Chapter 885: Chapter 276 Clown’s Shadow Trick_2
Noah Wright shook his head and said, “If you were contaminated, it would have been impossible for you to come out of the Mysterious Realm.”
As he spoke, he looked at Reuel Bible and said, “If I’m not mistaken, that ‘Contamination Source’ must be sealed within you.”
Upon hearing these words, Reuel Bible’s brain instantly throbbed with pain, as if a thought was urging him to leave this place quickly.
Killing intent uncontrollably surged throughout his body, also revealing itself.
Yet his expression clearly showed struggle, as if this behavior conflicted with certain deep-seated beliefs.
This conflict was incredibly violent; the sturdy man looked as though he was fighting with himself, already drenched in sweat in a blink of an eye.
...
At this moment, Reuel Bible seemed to be suppressing a fierce beast within his heart, emitting a low growl from his throat.
His eyes, at times, appeared bewildered, at others, crystal clear.
He suddenly looked up, as if he could no longer suppress certain thoughts, and asked angrily, “What the hell is going on?!”
Seeing this, Noah Wright also came to a realization and said, “Count Nikola altered your cognition to let you escape with the Contamination Source. Sadly, what he didn’t know was that before acting, you predicted you might be influenced, so you solidified some of your deep-seated beliefs, among them an ‘absolute trust in me.’ This conflicts with the cognition that was later altered. That’s why you’re in conflict.”
“…”
Reuel Bible, as though stimulated by these words, trembled all over.
A voice inside his heart was urging him he must leave!!!
MUST!!!
“Shut up!”
Reuel Bible bellowed.
That shout, it seemed, was directed at himself.

He ultimately couldn’t suppress the lethal aura within him, and it burst forth.
However, just as he was about to lose control, Reuel Bible bit his tongue sharply, spraying out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes instantly cleared.
He concentrated his Curse Power inward and, almost grinding his teeth, uttered in a low voice, “All Evil Spirits…Sealed Off!”
In an instant, the crimson killing aura that had not yet gone berserk rushed back into his body.
As two powers collided within him, comparable to taking a hit from a top-tier powerhouse, he couldn’t help spitting out another mouthful of blood with a burning throat: “Puh~”
Reuel Bible’s overall presence plummeted by ninety percent, and the rampage of killing intent vanished completely in a flash.
He chose to seal himself off to avoid losing control and going berserk.
Watching Reuel Bible self-inflict such heavy damage as expected, Noah Wright murmured, “Captain…”
Reuel Bible shook his head, unconcerned about his own injuries.
As Mushroomhead said, he had an intuition at the bottom of his heart; he chose to trust his former assistant.
After a few heavy breaths, he managed to suppress his injuries and asked, “So, what exactly happened?”
With profound eyes, Noah Wright explained, “Count Nikola knew he had no hope of escaping the Mysterious Realm, so there was only one chance to take the ‘Contamination Source’ out. He could bet on you or someone else. He dared not bet whether I had the means to confirm the jar’s location, putting it on someone else. If discovered, the plan would certainly fail. But you, Captain, are not only strong and resourceful, but you also know my character. Even if discovered, as long as I hesitated, you would have a great chance of escaping…”
“Got it.”
Reuel Bible responded very calmly.
After pondering for a moment, he looked up and asked, “So, do I have to die?”
Upon hearing this, Noah Wright fell into a rare silence.
During the conversation, Reuel Bible’s gaze remained as still as an ancient well on the person in front of him.
It was as if he saw the curious Mushroomhead they had first met.
He smiled frankly, “If that’s the case… please kill me immediately.”
That smile seemed more like encouragement.
Even at the crossroads of life and death, he did not hesitate.
This was his idea of justice.
Unwavering.
Noah Wright closed his eyes, and after a long time, said, “I don’t know.”
Although this operation wiped out most of the Crimson Believers’ high-ranking members, including Count Nikola, there were still some remnants outside.
He could be certain that Count Nikola must have left a contingency plan.
The current situation was such that killing Reuel Bible might allow them to get the jar and then figure out a way to deal with it.
If they did not kill him, and he stayed alive, he would either be contaminated or contaminate others.
Sooner or later, he would become a bomb ready to explode.
That Noah Wright hesitated meant that Count Nikola’s objective had already been achieved.
…
“Little Garcia, do you know when the exit of this Mysterious Realm will close?”
“It should be after sunset.”
“Which means, we have about ten hours left?”
“Yes.”
“I plan to try using the ‘Advanced shadow.’
“Ah? But that’s very dangerous.”
“…”
Elsewhere, within the Mysterious Realm, Leonard Churchill and Tracy Garcia tidied up the remaining materials on the altar.
Aside from the contaminated items, there were many extraordinary materials.
Magic Cores, Energy Baryte, high-purity Crystal Stone, Blood Pattern Steel, Abyss Copper…
Many were top-notch items from the X Bureau’s warehouse.
Leonard Churchill happily stuffed them into his Storage Ring.
Those from Orlan Royal Court presumably knew the situation was settled and that they couldn’t kill Tracy Garcia, so they retreated quietly.
Leonard Churchill did not find the jar in the altar and guessed that it was most likely taken by someone else.
But he didn’t dwell on it too much.
If he could think of this, so could the Pursuer of Light.
Therefore, there must be someone watching the exit for any fish that slipped the net; it was unnecessary to worry.
And with the “Sinless City Incident” causing such a stir, the Federation’s top brass were already alarmed, and the X Bureau would undergo a major cleansing.
