Chapter 1592
“Why are you guys telling me all this?” Han Sen took a deep breath to compose his thoughts before asking .
After all, what he had been told was a hypothesis . It was just a collection of ifs, and there was no point in Han Sen being troubled by all this .
This time, Ning Yue did not speak . Second Uncle looked at Han Sen and said, “There’s one thing you shouldn’t doubt: Han Jinzhi is capable of doing all this . Although it may not be true, at least we have confirmed that it is possible . Whether you’re Han Jinzhi’s heir or not, you’re still functioning as bait . Everyone wants to get you, especially the leader of this New Community . I am just unsure why he hasn’t done anything yet . Perhaps he needs another two years to recover, and once he has, you’ll be his prime target again . ”
“Second Uncle, do you know the New Community’s leader? Who is he?” Han Sen had so many questions about the New Community, all of which had no answers . He wanted them . Second Uncle seemed to know a thing or two, that much was clear .
And just as Second Uncle said, the New Community had already tried coming after him once . Han Sen had managed to avoid them . Had he not, he’d be in their hands .
“You must have heard what happened to the seventh team by now . ” Second Uncle sighed .
Han Sen suddenly perked up . With excitement, he nodded and said, “I have heard a bit . When you guys first entered the sanctuary, you met a character called God . This being granted you all one wish . Only you and another woman refused the offer . ”
Second Uncle nodded and said, “My knowledge of the events reflects yours . We entered that strange dimension and did indeed meet someone called God . Gu Qingcheng and I didn’t make a wish, but everybody else did . They accepted God’s Trial . ”
Han Sen lifted his ears, not willing to miss a single word . He knew he was close to learning things that he had never discovered before .
Second Uncle poured some more tea and took a sip before speaking again . He said, “Han Jinzhi told me it wasn’t actually God . It was merely a creature that looked like us, and that is why he told me not to make a wish . I didn’t make a wish at the time, but I ultimately disregarded his advice . I eventually made one . ”
“What? You did?” Han Sen’s eyes opened wide . He was too shocked to refer to him as Second Uncle politely now .
In the versions of the story he had heard up until now, Second Uncle did not make a wish . But now he was being told that the man had, right from the horse’s mouth .
Second Uncle sighed and said, “That being said, I wish I had listened to Han Jinzhi and not made the wish . The temptation, however, was too strong . I made it . ”
Han Sen’s heart was full of conflicted emotions . He wanted to start asking questions, but he couldn’t think of where to begin . He looked at Second Uncle and waited for him to resume speaking .
If Second Uncle made a wish, then why did he appear to be doing just fine? He had not been trapped like Dawn, and he was not living with pain like Uncle Bug . He seemed in perfect health .
“Do you know what wish I made?” Second Uncle smiled, but it was a queer one .
“What was the wish?” Han Sen didn’t make guesses . He just wanted to hear the answers directly . Han Sen had spent far too much time guessing these matters, and he was getting tired of the constant theorizing .
Clearly, Second Uncle didn’t want him to guess, either . He smiled and said, “I am the greediest . So, the wish I made was to have more wishes . ”
Han Sen looked at Second Uncle . The wish seemed so childish; it was something a kid would do . But at the same time, it sort of made sense .
Second Uncle took a deep breath and said, “I was wondering if Han Jinzhi was telling the truth; after all, he made a wish . If that being wasn’t God, then why would he impart advice and still make a wish of his own, anyway? That’s why I ultimately decided to make one . ”
“And then? Did your wish come true?” Han Sen asked .
“It did . ” Second Uncle’s face looked bitter . He went on to say, “Now I can have many wishes, but first, I must finish the missions I was given . And those wishes were not what I wanted . But if I don’t finish the missions, I will be dead . ”
Now Han Sen understood what he meant . He had been tricked by God, enslaved by him to do his bidding . He was a slave and nothing more .
“What is this God thing?” Han Sen asked, gritting his teeth .
Second Uncle shook his head and said, “I don’t know what it is, but you should assume it is simply a creature residing in the Fifth Sanctuary . That might be true, but its powers exceed the boundaries of the sanctuary . This is nothing an ordinary creature can do . The New Community has some sort of a connection to this God . And the missions I am forced to do are all for the greater benefit of the New Community . ”
“Could the leader of the New Community be this God?” Han Sen asked in shock .
Second Uncle shook his head, as it was not something he could answer .
“I don’t know why the New Community has not tried anything against you yet, but from what I see, their focus in finding Han Jinzhi is greater than anyone else’s . And that confuses me . Perhaps you are able to tell me why this is?” Second Uncle asked Han Sen .
“Maybe it is because they aren’t strong enough to get me,” Han Sen said .
Second Uncle gave a wry smile . “The New Community is stronger than you think . You are strong, but if they wanted you done for, you would be . They’d find a way . ”
“But I can’t think of any other reasons why they haven’t . ” Han Sen shrugged with his hands open .
Second Uncle went quiet for a moment, before proceeding . “There is a problem with the New Community leader’s body . From what I have come to know, it will take two years to recover . And once it has recovered, he will most likely come after you himself . ”
Second Uncle didn’t give a second thought to the idea that the New Community had not struck yet was because it currently wasn’t strong enough .
When Tina brought the Geno Armor with her to fight, it was stolen by Han Sen . And Han Sen found himself able to use it . This put the New Community at a big disadvantage .
They could now only wait for their leader to recover and deal personally with Han Sen .
“If you are willing, I am hoping we can co-operate when the times comes to deal with the New Community . ” Second Uncle looked directly at Han Sen .
“Second Uncle, is this appropriate?” Han Sen did not really trust Second Uncle, especially as he was apparently under the control of the enigmatic God . If he became an open enemy of the New Community, harm could be brought upon him .
“I have lived long enough . If I can do something to save the Ning family before I go, I will be satisfied,” Second Uncle said quietly .
“Okay, then . And by the way, can you tell me where the New Community is hiding out?” Han Sen asked .
