Chapter 949 Fighting Evil with Evil

A cold wind mixed with the thick smell of blood swept across the broken streets. Under the dim sky, dust-covered screens lay hidden in the ruins.

Suddenly, these screens flashed with white light, dense static snow flying across their displays. Weak electrical currents emanated from every broadcasting device in Osaka. These electronic devices, long abandoned due to lack of power, suddenly resumed normal operation.

The residents who were gathered together – arguing, silent, praying, or fighting among themselves – all paused simultaneously and turned to look at the ruins.

“Shhhh shhhh…”

After a brief pause, an intermittent voice suddenly came from the screens.

“Can… shhhh… can you hear me?”

At the moment this voice echoed through the city, the Black Kill Group members, who were riding motorcycles through the streets maintaining evacuation order, suddenly froze.

They all turned their heads to look at the snow-filled screens in the ruins at the street corners, their eyes gradually brightening!

“This voice…”

“It’s the Chief! It’s the Chief!”

“Except for those three words, the Japanese is quite awkward… it must be the Chief!”

“The Chief is back?!”

“…”

Among the excited Black Kill Group members speculating, Imori Yu’s face was filled with excitement. He quickly ran to the ruins nearby, dug out an old radio, and turned the volume to maximum.

The voice continued to come from the radio:

“I am the Chief of the Black Kill Group, Shen Qingzhu. If you can hear this message, I need your help…”

…

At the center of the magic array.

Lin Qiye’s figure landed beside Yuzuri Takashiro’s body, looking worriedly at An Qingyu nearby:

“How is he?”

“It’s okay, he can be saved,” An Qingyu pushed up his glasses and said calmly. “Right now he’s just in a weakened state because the suppressive effect of the drug has disappeared. If we had been one day later, even with the medicine I prepared to treat him, it would have been too late.

However, according to my previous calculations, there should have been at least two months until the drug became ineffective. Why did it happen so much earlier?”

Lin Qiye’s gaze fell on Yuzuri Takashiro, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

“He… has suffered.”

An Qingyu sighed, taking out a sealed dark green drug from his chest, while connecting a syringe, he said:

“During the time at the training camp, I had already completely decoded all the files of the [God Creation Project] and reverse-engineered the composition of that drug. After improvements, it should be able to completely fix this child’s genetic defects.

However, his depleted life force cannot be compensated.”

“You mean…”

“He will have a shortened lifespan, and by quite a lot.”

“…I understand.”

Lin Qiye closed his eyes helplessly.

Everything comes with a price. The God Creation Project gave Yuzuri Takashiro great power, but similarly, it also took something from him… If An Qingyu hadn’t spent so much time developing the drug, he would have been a corpse long ago.

The fact that Yuzuri Takashiro could now eliminate his genetic defects and grow up healthily was already something to be thankful for.

As the drug was injected into Yuzuri Takashiro’s body, the paleness gradually faded from his face, and his painfully furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

A moment later, Yuzuri Takashiro weakly opened his eyes.

Seeing Lin Qiye and An Qingyu before him, he was stunned for a moment, then spoke hoarsely:

“Brother Qiye… am I in heaven?”

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Qiye’s mouth as he reached out to pat Yuzuri Takashiro’s blood-stained white hair.

“Unfortunately, an angel like you shouldn’t return to heaven so early… so we brought you back.”

Yuzuri Takashiro was stunned for a while, then a smile bloomed on his face. He reached out to support himself on the ground, seemingly wanting to sit up, but An Qingyu immediately extended his hand and helped him lie back down.

“The drug is repairing your genetic defects, you shouldn’t move around carelessly.”

“Ah? Oh, okay…” Yuzuri Takashiro blinked. “This brother is?”

“An Qingyu, my vice-captain,” Lin Qiye smiled slightly. “He’s the one who saved your life.”

“Hello, Brother Qingyu.” Yuzuri Takashiro greeted obediently.

“Mm.”

A shy smile appeared on An Qingyu’s face.

“Brother Qiye, how’s the ‘Human Circle’?” Yuzuri Takashiro asked worriedly, as if remembering something.

“You’re in this state, and you’re still thinking about saving those people?”

“…Yes, it’s my mission.”

“Do you really think it’s worth it?”

Yuzuri Takashiro was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the little girl holding a bright yellow teddy bear, sitting timidly in the corner watching him.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

“Yes, it’s worth it.”

Looking at Yuzuri Takashiro’s determined eyes, Lin Qiye sighed helplessly after a moment.

“Don’t worry, this forbidden spell is killing the corpse beasts within the ‘Human Circle’, they don’t have time to slaughter ordinary people anymore.”

Yuzuri Takashiro looked at the black sun in the sky emitting terrifying beams of light, his expression relaxed somewhat as he smiled and said: “Brother Qiye, you’re amazing, easily accomplishing what I couldn’t do.”

“I just took a shortcut,” Lin Qiye shook his head, his gaze falling on the figures bravely charging through the corpse beasts in the distance, and smiled slightly. “Besides, I’m not fighting alone.”

Yuzuri Takashiro followed his gaze, and envy appeared in his cross-star-like eyes.

“However, don’t be too happy too soon,” Lin Qiye reminded him. “Although there’s no more threat from the corpse beasts, these people will still kill each other, which in some ways is more terrifying than the corpse beasts.”

Hearing these words, Yuzuri Takashiro’s expression became serious again.

He frowned, as if thinking seriously.

“Brother Qiye, tell me… how can people stop fighting? Why can’t everyone be a little kinder and live together harmoniously?”

Lin Qiye stared into his eyes, his expression somewhat complex. “Takashiro, not everyone’s heart is as pure and kind as yours… As long as greed, evil thoughts, or other negative emotions arise in their hearts, the red moon will amplify them infinitely, and human society can never be crystal clear.

In such circumstances, the evil in people’s hearts will grow wildly like weeds, and they will use malicious blades to hurt everyone around them.

As long as the red moon’s contamination exists, they won’t be able to put down their evil thoughts and restrain their behavior through reason and morality.

There’s only one way to make them stop fighting.

That is to use extreme fear, to use a stronger ‘evil’ than theirs, to shatter their greed and wickedness, and shock their spirits into submission.”
