Netherworld Retrograde

22: Chapter 11 Code Name_2 22: Chapter 11 Code Name_2 It was just like a video game, where no matter how many times the characters inside died, the players in the real world remained unharmed.

Instead, through each death of their characters, they eliminated the forces within the level.

At the same time, they absorbed experience, becoming more skillful and more powerful!

This was a completely unequal confrontation!

“Fortunately, aside from those Calamity Forbidden Zones that are entrenched in the wilderness, other Void Realm Creatures basically have a hard time coming into the Physical World,” Cheese said, “Of course, that’s assuming no humans are helping them…”

Li Yelai suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He discovered a possibility.

After he had dealt with Black Shadow, he had obtained the power of Wanxiang Wumian, and the Skin Stripping he had killed was offered up as a sacrifice to Black Shadow.

Now, if he killed a Void Realm Creature, did that mean this Void Realm Creature would also be sacrificed to Black Shadow?

In such a case, could the Void Realm Creature still survive?

If not, this meant that Li Yelai actually had the ability to completely eradicate Void Realm Creatures!

However, this would have to be confirmed during his next dream.

Maybe Black Shadow was picky and didn’t eat Void Realm Creatures…

Afterward, Cheese said, “I had intended to train your Spiritual Ability Technique, but I didn’t expect you to learn so quickly.

I’m sure by tomorrow, your code name will be issued.”

Li Yelai’s eerie learning capability allowed him to master the Spiritual Barrier and Aerial Stepping within a single day.

It was enough to qualify him as a Processor.

But his terrifyingly strong Talent alarmed the entire upper echelon.

Because of that, the higher-ups had informed Cheese not to reveal Li Yelai’s Talent.

Mastering two techniques at once was simply too horrifying.

And while mastering two techniques in a single day was shocking enough, it also served as a form of protection for Li Yelai.

Cheese wholeheartedly agreed with this and said, “And you’ll soon receive the bonus and Merit Points for killing the Void Realm Creature.”

Li Yelai nodded and then picked up the Crimson Long Sword in his hand.

Cheese glanced at it and said, “This is your spoils of war.

After it’s registered, you can deal with it as you please.

You can either sell it to the Equipment Department in exchange for Merit Points or use it yourself.

Just try not to let it be discovered by the outside world.”

Discovered?

Li Yelai silently looked at the large sword that was as tall as a person, with a blade and hilt each half a person’s height, and the blade adorned with several eyeballs.

How could such an object be concealed?

Li Yelai actually wanted to keep the Crimson Long Sword; after all, it was a piece of Spiritual Ability Equipment and felt good in his hands, significantly enhancing his own abilities.

If he encountered danger, he wouldn’t have to be so passive.

But…

he couldn’t just patrol around wielding this sword, right?

“You can also let the branch keep it, and they will deliver the weapon to you before you go on missions.

Of course, this means if an emergency occurs, you might not have time to wait for your weapon.

Therefore, it’s best to get a concealable weapon or firearm from the Preparation Department,” Cheese suggested.

Li Yelai nodded but then sighed as he looked at the sealed-off streets.

Cheese found it strange, but quickly realized, “Right, your curse has triggered again.

You can’t be walking on the streets right now.”

From the previous battle, Cheese gained a deeper understanding of Li Yelai’s curse.

It was a kind of fated, causal curse, where everything around seemed to be emitting malice towards Li Yelai.

What would typically be considered a rare accident became a certainty when the curse was triggered.

For example, if Cheese stepped on the sewer manhole cover in front of them, there would be no issue.

But when cursed Li Yelai stepped on it, the cover would likely become problematic.

Whether it would shatter or suddenly flip over, every kind of ‘accident’ was possible.

If Li Yelai had faced the Void Realm Creature on the streets, they probably would have been hit by several dozen parked cars in a row, Cheese thought.

Perhaps Li Yelai’s encounter with the Skin Stripping was also related to his Calamity.

“You need to strengthen yourself; your Calamity is too terrible,” Cheese remarked with some emotion.

Li Yelai nodded in agreement.

That was the reason he had agreed to join Yang Chen’s team.

“By the way, what teams will Starfire and the others be allocated to after today?

Will they be our teammates?” Li Yelai inquired.

After today’s events, they could be considered comrades-in-arms.

Cheese replied, “The Detective plans to join the logistics team, which is Team Six.

After going through this battle, he realized that he’s really not cut out for combat.

As for Shadow Stream, she plans to continue following her brother Starfire.

Starfire…

Well, let’s see after he gets his arm reattached.

He actually performed well, whether facing the eerie woman or the Void Realm Creature, he played a role.

But alas, he encountered a special enemy.

I hope it doesn’t affect his confidence.

As for Heavy Knight, she’s a talented and strong girl.

Similar to you, half a month ago, she faced a Sufferer.

In the heat of the moment, she Awakened as a True Martial Spiritual Ability User and tore apart the Sufferer.

In terms of power, she’s the strongest among the newcomers.

If it came to a one-on-one fight, she might not be weaker than you.

She joined Team Three.”

“Which team are we?” Li Yelai asked in surprise.

Indeed, even on his second day as a Processor, he didn’t know which team he belonged to.

“Actually, you’ll find out tomorrow.

We are Boundary City’s Disaster Processing Department, Team One!” Cheese said with a calm smile, “Once…

we were the aces, the team known as Champions.”
