Chapter 287 - 167: I Will Leave Dawn

Baiyi didn’t stop. After glancing at the panel, he quickly ran towards the Divine Abomination Manufacturing Room.

Because, during the recent attack, not only were two curses and one highly poisonous attack ineffective against Pu Sheng.

He didn’t even inflict any damage on Pu Sheng!

This made Baiyi feel very uneasy. In the Nightmare World as well, he and Charles had nearly exhausted their trump cards, yet this guy hadn’t paid any price.

He even used Baiyi’s contract to successfully break free from the restrictions of the Ancient Gods and embraced the Abyss.

Once might be a coincidence, but twice...

Bam~

Baiyi instantly broke through the door, entering the place where the Divine Abomination was nurtured.

Thud~

A young man collapsed at this moment, his life force rapidly dwindling.

Baiyi quickly approached and directly fed him a Sigh of Life potion.

"Cough... cough...." The young man’s rapidly declining life force quickly recovered, and after taking more anti-curse and antidote potions, his erratic breath finally stabilized.

At this moment, a note slowly descended from the sky, the hurried red letters on it became visible.

[Baiyi, you’re really unfair---Pu Sheng.]

"Cough... Captain, you’re here."

Rein opened his eyes and said weakly, "I didn’t fail my mission, I got the information."

He slowly raised an ancient parchment, which bore a black rose, and even showed traces of the Power of the Bizarre. Clearly, this thing was something left in this world by the Lady of the Night.

With a wave of Baiyi’s hand, Pu Sheng’s note and the parchment disappeared.

After leaving the mayor’s house, Rein disguised himself as a Night Cultist and joined the patrol. The Lady of the Night indeed had power in this world, and her influence wasn’t negligible.

But this world had already been isolated by Xia, just as the Lady of the Night’s directives to the Black Night Rose members would be delayed, this place also isolated most of Her perception.

So, since Pu Sheng managed to blend in with the Night Cultists, Rein, a Gold master of disguise, could also easily infiltrate.

Especially since Baiyi had told them beforehand that Night Town would be attacked by monsters, taking advantage of the chaos to infiltrate, and then Baiyi and Pu Sheng hid and protected him during the sweep.

Afterwards, when confronting them, Rein was the first to enter and find the method of manufacturing the Divine Abomination.

Then came Baiyi’s backstab.

However, Baiyi hadn’t expected that from Pu Sheng...

"It’s okay, don’t worry."

Baiyi calmly said, then turned to look around the room, which was in chaos, but the only thing missing was the Divine Abomination’s incubation container.

It was clear he was in a hurry, so urgent that he fled after a single curse.

"Phew~ Phew~ Captain... I discovered a secret..."

Rein, feeling the breath of death retreat, couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

That aura just now was too terrifying; he almost didn’t react before nearly meeting his great-grandmother.

"What?"

Baiyi paused, Spiritual Power surging out, searching in this space.

"The core of Night Town is highly likely to be the Code in the mayor’s hands."

Confidence shone in Rein’s eyes: "As long as we destroy that core, the mayor is doomed!"

Baiyi was taken aback, relaxing visibly: "Really? You’ve done well, but we should leave; Lilia is still waiting for us outside."

"Lilia..." A different emotion appeared in Rein’s eyes, and he spoke seriously: "I knew the captain would protect her well."

Looking into Rein’s eyes, Baiyi suddenly understood some things.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Go on, and I’ll tell you a secret: Lilia isn’t unlucky; it’s whoever holds malice towards her that becomes unlucky, which is why all her previous teammates ended up dead."

Rein nodded and managed to stand, taking a step forward.

He stumbled but quickly steadied himself, walking more and more firmly until he began to run. The special aura around him disappeared, transforming back into a confident young man.

He stopped at the corner, turned slightly, mouthed silently with a smile, took a step, and vanished from Baiyi’s sight.

Baiyi withdrew his Spiritual Power.

He collected a lot of equipment, all of which were the high-level equipment of the Black Night Rose. Pu Sheng and Charles didn’t care for this equipment, but Baiyi valued it highly. Bringing them back for legion contributions would save a lot of trouble.

He tossed the equipment into the Space Ring and started to walk out, next aiming to retrieve that Code and then farm the Tear of Rules.

Though the Divine Abomination was lost, it didn’t affect the gains this time, and Baiyi was quite satisfied with the results.

Upon reaching the outside, in a massive hundred-meter-deep pit, only two Rule Monsters were left wandering, and at the edge of the pit, an eagle’s cry sounded.

This was the signal from the Gula Squad for gathering teammates.

Baiyi looked over, seeing Lilia happily embracing Rein, and the two walked into the distance.

Lilia glanced back at Baiyi, then hopped along, following Rein and disappearing.

Baiyi didn’t look much further. From the very beginning, when he used Mechanical Mosquitoes to contact Rein, he noticed how obedient Rein was, readily agreeing to his arrangements, as did Lilia, following any instruction.

Initially, Baiyi thought it was Gula, as the captain, establishing authority among his teammates, so he didn’t pay much attention.

Now it seemed Rein had known the captain had changed long ago but feared Baiyi would harm Lilia, prompting them to behave so obediently.
