Chapter 887 - The Distinction Between Gods (1/2)

Fang Ning tried to probe a reaction from Sir System but to no avail. The fright had taken a toll on it.

Fang Ning could not do anything else but to look at the System Map and fly straightaway to the small island in the Pacific Ocean.

This island was also shrouded in a veil of mist.

Nevertheless, Fang Ning had already activated the Khorium Ore Spirit Gaze and noticed something interesting.

He could vaguely make out a few low buildings below him. Their architectural style was similar to those of university research buildings.

He flew lower and observed closely.

At once, he saw that the bodies of a number of young people in white strewn across the parameter of the buildings. Judging from their physical appearances, they were probably researchers.

Fang Ning’s heart sank as another possibility surfaced in his mind.

He quickly landed on the ground and approached one of the researchers. He reached out his hand and felt for a pulse, but there was nothing, though the body was still warm.

It looked like the researcher died a short while ago…

Suddenly, a cry for help could be heard. The voice was tinged with fear. “Help me… Why did this happen to us? We didn’t do anything evil…”

Fang Ning rushed towards the source of the cry and helped the person up. The young man was most likely in his twenties and could be one of those bright university students.

He pondered, then took out a pill from the System Space and fed it to the young man.

The student opened his eyes and burst out emotionally. “Sir Dragon God, please save us! There, there are devils here!”

Deep down, Fang Ning disagreed. ‘The devil is the world we stand on’

He consoled, “Relax. First, tell me what happened.”

“It’s like this…” The student trusted this devil-slaying hero completely and did not omit any details from him.

“This morning, I was about to hand in a report when I heard from my seniors that the Upper Realm goddess was rather terrified today. She ordered them to destroy the data from the experiments and left. As everyone pondered over what she said, an invisible devil showed up without warning…”

His face went white as sheet as he was still shaken by what he witnessed. It took him a long while before he could speak again.

“First, a senior collapsed, followed by others. Everyone was frightened and fled the laboratory, myself included.”

“The next thing I knew, my vision went black and I fainted until you arrived. Are they alright?”

The young student began to scan his surroundings in a panicky manner.

“There’s no need to look. You’re the only survivor.” Fang Ning confirmed this fact from the System Map. The young man was the only visible yellow dot on the map.

“Argh! This cruel and terrifying world! I wish we could return to the past…” The student shuddered in fear.

‘Unfortunately for you, there are also a lot of people who prefer not to return to the past… Including the person in front of you.’

Fang Ning did share the young man’s sentiment. It was true that the current world was much more frightening than last time, but at the same time, it was filled with numerous opportunities.

Things that could not be done in the past could be done now.

Therefore, he asked coolly, “Where do you live? Can you go home on your own?”

“Ah, Sir Dragon God, please take me back home. I live in Cologne in Europe.” The young student squeaked timidly. Vigilante A was like a bodyguard to him and he did not want to go home alone.

‘Mm, very well, this is why Sir System seldom rescues people…’ Fang Ning stared at the student and nodded.
