Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 92 Discussion

When Erii and the others arrived at the medical area, not only were Jeff, Erica, and other hunters present, but Bai Yuekui and his group were also watching from the sidelines.

It can be said that everyone present, except for Bai Yuekui who remained calm, was dumbfounded and incredulous.

"Don't tell me that the big guy Ran Bing is holding is Mark?" Mo Cheng roared in disbelief.

"Holy crap, isn't this a pure Devouring Beast?! Carrie, you bastard, where did you hide Mark?!"

"Old woman, are you out of your mind?! We put you through human experimentation, and you've created a monster!"

"Ran Bing, come out quickly! It's dangerous!"

Several veterans got angry and made a move to rush into the operating room and start a fight.

"What's all this commotion about, you bunch of grown men?" Carrie snapped, hands on her hips. "If you're not going to help, just pretend you're mute!"

Erii and the others who had just arrived blinked in astonishment at the sight behind the reinforced glass—Beauty and the Beast.

Zaibing was curled up obediently in the arms of a dark gray Devouring Beast, which had the tail, torso, and limbs of a wild beast, with a hardened, rubber-like skin all over its body, but the facial features of its head looked just like those of a berserk human.

Moreover, this Devouring Beast was very quiet and docile, simply holding Zaibing silently with its eyes closed, as if enjoying a happy and beautiful time together.

Glass provides one-way visibility, but the Devouring Beast seemed to sense that more and more people were watching it, and its breathing unconsciously became heavier, revealing a human-like fear.

"Don't be afraid~ Everyone's here to see you," Ran Bing said, stroking its cheek like a mother and gently patting its head. "No matter what you become, I'll love you, and everyone will accept you, because you'll always be our most trusted Captain Mark~"

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Beast gradually calmed down, lowered its head with great dependence, and leaned against the ice-cold chest.

"? Markmon~" Erii muttered.

"Waaah," Erica wiped away her tears, her little mouth pouting, "Ran Bing is so gentle, and Captain Mark is so pitiful. They've had such a hard time, it's so touching, I'm so happy I could cry!"

"Sigh, how did Mark turn out like this?" Mo Cheng sighed deeply, looking at Bai Yuekui with his arms crossed, asking silently.

"How could there be no price for escaping the Grim Reaper's scythe?" Bai Yuekui said calmly.

"Well, at least we survived. If anyone's to blame, it's that beast Charles for doing something inhuman!" Jeff almost couldn't resist whipping the corpse.

"So what's his current situation? Is he human or a Devouring Beast? He can also absorb life essence? Then he's also part of the Mana ecosystem?" Dr. Carrie couldn't suppress her curiosity and leaned close to Bai Yuekui, bombarding him with questions.

Bai Yuekui didn't answer her question. Instead, she glanced at the group of old men present with great interest, her red lips slightly parted, "You really don't recognize me? What's wrong, cosplaying as an ostrich?"

She stared into Carrie's eyes, a smirk playing on her lips. "Over the years, you must have conducted countless experiments with the Abyss Dweller, right?"

Carrie shuddered, took two steps back, and said with a wry smile, "Hmph~ So what if we know each other? Morgan is dead, and the Lighthouse has fallen into your hands. This isn't the first time I've done something like remaining silent and going with the flow."

"If I really had backbone, I would have died back then," Victor said with a self-deprecating laugh.

What they were referring to was not Bai Yuekui wearing the Abyss Walker costume to the Lighthouse, but rather the bloody massacre carried out by Morgan to ensure the smooth implementation of the Three Laws, assassinating all high-ranking officials who opposed the Three Laws.

At that time, almost everyone opposed violating the three fundamental principles of human ethics and nature. Some people kept their opinions to themselves and dared not express them, while others protested openly and even tried to resort to violence.

The final result was obvious: Morgan's methods were more ruthless and merciless, and his former companions and students all became victims under the Three Laws.

"I've never understood why the city lord issued the three laws, when everything is clearly unreasonable," Jingnan said.

"Because human emotions will attract Devouring Beasts," Bai Yuekui explained simply.

Everyone was stunned.

In an instant, many doubts were resolved, and some previously unsolved cases were also answered.

They were overwhelmed with mixed feelings and gradually came to understand Morgan's helplessness as the city lord.

However, such a rigid rule was too cold-blooded and inflexible, so it was maintained for only a few years before landmines began to accumulate inside the lighthouse.

Fate played another cruel joke; the Mark that Morgan valued most was the biggest one.

"So that's how it is." Jingnan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"His mistake was keeping the secret, his mistake was being unwilling to accept new things, and his mistake was losing the courage to face death. The lighthouse is not hope, but a prison heading towards decay," Bai Yuekui criticized mercilessly.

She paused, gazing at Mark. "Hope is never a beacon."

"His greater mistake was not strictly adhering to the rules he set for himself. If Charles weren't his son, how could the society have existed—no, perhaps the Light and Shadow Society would never have even existed!" Xuefeng said solemnly. "I admit Morgan deserves respect for his lifelong dedication to the Lighthouse, but his mistakes are equally unforgivable!"

"Cough cough—"

'

Mo Cheng coughed heavily. "Everyone, allow me to interrupt for a moment. Have you strayed from the topic? There's no point in dwelling on old stories. Shouldn't we focus on the present, like whether Mark can turn back?"

Carrie shook her head. "I'm helpless. If you're willing to let me dissect him—"

"Shut up," Jeff snapped, then switched to a fawning expression. "Miss Bai, since it was your idea, you must have a way to solve it, right?"

Bai Yuekui said without blinking, "Mark is coming with me. The technology and facilities of the Lighthouse can't be solved. Also, I'm taking Lin Yuanzhe with me."

Everyone was startled.

"Mark is the commander of the Hunters and Morgan's chosen successor as the next city lord. What will happen to the Lighthouse now that he's gone?" Victor asked, his tone becoming more forceful.

"I was originally going to bring everyone along: Mark, Ran Bing, Erica, Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, Jeff, Hilda, Orland, and these uncles. If anyone else wants to come along, that's fine too," Erii interjected.

As soon as she spoke, the senior executives of the Lighthouse fell silent, their hearts bleeding.

Like a grand military review, his words completely undermined and uprooted the Lighthouse's fighting force.

But there was nothing they could say, since they all felt that Erii was already incredibly kind and benevolent. If it were Charles, he would have already massacred the Beacon of Light and ascended the throne, instead of having the chance to chat idly like this.

They can only take it one step at a time.

"Wow, the village is going to be much more lively!" Xia Dou exclaimed excitedly.

"They're all pretty capable guys, hehe. With them joining, the casualty rate on missions should decrease in the future."

Maido was equally happy.

Bai Yuekui raised an eyebrow. "In his current state, Mark doesn't seem capable of becoming the city lord, does he?"

Jingnan was speechless and had to admit it.

Bai Yuekui said no more, led Suixing and his group out of the room, and left with a message.

"Get ready as soon as possible, we'll be going down in three days."
