Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 355: Chapter 203: They Handed You Over to Me (Supplementary Update on the 18th)

Right now, he doesn’t even know where he is. Being assigned to such a heavyweight task means the forces behind must have great confidence in Mercury’s abilities.

Even if he hasn’t reached Abyss Third Layer, he must be a significant person in Abyss Second Layer. To give him a punch, you’d have to wait until he reaches Abyss Second Layer for a chance.

Wu Chang shook his head, forcibly zeroing out the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Tasks need to be done one by one; mixing them all together only leads to more trouble.

The pressing matter now is to help He Yun escape the shadows and take her out of this space condensed from the Calamity Fog.

He looked at the stone monument in front of him, deciding not to touch it for now, leaving it for He Yun.

Following the sounds of battle, Wu Chang quickly found He Yun. The mecha zombies surrounding He Yun had increased to seven, yet with the strong stats of her custom mecha, He Yun seemed at ease, able to kite the mecha zombies while searching for the Calamity Fog’s node.

Seeing Wu Chang approaching, He Yun sighed and asked, ”Did you get lost and circle back to me, or were you chased by these zombies, bringing me another wave of trouble?”

Wu Chang hid behind the Energy Shield supported by He Yun, waved his hand, and said, ”Neither, I found the node of the Calamity Fog.”

”Great, so why haven’t you destroyed it?” He Yun asked in confusion.

Wu Chang didn’t directly answer but said, ”You know I have some divination skills, right? Although my interpretive ability is a bit lacking, my calculations are accurate, aren’t they?”

He Yun frowned, thinking Wu Chang was bringing up an unlucky topic, but to cooperate with him, she could only say:

”I admit, you’re a bit more accurate than those robot diviners.”

Wu Chang followed up, ”I know divination, then knowing a bit of spirit communication is quite reasonable, right?”

He Yun: ”Reasonable, then what?”

Wu Chang swallowed, feeling a bit nervous, and said, ”I saw the ghost of your former team member at the node of the Calamity Fog, and he told me something. You...”

Bam!

Previously, He Yun had kept from killing, only injuring. But now, she punched a mecha zombie trying to get close, killing it instantly.

”Promise me, don’t joke about them. Even if you’re my friend, even if I need your help right now, you can’t.”

The young He Yun thought Wu Chang was going to bring up a sore topic, unaware he was bringing a cold splash of reality.

Facing He Yun’s angry expression, Wu Chang didn’t back down at all, ”I can take you to see that Calamity Fog node.”

He Yun said expressionlessly, ”Lead the way.”

Under Wu Chang’s lead, the two quickly arrived at the stone monument filled with grievances. Seeing the inscription at the node, He Yun momentarily dazed, and upon seeing the written line, she fell into a long silence.

The inscription was written in blood:

”Boss, don’t get stuck in the past, be bold and punch that ruined temple with an Iron Fist!”

After a long while, until the mecha zombies behind them were about to break the Energy Shield, He Yun finally spoke up:

”Whose ghost did you see?”

Wu Chang replied, ”He said his name is Zhuo Jie.”

”Zhuo Jie.” He Yun softly repeated the name, seemingly reminiscing, then said quietly, ”This line sounds like something he would say. What else did he tell you?”

Wu Chang replied, ”He also told me the reason for the initial failure exploring the Divine Temple, and why most of them died, wasn’t because of something in the temple, but due to internal betrayal. The person who ambushed him was Mercury.”

He Yun gritted her teeth, repeating the name Mercury several times, then raised her head, took off the large-caliber rocket launcher from her mecha’s back, and fired a shot at the distant mecha zombie horde continuously firing.

With the intense shockwave, the world went completely silent.

He Yun turned around, scraped the dried blood off the stone monument with her fingers, looked at the falling scabs and said:

”Although I don’t know where you got this information, this line was written by you, right?”

Wu Chang said, ”I called upon the spirit to possess me, letting it control my body to write.”

He Yun laughed noncommittally and said, ”Aside from these, did he tell you anything else?”

Wu Chang initially wanted to say no, but realizing these two points alone wouldn’t convince He Yun to move on, he steeled himself and said:

”There’s one more thing!”

”What is it?”

Wu Chang spoke with conviction, ”He said he represents the other team members in entrusting you to me.”

He Yun’s expression was slightly dazed; she turned to Wu Chang and asked, ”Can I trust you?”

Wu Chang showed a radiant smile and replied, ”Definitely. Whatever you need to do, I’ll accompany you till the end.”

He Yun closed her eyes, seemingly making some decision.

She took a bit of time, long enough for a new batch of mecha zombies to be ready. As she had shown overwhelming firepower before, this time the amount of mecha zombies dispatched amounted to twenty-four.

That number was exactly equivalent to the remaining members of He Yun’s team, excluding herself and her brother He Yi.

Click.

Twenty-four mecha zombies raised their guns in unison, gun barrels pointed directly at He Yun.

Just as Wu Chang was about to remind He Yun to make up her mind, or they’d have to escape, he saw He Yun open her eyes.

He Yun looked at Wu Chang and said, ”If you’re lying, I’ll take you down to Hell with me.”

Wu Chang immediately shook his head and said, ”That can’t happen, I’m destined for Heaven after I die.”

What a joke, Erin is at least a Power Angel, a prominent presence among Angels, and he’d end up in Hell?
