Chapter 115: “The Confession of the Emperor” (2)
Black tentacles, resembling the darkness of night, emerged from “Mr. Mystery’s” body.
They numbered in the thousands, swiftly spreading across the night sky and charging toward the Night Watchers ahead.
Each of the jet-black tentacles applied immense pressure on the people. Even a conventional army would likely be obliterated in no time against the force of “Mr. Mystery’s” power.
Kessel ceased his forward motion, halting in place.
He focused his gaze on the man not far from him.
The man resembling “Mr. Mystery” suddenly realized that everyone under the cover of darkness had vanished at once, leaving him alone in a world of shadows.
Abruptly!
Two enormous pupils appeared in the sky!
They shone like two stars on either side, staring at “Mr. Mystery” with a mighty and regal expression.
In the sky, beneath the immense eyes, a mouth resembling the very darkness itself tore open.
“Are you going to defy the imperial decree?”
The voice, carrying an undeniable and absolute authority, echoed relentlessly in Mr. Mystery’s mind, not fading.
“Lowly soul.”
“Embrace… death.”
Meanwhile,
Bai Yan and the other Night Watchers witnessed an entirely different scene.
They saw only Kessel’s eyes burning with silver flames, while the black tentacles covering the sky suddenly halted.
In an instant, “Mr. Mystery’s” body erupted into flames.
In the blazing silver fire, his form melted away like a candle.
This was the power of the “Emperor”—a master of soul magic. What he had just cast was the pinnacle of soul magic:
Spiritual Covenant Decree.
A faint white light entered Kessel’s hand. It was “Mr. Mystery’s” soul.
Kessel remained silent for a moment.
As the white light in his hand slowly dissipated, he spoke.
“It’s over. I analyzed his soul and confirmed that the action target is ‘Mr. Mystery.'”
At this point, everyone finally exhaled a collective sigh of relief.
“Phew, it’s over.”
Alan also let out a relieved breath and then turned to Bai Yan, flashing him a smile.
Bai Yan pretended not to notice and looked upward at the sky.
After Kessel’s repeated confirmations, the combat support personnel began entering the scene.
They worked alongside the Night Watchers to clean up and search the battlefield that had already been concluded.
The remaining heretics who weren’t dead were arrested one by one.
There had been hundreds of heretics within the Black Star Faction stronghold, and more than half of them had been killed on the spot by the Night Watchers.
The rest, naturally, had no good outcome.
Bai Yan’s publicly recognized skill was intelligence analysis. Though he originally planned to help with the search, he was called aside by Kessel.
The mighty “Emperor” stood alone in the corner of an old building, waiting for Bai Yan to approach.
“Bai Yan, you’ve arrived.”
“This is for you; it contains my contact information.”
Kessel lifted his head, smiled, and handed Bai Yan a note.
Bai Yan’s heart sank.
This guy…
Why give me his contact info? Why does it feel like I can’t refuse?
At this point, all we can do is hope that the “Emperor” is actually a woman in disguise.
Kessel continued.
“If you ever face trouble or need anything, as long as it’s within my capabilities, I will help you… except for you, I’ve also given my contact info to that Night Watcher named Alan.”
“I heard you two are good friends?”
“You are the greatest acquisition in my ‘journey’ this time.”
Kessel spoke calmly.
“They always tell me I spoil the juniors too much, but I don’t believe that. If we let ‘geniuses’ perish due to wrong choices and difficulties, this country will fall into a state I dread to imagine.”
“However, the opportunity to change the future is equal for everyone, and I refuse to leave the future uncertain.”
Kessel paused before speaking more seriously,
“We, as humans, can only safeguard the ‘present.’ Only once you all grow up will we see an orderly ‘future.'”
“I don’t know your thoughts or what kind of justice you uphold, but I can tell you’re a good person, Bai Yan.”
So, he wants to train me… Bai Yan was momentarily stunned.
This aligns with the rumored temperament of the “Emperor.”
“Thank you.”
Bai Yan nodded and took the note.
After a brief pause, he added, “If I ever find myself in a situation I can’t resolve, I’ll definitely reach out for help. You have my word.”
Kessel chuckled. “I can tell you’re the type who’ll live a long life, unlike Lin Bian.”
Bai Yan smiled but said nothing.
Sorry.
Although you’re particularly interested in me, I’m not a loyal member of the Demon Hunt Agency, nor will I ever be.
I’m already the secret leader of the salvation organization Babel Tower.
In some sense… it’s not a bad thing. I’ll find a way to make good use of you.
Bai Yan tucked the note with the “Emperor’s” contact details away and quietly considered another matter.
From the information in “Babel Tower”, it was clear that “Mr. Mystery’s” story wasn’t over. He had successfully deceived the Night Watchers and even misled the “Emperor.”
And he was likely the only one who knew the truth, but he couldn’t explain why.
Bai Yan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Quite interesting, isn’t it?
Actually, now that I think about it, the good news is that “Nightsaber” still has a chance to deal with him personally.
