◎He saw the boy standing against the light◎

Thanks to the extremely backward technological level of the comic book world, even the Vatican, which is a leader in technology, uses extremely low-quality signing pens, which quickly washed away the dot matrix on Mo Lin's face.

Mo Lian subconsciously used sign language to talk to An Qi, "Are we going to the City Lord's Mansion next?"

But she soon realized that something was wrong. She and An Qi had met each other in the Black Tower, and based on past events, An Qi could not understand sign language.

But she had no way to communicate with people except sign language.

Mo Lian looked at the other person's furrowed brows, her fingers were stiff and unable to move, and then she saw the other person nodded.

The little girl's eyes widened in shock. Sign language was created after the war, and it was very difficult for children to learn it. Even An Mo had to be taught by her for several weeks before he could barely understand the simplest gestures.

But An Qi, who looks about the same age as An Mo, can actually understand all her movements?

In a trance, Mo Lian suddenly had an idea - is there anything in this world that An Qi doesn't know?

Gu Qian'an, who knows everything, was staring at Mo Lin's reaction. The little girl just stayed where she was after seeing him nod, which made him a little worried.

'Ball, are you sure your translation is correct?'

The ball's voice was very confident, 'I compared the gestures used by Mo Lian when communicating with others in the previous updates, and they are exactly the same as the sign language in your world. As long as the movements you just repeated to me are correct, my real-time translation will not be wrong!'

Its affirmation made Gu Qian'an put his doubts aside, and he took Mo Lian, who was still in a daze, away.

…

City Lord's Mansion.

The door of the City Lord's Mansion was wide open. In accordance with the new rules, in order to allow the guards to see his every move clearly, Bai Lezhan sat directly at the door, with piles of documents on the small table in front of him.

Gu Qian'an had already used his shadow to enter the City Lord's Mansion. He stood behind Bai Lezhan and watched Mo Lian walk step by step to the barrier.

He did not bring Mo Lian in directly. After all, Mo Lian came to deliver intelligence to Bai Lezhan, not to have Bai Lezhan put her on the wanted list.

However, Mo Lian was not invited in by Bai Lezhan. She was arrested by the guards as a person who violated the rules.

Although she has been using her special powers, unfortunately, in Yushan City, Bai Lezhan's rules are above all else, and the guards just continued their actions with a look of reluctance on their faces.

Bai Lezhan obviously recognized her, and after signaling the guards to leave, he placed a set of paper and pen in front of Mo Lian.

"How did you get to Yushan City? How did you avoid the guards patrolling the streets? Why did you come to me?" The man's red eyes were full of intimidation. "Write it down."

Gu Qi'an had expected Bai Lezhan's suspicion. If he showed concern for a little girl who could bypass all the guards and come to the City Lord's Mansion when the city was under strict alert, Gu Qi'an would feel something was wrong.

Mo Lian was very smart. She did not explain that she was the outsider who escaped a few days ago. Instead, she made up a story that she hired a superpower to bring her to Yushan City to seek refuge with Bai Lezhan, but the superpower saw that she was young and could be bullied and abandoned her in the back mountain.

She said that she was rescued by a blond man named Jinsnian in the back mountain, but he told her that she was about to turn into an alien species because of exposure to too much blue crystal energy.

Mo Lian didn't believe it, so he asked Jinnian to take him to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion, wanting to seek an answer from Bai Lezhan, the master of Yushan City.

"Will Bai Lezhan believe her?" The sound of Yuanqiu cracking melon seeds reached Gu Qian'an's ears.

"Of course he will believe it," Gu Qian said, "Don't forget that Kings was also a member of the Vatican before."

Feng Yang is sixteen years old this year and grew up in the Vatican. Before this, he didn't even know about Kingsnian's existence, let alone the Vatican's experiments on humans.

Mo Lian, who is only seven years old, can explain everything clearly, and it is completely consistent with the situation in Yushan City in recent years. Bai Lezhan will definitely believe it.

Sure enough, after reading the explanation written by Mo Lian, the red in Bai Lezhan's eyes became even more intense, and the paper was wrinkled from his squeezing.

The man's voice became very low, "This is all nonsense. How can a human turn into a different species? You will live in Yushan City during this period. I will protect your safety."

Before Mo Lian could reply, the guards took her away from the City Lord's Mansion.

Bai Lezhan was the only one left in the huge City Lord's Mansion. He held up the paper to cover his face, lowered his head and said softly, "How is it possible..."

"How is it impossible?" The voice that Bai Lezhan could never forget came from behind him, "I have long told you that your stupidity will kill everyone."

Bai Lezhan quickly stood up and distanced himself from the other party. The scattered important documents could no longer attract his attention.

"You killed the people of Yushan City, and you dare to appear in front of me!"

But the silver-haired boy's expression remained unchanged, as if his anger and vigilance were just scenes of funny comedy in the other party's eyes.

"You still have this thought at this point. Do you really think so, or are you...looking for excuses not to admit your own ignorance and incompetence?"

Before Bai Lezhan could answer, the other party's voice came again.

"Those missing people, those dead people, who killed them, do you really not know?"

"They didn't follow the rules!" Bai Lezhan's pupils were filled with scarlet, and the mole at the corner of his right eye looked like tears. "If they had always been under the protection of my supernatural power, they would never have been able to turn into alien species!"

He can save everyone, his supernatural powers can protect everyone, and as long as the contract remains, no one will die in front of him.

"Then why are you shaking?" The boy's voice was very calm. He took a step forward and looked into Bai Lezhan's eyes. "No matter how much you deceive yourself, your body's reaction is telling everyone - you are panicking."

The silver-haired boy's azure eyes were clear and pure, like a mirror in the sky reflecting all the evil in the world.

——Bai Lezhan saw himself.

His black hair, soaked with cold sweat, stuck to his forehead. His face was pale and his whole body was shaking.

Bai Lezhan could even clearly hear the sound of his heartbeat, ringing in his ears at an excessively fast frequency, as if breaking down his self-defense one by one.

"Admit it, you can't save anyone." Gu Qian'an looked at Bai Lezhan's eyes which gradually broke down. At the moment when the other party was most emotionally confused -

'Ball, spare some energy for me!'

The next second, the shadow behind Bai Lezhan began to surge. It broke away from the ground and clung tightly to Bai Lezhan's body!

…

Bai Lezhan knew clearly that this was his memory, corpses everywhere, alien species covering the sky, his companions' bodies were crushed by the advancing beasts before they could regroup, the whole world was scarlet as blood.

He saw the psychics who had once joked with him being torn to pieces by the aliens, and then continuing to fight with only the remaining half of their bodies under the protection of his superpowers.

He could only stand in a safe position and watch all this, because he was only a C-level psychic at that time, and his imperfect ability could only protect everyone within a 300-meter radius around him.

So even if he could help the other party avoid a crisis by moving a few steps forward, he could only stand here and watch everything happen.

An anxious voice rang in his ears - "Sir Knight Commander, the front line here is about to be completely captured. The Church orders you to retreat and preserve your strength."

He heard his own voice, "I can't leave. If I leave, these people will die here immediately!"

"Hurry up and leave," said a supernatural being whose left leg had been bitten off by an alien. "Your supernatural power is very strong. The Pope said that if you can reach a high level, you can protect anyone who has signed a contract with you without any distance restrictions. You can't die here."

"Our lives are not important. As long as you reach a higher level, you can save everyone."

"We should have died long ago with such serious injuries. It's already a big deal that we were able to kill two more aliens with the help of your special ability!"

"Go, Knight Commander. As long as you survive and become stronger, strong enough to protect everyone who signs a contract with you, our death will be valuable."

There are more and more alien species, adding fatal wounds to the bodies of the superpowers. Bai Lezhan knows clearly that as long as he leaves, they will die immediately.

But they were not afraid, so he could not stay.

He could only open his eyes wide to remember everyone's appearance and secretly promise himself that he would never let such a thing happen again.

But he was too weak.

Even with the constant supply of resources from the Holy See, it still took him seven years to go from C-level to S-level.

During the seven years, he became the only survivor countless times. Even though he could later go to the front line to kill the enemies with other superpowers, he could only continue to go to the next camp with the beautiful expectations of the dying people.

"You need to live."

——I will live.

"You want to become a high-level psychic"

——I will become a high-level esper.

"You must protect everyone who signs a contract with you."

——I will protect everyone who signs a contract with me.

S-class psychic Bai Lezhan is the strongest healing psychic in the world. He can save everyone who signs a contract with him. This is a well-known fact, and it must be a fact.

Otherwise, what would have become of those esper who left their hope of life to him, those esper who voluntarily stayed in the fallen position, those young and vibrant lives?

"But can you really do this?" A cold voice rang in his ears, and the scenery in front of him changed instantly.

"City Lord, this is the thirteenth supernatural being to die this month. According to investigation, he did not violate any rules. You see..."

The document handed over by the guard contained all of the deceased's recent actions, even recording exactly what he said.

Bai Lezhan saw himself throwing the documents aside and looked at the guard with a cold look, "If he didn't break the rules, are you saying that my ability is invalid?"

The guard even said he didn't dare, but he heard the conversation between the other party and others after he left.

"In the first place, the behavior report is so detailed that it even includes what they say in their sleep. There is not even a trace of illegal behavior. What other explanation is there except that there is something wrong with his ability?"

"I think so too. The cause of death of these 500 people is exactly the same. Could it be just a coincidence that people from different places got the same disease?"

Yes, that year a total of 754 people died from body explosions caused by superpower riots, but is it really such a coincidence?

Bai Lezhan looked at the extremely confident self in his memory with some confusion. If the superpowers broke the rules, they would only die from their own illness.

But so many people, could it be that they came to Yushan City because they had a premonition that there would be a supernatural riot?

"Of course they didn't come to Yushan City because of the supernatural riot."

The scene in front of him changed again. The familiar corridor background made Bai Lezhan realize belatedly that this was his City Lord's Mansion. He returned to reality.

A file was placed in front of him by the silver-haired boy——[Lyu Quan, age 34, cause of illness: both legs were broken by aliens in the war, except for the leg injury, the body is completely healthy, wish: want to stand up again]

Lu Quan is the death mutant who just appeared in his memory.

Bai Lezhan tightly grasped the file, using such force that he almost broke the entire file into pieces!

The taut paper broke apart at the point where the force was applied and scattered in the air. His neatly trimmed nails dug into the flesh of his palm, and he knelt on the ground out of inertia.

But he didn't care. He just looked at the words on the piece of paper that fell in front of him - except for the leg injury, the body is complete and healthy.

"This document has been in your archives all along, less than 300 meters away from you, but you have never looked for it."

Bai Lezhan knelt on the ground, his eyes were dazed. The young man's voice seemed to come from the distant sky, sentencing him.

"In fact, you have long known that your superpowers are not omnipotent, but you deceived yourself and refused to believe it. Instead, you blamed everything on those innocent superpowers who just wanted to survive."

Bai Lezhan pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Yes, I realized a long time ago that I can't save everyone, I just don't want to admit it."

He was unwilling to admit that his highly anticipated supernatural powers still had defects after reaching a high level, so he did not admit that there was a disease that he could not cure.

Only in this way can he attribute the death of the superpowers to their own disobedience to the rules, and he will still be the powerful superpower who can save everyone.

Bai Lezhan lowered his head, completely immersed in guilt and self-blame, and no longer wanted to react to anything in the outside world.

However, a sharp pain burst out from his body, as if an alien species was gnawing at his limbs. He raised his arms to hold on to the ground, but he was horrified to see dense scales clinging to his fingers and growing wildly towards his arms!

The message written by Mo Lian quickly emerged in his mind, but before he had time to think, the boy's voice rang in his ears.

"Do you still want to save people?"

The pain in his body continued to grow, but the boy's voice seemed to have magic that attracted all his attention.

Want to save someone?

Of course he wanted to!

The Vatican once conducted research and found that the powers awakened by psychics are their deepest desires. He was born in an age of war, so he does not want to see anyone die in front of him.

But--

"I have no chance..."

His body continued to transform into an alien species. His hands began to twist into eagle claws, and his legs connected together and began to transform into a snake tail.

"Not only me, but also the entire... the residents of Yushan City will become aliens because of my ignorance and incompetence. Just like you predicted, I killed them..."

His eyes had turned into the vertical pupils of a snake, bright red tears flowed from his eye sockets, and his bones began to break and reassemble.

"I know I did something wrong, but I...want to save them, I really..."

"If you know you're wrong, change it," the silver-haired boy half-knelt in front of him, and placed his slender fingers on his forehead, "Lower the rules, and let more people be protected within your power."

Bai Lezhan felt the pain in his body subside, and the scales quickly faded away, revealing human skin.

"If you want to save people, do your best," his appearance was reflected in the boy's azure eyes, "put all the damage you can reduce and all the pain you can relieve into practice."

His body returned to human form, his strength continued to increase, and even the hidden pain that had been bothering him completely disappeared.

"As for the things you can't do and the people you can't save," the boy stood up, "leave it to me."

Before falling into a coma, Bai Lezhan's eyes were only filled with the silver-haired boy standing against the light.

Just today, he admitted his mistakes, he accepted the judgment, he encountered God's punishment, and he was reborn.

Next chapter: A little perspective will take you into a different story

The war had a huge impact on Bai Lezhan. The appearance of blue crystal only accelerated Bai Lezhan's defense. After all, the Holy See was not an organization that would sit still and keep quiet. Any of their experiments could drive Bai Lezhan crazy.
