Chapter 454: Chapter 395 “The whereabouts of other lost Golden Cards in the Kingdom in Cards”_2
“”However, if there really is soone behind the scenes, intuition tells
that perhaps it will truly burst forth around nine months later at the ti of the ‘destiny’ succession…”
“In any case, the current progress of the matter is not very ideal.”
…
“Ordinary people obtaining extraordinary abilities through unknown ans?”
Colin raised an eyebrow, considering his understanding of anomalies, this seed sowhat unrealistic…
Because the “Extraordinary” wouldn’t just appear out of nowhere without reason.
Ordinary people couldn’t just awaken so sort of superpower out of nothing based solely on their willpower.
“Without extraordinary power, one can steal or rob, whether it’s anomalies or so demon, they’re acquired through extraordinary thods…”
“Even praying to so so-called higher beings works…”
“But to ‘awaken’ so spontaneously, without any reason, that’s a bit off.”
Colin’s heart sank slightly, knowing sothing must have had a profound impact on the world.
After pondering for a mont and stroking his chin, his gaze shifted to Old Master Wu’s other words: “The ti of ‘destiny’ succession…”
This…
Although the other party did not specify, Colin rembered Old Master Wu saying he had only about a year of life left… The aning of “destiny succession” was not hard to guess; it should be that he would pass on his position and legacy to a successor when the ti ca.
Chaos, perhaps, would erupt at the mont of succession?
“Only nine months left, huh…”
Colin suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow.
The ans to completely control his extraordinary abilities had already appeared, yet unfortunately, these higher officials couldn’t use them.
Carrying an undefined emotion, Colin ended the conversation with Old Master Wu.
However, before he could wallow for even a few minutes, Colin suddenly beca aware of sothing and turned to the parchnt, where he saw a ssage appear:
Dear “654321”, you have a new mission “Investigate a lost artifact through the ‘Gate of Starlight.'” Added to [Mission List].
“Oh, so they’re adding a friendly salutation before missions now? But what’s this ‘Gate of Starlight’ I’ve never heard of before, could it be related to that ‘Starlight Maiden’ from the mission I caught with my alternate account?”
Colin pursed his lips, composed himself, and opened the [Mission List] to find the task.
[“Investigate a lost artifact through the ‘Gate of Starlight'”]
“Description”: Through certain special thods, the company has already ascertained the general location of a lost high-quality artifact through a defector.
“Requirent”: On January 1st, at noon, utilize the “Gate of Starlight” for a special descent, gather and investigate the intel from that area.
“Hint”: The lost artifact is suspected to be one of the seventeen Golden Cards from “Card Divine Kingdom”.
[Do you accept this mission?]
…
“A defector, so the ‘Starlight Maiden’ really did turn coat…”
Colin clicked his tongue, considering how that person had taken the lead as a “Chosen of God”, a “Divine Envoy”, one couldn’t help but wonder if their “Dawn Starlight” would explode with fury upon finding out.
He then looked at the requirents and turned his eyes to the hint…
“One of the seventeen Golden Cards from ‘Card Divine Kingdom’; I wonder which one it is, but overall, it looks like it’s tailored for .”
Thinking it over, Colin chose to accept.
Golden Cards, items with absolute effects and minimal side effects, were of course more the rrier for him.
“Why do I always feel like the company wants
to collect all seventeen cards? They wouldn’t keep feeding
similar artifacts otherwise…”
“I just wonder what would happen if I actually managed to collect all seventeen Golden Cards one day…”
“Today is the 25th, there are about five or six days left, no rush, but the mission seems to be a solo type with no teammates, it’s been a long ti since I’ve taken on solo missions…”
As thoughts swirled through his mind, Colin’s gaze swept over the mission details again and, after confirming there wasn’t much else, stored them away.
Next, he routinely opened the internal communication hall to check in.
Not much different from before, except now there was a group advocating for “The Descent Project”…
However, he only looked for a while when a sudden phone call ca through.
The screen showed the na “Xia Liufang”.
Colin was taken aback; normally, it was either Hu Zheng or Qin Chuan who contacted him; Xia Liufang contacting him was rarer.
“Hello, what’s up?”
With curiosity, he answered the call, and upon hearing the other party’s words, Colin’s expression quickly grew odd.
“You an to say that Qin Chuan and Hu Zheng have been cornered in the bathroom by several… elentary school kids and are getting beaten up?”
Colin began to doubt whether he had heard correctly.
No matter what, these two were Extraordinary Ones; how could they be cornered and beaten up by common people, especially elentary school kids?
However, he quickly realized sothing.
‘Could it be that group of “awakened” Transcendents?’ Colin thought of Old Master Wu’s information.
At the sa ti, Xia Liufang continued, “Yeah, we don’t know if these kids are influenced by so anomaly, but they are very strong, they’ve even created so kind of barrier that makes it hard for us to enter…”
“And the higher-ups’ request is that we resolve the anomaly without harming them as much as possible, but we can’t find where the anomaly specifically is…”
“So, we might need you to co over.”
The information on the Awakeners was still being confird and had not been made public, so they were still unaware of the situation with this group and were using old thods to search for the anomaly, leading to them finding nothing.
In fact, the “anomaly” was the group of “Awakeners” themselves.
“Okay, just send
a location.”
After hanging up the phone and waiting for the location to be sent, Colin couldn’t help but laugh a few tis when he thought about what Xia Liufang had said.
It’s unclear what positions Qin Chuan and Hu Zheng would be in the future, but being cornered in the bathroom and beaten up by elentary school students was sothing they would probably never live down in their lifeti…
Soon, his location was sent from the other side; it was a bit remote.
However, that wasn’t a big problem. Holding the Badge of Humility, Colin held his breath, leaped out of the window, and moved swiftly through the city.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the given location and saw an elentary school that had been cordoned off.
Then, looking at the several dilapidated school buildings, Colin understood why Qin Chuan and the others had been hung out to dry by the elentary school kids…
“Truth be told, they seem quite strong…”
Colin arrived on the scene, scanned the area, and saw there were many fist prints of various sizes on the walls.
Even many of the load-bearing pillars had been forcefully broken.
Thew “elentary school kids'” might was truly frightening!
And as the Badge of Humility was lifted, Xia Liufang also noticed the suddenly appearing Colin:
“Mr. Colin, do we need to enter together?”
“No need, leave the rest to ; there should be no problem.”
Rejecting Xia Liufang’s offer to enter with others, Colin walked into the school building alone.
The strength of those inside was enough to take Qin Chuan down, but they were not of much significance against him.
Of course, he needed to be cautious…
Otherwise, if he also ended up cornered and beaten up in the bathroom, it would be quite the spectacle.
Warm flas erged on the surface of his body, enveloping him as Colin entered the schoolyard and imdiately felt a unique anomaly enshrouding the place.
The effectiveness of electronic communication began to dwindle…
“If an ordinary person were to co in, they would probably experience sothing like Ghost-Hitting-the-Wall, is this what they call a barrier?”
Colin sensed quietly, then continued along the campus path, delving deeper into it.
As long as he was bolstered by Bonfire, this thing had almost no impact on him…
A minute later, he suddenly heard a series of shrill, childish roars coming from a school building…
Hearing this commotion, it seed like soone was chasing after sothing.
And coincidentally, they seed to be heading in Colin’s direction.
Based on the information he had received, Colin thought it should be Qin Chuan and his group, as there wasn’t anyone else.
But quickly, as the footsteps got closer, he realized it was apparently not them.
A figure covered in long hair jumped down from the third floor, not bothering to brace for impact, and rolled forcefully to the side.
Simultaneously, another figure, with muscles bulging as large as a bull’s yet with the head of a child, landed with a thud at the first figure’s previous spot, causing a vibration.
Upon landing, he delivered a punch straight to the long-haired figure.
“Muscle enhancent, Power of a Thousand Horses!”
In the midst of his roar, the “child’s” right-hand muscles swelled as he swung his head-sized fist, smashing it towards the figure covered in hair, who appeared neither fully human nor completely like a beast.
With a loud thump from the impact, the beast-like man with long hair was sent flying more than ten ters away, landing just a few ters aside from Colin…
Colin glanced at the “werewolf,” then at the formidable elentary school kid, and couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Can this really be an elentary school kid?”
