Ye Ye couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated. Although Yu Cheng ultimately attributed the reason to her own stupidity, Ye Ye clearly didn't think so.
"Finally, I just hope Jiang Ran will succeed..."
After receiving Luo Wukuang's answer and confirming that the guy wasn't lying, Jiang Ran left the Demon Apostles' headquarters. Their series of actions left the Demon Apostles completely bewildered.
One of the chief apostles even personally met with Luo Wukuang alone.
"Is there anything special about you that makes them want to make a special trip for you?"
"Grand Apostle, I don't know either! They seemed particularly concerned about me, asking around about me, and even asked me a strange question!"
"What questions did I ask you?"
"Um... cough cough!"
Jiang Ran has no immediate plans to collect the seals, and information about the next important character in the plot is still unknown. Therefore, he does not intend to continue wandering around outside, but instead meets with Yu Cheng and Ye Ye to gain a clearer understanding of certain things.
Therefore, he first sent Wips and Dejov away, because he felt that there was no need for them to know about the following topic. Although the two were both renowned SS-level ghost story tellers, in Jiang Ran's eyes, they were still "ordinary people".
Therefore, they should avoid topics related to gods. Of course, Jiang Ran still told them about Yuri, but concealed some important information, telling them to use their innate teleportation ability to escape if they encountered similar danger.
As for Rusger, Jiang Ran directly summoned him. Based on the context, Rusger was also one of the people mentioned by the Pope, so either he had already awakened the Miracle, or he hadn't awakened it but possessed the Miracle.
As one of the people in the know, there was no need to send Ye Ye away; that would seem too deliberate.
Apart from Ye Ye and Gwen, everyone he gathered possessed [miracles]! This gave Jiang Ran a strange sense of high-class status, or perhaps it wasn't just a feeling.
From the dark sewer, a hand shrouded in black mist crawled out!
Yuri's breathing was very unsteady, and he looked extremely disheveled. After crawling out of the sewer, he didn't have time to do anything else and immediately lay down on the ground like a devout believer.
Deep within his soul, a majestic eye watched over him!
"Your Holiness, I'm sorry, I failed!"
"You've disappointed me." The voice that came from his mind made Yuri tremble. "It's been a long time since I've given you a mission, and what have you done? You let a slippery eel slip through your fingers, and even got killed afterward, almost revealing your secret. All you did from beginning to end was clean up a few small fry, which is not important at all."
"Go on to fulfill your duties. If there is a next time, I will guarantee that the rotten flesh you have become will never have the chance to regenerate."
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Yuri's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He tried to calm himself down with deep breaths, then walked towards Bates. Perhaps feeling that this was not sincere enough, he turned into a run!
What he didn't notice was that someone's lips curled up slightly.
Bates had somehow gotten a newspaper and was sitting on the bench by the roadside, legs crossed.
"If you want to understand this fake world, just use your mobile phone. Why bother reading these outdated newspapers?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Bates put down his newspaper. A figure with black mist emanating from him walked towards him.
"Newspapers make me seem more cultured. Judging from your appearance, where you can't even control the black mist all over your body, you seem to be seriously injured?"
"Judging from your expression, it seems I shouldn't have inquired about this? I told you to be careful." Bates chuckled. "I said there were some formidable guys among them, but who was it that told me 'No one can defeat [fear]' back then? Hahaha!"
Bates has the [Heavenly Eye], so he might have been observing the entire battle just now.
Yuri clenched his fists, then finally let out a long sigh: "I need everyone's exact coordinates right now."
"Aren't you going to let your injury heal first before doing this?"
"I must complete His Holiness the Pope's mission as soon as possible! Where are those two from the Northern Alliance?"
"Although those two are acting alone, I don't recommend you go looking for them. Some of them have the talent to teleport to your side. If you want to fight Jiang Ran, then it's up to you."
Yuri's lips twitched. He clearly didn't believe he could defeat Jiang Ran in his current state, especially since Jiang Ran had already awakened the [Miracle], making him no longer his target.
Many people have tried to defeat or kill Jiang Ran, but none have been heard of succeeding. Moreover, Jiang Ran has deep ties with other gods.
"If they are afflicted by my [fear], they will completely forget that they can teleport."
"That only applies to the past. Jiang Ran had already warned them that if there was any danger, they should teleport immediately, or Jiang Ran could teleport back to you and give you a surprise. Please don't treat him like a fool."
Bates was indeed keeping a close eye on everything...
Where are the people from the Black Sheep Kingdom?
"He's heading back to the starting point. Just a heads-up, that's also Jiang Ran's direction."
Yuri unconsciously clenched his fist a little tighter.
"Then tell me where Boers is!"
"He seems to have reached some kind of cooperation with Alex, and now the two of them are together. Oh, and Alex also has two other ghost storytellers from the Sun Never Sets with him. If you decide to go, you can also wipe out all three of them at once!"
"I'm not stupid. I'll go when they separate."
Yuri was fully aware of his current combat strength. Alex also possessed the [Miracle], and had the SSS-rank mystery storyteller, Bouls, by his side to assist him. He wasn't even confident of dealing with Alex alone, let alone with both of them!
Yuri was in a state of turmoil. He desperately wanted to complete the task assigned to him by the Pope, but after careful analysis, he realized that the task was completely impossible!
"I'll go to the starting point first."
"Are we going to send them to their deaths?"
“I will wait at a distance. That guy from Black Sheep Country is unlikely to cooperate with Jiang Ran, so he is most likely just handing over the seal to the referee. I just need to wait for him to leave and be alone before hunting him down.”
Yuri's figure slowly disappeared at the end of the street.
Bates sighed, then continued reading the newspaper in his hand.
