Chapter 213: Sixty-two, long time no see, father (6K)_2
The Abyss has had an incident?
Lyra’s pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately asked what had happened.
As one of the vice-commanders of the Devil’s Army, Lyra certainly had the right to know about these things, so the Devil Knight immediately told Lyra about the situation in the Polluted Land.
After listening, Lyra immediately frowned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Polluted Land.
She hadn’t expected such a significant change to occur in the Abyss just a few days after her return.
If it weren’t for a more pressing matter, Lyra would have wanted to return to the Polluted Land now to begin the exploration of the Abyss… after all, that was something she had been longing for for ten years.
But precisely because there was something more important, Lyra had to suppress this urge and said nonchalantly, “I see, you all should hurry to support them then. Leave the guarding here to me.”
The Devil Knight was somewhat surprised: “You want to stand guard?”
“Yes, since Deni hasn’t returned yet, I’ll just wait for him here.” Lyra turned her head to look at the Devil Knight in front of her, “Why, you think I can’t do it?”
“Of course not,” the Devil Knight said. “With you here, we can indeed reassign more people to support the Abyss. When do you plan to start?”
“Tonight,” Lyra waved her hand and strode off, “Wait until you’ve finished your shift, and then I’ll take over.”
The Devil Knight saluted Lyra.
Everything went smoothly.
Even better, because of the incident in the Abyss, the entire security force of the Fifth Zone was severely lacking, which was clearly an advantage for Lyra.
It meant there would be even fewer obstacles facing her and Gerard’s operation tonight.
But… would it really go that smoothly?
Lyra felt an inexplicable unease.
And behind her, the masked eyes of the Knight who had just saluted her were emitting a faint, shimmering light.
…
“So that’s how it is.”
Yong Xin said softly as he looked at the Devil Knight who was saluting him.
“You know it’s tough to take action in zones one to three, so you directly targeted the Fifth Zone, which appears even harder to act upon, even dragging Lyra into it… Indeed, he has also begun to resort to any means necessary.”
The Devil Knight asked, “Lord Yong Xin, do you need our cooperation?”
“Hehe, no need,” Yong Xin said indifferently, “Your staying there might actually arouse their suspicions, so just leave as she requested. It’s good timing since the Abyss is short on people.”
“Yes.” The Devil Knight promptly took his leave.
And then Yong Xin called over his subordinate.
“You heard everything just now, didn’t you?” Yong Xin asked.
The subordinate nodded: “I heard it.”
“Then you should know what to do.” Yong Xin looked at his subordinate, slowly saying, “Order the Skeleton First to the Fifth Squad to secretly enter the Fifth Zone. The rest of the squads will continue to maintain the hunt for Gerard without arousing his suspicion. But the First to the Fifth Squad may carry any amount of heavy weaponry and immediately execute Gerard on sight, without hesitation.”
As he spoke these words, Yong Xin saw his own right hand trembling slightly.
“Are we not seeking to capture them alive?” asked the subordinate, “And what about Lady Lyra?”
His right hand trembled more intensely, yet Yong Xin’s expression remained unchanged, always wearing a faint smile.
“The same, execute on sight.”
The subordinate took the order and left.
Meanwhile, Yong Xin turned his gaze to his right hand, his smile growing wider.
“The reason you’ve persisted in not dying up to now… it’s because of those two, isn’t it?” Yong Xin chuckled lightly as he turned to look out the window. Under the clear sky, more clouds had gathered, with distant thunder rumbling, “So after tonight…”
“You can finally rest in peace, Ian.”

…
Past noon, the weather took a sudden turn for the worse.
Clouds that had been sparse now covered half of Lyra City.
Though it hadn’t started raining yet, there was an unbearable heaviness and stuffiness blanketing Lyra City.
It was just like the city’s overall atmosphere.
Ju walked out of the school alone, watching the visibly tense adults hurrying to pick up their children as if observing another world, where everything was unconnected to her.
After such a major incident this morning, Lyra City was almost under martial law, and the school naturally didn’t dare to continue classes, immediately notifying parents to pick up their children.
But Ju had no parents, so she had to leave the school alone, watching as one child after another was led away quickly by their parents. Even the bullies who had always tormented her were no exception, their formerly arrogant demeanor replaced by looking like quails in their parents’ arms.
Yet even so, as they passed by Ju, they mocked her with scornful looks, as if laughing at her for being parentless.
Luckily, Ju was used to it; she just lazily kicked a rusted screw on the ground into the nearby artificial lake, listening to the “plop” sound it made, then blankly watching the ripples spread and slowly fade.
Hmm… not very interesting.
Ju thought.
Should she do what she used to do, stuffing into the shoes of kids she disliked those balls which, when stepped on, would explode with a splatter?
But with so many parents around now, it seemed like it wouldn’t be easy to get away with it.
Ju pondered this.
And then, she overheard the conversation among the passing parents who were frantically discussing.
“What happened this morning?”
