I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 199

Sylve had visited hospitals before, but the hospitals in the Platinum Zone have exceptionally good medical facilities and environment. Moreover, the number of patients is even lesser than the staff of working doctors and nurses.

The staff at the hospitals in the Platinum Zone always serve with a smile, unlike here where people are in a hurry and speak loudly.

But she still endured and arrived at the door of her classmate's hospital room.

After the incident, Sylve's mother had already paid out fifteen thousand, but now she took out another fifteen thousand and even had to personally go to make amends.

If it weren't for Mr. Moriarty being too terrifying, she wouldn't have come today no matter what.

Outside the door, Sylve saw her classmate's parents with faces full of anger. As soon as they saw her, they wanted to curse at her.

Fortunately, her butler had explained the purpose of her visit in advance. They heard that Sylve's family had to pay another fifteen thousand as compensation, and that she came today to apologize specifically. As a result, the anger of her classmate's parents was only reduced by half.

Seeing the frightened expression on Sylve's face, the two could not continue to curse her.

"Let's go inside, Miss Sylve," the butler said calmly.

Several people entered the room together.

The black-haired girl with an injured left hand was not staying in a separate ward. She was calmly sitting on a bed that was not the innermost one, holding a novel about knights with her one hand.

"Daughter, uhm, your classmate is here," her mother said with a hint of embarrassment.

The black-haired girl shifted her attention from the miscellaneous book and saw Sylve come in.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment. The girl slightly turned her head, too afraid to look directly at her.

"Sorry."

Sylve took a deep breath, walked up and lowered her head to apologize seriously.

I was wrong.

At this moment, she knew that bullying others was certainly not a good thing to do, while at the same time, she suddenly felt very surprised – why could she easily bully others in school before?

It seems that when I did those things, everyone also secretly agreed and acquiesced to it.

As long as I joked about her, everyone in the class would laugh out loud.

It seemed that back then, bullying her was the right thing to do, and if one didn't do it, they would appear...very unsociable.

That atmosphere was just like that of demons.

"I'm very sorry."

Sylve apologized once again, this time more sincerely than before.

"Yezi, please forgive me...I was really wrong, and I won't treat you like that again in the future."

Sylve really hoped to be forgiven, otherwise Mr. Moriarty might make her "empathize" again tonight, and just thinking about it frightened her terribly.

"I don't forgive you."

"Uh?"

Sylve was stunned.

Although it was very soft, the black-haired girl sitting on the bed did say this, and she lowered her head and muttered to herself again.

"I won't forgive you."

Suddenly, the black-haired girl looked at her coldly.

"You better die soon. I won't forgive you... never."

--

After dinner, it's time for a new teaching session.

Bai Yan sat calmly on the sofa, while Sylve sat at the other end of the sofa, only half of their butt on the seat, trembling and not daring to speak with their head down.

"Did you go to apologize today?"

"Um."

"Did she forgive you?"

Sylve's body trembled violently, wanting to lie, but in the end, she said, "No".

Bai Yan calmly said, "The ritual I taught you yesterday was a simple exercise in empathy. Do you remember the steps? Please perform it again for me."

He took out a small glass bottle, inside of which was a drop of blood from the black-haired girl.

"I, I, I don't want to..."

Sylve begged for mercy and looked towards Mentor Moriarty, but they didn't receive his forgiveness.

She could only prepare for the empathy ritual step by step, with her scalp tingling. Matchsticks, a bowl of water, a drop of blood, and finally placing her hand on the matchstick.

But when it came to chanting the spell, Sylve finally couldn't continue and tears welled up in their eyes.

So scared.

Who can come and save me?

I am really scared.

I am afraid of pain.

Bai Yan gazed at her calmly and uttered, "Let's begin," devoid of any emotion or sentiment.

Sylve thought about running to find her mother and escaping from here, but subconsciously understood that even if she escaped temporarily, it would be meaningless.

Many trainings about superhumans are more painful and dangerous than this, and now as an apprentice of Moriarty, I cannot disobey his orders.

As long as the Moriarty mentor doesn't cross her mother's limit of tolerance, she will command herself to greet him with a smiling face.

Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes, and Sylve trembled while reading aloud:

"Our past has shaped our present, our choices have shaped our present, and so we share the same feelings. We will struggle and suffer together..."

Whimper.

The pain immediately spread into her body, and Sylve bit her lips and trembled.

So painful, still so painful.

"Don't let go."

Icy voice.

Sylve felt this pain with fear, sweating profusely and tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

She didn't let go because of that icy voice.

Bai Yan said calmly, "Even if you have already apologized, this pain still exists and will not be erased. The regrets of the perpetrator are actually of little use."

"If this were a world where an apology could heal the wounds and bring back the dead, that would be wonderful... but unfortunately, it is not."

Shaking his head, Bai Yan continued, "The injured party will never be the same again, and they will never easily forgive the perpetrator... Even if they no longer bring up these issues after growing up, it doesn't mean that they have forgiven, but rather because they no longer care."

"I got it!" Sylve wanted to scream, but she didn't dare to!

I understand, I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again! Please forgive me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It was my fault!

Suddenly, Sylve's hand holding the matchstick was moved away by Bai Yan.

The pain has ended...

Sylve's mouth twitched, as if trying to smile but unable to.

Finally, the pain is gone. That's great.

Bai Yan gently stroked the girl's head, allowing her body to gradually relax.

"However, from another perspective, you are still a well-behaved child. At least you honestly corrected your mistake…So, I will give you a reward."

In Bai Yan's hand appeared a seed that Sylve had never seen before.

The seed was dark brown and shaped like a bodhi tree seed, about the size of a quail egg.

The seed of enlightenment.

Initially, it was Alan who gave Bai Yan this thing, allowing him to officially embark on the road to transcendence.

Such a precious reward immediately made Sylve happy. She was even a bit overwhelmed. The value of this thing was enough to make ordinary people shy away from it for a lifetime.

Sylve still had tears streaming down her face and her hands were shaking, but she managed to smile and express her gratitude:

"Thank you, thank you, mentor. I will be more obedient in the future, I will listen to you and do as you say."

Bai Yan silently repeated the person's words, "What you are about to see next is the essence of standing in a diverse universe. It may be extremely strange and unimaginable, but you must start from here as the origin point."

"When this seed blossoms, you will become a true transcendent."

"What you need to do is enter it again and again in your dreams, glimpse yourself inside the seed of enlightenment, and let it become the foundation of your transcendence that is already a part of you."

Immediately, Bai Yan placed the seed of enlightenment into Sylve's hands, and at the next moment, she made contact with her own essence.

After a moment of trance, she suddenly murmured, "So this is it, sir. This is my soul's essence."

The scene Sylve saw earlier…

It was a world filled with desolation, where all life died in front of her.

None were spared.

And the cause of the death of those things was her own blood, her own tears, her every breath.

"Go rest, Sylve, you're already very tired."

"Yes, Mr. Moriarty."

Bai Yan's calm tone made the mentally exhausted Sylve leave.

After completing all of this, he suddenly felt somewhat fatigued and turned to look at himself in the mirror.

"Bai Yan" seems to be smiling.

"As I said, you are me and I am you, that's just how our nature is... You enjoyed it just now, even regretting that she didn't commit more crimes so you could act without worry."

"Those cultists are heinous criminals, so 'Profligate' can kill and dominate freely, execute evil on sight. You truly are a righteous hero!"

The "he" in the mirror gazed at Bai Yan's face, his tone becoming more playful and cruel.

"You don't really have a bottom line, with just "fun" being a sufficient reason for all your actions. If "Babel Tower" wasn't a game that saved the world, but a game that destroyed it... You would still play it."

"Bai Yan, enjoy yourself to the fullest."

"Till the end of all things."

Were those just illusions earlier?

Bai Yan quickly realized that his reflection in the mirror was no longer abnormal, but what he said just now didn't seem entirely wrong, at least not a simple illusion... but what does it matter anyway.

Many extraordinary individuals will face this kind of situation.

The more you care, the more you will be subjected to distorted influence, accumulating restlessness and madness.

Calmly he took out his phone and began to return to his 'work'.

Bai Yan first looked around the recent logs of the Core Operators.

"Intelligence log of Core Operator Nightsaber."

"After getting up in the morning, continue practicing swordsmanship."

"Searched for cultists in Tatsumi City, but didn't find any."

"Contemplating about the Crown Ceremony and feeling that being promoted would be great, Mood +1."

Then, there were other people's intelligence logs below, and he continued to scroll down with his finger.

"Intelligence log of Core Operator Mysterious Magic."

"Attempted to learn new spell 'Vaporizing Doppelganger', failed, Mood -1."

"Followed the team for a mission and successfully rescued the hostage, Mood +1."

"The whole team went to eat hot pot at night, but surprisingly, I ended up paying the bill. Mood -1."

Everything seemed to be no different from usual...

Just then, Bai Yan suddenly discovered an unexpected situation.

"Intelligence log of Core Operator - Cybertyrant."

"In the morning, searching for the person named Bai Yan in Tatsumi City's database."
