I’m the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization - Chapter 374
The Continent of Zeuo.
This was another village that encountered the Decaying Disaster.
The white feathers of the snow showed no sign of stopping, and the entire world was completely covered.
In front of the village entrance, the knights of the Sacred Heart stood emotionless. They were burning a pile of bodies stacked together, men, women, and children alike.
“This was truly an endless nightmare, trying to break free but unable to do so, only sinking further into it, until the day of drowning.”
Bright and cheerful, Aurora, the Sacred Heart’s Chosen, stood among the crowd. She looked at everything before her but couldn’t find a reason to smile.
They arrived late this time.
When the knights arrived, hundreds of villagers in the village had either been transformed into demons or slain by the monstrous creatures, becoming lifeless corpses.
No one managed to survive.
Even though Aurora’s Knights of the Sacred Heart tirelessly rushed from afar, they were unable to change the tragic outcome.
Aurora wouldn’t think, “I can’t do anything,” but she still pondered.
If I could become stronger, could I do better? Save more people.
Super beings wanting to become stronger, unless they have extraordinary adventures or receive divine blessings, cannot simply become powerful overnight… Under normal circumstances, of course, it is like this.
But with the existence of the Babel Tower, everything became completely different.
At the Babel Tower gathering a few days ago, Aurora and Mu Ling chatted for a while.
Knowing how fast their progress was, Aurora first felt astonished, and then an overwhelming sense of joy washed over her.
The Savior’s gift might bring a turning point.
Aurora’s smile and confidence have been the pillars of the Knights of the Sacred Heart throughout these years.
But behind Aurora’s warm smile, she had long been exhausted both physically and mentally.
She knew that simply helping here and there was just running herself ragged, patching up the holes and unable to fundamentally save the Continent of Zeuo.
They had to solve the problem from its root.
“Savior… I thank you for the hope you have given me. Otherwise, on this endless journey of despair, I would have been lost and confused until my ultimate demise.”
In front of the village, smoke filled the air.
A large number of transformed demon corpses from the villagers were gradually incinerated in the flames. If the bodies were not cleared by the fire, the blood of ordinary people who came into contact with them might mutate.
“Aurora Captain, look at this!”
Suddenly, Aurora’s assistant hurriedly approached.
In her gloved hand, she held something. It was a dark red pebble, as if it was mixed with the scent of blood.
“This is a special stone that has been found a few times before.”
Aurora is rescuing the victims around the Continent of Zeuo, having experienced the sites of multiple Decaying Disasters. She has already seen these kinds of stones many times.
And no one knew why, but after each Decaying Disaster, the scene would always be left with these extremely unique pebbles that had a dark red color and a scent of blood.
“What’s wrong?” Aurora had seen this thing more than once before, and didn’t find it strange at all.
“This time, we discovered more than just it.”
Aurora’s assistant swallowed nervously, then became serious and carefully handed her a yellowed sheepskin scroll.
“This is something we discovered along with these small rocks.”
Aurora picked up the scroll, lowered her head, and began to read. Her expression grew colder and colder.
She had been investigating for several years, and now, finally, there was a small clue to the truth behind the Decaying Disaster.
The key lies within this parchment scroll!
On the parchment scroll, it was written about a person named Harris, who was commanded by a mysterious being to free the Dark Gravel in this village and summon the dark-dwelling creatures.
Combining her past experiences, Aurora immediately understood the cause and effect as she arrived at the scene, where she could see the dark red broken stones.
Perhaps, these dark red fragments could be the so-called Dark Gravel.
And it was because of it that the Decaying Disaster had arisen!
At last!
This terrifying Decaying Disaster has revealed the possibility of finding a fundamental solution!
She took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement deep within her heart.
“Why, after so many years, has the truth never been discovered, and how has it managed to stay hidden until now?”
Aurora had long pondered whether the Decaying Disaster could be man-made. And she wasn’t the only one. Many wise individuals had been relentlessly seeking the origin of the Decaying Disaster.
However, after so many years had passed, even until today, Aurora finally discovered the crucial information that unraveled the formation of the Decaying Disaster.
It was very peculiar, wasn’t it?
Why could it be concealed for so long? Why did the culprits happen to make a mistake this time?
Aurora fell into deep thought.
She looked at her assistant and said, “We need to search for this person named Harris, and we also need to find the origin of ‘Dark Gravel’. These are the two new crucial leads we have in our hands right now, and they are the only two leads we have found in years.”
The assistant asked next, “Should we inform the church about this matter?”
“Um.”
Aurora nodded gently. She was born in the church and was raised by the church.
Aurora knew very well that the Heavenly God Church was actually in control of the Holy Light Kingdom.
Although Aurora, in present times, despised the church for isolating themselves and neglecting the world’s impending destruction, she also knew it would be better to inform the church about the intelligence.
Perhaps the clarity of the information brought by this intelligence could lead to a change in attitude among the higher-ups of the Heavenly God Church, no longer opting for isolation and waiting for death.
Their number was simply too small. In order to immediately find the person named “Harris” on this parchment and discover the presence of the “Dark Gravel,” they would need the assistance of the Heavenly God Church.
“Um, we can’t just inform the church, we have to convince the church to search for the information upstairs together.”
Aurora quickly made a judgment.
In fact, relying solely on these dozen knights and a hundred followers, it would take at least a few years, if not decades, to search for clues on the vast continent.
But the people on the Continent of Zeuo really didn’t have that much time left!
To solve the problem quickly, they could only rely on the vast resources possessed by the Heavenly God Church.
“Okay, I understand,” replied the assistant.
Aurora turned around, gathering the knights and followers of her knightly order, and loudly issued commands before them.
“Next, we are going to the Holy Light Kingdom. Let’s depart right away! Off to the Heavenly God Church!”
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at everyone else, with a hint of confusion in our eyes.
Most of these knights and followers had a deep aversion towards the Heavenly God Church.
But they were still willing to obey the captain’s orders.
Aurora sighed as well. Many years had passed, and now she would once again return to the Heavenly God Church. But this time, it would definitely not be a homecoming.
Aurora knew deep down that she would never return to the Heavenly God Church again.
This time, she was determined to convince the leader of the Heavenly God Church, His Majesty Silger, to deploy personnel to search for “Harris” and “Dark Gravel” in the Continent of Zeuo.
Just as she was about to set off, she suddenly noticed a thick black mist looming not far ahead.
“Be careful, Captain!” shouted the assistant immediately.
“That was…”
Aurora paused for a moment, and quickly realized what the black mist was… It was a teleportation from the Babel Tower.
The people of the Babel Tower?
Aurora was a little surprised, but not very astonished.
After all, being able to go to Noah’s world, there was no reason why the Core Operators of Noah’s world couldn’t come to their own world.
The Savior indeed wanted to save this world!
Aurora’s heart was filled with joy.
Next, a figure of a woman in a red dress emerged from the black mist.
Aurora immediately furrowed her brow.
It was her!
The Babel Tower was Noah’s strongest Core Operator, a vampire named the Scarlet Moon!
“Is that really you?” Aurora sighed.
The Scarlet Moon wore a brilliant crimson cloak, standing out in this perpetually snow-covered world.
She noticed Aurora and the others, nodding gently.
The Scarlet Moon lazily said, “The Savior’s new mission is to protect you on your journey to a place called the Heavenly God Church…sounds quite boring, to be honest.”
Indeed, it was the Savior of Babel Tower who entrusted her with the task, and Aurora wasn’t the least bit surprised.
The Scarlet Moon glanced at the numerous charred remains but didn’t pay much attention. She simply urged everyone to quickly complete the mission.
She didn’t care at all about the situation in other worlds.
“Let’s go, hurry up and complete the mission.”
But when it comes to a vampire, Aurora still feels a little uneasy.
She nodded and said, “Indeed, we are indeed going to the Heavenly God Church, where the Savior will send you. I am glad… but you have to promise me that on the way, you won’t eat people or harm anyone recklessly.”
“Ah?”
Upon hearing this, the Scarlet Moon was completely stunned.
She finally noticed the seriousness and vigilance in the knights’ eyes. With a disdainful smile, she laughed.
“I am not some kind of wild monster, how could I just randomly eat people?”
However, the knights present thought to themselves, “But vampires are inherently savage monsters, aren’t they?”
Aurora shook her head, deciding to trust the Savior’s judgment.
She called out to her followers, saying:
“Don’t be afraid, everyone. The lady in front of us is just like me. We’re both chosen by the Savior of Babel Tower. She will protect us on our journey!”
Once again, everyone looked at me, and I looked at them.
There was no other choice. The knights and followers could only trust their leader, as she was the embodiment of everyone’s belief.
In a world filled with despair, the only way to have the motivation to survive is to maintain one’s belief.
But as they set out on their journey, the members of the knight’s order still kept their distance from Scarlet Moon. Each person’s eyes were filled with caution.
There was no other choice. Vampires in the Continent of Zeuo were indeed savage and cruel creatures of darkness.
The captain insisted on bringing along a powerful and terrifying vampire. It was like willingly sticking one’s hand into a wolf’s mouth and then claiming that it would never be bitten.
Clearly, all of this belonged to the realm of unimaginable actions.
Scarlet Moon, all alone, stepped onto a carriage of the knight’s order, squinted her eyes, and lazily went to sleep with a graceful posture.
She didn’t care at all about the gazes of others.
However, since Aurora is already a member of Babel Tower, she belongs to one’s own companions.
We must protect her no matter what!
Scarlet Moon suddenly opened her eyes, her face icy cold, and said, “So, you’ve also come.”
