I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1306 - 310: Big Brother... Hurry Up... I’m Scared (4)
"Are you sure?"
"Certain, everything we’ve said is true, not a single lie. If I’m lying, may the heavens strike me down and may I die a horrible death."
Wang Baorun is truly terrified of Lin Fan.
This fear comes from deep within, so he doesn’t dare to hide anything and reveals it all truthfully.
"Very well, I have something I need your help with, if you’re willing." Lin Fan gently asks, acting very friendly, to start calming their fearful hearts.
He hopes they won’t be too tense from now on, as it would be detrimental to future developments.
"Willing, we’re willing."
No hesitation at all, the answer is decisive.
"Given your situation, surviving is really difficult, but I’m giving you a chance to atone while wearing your crimes, to let you live well. Are you willing?" Lin Fan doesn’t mention the task but rather starts from another angle.
"Willing, we are willing to atone for our crimes. Honestly, our hearts yearn for light, but the dark hands always drag us, causing terrible harm to our bodies and minds. Now that we’ve met you, you are a ray of sunlight in the darkness, leading us to the path of light."
Wang Baorun’s CPU is already seriously overheating.
He says everything he can think of.
Gu Hang and the others seem to have already thought of the situation Lin Fan described, pondering carefully, and if it’s like this, it might not be impossible.
"Very well, then just pretend you never met me, and I become a survivor tricked by you. How about you take me back and hand me over to someone from the headquarters?" Lin Fan shares his idea.
"Huh?"
Wang Baorun blinks, looking at Lin Fan with confusion, "How is that even possible? It’s not that we don’t want to, but everyone knows your face now, so if I take you back, they’d recognize you in an instant."
When Lin Fan pulled out Frostmourne, Wang Baorun and the others were so frightened their faces turned pale. It wasn’t until they saw Lin Fan put Frostmourne on the ground that they breathed a sigh of relief.
Goodness, I almost got scared to death by you.
They thought Lin Fan drew Frostmourne to cut them down.
"I won’t bring Frostmourne, and my face will be wrapped in bandages. I’ll just say I’m injured. How about that?" Lin Fan asked.
Wang Baorun shook his head, "It’s useless. The organization is particularly strict about this, no matter the situation, they must see the face. It wasn’t like this before, but ever since the headquarters learned you were looking for them, they’ve become especially strict."
Lin Fan didn’t expect the Mutant Organization to be so cautious.
They truly fear him.
In this situation, Lin Fan thinks that to find the Mutant Organization, he can’t possibly disfigure his face. Although he wants to eliminate the organization, not to that extent yet.
He wonders, if this plan doesn’t work, is there another option?
Tan Qing said, "Let me go. Your appearance is recorded in the Zombie Album, but they don’t know mine, and at my current level of ability, I can protect myself."
Lin Fan waved his hand, "Don’t take risks, I don’t want the people around me to take risks. The mutant headquarters can’t be underestimated; there are strong mutants over there, and you’re no match."
He knows that what Tan Qing suggested is indeed a way.
But it’s too dangerous.
Wang Baorun said, "It’s really dangerous, they’re very smart and strict during inspections. Ever since you started looking for the headquarters’ location, all audits are stricter than ever before."
Lin Fan gazes into Wang Baorun’s eyes, knowing he isn’t lying.
Rejected, Tan Qing said, "But it’s the only feasible way."
"There’s no need for that, and there’s no rush to find the headquarters location," Lin Fan said.
Seeing Lin Fan’s unwillingness to agree, Tan Qing didn’t push further, not even considering doing such a thing behind Lin Fan’s back, realizing that acting alone without proper cooperation is foolish.
"So...is the opportunity to atone with crimes gone? Can we still live?" Wang Baorun asked cautiously.
Lin Fan said, "Honestly, do you think you mutants have a future?"
"Future?"
"That’s right, in the future where I exist, I’ll keep finding the mutant headquarters. When I do, do you think those mutants will have a future?"
"None."
Wang Baorun answered sincerely, acknowledging that there is no future.
To his knowledge, no mutant can stand against Lin Fan, and encountering him would only mean death.
"Very good. I’m willing to give you a chance to live. I’ll give you two satellite phones, and you return to your so-called Perfect Mutant Alliance. When you encounter innocent survivors being captured, you inform me, okay?"
"This..."
Wang Baorun thought, this is making them spies over there.
If discovered, they’d definitely die miserably.
"You were probably ordinary people in peaceful times, working diligently, earning money, and respecting your parents. Now that the apocalypse has come, you become like this because the times push you to be like this, not because you willingly wanted to. Though you’ve done many wrong things, the chance for atonement still exists."
"Ask yourselves, do you really want to become something neither human nor ghost in this apocalypse?"
Lin Fan is willing to give those who’ve erred a chance, except for those truly heinous, otherwise generally, he wouldn’t deliberately hand them over to Officer Huang.
