Chapter 591 - Not Touched Anymore (1/2)

After Fang Ning delegated all the miscellaneous works to Zheng Dao and the System, he stole some leisure time again, and secretly played some games.

However, not long after he was idle, something happened. It made him so furious that he almost ruined his newly bought mechanical keyboard.

Currently, he was watching the tragic event happening below, through the System View.

He saw an ordinary mountain village in China that was located on a hill, which only had one long rugged mountain path that connected to a wrecked road outside.

One could imagine how remote and how much this place fell behind by looking at the inadequate transportation.

That was the fact. There were short adobe houses, and bumpy mud roads, which made the place look just like a village from the last century.

Nonetheless, a place like this that stood aloof from worldly affairs was suffering an unexpected calamity.

The entire village was dead silent. There were no sounds of barking dogs and crowing cocks that were usually heard in farm villages.

On a contrary, the dense smell of blood wafted from low, run-down courtyards.

Inside them,the elderly, women, very few adults, and children who stayed behind laid everywhere on the ground… Each of them laid on the ground with their faces facing up, and tiny holes were seen on their foreheads, whereby white flashed were vaguely emitted. It was exceptionally terrifying and odd.

“Damn it…” He clenched his fists together and asked in a low voice, “Who did this?”

“It should be that Brain-Devouring Parasite. From the System Map, I saw that it appeared here so I immediately teleported here but I was still a step behind, it escaped again.” The System replied in a low voice too.

“It’s all my fault. If I wasn’t playing my games, perhaps they wouldn’t suffer such a painful death…” Fang Ning held his head with his hands, and no longer had the mood to play.

In fact, tragedies like this had been occurring frequently ever since the Era of Vitality started.

When the Insect Devil raged, it was like this but was even more disastrous. Back then, countless Mutated Giant Yellowjackets raged at the southern mountain areas, and destroyed many walled cities.

Basically, he had nothing to do with it as he was only a spectator. When Vigilante A arrived, the tragedy had already occurred, and the only thing he needed to do was to kill the culprit.

Right now, if he were to know of this situation through news on the Internet, he would only be just like one of the normal audience. He would just sigh and would leave some comments.

After that, there was nothing, he still needed to do whatever he needed to do. At the end of the day, he was not a saint…

As for now, he strongly felt that if he could work hard a little, perhaps he could have prevent this misfortune from happening.

“If, if I had enough experience in battle, and cooperated with you by releasing the Divine Monument and Earthly Monument to seal that space, perhaps this culprit won’t be able to escape…” Fang Ning still held his head as he murmured.

It was then when he heard the voice of a macaw.

“Boss, this has nothing to do with you. Big Brother Frog had sealed Heaven and Earth not long ago, it was an enormous task, and we won’t be able to do it again for a short while.

The words of the Earthly Monument, the parrot, made Fang Ning feel less guilty. It made him feel rather grateful for it.

For all those who spoke for him, he remembered them. At once, he decided to treat these two sapient tools well in the future, and would not merely treat them as artifacts or tools.

After all, they were born from the Heavenly Axiom, had high sapience, and were far better than most humans.

Fang Ning was not a fellow who grieved over the passing of spring or the advent of autumn, he had follower the System everywhere, and had witnessed far too many horrendous scenes. Dead people were a common sight.

After the Era of Vitality began, it would be uncommon if there were no abnormal deaths…

As a matter of course, Vigilante A was not almighty, it was already very shocking to the others as he was able to nip most of the calamities in the bud.

Since the current situation was not his responsibility, he naturally recovered very quickly.

“Ling Yunzi is such a despicable man, he’s really ruthless indeed, he’s putting the pressure on us now!” As soon as Fang Ning recovered from his pain, he immediately guessed the truth.

Right after Fang Ning said that, he entered the Draconic Penitentiary.

Anderson had already been waiting on the side. Upon seeing his presence, they immediately welcomed him.

“Follow me to the education facility, I want to look at how you educate Ling Yunzi.” Fang Ning uttered madly.

Although it was not his fault, he was still filled with anger.

Ever since he created the flying sword, his mobility greatly increased, and the name Eastern Pharos spread all over the world. Tragedies of innocent people getting killed during the Era of Vitality became less and less.

Besides, now that the System had learned the Diversion Technique, many powerful enemies were unable to escape too.

That being said, whatever happened today hit him in the face again.

Once again, this made him understand the theory. “it takes constant vigilance to avert evil, and while it’s easy to capture thieves even a thousand miles away, it’s difficult to guard against them for a thousand days”.

Even though most people were clueless that he was, in fact, Vigilante A, there were still people who knew. That person was probably secretly sneering at him.

Fang Ning knew very well that he was one who thrived in hardships, and withered when left contented in his current situation.

If he was in the face of adversity, he could fight his way out and came out alive, whereas, in favorable circumstances, he would go downhill, and became lazy…

In actual fact, there were many people like this. Li Cunxu from the Later Tang Dynasty was one of the typical examples, whereby Ouyang Xiu specially wrote an essay on this.

“A country prospers through toil and hard work, idleness causes one to lose oneself, this is natural.” Fang Ning recited this then said heavily, “Sir, you must work hard in the future, and must not remain idle. Don’t stop forging ahead just because you think that you’ve mastered divine abilities, and have grasped the world.”
