Abyssal Distortion Files

"Old Shen, who are those two people?"

"They look a bit suspicious."

Shen Xin followed the direction he pointed and looked over. "You mean them... I don't know the one on the left, but the one on the right, he's just an idiot."

He abandoned a promising future as if it were worn-out shoes. So many opportunities were laid out before him, yet he insisted on leaving the army to pursue that illusory ideal.

Wouldn't you say he's an idiot?

Shen Xin lit a cigarette, the smoke as ethereal as his thoughts. "He's almost thirty, still talking about ideals. Even if it is an ideal, a soldier's ideal should be to defend the country."

"If you alone could kill all the criminals, what would be the point of having police?"

"He's stubborn to a fault. If I were a cop, I wouldn't say much, I'd have pinned him down back then."

Shen Xin smiled helplessly, "But what can I do, we're comrades."

"So, I don't know what he did, and I don't want to know. As long as his face hasn't been posted online, I'll still consider him a brother."

Upon hearing this, the soldier beside him suddenly remembered something, "Isn't there a wanted notice recently?"

Shen Xin's gaze sharpened, "Don't talk nonsense. A person wearing a mask, can you say that person is him?"

"There are too many people with similar eyebrows and eyes when they wear a mask."

The soldier beside him fell silent. He didn't know Li Yang, but those in their unit with more than five years of service were all very close to that Li Yang.

They knew that Li Yang was the murderer, but they pretended to be ignorant, not only did they not report him, but they silently supported him.

"Forget it, it's nothing to do with me anyway."

"But even if you shield him, his identity will be exposed sooner or later, unless he really is an esper, like the rumors say."

Esper, huh...

Shen Xin looked at Li Yang. To be honest, he didn't really believe that Li Yang was some kind of esper, but if it wasn't an esper ability, then how could he explain what he did?

One person, one knife.

He could withstand the drug dealers' bullets and kill more than seventy people in a row?

Don't even mention him being a soldier for ten years, even if he was the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, it's impossible.

"Could it really be an esper ability?"

"First monsters, then espers, is the Earth about to change?"

...

Just as Li Yang and Zhou Mo were chatting idly, both of them seemed to sense something and stopped at the same time.

"Did you feel it?"

"You felt it too?"

"I'm more sensitive to souls, there's no helping it."

As Zhou Mo spoke, he looked at the ground directly in front of him, "Underground, very weak soul fluctuations... It should be a Light-type Lower Stage."

"First Order Lower Stage, huh."

Li Yang also sensed it, but he couldn't sense what level the other party was at. He only knew that the other party had metal on their body.

"Coming from underground, not a snake... Could it be that guy?"

Zhou Mo took a step forward, "Good timing, I'll just try out the souls I've refined recently...!".

「Get out of its body」

Qi Youluo's voice rang in his mind, and Zhou Mo's pupils instantly cleared up, "So you're watching, Sect Master."

「He's different from that guy next to you」

「Your ability comes directly from me, and my ability is the soul. In other words, I know all your actions and thoughts」

「Relax, don't be nervous」

「I'm doing it for your own good」

This is really familiar.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure broke out of the ground and came in front of the two of them. This person was none other than Wei Jing!

"I..."

Rumble!!

Li Yang didn't release his ability, but he signaled Zhou Mo to release the suppression on the soul, "Let him speak."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mo released the soul chains, and Wei Jing barely regained his breath, "Ha... haha, your leg is healed?"

"Did you hear that, the corpse is talking?" Zhou Mo looked at Li Yang.

Li Yang walked forward, "I don't really understand, are you here to die?"

Wei Jing grinned, "No, I'm here to help you kill the Ancestral Snake..."

Silence, indescribable silence.

He was the Ancestral Snake's Pact-Maker, and he had fought Li Yang fiercely before. Now he was saying that he was here to deal with the Ancestral Snake?

"Why don't you think about it again? After all, what you're about to say might be your last words," Zhou Mo said with a smile.

Li Yang looked into Wei Jing's eyes, "He's right, we don't need your help either. A negligible amount of strength is not worth a potential enemy."

Wei Jing smiled and said, "You're right, but what if I said... the Ancestral Snake wants to kill me now, and is very likely to chase after me!"

"What do you think?"

"I know you want to lure the Ancestral Snake out, and you're not confident, but as long as I'm here, the chance of the Ancestral Snake appearing will increase by 50%!"

Zhou Mo: "Why does the Ancestral Snake want to kill you?"

Wei Jing: "Because I said it was a worm."

Zhou Mo: "Then why do you want to kill the Ancestral Snake?"

Wei Jing: "Because it deserves to die."

At this time, a soldier came to the three of them.

He had just watched Wei Jing drill out of the ground and then fall to the ground with a 'thud'. What was going on?

Could he also be an esper?

No, why did I accept the setting of espers so easily?

"Who is he?"

Li Yang still didn't release his ability, and always used his ability to restrain Wei Jing. After all, this guy was just a groundhog, and once he let go, he would burrow into the ground and run away.

No one answered the soldier, Zhou Mo looked at Wei Jing with a smile.

"I suddenly have an idea."

"Didn't he say that the Ancestral Snake would look for him? In that case, why don't we bury him with the explosives underground?"

???

Wei Jing looked at Zhou Mo with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of doubt. He had seen many living Buddhas, but this was the first time he had seen a living King of Hell.

The soldier beside him was also dumbfounded, "What are you talking about?"

"What Ancestral Snake..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Mo snapped his fingers, and the soldier fainted just like that, "So noisy."

Pa!

Li Yang grabbed Zhou Mo's wrist, "What did you do?"

"I just let him sleep, that's all," Zhou Mo replied, "Don't you think I'm the kind of person who would kill innocent people at the drop of a hat?"

Li Yang released his right hand upon hearing this.

Zhou Mo turned around and walked back, "Since you don't trust me, then leave him to you to deal with, Sword Emperor."

These two people...

Wei Jing's gaze swept over the two of them, their relationship didn't seem that close, or rather... there was a gap between them?

It seemed that the relationship within the Church was not as good as he had imagined.

If that was the case, then the Prophet was right.
