Twilight Boundary-Chapter 801 - 790: Who Is One of Us

The atmosphere was grim and silent as shadows stretched under the distant firelight.

To the north stood the Reincarnators, their silhouettes etched bizarrely against the night like demons descended to earth.

To the south was Hu Ma, his shadow cast long on the ground, vaguely showing phantom limbs like an evil god from the human world.

Due to identity and feelings, when they hadn't met, one hoped the other would enter the city to break the deadlock, while the other called for clearing out traitors, each with grand displays. But now, finally meeting in front of the ancestral hall, an unusual silence was revealed.

Of course, it's also possible that when National Master Dongxuan left, his displayed skills were too strong, suddenly affecting the mood both sides had been brewing.

But amidst this silence, not far from Hu Ma's side, the four Reincarnators from Shangjing suddenly looked up.

Since appearing next to the master, they've remained silent, and even after he left, unlike the Wang family they weren't in such a hurry, willing to abandon everything in Shangjing City to follow him.

But now, seeing the Reincarnators enter the city and surround Hu Ma, they seemed to awaken a bit from their rigid expressions, suddenly glancing around with a hoarse voice, like squeezed from the earth, eerily saying:

"The Hu Family harbors ill intentions, snatching my Immortal Fate, destroying my role, alongside the slaughter hatred of the previous generation of Reincarnator seniors. Now that the Reincarnators have entered the capital, they should settle the score with the Hu family descendants."

"…"

Such a heavy accusation! The Reincarnators busied themselves posing, and upon hearing this, jumped in shock.

Especially Er Guotou, upon hearing this, immediately grew tense, secretly shifting his position, intending to speak with a deep voice.

But before he could organize his words, he saw that group of Reincarnators already turning towards Hu Ma, their subtle movements brought an invisible pressure, and at the forefront, holding a giant umbrella, was the Hall God Negative Spirit, codenamed Floral Carving Wine.

He was the Huizhou captain and ranked among the top in strength within the Reincarnator group.

Seeing him move, the others immediately followed.

Then he shifted his cold gaze onto Hu Ma's face, suddenly asking in an aggressive tone: "Bears One and Two?"

"?"

Even Hu Ma, his Divine Soul slightly condensed, seemed to step into thin air, helplessly responding: "King Jiji."

"Alright."

Huizhou's Floral Carving Wine coldly eyed the surrounding people and said faintly: "I've confirmed the code. This guy is one of us."

"??"

Suddenly, countless faces in the scene turned dumbfounded.

"What nonsense are you up to?"

From the Shangjing Reincarnators, someone sternly shouted: "The master's secret plot with the Hu family was notified earlier. This guy was sewn from Old Lord's Immortal Fate stolen by the Daluo Dharma Sect, planted among the Reincarnators as a mole."

"Old Lord has great use for the Reincarnator group, and his Immortal Fate lies with him. We have no secrets left here, coming to Shangjing is to reclaim his Immortal Fate..."

"But he matched the code…"

Immediately, a Reincarnator looked at them with a strange expression and said: "Do you think our complex, meticulously designed code cannot be impersonated by outsiders?"

"It's precisely to identify who's one of us in complex situations!"

"But…"

These seemingly awakened Shangjing Reincarnators even looked confused: "Code comes after, sewn fate comes first…"

"How could he be trusted as someone from the Hu family…"

"…"

"Then you're less trustworthy…"

Someone shrank back, looking around, saying: "The only thing trustworthy in the Reincarnators is human sentiment; everyone here owes an Old White brother…"

"Even if there's trouble, shouldn't we ask before using knives or guns?"

"Indeed, we abide by laws and are not assassins!"

"…"

"You…"

The chaotic, messy conversations left the four Shangjing Reincarnators bewildered as if waking up to an entirely changed world, their hearts filled with frustration, fiercely declaring: "Do not forget, Old Lord's Immortal Fate rests with him!"

"He is the inherent enemy of the Reincarnators. Without reclaiming his Immortal Fate, it's tough to execute our mission. He… He's destined to be a Reincarnator enemy!"

"Ah?"

This statement frightened the crowd more, whispering cautiously amongst them: "Do Reincarnators have inherent missions?"

"I didn't know?"

"Damn it, no one's giving us salaries, why assign tasks directly?"

"…"

The topic reached a point where words struggled to form.

Whether the four Shangjing Reincarnators, Hu Ma, or Er Guotou, all felt somewhat strange, but for some reason, hearing these words made them anxious before, afterward they felt a realization of sorts.

The Reincarnator group is inherently too uncanny.

On the surface, each seems mad, yet inside they are very clear, sharp like monkeys, observant of everything, yet none want to voice it first.

"Heh, the Reincarnator group isn't a rigorous organization, never was, but has its reasons for doing things."

Just then, Er Guotou, who had let out a long sigh of relief, couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression as he slowly stepped forward, clasped his fists towards everyone, and said, "Since that's the case, let me, the captain-level figure among the reincarnators of Mingzhou, say a few words!"

"Actually, I have many things..."

"..."

"Take them down!"

Before the words had even finished, a voice suddenly shouted, and then a gust of chilling wind blew onto their faces.

Everyone was greatly shocked, alert and watchful. They saw a gust of evil wind blowing from within Shangjing City, and within this overwhelming wind were paper money pieces blown to their feet.

Among the paper money, a charming little lady dressed in commoner's clothing appeared faintly. Yet, it wasn't this little lady who spoke, but a white cat perched on her shoulder.

"Miss White Wine, you've come too..."

As soon as Er Guotou heard the white cat's voice, he was immediately delighted, turned around, saw the cat, but then hesitated slightly.

"There's no time for greetings."

And while the white cat sat on the shoulder of the little lady dressed in commoner's clothing, its gaze was coldly focused upon the four reincarnators, with a serious cat face, speaking human words: "First, block them, don't let any of them escape."

"What's going on here?"

With things happening so suddenly, Er Guotou was clearly a bit overwhelmed, quickly shifting his gaze to Miss Digu: "Miss Digu..."

Miss Digu followed up, her glance also fell on Hu Ma, a smile blossoming on her little face like a flower.

She waved her hands vigorously: "Senior, senior..."

"Look at me, look at me, this time I managed to keep up, didn't I?"

"..."

"?"

Er Guotou suddenly felt a bit wooden: "Anyway, I'm also the captain of Mingzhou, can't you show me a bit of respect?"

"Block us?"

And at this moment, those four reincarnators from Shangjing were also coldly staring at the white cat, while some lowered their heads, only looking at the countless paper money that landed on the ground following their appearance.

It seemed like each piece was lightly and normally placed, yet each appeared to land in a meticulously arranged spot, their faces no longer carried smiles, becoming somewhat rigid as they raised their heads: "Miss White Wine, during the days in Shangjing, we looked after you."

"And now, you don't believe us, you still want to take us down?"

"..."

Detecting the tone was unusual, the surrounding reincarnators didn't reveal anything on their faces, but their hands already prepared for action.

"Red Wine has already gone to Old Yin Mountain."

The white cat coldly stared at them, speaking each word slowly: "Judging by such words, you must know how those people looked after me back then."

"And what do you think, how would I deal with you demons?"

"..."

Having said these somewhat inexplicable words, the faces of the four reincarnators suddenly changed, while Hu Ma, who patiently stood not far from them, ready to act at any moment, accurately caught the change upon their faces.

It seemed as though the human-like shine on their faces was rapidly vanishing, reverting back to the expressionless faces that followed the State Preceptor.

"You have indeed forgotten your innate missions, almost becoming defective products."

As they spoke again, the four unexpectedly spoke in unison, their voices seemingly one: "But don't abandon your last opportunity, or else, the eternal punishment, awaits you."

"Attack."

As they revealed the unison appearance, Miss White Wine suddenly shouted, her voice filled with endless rage.

But currently in cat form, her shout was somewhat sharp.

And at this moment, Miss Digu suddenly formed a spell, and the paper money on the ground immediately wrapped towards the four.

Among the reincarnators, there were quicker ones who silently stepped forward, blocking the various paths of escape for these four, yet no one anticipated, these four had no intention of fleeing, rather stood still, letting the paper money wrap around them.

But the instant the paper money wrapped around them, their bodies suddenly seemed to deflate.

"Eternal punishment?"

Listening, Hu Ma's heart was slightly moved, faintly recalling having heard this term before.

During his return to Old Yin Mountain, extracting the Demon Suppression Golden Mace from Juehu Village, he'd seen something peculiar.

The same cold, mechanical voices, as with these four, also mentioned eternal punishment. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"What exactly is going on here?"

Seeing those four wrapped tightly by the paper money, like dried corpses, everyone around hurriedly stepped forward, asking in whispers.

"I have something to show you all."

Facing their astonishment, the white cat showed a human-like expression, slowly exhaling, squinting its eyes as it glanced towards Life-Knowing Hall, speaking softly: "Some terrifying entities have appeared among the reincarnators."

"But it's not him."

She calmly shifted her gaze to Hu Ma, gently nodding, then slowly said: "Instead, he is one of the most trustworthy, I am willing to vouch for him."
