Chapter 834: Accountability of Anqing Yu
In the spacious indoor training ground, over six hundred new recruits lay neatly on the ground.
Several instructors stood around the training area, exchanging glances and nodding to each other before stepping up to each sleeping recruit, delivering a kick to their backsides to wake them up.
“Wake up!”
“Still sleeping? The sun’s already shining on your backsides!”
“Get up! Do you think this is a nursing home?”
“…”
As the instructors shouted, the more than six hundred recruits gradually awakened, sitting up with dazed expressions, looking around in confusion…
Who am I? Where am I? How did I end up here?
Didn’t the Ancient God Church invade? Weren’t the instructors all sacrificed? Isn’t the Great Xia already doomed?!
What’s going on?
Among the crowd, the unconscious Ding Chongfeng was also kicked awake by an instructor. He took a full ten seconds to gather his thoughts before his brain started functioning again.
The Ancient God Church invasion, the annihilation of the instructors, the assembly in the hall, the final battle with the enemy… and then Brother Shen put on the fox mask?!
Ding Chongfeng recalled the scene he vaguely saw before losing consciousness, then turned to look at the lively instructors around him, as if he had figured something out, his mouth involuntarily gaping open…
Damn it, I’ve been played!!
……
Indoor training ground, second floor.
Yuan Gang and the others watched the new recruits below gradually waking up, letting out a long sigh of relief.
“Although there were some unexpected events, fortunately, none of the recruits were harmed, which is a small blessing in misfortune.”
“Instructor Yuan.” Beside him, An Qingyu, carrying a black coffin, spoke calmly, “Although you are the chief instructor of this training camp and a senior to Qiye and the others, there are some things I must say.”
An Qingyu turned to him, slightly furrowing his brows, “This time, if we hadn’t happened to serve as special guest instructors and detected the possibility of the Ancient God Church’s existence in advance, along with the cooperation of Qiye and Jialan, this batch of over six hundred recruits would have been in real danger…
Of course, I don’t doubt your concern for these recruits and your sense of responsibility. I believe that at critical moments, you would risk your lives to protect these kids, but even so, in the best-case scenario, even if these recruits could be saved, your instructors would still be annihilated here.
Regardless of the situation, the final outcome would be a heavy blow to the Great Xia.
I understand that this large-scale recruitment of new recruits has greatly increased your workload, but even so, such a low-level mistake should not have occurred.”
An Qingyu’s words were very pertinent, and what he said was undeniable fact. Some things Lin Qiye and the others couldn’t or wouldn’t say, but An Qingyu could. He wasn’t someone who came out of the training camp, so he could speak boldly to instructors like Yuan Gang without any hesitation.
Hearing this, there was no displeasure on Yuan Gang’s face; instead, he nodded solemnly.
“You’re right, the responsibility for this matter lies with me. I won’t evade responsibility. I will report truthfully to the higher-ups and accept all punishments…”
Yuan Gang paused, hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help but say:
“But to be honest, I still can’t understand…”
“What?”
“Perhaps saying this might make it seem like I want to evade responsibility, but…” Yuan Gang sighed, “I have personally checked the files of these over six hundred recruits multiple times. I verified everyone’s background, family relationships, and social connections with intelligence data, and all of them are real. There shouldn’t be any possibility of outsiders mixing in.”
An Qingyu was taken aback, asking in confusion:
“You mean you’ve verified all their information?”
“Exactly, I’m absolutely confident about this; there can’t be any mistakes.”
“Could it be that all the information in the files is real, but the recruits who came to participate in the training were swapped out?”
“Impossible. To prevent such situations, we use forbidden items to verify each person’s DNA during the registration process. Even if there are people who can alter their genes, it’s impossible for three of them to appear at the same time.”
“So, the possibility of being swapped out has been ruled out…” An Qingyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was pondering something.
“By the way.” Yuan Gang seemed to remember something, “We found a new recruit who is suspected to be a member of the Ancient God Church at the shooting range in the training camp, but when we discovered him, he was already knocked out. He is currently being controlled and interrogated; I don’t know if we can extract any clues.”
“If there are any survivors, investigating will indeed be easier.” An Qingyu nodded in agreement.
“What about Lin Qiye?” Yuan Gang looked around but didn’t find Lin Qiye among the members of the [Nightfall] team on the second floor.
“He? He has something to deal with and should be back soon.”
……
Outside the training camp.
Injured all over, Lu Baoyou limped through the entrance of the training camp, heading outside.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly stopped, turned back to take one last look at the training camp, his eyes filled with complex emotions…
In the end, he still couldn’t enter this training camp.
At that time, Lin Qiye had used his aura to stun nearly all the recruits, and only Lu Baoyou, under the protection of the Fallen Angel’s divine might, barely managed to stay awake. However, this time he chose not to persist in staying at the training camp but instead quietly left on his own.
He originally thought he knew what he wanted, but after battling Lin Qiye, he felt somewhat lost.
He always felt like he had overlooked something important.
There were still many things he hadn’t figured out.
So, he chose to leave.
After leaving, he didn’t know where to go or what to do…
At that moment, Lin Qiye’s words echoed in his ears again: “You don’t have to answer me now. For your father’s sake, I won’t kill you this time. Get out of this training camp and go home. When you find the answer… come back to find me.”
Go home…
Why do they all want him to go home?
Lu Baoyou didn’t understand, but he had a vague premonition that the answer Lin Qiye wanted him to find… was at home.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of clarity appeared in Lu Baoyou’s confused eyes, and he gradually quickened his pace toward the train station.
He didn’t notice that at this moment, outside the training camp, a figure quietly emerged from the void.
Lin Qiye gazed at the gradually receding figure, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was deep in thought.
After a moment, he seemed to have made a decision, lightly brushing his hand over the hilt of [Zhanbai].
“Dabai.” He spokeLight.
“Boss!” A massive shadow of a void bear appeared behind Lin Qiye, “What’s your command?”
“Follow him, but don’t let him notice.” Lin Qiye paused, then continued, “If he goes home and ultimately walks down the wrong path, don’t hesitate; eliminate him directly.”
“Understood!”
