Serial Number: 068

Looking at the three heads on the ground.

Although Xin Yang's brother did not know who these three people were,

the Ghost God Cult's red-hooded figure seemed to regard their heads as extremely important.

His brother understood. These people were definitely not ordinary.

"Brother, let's find a place and give these three a proper burial," his younger brother said in his heart.

"Alright..."

After burying them, "Brother" returned to the body and handed control back to "Younger Brother."

After Xin Yang emerged again,

he looked at the four graves beside him.

"Although I don't know who you three really were..." Xin Yang muttered as he sat beside the graves, "you must have been heroes of Bright City! Don't blame me. Conditions were rough, so I could only find a random place to let you rest for now."

"Glasses, Pei Qi."

"I buried the two of you together!"

"You don't mind, do you?"

"If one day, I kill every last specter!"

"I'll come back here..."

Do you know?

Perhaps Bright City, several kilometers away, was still awash in neon lights and revelry.

They were dancing in slow-rock bars.

They were eating barbecue and drinking beer in barbecue restaurants.

They were watching movies in cinemas.

Perhaps no one knew of your sacrifice at this very moment.

Sometimes I wondered why the people of this world were all so "adorable."

Until I met those two people.

Those two who looked foolish when they smiled.

Those two who, upon looking at each other, forgot everything around them.

They made me understand.

What humanity was fighting desperately to protect in this world.

It was the unwillingness to see the people most important to them harmed!

It was the resolve to slay specters!

It was the justice in every person's heart...

Then let "Brother" and me change this world!!

I promise you.

I'll make this world like Earth.

No one will live in constant dread because they fear specters.

I will let the people of this world

be able to stay by the side of those most important to them every day.

I will let that hateful Specter World know.

The human world is forbidden ground for all specters...,

After saying that, Xin Yang rose and left.

He headed toward the core area.

He wanted to see.

To see

what exactly had happened in the core area!

Bright City Park

Core area.

Xin Yang witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Human after human charged toward the same direction, one after another.

Even in death, they remained in charging stances.

Blood flowed into rivers, with countless severed limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere...

What a desolate sight.

Xin Yang stood where he was, unable to let it go for a long time...

"It's time to go, Younger Brother..."

"Brother, why do you think I'm so sad..."

"Obviously, we've only been in this world for a month..."

Brother remained silent for a long time.

"Brother's" voice was still devoid of any emotion!

"Younger Brother, I don't know."

"I don't know why, but it seems my emotions aren't as rich as yours."

"My world has no sympathy, no sorrow, no fear."

"All I can feel is anger..."

"Not protecting you fills me with endless anger..."

Wu City

Xin Yang's home.

It had already been two days since he returned home.

Over these two days,

Xin Yang had been tossing and turning constantly.

He hid in bed and did nothing!

He neither ate nor slept.

No one knew what he was thinking!

Brother did not know how to comfort him either.

Because ever since they were little, whenever this happened,

Brother had always been utterly helpless.

These past few days,

his younger brother's computer had been repeatedly playing a news report.

"Hello, dear viewers before your television screens!

I am Zhang Bingbing, a chief reporter for Humanity Daily.

Next, I will report some heartbreaking news.

--

On June 16, a tragic incident occurred at Bright City Park.

A Calamity Anomaly-rank specter domain descended upon Bright City Park.

Bright City Park instantly expanded severalfold.

The Ghost God Cult took advantage of this opportunity and joined in.

The Ghost God Cult held a summoning ritual inside Bright City Park.

They summoned the Calamity Soul-rank Drought Demon to Bright City Park.

Meanwhile, outside Bright City, all Spectral Energy users arriving to provide support were intercepted!

Bright City lost 4,371 Spectral Energy users that day.

Zheng Yangrui, commander of the Bright City Spectral Guard, perished!

Wang Hao, president of the Bright City Spectral Energy Association, died a heroic death!

Liu Feng, principal of Bright City No. 1 High School, died a heroic death!

Next, we will interview the only survivor from the scene!"

"Hello, student!"

"Hello, reporter!"

"Student, could you briefly introduce yourself?"

After Li Xiaoqiang slightly adjusted his appearance, he faced the camera with a solemn expression.

"Of course, reporter."

"Hello, dear viewers before your television screens!"

"I am Li Xiaoqiang from Bright City No. 1 High School."

"On June 16, I was originally still in my noodle shop."

"Suddenly, Bright City Park began issuing wave after wave of spatial alarms."

"My shop is right across from the Bright City Trial Hall."

"At the time, I was also among the first to learn that a Calamity Anomaly-rank specter had descended upon Bright City Park."

"The Bright City Squad in the Trial Hall gathered all the Spectral Energy users on our street."

Li Xiaoqiang paused briefly before continuing:

"The captain of the Bright City Squad told us that the specter radar in the Trial Hall had detected a Calamity Anomaly-rank specter domain descending upon Bright City Park, with at least seven or eight hundred Calamity Specter-rank specters and dozens of Calamity Anomaly-rank specters arriving."

"He asked whether we were willing to follow them and kill the specters within the domain. There was no pressure."

"At the time, everyone on the street chose to go with them."

"After arriving at Bright City Park, the captain of the Bright City Squad told us weaker Spectral Energy users to kill specters only around the perimeter."

"He himself led the Bright City Squad toward the core area."

"The rest of us began splitting up to kill specters."

"Because that would improve efficiency."

"But during the process of killing specters."

"Suddenly, an aura belonging to a Calamity Soul-rank specter erupted from the core area and headed toward Bright City's urban district."

"The commander, the president, and the principal hurried back to the city."

"But that Calamity Soul-rank specter had not left at all."

Li Xiaoqiang began to choke up:

"That Drought Demon began hunting the Spectral Energy users in Bright City Park."

"All the Spectral Energy users in Bright City Park did not sit still and await death. Instead, they gathered to fight the Drought Demon."

"Finally, after the Drought Demon had killed more than a thousand of our brothers."

"The three leaders returned."

"Under the command of the three leaders, at first we were able to fight the Drought Demon with ease."

"But then, that Drought Demon suddenly became stronger."

"So strong that it seemed to be more than merely Calamity Soul-rank."

"The three leaders held on bitterly. Thousands of brothers died heroically to protect the Bright City behind them."

"And I could only hide underground."

Li Xiaoqiang could no longer hold back his emotions and broke down crying before the reporter's camera.

"Because my teacher told me to live."

"He told me I was Bright City's hope."

"My companion specter is the Earth-Hearing Specter, Serial Number: 068."

"Underground, I kept watching every move the Drought Demon made."

"Just when I thought the Drought Demon was about to head for Bright City."

"I saw an unbelievable scene..."

Brothers, show your support and help us advance to the next round this week.
