Chapter 404: Chapter 319: Absorbing Individual_1

The local forces really should not be underestimated; in higher environments they might seem constrained, but in lower ones, as long as there’s an opportunity to perform, the efficiency surges rapidly upward. It was only after the number of energy flow directions decreased to eight that some abnormal reactions appeared.

That is, after one disappeared, another reappeared. By this time, Zheng Yichen already knew the reason. Ahn Longling had also dealt with two split-off mental parasite monsters; one was genuinely killed off—quite a special creature, but it got blasted into nothingness under heavy fire.

The other was dealt with by means similar to sealing; that split-off mental parasite monster was isolated inside a specially made container.

After learning this information, Zheng Yichen understood what was happening. The energy flows that disappeared and then appeared were from the individual that was completely annihilated and split off anew, while those that disappeared without reappearing were due to some split off individuals not being killed, but rather sealed away.

Different handling methods led to different outcomes.

Zheng Yichen shared his thoughts with Ahn Longling, who indicated that she would provide him with some sealing devices for support.

"...I don’t need that kind of stuff."

"But to reduce the targets, you need that kind of thing for better positioning, and the Ahn family will be responsible for the recovery."

"Tch, I just hope your side doesn’t stir up some big trouble in the future."

Maintaining communication, Ahn Longling smiled as she watched a sealed container being loaded onto a truck: "If that day comes, we sisters might have to rely on you."

"I hope not; by then, we’re more likely to be enemies," Zheng Yichen quickly said. If the Ahn family really stirred up something big, and if it had to do with the fundamentals of this world, he didn’t trust that Dusk wouldn’t just hand him a mission to wipe them out.

After all, he was a local Proxy Agent. Why not use him? Proxy Agents are more efficient than Dusk mercenaries, and they don’t even require a middleman; direct assignment was sufficient. As for those Dusk mercenaries, who knows? Some might even have deeper, unspeakable dealings with the Ahn family.

They could directly leave the ranks of the Dusk mercenaries, but Zheng Yichen couldn’t just stop being a Proxy Agent; by role, he was more reliable.

Zheng Yichen never doubted the human race’s ability to court disaster.

"I understand," Ahn Longling didn’t continue the topic. Zheng Yichen spoke as if he were joking, but she could discern the serious attitude behind his words, and it’s no wonder that the Ahn family, knowing Zheng Yichen was a Proxy Agent, didn’t take the matter as seriously as she and her sisters had imagined.

Although their concern was very high, it wasn’t as high as they had estimated.

Proxy Agents might become enemies... But judging by the Ahn family’s attitude of not the highest but still high concern, the conditions for a Proxy Agent becoming an enemy must be quite severe. Either the Ahn family egregiously offends the Proxy Agent or the Ahn family does something to unilaterally push the Proxy Agent to abandon cooperation.

If it’s the former, as long as the Ahn family executives remain sane, they should not do such a thing. Even if they do, her sisters can’t change it. If it’s the latter, it would only occur by accident. How serious must it be for a Proxy Agent to ignore the cooperative relationship?

She knew some information about the Dusk mercenaries; they existed to confront world crises, not just human ones. To Dusk, the human race wasn’t significant.

As long as the Ahn family doesn’t cause problems that impact the world itself, the relationship between the Proxy Agents and them won’t be too bad. To her knowledge, the Ahn family has no such intentions. Although the Ascension Plan is the Ahn family’s ultimate goal, even after achieving it, they have no reason to destroy the world.

After all, too many anomalies emerge in Hazy City, so why destroy the world?

At least for now, the Ahn family shouldn’t have that kind of notion. If, in the future, their goal is achieved and they become arrogant and start harboring such thoughts, the Ascension Plan will face additional obstacles named Proxy Agents and Dusk mercenaries.

Under the premises that the Ahn family doesn’t actively court disaster and the Ascension Plan does not reach its final steps, only if the Ahn family conducts some research that triggers a great crisis impacting the whole world, could it lead to Proxy Agents turning hostile.

The likelihood of this situation occurring is negligible, mainly because the environment is too low-level. Even if they created a doomsday virus, this apocalyptic scenario would only be for the world’s biology. A great extinction of life would occur, but the world itself would remain unaffected and wouldn’t concern Dusk.

So as long as the Ahn family doesn’t court disaster, the chance of Zheng Yichen becoming their enemy is very low—uh, Ahn Longling doesn’t rule out the possibility of the Ahn family acting without moral restraint and causing Zheng Yichen to make a ’holy separation.’

However, Ahn Longling was confident in this respect. While the Ahn family had directly touched the dark world of Hazy City, there were some things they did not touch. On the contrary, they even provided extra support to some departments to intensify the fight against those involved in ’laundry detergent.’

Through these channels, the Ahn family was able to obtain a considerable number of individuals who could be classified as ’D-Class Personnel,’ and there was no need for any sympathy toward these people. Whether for experiments or weapons testing, it was cost-effective, and even if it became known, what about public opinion?
