“What’s going on?”

“Bombs. Someone is using bombs to blast open our passage. It’s the people from the Black Dragon Cult. Quick, pick up your weapons and fight!”

The people in the basement immediately took action. Lan Tian escorted Linlin out of the room and realized that a large number of people from the Black Dragon Cult had surged in. They were holding guns and bombs as they slaughtered everyone in the basement in a frenzy.

“Lan Tian, protect Linlin and leave. Someone needs to make sacrifices, but it’s definitely not the two of you. This world has already been corrupted by evil. The power of evil is very strong now. You must survive, because you are the only saviors!”

Elder Tu drew a long sword. Like a courageous warrior, he charged towards the countless men in black.

Boom.

The courageous Elder Tu was blasted into pieces by a bomb from the Black Dragon Cult. The strong smell of blood filled the air, nauseating.

This was like hell on earth. Even Linlin was stunned by the scene before her.

“Hurry up and leave!”

Lan Tian carried Linlin decisively and quickly escaped through another passage.

He had always believed that he was the savior! Ever since Elder Tu came looking for him in high school, he had always been active in the dark, fighting against the dark forces of evil.

After so many years, he was even more convinced that he was the savior!

Finally, Lan Tian carried Linlin out of the basement and escaped. Linlin shouted, “Quick, quick, let’s go to the police station and file a report.”

“What’s the use of going to the police? The police are all ordinary people. They can’t deal with the Black Dragon Cult.”

Lan Tian did not believe in the police at all.

“You’re really insane. Those men in black used guns and bombs just now. Only the police and the army can deal with them. Whether you’re telling the truth or not, times have changed. Humanity is no longer weak. Look at the current technological development. With those powerful weapons, even Demon Kings would be blasted to pieces if they are reborn.”

Linlin was a staunch materialist. Even though she had seen some “strange” power, she still firmly believed in technology.

“No, you will never understand how terrifying they are. Only we, only the Divine Ring, can defeat those evil forces.”

Lan Tian appeared very stubborn as he glared at Linlin.

“You lunatic. You want the Divine Ring, right? I’ll give it to you!”

Linlin took out the other half of the ring from her pocket. Her grandmother had left it to her. In the past, she had only treated it as a keepsake. But such a strange thing had happened now, and she seemed to be involved in some complicated situations.

She simply gave the ring to Lan Tian.

When Lan Tian saw the other part of the Divine Ring, he looked very excited. However, he shook his head and said, “It’s useless. I can’t wield the Divine Ring alone. Only together can the two of us restore the power of the Divine Ring, and finally eliminate those evil powers to save the world! Linlin, you can’t avoid this. You’re the savior!”

“No, you lunatic. I won’t believe you. I’m not the savior, and there is no savior in this world. I’m calling the police right now.”

With that, Linlin left.

Lan Tian opened its mouth, but did not say anything in the end. He could only watch helplessly as Linlin disappeared.

Perhaps only when Linlin learned the truth and the cruelty of the matter would she understand her mission. Then, Lan Tian’s figure flashed and disappeared.

“What a clichéd story. Savior? Interesting.”

Just as they left, Lin Feng appeared. There seemed to be a mocking smile on his face.

…

At the police station, after Linlin explained everything about the matter of the Black Dragon Cult to the police in detail, she was quickly transferred to a secret place. It was said to be under the National Security Bureau.

At this moment, a burly man walked into the room.

“Madam, the information you provided was very useful. Your rationality not only saved you, but also your companion. By the way, he claims to be the savior. This is your companion, right?”

With that, the man in black’s subordinates brought a man in.

“Lan Tian, what happened to you?”

Linlin was very surprised. She had only been separated from Lan Tian for three days. How did Lan Tian become like this? He looked very weak and disheveled.

“What did you do to Lan Tian?” Linlin asked fiercely.

“No, Madam, I think you’ve misunderstood. We’re not the ones who put him in this state. On the contrary, we saved him! We quickly locked onto Lan Tian according to the clues you provided, but unfortunately, when we found him, he was surrounded by a group of people in black. They should be armed men from the Black Dragon Cult.”

“In the end, we paid a high price to save your companion. However, your companion clearly did not trust us. He felt that he was the savior, but how could he save the world in this state?”

The burly man shrugged, looking very helpless.

“Heh, let us go now. We are saviors. Only we can save the world. It’s too late. You have no idea how terrifying those monsters from the Black Dragon Cult are.” Lan Tian struggled to speak. He was still bent on destroying the Black Dragon Cult.

The burly man shook his head and said, “Sir, I think you underestimate us too much. We’ve already captured many of the monsters from the Black Dragon Cult you mentioned. They are indeed very strong individually, but under superior firepower, they’d be defeated easily. I think this lady is very rational. Times are different now. There is no such thing as saviors in this world. If there really is one, it’d be us humans!”

Then, the burly man led Lan Tian and Linlin to another hall.

This seemed to be a huge laboratory. Inside the transparent glass were many strange humans with many tubes attached to their bodies. There seemed to be experiments conducted here.

Some of them were humanoid, but their bodies had become hideous and terrifying, like wild beasts.

“How did you guys…”

Lan Tian was really shocked. There were at least hundreds of monsters in this hall, and they were all captured here without any ability to resist. In the past, even he would have to spend a lot of effort to kill such a monster.

Linlin was also shocked, but at the same time, she was very excited. It seemed like the human government and army could deal with these monsters. She and Lan Tian would no longer have to carry the heavy burden of being saviors.

The burly man shook his head and said, “Although these monsters are very strong, they are indeed defeated easily. We killed more of these monsters on the battlefield. However, the situation became different a few months ago. Other monsters suddenly appeared in the Black Dragon Cult, and they were ten times more terrifying than these monsters. We call them mutated monsters.”

“We’ve long learned about those beliefs you hold about saviors. We’ve even found some information on your Divine Ring. All that’s left is experimentation. If your Divine Ring is really effective against the mutated monsters, we humans will definitely be able to develop the latest weapons to deal with those mutated monsters.”

Lan Tian was very surprised. In the past, he had been exhausted from dealing with these monsters in the laboratory. He had even fought with these monsters for a few years, hiding all the time.

But now, these monsters were actually called insignificant by the burly man, as if they were very easy to deal with. It felt like his conviction was beginning to crumble.

“That’s right, the Divine Ring. I still have the Divine Ring. We must be saviors!”

Lan Tian suddenly raised his head. He took out half of the Divine Ring in his hand and handed the other half to Linlin. His eyes were filled with determination.
