"Here it is," Sir Youlong said in a hushed voice .
The party observed the surroundings cautiously by looking through the ventilation duct . They found themselves in a large plant, where a few overhead bridge cranes were hanging on either side of the wall . Below lay nothing but some dilapidated machine tools and rusty conveyor belts covered in dust . Apparently, the plant owner had removed every piece of usable equipment before he had shut the plant down .
The empty factory, however, was now lit by several torches, with their dazzling, greenish-white flames dancing around in the darkness . These torches were set in a circle, and there were around twenty distorted shadows in the middle .
"Are those shadows our targets?" asked Luo Hua .
"Most likely," one of the traditional martialists replied . "I can sense their fluctuating power, which tells me that these people are at the last stage of transitioning . "
The last stage referred to a stage where the humans would completely lose their humanity and consciousness, thus becoming corrupted puppet . Fallen Evils at this stage only acted on their instincts like animals, as they lost all the communication ability they once had .
"They used to be . . . martialists?"
"Not necessarily . Although there were some fallen martialists according to the Association's records, generally speaking, amateurs are more prone to corruption . "
"It's my first time seeing a living Fallen Evil, but regardless, a martialist lack of self-discipline and proactivity is, in every aspect, useless," Luo Hua snorted with utmost contempt . "Pathetic . . . they don't deserve the Force of Nature . Captain, let's do this . "
"Wait a minute," Sir Youlong stopped Luo Hua calmly . "It appears that more Fallen Evils are coming here . Wait until they've all gathered so that we can kill them all in one go . But, don't you feel that this is strange? These Fallen Evils are all in their last stages . Why didn't they go kill the amateurs? Why did they come here? I have a feeling that things aren't as simple as we thought . Perhaps, we should first find out their intentions rather than killing them all outright . "
While everyone was exchanging opinions, Roland stole a glance at Fei Yuhan .
That unexpected "Your Majesty" seemed to be still ringing in his ears .
Within a few seconds, turbulent emotions had flooded through Roland . He had not been so perturbed by someone over the past few years since his ascendence to the throne .
At first, Roland had thought it was Elena calling him and he had almost responded, but he had swallowed his words at the last minute . If Fei Yuhan was really Elena's incarnation, she would not have introduced herself in the first place and taken the seat beside him so carefreely .
The abrupt change from joy to disappointment was almost as painful as the grief itself . As he recollected himself in the next few minutes, he soon figured out why Fei Yuhan had addressed him like this . Garcia had told him that martialists were usually acute observers, particularly for those gifted ones . As Fei Yuhan had attended the party held by the Clover Group, she must have overheard his conversation with the witches .
The next question was — how much did Fei Yuhan know about him?
Roland judged that she probably did not know much at this stage, considering how she was still testing him . At least, she didn't know anything about the other world yet . However, this was alarming to Roland, since no one would want to know that he was only fictional and only existed in dreams . Once the secret about this Dream World was known to someone, the consequences would be disastrous .
Garcia was right . He needed to be extra cautious when dealing with Fei Yuhan .
"Mhm? Look, the new Fallen Evil . . . looks a little different than the others . " At that moment, a voice from the headset interrupted Roland's train of thought . "It seems that it's commanding the other Fallen Evils . "
Roland took off his goggles and looked toward the center of the plant through the ventilation . He saw a group of Fallen Evils slowly walk in while carrying three cargo containers, all the while at the command of a man in a suit .
"Are they the Fallen Evils who have yet to completely lose their minds?" Sir Youlong mumbled in bewilderment . "What are they playing at?"
Several traditional martialists frowned . Compared with transformed Fallen Evils, those still in transitioning period were normally more difficult to deal with . At that stage, compassion and empathy had escaped them, but the dark side of human nature, such as subterfuge and shrewdness, remained . Typically, these Fallen Evils used to be well-established martialists .
"Shh — " Fei Yuhan suddenly spoke . "Be quiet . Something's in those containers . "
Everyone held their breath immediately .
After a while, Fei Yuhan said heavily, "There are people… inside . "
"What?"
"I heard someone crying and pleading . It seems like they're gagged . "
"You're saying that there are civilians in those containers?" Sir Youlong asked in surprise . "I've never seen anything like this before in the Association's records . Fallen Evils do kill often, but they don't really pick on common people . "
