Chapter 99: Incident in Yancheng (19)

"Xie Jin, we've already come this far. Are you sure you want to go back now? Aren't you curious about what's inside?"

Inside the huge cave, at the entrance of the black basalt hall, a middle-aged man with a blessed face looked at Xie Jin with a bright light in his eyes.

Others also paid attention to Xie Jin's expression.

Xie Jin waved his hands impatiently: "Alright, Pan, I'm only here to use those powerful source beasts to stretch my muscles and see what the wind was like just now. There are so many people here, if there are really good things inside, without me, wouldn't it be one less person to share with you?"

After saying that, Xie Jin turned and left.

"Wait for me, I also want to show my fists." The speaker was Shen Ji, chairman of the Supervisory Committee.

The two of them walked out of the cave, one in front and one behind, without any reluctance.

Looking at their departing backs, Friedrich sighed with a melancholy look on his face:

"Alas, with the two of them leaving, it seems that those of us who stayed behind are really greedy. I am ashamed to be standing here at this moment."

"I don't know if the others are greedy or not, but you are well prepared!" Charlotte glanced coldly at Friedrich, who had a pretentious expression, and looked at the three people beside him.

Friedrich smiled modestly and elegantly. "After all, this is about the Supreme Being. As his admirer, I naturally have to share this news with my friends who also want to see him."

"Hypocrisy!" Charlotte snorted coldly, "If you dare to have thoughts that you shouldn't have, don't blame me for taking action against you!"

Friedrich still had a gentle and decent smile on his face: "Little Charlotte, those who stayed here all wanted to think about other things. If you don't believe me, ask your dear president?"

"The president and I just want to thank the one who gave the World Book to the Library for safekeeping. Your purpose is completely different!"

Hearing this, Friedrich raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Hong with a smile.

"President Xu, lying to a lady is not gentlemanly behavior."

"Our president will never..."

Before Charlotte could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Hong:
"Charlotte, a lifespan of two hundred years may seem long to ordinary people, but it is too short for beings like us."

"President, what are you talking about!?"

Charlotte looked in disbelief at the man she had known for a century.

There seemed to be a certain faith crumbling in his eyes.

"Charlotte, don't you want the Library to completely own the World Book?" Xu Hong paused and continued, "Since there are really gods in this world, and the old gods are old, why can't new gods appear?"

When Charlotte heard Xu Hong admit his purpose with his own ears, like Friedrich and others, he was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

She felt as if she didn't recognize the person in front of her!

"So you told them the secret that the Library has guarded for generations? That's why he brought these people here!?" Charlotte pointed at the people next to Friedrich, "So many presidents have been able to keep this secret well, why!? You are obviously a hero of mankind!"

Charlotte stared at Xu Hong.

It seems as if he wants to find the shadow of the former human hero in him.

Friedrich laughed strangely at Charlotte's questioning: "Little Charlotte, you really are like a little girl listening to fairy tales, innocent and cute. 150 years ago, there were only ordinary people in the world. Ordinary people would never have the idea of ​​killing gods. They would only worship gods forever. Fortunately, we are not ordinary people."

"President, do you think so too!?"

Charlotte still didn't believe that the other party had really betrayed his oath.

Still trying to find the familiar side of the other person.

But all she felt was strangeness!

There was no ripple in Xu Hong's eyes: "Charlotte, no one doesn't want to have more powerful power and a longer life."

Hearing Xu Hong's words, Charlotte staggered back two steps. The look in Xu Hong's eyes changed from unfamiliarity, suspicion, confusion, shock, to gradually filled with anger of betrayal.

Seeing this, Pan hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Charlotte, you can think about it from another perspective. We are stronger, can't we protect humans better? God loves the world, and since the Supreme Being is about to fall, he must understand our approach."

"Hahahaha." Charlotte laughed like crazy, his eyes sweeping over everyone in Yancheng Prison one by one, "I used to think we were different from the people from the aristocratic families, but now it seems we are indeed different, you want more than them!"

After saying this, she stepped up the steps one step at a time, walked to the door of the hall, and looked down at everyone present.

"Charlotte, why are you doing this?" Pan Maitreya's face, which looked like the Buddha, lost its smile.

Xu Hong looked calmly at Charlotte who wanted to stop all of them by himself.

"If you don't want to participate, it would be smart to leave like Xie Jin and Shen Ji did. You and I have worked together for many years, Charlotte, I don't want to do anything to you."

"Stop talking nonsense! I shouldn't have given the position of president to you in the first place!" Charlotte stood alone in front of the door of the black basalt hall, with his red hair flying.

"You are stubborn." Xu Hong's eyes were gloomy. "Don't you feel that your strength has been draining away?"

Charlotte opened her hands and tried to use her own strength.

She discovered that she wanted to condense a fire dragon, but only condensed a fireball.

She looked at Xu Hong in shock and anger, "What did you do to me?"

"We have worked together for many years, how could I not understand your character?" Xu Hong said calmly, "Don't worry, I will just make you lose your strength temporarily. Next, I will let you sleep, and when you wake up, you will forget everything here, and then we can work together well again."

Almost at the same time Xu Hong finished speaking, Charlotte fell down.

The other people looked at Xu Hong with a serious look in their eyes.

Charlotte is S-level just like them!
Xu Hong actually dealt with her so easily, even though he had the advantage of striking first.

But if it were any one of them, it would not be possible to do it as simply and neatly as he did, without even having to fight!

Feeling everyone's gaze, Xu Hong still looked like an elegant scholar and explained to everyone: "She trusts me, so I can use the extraordinary object B-01 on her. I can't use the same method on you."

Everyone is doubtful.

But I didn't dwell too much on this matter.

They came here with only one purpose. Since Xia Luo was not a fellow traveler, it would be best for Xu Hong to solve the problem.

"President Xu, you are courageous." After praising him, Friedrich gestured to everyone, "Now that we gentlemen have the same goal, who will go through this door first?"

As soon as this question came up.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Because they had just forced their way into the cave, each of them had some minor injuries, but it was not the injuries that made them hesitate.

But it was the terrible pressure.

Although it was only for a moment, it almost made them kneel down in surrender.

I dare not have any more false thoughts.

Just when everyone was hesitating, Xu Hong walked to the door. Originally, he just wanted to push it tentatively.

But what no one expected was that he just gave a light push.

Black basalt columns as thick as four or five meters sank into the ground.

The entire hall appeared before everyone.
