Chapter 2756: Uncontrollable Folly
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning, the drizzle turned into rain, and the whole planet was enshrouded in a misty.
Such a misty and rainy day was the best day for killing.
At five o’clock in local ti, the camp of the Children of Holy Light was already ablaze with lights. They had all got up for their daily training.
It was the last day of their test.
Having weathered through six days against the temptations of the extraterrestrial devils, they were all the distinguished students of the Holy Light Academy, or at least they thought so.
After one more day, they would beco real purgers, which was one of the most important forces in the Covenant Alliance.
Everybody was excited, earnest, and hopeful. Those teenagers were so fascinated by their vision for the future that they did not realize that their excitent and their persistence in their dream had violated the rules of the Covenant Alliance.
At six o’clock in the morning, it was the ti for morning prayer.
As if to celebrate the completion of the ultimate test, more ntors and even people more important than ntors had co to the camp today. Those people were all observing the ignorant teenagers thoughtfully from the shadows with rigid smiles on their faces.
Not far away, the purge troop was more active than before too. Now and then, supersonic shuttles were flying above their heads, making the tal tents clatter.
The enormous floating firepower platform had descended to only a hundred ters from the ground. It was so lower that the teenagers could see the glittering cannons on the platform. They even felt that the fortress would fall and crumble everything on the ground into smithereens.
The ntors told the young n that they would be admitted by the purge troop and receive training on this airborne fortress if they could pass the ultimate test.
All delighted, the teenagers embarked on the final part of their journey after breakfast.
At seven in the morning, hundreds of young n and won were dispersed in various areas of the city.
The rain grew heavier, but the mist was not driven away by the rain. Everything was so pale that it did not look like the real world at all.
Just like the day when soone defected for the first ti, the rain and the fog gave the teenagers an illusionary sense of security, as if they would find a new path as long as they unveiled the rain and the mist.
At eight in the morning, all the young people were devoted to the purge operation, or so they appeared.
At nine, however, a minor accident took place in a supermarket in the south of the city.
Huala! Huala! Huala! Huala!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Boom! Boom!
Soone shook the iron fences and hit the gate. Then, they blew up the gate into pieces with a magnetic bomb.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
As boots rumbled on the floor, two ntors and a team of soldiers from the purge troop barged in, fully ard. The person leading the way for them was exactly Liao ng, the deputy monitor in Tang Ka’s class!
“This is the place! Chu Zhiyun and Tang Ka have been doing things stealthily here since days ago. I even heard the laughs and cries of a baby yesterday. A very little one. They’re hiding a baby in this place!”
Liao ng’s face was greasy, and his voice was high-pitched, which seed rather unfitting for soone of his body size.
“I suspect that they’re possessed by extraterrestrial devils. A few days ago, I even saw colorful lights from the supermarket. God knows what they were doing!”
While declaring ruthlessly, Liao ng led the ntors and the soldiers into the deepest part of the supermarket.
They rushed very fast and reached the entertainnt area in the supermarket only ten seconds later.
What they saw, however, dumbfounded Liao ng, who found it hard to believe his eyes.
Chu Zhiyun and Tang Ka were not half as panicked as he thought they would be. They were not in clothes they weren’t supposed to wear, or watching or listening to anything that they weren’t supposed to enjoy. On the contrary, the two of them had piled up trendous projects, albums, and jade chips and were shattering and burning those things up according to the standard procedure of purging without even taking off their masks.
Tang Ka had set the power of his shatter gun to the maximum, which filled the room with deafening noises. It explained why they didn’t hear the strangers knocking on the door.
They were as calm as before even though they were surrounded by trendous ntors and Purgers. Finishing the destruction work unhurriedly, they took off their masks and looked at everyone expressionlessly.
“How… How is this possible?”
Confused, Liao ng mumbled, “Where is the baby?”
“What baby?”
Chu Zhiyun stared at her ntor calmly without looking at Liao ng at all.
“Liao ng said that he heard a baby’s cries from here yesterday,” her ntor explained.
“Oh.”
Not bothering why Liao ng eavesdropped on her from outside, Chu Zhiyun said casually, “We destroyed a batch of toys yesterday. So of them could laugh and cry like babies. The noises were probably from them when they were accidentally activated during burning. Is there a problem?”
“That is impossible!”
Liao ng shouted, “I also saw colorful lights in the supermarket through the window. How do you explain that?”
“When we burned the stuff that contained trendous impurities, a lot of light would naturally be caused. Is that really a problem?”
Chu Zhiyun was still expressionless without even frowning, as if she felt that Liao ng’s stupid questions were a waste of her ti.
“Then, why would you lock the door if you weren’t doing anything clandestine in this supermarket?”
Liao ng’s face beca dark.
“There are many beasts in the city. So are even biochemical beasts whose genes have been strengthened.”
Chu Zhiyun said, “There may be battle puppets that can automatically search for and attack the enemy, and they may still be functioning after half a month.
“We do not want to attract their attention. If they notice us, the locked gate will buy us more ti.”
Liao ng was rendered speechless.
At this mont, the soldiers who searched the whole supermarket reported that nothing inappropriate was found. There were marks of burning in the warehouse and the cold room, but it was part of the standard procedure.
However, those places were still very hot, as if the incineration work had just been completed.
“Look, that is evidence!”
Liao ng cried again, “You’ve just burned a lot of things! Why? What were you trying to destroy and disguise?”
“Today is the last day of our ultimate test. Everybody wants to complete more work so that they can receive more points.”
Chu Zhiyun explained unhurriedly again, “Everybody is trying their best to shatter and burn as many things as possible, but you’ve brought ntors and Purgers here and disregarded your own mission. Mr. Liao ng, what’s your problem?”
“I… I… You… You…!”
Liao ng’s dark face turned red and then pale. “I saw it! I heard it! You… You must be hiding them sowhere! Sothing is wrong! Sothing is definitely wrong! You can’t trick !”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I do know that one might see all kinds of illusions when their optical and auditory nerves are controlled by extraterrestrial devils.”
Pausing for a mont, Chu Zhiyun finally glanced at Liao ng. “Mr. Liao ng, are you sure that this folly and this waste of precious ti and resources are not because of sothing you imagined?”
“You… Nonsense!”
Liao ng burst into rage. “My loyalty to the gods is incomparable. You’re the ones who are possessed by extraterrestrial devils. You!”
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
His portable crystal processor beeped and flashed dangerous red light again.
“This is the third ti you’ve lost control of your feelings, Mr. Liao ng.”
Chu Zhiyun stroked her hair and said casually, “And you exceeded the warning line by a lot every ti. If I recall correctly, you should be banished from this test after three losses of control.”
As if hit by a lightning bolt, Liao ng was dumbfounded.
“Impossible. That’s impossible… That’s impossible… That’s impossible…”
He breathed more and more quickly, and the pimples on his face seed to be exploding. His face was full of fury, fear, and desperation as he shouted, “I’m a Purger. My loyalty to the gods is incomparable. How can I lose control of myself? I can’t! It’s just your trick!”
“If you’re truly loyal to the gods, I suggest you have your brain thoroughly examined. I believe that the gods will definitely save you, Mr. Liao ng,” Chu Zhiyun said coldly and turned to the ntors.
“ntors, may we continue our purge work? We have a lot more things to do today, and we do not want to be disturbed by such trivia.”
