Chapter 139: The Savior Receives Bai Yan
Nighttime.
The abandoned hospital ought to have been vacant.
A somber atmosphere enveloped the frigid morgue, as if it still still contained corpses.
By the window stood a man in a traditional black robe, with slightly curled hair and the demeanor of a distinguished scholar.
He smiled calmly.
“This is the Relic we are here to trade, and you are punctual.”
He was holding a white box in his hand.
The man was none other than the recently renowned “Profligate. ”
In Tatsumi City’s Otherworld, no one knew his true identity or origin, although many had heard of him…
He has killed several very formidable villains.
Moreover, nearly all of them were viciously slain.
Facing “Profligate” were a man and a woman.
The man was tall, wearing a white suit, with a gentle smile and a trustworthy demeanor.
The girl was probably thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pure and innocent appearance, also in a white suit, standing calmly behind the man.
“All right.”
The man with the warm smile nodded slightly. He was the chief representative of the “Shadow Association” in Tatsumi City, and the inhabitants of the Otherworld referred to him as the “Phoenix,” tasked with acquiring and trading various relics and intelligence.
“This is the weapon you need.”
Phoenix also held a black, rectangular-shaped suitcase in his hand, resembling a music case.
Profligate nodded gently and said with a smile, “Indeed, it’s much easier to deal with a professional in such matters. If I were to look for a weapon myself, I wouldn’t know when I would find it.”
In the next moment, the two boxes in their hands suddenly swapped, while “Profligate” remained stationary.
A look of surprise crossed the phoenix’s face, yet he maintained his smile.
“It was a pleasure working with you. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come find me.”
He said calmly:
“In the Otherworld, both the Night Watchers of the Demon Hunt Agency and the cultists of the organization, as well as the members of various evil criminal groups, make up less than twenty percent of the population… The true building blocks of the Otherworld are individuals like us, who abide by the rules and belong to neutral shadow associations that trade goods and information, various task offices that carry out missions, as well as the “workers” in the sewers, and so on.”
“Of course, I am aware of this.”
“Profligate” nodded gently, then smiled and said, “Goodbye, and have a wonderful day.”
In the next moment, he disappeared without a trace.
Phoenix entered a deep state of contemplation and remarked, “Griffin, what are your thoughts? This individual is an unusual supernormal being. ”
The innocent girl standing behind him nodded with a expression that didn’t seem like that of a servant.
Instead, it seemed more like the true mastermind.
Griffon said calmly, “He is undoubtedly strong, very powerful… possibly even on par with them… Tatsumi City has changed since the appearance of the Babel Tower.”
——
At that moment, Bai Yan sat calmly in his office reading a book.
“Well done, the transaction was successful, otherwise it would not have been good to attract the attention of the Shadow Association.”
The reckless “Profligate” outside was his parasitic incarnation, while the true body of Bai Yan remained inside the safest part of the Demon Hunt Agency.
The item he traded was a recently confiscated, high-level Relic that he no longer needed, which he exchanged for a durable weapon for Mu Ling.
Bai Yan set aside the book he was reading, titled “Destruction and Rebirth! Chronicles of the Incarnation of Dark Light’s Descent! ”
The book’s contents included a brief biography of the Dark Light Church’s spiritual leader, the current ruler of “the Eruo League,” and the only Sequence 0, “Divine Executor.”
However, Bai Yan did not acquire any valuable information from it.
The content depicted scenes of divine beings descending to Earth to save all beings, establishing rules, and promoting virtue and beauty, along with legendary tales of the “Incarnation of Dark Light” vanquishing formidable Spawns and banishing fearsome evil gods.
The fragrance of gardenias wafted over.
Just then, Bai Yan heard a familiar voice.
“Let’s go, Bai Yan, we have a mission to execute together today.”
He looked up to see Miss Witch, her face beaming with a smile.
“Me and you?”
Merete Chambers nodded and smiled. “Yes, our captain, Adelaide, has other important matters to attend to today and will be in action with Leader Feather. So, it’s you and me together this time.”
Bai Yan remembered. It was time to assist the “Babel Tower Support Group” again. He hadn’t noticed anything in the past few times, but maybe they needed more drastic measures this time.
However, well…
He didn’t really want to team up with Miss Witch.
However, after scanning the surroundings of the office, Bai Yan discovered that the big man was missing, Holly was still in the hospital, and Black Vulture was sleeping soundly as usual…
“Very well.” He nodded lightly.
After leaving the Demon Hunt Agency, the two of them looked into each other’s eyes.
“How do we get there?” Bai Yan asked calmly.
Merete Chambers was slightly startled and said, “Don’t you have a car?”
“I haven’t passed my driving test.”
Bai Yan shook his head, confessing that he could actually drive, but he was too poor to afford a car in his lifetime and had never thought of taking a driving test.
Merete Chambers tilted her head and smiled, saying,
“Alright, let’s take a taxi. I’ll pay for the trip there, and you’ll pay for the trip back.”
——
After a short period, the two of them arrived at the location where the “Babel Tower Aid Group” had gathered initially.
The abandoned building.
Merete Chambers had disguised herself using an illusion, making everyone around her see her as Adelaide.
“Hey, Little Xia is here again!”
“I truly wish to become a member of the Arbiter.”
“Next time, I’ll have the opportunity to obtain extraordinary power!”
There were obviously many more people at this gathering, causing Bai Yan to slightly furrow his brow.
It seemed like there were over a hundred people there, and with so many people, it would be a serious problem if something went wrong… They should inform the Demon Hunt Agency to increase their intervention efforts.
“Hehe, after the recent Black Star incident, Babel Tower’s popularity in Tatsumi City has skyrocketed like never before.”
Merete Chambers took out a pure white mobile phone and handed it to Bai Yan beside her. There was news that had just been reported about it.
Bai Yan glanced over.
Yesterday, some netizens blackened Babel Tower online, saying it was just some showy rubbish. As a result, they were found and had their hands broken by someone following the internet connection that night!
Oh, I also have a fandom now? Bai Yan was completely stunned.
“What do you think of Babel Tower?” Merete Chambers suddenly asked.
“Average.”
Bai Yan shook his head lightly and said, “Recently, there are also many Night Watchers in the Demon Hunt Agency who have a good impression of them. Is Miss Merete also a sympathizer?”
“Yes, yes, I think Babel Tower is very powerful.”
Merete Chambers nodded repeatedly, with a sincere face, looking very obedient.
Looking…
Just then, the username “Autumncamesoon”, who called herself Xiao Qiu, also walked over.
Short in stature with dark, flowing hair, and glasses perched on her nose.
Despite her lack of confidence, people around her immediately felt grateful upon seeing Xiao Qiu, and she would distribute food that had been blessed to them.
It is said that eating this food can make one’s body healthier and prolong their life.
Adelaide took a piece of the food for analysis and found that it was just an ordinary health supplement.
“Xiao Xia, you’re here again.”
Xiao Qiu walked up to the two of them with a smile.
“Yes, Lord Qiu.”
Bai Yan silently activated his “Power Possession” to replicate the power of the “Psychic Dancer” and listen to Xiao Qiu’s thoughts.
“More and more people are coming lately, and we can offer more assistance to Babel Tower, securing the safety of this city.”
“The Savior must be very happy too, right?”
“I truly wish that one day I could fight alongside the warriors in the video.”
Unable to detect any anomalies, Bai Yan fell into silent contemplation.
Merete Chambers suddenly burst into laughter.
“Oh Xia (meaning summer), Xia, haha, you’re summer and she’s autumn. I think you two are quite compatible.”
She was clearly mocking Bai Yan’s impromptu fake name.
Xiao Qiu’s face flushed and she lowered her head to say, “Don’t say such things. Um, Mr. Xiao Xia, there’s actually something important I want to tell you.”
“What?” Bai Yan pretended to be unaware.
“You’re so clueless. She’s about to confess her feelings!”
Miss Witch pinched her chin and analyzed seriously.
Xiao Qiu expressed with enthusiasm, “Mr. Xiao Xia, your dream has been realized! While your contributions may be modest, the Savior has acknowledged your sincerity and plans to make an exception by summoning both of you! ”
“Even me?”
Miss Merete Chambers, pretending to be “Millie” as Adelaide, was slightly stunned.
“Yes, Miss Millie,” Xiao Qiu nodded gently, with a smile all over her face.
[Congratulations.]
[I envy you so much, being praised by the Savior as a person with potential.]
[Maybe they can also get extraordinary powers like me…]
Bai Yan thought, it seemed that Xiao Qiu was really an ignorant child, although she also had extraordinary powers, but at most she was only being used by people behind her.
“Follow me.”
Xiao Qiu turned and guided the two individuals away from the crowd, leading them to the top floor in a short time.
A middle-aged man in a black robe, exuding a sense of antiquity, stood before the group with his hands clasped behind his back.
“Lord Savior, I have brought them here.”
Xiao Qiu approached, kneeling down in awe with devout head bowed.
“Hmm.”
The middle-aged man did not turn around but merely nodded, his voice rich with worldly experience.
“You have done a great job, Xiao Qiu.”
“Lord Savior, Oh Lord Savior! I finally meet you!”
Miss Merete Chambers’ face was full of shock, excitement, and adoration, tears rolling in her eyes.
She also knelt down, devoutly gazing at the “Savior.”
“I, I want to become an ‘Arbiter’! Really! I want to protect this city! I want to join the Babel Tower!”
Quite the performer.
Bai Yan silently scoffed in his heart, but couldn’t help but smile.
“Oh, so you’re the ‘Savior’.”
