Chapter 727: The Oracle Envoy's Ambition
"In the first forty years, every month, the Takamagahara deities would use means to contact the [Pure Land], having the Oracle Envoys report on the operation of 'Human Enclosure' during that period.
But starting from a certain day sixty years ago, Takamagahara never contacted the Oracle Envoys again. It was as if they had completely abandoned this place—整整 sixty years without a single message."
Jiang Er nodded thoughtfully. "So, you hypothesize that something happened to the Takamagahara gods?"
"Exactly. This 'Human Enclosure' is of such enormous scale that the Takamagahara deities would never simply ignore it. Sixty years of no contact—I think there's only one possibility: something happened to Takamagahara." An Qingyu continued,
"At the beginning, the Oracle Envoys simply thought it was an accident. But after five years, they started to realize something was wrong. However, bound by their deep fear of the gods' power, they continued performing their duties, managing the entire 'Human Enclosure.'
It wasn't until another ten years passed and Takamagahara still didn't contact them that their mentality began to shift.
This shift is my own speculation—these things would never be recorded in any档案. But based on everything they did in the [Pure Land], they began testing whether Takamagahara was truly gone, while simultaneously conducting various experiments related to divine power.
These seven Oracle Envoys were capitalists even before the Mist descended. Even though they controlled the entire 'Human Enclosure,' greed still coursed through their veins. Having witnessed the power of the gods firsthand, they began to fantasize about becoming deities themselves...
Thus, the so-called 'King's Blood' experiments and the 'God-Creation' project were born."
"They want to rebel?!" Jiang Er exclaimed in shock.
"Maybe that's only part of it." An Qingyu adjusted his glasses. "These Oracle Envoys know the truth about 'Human Enclosure.' With technology and supernatural powers in their hands, they naturally couldn't be content with merely ruling this illusory world. So they began finding ways to leave this 'Human Enclosure.'
The database of the [Pure Land] contains massive war simulation systems, and even cloning devices for Oracle Envoys. They could use those惊人的 soul fuel reserves, combined with these technological means, to build an entire super army composed solely of Oracle Envoys."
"A super army of Oracle Envoys?!" Jiang Er thought of those seven incredibly powerful Oracle Envoys and said in astonishment, "What do they want to do?"
A single Oracle Envoy was already extremely formidable—absolutely capable of battling a "Klein" realm expert from Great Xia. So if there were hundreds or even thousands of Oracle Envoys, how terrifying would that power be?
"Of course... to dominate the Mist world." An Qingyu said calmly. "Once they find a way to leave 'Human Enclosure,' they'll immediately begin large-scale self-replication. Using those hundreds of millions of units of soul fuel as their foundation, they'll wage war."
"Wage war..."
Jiang Er was at a loss. "But the entire Mist world only has Great Xia left, right?"
An Qingyu glanced at him, his eyes full of complexity.
"You mean they want to invade Great Xia?" Jiang Er reacted quickly. "Have they lost their minds?!"
"They haven't lost their minds—they're blinded by decades of hegemony and the illusion of omnipotence." An Qingyu sneered. "If they truly believe that replicating an army of Oracle Envoys will allow them to conquer all of Great Xia...
Then they are pitifully foolish."
...
Lin Qiye checked the time and looked toward the dark end of the road.
"Someone's coming to pick us up?" Wei Dong asked疑惑ly. "You have other squad members inside 'Human Enclosure'? You can't use Forbidden Ruins here, and there are Oracle Envoys monitoring everything. Without the right skills and knowledge, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
"Dangerous?" Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment. "I guess it's manageable."
Wei Dong looked deeply at Lin Qiye for a long while and sighed.
Captain Lin and his squad must have had a hard time of it, right?
According to what Lin Qiye said, he and his teammates were all washed ashore this country by the sea, without prior knowledge of the local language or culture, and unable to use Forbidden Ruins... Surviving here must not have been easy.
After all, in terms of handling 'Human Enclosure' missions, Great Xia's Night Watch still wasn't as professional as their Oath Society!
Well, at least they managed to avoid being exposed. That was already impressive enough.
Wei Dong was mentally constructing an image of the pitiful life Lin Qiye's squad must have endured in "Human Enclosure," feeling a surge of admiration, when suddenly, the buzzing of an engine sounded from the far end of the road.
Everyone looked up to see dazzling headlights piercing through the silent night—a convoy of over thirty vehicles racing along the coastal highway in perfect formation.
A convoy?
Wei Dong was stunned.
Whooooosh—!
Immediately after, a呼啸破空声 came from the night sky in the distance. A helicopter was flying closely behind the convoy, speeding forward. It seemed to have spotted Lin Qiye and the others on the coast and began circling overhead.
"A helicopter?!" The knight's eyes went wide. "Have the 'Human Enclosure' administrators discovered us?"
"Not quite." Lin Qiye replied calmly. "It's the people here to pick us up."
Thirty-plus cars braked to a halt along the coastline. Doors opened simultaneously, and Black Death Syndicate members in black suits poured out—about two hundred of them, marching toward Lin Qiye and the others in an impressive display of force.
Were they here to fight?
Jialan quietly gripped the handle of the black box.
"Seven Nights Boss, greetings!!!"
At that moment, the two hundred-plus men stood at attention before Lin Qiye and the others, bowed simultaneously, and shouted in unison.
The sound startled Wu Xiangnan and Wei Dong.
They turned to look at Lin Qiye in bewilderment.
A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Lin Qiye's mouth.
The helicopter hovered in place as a rope was lowered from the cabin. A figure grabbed the rope with one hand, a cigarette dangling from their lips, and slid down from the sky, landing steadily on the ground.
His cloud-patterned haori fluttered in the sea breeze. Shen Qingzhu pulled off his leather gloves, took the cigarette from his mouth, flicked it onto the beach, and strode quickly toward Lin Qiye, saying in a low voice:
"You said the fatty got into trouble? Where is he? Does he need to go to the hospital? I had them fly a helicopter over. If he needs hospital care, we can be there in three minutes."
Before he spoke, Wei Dong and the others had assumed this was some powerful figure from a major 'Human Enclosure' faction. But after hearing Shen Qingzhu speak fluent Mandarin, they realized—this man was the teammate Lin Qiye had mentioned.
They looked at the two hundred-plus subordinates standing in orderly formation behind him, then up at the helicopter, their jaws dropping involuntarily.
This display... were they serious?!
