Chapter 95 -95 Violating Rules_1
“A mole?”
Hu Xiaoyuan was taken aback, seemingly unable to grasp the meaning behind Colin’s words initially.
Seeing the Cleanup Squad leader’s puzzled expression, Colin’s eyebrows raised slightly. Had the man really not noticed?
Colin didn’t intend to continue speaking in riddles and subtly hinted, “Take another good look at the content on that piece of paper.”
Hu Xiaoyuan unfolded the ‘Book of Fate’ paper she was about to put away and read the contents. With Colin’s deliberate prompting, she quickly noticed something amiss—
Why were the cultists able to appear on the road Mr. Lin had taken before him?
Mr. Lin came from the direction of the square, which was intelligence only they were supposed to know, wasn’t it?
She suddenly remembered that when they had wanted to set up an ambush on the road earlier that afternoon, they had encountered the ‘Mother of the Red Moon’s’ believers. After a skirmish, they had to retreat.
Likewise, if it weren’t for the cameras they had left behind, which had spotted Colin, they might not have been able to meet up with him in time.
“Many people have looked at this piece of paper—the ‘Frontier Guards’ over there, us, and…”
“Your range of suspicion is too broad. If you really can’t figure it out, just let it go.”
Colin waved his hand dismissively, “Right now, I only trust you, and that’s that. Later, you come with me to support the rear. I plan on collaborating with the ‘Frontier Guards’ over there and his squad to thoroughly suppress the Stone Buddha, which is the source of it all. Everything should then come to an end.”
He didn’t disclose that he knew the black figure was the real entity, in case it tipped off whoever was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
As for trusting Hu Xiaoyuan? That was just talk…
Colin hadn’t detected the scent of any cultists in the building or the vicinity, so he wasn’t sure who the mole was. In his view, anyone present could be the mole.
Including the one before him.
And his mention of the issue was just to bluff, but unfortunately, he hadn’t bluffed anything out.
“That cultist named Wu Sheng had always seemed to think I had teammates, but the ‘Book of Fate’ clearly stated I came alone, carrying five bottles of soy sauce. This suggests that the mole either couldn’t transmit much information or hadn’t seen the detailed contents…”
Colin had some guesses in mind, but he wasn’t particularly concerned about it.
“I understand…”
Hu Xiaoyuan nodded, then continued, “If that’s the case, please be careful around me too. It’s possible there’s no mole, just someone who’s been hypnotized and leaking information unwittingly…”
You’re making this more complicated, Colin thought as he interrupted her with a raise of his hand, “Alright, alright, if we start splitting hairs like this, there’ll be no end to it.
“In the face of absolute power, all else is as trivial as chickens and dogs.”
With ‘God Gear’ on his person and undertaking an F Level trial task, Colin still had some confidence.
Now it seemed, indeed, much easier than dealing with a ‘Descent Type’…
Having said that, Colin pulled out a Snickers from his pocket and was about to take a bite when he suddenly heard a number of people approaching from outside the hall.
Colin put the Snickers into his mouth and glanced at the group, instantly determining they were all ordinary people.
They must be survivors from the local towns…
“What’s going on?” Hu Xiaoyuan furrowed her brow and stood up to meet the people.
At that moment, the crowd exchanged uncertain looks until finally, a woman spoke up.
“Commander Hu, I overheard you say you’re going to deal with some trouble…”
“Yes, what about it? With the support we’ve received from outside, once he resolves the issue, everyone will be safe.”
Hu Xiaoyuan briefly said a sentence, but this did not reassure everyone. The woman glanced at Colin, then continued:
“It’s not that I don’t trust him, but could we be sent out of here before departing? Otherwise, what if—what if it fails?”
“Exactly, you’re capable. Even if it fails, you can survive, but we can only wait to die…”
“Right, right, if it fails, we might even become a burden. Could you please let me out first? That young man is powerful, we all saw him hacking his way here…”
“It’s not that we’re being inauspicious, Hu Team, but… protecting us is your duty, isn’t it? You can’t just abandon us, right?”
Watching the crowd’s growing clamor, Hu Xiaoyuan furrowed his brows, not quite knowing how to respond.
“Everybody, everybody…”
Colin called out twice, but seeing the crowd did not quiet down, he drew his revolver and fired a shot in an unoccupied direction.
Bang.
Finally, everyone quieted down, each looking at Colin with fear.
“First, I have to tell you that I can’t leave before the problem is resolved.”
As Colin spoke, his gaze swept over them, trying to spot the mole hidden among them.
He felt that at a time like this, a group of people suddenly making trouble…
It seemed too much of a coincidence.
Unfortunately, apart from being somewhat out of control emotionally, he didn’t seem to observe anything out of the ordinary in their faces. And them being trapped here for half a month and breaking down was within the realm of normal.
In fact, if they had been trapped for so long and still acted as if nothing happened, that would be abnormal.
Still, he suspected that the reason these people came out might be due to someone inciting them from behind.
“How could it be? We just saw you, with a kitchen knife, casually hacking your way through to rescue us. Isn’t saving us a piece of cake? Please, I beg you, we don’t want to die here, wuwu…”
As she spoke, one of the women, looking to be in her sixties, couldn’t help but start crying.
“Young man, that kitchen knife must be something powerful, right?”
“With that kitchen knife! We could leave by ourselves!”
“Why don’t you leave that thing with us? If you fail, we can still give it a try…”
Damn, Hu Xiaoyuan felt a sudden chill in her heart as she suddenly remembered one of the internal rescue guidelines:
If ordinary people are present at an abnormal site, when circumstances permit, please avoid showing the special nature of the special items you have in front of them, or the transgressor will bear the corresponding responsibility for the adverse consequences caused by this reason.
This rule seemed perplexing, but she knew that each one was established through various sacrifices bit by bit.
It was precisely because Colin had shown his tool that trouble arose.
Colin didn’t know the rescue guidelines, but looking at this group of people emotional breakdowns, he did remember something.
There was a child in the orphanage whose father was a firefighter. When his father went into a fire to rescue people and was about to succeed during a corridor evacuation, one of the disaster victims lost their breathing mask…
Then, that person snatched the child’s dad’s breathing mask and managed to escape.
Afterward, the child’s family collapsed, and he was taken to the orphanage by the old Dean…
Of course, according to the final reports, the child’s father died a hero, “voluntarily” giving others the chance to live.
Colin never thought he’d encounter something like this one day.
