Chapter 123: The Beginning of a Part of the Plan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once Fang Ning had finished speaking, he paid no attention to whatever that was happening on the outside, since Qiao Zishan and her party would be dealing with the aftermath. He was instead focused on the outcomes of this battle while mulled over the development plans for the System.

At the same time, Vigilante A had just stopped Ding Xiang, who had wanted to help with his injuries.

He started walking around in this hall filled with glass coffins, as if he was looking for something.

However, despite searching high and low for a while, no treasures or valuable items could be found.

Although that Anderson really was powerful, his spiritual sense was the only thing that was amazing about him, nothing else.

This disappointed Sir System terribly; they didn’t get legendary equipment after defeating a Super Boss, so it would make sense that Sir System was angry.

Qiao Zishan and the rest would never steal loot that wasn’t theirs, and the fact they managed to complete this mission unscathed was a feat in and of itself.

One by one, they dispersed. Some went to make their reports while others made emergency statements.

At the same time, Qiao Zijiang suddenly spoke while looking at her phone, “There’s an update. Two people from the Power Balance Association are on the run and their location isn’t too far from here; the coordinates are…, let’s send someone to go after them…”

Hearing this, Vigilante A immediately stood up before he was gone in the blink of an eye.

Everyone else was stunned; this Venerable Dragon God had just been vomiting blood from all his serious wounds earlier, now he was as energetic as can be?

Ding Xiang, who was still focused on healing Vigilante A, had an expression of admiration as she watched Vigilante A disappear into the distance, “Such happiness upon realizing that one can exterminate evil. That fellow Zheng Dao was right, Vigilante A really is a great hero.”

Qiao Zijiang, who had been standing to the side all this while, suddenly followed the path Vigilante A had just used, her eyes scanning the ground.

Qiao Zishan was confused and immediately asked, “Zijiang, what are you looking for? There shouldn’t be anything there right? If not, Vigilante A would’ve never missed it and would’ve picked it up immediately.”

“Dragon blood! I never thought he would give chase once an enemy appeared despite suffering from serious injuries! Although dragon blood isn’t of much use to us, he isn’t one of this earth, so we won’t be able to clone it. However, it would be terrible if it fell into the wrong hands.”

Everyone else was impressed; this female Zhuge Liang really was something…

Hai Cheng nodded his head in agreement, “She’s right. Out of all the power types I know, there are some dark magic types that use a person’s blood or personal belongings to cast curses. It is a terribly cruel practice. With how severe his wounds are, I doubt he’ll be able to hold out against any.”

Other than the people with the tasks at hand, the rest lowered their heads in shame. Hai Cheng had already analyzed things in such detail; shouldn’t they recognize Vigilante A’s prowess by now?

At the stage they were at now, they couldn’t afford to let such a strong and valuable ally suffer from fatal wounds.

A while later, doubt started to bloom in everyone.

“That’s weird, he had vomited so much blood just now that had all ended up on the floor. Where did all that blood go? Did he recover all that blood back into his portable space equipment? Here I was so worried too. What a waste, now I can’t even farm some favorability points.”

Qiao Zijiang had been searching for quite a while; not only was there no dragon blood on the ground, even his spit was nowhere to be seen, so she was extremely confused and upset.

…

In a deserted part of the forest, Vigilante A was leaning against a tree as he watched the two people in front of him, the corners of his mouth stained with dried blood.

After Qiao Zijiang had given the coordinates of the enemies, he had used the System Map that was still open and had immediately intercepted Elder Feng and Robert.

After he had discovered the pair of them, Fang Ning immediately told the System, “Don’t kill them first, the System Advancement Plan that I’m preparing for you might involve them. Let’s see what they have to say first.”

The System answered, “I would have left one alive even if you didn’t say so.”

Fang Ning then listened to the elder, who started speaking.

“Vigilante A, Anderson didn’t kill you? Despite suffering from such serious injuries, you still gave chase? I’m but a normal elder; practically invaluable. Anderson is the Vice President. Most gweilos 1 don’t care about hierarchy, which is why we just call him Anderson.”

Elder Feng looked at Vigilante A in shock as the latter continued to spit blood.

It was obvious Vigilante A had been injured fatally by Anderson. Why did he give chase? What was motivating him to do?

By the side, Robert’s expression shifted drastically. He was no longer stunned.

He immediately bowed in greeting, “Great hero, I’m but a normal citizen that was hired by them. I was ordered around by them before, I had no free will.

“I’ve only just joined them, and I’ve only battled a dog. I aimed at its testicles on purpose previously, and the bullet I had used was the weakest armor-piercing bullet. It was designed to pierce through directly without harming other body parts. I worked as a veterinarian for over ten years before I joined the battlefield. I only wanted to give them a free sterilization surgery, I didn’t want to kill them at all. Please have mercy…”

Fang Ning deadpanned at the System, “No wonder Brett’s performance was so bad. I had guessed wrong. Turns out it knew it almost became a eunuch… Can this guy’s words be trusted?”

The System answered, “It’s true. I saw the point of attack, it was right on Brett’s crotch. The explosion that had happened was my Defence Skills countering the magic on the bullet.”

At this moment, Elder Feng pointed accusingly at Robert and exclaimed, “What? Robert, you were lying to us all this while! You purposely chose that dog as a target! You actually knew what ‘that dog of a Vigilante A’ meant, right?”

Robert impatiently said, “Did you really think my International Grade 5 Chinese Certificate was for nothing? I also know that ‘Vigilante A has defeated us greatly’ and ‘Vigilante A has achieved great victory over us’ 2 both mean the same thing; it just means he wins no matter what… Will you finally believe where my Chinese standard lies?”

Elder Feng was speechless, his face red with anger.

Fang Ning immediately spoke to the System after hearing everything, “This Robert must hail from quite a background. My precious game book, let me see his profile.”

[David Robert. Sex: Male, Hobbies: Soccer, Age: 39. Identity: SBI undercover spy.]

[Alignment: Neutral with an inclination toward Righteousness.]

[Power Level: Cutlery-level contestant. Description: No need for description, will break with a touch. Note: Possesses Morality, equipped with high potential.]

It was no wonder the System Notifications didn’t saw him being consumed by Morality.

However, Fang Ning only knew what FBI was. What organization is this SBI 3 ? Is it an organization made up of idiots?

Fang Ning then had the System ask for him.

Vigilante A questioned, “What organization is the SBI?”

Elder Feng looked at Robert in shock immediately, “You’re a spy. You’re from the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau! Lei Juedong was right all along…”

In contrast, Robert wasn’t all that shocked at all. He merely shrugged, his face one of relief, “Yes, I’m from the SBI, which is why I was merciful on you. The Special Affairs Investigation Bureau.

“The abbreviation is similar to ‘FBI’ or Federal Investigation Bureau, but the organization is far above the FBI in status; it is an organization under America’s Special Affairs Agency, and the main forces are all Americans. Alright, now that I’ve explained myself, you should let me go. We’re all allies here, all people from GASATO.”

Vigilante A responded, “Ally or not, what you say can’t be taken for real. Somebody will be here to bring you away.”

Fang Ning thought to himself, ‘Your name isn’t green on the System Map yet; it’s yellow with a hint of white, so you’re definitely no ally.’

Robert only shrugged his shoulders again in response.

Fang Ning then spoke, “Now that you’re almost done, lock Elder Feng into a jail cell first after you make a few more solitary cells. The previous jail only housed spiritual forms; first it was that Elite Nightmare Demon, then it was Anderson’s spiritual sense. It hasn’t housed any actual people yet, so we can use him to test it out. You’re going to kill him anyways, which would be perfect for me to experiment on.”

That’s right, the System had picked up on Fang Ning’s smarts while Fang Ning had picked up on the System’s hard-heartedness.

After watching the System serve justice for so long, it had become normal for Fang Ning to think that all extreme evil-doers should only be met with death.

The System continued, “I’ve never thought about capturing a live person to lock into the jail; what are you planning, Host?”

Fang Ning answered, “You’ll find out in a bit. It’s part of my plan.”

After figuring out the mistake from before, Elder Feng suddenly thought of something that caused his face to pull into one of shock. He immediately moved to commit suicide.

The next second, he was immediately seized by an iron hand that had appeared out of nowhere.

…

Fang Ning stared intently at Elder Feng, who had been sent into the System Jail.

He then witnessed Elder Feng’s body fall to the ground before he laid there motionless.

Fang Ning sighed and spoke to the System, “Sure enough, the living cannot be locked in there. It seems that only spiritual forms can be locked in there.”

A moment later, he watched Elder Feng’s spirit rise slowly.

Elder Feng’s spirit seemed to be quite lost; as if he had just woken up and was trying to figure out where he was.

A voice immediately sounded from the solitary cell next door.

Anderson exclaimed, “Hmm, it would seem an acquaintance has ended up next door.”

Elder Feng replied, “Anderson? Even you have been locked into this place, how is that possible? You must have used the battle of spirits, so how could you have lost?”

Anderson answered in defeat, “I did use that ability, but this True Dragon is quite odd. After I rushed into his body to battle his spiritual sense, I just couldn’t find my target. After I was locked into this unique space, I finally understood that his spiritual sense had been here all along. As for how that True Dragon manages to control the body in the real world, I’ve finally understood the logic behind it too. It is extraordinary; so I admitted defeat willingly. Let me tell you…”

Elder Feng interrupted him, “Don’t talk skill with me, I won’t understand a thing. Tell me, can we continue living?”

Anderson retorted, “You still want to continue living? You should know you’re already dead right? Isn’t that your dead body?”

Elder Feng lowered his gaze to check and erupted in fury right after, “D*mned Vigilante A, the Bai family was right. If you’re unable to defeat him, committing suicide would be better off. I wanted to kill myself upon seeing him. Now that I’m dead, he doesn’t even want to let my spirit go. He’s even crueler than you, Anderson!”

“Haha, he’s slightly kinder than me. At least he won’t use the souls of the innocent to experiment on. Now that he has you locked up, it would do you best not to anger him or I’ll get dragged into things too.”

A System Notification read, [Feng Gensheng is enraged at Host. Feng Gensheng’s Aggro is at full, absorption triggered, one Aggro Bar has replenished 30 percent.]

The System was dumbfounded, “There’s something like that too? You really do know how to play, Host. Why didn’t you do this earlier?”
