I’m the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization - Chapter 387

The Ring City, a towering cityscape, was divided into semi-independent districts on each level. As one ascended higher, the districts boasted better levels of safety, healthcare, and education.

In the underground waterway of the 115th level.

A group of Maintainers wearing protective masks were steadily moving forward.

Many search robots were automatically hovering around, detecting any possible clues that might be present.

Leon, the leader of this team.

He is a member of the “Maintainer” team in the Rock Morgan group, an elite among the company’s agents, having fought for over fifty years with a powerful, modified body.

This white-haired man was the most famous hound among the “Maintainers”, having completed numerous challenges and even taken down many “prey” stronger than himself.

“My extraordinary power of ‘super intuition’ will tightly grasp onto you, thief who stole the company’s technology. We will soon find you.”

The reason Leon has been chasing Amy all this time is because of last year’s guide mission of the Cybertyrant. She was successfully manipulated by Bai Yan and stole a powerful soul-related technology.

Phantom REC chip!

“That thing cannot be disclosed.”

The effect of the Phantom REC chip is similar to that of Hypnosis, but even more powerful. However, it has a terrible vulnerability or, one might say, a terrifying “backdoor.”

On the surface, it was the latest version of entertainment software, allowing users to enjoy a life of boundless freedom in virtual reality. However, in reality, it subtly hypnotized users through “virtual reality,” gradually plunging their minds into an enchanting trance from which they could not escape.

This secretive technology was stolen, and the Rock Morgan group couldn’t let it slide. They demanded that the Maintainers hunt down the thieves until the bitter end.

After spending several months, Leon was getting closer and closer to Amy, who had been hiding all over the east and west.

He couldn’t even imagine that Amy was actually just a few hundred meters beneath him, in a hidden base between the 115th and 114th levels, which had been ingeniously created by the Omnic beings.

No matter how hard Leon tried, he couldn’t imagine that the disgraceful thief had become the creator of a new race, instead of just a trembling super hacker hiding in the sewers.

So, this time he came without bringing the powerful weapons from the company, believing that his maintainers would be enough to guarantee victory.

In fact, this thought wasn’t entirely wrong, as most maintainers had been modified and could easily overpower individuals below Crown level, even with ordinary strength.

Only a few extraordinary individuals at the Crown level existed, and there were so few of them that defeating them would require more powerful weapons.

As for “Apocalypse”… that kind of semi-god who could pose a threat to the nation, that’s a whole different story.

Even in the vast Ring City, there was only one visible extraordinary individual at the Apocalypse level.

In reality, the Dark Light Church had four extraordinary individuals at the Apocalypse level, which was actually quite a decent number. On the surface, the Air Alliance also had only four extraordinary individuals at the Apocalypse level.

“That guy is hiding here, after months of investigation, it’s finally coming to an end,” Leon muttered to himself, his eyes emitting a red glow as he scanned everything around him.

The Maintainers, who were searching for the underground water channels, stopped at yet another intersection. The team members looked towards their leader, Mr. Leon.

“Sometimes, I really feel that my skills are too extraordinary, abnormal.”

Leon looked at his subordinates and smiled as he said, “Do you know? Ever since my ‘super intuition’ ability appeared, those so-called cyber detectives, online investigators, and sophisticated instruments have become somewhat useless.”

“The things I can find, maybe they can find too. The things I can track, maybe they can track too. But the difference is actually time… The truth that a detective takes a month to find, the culprit’s location, is something I can determine just by flipping a coin.”

He smiled.

Time is precious, and in the Ring City, money is the only thing that truly matters.

Then, Leon reached into his pocket and pulled out a treasured ancient coin.

“So, should we go left or right? Come on, you can tell me which path is better.”

“Snap.”

Leon tossed the ancient coin casually and it immediately flew into the air, flipping and twirling before dropping back down.

With a smile on his face, he reached out to grab the ancient coin. However, just as he was about to seize it, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. In the blink of an eye, he helplessly watched as the ancient coin fell to the ground.

“Hmm?”

The pain in his arm was lightning-fast and in the blink of an eye, it was almost instantly gone.

“What’s going on…”

Leon’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately glanced at the ancient coins.

It was neither the front nor the back. At this very moment, the ancient coin was standing upright on the ground.

An almost impossible thing happened!

Suddenly, Leon felt a ringing in his ears, a racing heart, and a great sense of danger looming.

If I stay any longer, I will definitely die!

“Hurry! Run!”

Without hesitation, he turned around and fled, trying to return the way he came. However, he quickly realized that the sense of danger hadn’t disappeared!

Returning the way he came would surely lead to certain death!

“Damn it!”

Leon had to come to a halt.

Where should we escape to? What should we do now? Why is my intuition warning me that there are enemies all around?

The Maintainers were startled by his sudden movements.

“Captain, how do we go? Which direction should we escape?”

However, Leon still didn’t know which way to run was the best solution.

He immediately looked at his subordinates and said, “We might have been surrounded now.”

“But, stay calm! Our every move is being monitored by the company, they will definitely send support in time!”

As Leon finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his connection with the company had been cut off!

“Oh no! What’s going on?”

He was filled with shock and astonishment, and then he noticed a faint figure appearing in the sewer.

Leon’s eyes had already transformed into electronic ones, allowing him precise night vision even in the sewer. He immediately recognized what the approaching “person” really was.

That was a slender young girl with blue eyes, slowly walking towards this direction.

“Hmm?”

Leon sensed a real threat and then, to his surprise, he noticed numerous slender girls appearing one after another from all directions in the sewer.

These girls were all in their early teens, but they had an uncanny resemblance in their appearance. However, each one could be distinguished by their clothing, hairstyle, and eye color, but only by careful observation.

As they approached slowly, the Maintainers’ nerves were stretched to the limit, yet they were unsure whether to launch an attack.

They were all waiting for Leon to give the command.

“Who are you? What are you?”

Leon, the hunter, at this moment, found himself enveloped in deep fear!

Zero stood among numerous “sisters” and instantly gave orders through electronic abilities.

[Kill them, no need to leave anyone alive, but remember to bring back the data and chips.]

With his extraordinary intuition, Leon, without any reason, immediately concluded that Zero was the leader.

Without hesitation, he pulled out a massive silver firearm and aimed it at Zero.

“Dead!”

The light on the massive silver firearm shimmered, as it had already locked onto Zero. In theory, even if she wanted to escape, it would be impossible.

However, Zero simply watched the scene silently.

“Lock it in, my friend, this is our battle with him,” Zero seemed to be in conversation with the firearm.

In the next moment, her eyes flashed with a red glow, and the shimmering light on the massive silver firearm vanished.

Leon’s desperate struggle proved futile, as he sank into despair.

Because of his extraordinary intuition, he knew better than anyone else just how powerful these frail girls were! Each of them possessed abilities that were not inferior to those at the awakening level!

There were surprisingly still so many of them!

Suddenly, Leon understood the true nature of these identical-looking girls.

It was like this all along!

He couldn’t help but exclaim,

“I was wrong, I was wrong! They are not prey, they are monsters!”

That’s right, they are all monsters! They are terrifying monsters that will completely destroy the Ring City!

—

At that moment, inside the secret hideout.

Amy sat in her room, deep in thought while sitting in her wheelchair.

“Savior, is my choice really correct?”

She let out a sigh, realizing through her powers that her sisters had easily succeeded.

“Those strong children, after encountering the blood of the wise life, will no longer have any mental barriers. This might be the start of something terrifying…”

After finishing, Amy heard a familiar voice.

It was the answer of the Savior.

However, it was not the answer to her question.

But instead…

[Cybertyrant, get ready, it’s time for your Crown Ceremony.]
