Chapter 292 - Demon Baby (1/2)
Bai Shixin was overseeing the progress of the informatization of the Greater Rat Clan and communicating with the human engineers in order to understand the core of this computerized informatization system.
At the same time, Elder Ancestor Bai and Nie Yuan slipped away from underground and arrived at the peak of a nearby mountain.
It was night time. The stars were twinkling as the moon hid its face. On the top of the mountain, a constant breeze brought about some coldness in the air.
The duo looked up on the galactic sky and talked for a short while.
Nie Yuan nodded slightly before the both of them left the mountaintop and return to the deep underground.
However, none of them had noticed a wisp of black smoke appearing in thin air and entered Nie Yuan’s body.
After they had left, Vigilante A hurried to the exact spot the two had left.
What could make the Eastern Pharos hurry?
The System said in confusion, “Hm, there was a faint black spot that disappeared as soon as it appeared. I almost caught it.”
Fang Ning was researching the Dream-Cultivation Method and was not paying attention.
The System had missed out on plenty of monsters before. For example, he had only caught two fish in the Land of Heritage before he had to return empty-handed.
A sudden thought crossed his mind. He asked, “Say that again. What color was that? I think I heard an incredible word.”
The System said, “Faint black. I haven’t seen a villain of this color for a long time, if we kill it, it will definitely boost our Mythos.”
Fang Ning’s heart jumped. Trembling, he asked, “Is a new villain threatening to destroy Earth? I remember Insect Demon had turned black right before he was vanquished.”
Naturally, he was shocked. Was he not trying to live a peaceful life with all those overtime he had taken?
This supervillain appearing at this moment was just opposing Fang Ning’s wishes!
The System said, “Billionaire, you’re right. What do we do?”
Fang Ning’s brows furrowed as he vocalized his thoughts. ” Lemme think. Insect Demon had wanted to swallow every living being on Earth by procreating a limitless number of insects, thereby triggering the end of the world; Hydra Demon wanted to trigger a chain volcanic eruption to lower Earth’s temperature; What does this new villain want to do?”
The System repeated, “That’s right, what does he want to do?”
Fang Ning was speechless. “What are you repeating my words for? Check the villain out.”
Vigilante A landed shortly on top of the mountain.
It was the exact spot from where Elder Ancestor Bai and Nie Yuan had left.
It was wide and barren. There was no tree in sight. The rocks on the mountain were rough and its cliff was steep. In the dead of night, there was a peppering of firelight as they looked down.
Looking up, the starry sky was clear but moonless. There was no haze or fog obscuring the surrounding.
Through the System View, Fang Ning seemed to have an understanding. “You mean the black dot disappeared from here?”
The System confirmed, “That’s right.”
Fang Ning shook his head. “Too many possibilities, too little clues. I’ll relay this to Zheng Dao so he could inform the Truth Department and the Alliance so they can keep an eye on this.”
The System quipped, “So you don’t have any clues?”
Fang Ning said incredulously, “I have too many clues but no evidence.”
The System retorted, “You’re just lazy to look for evidence and wanted to leave this to someone else. I’ve seen through you.”
Fang Ning ignored it and said, “I have to work overtime and cultivate. You take note of it. The next time the thing appears, catch it.”
The few days following that were calm and quiet. All the sources returned with no special discovery.
If Fang Ning had not known that the System would never lie with regards to farming monsters, he would have doubted his own judgment.
However, since the System told him what it told him, there must be a supervillain in hiding, discreetly executing a plan of destroying Earth.
Many people could have the thought to destroy Earth, but those with the power as well as willingness to do so was rare.
Fang Ning only worried about it for a few days and had let go.
‘What was there to worry about? Even if the sky is falling, Sir System can take care of it.’
Therefore, Fang Ning continued researching his Dream-Cultivation Method.
Another week flew past without any news. Fang Ning finally had some ideas on the Dream-Cultivation Method when Zheng Dao sent him a severe text.
“Tianjing Fawang and Lady Tian Zhu were arguing in the Truth Department’s internal market. No one wants to let the other win, looks like they’re about to fight.”
“Tianjing Fawang requested you to vanquish a demon.”
“Lady Tian Zhu asked for you to be a judge.”
‘What happened? How did the two ‘Tian’s clash with each other?’
Fang Ning read the content of their argument carefully and his face immediately changed.
He said, “Sir, you have to go check it out.”
The System exorcised the ghoul wandering in the graveyard and said, “No.”
Fang Ning demanded, “Why not?”
The System said confidently, “The Truth Department’s internal market is in the northwest of Ji City. The System Map had already been unveiled so I can see them clearly. Both of them were not evil, they’re not red or black, one of them was even a green dot, an ally. So why am I going there?”
Fang Ning got it. The System would never be a busybody…
Upholding justice was something it had done daily, but to be a fair judge was something it had never done.
Fang Ning said in exasperation, “Fine, if you’re not going, I will.”
