Chapter 148: Vol2 Ch46: Source Pool

“Tell me, who are the members of your organization, and what are you planning?” Chang Xia wielded his long blade and pressed the sharp tip right against Luo Ping’s forehead.

Everyone could try this themselves, press your own finger or a sharp object against your forehead, you’d feel a strange irritation, a sense of unfounded discomfort.

This feeling of irritation would affect the human psyche, forcing you to subconsciously focus your attention on that sharp object.

Furthermore, due to his right leg being cut off, Luo Ping was suffering constant pain that affected the clarity of his mind.

It’s a simple fact that bodily sensations can affect the mind, and Chang Xia was using this to interrogate his enemy while speaking in a cold voice.

“You think I’m going to tell you?” Luo Ping was sweating bullets, his body trembling, his breathing short and rapid, trying to ease the pain on his right leg.

“Chang Xia, you’re a fool. You cling to your own self-righteous ideals and work for those people, but you will regret it in the end, you will definitely regret it!” Luo Ping mocked him, then actively plunged his head towards Chang Xia’s blade.

However, that obviously failed, with a slight jerk of Chang Xia’s hand, Luo Ping’s attempt at suicide was cut short.

“You’re afraid” Chang Xia had a blank expression on his face, not at all angry from Luo Ping’s words.

“You’re trying to anger me with your words, creating a chance for you to commit suicide while I lost my cool. You are afraid that if this continues, your courage would disappear” Chang Xia spoke with an affirming tone: “This is the same for most suicidal people, they don’t actually want to die, they’re just under the influence of their temporary emotions”

“And humans are such complicated creatures” Chang Xia once again forced his question: “The fact that you’ve attempted to commit suicide once means that the courage that influenced you has already vanished. Now, think a bit about your life and tell me everything you know, with your identity as an Authority Holder, you’ll at least be spared from prosecution if you cooperate”

This was a cliché script that Chang Xia liked to use. When another person informed you of certain ‘facts’ with absolute confidence and seriousness, especially when your life was in their hands, most people would instinctively recognize their words to be true.

Perhaps Luo Ping was exactly like Chang Xia had claimed, his courage and passion was receding. Chang Xia was confirming the righteousness of Luo Ping’s actions through his words, thus lowering the sense of guilt followed by betraying his organization and revealing their plans.

Luo Ping was still clutching his bleeding leg, the constant loss of blood caused him to feel lightheaded, combined with the tip of the blade pressed against his forehead that drew his attention, it could be said that Luo Ping had successfully been hypnotized by Chang Xia.

“I...” just as Luo Ping was about to say something, the sound of a car screeching to a halt resounded from outside.

“Section chief Chang, what are you doing!?” the 7th domain’s section chief Li hurriedly ran from his car, only to see Luo Ping sprawling on the ground with his leg cut off. His face going grim, he loudly shouted: “Are you trying to betray the D.E.R division!?”

“Section chief, Chang Xia is mad...” Luo Ping managed to snap himself out from Chang Xia’s words. At this point, there was no longer any escape for him, some things simply couldn’t be hidden when thoroughly checked. However, [Survivors] was currently enacting the final phase of their revenge, so being able to stop Chang Xia from interfering would be his final contribution to the cause.

Utter fool who always causes more harm than good.

Looking at section chief Li, Chang Xia sighed and cursed in his mind. Things would’ve gone much more swimmingly by knowing the other party’s personnel and plan, but now, not only did he not manage to learn anything, but his sudden assault had instead backfired and roused the enemy’s attention. Furthermore, he had to explain everything to this idiot as well.

Of course, part of the reason for this was due to Chang Xia being in too much of a hurry.

Let’s just hope that they won’t move too quickly.

Chang Xia felt a bad omen. The fact that they actively came into contact with Ye Kong meant that their incubation period was already over, and since it was related to the sensitive region that is Yue Bu, he had no choice but to rush over and act as rash as he did.

From how urgently Luo Ping jumped out to stop me, it could be seen that their plans have gotten to a crucial phase, the only hope now is that I can convince this fool quick enough.

However, as Chang Xia glanced at Luo Ping on the ground once again, he scowled and ducked down to one side and used a piece of ornament rock as a bunker. Just in time for the people who came with section chief Li to raise their guns and open fire.

“Damn it, the 7th domain’s D.E.R division has been infiltrated this badly” Chang Xia squinted his eyes and propped his blade on the ground, using the reflection on the mirror-like edge to observe the situation.

Section chief Li had already fallen to the ground with a bullet hole through the back of his head, clearly dead. Other than section chief Li, there were several more people who were killed by an ambush from their allies, all of a sudden, Chang Xia noticed that over half of the people who came here were on Luo Ping’s side.

“Stall them here, the other side has already begun, if we stop them, we can win!” Luo Ping laughed maniacally.

What a terrible course of events.

Chang Xia signaled to Xiao Ba Fu and Zhang Zi Jie who were hiding on the other side. It was fortunate that he brought his own squad, otherwise if he had hoped to rely on this place’s D.E.R division, that would’ve been tricking himself into his own death.

Chang Xia activated a device on his body, then suddenly started running towards the island in the middle of the lake. This caused him to become the target for [Survivors]’s barrage, but the device on his body had created a layer of Disasforce shielding that completely nullified those bullets.

While Chang Xia drew their attention, Zhang Zi Jie had exercised his Authority to cause cracks to appear beneath the [Survivors] members’ feet, then suddenly broke open to form potholes that swallowed them up.

The gunmen also groaned in pain. They had clearly undergone training and gotten used to the gun recoil, but for some reason, the bones in their gun-holding arms had abruptly fractured with a crack and broke.

Chang Xia completely ignored what happened behind him and hurriedly ran towards the middle island, then swiftly found a secret passage.

...

At another location, Killer J and the fatty were sitting on the stairs of a lecture hall, with people of various professions sitting all around them, including not but limited to housewives, white-collar workers, university students, doctors, workers... so on and so forth.

[Survivors], as their name suggested, consisted of those who survived the Yue Bu earthquake all those years ago. At the start, perhaps they were only a group of survivors who sought sympathy and aid from those in the same circumstances, but as they gained more members who had other motives, this organization’s essence began to change.

As an organization that was built on the foundation of an ideological impression, they had no such thing as a ‘grand ideal’, or a will to conquer the world, they existed simply for vengeance. Or rather, the person who used that ideological impression to take control of this organization only had the goal of vengeance.

Underneath the lecture hall, within a hidden room, a man with a strange appearance who donned a leather jacket was laughing with a slight hint of madness: “That should be enough. The Source Pool has been opened, all we need to do now is to keep up as we have and completely ruin the process of the Apocalypse. Do they really think everything is truly under their control!? I will make them regret what they did, they will definitely regret what they did!”

The leather jacket man declared in his frenzy, he would never forgive it, those people who forced the one he worshipped the most to lose his life just like that, absolutely not!
