I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 429

Austin looked at Bai Yan with a serious expression, squinting his eyes.

Just like the rumors said, he was a steadfast man who did everything meticulously and fairly, never crossing boundaries or engaging in deceit.

Bai Yan nodded gently, his face beaming with a smile.

He responded to Austin in a playful manner, not taking it seriously at all:

"Um, Profligate, it is I... I know you, Director Austin of the Demon Hunt General Agency, the famous Mr. Sword Saint. It is an honor for me to meet you today."

Honored?

Austin was slightly taken aback, thinking that the other person had something more to say.

But in the 19th century, Bai Yan now feels that life is really quite marvelous.

Half a year ago, I was just a newcomer at the Demon Hunt Agency in Tatsumi City, and it was quite difficult for me to meet the director of the Tatsumi City branch.

Now, I am completely different. I can directly communicate and cooperate with the director of the Demon Hunt General Agency, and even make them wary.

Bai Yan hadn't finished speaking, and he continued, but his audience wasn't Austin anymore:

"Mr. Xia, we meet again."

"This time, the Babel Tower and Imperial Guards, along with the Night Watcher from the Demon Hunt Agency, are going to work together to help Tatsumi City, no, to help World overcome this challenge."

Mr. Xia remained as calm as ever and nodded, just like he always did.

He looked at Profligate in front of him and said, "Find the 'key' as soon as possible. That way, we only need to protect that one person, instead of having to divide our manpower."

"Tatsumi City," a place called Tatsumi City,

"Whenever, Tatsumi City let them destroy it, it doesn't matter."

Bai Yan smiled faintly, not saying a word.

Clearly, Mr. Xia's position was higher than Director Austin's. And after he spoke, Director Austin didn't need to say anything.

Bai Yan knew very well that for Mr. Xia, protecting World was a matter of utmost importance, but safeguarding Tatsumi City was only of secondary importance, even to the point of being dispensable.

And if it was for the sake of his own divine achievement, at a crucial moment, the entire world of Noah could be abandoned.

"Let's begin," Mr. Xia said.

"Wait a moment, if you find that 'key,' what do you do next? Who will be responsible for safeguarding this potentially world-ending entity?"

Austin suddenly posed this question.

He continued, "Babel Tower is formidable, but over the past few hundred years, the Demon Hunt General Agency has handled numerous major incidents, saving World from the brink of destruction countless times... We have more experience in safeguarding something like this."

The implied meaning was very clear.

After speaking, Austin gazed at Profligate, knowing full well that the other party would not readily agree.

"Okay."

To Austin's surprise, Profligate, Bai Yan, nodded in agreement without hesitation or delay.

"Leave it to you to take care of."

Mr. Xia nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go investigate... The Imperial Guards' 'Pope' is also using his abilities to investigate a method that can unravel souls without killing. Perhaps he will be faster than you."

"Understood," she replied.

Bai Yan didn't say anything more, he turned around and walked away.

He arrived directly at the White Tower of the Demon Hunt General Agency, a vast empty space that resembled a training ground. The people they protected and monitored from the list were all waiting in line here for inspection.

"The Pope," the little boy was also here.

He sighed and looked at Bai Yan.

"This kind of hard work is actually assigned to me. Oh, Mr. World is truly good at bossing people around."

After saying that, Bai Yan shook his head and turned around to leave. He didn't want to interact with the Pope anymore.

"There are many people."

Bai Yan squinted his eyes and suddenly noticed an old man among the crowd. The elderly man was very old, holding a cane. He had gray hair, wore glasses, and had an air of scholarly elegance.

"It's you, I never expected to see you here..."

This old man was extraordinary. Bai Yan was slightly stunned and he knew in his heart who this old man really was.

It was Professor Dong, one of the four independent personalities of the Truth Scholar.

Bai Yan had once communicated with one of the female forms of the Truth Scholar. She was a college student named Xiao Qiu. At that time, Bai Yan even intentionally used the alias Xiao Xia.

"Hmm, if we continue to use these aliases in the future, then I will be Little Xia, Mr. 'World' will be Big Xia, and 'Summer' in Truth Scholar will be Midsummer... It's easy to tell them apart."

Bai Yan pondered aloud.

He never imagined that the Truth Scholar was one of the many "candidate key holders."

"Interesting, when the box was opened, it might bring a delightful surprise."

Bai Yan ignored him for the time being, as it was not necessary.

For now, the most important thing is to find the "key".

The Truth Scholar in the form of an old man silently observed his surroundings without uttering a word.

"Professor Dong" and "Xiao Qiu" were different. Professor Dong knew the truth about the "Truth Scholar" and understood that within his own body, besides himself, there existed three separate personalities.

"Is there an inspection?" Professor Dong squinted his eyes.

In the realm of the four personalities, "Professor Dong" and "Midsummer" were the most powerful. The former was skilled in various rituals and possessed exceptional wisdom, while the latter possessed great magical abilities and had astonishing insight.

The Truth Scholar, Ninetales Aision, and the Innocent Singer were the only three sorcerers within the first playthrough of the Babel Tower. Now, they were about to be joined by a Mysterious Magic.

Bai Yan reached out and touched one person after another, who were waiting in line for inspections. In their confused expressions, he activated "Connection" and "Game," continuously examining the specific situations these people themselves were unaware of.

After about ten minutes, Bai Yan let out a sigh.

Are you not here?

More than five hundred people were present, including the Truth Scholar. He and the "Pope" had inspected each and every person, but there was no sign of the so-called "key."

"Is it possible that the person we're looking for is still outside? Or perhaps, have they been captured or killed by those people?"

Bai Yan pondered deeply.

Meanwhile, inside the Babel Tower, the entity Bai Yan was also deep in thought as he held his phone.

The incident naturally had a response within the "Babel Tower."

It was a special event known as the "Black Eagle Seal."

No matter whether they killed the foreign supernaturals, the Doomsday Race, or found the "key" within the crucial individuals, Babel Tower would have corresponding rewards.

And the greatest prize, of course, was the "key".

In fact, this is not closely related to the rewards. If the enemies were to find the "key" first, once the Black Abyss Deep Sea is successfully unsealed... everything would be almost lost.

"The timing of this event was also not a moment too soon, the power of the Black Abyss Deep Sea has surely seeped into this world..."

As Bai Yan thought about this, he suddenly realized that danger was approaching.

Inside the surveillance of his phone, countless members of the Doomsday Race, in numbers too great to count, had already gathered in Tatsumi City's Platinum Zone and were advancing towards the White Tower.

It looked ominous and intimidating.

But Bai Yan wasn't very worried.

Because, the strongest person of the Air Alliance, "World," presided over this place.

As long as it wasn't the ancient hundred-armed giant "Nullify" personally coming, Bai Yan didn't think anyone could threaten the White Tower.

"But, the eventual arrival of 'Nullify' seems to be only a matter of time."

Bai Yan squinted his eyes.

"And... will the Rainbows ever come?"

He knew it very well.

This was the real highlight.

Meanwhile.

In a corner of Tatsumi City's Platinum Zone, stood the other two members of the "Three Kings" of the Doomsday Race.

The expressionless elf girl, wrapped in bandages from head to toe, held a dark and mysterious black crystal ball in her hands, always waiting for the command of the esteemed "Nullify" master.

She was communicating with the "Celestial Demon" inside the nearby fish tank.

"Come, show your ability, and transform this city into your prey... In this city, there is a powerful presence that must be confronted with your strength."

After speaking, she whispered quietly and began singing an ancient, cryptic and unfathomable song that had been passed down through the ages.

The black slime monster in the bathtub seemed to be startled and started trembling immediately. Suddenly, it leaped out of the fish tank and attached itself to the nearby wall.

In the next moment, the entire wall was being devoured by it.

As a result, the size of the celestial demon grew more than twice as big.

However, the pitch-black celestial demon felt no satisfaction at all. It continued to devour everything within its reach, be it living beings or inanimate objects.

(Translated by Gravity Tales 😞)

Its size was also noticeably and rapidly increasing.

In no time at all, this rare celestial demon of the "Apocalypse" class would grow to a terrifying size, becoming a guildmaster, with a monstrous volume capable of devouring the entire city of Tatsumi!
