Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 258: Abyss Fire 4

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Bai emerged from the office building, dripping with cold sweat.

Zhou Bai found it somewhat unbelievable, "Is Principal Zhao also a mole for Heavenly Demon?" If even Principal Zhao was a mole, who in this city could he trust? Zhou Bai’s mind raced through the faces of various individuals, and in the end, he couldn’t fully trust anyone, "I’ll have to report this matter, but not until a week later. Once the cooldown of the gemstone is over and I have the power of time reversal to back me up, I can report it."

Christina said, "Then let’s wait a week. I don’t think the movements from the Heavenly Demon side are that quick. We can afford to wait a week. Right now, approaching any of the leaders is too dangerous."

Zhou Bai let out a dry laugh, "And what if in a week’s time, we’ve approached the wrong person again?"

Christina sighed upon seeing Zhou Bai’s struggle and clenched fists, "Haven’t we already discussed this? The most likely scenario is that most people have become moles for Heavenly Demon. It’s even possible that all the higher-ups will eventually turn to Heavenly Demon, embracing immortality and obtaining indestructible bodies. That’s the reality…"

Zhou Bai laughed, "Then should I not stop humanity from gaining immortality? Should I not stop their progress? And should our old grudges be forgotten too?"

After a pause, Christina spoke, "I think Heavenly Demon won’t give such benefits to humanity so easily. That doesn’t fit with my impression of Heavenly Demon."

Zhou Bai stood at the 1500-meter boundary of the Dao School’s East City Campus, looking down at the darkened earth below. He pondered the current situation, recalling the dead Alice and others at the base, the sacrificed Zhang Aidao, Zhang Aidao’s deformed father, the mutated Ying Zi from the school, Jian Xing who had been possessed, Du Bing who had sacrificed himself trying to save Xia Li and Jing Xiu, and Kong Zheng who had joined the Heavenly Demon...

All of a sudden, Zhou Bai clenched his fists tightly and let out a ferocious yell at the sky.

Ah!!!

Zhou Bai’s physical condition at that moment could be said to surpass human limits, with each punch and kick possessing the force to split mountains and rocks. His organs, strengthened by prolonged training, were as powerful as the engines of a fighter jet.

At that moment, with his full power spent in the roar, one could see the air around Zhou Bai’s mouth visibly twist with the tremendous force of his voice, the thunderous sound spreading to the sky and even causing the clouds to stir slightly.

Christina’s tail drooped down, and she spoke with resignation, "Zhou Bai, you..."

Zhou Bai, looking up at the sky, confessed with a sense of helplessness, "What should we do? If all of humanity wants to side with Heavenly Demon, what then? Should we stop them? Battle against humanity itself? Or should we follow them and join Heavenly Demon’s side?"

Ever since arriving in this world, no matter the difficulty, with Christina’s help and the aid of the cultivation support system, Zhou Bai had always faced challenges with a smile.

But in this moment, facing a future where all of humanity might surrender to Heavenly Demon, he felt lost.

Christina fell silent and sighed deeply.

Zhou Bai lay down in a random spot, his mind a jumble of thoughts as he reflected on the nearly ten months of events that had passed.

Surviving the base, cultivating his way into the Dao School in East City, facing dangers and hardships, swallowing his pride, accepting his mediocre talents, he had persevered in his cultivation, hoping to defeat Heavenly Demon...

"But if everyone wishes to become part of Heavenly Demon, is there truly any point in fighting?" Zhou Bai’s eyes became vacant, suddenly feeling as if the effort he had bottled up for the last ten months had evaporated, as if his struggles meant nothing to the people of East City, to humanity as a whole.

It was at that moment that Elsa’s voice called out in Zhou Bai’s mind, "Zhou Bai! What’s wrong with you?"

Zhou Bai sighed, "Nothing, Elsa, I’m just a little tired."

Elsa’s tongue reached out to lick Zhou Bai’s forehead, "Zhou Bai, let me lick you, it’ll make you feel better."

Zhou Bai forcibly pushed Elsa back, saying helplessly, "Elsa! I’ve told you not to come out from the mind palace at will… It’s okay, I’m fine."

Elsa responded, "Zhou Bai, don’t be unwell, we still have to find Alice and the others! I miss them so much!"

"Alice..." Zhou Bai murmured for a while, then stood up.

Christina spoke, "Zhou Bai, what do you intend to do? If the entire East City wants to join Heavenly Demon, your resistance is meaningless."

"Tina, I don’t intend to oppose anything. But Lin Muqing, at least I have to save her," Zhou Bai thought aloud.

Christina: "We followed those Heavenly Demons before but didn’t find her, what do you plan to do?"

Zhou Bai said, "Before, we looked into the past of those Heavenly Demons, now let’s search for Lin Muqing’s past images. We’ll follow her past images to see exactly how she was captured and where she was taken."

Zhou Bai returned to the outside of Lin Muqing’s dormitory only to discover that the entire dormitory building had been sealed off, with a large number of police, guards, and night soldiers appearing outside.

Pretending to be just passing by, Zhou Bai approached and asked a passerby, "What happened?"

"I don’t know, seems to be related to the Heavenly Demons."

"I heard the whole building was attacked by Heavenly Demons..."

"Nonsense, I heard clearly that it’s the people inside the building who colluded with the Heavenly Demons, and they were all taken away."

After listening for a while, Zhou Bai’s expression subtly changed. Instead of forcibly entering, he decided to wait until late at night when there were no people around to come back.

...

At 1 AM, Zhou Bai had specifically canceled his poop-burning duties to come to Lin Muqing’s dormitory building.

Elsa and Christina were also brought along within the Sea of Poetry.

"Is there nobody around?"

From a distance, Zhou Bai observed for a moment, and then sent Christina to take a roundabout look, only to find that the dormitory building was still sealed off, but there were no guards watching.

Thus, he went to the entrance of the dormitory and activated the divination to search for the images from earlier that day.

Since he didn’t even know when Lin Muqing had left the dormitory, he could only search minute by minute.

With such frequent use of divination, Zhou Bai soon felt uneasy, a strong irritability surged from his heart, giving him the idea to quickly use the divination to view the whole past week’s scenes in one go.

He quickly realized something was wrong, temporarily suppressed this thought, and then used Lazy Points to heal.

In this way, Zhou Bai continued to search the past with divination, fighting the rising madness within him, and finally located Lin Muqing, consuming more than 10,000 Lazy Points.

"She left the dormitory two days ago."

Zhou Bai’s eyes narrowed as he followed the direction Lin Muqing left in, using divination to see where she went.

Soon he arrived near the water and electricity bureau and saw the scene of Lin Muqing being attacked.

He saw before him, Lin Muqing suddenly fell to the ground, a streak of blood erupted from her stomach, and a trace of shock flickered in her eyes.

Then, she appeared to try to stand up and fight back, but her body convulsed soon after, her face turned a shade of blue, and she fainted on the ground.

Several men in black approached, quickly cleaned up the bloodstains, and carried off the unconscious Lin Muqing.

Zhou Bai frowned upon seeing this scene because, from his perspective observing the past images, he could not find any source of the attack.

"What’s going on?"

...

Meanwhile, at a bus station 0 meters away in Donghua City, a short-statured young man slowly stepped out, turning to say to the girl beside him, "Annie, I really didn’t expect to come back to Donghua City so soon."

The girl beside him said, "The situation in Donghua City is probably worse than we imagined. ’Kite’ has lost contact with us for two days now, we might have come too late." She sighed, "What on earth is Qingtian Dao Sect thinking? Have they gone mad?"

"Let’s talk to some old friends first," the young man said indifferently, "Even if this city has been completely dragged into darkness, I must carve out a path in this darkness."
