446: Chapter 426: rcenary (Part 2) 446: Chapter 426: rcenary (Part 2) The information given by the rcenaries was fairly simple, seemingly pieceal snippets they overheard from the “Travel Canine”.
Whether it was up-to-date or reliable was uncertain, but with the company of the two “experts”, they managed to deduce so things.
As for Lu Ping’an, he was rely an observer, but he beca interested in those “new technologies”.
The Dao, or principles, are quite crude and simple.
The abilities of professionals can be described as an “orderly and professional pollution module”.
The key was always “technology”, the varieties of “applications” developed from those principles over history and long periods of ti.
Since that world has lasted for so long, it’s clear that the “Sealing Skill” contains so technical essence.
If we start to unravel it, it may not be simpler than the occupational system of humans.
“Interesting, let’s gather so information.
Maybe it could be useful later.”
Having signed the contract with the four rcenaries, this was the final task in their plan.
Lu Ping’an and his team were preparing to return to the ancient city.
They would stay in the ancient city for a week to ten days to tie up loose ends before heading back to Changping State Governnt to “board the ship” and set off.
anwhile, the two teams of rcenaries were negotiating the terms of their collaboration.
Their relationship was quite good, however, it was only the fellowship commonly shared between rcenaries…
Their similar occupations and backgrounds gave them a common understanding and foundation for friendship, but the nature of their work as rcenaries, working for money, always maintained a proper distance in their relationship.
This ti, they would collaborate mainly due to inadequate combat power.
Four people were definitely better than two.
Otherwise, if two people were injured during their journey in the Foreign Domain, the other two would likely et the sa fate.
Now, after signing the contract, the four rcenaries essentially had the sa temporary employer, making their cooperation more stable.
In a way, they had a mutual need to advance or retreat together.
“You…
what did you see?”
But in their private exchange, it was the usually reticent Baman Zhen who first asked this question.
The onset panic from Fenglian was too obvious.
Because of her usual calm and even cold nature, this panic attracted even more attention.
Fenglian paused, and after so consideration, she still revealed so information.
“…A dead man, I saw a dead man.
He’s already dead, I don’t know how he can still move…”
Upon hearing this, a horror movie-like scenario, the three others sighed in relief.
They knew that Fenglian’s “Spirit Vision” was more like “premonition” or “divine sight”, often seeing things that she really shouldn’t see.
So of the things, it’s not about what they “look like”, but the feeling elicited by the “pollution” or “information”, a kind of overly intuitive illusion.
Sotis, she can pinpoint the essence or even weakness of a target at one glance using this ability.
But sotis, she just sees weird things and gives a bunch of wrong answers.
For example, she is scared of hospitals because she often sees patients as corpses.
This ti should be the sa, right?
After recalling the incident, Su Zhizhu nodded.
“I’ve looked into his background.
He’s originally a terminal cancer patient who should have been long dead, but then he Awakened a healing Talent Ability that extended his life.
Maybe what you saw was his original fate.”
No, that’s incorrect.
Fenglian opened her mouth, drops of sweat as large as beans fell from under her mask.
She seed like she wanted to say sothing.
But ultimately, she shook her head.
She hadn’t said anything…or perhaps, she couldn’t say anything.
“It…might be.”
The conversation carried on, while Fenglian, exhausted, got to her feet and looked out at the dark clouds outside the window.
Underneath the moonlight, not a single beam of light illuminated the night.
The farther parts of the city resembled a kind of hellscape…She shivered subconsciously, recalling that scene of “utter darkness”.
She did indeed see a dead person.
A humanoid nad Lu Ping’an, battered and full of holes, but not yet fallen.
He was like a marionette controlled by a string, being embraced, controlled, and smirked at by the dark mass behind him.
It, or he, or they, the black mist was always chuckling…
But once it gets close, you can feel that it is not just darkness, but a void.
The light was taken away, the life force was taken away, the will was taken away.
It’s a black hole that devours everything.
Within it, the “puppet” was filled, controlled, and moved around by the “black hole”, constructing the existence nad “Lu Ping’an”.
So things passed through that infinite “void” and ebbed away into the unknown.
Every mont, every second, the “mummified” figure known as Lu Ping’an was constantly becoming even more battered than before.
He was being “drained”, ever losing a part of himself…
Why was he still alive!
His life should have long ago beco a negative number, he should have been pulled into the black hole!
If it was just that, Fenglian would have dared to shout it out loud, at least advising her companions to stay away from this unrecorded monstrosity.
But she also saw a golden balance hovering under a large black hand next to the “puppet”…
That was a “rule”, a complete manifestation of the principles of the world, a rule that belonged to the “world”.
“Heavens, rule-level, or even higher…Evil Gods.”
Having such sharp eyes, was clearly not a good thing, especially for herself, having been frightened until she was numb and being forced to fulfill her own “contract”.
[… During the period of employnt after the contract, the hired party cannot disclose any information about the hirer, otherwise, depending on the disclosed content, corresponding accountability will be ensured…]
The content of that contract was simple, but Fenglian saw “dark” shackles from it, the “dark” link which originated from the monster nad “Lu Ping’an”.
“Equivalent responsibility?
The responsibility of revealing a hidden Evil God…”
rely thinking about it scared Fenglian until her hands and feet trembled…
She didn’t even dare to tell her husband…
She still had to try hard not to leak a bit of information, as even the most innocent mistake could drag her into hell due to the contract.
And the only consolation for her, the one thing that prevented her from going all out in despair, was that “golden balance”…
she had seen sothing similar in the possession of a God of Comrce.
“That’s the ‘rule’ of a ‘deal’, fairness is the prerequisite for a transaction…
As long as we honestly follow the contract, it should not overstep its boundaries.”
“…If you ask , we could continue communicating, perhaps in a few days, we might find a more reliable company…” But her comrades seed to have a more suitable thod for “rcenaries”.
“Absolutely not!” At this point, Fenglian, who was shouting, seed extrely agitated.
“We have to cooperate fully with them and fulfill our contractual obligations with all our hearts.
It’s a rcenary’s duty and professional integrity.”
rcenaries operating with professional integrity?
The three looked at each other, feeling that sothing was amiss, but they didn’t know what to say.
Could it be possible that she was hexed by sothing evil?
But just as Feng Youran gave a small cough intending to say sothing, he was silenced by the icy stare from his wife.
“Ahem, Fenglian is right, we need to have a new mindset for the new era.
If we want to mix with explorers in the future, it’s a small world out there; if our reputation is bad, we won’t last long.
Our previous style needs to be changed, right?
My dear, is that what you an?”
This husband is so henpecked that practically the only thing left is for him to wag his tail.
But all Fenglian did was nod her head forcefully.
“Yes, exactly, the reputation is very important, so important it could affect our lives!”
