Ch 201: An Unexpectedly Bright Result
Ji Chuan lowered his raised hand. The other party was just an ordinary person unaware of the truth. Even without Jianghua City’s Faith Power, there was still that of other cities; it wouldn’t cause serious consequences.
Sighing, Ji Chuan disappeared, leaving the man leaning against the corner, still somewhat apprehensive.
Why didn’t he kill him? He had so readily eaten the brains of those two people. What exactly had happened over there?
Due to the distance, he could only observe the situation through binoculars but couldn’t hear their conversation.
Had he misjudged him? If the other party was truly saving the world, would he become a sinner…?
The man no longer used his Special Ability. After confirming that the other party had indeed left, he remained stunned for a long time.
Back in the air, Ji Chuan continued to command the zombies to retreat to the edge of the City. Some people, seeing the zombies actually leave, also considered the truthfulness of the second voice.
Being able to restore peace to the City, then even if the other party was a zombie, what did it matter?
Some bold people had already started going out to check the situation. After confirming that the zombies were not aggressive, they began to thank God.
Many people only believe what they see. Ji Chuan discovered that the Faith Power was slowly rising. He considered it an unexpected gain.
Li Jingru and several others waited anxiously on the ground for Ji Chuan. Without his orders, no one dared to act.
“Master, what should we do next?”
“Shen Mengting, go to Aolijiaer as a guard to protect the people at the Stronghold. Everyone else, just return to your normal lives. I won’t call you unless there’s something.”
Hearing Ji Chuan’s reply, Li Jingru was stunned. Was it that simple? Did Number One, whom he had worried about for so long, really have no evil plans?
Shouldn’t he, after controlling himself, use the Esper Base to devour all of humanity? Was he really here to save the world?
“Yes, sir!”
Ji Chuan disappeared, and the several people in Jianghua City breathed a sigh of relief.
But Shen Mengting and Lu Zhao were quite troubled.
They didn’t know how to explain it to Jinglian City. Currently, only Lu Zhao could return to Jinglian City, but he didn’t want to.
He could only act according to Ji Chuan’s orders in the future. Going back, he would probably be discovered sooner or later. Lu Zhao thought of a simple strategy.
“Leader Li, report that we all died. Number One’s whereabouts are unknown.”
This was the most direct method. Fortunately, Li Jingru was also on their side, and the Leader’s words were quite credible.
Li Jingru nodded. He owed Meng Haonian a huge favor this time, and he also had to find a way to embellish it to avoid other strong people from other cities causing trouble for Ji Chuan.
Although his ability was somewhat lacking, his skill in playing Tai Chi within the system was quite proficient.
In Jianghua City, Lu Zhao only knew Shen Mengting. He planned to live in Aolijiaer as well, so he could look after Shen Mengting.
The disappeared Ji Chuan arrived in Shannan City. He was eager to know several pieces of information.
If it was as he guessed, those who hadn’t appeared were because their Crystal Cores had been absorbed by him, were they ordinary people without Special Abilities, or were they already dead?
Of the two Monochrome Crystal Cores he had absorbed, he only knew that Xu Xiao was in Shannan City. He didn’t know anything about the other Blindfolded Man.
If the Oracle Star Disk in Shannan City was a very important item, could he only illuminate the black pattern, or could he also illuminate the black, white, and green patterns?
Ji Chuan, clad in mecha, appeared at the gate of the Shannan City Base near dusk. The guards stopped him outside.
“I want to see Chu Tiankuo. Tell him I know the secret of the Star Plate; he will see me.”
The guard was dubious, but the other party’s mecha was very well-made, and its strength was presumably considerable. So he contacted his team leader.
After a moment, the guard received the message to let Ji Chuan in.
This time, Chu Tiankuo didn’t greet him personally. This was probably because the current God of Faith’s reputation wasn’t loud yet, and he hadn’t saved Yu Yin, so Chu Tiankuo didn’t trust him.
Ji Chuan was led to a room made of metal. The room seemed to be equipped with strong security equipment. Ji Chuan didn’t care and sat down in the chair in the room.
Chu Tiankuo was followed by two people, two Special Grade Ability Users with Red Crystal Cores. They were probably there to protect Chu Tiankuo’s safety, but Ji Chuan didn’t care.
“I am Chu Tiankuo. What do you wish to speak to me about, sir?”
“I know the secret of the Star Plate. Chief Chu, are you sure you want me to tell you now? I have no ill intentions. If I wanted to harm you, these two wouldn’t be able to stop me.”
“Such arrogance!”
One of the people behind him was angered by Ji Chuan’s words. As a Special Grade Ability User, they were only used to being looked up to, and no one had ever dared to look down on them.
But before he could move, he was already kneeling on the ground, unable to move.
Several guns instantly extended from the walls of the room, aiming at Ji Chuan from various angles. But they retracted into the wall after only briefly appearing.
The other person quickly shielded Chu Tiankuo. Her eyes were filled with fear; she seemed unable to understand what the mecha person had done.
“I don’t have much time. If Chief Chu doesn’t mind, I’ll just speak directly.”
“Wait, you two, get out.”
“Leader!”
The woman shielding him was somewhat worried, but Chu Tiankuo still waved his hand. He had already noticed the difference in strength.
As the mecha person had said, if he were to attack him, probably no one could stop him at the moment.
After the two left, Ji Chuan retracted the mecha, revealing his white hair.
“I can illuminate the Oracle Star Disk, and I can tell who can illuminate it.”
Chu Tiankuo stood up abruptly. He looked at Ji Chuan with excitement and complex emotions.
How did the other party know the secrets of Shannan City? He had worked hard for a long time after the Apocalypse but hadn’t found anyone who could illuminate the Oracle Star Disk. Should he let this person try?
“How do you know about the Oracle Star Disk?”
“I am the God of Faith, and I can also receive things similar to what a Prophet receives. It’s a kind of divine guidance.”
Ji Chuan met Chu Tiankuo’s surprised and somewhat fearful gaze. “Red Moon sinks, Dual-Souled Evil appears, Mortal Calamity arrives, Apocalypse begins.”
Chu Tiankuo slumped back into his chair, staring blankly at Ji Chuan. The other party seemed to know all the secrets of Shannan City. This was almost impossible. If this wasn’t a divine revelation, what was it?
“Come with me.”
Chu Tiankuo had made up his mind. It seemed that the person in front of him was the most hopeful person to illuminate the Star Plate. He had to try something that had yielded no results after so much effort.
But Ji Chuan walked in front of him, as if he knew where the Oracle Star Disk was.
Chu Tiankuo was constantly shocked, silently opening security doors one after another for Ji Chuan.
Ji Chuan arrived in front of the Oracle Star Disk. At present, the Star Plate had no illuminated patterns. Ji Chuan didn’t hesitate to pick it up.
As before, the black pattern in the center of the Star Plate was illuminated. Ji Chuan was somewhat surprised by this result.
The other two Monochrome Crystal Cores were also absorbed by himself, so why weren’t the corresponding patterns illuminated? Could it be the Crystal Core Spirit?
The absorbed Crystal Cores seemed to be completely absorbed by him like ordinary Crystal Cores, and he had never felt any Crystal Core Spirit.
Didn’t that mean that this Star Plate couldn’t be illuminated? Had he wasted the Star Plate?!
