Chapter 904: This Is a Classified Mission!

Now that they had already sent the Blood-Robed Madam to Earth, what were they doing here?

If they were only here to gather information about him, there was no need to make such a fuss. The higher-ups of the Flesh and Blood Cult should know perfectly well that he was in Nightfall City. No one would expect him to show up here.

At least, not right now.

A panel for the enormous Mass of Flesh and Blood immediately appeared before Lynn’s eyes.

【Giant Aberration: Crawler】

【Type】: Heavy Bio-armament

【Rank】: Transcendent Peak

【Combat Ability】: Extremely powerful defense and corrosive abilities

【Introduction】: An elite giant bio-armament produced by the Dominator Sect of the Flesh and Blood Cult. This war machine is often used to transport important cargo. Its incredibly powerful defenses can withstand fierce incursions by higher-level creatures. As it moves, it releases corrosive blood mist that has an extremely potent erosive effect on creatures outside the Flesh Domain. When it switches to combat mode, it becomes the nightmare of all dark creatures...

In plain English,

this was probably an armed cargo truck belonging to the Flesh and Blood Cult, a powerful creation used to supply troops during wartime.

That certainly gave one plenty to wonder about.

What could a tiny place like Soul-Severance Street possibly be worth, to make the Flesh and Blood Cult deploy a creation like this?

And what were they transporting? Supplies?

Heh, heh, heh.

That didn’t seem likely. At most, they had a few small Bases here, not even enough to take down Big Tongue. Was there really any need to send so many supplies?

Yin Yi cautiously glanced around, then sent a sound transmission. “Mr. Lynn, how do you plan to gather information? Are you going to subdue them all?”

Lynn closed his eyes.

Thump!

He flicked her on the forehead.

“Ow...” Yin Yi covered her semitransparent head with an (ó﹏ò｡) expression.

Lynn closed his eyes and sent a sound transmission. “How many times have I told you? We’re civilized people. Why are you always thinking about fighting? Why not just ask them directly?”

“Uh...”

With Yin Yi staring wide-eyed, Lynn turned around and looked with a (*￣︶￣) smile at the one-eyed monster pushing his wheelchair. The monster was cheerfully in high spirits after accepting a bribe.

“Friend, you don’t look like you’re from the local Base. Where did you come from? Have you come here for some evil mission?”

The one-eyed monster’s enormous eyeball turned toward him. “Classified. No comment.”

【Ding! Your Skeleton Coins -50】

“Hohohoho! We’re all in the same sect, why make a fuss over a little spending? If you want to know, brother, would I really keep it from you? Don’t be such a stranger! To be honest, we were just sent over from our Branch in Sin City. We’re under orders to respond here to a Summoning Ritual from the Surface World.”

“You know, there was just a cross-world Summoning here recently. While space is still unstable from that Summoning, responding to another one here will save us a fortune!”

Lynn rubbed his chin.

So that was it...

Using the lingering effects of the last Summoning to respond to another Summoning Ritual. They really knew how to cut costs.

“Can you tell me what kind of Summoning Ritual it is? And what are you transporting this time? I can hear something rustling around in there. It sounds alive.”

Lynn asked amiably.

The one-eyed monster shook his head, its eyeball wriggling. “I really can’t tell you that. Don’t make things difficult for me, brother. This is the most important secret of our mission. If we just tell other creatures, we’ll be hauled back and Squeezed Dry, then subjected to the ultimate punishment.”

【Ding! Your Skeleton Coins -200】

“Ahahaha! Squeeze us dry, then! We’re actually not afraid of being squeezed dry!”

“To be honest with you, brother, we’re transporting a new kind of flesh-and-blood creature that our Flesh-and-Blood Master just developed. We call it a ‘Parasite Beast’ internally. It’s a weapon that can reproduce rapidly inside low-level flesh-and-blood creatures, then control and enslave their brains. It doesn’t work all that well in the Dark World, but against creatures in the Surface World, it’s incredibly effective.”

Lynn’s heart stirred.

He had a bad feeling about this.

“So you’re planning to send these things to the Surface World? Can you tell me which world?”

【Ding! Your Skeleton Coins -50】

Coins clattered to the ground.

The one-eyed monster immediately widened its eye, wriggled down in a flash, and shot out a number of tentacles to swiftly scoop up every Skeleton Coin scattered on the ground and stash them away.

“You’re spending too much! Way too much! They don’t even cost this much at the black market... To be honest, brother, we’re sending them to the same world that responded to a Summoning not long ago. We call it ‘Ocean World No. 47’ internally. Since it’s a Surface World relatively close to Hell’s Borderlands, sacrifices can be made very quickly there.”

Lynn raised an eyebrow and smiled. “It’s a water-blue planet?”

“That’s right. You know about that world too, brother?”

Lynn’s lips curled as he adjusted his Monocle. “Ah, I know a little, though definitely not as much as you do. But could I ask what you plan to do by sending these things you call ‘Parasite Beasts’ there? I’m extremely curious.”

【Ding! Your Skeleton Coins -100】

Clatter, clatter!

The sound of coins hitting the ground.

“That’s too much! You’re giving me way too much! (hurriedly) I can’t use that much! (quickly crawling across the ground to scoop them up)!!”

“It was requested by the followers we’ve developed in that world. They found clues to some things the higher-ups have been searching for, so the higher-ups are paying a great deal of attention to that world now. They’re basically granting every request. I don’t actually know much, but it looks like they want to speed up their invasion of that world.”

“Each of these ‘Parasite Beasts’ isn’t very strong on its own, but if they reproduce rapidly, they can quickly unleash a plague-like attack on those lesser creatures. They’re also a way to rapidly increase the number of our followers in that world. Since they’ve requested this weapon, they’re probably planning to carry out the first wave of biological extermination.”

Crack!

He suddenly froze when he saw the badly deformed armrest of the wheelchair in Lynn’s hand.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“Ah!”

Lynn stretched lazily, his smile growing extraordinarily wide.

“I’m just so excited. The thought of slaughtering an entire population on such a massive scale really gets my blood pumping. If I could, I’d love to take part in this extermination myself. Just imagining it is absolutely thrilling!”

As the one-eyed monster rapidly scooped up the Skeleton Coins on the ground, the tentacles on its body danced with delight. Its face twisted into an evil grin, and its long tongue licked the little fleshy growths around its cheeks as it said excitedly,

“That’s right! Just imagining being part of it is thrilling, especially when you’re torturing those weak creatures and listening to them scream. It’s absolutely delightful. Just thinking about it is enough to get anyone excited!”

Yin Yi turned around, her face pale and trembling, and shot Lynn a frantic, questioning look.

Earth...

She finally understood why Earth had suddenly experienced that series of supernatural changes before they fell. The source of it all had been here...

The Flesh and Blood Cult wanted to completely invade their hometown!

But Lynn was still smiling brightly. He rubbed his chin and rested his cheek on his hand.

“Could you take me to see those ‘Parasite Beasts’ you’re transporting? Such an evil weapon has even me itching with curiosity. So, could I go have a look?”

The eyeball monster gathering the Skeleton Coins paused.

The wriggling eyeball on its face turned toward Lynn, and it hesitated.

“This... might not be a good idea. You should know that although the Flesh and Blood Cult is pretty chaotic on the inside, this is still a classified mission, brother. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but this cargo is far too important. It’s a serious matter. I think you should...”

【Ding! Your Skeleton Coins -300】

Clatter, clatter, clatter!

“Look! Look! I never said you couldn’t! Aren’t classified missions meant to be shown to people?! Why are you spending so much? You clearly don’t trust me! Arrange it for your brother right now! ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ!!”
