Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 273 - 86 Holy Sound

Chapter 273: 86 Holy Sound

One month later.

Yuri stood before the Order Sword, as towering as the once Sky Tower, and lit himself a cigarette.

“You smoke during work hours now?”

A woman’s voice came from behind him. Yuri turned his head to see Ina standing there with her arms folded, looking rather leisurely.

“I’m a civilian employee now,” Yuri waved the cigarette in his hand, “and besides, the Devil’s Army is disbanded, isn’t it?”

“…Yes.”

Ina walked up to stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder.

From their vantage point, they could overlook most of Lyra City.

The disaster a month ago had nearly destroyed everything in the city, but now much had improved, and the reconstruction was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Ina looked up towards the Order Sword.

Its massive blade cut through the harsh sunlight, allowing them to stand in a cool shadow. They could sense the warmth of the sun without it being too hot to bear.

“Lyra no longer needs devils,” she said softly.

After the God of Eternal Life disappeared (from their perspective), the pollution in the Pollution Zone began to greatly decrease, and the once seemingly endless Abyss was shrinking rapidly.

If the decay continued at this rate, it wouldn’t take many years for the Polluted Land to completely disappear.

Then, there would be no more need for Night Star, the Devil, or the Pioneer Forces, as everyone knew what was inside and no one wanted to experience such a disaster again.

But what Lyra now didn’t need was just the Pioneer Force, not the armed forces.

On the contrary, this was the time when Lyra needed its armed forces the most since its establishment.

Because during the disaster, the Lyra God was grievously injured, his power greatly diminished. The five Sky Towers that once stood tall in the city, including their auxiliary towers, all collapsed, leaving only the Order Sword as the biggest symbol.

They could still use mechanical creations, but only on a very limited scale. The gear trains were all destroyed, heavy machinery equipment had mostly come to a halt, and even the limbs of the people of Lyra had lost their “Overload” capability, retaining only the most basic functions and couldn’t be used too frequently.

Because the Source Oil had also run out.

So at the moment, Lyra was at its weakest.

Yuri raised his head to look to the distance, the direction out of the city.

There, many people were leaving with their families, limping away like migrating ants.

“Are that many people still leaving?” Yuri asked.

“It’s much less compared to the beginning,” Ina said, “but hundreds are leaving every day.”

Yuri sighed softly.

Every day since the disaster, people had been leaving the city.

There were many reasons for leaving, but the main one was that the city no longer restricted them.

So after experiencing such and other series of events, the people of Lyra finally wanted to see the outside world.

“Do you think they’ll come back?” Ina asked.

“I don’t know,” Yuri shook his head, “I’ve been to other cities, if it were in the past, I could have said with certainty that Lyra was the best, but now…”

Ina didn’t say anything, but she understood what Yuri meant.

Lyra now had weakened Divine Power, a decline in technology, and even a large number of people became disabled after their mechanical limbs were destroyed and couldn’t be repaired.

No one knew what the future would be like.

“So why aren’t you leaving?” Yuri turned to look at Ina, “You should be among the first ones to leave, right? You and the child you adopted haven’t undergone extensive mechanical modifications… The child hasn’t at all; you could completely start a new life somewhere else.”

Ina spoke indifferently, “Are you looking down on me?”

“You know that’s not what I mean,” Yuri shook his head, “I just think that your family has already paid too much for this city… I heard your father left you a letter.”

Ina made an affirmative sound, “He told me about my brother.”

She paused for a moment.

“It was then I realized who the person I was talking to in the archives room that night really was.”

Although Ina was trying to hide it, Yuri could still hear the unnatural note in her voice.

So he tactfully turned away and waited for a while before looking back, by which time Ina had regained her composure.

“Your brother was also a great man,” Yuri said, “If he hadn’t resisted so hard, the disaster might have happened earlier, and then perhaps even worse things could have occurred.”

“Do you really believe that?”

“Of course.”

Yuri understood why Ina would ask this.

Because some people felt that, regardless of whether Ian volunteered or not, he brought Yong Xin back from the Polluted Land, making the situation more uncontrollable.

But to Yuri, such talk was undoubtedly absurd.

“Only someone who’s never been to the Polluted Land could say something like that,” Yuri said sternly, “Those people don’t know what we faced in the Polluted Land… facing such idiots, my advice is to go straight for the punch.”

Ina laughed, “That doesn’t sound like the old you. Isn’t hitting people a bit too unprofessional?”
