Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Sneak Attack

Wei Tianyang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This mission had been crap from the start.

Everyone was just acting, there was no language transmission virus, only a girl who invaded the consciousness of others to protect herself and a madwoman who, in order to join the Lingxian Sect, had locked down the city to conduct transmigration research.

The girl had found a chance to escape and indeed threatened the madwoman, also damaging the interests of the high and mighty. As a result, the entire city’s population was corralled into a circle and then labeled as "sick."

And he himself had nearly become an accomplice.

"I’ll take you out first," Wei Tianyang said.

"You must have heard from Chiharu, they brought me here, one, to facilitate experiments and two, to hand me over to two other organizations. Even the United Council can’t cover for you..." Fujiwara Makoto said.

"You don’t need to worry about my safety, just answer me one last question at the end," Wei Tianyang said.

"What question?" Fujiwara Makoto asked.

"Did you create those mutated civilian corpses?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Fujiwara Makoto shook her head and said, "No, they are real."

Wei Tianyang lifted her from the bed, and in that moment, he entered her consciousness.

The girl’s short 15 years of memories surfaced before his eyes.

She had been an ordinary high school girl, leading a life so ordinary it couldn’t be more so, but after her superpower was discovered, the National Guard brutally took her away.

She endured a painful year at the Churi National Secret Science Research Institute, her body riddled with tubes, her mouth sealed with meme-blocking devices, and after being injected with special serums, she spent 20 hours a day unconscious, those sanctimonious professors, torturing her on the operating table by day and toying with her in her hospital room by night.

Her body and soul were both riddled with wounds, and she wanted to end it all, but at her most helpless moment, she met Hasegawa Chiharu.

Chiharu had treated Makoto with kindness, even lending her body for Makoto to control to sneak out of the hospital and enjoy the fresh air. Chiharu took her to Hasegawa Pharmaceutical, wanting to use her power to conduct "transmigration" research for the future of humanity.

During those six months, Makoto trusted Chiharu implicitly and even began to actively cooperate with the experiments.

However, she was betrayed.

Wei Tianyang disengaged from her consciousness and gently carried her to the car outside.

Like Yaha, Makoto had entrusted her fate to others, and when betrayed, she was gravely hurt.

"The army has built rudimentary fortifications and a wall outside the city... They have heavy firepower, we can’t escape like this," Fujiwara Makoto, sitting in the passenger seat, said.

Wei Tianyang started the car and said, "Your ability is innate, so, you should be able to enter objective reality."

"Objective reality...?" Fujiwara Makoto asked.

"Don’t you know?" Wei Tianyang said.

She shook her head.

Wei Tianyang then turned off the engine again and explained objective reality to her.

When he had first entered Lusimin City, he had seen people there who could exist in two realities at once, and had thought that these were all deceased. However, that wasn’t the case.

Now, he understood that these people had drunk water contaminated with Black Medicine due to Chiharu’s experiments and had become half-dead beings. Some, when stimulated, turned into monsters, while others, he guessed, couldn’t leave this place anymore.

Deceased beings are Earth-bound Spirits.

Chiharu’s experiments here had created a large number of half-dead beings, who wandered between objective and subjective reality. Theoretically, only Wei Tianyang could see the true deceased, for without a living intermediary, they couldn’t interfere with subjective reality. But now... the situation had become slightly more complicated.

Wanting to leave this place, without engaging the Libitelli army, was an easy task for Wei Tianyang—couldn’t he just slip into objective reality?

Therefore, he placed his hand on Fujiwara Makoto’s shoulder, aiming to take her with him into the transition.

However, the moment he slipped into objective reality, the hand that was placed on Fujiwara Makoto’s shoulder found nothing but air and landed on the passenger seat instead.

Looking at the empty seat, Wei Tianyang was filled with confusion.

He slipped out again, back into subjective reality, and saw that Makoto was still sitting there.

"What are you doing?" Makoto asked.

"We’ve got trouble," Wei Tianyang shook his head.

It seemed that Makoto’s superpower didn’t follow the same principles as Black Medicine; probably, her spine didn’t contain such a substance...

This made him consider another problem—if so, could objective reality be tied to the Black Medicine?

And Black Medicine came from those Heavenly Falling Objects...

The more he thought, the more he felt that this "objective reality" might not be so "objective."

"What do you mean we are in trouble?" Fujiwara Makoto pressed.

"It seems like you can’t exist in objective reality. I don’t know if it’s because the nature of our superpowers is different, or... my ability has become ineffective on you... anyway, we need to find another way," Wei Tianyang said.

"I have no ideas either. I once tried to control a civilian to attempt to leave the city. But the soldiers on the wall, without any warning, just shot him dead," Fujiwara Makoto said.

"Perhaps those people are under the orders of the Lingxian Sect or the Dawn of Humanity," Wei Tianyang suggested with a shake of his head.

"What did you just say about the deceased? I haven’t seen them before," Fujiwara Makoto said.

"Ishmael, if it really comes down to it... you should go back on your own," Makoto sighed.

Wei Tianyang looked at her and smiled.

"I will definitely get you out of here. The only question is how many will have to die. With my current identity, it’s not appropriate for me to go on a killing spree, and I don’t want to always be doing that," Wei Tianyang said.

Fujiwara Makoto’s look towards Wei Tianyang was somewhat terrified.

"Stop talking, let’s drive outside and then we’ll talk."

Wei Tianyang started the car, and the sedan went along the intercity highway, heading in the direction of the countryside.

The journey was smooth, and in just over half an hour, they had driven past the farms that lay in the countryside.

During the journey, Fujiwara Makoto dozed off against her seat, while Wei Tianyang remained very alert.

The situation had undergone a huge reversal; during the day, he was carrying Chiharu, and now, he was with this young girl.

Life was unpredictable, but at the moment, no one could deceive or use him anymore, no one could lie to him with a sense of entitlement.

Wei Tianyang was growing increasingly eager to return, to go back to Yin Country, to see what truly lay in Zhao Ling’s heart.

Maybe... he could also take a look at Yaha... he really wanted to know what Yaha had gone through...

While driving, he suddenly smelled a strange odor, and through the windshield, he could faintly make out a layer of dark gold fog swirling not far ahead on the road.

What was that?

Wei Tianyang cautiously slowed down and at the same time, woke up Makoto.

The next second, there was a loud pop as the rear tire burst, and the car, like a bar of slippery soap, skidded and bounced several times before it took off into the air.
