Abyssal Distortion Files

“So, let's reiterate the rules of the game.”

“You have a total of twenty-eight mysterious files in your hands. From now on, those monsters… belong to you.”

“Once they die, you will die with them. If the files have not fallen into the Deep Sea level, then you cannot interfere.”

“And I don't have any files. You can try to destroy the church. If you succeed, from that moment on, you are the main body.”

“I will die here.”

Li Yang and the others each had their own thoughts. Wei Jing was crazy and untrustworthy, and Zhou Mo had already lost control. He was no longer the person he used to be, but a monster with his memories.

Previously, Li Yang had wanted to tell Zhou Mo about his suspicions of the Prophet, but now it seemed that there was no need to say anything.

There was no one to trust anymore.

The Prophet's actions were the best answer to Li Yang's suspicions. The Prophet had been planning for so long in order to reach the fourth-tier deep sea.

He had now achieved it, and no one could contend with him anymore.

At this moment, a black mist suddenly opened up in front of the three of them.

Chen Ye stepped through the gate of black mist and came before the three of them, “Good morning, everyone. I believe you must have many questions now.”

“It doesn't matter, I will answer all your questions one by one.”

“There are many mysteries in this world. They are watching the various events of yesterday from all over the world. With the failure of the Ancestral Serpent, those mysteries have also begun to stir.”

“For them, now is a rare opportunity, but at the same time, they have also learned of my existence.”

“So they will be wary of me, even wary of us, but this still cannot change what they are about to do.”

“What we have to do is very simple: seal them and kill them.”

“We have plenty of time to prepare. Now, you can begin.”

… …

After the meeting.

Li Yang took the elevator to the second floor of the church, the Shallow Light Layer.

The soldiers who were present yesterday, whether injured or dead, were all here.

“Where is this place?”

Shen Xin looked at Li Yang with a puzzled expression. Li Yang said calmly, “The inside of the church, the City of Dreams.”

“Yesterday, you have already seen that there are many monsters in this world, and the church is an organization that exists to deal with those monsters.”

“Now, you have two choices: accept memory erasure and forget everything from yesterday, or retain your memory and become a member of the church.”

“If you become a member of the church, I hope even more that you can become my direct subordinate, and I will try my best to win you the opportunity to obtain extraordinary power.”

“Of course, no matter what you choose, I will respect your thoughts.”

Shen Xin and the other soldiers looked at each other. They were all soldiers, and dealing with monsters was not their mission. Defending their country was.

But what if their opponents were not people, but monsters?

If monsters wanted to deal with them, then what could they use to defend their country?

What?

Shen Xin fell into self-doubt. Li Yang patted him on the shoulder, “Someone has to do it. Even if it's not us, there will be other people to deal with those monsters.”

“But I hope even more that that person is us. Although this may be risking our lives, but… what we care about, is it really our own lives?”

“Cowardly soldiers can't go to the battlefield. That's what the platoon leader told us back then.”

Shen Xin was about to speak, but at this moment, a man walked out from behind Li Yang. He exuded a chill all over his body.

There was also an unspeakable evilness in his eyes. He walked past Li Yang and looked at the soldiers who had already died.

“Are you done talking?”

“If you're done, I'll take these dead people away.”

Zhou Mo raised his right hand, and black energy instantly poured into the bodies of the dead, “Wake up, from today onwards, I am your sect master.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpses slowly opened their eyes and began to struggle to get up from the ground.

Resurrection of the dead?

Shen Xin looked at Zhou Mo in shock, “He is…”

Li Yang shook his head as he looked into his eyes, “He is also a member of the church. He can command the dead. I know you might want those who have already died to rest in peace.”

“But, we need helpers now, even… those who have already died.”

Shen Xin lowered his head, “Li Yang… sometimes I really admire you. I may not have as much courage as you.”

“I can't judge whether this is right or wrong, so… can I trust you?”

Li Yang nodded, “You are all my comrades, now and in the future.”

“But even if it's someone unrelated, I will save them. My past thoughts were very simple and pure.”

“I just wanted to clear out the scum in society. Until I discovered the existence of those monsters, I realized… that with my ability, it was far from enough to contend with them.”

“So I joined the church and borrowed strength from those mysterious things.”

“Because I know that only monsters… can deal with monsters.”

“And my current thought is just to save one more person as much as possible.”

Shen Xin lowered his head and smiled, “Sure enough… you are still so silly.”

“But this time, I think you are right, so even if it's foolish, I'll accompany you… and be foolish once.”

Zhou Mo took the dead away and established the Soul Sect on the second floor of the church, while Li Yang took the remaining living people away and established the Sword Sect.

Wei Jing watched them expand and fell into confusion.

“What about me?”

Those two got a group of elite subordinates, so what should he do?

Thinking of this, Wei Jing went directly to the third floor. What if he didn't have soldiers or generals?

At worst, he could promote a few from the grassroots of the church. He didn't believe that such a large church didn't even have a talented player?

As soon as Wei Jing arrived on the third floor, he saw two young men kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

“This is the church's training?”

“Releasing lions to chase us?!”

Lu Yaozong looked at the man in front of the training ground entrance with a dumbfounded expression.

The man just yawned, “Only in the face of life and death will human potential be stimulated. Isn't this a matter of course?”

“Have you heard such a story? The reason why a gazelle is fast is because if it slows down, it will become a cheetah's lunch.”

“And the reason why cheetahs can't catch gazelles is because even if they don't catch them, they'll just go hungry.”

“So only when people face the moment of life and death is it possible to break through their own limits.”

Lu Yaozong felt that what the other party said made a lot of sense, “So everyone comes here like this?”

The man thought for a moment.

“That's not the case.”
