I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 396

Bai Yan's recent action happened behind Mu Ling, but he knew that his gesture of raising his hand must have been noticed by the perceptive Mu Ling.

However, little did she know that she was actually very close to patting her head.

He gazed carefully at the newcomer.

That was a very thin humanoid creature, over two meters tall, with only a small amount of pale blue skin exposed under its black clothing. On its delicate skin, there were many black patterns.

It slowly crawled out from the dark mud, opening its eyelids, and its yellow eyeballs observed the surroundings.

Meanwhile, the trembling "Hain" remained kneeling on the ground, mouth wide open, silently screaming.

Hain's abdomen seemed to function as a portal, and from the darkness flowing out of her belly, more than one humanoid creatures gradually emerged.

There were more than ten of them in total!

It took them several minutes before they appeared one by one, standing in front of Hain and conversing in a cryptic language. Neither Mu Ling nor Bai Yan could understand a word.

Dozens of humanoid creatures didn't even glance at "her", clearly indicating that this situation was very common to them.

"These people must be the ones behind the scenes... But they are not strong enough, so they didn't notice us..."

Bai Yan smiled.

"What should we do?"

Mu Ling looked at Profligate, and she would give great importance to the opinion of her senior.

"Wait a moment,"

Bai Yan nodded gently and, in the next moment, directly activated "Deep Blue World."

Time stood still.

Bai Yan, a male character, slowly approached in the frozen world. More than a dozen humanoid beings suddenly appeared and froze in place. They had no idea about Bai Yan's actions.

Bai Yan, without any hesitation, felt his pupils darken as the power of "Connection" started to gather within him.

"Connection" was one of the most powerful sources of information in World, so why wait any longer when the time was right?

This is also why Bai Yan personally came to investigate, because his abilities were the most suited for the current situation.

He first used "Connection" to investigate the talisman.

"Will we see Him?"

Bai Yan murmured to himself, actually, when he made up his mind to trace back the talisman, he had already prepared himself mentally.

In the next moment, Bai Yan seemed to see...the embodiment of fear itself.

He had never felt such fear and despair before. Every inch of his body trembled in that moment as a massive black fireball, with a pale grey-white core, occupied the center of the universe.

The entire dimension, except for fear itself, seemed to have nothing left at all!

Bai Yan could feel that the being before his eyes was none other than an Outer God!

Black Abyss Deep Sea!

He wanted to scream and cry out, but couldn't make a sound, feeling completely lost.

Until a surge of strength rose from deep within, Bai Yan gradually recovered, gaining the determination and courage to face It directly.

Suddenly, the Black Abyss Deep Sea seemed to also take notice of him.

Even though it was just an illusion from the past, the mighty Outer God would still be affected by it.

Finally, Bai Yan slowly broke free from the illusions of the past.

Now Bai Yan could be a hundred percent certain, the humanoid creatures with blue skin standing before him truly worshiped the Black Abyss Deep Sea.

At this very moment, only one second had passed.

Next, he grasped the black amulet tightly without letting it go.

The Real Data World.

Soon, he obtained the gamified data of the black amulet, and immediately all the secrets it contained were revealed.

"Black Remnant"

"It is a special creation crafted by the 'Doomsday Race', who worship the 'Black Abyss Deep Sea'. Extraordinary beings can make contact and travel using the power of the 'Black Remnant'."

As it turns out, this thing has great significance! It can serve as a launching pad for world invasion.

Bai Yan took a deep breath and, in the last two seconds of the "Deep Blue World" freezing time, once again touched those humanoid creatures with pale blue skin.

"Connection"

Doomsday Race.

This is the name of their clan.

In essence, the Doomsday Race is not a single race, but a collective of beings from diverse universes who believe in the Black Abyss Deep Sea. Their most important feature is the black patterns that cannot be removed from their skin.

They primarily dwell within the abyss, worshipping the "Black Abyss Deep Sea" of the Outer Gods. They spread fear across countless worlds, wielding the power of curses that instill great dread.

They worshiped many of the Outer Gods, but the benefits they received were often unstable. However, the Black Abyss Deep Sea was an exception.

As long as they intentionally spread fear, they would gain the power of curses bestowed by the Black Abyss Deep Sea. Because of this, many individuals longing for power joined the Doomsday Race.

The Doomsday Race is not a true race, but their existence has indeed brought about the destruction of many worlds. They could be described as infamous, despised to a degree second only to the demons in hell.

As for the black viscous monster that possessed people, it was a thing called "Skeuomorphism."

The Doomsday Race were special things created specifically for invasion and stealth, not naturally existing races. They were an invention born from alchemy magic.

"The descendants of the Doomsday Race... dark patterns..."

Bai Yan suddenly remembered, black patterns, sinners also had black patterns, and the black patterns on their bodies looked so similar.

"Could it be..."

He formed a conjecture that didn't seem unfounded.

As for Ganis's recent whereabouts, Bai Yan had certainly been keeping an eye on them.

He also knew that the Noah civilization were outsiders. They arrived in the Noah world after the Great Migration and defeated the native inhabitants who were the ancestors of the sinners.

In a twist of fate, they turned their descendants into sinners and subjected them to slavery and exile for nearly ten thousand years.

Ganis felt an overwhelming anger and confusion upon discovering the truth.

But there was another thing that kept Ganis hesitating.

That is the legend of the Persecuted ancestors summoning the Outer Gods.

Is this slander or reality?

At this very moment, Bai Yan obtained even more important information here. It was that the ancestors of the sinners might be, no, they could very well be a branch of the Doomsday Race!

"Perhaps, for the ancient civilization of Noah thousands of years ago... defeating the ancestors of sinners was like vanquishing demons, a righteous act and not something malicious."

This also explains why the benevolent and hopeful deity "Heart of Radiance" surprisingly didn't oppose the war at first.

Time passed and things changed.

The sinners of today and the Doomsday Race of the past, perhaps, have become greatly different.

Bai Yan felt that he had uncovered a corner of the historical truth.

Of course, while he pondered over so many things, he had actually slipped back into "hiding" without ever letting the Doomsday Race before him notice.

Mu Ling furrowed her brows, unaware of what had just happened, and asked:

"What kind of people are these, the ones from a race I've never seen before?"

With a smile, Bai Yan, who had already obtained a lot of information, said:

"They... were descendants of the Doomsday Race."

--

Alan sat in his office, repeatedly watching the computer screen... reviewing recent footage of several Night Watchers who had been "possessed".

"Strange..."

He fell into deep thought, unable to find anything particularly special.

After a while, Alan turned off the recording and began to search based on the commonalities among the individuals.

"So, what did these few people do before? Or, do they have any common points? For example, do they all have some kind of special ability, or have they all experienced something? Maybe even, do they share anything on their birthdays?"

Do they have some kind of common ground that attracts these Night Watchers to those dark things?

When Alan first started searching in this direction, he couldn't find any clues.

But soon, he had a sudden realization.

Indeed, his own authority was so low that he had no access to any secretive Demon Hunt Agency classified information!

He couldn't continue searching like this.

And so, without any hesitation, he stepped inside the Babel Tower and entered the forum.

"Mysterious Magic: Are you there, Mr. X?"

"Mr. X": What is it?

Great! As long as she's here, everything will be fine!

Alan's heart filled with joy, and he showed a smile.

The people of the Babel Tower were very powerful, and he was well aware of this.

Saving World is not a fantasy.

He joined a truly great and mysterious organization, oh!

And so, Alan continued his story.

"Mysterious Magic", "Please help me investigate something related to the Demon Hunt General Agency in Tatsumi City, which was mentioned in the story of 'Hidden Azure'... I have sent you a list, a total of three people who have been possessed by the Night Watchers."

"Mysterious Magic", "I wanted to investigate if these people had any commonalities in the past. For example, whether they had any interactions together or carried out a mission together?"

"Mr. X", "Very well, leave it to me."

Cybertyrant: In just a few moments, the Cybertyrant brought forth the intelligence it had found.

"Mr. X", "Your ideas and thoughts are correct. They indeed acted together in the past and even carried out a highly classified mission."

Alan took a deep breath, knowing that his approach was completely correct.

Since they were on a mission, there must be someone who assigned them the task.

So, would being "possessed" be perhaps inevitable for them?

Who else within the Demon Hunt General Agency knew about this?

Why... did the Leaf King know about the Night Watcher's situation before the Demon Hunt General Agency?

This matter actually puzzled Alan the most.

The Leaf King was the newly appointed leader of the Air Alliance, indeed. However, he was not the head of the Demon Hunt General Agency. According to reason, he shouldn't have known about the Night Watcher's situation earlier than the Demon Hunt General Agency!

Various puzzles deepened Alan's contemplation.

"Mysterious Magic: What kind of task is it? Can you send me the detailed information?"

"Mr. X", "Hmm, I have finished organizing the information. You can take a look at it yourself."

So, Alan quickly received a file transmitted from the other end.

This file was divided into two parts: written materials and video materials.

Alan, first, watched the video materials. In the videos, a total of four people appeared and went to a place that seemed like the outskirts of a city to begin preparing for a ceremony.

The ceremony they were setting up was a bit difficult for Alan to understand, but it didn't seem to have anything unusual about it.

However, among the four individuals, Alan found one of the female figures a bit familiar. However, this woman was entirely wrapped in a black cloak, so even though the video was clear, Alan couldn't see her true face.

But the other three people were clearly Huang Feng, Hain, and another replaced Night Watcher.

"What on earth is going on?"

Alan proceeded to examine the written version of the document and quickly discovered that someone within the Demon Hunt General Agency had requested the four Night Watchers to embark on a secretive mission in the outskirts of the City of the Highest.

The specific details of the secretive mission were not recorded in the documents.

Maybe it was that ceremony.

"The City of the Highest? This document is from a few months ago, which means it refers to the City of the Highest at that time, not Tatsumi City?"

Alan took a look and saw that the confidential level of the information was classified as "top secret."

That means, only a handful of individuals within the Demon Hunt General Agency are able to access this record.

"Wait, are there four Night Watchers in total?"

Alan frowned as he remembered that currently, three Night Watchers had been "possessed."

"Speaking of this...the fourth person is probably in danger."

Soon, Alan noticed the name of the fourth Night Watcher.

To my surprise, it was her!

The last person, just like myself, was also a member of the Sword-wielding Troop. Ai!

Alan immediately realized that the cold and arrogant woman had a great connection to this matter.
