Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 905: Chapter 427: Confrontation (Part 2)

“Be rational, I’m speaking of possibilities!”

“Rational? Your dear friends aren’t inside! So you can speak calmly!”

“Your words are truly harsh… If this operation results in significant losses for us, making it impossible to prevent the passage from opening, and the spread of the Heartless Fruit, is that also acceptable?”

“We’ve already lost the chance for rescue; what we must do is completely seal off the Heartless Fruit…”

“Seal it off… hahaha… Then let’s massacre the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Lake! Only then can we completely seal off the Heartless Fruit!”

“If you’re even hesitant about that, what else can you discuss about humanity? You might as well rescue your companions first!”

“You coward, if you don’t dare, then just stay in the mountains!”

“You!”

Several Ye Boshou were at loggerheads, under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, they even ignited real flames.

“Enough!” Moon Shadow sighed: “If you erupt into battle here, let alone rescue, our very existence will be exposed.”

This is the danger of the Heartless Fruit. Just a few exchanges can ignite the fury of many comrades.

“You’ve all been parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, communication between you is no longer rational.” Moon Shadow said quietly: “Perhaps, bringing you here was a mistake.”

Everyone fell silent, parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, they were too prone to conflict. Even though they were veterans of countless dangerous battlefields, they could be easily triggered at this moment.

“Night General… as the Champion Agent and the only uninfested sapling. Share your views….” Moon Shadow said.

“Night General Captain… we’re not very familiar, but please understand us.” One of the previously speaking Ye Boshou said, looking exhausted and haggard: “If your friends were captured… suffering unimaginable malice…. please understand.”

“I know… I understand…” Li Yelai said softly.

If friends were captured, Li Yelai would be more irritable than them.

“I understand your thoughts, there’s no right or wrong. However, since we have Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, we do indeed have ample power.” Li Yelai responded: “My personal view is, don’t give up on your companions…”

“We follow the Champion Agent’s orders.” Several Ye Boshou spoke.

“Hmm, very well.” Moon Shadow said: “In that case, let’s arrange the rescue operation.”

“The plan is simple. A feigned attack to draw attention… We will launch a large-scale feigned attack at the City Lord Mansion of the target state. Thus diverting most of the elites’ attention. The other teams will immediately take down the target dungeon. Leave with companions…”

“The rest is just details…”

“Consider the possible appearance of the Jile Sect’s legion and elites.”

“Consider whether the indigenous overlord of this space has already sided with Jile.”

Moon Shadow might seem unreliable and irritating, but being at Captain Level, he possesses ample command experience and, after consulting with Ye Boshou, quickly finalized the plan.

But within the plan, there was no task for Li Yelai.

“You excluded me?” Li Yelai frowned: “Used and thrown away, huh? Truly heartless!”

Using Li Yelai to stabilize the conflict and then kicking Li Yelai aside… truly heartless…

“You haven’t been parasitized, so it’s best not to be parasitized. Night General, you should leave Ten Thousand Dragon Lake…” Moon Shadow said.

Privately, Moon Shadow and Yang Chen were good brothers, and Li Yelai was Yang Chen’s successor.

For the public, in this Ten Thousand Dragon Lake operation, Champion Team One’s elite warriors have all been parasitized. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, they cannot return to the human world.

He’s got to leave behind the sole sapling of Champion Team One.

Otherwise, Champion Team One might really become a part of history.

“I know your concerns…. Although I can’t kill the Host of the Heartless Fruit, I still serve a purpose. My ‘You Must Meet Strong Enemies’ can help draw away a lot of trouble. Also, one of the conditions for Heartless Fruit parasitism is to kill the host.” Li Yelai said: “So I just need to control my power, avoid instantly killing the enemy, wound strong enemies heavily, and let my comrades finish them off…”

“It’s definitely a method, but very risky.” Moon Shadow raised an eyebrow: “Facing a Champion Agent, even the Jile believers, even if sacrificing themselves, would strive to parasitize you with the Heartless Fruit.”

“I know, but I can bear that risk.” Li Yelai said: “If I can’t bear even this, how could I carry the title of Champion Agent?”

Moon Shadow looked calmly at Li Yelai, then smiled: “Very well!”

“Then let our Xuanjia Group clean up the mess for the Champion Agent.” You Yun said. Liu Yun had crossed into Sixth Sense Strength half a month ago, even if several Sixth-sense Experts were drawn in, Li Yelai had confidence to take them down.

“Back then, the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, crushed Dou Jiande’s 100,000 army with 3,000 Black Armor Army, the legend of Hu Lao Pass!” Moon Shadow chuckled: “You’re also a Li, bring the Xuanjia Group to reclaim his glory!”

“Naturally!”

After confirming the operational details again, Li Yelai and Liu Yun determined the meeting point, then departed.

Under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, various emotions would be amplified and twisted.

In such a short time, Li Yelai felt the strongly suppressed emotions. Not able to linger longer, it’s better to disperse separately.

Actually, it was because Li Yelai was acting together with Cheese.

Cheese was a pretty girl, which stirred a bit of envy, and under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, envy turned into jealousy, solidified into resentment.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Heartless Fruit…

“The Champion Agent already has a Toy Captain, yet is so close with Cheese. It’s too inappropriate.” After Li Yelai and others retreated, someone spoke: “Cheese too… Night General has already been claimed, yet she…”

“He hasn’t been parasitized, which is the best proof. Let’s ask everyone here, when a girl as beautiful as this is parasitized by the Heartless Fruit and in solitude, what will you be tempted to do?” Liu Yun said: “She, like us, has been parasitized, regardless of life or death, cannot leave Ten Thousand Dragon Lake… at least let her… have no regrets.”

“So-called no regrets… is it stealing a man? You’re speaking for Cheese because she’s part of your team, aren’t you?” A Fifth Team expert spoke: “Did you consider the Toy Captain?”

Fifth Team Captain Cang Bai was close with Doll, naturally supporting Doll.

“Oh? Stealing?” A Champion Team One expert spoke: “Cheese’s thoughts towards Night General, who doesn’t know? The girls from the adjacent division all gave up pursuing Night General after seeing Cheese. If Cheese wasn’t around, where even would Doll stand a chance? It’s just that our captain doesn’t respond well. If you’re talking about stealing, it’s Doll who stole home. She’s the thief!”

The members of Champion Team One had participated in hunting the Black Umbrella.

They had witnessed Li Yelai and Cheese watching over each other. One trusts the other won’t be corrupted, one shoulders the identity of a traitor to solve the other’s problems.

Naturally, they supported Cheese more. In their view, Cheese and Night General were meant for each other.

“Hedging, deserving to be robbed of home.” A Fifth Team expert frowned: “I acknowledge Cheese is rational, but this can’t be blamed on Doll. It comes down to first in, first served.”

“Doll is because Night General ignores curses, Cheese has no such schemes. You don’t even know what they endured.”

“Ha, even now there’s the Cheese Party? Ignoring curses, there’s also that scoundrel Ye Han. That’s no excuse! You don’t know what they endured either!”

Both sides kept speaking up, anger surged once more. The Heartless Fruit provoked their fury from an unexpected angle.

“Fine, fine. Let’s all disperse. We’re faced with this situation, still listening to you Cheese Party and Toy Party bickering? We’re knee-deep in trouble!” Moon Shadow interrupted their dialogue.

“It’s impending doom!” someone added.

“Same thing…” Moon Shadow shrugged: “Honestly, what I want more is for us all to make it out alive, then watch Cheese and Doll spill blood…”

“Moon Shadow Captain, such a person loves drama, you’ll probably survive to the end.”

After this interruption, both sides calmed down, each leaving to prepare for tomorrow’s actions.
