"Sir! Can you hear me!?"
No matter what they said, the man wearing the shattered mask seemed to be immersed in his own world, standing motionless.
Something's not right!
"gentlemen!?"
They exchanged glances, and the soldier standing at the back silently made a concealed gesture towards the camera in the corner.
(Something's wrong, please provide backup!)
Although such situations are rare, their duty here is to deal with them.
With the advancement of magical technology, teleportation arrays are now virtually safe. While comfort during long-distance teleportation remains an issue, it is now possible to ensure that no accidents occur during the teleportation process.
However, while the teleportation array is safe, the people who are teleported through it are not necessarily safe.
The emergence of awakened individuals who have gone out of control due to pollution has always been a major problem that humanity has to face.
Every awakened individual who has fought against supernatural beings must undergo rigorous checks upon returning to the human settlement; only those who pass the required tests are allowed to proceed.
but!
Such a procedure cannot eliminate dangerous targets 100% of the time; there will always be some that slip through the net.
Some of the contaminated awakened individuals do not show any signs of it immediately. They appear perfectly normal on the outside, but they are like dangerous bombs, with the risk of exploding out of control.
They hide among the crowd, becoming time bombs for others.
Fortunately, with the introduction of a special monitoring device developed by the Silver Council 150 years ago, monitoring out-of-control Awakeners has become much easier and more efficient, and now very few escape.
Conversely, this also makes each of these out-of-control awakened individuals who successfully evade detection more dangerous than the last.
Guh.
Swallowing hard, the soldiers continued their questioning as they slowly approached the man.
...
The man whom the soldiers were wary of—Ning Feng—stood on the teleportation array, his brows furrowed.
He heard the shouts, but he paid no attention to them; he was thinking.
Although I've left the City of Watchers and my conversation with the Stargazer is almost over, and I've learned quite a few secrets, but...
What is this sense of unease?
There's a strange feeling in my heart, the kind of awkwardness that comes from neglecting something important.
What exactly have I forgotten?
But the more Ning Feng thought about it, the deeper his brows furrowed, because he couldn't find anything amiss.
Things that shouldn't be asked have been selectively avoided, and those that could be asked have been answered.
But where exactly did things go wrong?
"gentlemen!"
Ning Feng: ?
Finally, he heard the powerful shouts in his ears. Ning Feng looked up in confusion and saw a group of soldiers who were clearly on high alert.
Um?
Are you calling me?
Why did you call me?
oh--
Ning Feng raised an eyebrow beneath the mask and quickly realized the reason.
He was so engrossed in his own world that he didn't pay attention to what was happening around him.
The soldiers visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ning Feng's reply, and the leading soldier captain asked:
"A question! Do you remember who you are?"
As long as they still have self-awareness, the situation isn't too bad. The rest depends on how far things have spiraled out of control.
"Me? Of course I remember! Wait a minute! I didn't lose control, I was just thinking about something..."
Ning Feng shook his head and reached into his inner pocket, where he found the badge that proved his current identity.
Although Mephistopheles is using a false identity, he has a complete background and upbringing, and is currently a member of the Inquisition who carries out special missions.
but……
Clang!
"Don't move! Put your hands down!"
"Um?"
? ? ?
But the moment Ning Feng raised his hand, he realized that he was being locked onto by five dangerous auras.
The three soldiers in front of him were not the main source of danger; rather, the five auras pointed out from different corners of the teleportation array hall.
"Sir! Please answer my question first!"
Seeing the three tense soldiers, Ning Feng helplessly lowered his hand, shrugged, and said:
"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to attack you, I wouldn't even need to raise my hand."
Although surrounded by three awakened beings of the same level, Ning Feng, who was also at the third level, did not sense any threat whatsoever.
The gap in strength is too huge.
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly mentally sound..."
Ning Feng suddenly stiffened halfway through his sentence.
"……Um?"
Seeing Ning Feng standing there with a serious expression, and the aura emanating from him becoming increasingly dangerous, the guards gradually became tense.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).
wrong!
No, no, no...
As if lightning had ripped through the night sky, Ning Feng's confusion suddenly vanished.
"So that's how it is!"
My thinking has been wrong all along!
"I may not have overlooked anything... but rather I have a problem with my mental state."
right!
"My mind or perception has been distorted!"
Without having time to explain to the soldiers, Ning Feng immediately began to examine himself.
boom!
A silvery-white light shone around his body, pushing away the approaching soldiers.
"Buzz—Warning! Buzz—Warning!"
The alarm sounded as the soldiers were pushed aside, but Ning Feng paid no attention and exerted all his strength to unleash the power of the Judgment Angel.
