94: Chapter 91: Quite Complete, Huh!

“This world…

truly is terrifying…”

Master Yang looked at the terrifying faces on the wall and felt as if he had been in a very long dream…

It seemed as though a long time ago, a voice told him, “Have a good sleep, and when you open your eyes, this world will be safe.”

That voice was very convincing.

He remembered sleeping soundly and at ease, and just like the voice had said, when he opened his eyes, it did seem truly safe…

safe for twenty years!

Yes…

he remembered now.

This world had always been this way…

Cold, terrifying, despairing!

As a person, suddenly being killed one day, being eaten, was a very common occurrence.

The scene before him was not sudden because originally…

it was always like this!

“No matter how terrifying, one must look it squarely in the eye…”

Master Yang had already closed his eyes, waiting for the most tragic outcome because he truly could not bear to watch his own grandson die such a brutal death right before him.

But the sudden voice made him open his eyes wide.

He hadn’t heard that voice in a long time, but he remembered…

“Long time no see, Old Yang!”

“Chen…

Chen Qing?” Master Yang was stunned.

It had been four or five years, and the lad had grown quite a bit.

But no…

that wasn’t Chen Qing!

Master Yang suddenly realized, turned his head to look, and found that everything around him had stopped.

The living corpses on the walls, the frightened children and teachers below, even the insects in the sky, had all halted.

“Twenty years…” The youth who closely resembled Chen Qing smiled slightly: “I didn’t expect the first one to unlock the memory seal would be you, Old Yang.”

“It’s you…” Master Yang recognized him.

This person, even if he had changed his face, was instantly recognizable to him.

But why…

would he take on the appearance of Chen Qing?

“They said…

you were dead!”

The youth smiled faintly, turned around, and with a casual swipe, the living corpses on the wall, including the female corpse next to him, all disappeared without a trace.

Master Yang was dumbfounded.

That feeling was like casually deleting something on a computer; those ghastly monsters really just…

vanished without a trace.

Wait a minute?

What is a computer?

“Only by looking squarely at this world will one have the courage to resist.” The youth stood with hands clasped behind his back, smiling at the bright moonlight in the sky: “Old Yang, this is what you taught me back then.”

“You’re still alive…” Master Yang suddenly fell to his knees, his eyes red with emotion: “Why…

why didn’t you save us?”

Wait a minute?

Why did he say that?

“Because…

there’s been an anomaly!”

“An anomaly?”

The youth was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something and looked back sharply.

Master Yang also looked back, and though there was nothing there, he could clearly feel that something terribly frightening was approaching.

“Remember, Old Yang…

that Chen Qing is an anomaly!”

“What anomaly, be more specific!” Master Yang fiercely attempted to grab the youth but caught nothing, as the youth’s body became like a reflection on water, growing blurry.

“You must remember, Old Yang…” The youth’s voice grew fainter and fainter, and Master Yang didn’t dare lunge again, instead straining to listen.

“You must remember…

who you are!!”

—————–

By the time Chen Qing arrived at Luling County, it was already the next morning.

The scene was more tragic than imagined…

The city was desolate without a trace of life, the streets were in utter disarray, blood and torn flesh were visible everywhere on the ground, and occasionally there were bodies that had been completely chewed up, their deaths extremely grim!

“Ugh!” A group of young, strong soldiers who had hardly seen such bloody scenes knelt down and vomited, their faces pale, filled with aftershock, and they couldn’t help but worry about their families.

“Master…

we’re too late.” Chen Ying managed to hold back her disgust; after all, having traveled with her master, she had witnessed many scenes of demons harming humans.

Chen Qing pursed his lips.

Of course, they were late.

The living corpses floated down the river, while they had hurried over by land.

They would’ve been fortunate to make it in time.

“We should’ve taken the water route,” Chen Ying said, frowning.

“Water route?” Chen Qing looked at her speechlessly: “Who knows how many living corpses there are in that river!

If we were to encounter them at night, surely you can fly, but how many soldiers on the boat would survive?”

Chen Ying looked at Chen Qing, slightly puzzled: “But isn’t Master here?”

In her opinion, with Chen Qing’s many miraculous methods and a strength that must be no less than her master’s, dealing with some living corpses shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

Chen Qing: “…”

It seemed that he had shown off too much on normal days, giving someone a very unrealistic illusion…

Currently, his spiritual power consisted only of two minor gods who had not yet entered the ranked hierarchy.

Even if he could borrow their power, his overall strength would be roughly that of a Fifth Rank Magician, and uneven at that, as his underlying spiritual system was scarce and his methods too few.

In an actual fight, there was a high probability he would be no match for a real Fifth Rank Magician.

His only reliance, Ghost Doll, was left in Lyuzhou to act as a forceful defender, because with just Zhou Pangzi and Wei Gongcheng, it would be difficult to withstand Old Jiu from the Shen Family who had been infected.

“Master…

may I request to go to Shaxi, my hometown?

I still have my elderly mother and seven-year-old little sister at home!”

“Master, master, me too; I really can’t be at ease!”

A group of them knelt down, crying and wailing, large men one after another scared by the scene before them.

“No!” Chen Qing said firmly: “You are now enlisted in the military.

Leaving without permission is considered desertion, and by the laws of Great Jin, you would be punished with decapitation.

Think carefully!”

“This…” The group of people suddenly choked and their complexions turned extremely ugly.
