Inside the church, in a room that looked like a conference room.
Many Transcendents were either seated or standing. The flickering candle light reflected their gloomy expressions, which looked quite frightening.
At the head of the conference room, the old man in white coughed out: “Ladies and gentlemen… Do you have any doubts about what I just said?”
“I apologize… Sir!”
At the front of the conference table, a Transcendent who was playing with his revolver collected his gun back into its holder with a serious face, “According to what you said… The reason Nia City has turned into this is because of… a dream? That’s ridiculous!”
“No, it’s not ridiculous at all, in fact, you should be grateful… the lord of that dream has disappeared in the long course of history. Otherwise, none of us here would have a chance of survival.”
The old man said firmly.
“I don’t care how this bubble came about, all I want to know is how we can get out!”
Another provocative female professional spoke her mind.
She had fiery red long hair and was dressed mysteriously. A few people followed behind her, indicating that she held some influence.
“There is no way… unless we find the source of it!”
The old man slowly said, “Also… please believe that the Federation will not abandon you. There are two legendary ‘Sirs’ in the outside world ready to reinforce at any time.”
“Legendary… Fifth Level Professionals?”
It seemed that the woman had succumbed to the pressure and sat more upright, “In what way?”
The old man in white robe slowly stepped back, and another Eleventh Bureau investigator in a black coat stepped forward, “Our captain, along with Archbishop Oliver, was dispatched last night to deal with the Flesh Polluter in the East District, specifically, between Lilac Avenue and Virgin Road… We need to go there… ‘
“Why should we go there?”
A surprised voice came, ‘Why isn’t it better to wait here for reinforcements?”
“That’s impossible… ”
The investigator had expected this question, so he answered quickly, “Although there is enough food and water in the city… it is being corroded very fast, perhaps in just a few days, we will completely fall into the depths of the Spirit World and never be able to return.”
As soon as his words were out, there was silence in the room.
Immediately afterwards, the massive man who had asked the question earlier roared, “Why? Why don’t the Fifth Level ‘Sirs’ come in to save us, but wait outside?”
‘Of course, it’s because it’s very dangerous in here… especially in the form of a Spiritual Body, it’s even harder to say… there’s no reason for others to risk their lives for you… of course, it’s more likely that there are other plans, perhaps they have secretly sneaked in…’
Su Lu stood quietly in a corner, listening to all this.
Next to him, Ian and Fatima were both biting their lips, their faces pale, as if they were about to fall to the ground at any moment.
After all, they were only lower-tier professionals, their exposure to such danger was too early.
“Therefore… we must save ourselves, we have already contacted the outside world, and have received good news… Archbishop Oliver and Captain Theo are still alive, in the sewers of the East District!”
The investigator excitedly said, “As long as we can rescue them, and then cooperate with the two Fifth Level forces from the outside, we can definitely break through this predicament!”
The strongest Transcendent force in Nia City was still the previous official force.
This time, if not for the large number of personnel entrapped in the East District, they would not have hurriedly recruited civilian Transcendents.
“I ask you here, to step forward to the East District, to save the Archbishop and the captain. This is not for others, but for yourselves. Because that place may be the source of everything!”
By the end of his speech, the person in charge bowed deeply.
However, his passionate words got a sparse response.
Seeing this, the old man coughed, “Ladies and gentlemen… Nia City has been hit by major disasters one after another, especially this time… the existence of the professionals can no longer be concealed. The Registration Act will appear sooner or later… The Transcendents who participate in this operation will be recognized by the church and be our friends.”
The tone in his statement has become somewhat playful.
Su Lu watched all this, feeling a little amused.
After all, this kind of thing had happened too many times in history.
If they could escape, they would indeed need the protection of a particular force in the increasingly strong future of the Federation.
Now, it’s not just about their own lives, but also about other interests. “In that case, we have no objections.”
“Those beasts are not very strong, they are just hard to deal with!” The next moment, many professionals started expressing their opinions.
“Good… everyone prepare, we will set off in an hour!” Seeing this, the person in charge immediately announced.
“What do you think?”
As the Transcendents filed out of the conference room, each one picked a corner to either meditate or prepare their equipment.
Fatima came over to Su Lu, smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t understand. How did things become like this in just one night… It makes me feel like I’m still dreaming. ”
“In fact, we are indeed in a dream.”
Su Lu closed his eyes, understanding Fatima’s thoughts.
It’s no doubt that she, along with him and Ian, three low-tier professionals, were sticking together for safety.
The battle an hour later will definitely be very dangerous, it’s always good to have more assurance.
“You seem… very calm.”
Fatima couldn’t quite figure out this young master from a wealthy family anymore.
She originally thought that he was just a muggle who was interested in transcendent powers, but later she found out that she was the one who was fooled, as he has been in contact with professionals for a long time.
And now, seeing him so calm in the face of this disaster, his willpower alone was astonishing.
Without enough hardships, it’s impossible to have such a demeanor.
“I only appear calm on the surface… I’m actually very panicked inside…” Su Lu pulled out his Trick Cards, scanning them one by one.
This had been his harvest during this time. Now, with many professionals gathering here, it’s another place to fleece.
Afterall, the most powerful Archbishop Oliver and the rest were not here.
Each professional, either resting or polishing their weapons, once again quieted the place.
Only the roars of the beasts and the screams of humans echoed occasionally, tormenting the survivors’ gradually numb senses.
“Among the several hundred thousand population of Nia City, fewer than a tenth managed to escape here… At this moment, they can just barely survive in the external world, but with the intensification of the Spirit World’s infiltration, in the end… they won’t be able to escape.”
Su Lu had an excellent sense of time. When the time came, he stood up and joined the professionals, forming a group of more than thirty people.
“May the goddess bless you!”
The old man, who resembled an ascetic, gave them a blessing and then the person in charge from the Eleventh Bureau came before them and bowed deeply, “My name is Micius, thank you for your support. I’ll journey together with you guys to the East District..”
