Chapter 598: Chapter 454: Girl, Your Opinion Doesn’t Matter_1

Rebecca started off quite resolutely shouting, but under the gaze of Zheng Yichen’s eyes, which held the color of Dusk, her determination began to falter, "Even if you’re not crazy, maybe there could be a better way to resolve this..."

"A better way? Ha—" Zheng Yichen gave a lop-sided smile, "Maybe there is a better way, and if there was one, I’d use it, but if there’s none to be found, then I won’t hesitate to make certain choices. Plus, neither you nor anyone else in this world is what you’d call my ’client’.

Only Dusk has the right to make demands of me as a client, and fortunately, this client is quite amiable, as long as I can solve the problem. As for the process... well, there’s a tiny bit of ’insignificance’ to it, but within those requirements, there’s never one that includes ’preserving all life forms’."

To Dusk, it doesn’t matter if all humans in a world die out, as long as the world’s fundamental framework remains intact. The creatures are like bacteria on a plate; it doesn’t matter if it’s wiped clean and disinfected time and again because new bacteria will appear the moment you leave it out in the air or sprinkle some sand or take a couple of handfuls.

The process really isn’t important.

"And you don’t believe what I’ve told you, do you?"

"..." Rebecca fell silent. She didn’t believe him, but she couldn’t help but be terrified by what Zheng Yichen had said—destroying an entire city of millions to prevent a potential world crisis.

It sounded utterly insane.

But she felt a strong unease within her. The global crisis might be fake, but it might also be real. Just as Zheng Yichen had said, what if it were real? What would she think on the day of the apocalypse? Regret? If it were true, she would definitely regret it, no, she would despise herself.

But what if it were all false?

"Young lady, you might have gotten one thing wrong," Alice said, noticing the conflict on Rebecca’s face, "You’re just an unlucky soul he fished out from Kreich. Your opinions and thoughts were meaningless from the start, even less significant than a cat’s meowing."

The last sentence was added after she saw the head of a black cat poking out from Zheng Yichen’s shoulder.

"I... then why save me?" Rebecca had a moment of despair. It seemed Zheng Yichen had no intention of hurting her, and the woman in front of her, who looked just like a zombie bride, seemed unlikely to suddenly eat someone alive. They were capable of having a normal conversation.

"Although I might be a bit more aggressive when there are no better options, I also won’t ignore something that could be conveniently resolved. She will be left in your care then; no problem, right?" Zheng Yichen took out a new small bottle.

"With all due respect, she isn’t worth that much," Alice said while eyeing the contents of the bottle in Zheng Yichen’s hand, showing a yearning look. At the same time, she controlled her desire, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible.

In her view, since Rebecca was saved by Zheng Yichen, it was up to him how to deal with the young girl.

Rebecca glared at the two people in front of her, her eyes red with anger.

"I’m happy; that’s all that matters," Zheng Yichen placed the item on the table, "Besides, you are now a Dusk mercenary, one that I personally unearthed. Consider this a welcoming gift for you. I wish you a long and successful journey on this path.

However, I must warn you, too much use of this item can cause mutations in life forms, so be careful."

Alice nodded, "I will, and I’ll take good care of this young lady."

"That settles it then. Bring out all the materials you’ve prepared, and I’ll have my assistant scan them. Also, there are some matters I need you to consult on."

When it comes to understanding this world, natives are always better. He had acquired some strange items that required someone’s insight.

Rebecca clenched her teeth and glared at Zheng Yichen, her eyes still red. Was her fate really to be decided so casually by others? The feeling was simply too terrible, and yet she couldn’t make any decisions on her own, "I need to contact my parents!"

"Your parents? I wasn’t going to say anything, but now that you brought it up, I really should have a proper talk with you. They’re dead, the things at your home are Evil Spirits impersonating them, they haven’t made a move on you because your close friend did a number on them, dominating them."

"Impossible!!!"

The young girl’s composure shattered instantly. She had previously managed to appear much stronger, but after Zheng Yichen’s words, she would rather believe he was simply a lunatic.

"Then think of it as impossible. This is just a one-way notification to you." Zheng Yichen gestured dismissively as Lilith’s projection appeared in the room, surprising Alice.

"Is this your assistant?"

How come she looks... somewhat like a maid? Except that this maid’s attire seems far too grand, nothing like what she’d imagined.

"Yes, give her your materials. You’re coming with me; there’s something special I need to show you."

Alice nodded her head and pointed to the books on the desk, "Everything you want is over there."

She was curious about what Zheng Yichen was going to take out.

Outside her house, Zheng Yichen took out the fishing rod that hung inside his cloak and released the Heroic Spirit inside, the special ’Heroic Spirit’ with twelve arms Zheng Yichen pulled out. As this being appeared, the negative aura that came from the medicinal fields was swept away.

"This...??" Alice looked stunned at the being Zheng Yichen had released. She instinctively felt uncomfortable, but the human part of her was very drawn to its presence.

In her perception, this twelve-armed being seemed like an Evil Spirit, but its nature was completely opposite to that of an Evil Spirit. She reached out her hand and noticed her greyish-black skin gradually turn pale, and her palm started to hurt, but she didn’t mind.

Her body had partially returned to normal in another form, not like pouring a large amount of clean water into an inkwell with Essence of Life, where the water didn’t have time to become contaminated, allowing her to temporarily return to normal.

Now this glowing, special being was forcibly straightening out her life force belonging to the Evil Spirit, with the pain of being scorched, yet she could feel that this kind of ’recovery’ was more beneficial to her.

It wasn’t like using Essence of Life to quench thirst with the sight of plums.

"What is this?"

"It should be a Heroic Spirit, right? But it’s a bit different from the description in the instruction manual," Zheng Yichen said, stroking his chin as he looked at the twelve-armed ’Heroic Spirit.’ The problem was not with his soul control ability or its connection with the white ball, but with this Heroic Spirit. The connection was there, but there was almost no forcefulness, and the influence brought about by the fishing rod wasn’t that strong either.

From these behaviors, one could understand without much thought that this thing was very special.

"Instruction manual?" Alice wisely didn’t focus too much on this issue and continued to ask the main question, "How was It born?"

"I went to Hell and killed a bunch of Evil Spirits, then took down a very strange Evil Spirit as a sacrifice, and then It was born."

"...You just described a very incredible event in one sentence."

Alice couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. Let’s not talk about going on a killing spree against Evil Spirits; just going to Hell itself felt like a tall tale. Exorcists have methods to banish Evil Spirits, and it is said that the place of banishment is Hell, but there have been no records of any living person ever contacting Hell from the start until now.

"I’m a Proxy Agent, after all! You’re smoking—surely that’s not okay?"

"Don’t mind me, I feel great!!" Alice said with a somewhat frenetic look, the burning feeling on her body was indeed hard to endure, but she enjoyed seeing the changes in her body and relished the intense burning sensation.

Watching the ’zombie bride,’ who seemed to have awakened some kind of strange preference, Zheng Yichen could see through thermal vision that her overall condition was still okay, and she didn’t look like she was about to die, so he didn’t say much more.

"The Evil Spirit I encountered in Hell was very special; the specific situation is..." He explained the circumstances of the special Evil Spirit to Alice, who widened her eyes and looked at Zheng Yichen as if she had seen a ghost.

"That... that is not an Evil Spirit, it’s an Evil God! My goodness, how did you manage to defeat such a being? Wait for me a second." Alice stopped enjoying the ’sunbath’ brought by the twelve-armed Heroic Spirit.

She quickly ran inside the house and startled Rebecca, who was stealthily standing by the window, secretly observing the outside situation, "I—I wasn’t planning to run away! And you seem to have returned to normal?"

"There are at least twenty Evil Spirits within one kilometer of my place—if you want to run, you can try," Alice said without looking back as she searched the bookshelf for a while before finding a book. Then, looking at her pale arm, she nodded in satisfaction.

She could feel that the normal color of her skin could be maintained for a long time now.

It was just the pervasive, fiery pain that made her uncomfortable, but she didn’t mind that!

And there was that shocking news Zheng Yichen brought, an Evil God was a legend, like something out of mythology. As a child, her mother had told her such stories, though this wasn’t exactly a horror story.

In Alice’s memory, it was pretty much like a mythological story where an Evil God that caused world changes died, and its body shattered into countless fragments.

The cause of the Evil God’s death was unclear, and there was no definite record; even whether it was real or not was never truly verified. Instead, there were more legends among the Evil Spirits, suggesting that the fragments of the Great Evil God were in Hell.

Alice was no historian, and the book she now found was the most reliable one containing historical records in her house.

Still, as she read through it again, she felt like it was a mythological tale, but was all of this about to change because of Zheng Yichen?

Okay, those historians certainly wouldn’t believe it easily...
