Desperate Night.

Chapter 263 Chapter 263 Finale Part

"That's the end of it."

In the lobby of the Stone Castle.

A black-masked man holding a cane slowly walked out of the shadows and looked at the surveillance projection on the wall.

The projection seemed to be delayed, the picture flickered and blurred, and it was obvious that it was disturbed.

The screen also froze on the scene one minute ago. The sheep man rushed towards Yiyi. Everyone fell to the ground, covered in blood. The outcome was already decided.

"Let's go, it's time to take the next step."

President Yongsheng walked forward, and behind him, three mysterious men, also wearing black robes and black metal masks, also walked out slowly.

"The fourth line of defense. It's pretty good to have made it this far, but that's all." One of the short and fat old women said with a smile.

"There's no problem here. Let's take a look at the investigation team of the Freedom Alliance." Another burly man said in a deep voice.

"The situation in Donghe has been settled. As long as Flika and the Free Alliance confirm the situation, it will be time for us to officially build a new city. The rising of the Pool of Night, which has gathered most of the sacrifices, has begun to accelerate. It will probably take more than an hour." President Yongsheng explained.

He stretched out his hand and nodded.

The projection flickered and turned into another underground passage.

The leader of Flicka's investigation team was a strong woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. At this time, the woman had been stabbed in the chest by the sheep man and was nailed to the wall, unable to struggle.

The rest of the team members were lying on the side in a mess, already dead.

"Look at the Free Alliance."

The president smiled and continued to switch the screen.

Suddenly the screen flashed again.

In the same underground passage, a slim figure with short red hair was pulling out a scimitar with one hand. The person pierced by the scimitar was none other than the Black Sheep, the Black Disaster Fusion Elite sent by the Association.

It seems that the surveillance location has been discovered.

The red-haired woman raised her head and showed a determined and bloody expression towards the surveillance camera.

"How is it possible!? A mere multi-enhanced person!? How did she kill the Black Sheep Man!?"

Several people from the association paused, stunned by the scene on the screen.

"Interesting." The president laughed instead. "Isn't this even more interesting?" He seemed to be thinking of something funny, and he raised his head and laughed even more happily.

"Could it be that Mesha's people are here...!?" Suddenly, the other five people focused their eyes on a black-robed man who had been silent in the corner.

"It's just a minor inconvenience. The president must think this will add a little fun, am I right, Mr. President?"

The man in black robe lowered his head and spoke, his voice was calm and somewhat unusually calm.

"Indeed. After all, everything is progressing as I expected." The president lowered his head, walked down the stairs step by step, took the lead to walk out of the lobby, and walked towards a dark underground passage.

Aurora City.

Chen Yaofeng knocked on the door gently and stood in a dark red corridor.

The surroundings were unusually quiet. The ground was covered with thick black carpet, and there was no sound at all when walking on it.

The armed guards stood upright and were evenly distributed on both sides of the corridor. They were wearing full-body black reinforced suits and heavy breathing valve helmets with unclear facial expressions, giving people a cold and solemn feeling of iron-blooded oppression.

"Come in." Father Chen Xiguang's voice came from inside.

Chen Yaofeng pushed open the door, and it was empty inside. Chen Xiguang, with a head full of white hair, was sitting in a wheelchair by the window, looking sideways at the simulated sunlight outside the window.

"Something happened to the investigation team." Chen Yaofeng said in a low voice.

Silence.

Chen Xiguang didn't reply, nor did he even turn around.

He still stared at the scenery outside, at the buildings bathed in simulated sunlight.

Tens of seconds later.

He turned around and looked at his son.

"I have just spoken to the other Aurora City committee members."

"All of them?" Chen Yaofeng was stunned, then reacted quickly.

"Yes." Chen Xiguang nodded.

He stood up slowly, holding the armrests of the chair, and slowly straightened his back.

"In fact, from the very beginning, our investigation team was just a smokescreen to cover the entry of the real investigation team."

"I noticed it." Chen Yaofeng was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, even though it was just a smokescreen, we still did our best to prepare for every step. Although, we all knew that we couldn't deal with the mysterious Eternal Life Association with just those things." Chen Xiguang continued. "But we still did it."

"There are too many spies in the Eternal Life Association. I can understand why they do this." Chen Yaofeng said.

"Precisely because of this, the real investigation department does not belong to any Aurora City. Instead, it is a separate external team that quietly enters." Chen Xiguang explained.

"What about our people?" Chen Yaofeng asked in a low voice. "We are not well prepared, and we are not even aware of the situation, but we are rushing into the Immortality Association." He clenched his fists a little bit, and his voice gradually became louder.

"We will do our best to protect them and save their lives." Chen Xiguang said seriously.

"They are the elite! They are the elite among the enhanced humans we carefully selected!" Chen Yaofeng said. "Even if they are asked to make sacrifices, they should at least have the right to know and the right to choose!!"

"If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself. What's more, it's a force like the Eternal Life Association that has so many spies." Chen Xiguang said calmly.

He looked at his son.

"From a father's perspective, I can understand you. From a personal perspective, I can also understand that this action is unfair to individuals. But..."

He paused.

"We have no choice but to respect individuals and lose the overall situation. Or we can sacrifice a few people for the sake of the overall situation. How would you choose?" "Me!" Chen Yaofeng clenched his fists. He had felt this way once before. That time, his best friend was gone.

And this time.
Snapped.

Chen Xiguang reached out and gently placed his hand on his son's shoulder.

"It doesn't matter. I made all the decisions. It doesn't matter."

There was a strong sense of fatigue in his voice.

The cold wind howled in the dark night.

Heavy snow covered everything.

Yu Hong's figure was like a white line, running quickly forward on the snow.

The snowflakes around him turned into a rain of slanting knives. The speed was so fast that the force of the snowflakes hitting his body was enough to cause bloody wounds on ordinary people.

The snowflakes at this time really look like knives.

behind him.

Lines of blue light mist emanated from its back and reacted with the surrounding black mist, canceling out each other.

Light and darkness seem to be natural enemies.

At this moment, the endless divine light of the positive source in Yu Hong's body was frantically trying to burst out of his body surface to resist the erosion of the surrounding black fog.

This kind of opposing offset even affected Yu Hong's original absorption of red value and conversion into internal energy.

The red radiation just reaches us and is offset by the blue light before we have time to absorb it.

"The influence of Zeus' light has gradually begun." He turned his head and looked in the direction of the camp.

There was already a faint blue light illuminating a small patch of sky.

In contrast to the pitch-black fog everywhere, this small illuminated area appears particularly dazzling.

He didn't know whether this was right or wrong, but as long as the black mark existed, he believed that his growth would allow him to control the development of the situation.

Turning back, he continued to check the direction of the mark and accelerated towards Yiyi.

And behind him.

In the distance, in the ultimate gate of the camp, blue figures were lining up and walking out from the crack of the gate one after another.

They were blue-robed human figures with illusory and translucent bodies.

They wore hoods, lowered their heads, and hid their hands in their wide sleeves.

There was no distinction between men and women; from looking at their hooded faces, one could see that there was nothing underneath the blue robes.

There was only a faint blue light flowing continuously.

Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly the door was pushed open again.

A floating cluster of crystals flew out from it.

This thing looked like a mineral piled up with countless blue crystals. Through the crystals, one could see a pale round eyeball in the center, which was constantly looking around.

The moment this thing appeared.

The black fog within a radius of 100 meters suddenly faded away.

All the black disasters below level seven felt an inexplicable sense of oppression at the same time.

This means that high-level individuals with a power concentration of level 8 or above have officially entered this world.

In the underground tunnel.

The elite members of the Free Alliance Investigation Department are advancing rapidly through the passage.

The red-haired woman in the lead had a dagger in her hand that fluttered like butterfly wings. With her high-speed movement, she could kill almost any opponent she met with just one blow.

In the passage, groups of twisted humanoid black disasters emitting black smoke were as numerous as rats, rushing towards any approaching individual.

"Be careful, Leia. Your strength, physique and speed have all been strengthened to the limit, but your resistance to toxins is still a little lacking. The Immortality Association is likely to make trouble for this reason."

A blurry shadow behind the woman reminded her in a low voice.

"You should say that apart from this one, everything else about me has been strengthened to the limit." The woman put away the knife, put it on the ground, and shook off the black ash on her sleeves.

"How's the arrangement going?" She asked in a low voice while waiting for the team members behind her to catch up.

"They're all here." The dark figure behind her stopped beside her and answered.

The bright white light illuminated the man's appearance.

He was an ugly, tall and thin man with a completely burned face. He wore a black top hat and was dressed in black, but his eyes were as bright as stars, as if they were glowing.

"Now that we've come this far, let me ask you one more question." The disfigured man said. "Do you really want to continue?"

"This is my fate." The woman, Leia, said calmly, "Even if I don't go looking for them, they are destined to come looking for me. I can't escape or avoid it."

"Luckily I found you." said the man.

"Yes. Without you, perhaps I would be like Lin Yiyi now, powerless, with everything controlled by others without knowing it." Leia sighed.

"You are indeed unique, Leia. I came to this conclusion from the first moment I found you. In a sense, I am lucky, and you are also lucky to have met each other." The man also sighed.

“So, as long as we get rid of the Pool of Night, we can stop the further deterioration of the Black Disaster. And then if we solve the original source, the Black Well, we can cut off the root cause of the Black Disaster, right?” Leia asked.

"Yes, the Pool of Night has been hidden and cannot be touched. Only when it descends and we can truly touch it, can it be truly destroyed. This is our only chance."

"This is also what he wants. So in the end, it depends on who has the harder fist." Leia continued to walk deeper into the tunnel.

Soon, a dark metal door appeared in front of her.

The door was extremely heavy, with a ferocious goat head carved in the middle of its surface.
