Chapter 1010: Chapter 786: The Answer
At this moment, in the Darknet’s live stream, under the watchful eyes of all Witnesses...
Huai Shi fell silent.
"Teacher..."
Yuan Yuan unconsciously tightened her grip on the screen, causing cracks.
Behind her, Lin Nineteen had already turned off her phone and stepped outside, unable to continue watching.
Yet more people could hardly wait, eyes wide open, suppressing their amusement and curiosity, waiting for the new Hero to make a choice.
Waiting for the moment of downfall to arrive.
"How do you think he’ll choose?"
Luo Su sat in his chair, resting his chin on his hand, staring at the screen in front of him, and the Phantom behind it.
"How would I know?"
Tong Ji shrugged nonchalantly, unconcerned with the result: "No matter how he chooses, he’s my Contractor. That won’t change, will it?"
"Aren’t you worried he’ll be crushed?"
"Why?" Tong Ji looked over, puzzled: "It’s just a choice that even a kindergarten friend would find boring, nothing to be so torn about, right?"
"Relax, Luo Su." She stated firmly: "This level of decision is just a minor issue for him."
He won’t hesitate, nor will he be afraid.
Won’t be crushed by such interrogation.
Nor will he fall in front of someone like Woodman.
She smiled, full of confidence: "Isn’t that what a Hero is supposed to be?"
.
.
Just like that, on the screens in front of everyone, Huai Shi finally lifted his eyes.
His gaze didn’t linger on Woodman’s Phantom but instead focused on the opponent in front of him: "Is what he said true, God City?"
God City Future did not speak, merely looked at him mockingly.
"Answer me, God City Future—"
Huai Shi asked, pausing between each word: "After killing you, the cells of the Eternal Beast will completely lose control. Is this true?"
No anger, no threats, just solemn and earnest verification, questioning his enemy, not allowing him to evade answering!
"Of course, Huai Shi."
God City Future finally spoke, sneering: "Did you expect to hear something different from my mouth? Did you think I’d tell you that what he said was false, to make you feel right about slaughtering?"
"...I see."
In the long silence, Huai Shi exhaled, looking at him, unable to suppress a relieved smile: "That is really great."
Woodman’s smile froze for a moment, unable to speak, as the Blade of Resent sliced through, severing his Phantom.
Revealing those determined eyes.
And his smile.
In front of the screen, Xuan Niao took off his glasses in surprise.
Not just him, at this moment, everyone waiting for the result in front of the screen witnessed that genuine, unmasked joyful expression.
God City Future stood frozen on the spot.
He wanted to speak, but Huai Shi stepped forward step by step, the Blade of Resent in his hand wailing, performing a Thrust Attack, piercing through his mouth, driving through his spine, pinning him against the crumbling wall.
Unable to make a sound—
"If so, reverse the condition; it should also hold true, right?"
Huai Shi stared into his trembling eyes, asking word by word: "If you die and all the cells of the Eternal Beast lose control... then, through you, it’s also possible to contain all the virus of the marsh disease, right?"
God City Future struggled to scream, his lips opening and closing, but his shredded tongue couldn’t make a sound.
In the end, he squeezed out a grim smile.
Cold and mocking.
Too naive, Huai Shi, did you think I would cooperate?
"No, I don’t need your cooperation."
As if knowing what he was going to ask, Huai Shi softly replied, "If you insist on a carrier, isn’t there another right in front of you?"
At that moment, God City Future’s smile fell into stagnation.
Right before his eyes.
—The Great Priestess revealed a smile.
"I am the Great Priestess recognized by the Tanbo Inner Circle, right?" he said, "Isn’t it only natural for me to bear all this?"
No more violence.
Such calm and reassuring thing, like a burden lifted.
Never hesitated, nor did he ever truly ponder between the two choices. From the start, he didn’t intend to make any choices.
Compared to the entire world, compared to hundreds of thousands of people, isn’t there a smaller unit?
Eliminate poison, eradicate misfortune.
Isn’t this precisely the Sky’s Command of the Great Priestess?
For a moment, Huai Shi felt an incomparable sense of relief and ease, a joy beyond words.
This is the purpose of coming here.
Yet that expression made God City Future gradually stagnant, as if seeing some indescribable monster grinning viciously in front of him.
From the searing pain of the Sword Blade slashing, God City Future roared, reaching out as if he wanted to grab something.
But immediately, two sharp Long Nails manifested between Huai Shi’s fingers, pinning his hands to the wall, not allowing any resistance or struggle.
And so, Huai Shi lowered his head, gazing down at the face so close at hand.
"To be honest, I’ve never thought of myself as any Hero, nor remarkable. At most... I’ve just been recklessly following my own thoughts.
However, now I feel, I’m really quite badass."
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, God City."
He said, "Thank you."
