Chapter 217: Scorned by the Guardian
As the spaceship under him was driven, Wu Xuan quickly visited the bases where every companion was imprisoned, and finally took away those who were regarded as the source of the disaster.
There was a certain degree of numbness on everyone's face, as if they no longer cared about the world, as if they had lost the desire to explore themselves.
Wu Xuan knew... it was too late. Even if the ten remaining knife-wielding men continued to live together, they would not be able to stop the spread of "nothingness".
"Hey……"
Wu Xuan sighed silently. He now understood that this was his fate.
He had to kill his companions with his own hands again and again, and say words like "Rest in peace" over and over again. He was really tired.
Just thinking about these things gave him a headache. This was really... disgusting.
Wu Xuan was thinking about future plans, and the spaceship full of "knife-wielding men" had already arrived in front of a new hut.
And here is the final place where these ten "knife-wielding men" can survive.
"We are here, Mr. Wu Xuan. As you said, the higher-ups have arranged this place for you. I hope you can keep your promise."
Hearing this, Wu Xuan nodded as a matter of course.
"Of course, I... or we, are not like you who like to go back on your words. We have no interest, and certainly no time, in breaking the contract with you."
The director of the Security Department nodded slightly when he heard this. He didn't feel any particular sense of involvement in this.
After all, he was just a man following orders, and he did not consider himself to be the one who directly harmed these "knife-wielding men".
But it is precisely in this situation...People who keep silent and use excuses such as "the boss's order" or "everyone around me thinks so" to harm others are not good people either.
Wu Xuan knew this very well, so he didn't say much to the man. It was meaningless to say anything now. All he could do now was... to rescue as many people as possible.
Thinking of this, Wu Xuan cast his gaze towards Huang Quan who was sitting behind him. Their eyes intertwined and they reached a consensus in an instant.
——First, settle these "knife-wielding men" who are sitting in a twisted manner in the back half of the spacecraft into the cabins one by one before talking about other things.
……
After Wu Xuan and Huang Quan settled the remaining eight people, they sat down in the hall without any prior arrangement. They just looked at each other quietly without saying a word.
"What deal did you make with them?"
Huang Quan asked straight to the point.
Wu Xuan picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "Nothing, just helping them deal with Tian Chang Li Zun."
Huang Quan fell silent after hearing this, and after a while he said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Xuan looked at the woman in front of him with surprise and shook his head slightly.
"What's there to thank for? Just be more righteous... I'm your "boss", so I need to take good care of you."
"To put it more personally, it's for self-protection, that's all."
Wu Xuan’s calmness made Huang Quan a little... dazed.
To be honest, Huang Quan didn't expect Wu Xuan to be so calm, as if he had no guard against her at all.
Wu Xuan glanced at Huang Quan, who was looking down in deep thought, and shook his head gently.
"Huang Quan, if I were to be wary of you... then the three Amber Ages we have spent together would have been wasted."
"By the way, do you want some crepes? I'll go get you two?"
Wu Xuan's thoughts were so fast that Huang Quan couldn't react for a while. He just nodded slightly.
As for why he went out to buy it instead of making it himself...it was because the kitchen here still needed Wu Xuan to clean up.
Just like that, Wu Xuan stood up and left the wooden house quite naturally, leaving Huang Quan alone in the wooden house in a daze.
"I forgot to ask him about the 'void'..."
A hint of regret flashed across Huang Quan's delicate face, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with his dazed state just now.
However, she soon got rid of this state. She yawned lightly and stood up to go back to her room to rest.
Like other "knife-wielding people", she had been nervous for quite a long time, and what she needed most now was rest.
"By the way...where is my room?"
Huang Quan looked at the long corridor and numerous wooden doors in front of him and fell into deep thought.
She seemed... lost again.
……
Just when Huang Quan got lost in his home, Wu Xuan had already arrived on the street.
Looking at the endless stream of cars and the busy streets, Wu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
To be honest, these "knife-wielding men" have struggled for so long... but in the end, even the qualification to live a peaceful life needs to be obtained through transactions.
This is really unreasonable.
But this is the reality. Only the scenes in dreams make sense, while reality... doesn't need any reason.
Wu Xuan thought so and sighed slightly, then walked towards the crepe shop not far away.
During this long period of time, he and Huang Quan had visited at least eight hundred crepe shops, and he had no obvious feeling about the changes of the times.
All he cares about is the lives of people with knives and... which crepes are the best.
After a while, Wu Xuan walked out of the shop with two crepes, and at this time, he finally received the next main task.
[Main Quest (4/7) "Scorned by the Protected"]
[Mission Description: When the hero who protects the world turns into an evil dragon, people will not remember him just because he was once a hero, but will point their butcher knives at people who are similar to the hero, because in their eyes... these people are evil dragons]
[Quest Reward: "Confession" x1]
[Mission Penalty: Simulation Ends]
["Confession": A white men's corsage, the power contained in it can temporarily clear a person's negative state]
Wu Xuan looked at the light screen that appeared in front of him with great surprise, and for a moment he felt it was a little... weird.
He now understood one thing - any reward given by a mission would be used in the future, which meant that he would have to use this thing to do something in the future.
"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. I'm a little too busy right now."
Wu Xuan shook his head gently, then looked around. When he found that no one was paying attention to him, he turned off the light curtain in front of him.
However...almost the next second after he turned off the light curtain, he heard a conversation that surprised him a little.
"Eh? Where are those 'knife-wielding men'? I haven't heard from them in a long time." asked a high school girl.
"Hey, don't you know? Those people are actually those monsters!"
