Chapter 120: I Reckon Vigilante A Would Be Injured for at Least a Few Years
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Vigilante A, along with Xue Ba, rushed toward where Xue Ba detected the scent, the old man with the long-stemmed Chinese pipe and Robert were already hidden in an underground room .
Rather than calling it a room, it was more like a square cave, there was not even any furniture inside .
At this point, he was bowing to the other two in the room as he said, "Well met, Elder Ancestor . Well met, Brother Shixin . "
Elder Ancestor Bai said, "Elder Feng, this happened even after we have given you so much support . And now you're asking for my help again when they have ravaged your place, it's difficult for even me to help . "
Elder Feng said, "Please, Elder Ancestor, help us once again . After the final three hours, I, Pingheng will repay you with all my might in the future . "
Elder Ancestor Bai waved his hand and said, "You'll have to convince Shixin . He's the tactician of my clan . If he could come up with a fail-proof plan, I will help you . "
He then turned around and left the room .
Robert was silent, spacing out .
He realized something, 'From the first time I've met these two mysterious men, the one in black who coughs occasionally had been checking him out as if he had something worth paying attention to . '
As soon as Elder Ancestor Bai had left, Elder Feng immediately turned toward Bai Shixin and pleaded, "Shixin, my man, please ask Elder Ancestor to help just once more for the sake of our past relationships . "
It was then that Bai Shixin paid attention to the old man with the pipe . He shook his head and said, "Elder Feng, you're desperate and you're panicking . Can't you hear that the Elder Ancestor had already rejected you? In my clan, no one would be able to make any decision for him . If he had wanted to help, he would have agreed immediately, he was just giving you a step to back away with your dignity intact . "
Elder Feng blushed in embarrassment, "Dammit, what is he worried about! You really are a bunch of demons . You can't be afraid of Vigilante A, can you?"
Bai Shixin chuckled, "I have recently found out about a lot Vigilante A, I am not scared of him . "
"Furthermore, I think we will not need to fear him in the future, because someone will be in charge of eliminating him . Of course, If that happened, it'll be the best, but even if it didn't, he will be badly injured for a few years at least, I don't need to worry at all . "
As he heard it, Elder Feng's face paled, "So this is your plan . You're not willing to help us delaying him, it must be because you have figured out my trump card! You want us to sacrifice ourselves and take him out so you could finish off two threats at once . You are trying to murder with a borrowed knife!"
Bai Shixin smirked slightly and shook his head vigorously, "You're wrong, we are not borrowing any knives . From the beginning, we had been watching from the sidelines, we didn't even plan for any of this . At most, we had pushed the raft along the current, that's all . "
Elder Feng was clenching his jaw now, "Alright, you win this round, but things will catch you by surprise in the end!"
"Well, what else can we say? I wish you the best," said Bai Shixin straightforwardly before he left the room .
Elder Feng watched as he left . He felt as if he could just end the other person with an attack, but he held back, spitting out the words through gritted teeth, "Just you wait, when he explodes, you will go down along with me!"
"Robert," Elder Feng's face was dark as he addressed the middle-aged Caucasian man beside him . "We need to leave immediately . "
Robert did not move, he asked after missing a beat, "Are you calling me? I thought you're calling me Lobo-turda?"
Elder Feng picked up his pipe to give Robert a good knock on the head in anger, "You fool, you really think I don't know how you Chinese derogatory slang term for Caucasians in general, literally Ghost-person gweilos 1 are addressed? If you had dared to insist me to call you by your correct name, I would have made Lei Juedong throw you off the mountain! Don't even think about wasting my power to bring you with me!"
Robert said, "Yes, yes, thank you, sir . "
Both of them left immediately after .
In another room, Bai Shixin and Elder Ancestor Bai were watching a big screen, on which was a scene of a hall . There were many glass caskets placed in the room with a body inside of each . It was eerie .
Bai Shixin said, "Those two should have left . "
Elder Ancestor Bai said, "We can't let them leave like that . "
Bai Shixin replied, "I understand . I have already arranged for it . They will fall into the hands of the Truth Department very shortly . "
Elder Ancestor Bai said, "That's nice to hear . Let them fight . We shall watch them battle it out . It's easy enough to see through that Elder Feng's lies . Whether Anderson or Vigilante A is stronger, I couldn't tell . What do you think?"
Bai Shixin explained, "Elder Ancestor, you give yourself too little credit . According to my understanding, Vigilante A will definitely win, but he might be left with an injury for several years and miss the golden opportunity to grow, and he won't be a threat to us anymore . I overthought before this, I shouldn't have schemed against him recklessly . With his behavioral pattern, he will get himself in trouble sooner or later anyway, even if I don't scheme against him . This is a good example of it . "
Elder Ancestor Bai nodded, "Mm, Shixin, you have improved . You should focus on consolidating the foundation of our clan in the future . "
Bai Shixin replied, "I understand . "
***************
By that point, Xue Ba the yellow dog had led its master as well as Long Fan the Stygian snake into the underground hall .
There were many glass caskets with a person inside of each . Their chests were heaving slightly, indicating they're still alive .
However, all of them had their eyes closed, some looked sanguine, some others melancholic, some even had tears streaming down their faces .
Confused and spooked, Fang Ning felt there were far more than just five people, 'What is this?'
The people in the caskets did not seem to notice their arrival, their eyes were shut as tightly as they were before .
Fang Ning asked the System to send a message to Xue Ba, "Is Zheng Dao here?"
The yellow dog shook its head, "He isn't . Since just now, I haven't been able to smell Butler Zheng, or I would have informed you immediately . However, the five other you were looking for are in here, do you want me to point them out to you?"
Fang Ning checked the System Map and realized it was completely dark . When they were on ground-level, the map was unveiled, which was how Sir System could catch the snipers .
With the Thousand-mile Assistance, all nearby System Map would be unveiled for 24 hours .
'With the current situation, could it be that we are considered to be in a different area after we entered a certain depth?'
Just as Fang Ning was considering, the System acted .
Vigilante A said, "Long Fan, check out the surroundings . "
Long Fan slipped into the hall without a sound, made one round, and came back out .
Long Fan said, "Venerable One, I didn't detect anything wrong here, there's also no defensive measures . All of these people must be sleeping, I couldn't detect anything out of the ordinary . "
Fang Ning was not convinced . 'Is there really a pushover for this round? Impossible . There's no danger even with caskets lying all around? Did they think the webnovels I read are for nothing?'
The System's behavior following that proved Fang Ning right .
"Xue Ba, Long Fan, retreat now, as far as possible . "
As soon as Xue Ba heard the word 'retreat', it immediately leaped and disappeared into the ground, its reaction speed stunning Long Fan for a split second .
Immediately after, Long Fan turned around and zipped toward the entrance .
Before it could go far, its body stopped in mid-air, and its torso was slashed into dozens of segments .
It could only manage, "Dammit, I died again!"
All of its body segments exploded with a boom, turning into several wisps of white smoke and disappeared into the air .
In the System Space .
Fang Ning, who was watching the incident anxiously, was completely speechless, thinking, 'Brett, you really don't have to feel so bad about not coming along . Xue Ba would probably not be the first one to die if anything happened . . . '
'Thank goodness Sir System is here to save the day, and it was just a scare . '
'If it weren't for its immortality, it would have died right here today . '
The System knew that, and maybe because of that, it did not expend Morality Bar and Aggro Bar to save Long Fan .
A polite voice came out of a glass casket .
"Huh, Vigilante A, you are here after all . Wouldn't it be nice if you could just stand there and watch? We don't have beef between us, if we could leave each other alone, you can leave after you're satisfied with your tour, no one would stop you . "
"I just can't let that black snake go and report this to the Truth Department . That's why I killed it . I apologize, but the black snake is from the Truth Department, not your comrade, I believe?"
"Nonsense! Whimsical murder, you have sinned greatly . I shall execute you on behalf of the Heavens right here at this place!"
Vigilante A proclaimed with justice in his voice, preparing to act .
"Wait a second, your butler is not with me . After Elder Feng had captured him, he was wheeled away even before he arrived here . I only found out after . I tried to avoid unnecessary strife, so I asked Rose to placate you, but you still came after us . "
"It looks like you are being used by the Truth Department . Go and find your butler . I'm sure you want to make sure he's alright, don't you?"
Fang Ning could here something was wrong in the System Space . This person was courteous and did not seem like they wanted a fight .
What he did not know was that Butler Zheng was really in no danger, as confirmed by the effects of Thousand-mile Assistance .
However, seeing Sir System's unwillingness to let go, it must be because the person had sinned heavily . The System Map was still dark, Fang Ning could not see their color on the map .
'Hold on, I have the game book with information of creatures Sir System had met, it should be able to synchronize into the book . '
Fang Ning beckoned with his hand as the game book flew into his hand .
"Go to the Dossiers, newest record . "
The game book immediately started turning .
As soon as he saw the information, Fang Ning's face was in shock .
[Anderson . Sex: Genderless, Hobbies: N/A, Age: N/A . Identity: Vice President of Global Power Balance Association . ]
[Alignment: Extremely Evil . ]
[Power Level: Pond-level Powerhouse . Description: A swimming pool-size, depth unknown, extremely dangerous . ]
Fang Ning wanted to ask what power level Sir System would rank itself as, but they were in a battle, it might be a death match, Fang Ning would not disrupt Sir System like that .
However, he knew, Sir System would never let this person go .
A pond-level powerhouse would be the same as the six powerhouses of the Truth Department, also known as Grade A .
In comparison to basin-level and bucket-level, it definitely holds more water .
'I wonder if there would be river-level, lake-level, selevel in the future, and how strong they would be,' Fang Ning was stressed all of a sudden .
Fang Ning's thought went wild while he hid inside the System Space, while Vigilante A had already started fighting .
A dragon roared in the depth of the underground hall as a tiny fire dragon the size of the Stygian snake appeared .
Not only did Fang Ning not find it funny, he nodded in appreciation . 'Sir System is a super brainiac, after all . If it turned into a giant fire dragon in this terrain, it would be no fun . '
As soon as the tiny fire dragon appeared, it started spewing streams of fire as powerful as before, and it seemed like it was going to aim at all the caskets .
"Stop!"
Anderson hollered as a black force field appeared on top of all the caskets, shielding them .
