Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 390 - 51: A Friendly Visit_2

The sanctuary in the mining area was already destroyed.

The nearby creatures also began to flee one by one.

These creatures did not seem too distressed, although they were shocked that there existed powerful beings in this world capable of dealing with the Judgment Chief.

They had originally wanted to escape elsewhere and only stayed here because of threats from the Ash Dragon and the Plague Source, living like slaves.

A huge portal was set up above the pit.

Qing JiuYu was excited during her first visit to the Pyramid, but Tang Xian seemed to be considering some problems, and a dragon, a fox, and a man all stood in front of the portal without moving.

Tang Xian frowned and meticulously went over the information that the Jiaolong had given him temporarily.

"Although this fortress accepts visitors, it is actually a closed fortress due to the network blockade," he said.

"What does that mean?" Qing JiuYu asked.

"The network is something humans use to transmit information. I will teach you how to use it when we have the chance in Baichuan City. This time we need to act low-key," Tang Xian replied.

"Low-key? Aren’t we just going to fight our way up?" Tang Feiji did not understand.

Currently, even the most fortified of the thirty-nine fortresses could do nothing against him; he didn’t take the other fortresses seriously at all.

"I indeed wish to resolve matters quickly, but in the future, the people under the pit will not have the chance to return to the Pyramid. Before that, I think they deserve a chance," he said.

...

...

The sanctuary fortress.

Another beautiful day was about to end.

The gifted individuals returning through the normal portal were cursing and complaining that mining was really not a job for humans.

At the same time, they discussed where to go for entertainment on which layer that night.

For the people from the first to the fifth layers, although it was just dusk, their work was mostly simple and relaxed.

They could already plan tonight’s activities in advance.

Ms. Lu was chatting with the neighbor’s mistress about some trivial matters.

The neighbor’s daughter was already eleven years old and had secretly done a talent test recently. Fortunately, she was talented and could go to the third layer to study for a few years.

Ms. Lu didn’t really want to discuss this subject, but Lu Chao’an, Lu Ming, the neighbor’s husband, and child were all playing together.

With the two housewives together, they could only chat, contributing to the conversation intermittently.

These days, Ms. Lu had been plagued by a recurring nightmare.

She dreamed that Lu Lingyi had grown up.

But the place was too dark, and Ms. Lu couldn’t see her daughter’s face clearly.

She could only see a silhouette with faint lights in its eyes.

She didn’t know how her daughter had been living these years. Although the dream’s scene was dark, what she imagined was another picture entirely.

Perhaps in some sun-scorched place, working day and night?

No one had been to the other portal.

They only knew it led to an unknown mining area.

They lived a comfortable life in the Pyramid, guiltless or guilty in conscience.

Everyone’s perception of the mining area was that it was harsh and severe.

But in reality, they did not know that at the deepest part of that world, there were places that were a thousand times worse.

What they considered harsh, was even the paradise that those exiles yearned for.

Ms. Lu thought again of another dream.

The stranger wearing a mask.

Was that really just a dream?

Speaking of which, some of Song’s belongings were still stored at her place, although they were just some clothes. She figured he would eventually come to collect them.

These days, Ms. Lu had been feeling uneasy. She always felt as if Song had not come down from the sixth layer for a week because something had happened.

She even wondered if the person sent down from above to the other portal that day was Song.

Regarding this, Lu Chao’an mockingly said that this woman just loves to imagine things.

After all, that place held the non-gifted, while Song Que was one of the strongest gifted individuals in this world.

Ms. Lu still felt it was strange.

She always felt that something big was going to happen.

Mother and daughter share a bond.

She believed that dreaming every day was because something happened to Lu Lingyi.

But she could only pray and couldn’t do anything else.

Her eyelids kept twitching, always feeling that a significant event was imminent.

For some reason, she became reluctant to engage with the neighbor’s mistress and instead turned to look at the distant dark portal.

It was still covered by a large curtain.

But suddenly, she was stunned.

"Ms. Wu, what’s the matter? You look as if you’ve seen a ghost," the neighbor said curiously.

The neighbor was curious why Ms. Wu was acting so startled.

She followed Mrs. Wu’s gaze.

All she saw were three strangers.

A woman so beautiful it stirred jealousy, and a man as valiant as a dragon.

In comparison, the person in the lead seemed quite ordinary.

"Do you know these three? That woman is really pretty. They must be from another fortress, right?" the neighbor said.

Mrs. Wu looked back, surprised, then suddenly realized that her neighbor hadn’t witnessed the scene she had.

Not long ago, Mrs. Wu had seen these three step out from the portal that no one had ever come out of before.

She felt as if she had seen a ghost and couldn’t utter a word.

The area where Lu Chao’an and his family lived was quite close to the portal.

The ones who had come out of the curtained portal were naturally Qing JiuYu, Tang Xian, and Tang Feiji.

This trio, a human, a dragon, and a fox, quickly arrived in the residential area.

Tang Xian was a perceptive person, and he could always quickly sense when someone’s gaze fell upon him.

He looked towards Mrs. Lu.

After scrutinizing for a few seconds, Tang Xian saw an intriguing panel.

"The greatest irony in this world is people committing murder and arson, while at the same time repenting their sins."

Tang Xian was just talking to himself, Mrs. Wu didn’t hear what he said; she just saw Tang Xian smile in their direction, like a friendly passerby.

"This is the place that little girl sustains?" Tang Feiji said.

"Yes," Tang Xian replied.

"Sustain?" Qing JiuYu still did not quite understand.

"Before rescuing you, Tang Feiji and I went underground, right beneath the portal, where humans live. They mine day and night to provide the energy needed by the Pyramid."

Tang Feiji snorted coldly:

"Truly a stupid and cruel race."

"Humans have their flaws, as well as goodness and beauty, and humanity certainly cannot be simply summarized by what is good or ugly. Even for these people."

Tang Xian wasn’t defending them, but after all, they were still humans.

When dealing with beasts, he could be ruthless.

When dealing with humans, Tang Xian tended to be more forgiving.

Along the way, Tang Xian noticed that the defenses in the Holy Land fortress were rather lax.

Of course, the public order here was superb to the point of disbelief.

This peace, where part of the population is completely oppressed while the other part freely enjoys life, was filled with ironic meaning.

He calmly headed for the second layer.

At the entrance to the layer, the guards prepared to check Tang Xian’s identification. Qing JiuYu and Tang Feiji were incredibly quick, efficiently knocking them out.

...

...

The sixth layer. The entire network of the Holy Land fortress could only interact with the outside world from the sixth layer.

But the equipment on this layer could only be used by Zhuo He, the lord of the fortress.

Zhuo He’s favorite daily activity was watching surveillance footage from all around.

Seeing people live in happiness and contentment, it felt that although it was a beast, it could still lead humans very well.

With its own efforts, it had almost created a sanctuary where everyone was happy.

It also restricted those true non-gifted beings who could live and establish a new civilization in the mining area.

Intoxicated by its achievements, Zhuo He felt increasingly blissful.

But these days had been troublesome; it had been receiving emails from the Song Family of the first fortress.

Zhuo He checked the calendar. Song Que should have been thoroughly dead by this afternoon.

It was planning how to fabricate the news of Song Que’s death.

At this moment, its gaze suddenly fell on a certain spot among the dozens of surveillance screens. Experience more tales on novelbuddy

The image on the screen made Zhuo He doubt its own eyes.

It widened its eyes and replayed the footage.

The guards on the fifth layer had been knocked down.

Those guards were among the more potent of the gifted, yet in less than a second, about ten of them had all fallen to the ground.

Zhuo He wasn’t panicked; after all, no matter how strong humans are, how could they face itself, a catastrophe-level being?

But how had these people arrived?

It was personally responsible for visas and did not remember approving these three. There hadn’t been any foreigners visiting the fortress in the past few days.

Zhuo He watched the surveillance video footage, and at this time, the man in the video seemed to know he was being watched.

The man cocked his head, his eyes looking straight at the surveillance camera.

Zhuo He suddenly felt a chill.

The man politely smiled at the camera and even waved his hand.
