a dozen lives?”
“In the end, if you were faced with such a terrifying disadvantage to fight, would you?”
“Damn, you bastard!”
“The more I think about it, the more ridiculous I sound!”
“I’ll just find an opportunity to escape from this train!”
“If Lin Ye finds out that I’m a f*cking Fallen, I’m afraid those three won’t even have ashes left to spread. That kid would definitely dry them to nothingness!”
Liu Xie next to him frowned, “Zhang Jiao, calm down.”
“This werewolf’s assassination plan has absolutely nothing to do with our escort mission!”
“It’s impossible for the other party to discover our identities.”
“Otherwise, they would have killed us long ago!”
“You’re still here, aren’t you?”
After a pause, he continued.
“If you plan on running away from the carriage now, you will only expose your identity as a Fallen. What if Lin Ye thinks we are a threat and comes after us on that Black Dragon and red dragon… Do you think you can outrun those two flying beasts?”
“That’s right,” The senior named Dong Zhuo also said in a deep voice.
“The more we panic, the more dangerous the situation will be.”
“If you want to get through these few days peacefully, you must remain calm, adapt to the situation, make good use of that junior, Gu Yun, and reduce your sense of existence as much as possible.”
“If necessary,”
“We don’t have to hand over that treasure to the Fallen troops waiting for us at the meeting spot for the time being.”
“We’ll keep it to ourselves.”
“When Lin Ye arrives at Tianqi University and no longer poses a threat to us, let’s find another chance to hand things over to the Lord of the Abyss–”
“I don’t think that would be necessary.” Liu Xie slowly said.
“That Lin Ye guy is just good at fighting.”
“It’s not like he’s Detective Conan,”
“We won’t be able to win against him on even grounds. So we will just find an opportunity to throw that thing into the wilderness like we’re throwing trash and wait for another group of Fallen to pick it up. He will never suspect anything fishy. Smart, huh?”
“No,” Dong Zhuo replied in his deep voice.
“I can’t tell, but he seemed to be the kind of guy who will personally check the garbage that we threw out,”
Liu Xie was speechless before he groaned out loud.
“Ugh.”
“Really, you two.”
“I don’t know what you guys are afraid of.”
“Would he be so bored to dig through the pile of trash we threw out the window?”
Dong Zhuo sighed, “Liu Xie, you do not understand my point.”
“I’m not afraid of Lin Ye, I’m afraid of accidents. If none of this assassination thing happened, even if we were discovered by the Professionals here right now, they wouldn’t be able to do anything against the group of elite Fallens who are coming to meet us. The worst case scenario, the three of us can’t continue to disguise our identities, and the Professionals Alliance will want us.”
“But Lin Ye is guarding the carriage right now…”
“He can even kill top Professionals at level 50, and he might be able to kill those elite Fallens as well easily.”
“At that time, not only will our identities be exposed, but the treasure may also fall into Lin Ye’s hands, which would then fall into the hands of the Professional Alliance. They’ll open the gates to other abyss lairs and kill all the Abyssal Lords.”
“Think about it.”
“How weak is the Abyssal Demons without the underground palace? Is it possible for them to defeat the human Professional army head-on?”
“And once the Abyssal Demons are defeated, will we human traitors who have taken refuge in the abyss have a chance to start over?”
“Don’t forget.”
“The three of us are not the only ones joining the Abyss.”
“Our family, parents, relatives, girlfriends, and so on.”
“They are all tied to the Abyss.”
Liu Xie fell into deep thought before he finally heaved a defeated sigh,
“You’re right…”
“I really…”
“It’s because I didn’t think carefully…”
Dong Zhuo patted him on the shoulder.
“Anyway, let’s all be careful from now on. When the Fallen team that came to pick up that thing shows up, and the group of Professionals hasn’t spotted them in the carriage, then we’ll consider whether to hand over the treasure directly to them.”
“We need to keep a careful eye on our surroundings, especially on Lin Ye.”
“If he finds out about the group of Fallen, we’ll turn our back on them and help him fight the group. We’ll abandon the small fishes to save the big fish!”
Zhang Jiao asked suspiciously, “But what if we were identified by those Fallen when we ‘rebelled’?”
“Ha!” Dong Zhuo smiled slightly, “what are you afraid of?”
“The three of us have never inherited the power of the abyss, and we can’t detect the energy of the abyss at all, and we can’t remotely contact the Abyssal Demons… So as long as we don’t admit that we are Fallens and insist they were framing us, even if Lin Ye suspects us, he can’t pin the crime on us.”
“Moreover,”
“Only the Lord of the Abyss who is in charge of contacting us knows our true identity.”
“Only the four of us know the details of this ‘handover mission’.”
