CHAPTER 474: CHAPTER 465 PLAY THE HYPOCRITE ONCE

Alice, favored by the luck of the realms, had persuasively coaxed the beautiful Jill into signing a demon contract.

This brought a smile to Bai Yan’s face, a smile filled with sheer delight.

Standing behind Bai Yan, Li Xu originally thought Brother Yan was happy about subduing two pretty girls, only to find that wasn’t the case.

Bai Yan led the group cheerfully into another room and gestured for Alice and Jill to take a seat.

"Have you got a friend named Matt?"

Bai Yan asked.

"Yes, Master."

Alice nodded, having become a Demon Servant hadn’t affected her autonomy or memories.

"Hmm, the information I have suggests Matt has gotten involved with Umbrella Company’s Revenge Goddess project. You’re aware of the Revenge Goddess project, aren’t you?"

Bai Yan stared at Alice.

"The Revenge Goddess project... Matt..."

Alice murmured to herself before her gaze fixed piercingly on Li Xu standing behind Bai Yan.

It was this Asian man who had killed Matt!

The tyrant that Li Xu had killed was Matt!

Li Xu smiled awkwardly, somewhat helpless inside.

My Brother Yan, why did you have to spoil it for this girl!

"You needn’t look at him; I only learned of this today, and his killing the tyrant was to save you all."

Bai Yan chuckled, lying was second nature to him.

"The real culprits are Umbrella Company... developing viruses, using living people for biochemical experiments, attempting to cleanse the whole world, letting a few survive while the majority dies... Do you hate them?"

Bai Yan’s voice was full of seduction and leading.

"Umbrella Company...."

Alice’s hands clenched into fists, tightly gripped, with a glint of hatred sparkling in her eyes.

There!

This truly was a righteous and protective young girl!

So naive yet so powerful, the classic main protagonist archetype!

Bai Yan mused internally.

"I need you to take on the Umbrella Company, and of course, I will provide some assistance. The development and spread of the T-virus are all because of Umbrella Company, facing such evil powers. Young girl, you should bravely stand up and destroy it!"

Bai Yan squinted at Alice with a smile, much like the Big Bad Wolf trying to entice Little Red Riding Hood.

"Alright, Master, what should I do!"

Alice suddenly looked up, her bright eyes sparkling as she gazed at Bai Yan.

In her heart, Bai Yan had already become the noble man leading a righteous girl down a bright path, and the Umbrella Company was her enemy, Alice’s nemesis, and the enemy of all mankind!

"No rush, I’ll arrange for someone to devise a detailed action plan for you, and the warriors under my command will also provide some protection for you."

"The Umbrella Company’s power is vast and global; we can only take it one step at a time."

Bai Yan continued with a smile: "The first step, I need you to infiltrate the headquarters of the Umbrella Company, seize all data and high-level administrative rights from the Red Queen. Subsequent tasks will be issued to you through brainwave communication."

"Mission accomplished!"

Alice spoke loudly.

"What an obedient girl."

Bai Yan smiled contentedly.

....

In the afternoon of that day, on Bai Yan’s instructions, Zhang Kailei made time to develop a comprehensive battle plan for Alice, and allocated ten A+ level warriors to support Alice. All the individual combat equipment was for Alice to choose from first.

"My other warriors need to save the people of this city, so I can’t offer you too much help, but I believe you will succeed! Because you are strong and powerful, Alice!"

Under Bai Yan’s encouraging and trusting gaze, Alice, joined by Jill and the Demon Warriors, left Raccoon City by helicopter.

From the helicopter, Alice witnessed the desolate state of Raccoon City beneath her.

Everywhere there were zombies howling and running amok, survivors hiding like rats, and numerous Demon Warriors "tirelessly" cleansing the city, killing zombies and rescuing survivors.

In her eyes, the Demon Warriors collecting demonic energy for Bai Yan became valiant warriors of justice, and Bai Yan himself seemed to be the wise leader who came forward to fight against the evil Umbrella Company to protect the city.

"For this world, I must destroy the Umbrella Company! Wanyan Company is the real power that deserves to control this world! Only the Lord can bring light to this world!"

Alice clenched her fist, bit her lip lightly, and quietly pumped herself up.

....

Hive, central control room.

"Brother Yan, isn’t this a bit too devious? She thinks we’re the good guys..."

Li Xu spoke to Bai Yan with a tinge of mischief.

Clearly, Bai Yan was an invader from another dimension; clearly, the rescue of the city’s survivors was to select talent and expand the number of Demon Servants.

Yet, all this was conveyed to Alice, turned into the narrative that a supremely good person led an army of justice to save the city and the world in peril.

Isn’t this a scenario only found in anime?

Standing up bravely for freedom and justice to resist the forces of evil?

But... My Brother Yan!

You’re the biggest villain of them all! You’re the biggest evil force! You’re a Demon!

"You don’t understand, occasionally playing the hypocrite can be quite enjoyable."

Bai Yan lay on the chair, smiling, toying with a bottle of the clear, blue T-virus.

Deception and pretense were also part of a Demon’s essential lessons.

"Why let Alice confront Umbrella Company? And the support we’re giving her is too little. We could definitely provide more, and with greater force we should resolve the Umbrella Company issue quicker, and take control of the world faster, right?"

Li Xu sighed helplessly and continued to voice his doubts to Bai Yan.

"Don’t underestimate a favorite of the dimension. As the True Destiny Girl, even when she has become a Demon Servant, she hasn’t lost the support of the dimension. In this world, no one can confront Alice directly."

Bai Yan chuckled.

Every dimension has its favored individuals and destinies, whose potential to unleash power is boundless.

Bai Yan spoke softly, "As to why not offer more support... Umbrella Company isn’t as fragile as you think. They are very strong!"

The Umbrella Company controlled super-advanced artificial intelligence systems, perfected cloning technology, cyborg modification technology, and especially surpassed in virus research and application more than the typical scientific dimension, not to mention their control over formidable biological weapons, arms manufacturing, human cryonics, and other advanced technologies.

Such a behemoth could only be handled by Bai Yan himself, otherwise, his current command of eight thousand Demon Servants might not be sufficient to deal with the Umbrella Company.

After all, the Umbrella Company could at any moment create a massive army of Clone Biochemical Soldiers!

Even if the eight thousand Demon Servants wouldn’t be defeated so easily, overcoming these Clone armies would take considerable time.

And Bai Yan didn’t want to wait so long!

But if Bai Yan personally intervened, any power he unleashed beyond the capacity of this dimension might provoke rejection by the dimension’s will, leading to severe consequences such as bad luck, power suppression, or even forced exile.

All these were clearly recorded within the Demon Lord System.

When a Demon Lord conquers a dimension, unless recognized by that dimension or possessing a formidable power that can resist the dimension’s will, one mustn’t use excessively powerful forces.

Bai Yan wouldn’t act personally unless absolutely necessary!

He might be powerful, but at this time, he hadn’t even obtained his True Name, let alone master the power to resist the rules of the dimension.

At this point, Bai Yan couldn’t make a move, and eight thousand Demon Servants couldn’t expand their victories further, so the best course of action was to let the True Destiny Girl of this dimension, Alice, handle Umbrella!

Let the story return to the tracks approved by the dimension’s will.

What Bai Yan wanted was just to ensure his interests weren’t infringed upon, as for the process, he didn’t care.
