Chapter 670: Chapter 308: The Plane on the Verge of Collapse (Part 2)

To be able to deliver Amber back to the orphanage alive was already a narrow escape, perhaps with significant losses to both people and things, asking her to maintain calm under such circumstances was rather unreasonable.

After receiving confirmation from Wu Chang, and seeing the recommendation letter from Amber’s class teacher, Susan had Amber change into the volunteer’s outfit and work with the other teachers in the orphanage.

Once Amber left, Wu Chang inquired about Amber’s potential to become the head of the orphanage.

To this, Director Susan, although recognizing Amber’s intentions, did not believe Amber was suitable. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

When Wu Chang asked for reasons, Director Susan used vague words, merely stating that Amber lacked respect for the gods and would even blame them for her own issues, this mindset was not suitable for the role of the orphanage’s director.

Although Susan’s words were unclear, Wu Chang understood her meaning.

At the end of Sister Amanda’s resentment, when Amber kicked the fallen statue, it happened to be witnessed by Sister Susan who walked in.

Susan’s opinion on Amber, besides the disasters she caused that killed her sister, also included Amber’s disrespect for the divine.

However, Wu Chang did not care about this point, there are many gods; once Cursed becomes his private world, with Erin as the sole god in that plane, who would understand the divine more than them?

Mavira previously believed Amber had existential anxiety, suggesting she should find her own value and face the fear of returning to the starting point.

Amber would return to the orphanage each time she finished her adoption process.

Working as a volunteer at the orphanage perfectly aligned with Mavira’s two suggestions.

After three hours of volunteer practice, upon leaving the orphanage, Wu Chang felt Amber’s mental status had improved considerably, the black thorn bracelet on her wrist had lightened somewhat, prompting him to praise Mavira’s miraculous touch.

That night, Amber still had a nightmare, but she only furrowed her brows in her sleep without waking up from it.

Late at night, the Curse Mark locked onto No. 26 Garden Street was not as troublesome as the day before, when a truck passed by, its front tire burst, losing control and careening towards the house, Wu Chang effortlessly stopped it in time.

The next morning, no third Curse Mark appeared on Amber’s body, and her spirits were much better, which made both Wu Chang and Erin breathe a sigh of relief.

Continuing in this vein, as long as he and Erin guarded the school and home, Amber would soon overcome the fourth Heart Demon.

The world maintains equilibrium, just like smiles never disappear but shift from one person’s face to another’s.

When Wu Chang and Erin felt relieved, there would be someone else tensing up.

Lin Jiang stared at the lotus in his hand, his face turned pale as the lotus neared withering, seemingly on the verge of dying, but upon close inspection, the petals, still wrinkled, appeared more vibrant in color than the previous day.

How could it be possible!

This lotus represented the stability of the Cursed Dungeon; if it completely withered, it would mean the Dungeon World had collapsed.

He couldn’t believe that the Dungeon World, originally on the brink of collapse, had stopped deteriorating and showed signs of improvement.

Before coming here, Lord Mercury clearly told him that the closer Cursed approaches a breakthrough, the easier the World Will would collapse.

When the world’s collapse hangs by a thread, he could effortlessly capture the World Will by triggering the hidden thunder, making Cursed the Pillar of the Present World.

According to the plan, he had already triggered the monsters born within the dungeon and even doubled the detonation of the Dark Thunder, yet why hadn’t the World Will collapsed on its own? Why would Lord Mercury deceive us!

After a brief panic, Lin Jiang forced himself to regain calm.

Having progressed to this point, he had no path of retreat, even if he realized discrepancies, he had no choice but to press forward.

First believe, then continue to believe!

If the collapse of the World Will was reversing, it implied that he hadn’t triggered enough Dark Thunder.

Lin Jiang squinted his eyes, glancing at Dragon Armor nearby.

Dragon Armor, currently checking a part-time location, shivered, feeling a cold shiver down his spine as he turned to meet Lin Jiang’s smiling expression.

Lin Jiang walked toward him, took a deep breath, and then bowed to him.

Dragon Armor couldn’t comprehend this, as he had always been dissatisfied with Lin Jiang’s strategy of waiting for doom. The previous argument leaving their atmosphere tense, he did not expect Lin Jiang to suddenly make such a move.

Is he yielding?

After bowing, Lin Jiang took out the lotus in his hand and sincerely stated:

"Mr. Dragon Armor, I apologize for my previous words, indeed my blind faith in the Bright Society clouded my judgment. Compared to yesterday, the state of the World Will has improved, if we wait any longer, you and I might truly end up waiting for death."

Receiving recognition from Lin Jiang made Dragon Armor want to smile, but he also felt that to smile simply because he was recognized would make him seem inferior to Lin Jiang.

Thus he could only restrain his upturned lips, saying with an "I told you so" expression: "So, what are you planning to do now?"

Lin Jiang lowered himself significantly, saying:

"Due to my misjudgment, I have led everyone into a predicament, it’s entirely my responsibility. But since the matter has come to this, we still need to find a way to leave alive."

"Our greatest enemy blocking our departure is Peace; I’ve heard he’s preparing for the mayoral election, if we continue to let him develop, there will be no room for us in Sigef City."

Though Dragon Armor did not like Lin Jiang, he could not find fault in this statement.

Lin Jiang, Plum, and he were all integrated with dungeon monsters, acquiring additional attribute advantages.
