Chapter 833: An Qingyu's Accountability
In the spacious indoor training ground, over six hundred recruits lay neatly on the floor.
Several instructors stood around the training ground, exchanged glances, nodded, and walked to each unconscious recruit, kicking them awake.
"Wake up!"
"Still sleeping? The sun's already up!"
"All of you, get up! What do you think this place is? A nursing home?"
"..."
As the instructors shouted, the six hundred recruits lying there gradually woke up. They sat up in a daze, looked around, and fell into a stupor...
Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?
Didn't the Church of the Ancient Gods invade? Weren't the instructors all sacrificed? Wasn't Great Xia about to fall?!
What is going on?
In the crowd, the unconscious Ding Chongfeng was also kicked awake by an instructor. He stood still for a full ten seconds before his brain started functioning again.
Church of the Ancient Gods invasion, instructors wiped out, meeting in the auditorium, final battle with the enemy... and then Shen-ge put on the fox mask?!
Ding Chongfeng recalled the scene he had glimpsed before losing consciousness, then looked at the lively instructors around him, as if having figured something out. His mouth couldn't help but open wide...
Dammit, we got played!!
...
Indoor Training Ground, Second Floor.
Yuan Gang and the others watched the recruits below constantly waking up, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Although there were some unexpected events, thankfully none of the recruits were injured. It's a blessing in disguise."
"Commander Yuan." Beside him, An Qingyu, carrying the black coffin on his back, spoke calmly, "Although you are the chief instructor of this training camp and a senior of Qiye and the others, there are some things I still must say."
An Qingyu turned to look at him, her brow slightly furrowed. "This time, if we hadn't正好 been serving as guest instructors and detecting the possibility of the Church of the Ancient Gods' presence, and if it weren't for Qiye and Jialan's cooperation, these six hundred-plus recruits of this cohort might truly have been lost...
Of course, I don't doubt your care for these recruits or your sense of duty. I believe that in critical moments, you would不惜代价保护这些孩子，但即便是这样，在最理想的情况下，就算这些新兵能保住，你们教官也会团灭在这里。
不管是哪种情况，最后的结果对Great Xia而言，都是一场重创。
我理解这次新兵大规模扩招给你们的工作带来了极大的压力，但即便如此，也不应该出现如此低级的错误。"
An Qingyu was very objective in what she said, and everything she stated was an undeniable fact. Some things that Lin Qiye and the others couldn't or wouldn't say, An Qingyu could—she hadn't come from this training camp, so she could speak freely to instructors like Yuan Gang without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Yuan Gang showed no displeasure on his face. Instead, he nodded seriously.
"You're right. The responsibility for this incident lies with me. I won't evade it. I'll report everything to the higher-ups truthfully and accept any punishment they give me..."
Yuan Gang paused, hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but add:
"But to be honest, I still can't figure out what went wrong..."
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe what I'm about to say will sound like I'm trying to shirk responsibility, but..." Yuan Gang sighed. "I've personally checked the files of all six hundred-plus recruits multiple times. I've verified everyone's background, family relations, and social connections against intelligence records. Everything was authentic. There should have been no possibility of outsiders infiltrating."
An Qingyu was taken aback and asked puzzledly:
"You're saying you've verified all their information?"
"That's right. I'm absolutely confident about this. There can't be any errors."
"Could it be that the files were all authentic, but the recruits who came to participate in training were switched out?"
"That's impossible. To prevent such situations, we use a forbidden artifact to verify everyone's DNA during registration. Even if someone capable of altering their own genes existed, they couldn't possibly have three such individuals appear all at once."
"So the possibility of a body swap has been ruled out..." An Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were contemplating something.
"By the way." Yuan Gang seemed to have remembered something. "We found another recruit suspected to be a member of the Church of the Ancient Gods at the shooting range of the training camp. However, by the time we found him, he was already knocked out. He's currently under control and being interrogated. I'm not sure if we can extract any useful information from him."
"If there are any survivors, it would indeed make the investigation much easier." An Qingyu nodded in agreement.
"Where's Lin Qiye?" Yuan Gang looked around. He couldn't find Lin Qiye among the [Nightfall] squad members on the second floor.
"Him? He has some things to handle. He should be back soon."
...
Outside the Training Camp.
The，浑身是伤的 Lu Baoyou limped through the gate of the training camp, heading outward.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly stopped, turned back to take one more look at the training camp, his eyes filled with complex emotions...
In the end, he still hadn't been able to enter this training camp.
At that time, Lin Qiye had used his aura to knock unconscious nearly all the recruits. Only Lu Baoyou, protected by the fallen angel's divine might, had barely managed to stay awake. But this time, instead of insisting on staying in the training camp, he chose to leave quietly on his own.
He had thought he knew what he wanted, but after confronting Lin Qiye, he had become somewhat confused.
He always felt like he was ignoring something important.
There were still many things he hadn't figured out.
So, he chose to leave.
Where he should go and what he should do after leaving—he hadn't decided yet...
Just then, Lin Qiye's words echoed in his ears once again: "You don't need to answer me now.看在您父亲的面子上，这次我不杀你，滚出这座集训营，回家去，等你找到答案了……再回来找我。"
Go home...
Why did everyone want him to go home?
Lu Baoyou didn't understand, but vaguely, he had a premonition that the answer Lin Qiye wanted him to find... was at home.
With this thought, a clarity emerged in Lu Baoyou's confused eyes. He gradually quickened his pace, walking toward the train station.
He didn't notice that at this moment, outside the gate of the training camp, a figure had quietly emerged from nothingness.
Lin Qiye stared at the departing figure, his brow furrowed, as if lost in thought.
After a moment, as if having made a decision, he lightly brushed his hand over the hilt of [White Slash].
"Big White." he said calmly.
"Boss!" A massive void bear shadow appeared behind Lin Qiye. "What are your orders?"
"Follow him. Don't let him spot you." Lin Qiye paused, then continued, "If, after he returns home, he still ends up on the wrong path—don't hesitate. Eliminate him directly."
"Yes!"
