I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 394 - 52: Rising Wolf Smoke

"Clang——"

As the last piano note dissipated into the night sky, the entire camp fell into a strange tranquility.

People looked at each other as if just waking from a long dream.

Their eyes were clear, and gentle smiles played on their lips; even the tense atmosphere that had filled the air vanished without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented calm.

On the stage, Mokaka gently closed the piano lid as the light on her cat-ear headphones gradually dimmed.

She glanced around, looking at the faces transformed by the music, a slight smile gracing her lips.

This was her song of redemption composed for the Floating Island, a light of hope woven from notes.

She had once worried...whether these notes truly possessed such a powerful effect to steer people towards good, whether they could completely save this prison.

But now it seemed, those worries were completely unnecessary.

As long as she heeded the "voice" that occasionally popped into her head, inspired by that strange voice to continuously compose chapters, she could easily save others.

This was her unique ability.

"Phew~"

She exhaled deeply, wiping the fine sweat from her forehead with her hand.

Seeing this, Tian En hurriedly came over, handing her a cup of pre-prepared milk tea.

"Lady Mokaka, you've worked hard!"

While speaking, she didn't forget to take out a clean handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Mokaka, who resembled a little cat.

Mokaka wasn't shy either, enjoying Tian En's service, sipping a big gulp of iced milk tea.

"Not too hard, just a bit mentally exhausting."

"If I just rest for a few minutes, I should be able to start playing the second piece."

While speaking, Mokaka suddenly noticed that Tian En, the little maid, didn't seem to show much "appreciation" emotion.

Unlike those who, after hearing a piece, couldn't forget it for a long time...even falling into a state of contemplation, Tian En remained unchanged from start to finish, still as gentle and obedient, focusing entirely on Mokaka herself.

"Xiao En, do you dislike this type of music?"

Mokaka stirred the pearls in the milk tea, asking quietly: "Why do you seem to have no big reaction? Just like Wu Ming."

"Uh..."

Tian En was slightly taken aback but quickly reacted, smiling widely.

"Maybe it's because I've been around you for so long, I've already learned your kind spirit, and my character has been influenced to be non-competitive and peace-loving, which is why the music doesn't change me."

"After all, your music persuades people to do good, and if someone is inherently kind and gentle, the music may not have much effect."

Hearing this explanation, Mokaka lightly nodded.

"That's indeed reasonable..."

"Sigh, Xiao En, you're still the best. If everyone on the Floating Island were like you, I wouldn't have to work so hard to change them."

"But it's okay."

The girl shrugged, unconcerned: "Precisely because they commit arson and robbery, my music has the opportunity to play its part in changing others."

"If they weren't evil, who could highlight our greatness and brilliance?"

"Such high-difficulty tasks are what make completion meaningful!"

Seeing Mokaka's somewhat "narcissistic" expression, Tian En didn't reply, just chuckled and shook her head.

"Ugh... Haven't had the head chef's roast duck from home in so long, once we return, I must have plenty."

Mokaka stretched lazily, simultaneously patting Tian En's shoulder, whispering: "By then, I'll take you, Xiao En, to see the world..."

"..."

"Boom!"

Before her words could fully settle, a loud noise, accompanied by a massive shockwave, appeared above everyone's heads, interrupting Mokaka's words and completely shattering the hard-earned peace in the camp.

Instinctively, everyone looked up and saw a scene they would never forget...

They saw a massive shadow, flying towards the camp's energy shield at an astonishing speed.

Was that...a cannonball?!

No, this was by no means an ordinary cannonball, but a human cannonball compressed from dozens of corpses! The corpses' limbs were tangled at bizarre angles, and their empty eye sockets seemed to linger with fears of their past lives, blood seeping from the corpses' cracks, trailing a crimson trajectory in the air.

"Boom——!!"

Amidst the deafening impact sound, the human cannonball slammed heavily against the energy shield.

The corpses shattered instantly upon impact, and flesh and organs exploded like fireworks, with viscous blood slowly flowing down the barrier, forming shocking trails.

A head was precisely caught in a crack of the shield, staring intently at the people in the square, its lips holding a creepy smile, remarkably similar to those who had put down their weapons because of the music.

"Screech..."

The energy shield emitted an unbearable rumble, spiderweb-like cracks appeared instantly where it was hit. An ear-piercing alarm blared throughout the entire sanctuary, and the holographic cat ear pattern turned into a blood-red warning signal.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The Mercenary Captain's mechanical eye flickered red, his voice echoed across the square through the amplification system.

However, at the same time, a second human cannonball streaked through the night sky!

"Boom!!"

This time, it hit the crack in the shield precisely.

With a loud bang, the energy shield finally crumbled under the strain, shattering into countless light particles, dissipating into the air.

"Ha ha ha!"

A maddening laugh came from the distance, shouting loudly with a sigh-filled tone: "Your Utopia has ended, now it's time for slaughter!"

With those words, a massive cloud of dust rose from the distant horizon, like a sandstorm ready to devour everything.

At first, it was just a blurry shadow, but as the distance closed, the figures of the marauders became clearer.

Their attire resembled savages emerging from ancient tribes, yet they bore a chilling modern distortion... The leader, nearly three meters tall, lay on a couch carried by slaves, his upper body covered in dried blood, forming eerie totems, as if recounting countless massacres.

Among the marauders' ranks, there were hardly any normal people, only a diverse array of madmen!

A burly man wearing a pig mask brandishing a blood-stained butcher knife; a bandaged thin man, with dark red liquid seeping from under the bandages, holding an electric shock gun; a woman in a tattered wedding dress, skirt caked with dirt and blood, clutching a bouquet made of human teeth.

Their eyes glinted with greed and frenzy in the dust, like starving beasts seeing prey, their steps chaotic yet filled with oppressiveness, with every step making the ground slightly tremble...

"Blood! Blood! Blood!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Burn their paradise! Let blood stain this land!"

And in their center, a giant vehicle made of trash and scrap metal appeared prominently.

Approximately forty to fifty meters in length and width, as tall as ten buildings! Equipped with heavy all-terrain tracks at the bottom, and a shockingly thick cannon barrel at the top, with wisps of gray smoke and a dense smell of blood emanating from the muzzle.

"It's the Garbage Mountain Cannon!"

Mokaka's pupils slightly contracted, instinctively wanting to send out the guards, but then suddenly remembered the stealthy assassin.

If he took advantage of the chaos to assassinate the guards, wouldn't that make the situation even worse?

After much contemplation, the girl could only direct her gaze at one person.

Yun You.

Perhaps only Yun You, with her immense individual strength, could fearlessly confront the hidden assassin and take the initiative...
