Chapter 284 Chapter 284

This is a battle with a doomed outcome.

The situation was almost one-sided. Mr. Paper's puppet was completely unable to stop Mang Tao's group of vests and was soon beaten to pieces. Mr. Paper, who had already been seriously injured, was also pinned to the ground by the paper man.

He was so weak that he no longer looked like an SS-level monster.

"Ha... Looks like I can't escape the fate of being devoured." Mr. Paper tilted his head and stared at the paper man. "Before I die, can you tell me who you are? And you."

He turned his gaze to Mang Tao: "I don't understand the relationship between you and them."

Trust, tacit understanding, entrusting one's life to someone else, how could these words exist among the weird?

This situation broke his common sense and was as bizarre to him as a sow suddenly being able to fly or a chicken suddenly being able to swim.

This goes against the nature of the weird.

Mang Tao walked up to Mr. Zhi and squatted down, her long ponytail draped over his shoulders and her hair falling on the tip of Mr. Zhi's nose. He could smell a faint scent of flowers and plants.

"Because..." Mang Tao whispered, "They are me."

All the weird people present are not Qingtong, but they are all Qingtong.

Although the soul is divided into several pieces, the connection between them is still there. Even without going through the system, as long as they stand face to face with each other, they can recognize each other by the slight attraction of the soul, and even slightly perceive the emotional fluctuations of the other party.

Mr. Zhi's eyes widened slightly. He seemed to understand something, but he couldn't fully understand it: "Could your ability be..."

"Let's stop here." The paper man possessed Mr. Paper and whispered in his ear, "What happens next is beyond your knowledge. Thank you for coming all the way here to see me off. I'm very touched."

Mr. Paper was so angry that he almost broke, but soon, he could no longer feel either anger or resentment.

He was devoured by the paper man.

Not only that, the dropped equipment, no, the dropped paper puppets should have disappeared along with Mr. Paper because he was erased. However, because he was not killed, but swallowed up, or swallowed up by the paper man with the same weird power, his only remaining puppets were taken by the paper man.

Although it is a pity that all the S-grade ones were damaged, there are still many A-grade ones left, and after Mr. Paper's years of accumulation, all of them are high-quality products. Either their strength is very strong and close to S, or their abilities are particularly rare.

"Not bad." The paper man who was also promoted to SS level was very happy. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yixin. Seeing that he was still pale, he snorted and said, "Forget it, next time."

He was still thinking about the fact that his opponent's strength had surpassed his, but considering that the opponent had made so much effort to bring him the "takeout", he decided to postpone the competition.

"Chief, let's go back to Jiuxia Mountain!" Qin Xiaocao circled around Mangtao, "You look so weak, go to sleep, I'll accompany you~~"

After taking two sips of the medicine, Mang Tao, whose wounds were almost healed, said: “Yeah.”

Although he didn't think the remaining physical injuries were a big problem, he still needed to rest. After wandering in the other world for half a year, he was already very exhausted mentally.

It's a good opportunity for me to go back and sort out what happened in this world in the past six months, understand the situation of the trumpet, and test whether the mirror set up by the outside world is useful.

"Let's go back first." Mang Tao looked at the vests, "It's hard for you to come here. If you have nothing else, come back to Jiuxia Mountain to get together. It's a good opportunity to discuss the future."

Just as everyone was about to leave and Mang Tao was about to disband the Evil Domain, Kailet and Utor arrived late. The crow they sent turned into a human form: "I'm here, we can start fighting, where is the enemy?"

Kailett looked around but didn't see any enemies. The skeleton's hands moved awkwardly: "Are we... late?"

They were only a little late, no more than ten minutes.

So fast?

"Let's go to Jiuxia Mountain." Mang Tao said.

Finally realizing that he was late, Utol said in disbelief, "It was resolved so quickly? Is the enemy so weak?"

Mango: ...

He also didn't expect Mr. Paper to be so weak, even though his words were quite harsh.

All I can say is that the damage caused to him by the World Wall is more serious than expected. The so-called life-saving trump card was consumed too much when traveling through time and space.

Regardless, it's a good thing that it's been resolved.

Mang Tao drew a small cross behind the origin of the paper man in his heart. Including Bai Yixin's origin, two had been solved.

As for the remaining ones, it will become easier to deal with them as I gradually become stronger.

connor country.

The green strange area disappeared, leaving behind the once bustling street, but now deserted. All that could be seen were scattered debris on the ground, as well as... bloodstains and corpses.

People went into the building to look for the bodies of the victims. Relatives of the missing cried and called out their loved ones’ names, even though they knew in their hearts that their loved ones could not be rescued. Those who had not come out before had already lost their lives. Those who were still alive, even those with broken legs and unable to move, were gathered together and carried out.

But people always hold on to the last hope, what if, maybe there are fish that slip through the net?

It was difficult for them to accept the reality until they saw the bodies of their loved ones.

"So the mission is accomplished anyway?" Huang Tianzhen sighed as he sat on a stone chair. "It feels like a poor finish."

"It's good that we didn't die in there." Gong Qian said, "You don't know what we encountered."

When he first saw that huge weird face, he even thought he would die in a foreign country.

Fortunately, I came back alive.

He faced powerful monsters twice and escaped death twice because of the light. Shouldn't he believe in the light so that he can escape death again next time?

No, I should pray that I won't encounter any more high-level weirdness.

"The mission is completed, let's go back and report on our duties." Qingtong said, "I feel very tired, I want to take two days off."

Su Sanan: "Very tired? Ah, that's right. We have been carrying out missions recently. Although I didn't exert much effort this time, the mental pressure has not decreased at all. I also want to take a leave to rest."

"I agree. Just give me a week." Han Qi said, raising his hand.

Qingtong thought for a moment and said, "Five days, what do you think? If you have any questions, you can let me know in advance, or you can directly apply for an extension from the Minister of Disaster Affairs."

Huang Tianzhen: “Support.”

Gong Qian said nothing. Although he had just joined the team and could not say that he needed to rest because he had performed too many tasks, he agreed to rest for a few days. He happened to take a trip to the medical department of the headquarters during these few days. The younger generation there was very interested in the parasitic exfoliation surgery he had performed that year. There was a new surgery to be performed there, so he went to help.

"Since everyone agrees, it's settled then."

After saying goodbye to the person in charge of Connor Country, they also said hello to the teams from the other three countries. After they added each other's contact information, the 'Qingtong' team left the team on a plane and headed straight for the headquarters in Beijing.

Si Zai immediately agreed to the team's request for a five-day rest.

"I've told you guys that you need to rest. Even the most powerful people are not made of steel. But you, the captain, are stubborn." Si Zai said, "By the way, the report you submitted said that you saw the member of Deng Huo who had been missing for half a year. Is that right?"

"Um."

"Really? They've appeared again." Si Zai pondered for a long time before shrugging helplessly. "The people over at Jiuxia Mountain also got the news. They said they saw all the members of Denghuo gathering again. It's a coincidence that they also gave our people a holiday. They said it was a holiday, but in fact they just wanted our people to stay away and not disturb them."

Si Zai's mouth curled up: "Besides, it's also five days."

Qingtong looked at him: "Really? What a coincidence."

It's not a coincidence. Although the original body didn't say anything to him through the salvation system, they are all Qingtong and their way of thinking is the same. Five days is a period of time that is neither too long nor too short, and it is the decision he will make.

Si Zai said this, of course, not because he noticed anything, he just thought it was a coincidence and mentioned it casually.

"Have a good rest." Si Zai said.

Qingtong hummed and left the office.

"Qingtong's attitude is always so cold." Si Zai said while playing with the pen in his hand.

He was on a video call with someone on the computer screen. On the other side of the screen, Nong Xiangming pushed up his glasses and said, "So, shall we continue the conversation?"

"Oh well."

"The influence of the Seko Cult in the United States has spread to the upper echelons. The newly appointed deputy commander has a good personal relationship with a priest of the Seko Cult. I think there is a possibility that he is also a believer of the Seko Cult. In addition, in the Silver Country..." Nong Xiangming told the information he had sorted out by his investigation. Seeing Si Zai's increasingly solemn expression, he paused for a moment, "The politics of other countries have nothing to do with us."

"Yes, it originally had nothing to do with us." Si Zai clasped his hands and took a deep breath. "Three of the five major powers are controlled by Denghuo. Apart from us, the only one left is Ross."

Nong Xiangming: "There are more and more believers of the Light in the country of Ross, and the Church of God has been established in the country of Ross."

"Tell me, what exactly do they want to do?" Si Zai pressed his fingers slightly. "Half a year ago, all members of Denghuo held a meeting and did not let our people get close. After that, the leader and Bai Yixin disappeared for a full six months. Now they are back, and the first thing they did was hold a meeting."

The unusual behavior of the lights gave Si Zai a sense of crisis, as if something terrible was about to happen. He could not tell whether the crisis came from the lights or something else.

"Why don't we talk to the leader of Denghuo?" Nong Xiangming said, "We can't stop them anyway."

The members of Denghuo have been saving people all the time. Although some of them have bad attitudes and even capture awakened people to play with, because they catch criminals, they are all good people in the eyes of the larger number of ordinary people.

Or, weird?

The reputation of the lights has always been high.

Public opinion cannot be suppressed, and the power cannot be shocked. Even now, the weird response departments are receiving gifts from the lights.

"Half a year ago, Denghuo traded more and more goods to us, and they were all very cheap. They were almost harmless but extremely valuable items." Nong Xiangming said, "Other strange things are dangerous, but when it comes to Denghuo, maybe you can give him a little trust?"

"…It's not like I haven't thought about it, but I was fooled every time." Si Zai leaned back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling. After a while, he suddenly sat up and said, "Okay, I'll try again."
