Abyss Sequence-Chapter 368 - 25: Return to Blue Star
Yan Luo and Wang Lingyu returned, on the third day after the convoy returned to Gass City.
Hearing the sounds inside the big house, as soon as Yan Luo parked the armored vehicle, Wang Lingyu opened the car door and jumped down, rushing towards the big house.
"Haha! I’m back!"
Wang Lingyu opened the door and shouted into the house.
It just so happened that Helena was sitting in the living room playing cards with the team members. Hearing Wang Lingyu’s voice, she looked up and smiled, "Xiaoyu, you look good. You two didn’t do... that thing outside surrounded by so many demons, did you?"
Wang Lingyu quickly shook her head, "Although I really like Yan Luo, it’s impossible to do such things in that place. Besides, even if I wanted to, Yan Luo would stop me." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
She’s not some naive child who only thinks about her own pleasure and disregards everything else.
Having a wild fling amidst hordes of demons is something only a fool would do.
Even Helena, who has a sexual addiction, restrains herself during Abyss hunting, forces herself to endure, and even resorts to self-harm if she really can’t take it.
Thinking of mating during an Abyss hunt is just harming oneself and others.
Helena laughed heartily, "Since you and Yan Luo are back, we should return to Blue Star too."
Wang Lingyu blinked, suddenly realizing something was off, pointing at Helena in surprise, "Sister Hai, why are you here?"
Though her name is Helena, being called ’Sister Hai’ doesn’t bother her at all.
Helena smiled and repeated their earlier experiences to Wang Lingyu, just as Yan Luo walked in from outside the door and heard it too.
"I see!" Wang Lingyu suddenly understood.
Yan Luo was more straightforward, "Then let’s pack up and head back this afternoon."
He seemed more anxious than anyone else.
But Yan Luo has always been a decisive person, never procrastinating. If something can be done promptly, he will do it promptly; he won’t even sleep on revenge. Even if there were no opportunity, he would create one to seek revenge.
Helena was used to Yan Luo’s style of doing things, immediately stood up, abandoning a card game she was about to lose, ignoring the members’ complaints of ’Captain, you’re cheating,’ and urged them to start packing their luggage right away.
Sasa received Yan Luo’s signal, immediately came down from upstairs, approached Yan Luo, and told him about Yulia’s decision.
Hearing this, Yan Luo indeed furrowed his brows.
"Has Ms. Bilyukova really decided to extract the nanomachines from her body?"
This is a very painful thing, unbearable for the average person.
Even young Engravers might faint from pain during the extraction of nanomachines constituting their engravings, or even die due to the agony. Yulia is now advanced in age, and doing something like this, Yan Luo is very worried if she can endure it.
"Ms. Bilyukova told me she used her connections to find a Prayer Lord to look after her."
[Priest] Second Rank, [Prayer Lord].
This is a sequence specialized in auxiliary abilities. Generally, they rarely become Hunters, instead directly entering the medical system to become doctors.
However, [Priests] are not without offensive capabilities. Their ’curse’ effects are very powerful. If someone dares to provoke them, they may suffer unbearable retribution.
The vast majority of Engravers are Hunters, because Engravers need to hunt demons to grow. But the [Priest] sequence is different. As long as someone is detected with this sequence affinity, they are recruited into the medical system, which provides Magic Crystals to enhance their engravings.
But using Magic Crystals to enhance engravings is ultimately a minor path, and to this day, no Engraver has ever used Magic Crystals to upgrade themselves to Sequence Three.
An Engraver who can become a [Prayer Lord] surely must have been a Hunter.
The auxiliary abilities of [Prayer Lords] are powerful, making them more suitable than the treatment-specialized [Redemption Angels] for Yulia’s next move.
If there is a [Prayer Lord] watching over her, then perhaps Yulia’s actions might actually have a chance of success.
"What do you think is the likelihood of your plan succeeding?" Yan Luo asked Sasa.
He referred to ’guiding nerve growth with willpower into engravings.’
Sasa sighed, "At most thirty percent."
After all, it was a conception pieced together from scattered clues, so Sasa wasn’t sure.
Yan Luo was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Since Ms. Bilyukova has made her decision, then we just need to support her. She seems easygoing, but in fact, I can see she shares many similarities with me. Once she decides on something, she is sure to do it."
It was because of seeing this that Yan Luo did not think to stop Yulia.
Besides, he had no reason to stop her.
Yulia had made it quite clear; she wanted to advance to Sequence One. This is her last chance; if she misses it, she has no chance of becoming Sequence One.
This is Yulia’s wish. Others have no reason to rashly criticize.
Sasa sighed.
Since Yan Luo has said so, they can only take it one step at a time...
......
The convoy returned from Alfheim with many specialties of Alfheim. Once they sold these specialties, they could earn more than five times the money from the sold goods.
Currently, Blue Star has limited knowledge about Elves. Many people are very interested in the specialties of Alfheim. Even just to satisfy their curiosity, many people will spend a lot of money to buy Elf products.
It was another profitable trade journey where many in the team were satisfied and contacted Wu Zechuan, wanting to increase their investment.
The Pension Association felt a crisis in the closer relations between Wu Zechuan’s Crimson No.2 and the Bao Han Company and also noticed that the alliance of Crimson No.2 Merchants had earned an amount approaching their own in this trade journey. Thus, they started thinking of ways to repair their relationship with Wu Zechuan.
Wu Zechuan, however, maintained an ambiguous attitude, neither accepting the Pension Association’s flattery nor completely rejecting them, which made the Pension Association feel angry, realizing that Wu Zechuan wanted to keep them in suspense.
Yet, they had no way to deal with it.
The key to opening the Alfheim space channel was in Yan Luo’s hands, and Yan Luo’s strength was becoming increasingly unfathomable. Taking the key from him was almost like pipe dream.
So the Pension Association could only swallow its pride and endure the bitterness it brought upon itself.
After returning to Blue Star, Yulia contacted an old friend, only to hear the shocking news that this old friend had died a few days ago.
Without a [Prayer Lord] watching over her, can she recover quickly after extracting the nanomachines from her body?
Wu Zechuan learned of Yulia’s intentions from Yan Luo, and he also knew about the [Prayer Lord]’s death.
After all, it was a Sequence Two Engraver, and also a [Prayer Lord]; surely there would be news reports.
Knowing that Yulia had lost her support, he took it upon himself to find a caretaker for Yulia.
"Ms. Bilyukova, although the caretaker I found is not a [Prayer Lord], it’s a Sequence Three from the [Priest] sequence, with six engravings, so they should be able to help you."
Without a [Prayer Lord], a Sequence Three will have to do!
Yulia quickly adjusted her mindset, agreeing to Wu Zechuan’s help.
Upon receiving Wu Zechuan’s message, Lan Cuifu, the director of the Engraving Treatment Department at the city hospital, rushed from Lingquan City but hadn’t seen her ’patient’ yet. Upon entering, she rudely addressed Wu Zechuan, "You big idiot, who do you think I am? Am I still one of your members? I’m now a department head at the city hospital, understand? Do you think you can just call me as you please?"
Just as she finished speaking, Lan Cuifu saw Yulia sitting across from Wu Zechuan. Her expression suddenly froze, her mouth hanging open, unable to utter a single word.
Wu Zechuan stood up, smiling as he introduced, "This lady you should recognize, [The World’s Strongest Woman] Ms. Yulia Ivanovna Bilyukova, is the person you will be assisting next."
Lan Cuifu blinked, coming to her senses, and pulled Wu Zechuan aside.
"What are you all planning to do? She doesn’t seem unhealthy at all."
Wu Zechuan chuckled, "Ms. Bilyukova wants to extract her engravings, which requires your assistance."
