Zhan Shen: It’s Just a Sacrifice, How Can I Become a Villain?

90: The long-awaited fifth card!Within the No-Precepts-Domain, the Night Watcher of the logistics department was clearing the battlefield.

Yuan Gang and Chen Muye had already met, and both sides exchanged intelligence.

The Sea Realm who attacked Bai Li Pang Pang had already been killed by Yuan Gang.

”In other words, the Ancient God Church’s agents this time were Medusa’s agent, the Snake Woman, and three believers. Now, except for the Snake Woman who was rescued by Song Zhong, all other personnel have been apprehended and executed.”

This was originally a good outcome, even a beautiful victory.

However, due to Song Zhong’s appearance, everyone didn’t feel much joy of victory.

Seeing everyone’s spirits were a bit low, Yuan Gang said, ”No matter what, we have managed to thwart the Ancient God Church’s conspiracy this time, and many excellent seeds have emerged among the new recruits, especially Lin Qi Ye!”

Yuan Gang looked at these young new recruits with satisfaction.

”I will apply to the higher-ups to award you medals.”

”Medals?” Lin Qi Ye looked at Chen Muye in confusion.

Chen Muye briefly explained to Lin Qi Ye that, simply put, the Night Watcher internal system has four Ranks of medals based on individual contributions, from smallest to largest: Spark, Starlight, Star, and Sea of Stars Medals.

Yuan Gang looked at everyone, ”Everyone worked hard tonight, especially these new recruits. Go back and get some good rest.”

Soon after, a bus arrived at the scene and took the others away.

Only the busy logistics department, Yuan Gang, and Chen Muye remained.

”Captain Chen, what do you think of tonight’s events?” Yuan Gang offered Chen Muye a cigarette.

Chen Muye, of course, knew Yuan Gang was referring to Song Zhong’s matter.

”I don’t quite understand. First, he killed the Ancient God Church’s mole embedded among the instructors, then he rescued the Snake Woman. His actions changed too much back and forth.”

Chen Muye slowly exhaled smoke, ”Moreover, with his ability, he could have taken Han Shaoyun away as well, so why did he only save the Snake Woman?”

”Perhaps the Snake Woman is more important?” Yuan Gang guessed.

Chen Muye shook his head, ”I don’t know. Although this Song Zhong was strange before, at least he hadn’t done anything too outrageous.”

He flicked the ash from his cigarette, ”But this rescue of the Snake Woman has crossed the line.”

Yuan Gang nodded. The Ancient God Church was a group of fanatics who worshipped evil gods, and their only goal was to destroy the world.

This was something the Night Watcher absolutely would not allow.

”Let the higher-ups decide on this matter. It’s useless for just the two of us to analyze it here,” Yuan Gang said helplessly.

Chen Muye nodded. He also had no solution. He would see if he could contact Song Zhong afterwards and ask him what exactly happened.

The logistics department had finished clearing the ground, and the No-Precepts-Domain was lifted.

Yuan Gang looked at Chen Muye, ”We’ll communicate about other matters later. There’s still something at the Training Camp, so I’ll head back.”

Chen Muye gave a wry smile, ”This is probably the most headache-inducing Training Camp ever.”

”Yes, I wonder if it’s my bad luck this year. Unexpected situations are truly one after another. See you again.”

After Yuan Gang left, Chen Muye also set off to return to the Peacekeeping Bureau.

On a nearby street, a Mazda slowly pulled over to the side.

Inside the car window was a man in casual clothes.

He looked at the logistics department personnel dressed in janitor uniforms and sighed, ”It’s over, I seem to be late.”

The person who arrived was He Lin, the ninth seat of the believers, the backup arranged by Whisper for the Snake Woman.

After receiving the order, He Lin drove non-stop to Cangnan City, but unfortunately, traffic jams and driving a Mazda caused some delays.

By the time he arrived, the Night Watcher’s logistics department had already begun clearing the scene.

Through the conversations of those people, he also knew that everyone except the Snake Woman had died.

He Lin sat awkwardly in the car, ”If I go back empty-handed, it doesn’t seem right. I still need to give an explanation to Lord Whisper.”

He glanced at the logistics personnel and saw that they were loading Han Shaoyun’s body onto a vehicle.

He Lin’s eyes lit up. He would take Han Shaoyun’s body back. At least it would prove that he had been to the battlefield, and that he was simply powerless.

When the logistics department personnel began to withdraw, He Lin also started his car and followed behind their convoy.

Just as the convoy passed an abandoned factory, He Lin took out a black box from his bag.

Inside was the forbidden item [Nightmare] that Lord Whisper had lent him.

Its effect was to create a large-scale illusion, which could conceal one’s actions.

He Lin infused Mental Energy into it, and an invisible energy spread out, directly enveloping all the logistics department’s vehicles.

The drivers seemed numb, mechanically stopping their vehicles by the roadside and then falling into a nightmare.

He Lin got out of the car, opened the refrigerated van, and took out the body bag containing Han Shaoyun’s body.

”Han Shaoyun, Han Shaoyun, this is all I can do. Don’t blame me for being late.”

After confirming the body, He Lin intended to put Han Shaoyun’s body into the trunk.

But just as he was about to open the trunk, he suddenly felt a gust of Yin Wind.

”Hmm?”

Years of combat experience had trained him to be vigilant. He looked back, and ”Snake Woman” was standing behind him.

”Young Miss Snake Woman?” He Lin asked in confusion, ”Didn’t you escape?”

”Give me Han Shaoyun’s body, I need it!”

”Alright, then do you want to return to the Ancient God Church with me?” He Lin handed the body to ”Snake Woman.”

”You go back first, I still have something to do.” With that, the Snake Woman, carrying Han Shaoyun’s body, transformed into specks of light and vanished from the spot.

He Lin shook his head. When did this crazy woman become so easy to talk to? She didn’t even ask why he was late. Moreover, it seemed she had awakened a new ability.

...

The real Snake Woman, after confirming that Song Zhong had left, struggled to get up.

She had to find a way to return to the Ancient God Church quickly. She would do everything she could to increase her strength and then kill this man.

Since becoming a God’s Proxy, when had the Snake Woman ever suffered such humiliation?

She had always been the one to torture and kill others, but today, her eyes were gouged out by someone, and she couldn’t even resist.

”I’ll skin you and make a lantern out of it, to accompany me every night!”

”I’ll pull out your tendons and make a necklace to wear around my neck!”

”I want your Soul to suffer endless torment, never to be reborn!”

The Snake Woman had already conceived a hundred ways to torment Song Zhong in her mind. She wanted to bestow upon him the most malicious Curse in the world.

As the Snake Woman continuously cursed, the wound on her left eye slowly began to heal, while her right eye, surprisingly, began to change.

Her right eye had completely turned grayish-white.

”This is...Medusa’s Blessing!”

The Snake Woman was both surprised and delighted. Medusa’s Origin power belonged to the Realm of Curses. The Snake Woman’s venomous hatred and Curses towards Song Zhong had actually triggered the evolution of her right eye.

And her Realm had also quietly undergone a Breakthrough...

”Phew!”

The Snake Woman let out a long breath, looking at her reborn self. She picked up the eye patch on the ground and put it over her left eye.

”I’m starting to look forward to our next encounter.”

The Snake Woman jumped into the underground river, transforming into a giant python, and left Cangnan City.
