Chapter 147
Chapter 147: The death of Altos / Tower of Babel?
[Trial by Gunfire —— Triggered]
[Sin Judgment —— !]
[Deception, betrayal, greed, bravado, begging for one’s life!]
[Judgment!]
[Guilty!]
Without giving this ghoul any further room to speak,
Ye Qiyan had already raised the Ebony.
Trial by Gunfire was activated.
Leaving no room for doubt, his finger danced lightly on the trigger, and the bullet left the chamber.
Altos’s head, along with the helmet attached to his flesh, vanished into nothingness under the attack of the Holy Light-infused black and white explosive armor-piercing shell.
Even the deformed body inside the armor was vaporized by the Holy Light.
With this strike, Ye Qiyan never intended to let him have any possibility of surviving.
Altos, this Level 27 Train Captain, died so easily at the hands of Ye Qiyan.
It was not that he was that weak.
Every single one of those stitched monsters could be considered quite tricky existences for ordinary Train Captains..
Even he himself, as a ghoul, would have found it even harder to finish off without corresponding restrictive means. His cause of death had only one reason, and that was that Ye Qiyan was stronger, nothing more.
Furthermore, this fellow’s death was enough to determine one thing.
That was, the Train Conductor Seniors who came to this world in earlier batches were by no means all powerful, nor were they invincible.
[Corpse Lich’s Armor]
[After use, it will transform one’s race into a Corpse Lich.]
[Upon transformation, gain Modules: Corpse Stitching, Holy Light Fear, Corpse-Eating, Blood Helmet Fusion, Corpse Lich Body, Evil Spirits…]
[Note: After transformation, other race transformation methods can be used to further change race, but you cannot return to the original race.]
[Gain unremovable title after transformation: racial traitor]
[racial traitor: Original race’s favorability toward the transformer is naturally reduced by half.]
After Altos died, that suit of armor remained in place. Upon appraisal, he unexpectedly found there was an unexpected harvest.
The armor was huge, and putting it into the backpack was unrealistic.
Such a thing was even less likely for Ye Qiyan to keep and use himself.
However, the snakeskin bag obtained from Qin Qiang earlier happened to be just right for packing this item.
As for his split-open train head, Ye Qiyan didn’t even have the slightest thought of taking it away.
Aside from corpses, there were only corpses inside, and other than recycling that tiny bit of basic material, it was completely worthless.
After sorting out his harvest, he took Zhao Lin, who had been hiding above all along, and prepared to leave this place.
Along the way, Ye Qiyan was pondering a question.
What on earth is the Tower of Babel?
In the City of a Thousand Stars, he had never heard any news about this Tower of Babel.
Could it be that it was another space hidden away just like the Lower District?
He was somewhat curious and wondered whether he should directly ask someone about the situation. If it were Monroe Gina or the husky voice, he could probably learn about this Tower of Babel from them.
But just as the two of them were about to return to the City of a Thousand Stars along the passage they came from,
A golden figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was him, the master of the Order Card.
The man who had chopped up several streets belonging to Zhu Xingtu.
Why would he appear here?
“Lord Judge, hey, hurry up and come with us!”
The Inspector who had previously sent them into the Lower District saw Ye Qiyan standing in place and hurriedly ran over.
“What happened?”
The Inspector cast a fearful glance at the man in the sky, and while heading toward the exit, explained in a low voice:
“You probably don’t know, but the one up in the sky is a big shot. He was seriously injured in another city some time ago and originally came here to recuperate. But not long ago, I don’t know what got into him, he chased a woman and chopped up several streets, which seemed to worsen his injuries quite a bit. Then, he ran over here, saying he wanted what? What necessary sacrifice? Anyway, he’s here to kill people! Everyone in this Lower District is going to die!”
Seriously injured? Killing people? Sacrifice?
Could it be that the attack by the Hunting Mechadragon had made this golden man’s injuries so severe that they were completely irrecoverable, necessitating such extreme measures?
“Who on earth is that person? A big shot? How big of a shot?”
The Inspector wiped the sweat from his forehead and, together with his colleagues, opened up a teleportation passage ahead.
“Oh dear, Lord Judge, please don’t ask anymore. How would a little person like me know about those things? You should wait until you return to your Inquisition to ask someone else. Hurry up and go, I’ll take the two of you to the top floor. If we wait any longer, the one in the sky is going to make a move.”
The top floor?
Why that place?
Although he had doubts, Ye Qiyan did not voice them out.
Giving Zhao Lin a look, the two followed behind the Inspector, crossed the teleportation array, and left the Lower District.
And not long after the two left,
In the sky, the golden man suddenly cast his gaze toward the spot where they had disappeared.
“The aura of a card sequence? Who is it? Cough… Damn it… I can’t drag this out any longer.”
The sudden sharp pain in his chest made him abandon the idea of figuring out who possessed the card sequence.
He gazed down at those lifeless losers below, who looked like the living dead.
Extending his hand, a golden card appeared before him.
[Order Card: Sacrifice]
“For the sake of order, all sacrifices are meaningful.”
The long saber swung down.
The Lower District would be submerged beneath this blade light.
— — — —
City of a Thousand Stars, top floor.
Led by the Inspector, Ye Qiyan and Zhao Lin arrived before a huge tower.
The tower went straight into the sky, its end invisible at a glance, as if connecting with the stars above.
A tower?
No way?
Is it such a coincidence? Or could it be…
Ye Qiyan’s brows twitched slightly, casting a glance at Zhao Lin, who was curiously observing her surroundings.
Luck?
“What kind of place is this?”
Zhao Lin asked the Inspector curiously.
“This is our headquarters. The two of you wait here for a moment, I’ll go contact someone to send the two of you down.”
“Wait a moment.”
Ye Qiyan suddenly stopped him.
Stepping forward with a smile, Demon Card: Bewitchment quietly manifested.
“What is the name of this tower?”
The Inspector was stunned for a moment and replied:
“We’ve always just called this place the headquarters. As for the name, it seems I heard some big shot mention before that it used to be called the Tower of Babel?”
“Many thanks. No need to help us contact anyone, I have an acquaintance here who will take me away, so you needn’t trouble yourself, Your Excellency.”
“Oh, well, then… goodbye?”
“Goodbye~”
Watching the departing backs of Ye Qiyan and Zhao Lin,
The Inspector scratched his head, inexplicably feeling a trace of doubt.
“Tower of Babel? When did I hear this name? I almost forgot about this matter, yet just now I suddenly remembered it. How bizarre.”
“Heh, but helping the Judge of Solomon City, maybe I’ll get a promotion and a raise soon. When that time comes, I’ll be able to buy a few more natives as wives. Awesome~”
