Chapter 91: Crazy!

“Zuo Daolin, wanted number 0102, S-Rank Soul Controller, Rank 65.”

The one-eyed old man’s voice sounded particularly grating in the silent command center.

“It shouldn’t be his true body on Triple Island.”

“He attached his Soul to a student through some method.”

“Although his strength is greatly weakened, he is still not someone this group of students can contend with.”

“Bang!”

Zhang Donglai slammed his fist heavily on the alloy table, producing a dull thud.

The fury in his eyes almost burst forth.

“Dawnbreaker Guild!”

“These lunatics are getting bolder and bolder!”

“Now they’ve set their sights on the National Examination!”

“Are they trying to slap the face of our Great Xia Country?!”

He abruptly turned and gave an order to his assistant behind him.

“Immediately notify everyone! This year’s National Examination is over!”

“Activate all the teleportation Formations immediately and get those children out of there!”

An anxious expression appeared on the assistant’s face.

“General Zhang! No!”

“All the teleportation Formations in various places just went offline!”

“Someone has disrupted the spatial rules outside Triple Island!”

“We have already dispatched Formation Great Masters to urgently repair them!”

At these words, the faces of all the generals present changed.

Zhang Donglai stared at him, his voice suppressing his anger.

“How long will it take?”

“At least... half an hour.”

“No!” Zhang Donglai flatly refused, “Half an hour is too long!”

His gaze swept over the three military colleagues present.

“Lend me a hand!”

“We will forcibly tear open a spatial rift! I’ll go in myself!”

The one-eyed old man’s face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he quickly shook his head.

“Old Zhang! Are you crazy?”

“Spatial rifts are extremely unstable. If you go in like that, even you will be in mortal danger if you’re not careful!”

Zhang Donglai didn’t listen at all.

“There’s no time to worry about that!”

“If we ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) delay any longer, those children might all be taken away by the Dawnbreaker Guild!”

His voice was hoarse, with a slight tremor.

“By then, what face will we, the National Examination officials, have to face the people of the entire country?”

“What face will we have to face the families of those examinees?”

“Furthermore, there’s an SS-Rank inside! That is the future of our Great Xia Country! I must take this risk!”

Seeing his resolute gaze, the three generals fell silent.

After a moment, they nodded heavily.

“Alright!”

The four generals simultaneously stretched out their hands, palms facing each other.

Vast and boundless energy furiously gathered and compressed between their palms.

The space of the entire command center began to violently twist and vibrate.

“Open!”

Zhang Donglai roared.

The four streams of power pushed forward fiercely.

“Screech—!”

A harsh sound, like cloth being torn.

The space in front of them was forcefully ripped open, revealing a pitch-black rift.

Within the rift was bottomless Chaos and nothingness, with violent spatial turbulence raging out from it.

Zhang Donglai didn’t hesitate at all, taking a step into it.

Within the Chaos space.

Zhang Donglai felt as if he had fallen into a viscous sea of darkness.

There was no direction, no sound, no light here.

Only endless Void Realm, and spatial turbulence strong enough to tear steel apart.

He tightly clutched an indicator panel in his hand. The needle on the panel was violently trembling, pointing in a vague direction.

That was the coordinates of Triple Island.

He urged all his power, transforming into a streak of light, and rapidly shot towards that direction.

Just then.

A slender, pink-glowing thread silently shot out from the Void Realm.

A strong sense of danger arose in Zhang Donglai’s heart, and he sharply dodged sideways.

The pink thread brushed past his cheek, bringing out a string of blood beads.

“General Zhang... still well, I see...”

A light, gender-neutral voice echoed in the Chaos.

Zhang Donglai abruptly stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a figure quietly suspended in the Void Realm not far away.

The person wore a luxurious pink robe, with long hair reaching his waist, and a face as delicate as a Prodigy.

A tear mole was dotted beneath his eye.

His Adam’s apple subtly moved, but a feminine smile was on his lips.

Seeing him, Zhang Donglai’s expression turned extremely ugly.

“Mo Hen!”

He gritted his teeth as he spat out the name.

“You anticipated that we would risk passing through the Chaos space, and you actually waited for me here!”

“Are you Dawnbreaker Guild not too deranged?!”

The man called Mo Hen chuckled, covering his mouth, his laughter coquettish.

“Deranged? How so?”

“This idea, I thought about it for a long time before coming up with it.”

“Don’t you think I’m a little Genius?”

Zhang Donglai roared.

“You madman!”

“Back then, I even pleaded for you! Now it seems I was truly blind!”

The smile on Mo Hen’s face disappeared, replaced by a fanaticism.

“General Zhang, you are too ignorant!”

“The ones who can truly save the Great Xia Country are us!”

He spread his arms, and pink energy surged around him.

“Not you old fogeys who are stuck in your ways!”

Zhang Donglai stopped talking nonsense, his body transforming into a golden cannonball, charging straight ahead.

Mo Hen chuckled, his figure instantly transforming into countless pink butterflies, dispersing into the Void Realm.

“Want to pass? Come play with me first...”

Golden light and pink butterflies instantly collided in the Chaos space.

The violent energy aftermath churned this void upside down.

... ...

At the same time.

In the National Examination official live broadcast room.

Hosts Wei Zheng and Lin Xi were speechless as they watched the bizarre scene on the screen.

More and more examinees, under the masked man’s eerie methods, suddenly went mad and attacked their teammates.

But soon, they all stopped.

All the controlled examinees, with identical eerie smiles on their faces, turned around in unison.

Their gazes were all fixed on the direction of the Dongning Province team.

In the bullet comments, someone finally noticed that something was wrong.

“What’s going on? Why is it such a mess? Someone tell me what happened?”

“Why do I feel like something went wrong with the National Examination?”

Just then.

“Static—!”

The live broadcast screen in front of all the national viewers suddenly flashed with static.

Then, it went completely black.

... ...

Inside Triple Island.

Ye Xi, Yuan Kai, and Shen Fuhai, with terror on their faces, quickly retreated behind Gandalf.

“Boss!”

Ye Xi’s voice was trembling.

“This guy is so creepy! Everyone else seems to be controlled by him!”

Zhou Huai’s gaze swept over the examinees with hollow eyes, his expression solemn.

“Find a place to hide.”

“The rest, leave it to me.”

Ye Xi and the other two nodded heavily upon hearing this and quickly fled towards the distant jungle.

They certainly didn’t want to be controlled by that masked man.

At this moment, only Gandalf and the man wearing the ghost-face mask remained on the field.

And behind him, that silent “Puppet army” composed of dozens of examinees.

The masked man walked leisurely to Zhou Huai’s front.

He chuckled.

“Do you know why I came for you last?”

Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, silently looked at him.

“Because...”

The masked man extended a finger, pointing to the group of dazed examinees behind him.

“All of them combined are not as important as you.”

“Allow me to formally introduce myself.”

“My name is Zuo Daolin, representing the Dawnbreaker Guild, and I invite you to join us.”

A look of understanding appeared on Zhou Huai’s face.

Dawnbreaker Guild.

He had heard long ago that this organization would stop at nothing to recruit Geniuses.

The Chu He that Yasuo encountered before was from the Dawnbreaker Guild.

He even forced Yasuo to commit suicide.

He didn’t expect to encounter an attack from the Dawnbreaker Guild during the National Examination.

Truly deranged.

Zuo Daolin continued.

“The reason I’m telling you so much is that I hope you’ll come with me willingly.”

“As long as you’re willing, I can consider letting these poor examinees go.”

Zhou Huai smiled upon hearing this.

He controlled Gandalf, looking at Zuo Daolin with an expression that said he was an idiot.

“What do they have to do with me?”

“Why should I sacrifice myself for them?”

After speaking, he directly raised the staff in his hand.

Terrifying magic power began to gather, preparing to unleash Meteor Fire Rain on the controlled examinees.

Zuo Daolin, seeing this, showed no intention of interfering.

He just calmly said.

“I advise you not to do that.”

“I know the mechanism of this dungeon. Once their health is depleted, they will be forcibly removed.”

“You want to save them this way?”

He shook his head.

“However, I have already controlled their Souls.”

“Even if they leave this dungeon and wake up, they will become a group of drooling idiots.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can try.”

Zhou Huai’s raised staff suddenly paused.

The spell that was about to form slowly dissipated.

Zuo Daolin’s laughter became even more unrestrained.

“You seem... ”

“Not as heartless as you claim...”
