NOVEL WEB Chapter 30 - Mysterious Youth
In a dense forest on the outskirts of a certain city, it is said to be a dense forest, but in fact, they are all trunks of trees that have long been withered.
In the depths of this dense forest composed of dead trees, there is a building about ten feet high.
This jet-black building seems to be fused and piled up from pieces of unknown material, like volcanic eruption magma, due to long-term accumulation, forming pieces of jagged rocks.
Judging from the appearance alone, this building definitely does not belong to human civilization.
Inside the building, an extremely handsome young man is sitting at a luxurious dining table, quietly enjoying the food, his movements are extremely elegant.
He carefully cut a piece of golden brown roast beef and sent it to his mouth, then slowly closed his eyes, feeling the juice burst in his mouth.
“It’s so delicious!”
“Thinking about the life a hundred years ago is really a bit nostalgic, this kind of delicious food can be seen everywhere.”
The handsome young man drank a sip of red wine from his glass, swallowed it with the beef, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
Suddenly, a slender figure shrouded in a purple robe, like a ghost, suddenly appeared in the room.
“Zi Ling, how many times have I told you, knock on the door before entering! Why can’t you always remember?” The handsome young man put down the knife and fork in his hand, with a trace of anger flashed on his face.
The figure under the purple robe seemed not to hear the handsome young man’s anger and walked straight to him, leaned down and whispered something in his ear.
“Huh? Failed again?” The handsome young man looked a little surprised, then he slowly got up. His loose white robe, without the restraint of a belt, made him look a little lazy and unrestrained.
“If I remember correctly, this is the second time the plan has failed?” The handsome young man said quietly.
“Yes!”
A cold female voice came from under the purple robe, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have signs of turning cold.
“Do you know why the cleansing plan has never failed in so many years?” The handsome young man said lightly.
“I don’t know!” the woman in purple robe replied, concise and to the point.
The handsome young man didn’t mind woman in purple robe’s cold attitude. Only she dared to speak to him like this in front of him.
“Because every time before the cleansing plan starts, a detailed piece of information will appear on the desk of the [Killer] headquarters.”
“The information records the list, number, and realm of the [Slayer] defenders! Even the birth date is clear.”
“Knowing yourself and your enemy, so you can win every battle.”
The handsome young man’s eyes were fixed on the void, and his face expressionless , “Now the plan has failed twice in a row, there is only one possibility.”
“This city has changed.”
“And this variable, even the [Slayer] headquarters doesn’t know.”
“What kind of variable is it that can make the detection system of the [Slayer] headquarters unable to detect it?”
Then the corner of the handsome young man’s mouth suddenly curled up , the arc became larger and larger, and finally turned into a hearty laugh.
“Hahahaha!”
“I can’t even take down a small border town twice in a row. I guess Dong Lingyun must be furious right ?”
When the woman in purple robe heard the two words ‘Dong Lingyun’ from the handsome young man, a pair of cold eyes hidden under the hooded shirt burst out with a strong killing intent.
“The [Unknown] has already issued a final ultimatum to him. If he cannot capture this city within ten days, he will be thrown into the Netherworld to suffer a hundred days of suffering.”
“Netherworld…” A trace of fear flashed in the handsome young man’s eyes. No one knows the horror of the Netherworld better than him.
“He wants to replace you.” woman in purple robe suddenly said.
“Recently, dozens of countries have fallen into his hands. Some time ago, he even razed an island country in eastern Asia to the ground. The entire island turned into a ruin, and not even a dog was left.”
The handsome young man was surprised and said: “This is not like his style. It stands to reason that if he wants to replace me, he should recruit strong people and consolidate his strength. He should not kill them all.”
Woman in purple robe nodded, “He did do this. Many powerful people in various countries have become his followers and vassals under his coercion and inducement, but the destruction of that island country was because it was too ugly to look at! So he killed them all in a rage, 378,000 kilometers of barren land! No one survived!”
The handsome young man felt it was a bit funny. This was too much of a case of judging people by their appearance.
But it is indeed quite disgusting, so I will just kill him…
It can be regarded as doing a good deed.
“He is now brilliant record in battle, and there are a large number of strong people around him. If you are still unwilling to attack the [Slayer], I am afraid that [Unknown] will lose patience with you soon, and he will naturally take your place.”
Woman in purple’s overly straightforward words made the handsome young man give her a blank look.
Who in the entire [Killer] camp dares to talk to him like this? Even Dong Lingyun in his mouth only dared to engage in small actions behind his back, and he would never dare to speak rudely to him in person.
“Do you want me to kill him?” Woman in purple exuded a strong killing intent.
The handsome young man shook his head and said indifferently: “If you kill him, you will also die!”
“In my eyes, your life is much more valuable than his…”
Woman in purple was silent when he heard the words, but the coldness in his eyes faded a lot.
“But…he is now gradually emptying your power, and many plans are beyond my knowledge!” A trace of worry appeared in Woman in purple’s eyes hidden under the hooded shirt.
“Don’t worry! Even if he takes the whole world into his pocket, he can’t replace me.”
“Even if I never participate in the actions of the [Killer], [Unknown] will not attack me.”
“The reason why I have been able to live until now is because I have other uses.”
“Before the China has not completely fallen into darkness, my life…”
“No one can take it away!”
A trace of loneliness appeared on the handsome young man’s almost perfect face, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he had already reached the door of the building.
Without seeing any of his movements, the heavy and towering door slowly opened…
For more than a hundred years, this is the first time he has stepped out of this cold and dark self-prison!
“Zi Ling!”
“Let’s go for a walk.”
