Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 83 021. A New Path to Break the Deadlock

You Donglongma looked at the crowd, and they looked at him in return.

The young man silently lowered his head and nodded heavily.

"Leaving aside the curse, everyone must be on high alert in the current situation."

"From now on, we will mainly be working as a group. Will anyone with physical disabilities be able to keep up?"

The dragon horse said confidently, "Yes."

"First, the latest intelligence."

"Ranshan Hall has been frequently attacked recently. The latest situation is that the elites of Ranshan who came from other cities to reinforce the city were ambushed near the outskirts of the city. Only one core member survived, while the necrophiliac was spared."

"The Ranshan Hall, which has been receiving special attention during this period, has basically lost its fighting capacity. This is an attempt to leave us to fight alone."

“The enemy? Our enemy is—” Ryoma felt that there was still a lot of information he hadn’t grasped.

Greed explains: "Among the White Walkers, not all of them want to live in harmony with humans. Some of the newer generation of White Walkers inherited the arrogance and stubbornness of their elders, and also possess the radicalism and fiery temper of youth. As a result, a group of people emerged who advocated White Walker dominance, believing that only absolute force could unify the world. They infiltrated the political arena and gradually formed a faction."

“They are absolutely racist, pulling and pressuring humanity while confronting us, and calling us conservatives.”

Greedy glanced around at everyone, his gaze finally settling on You Dong Longma, and said, "You Dong, we are weapons, institutional weapons that serve political ideals. You must understand that we are fighting for our ideals."

You Donglongma stopped him, saying, "No, we are not weapons. We all have the right to live, don't we?"

"Life is a luxury for us."

He said, "You have to understand that the left-wing forces are becoming increasingly arrogant, and they've even started targeting our own people. It's hard to imagine what humanity will go through in their hands."

You Donglongma understood the unspoken meaning of greed. In fact, they all had a general understanding of the murderer and were already on guard against potential enemies. Their political views and beliefs were incompatible, and the frequent conflicts had frozen their relationship to a freezing point.

In the eyes of the left wing, humans are nothing but food, and the way to treat them is probably through domestication.

A primitive and violent law of survival.

"Since we all know who the enemy is, why don't we just go and take care of them?" Ryoma asked.

“You know, a claim is an intangible and abstract concept. We don’t even know which of our friends and family members hold this claim or support this faction. When the interests of millions of people are involved, the conflict is no longer just a simple matter of fighting with violence.”

Greed curled his lip, his expression growing increasingly gloomy as he spoke.

"To give a simple historical example, your impulsive act could trigger a complete war between the two sides, and it wouldn't just ignite the Otherworld. At that point, no one would have time to consider the situation of humanity, and the flames of war would eventually spread to the human world."

"That would become—a real world war."

"The biggest disadvantage in the current situation is that the left wing is not afraid to wage war at all, while we are hesitant to act because of human constraints."

"Politics is a war of the smart, but with countless side stakes. If we don't want to see thousands of White Walkers go out of control and take to the streets to slaughter people, we need to be careful with every case and not give the other side any opportunity. On this point, we share the same view as humans, which is why we are jokingly called conservatives by the other side."

You Donglongma looked greedy. He truly lived up to his reputation as the leader of the team. His exceptional foresight and calm demeanor made people feel safe and secure even in this eerie atmosphere.

"Of course, we won't sit idly by and let them attack us. We will avenge every wrong and pay for every blood debt. We won't hold back on that." Lazy raised his eyes, his usual carefree demeanor gone, replaced by a hint of languor.

Ryoma, however, sensed something different in his eyes than he had recently—danger.

Jealousy and laziness are old friends. Seeing his expression, she put her arm around his shoulder, leaned her head with her ponytail close, and laughed, "What trick have you come up with this time?"

It was only when Ryoma moved that he noticed him. Although he usually spoke only more frequently than Gluttony, and his weak presence made him seem rather inactive, he still gave people a rather reliable feeling.

"Since the murderer is so determined to ambush us, why don't we lure them into a trap?" Lazy raised his index finger and analyzed.

"Isn't Lord You Dong nominally affiliated with the Ran Shan Hall? We can take advantage of this opportunity to gather the internal forces of the Ran Shan Hall, attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Would the Burning Mountain Hall agree to take the risk?" Dong Longma asked uncertainly.

"If they want to keep their position as the top branch in Zuojing, they have no choice but to take risks, otherwise the other branches will have already divided them up." Lazy waved his hand.

"As for us, we will retreat behind the scenes and wait for the right moment to strike."

Greed rubbed his chin, pondering, "Since we've come this far, we need to offer a 'bait' of sufficient value."

"Export the wanted criminal with the ultimatum." Lazy snapped his fingers.

"Who?" someone asked.

“Hongdou Sect and Qingtian Gang must be their henchmen.” The furious man rarely spoke.

Greed nodded: "Wrath and I investigated all night. The bounty hunters who attacked a few days ago belonged to the Sanlihe Hunter Group. They received false intelligence from the Qingtian Gang, claiming that there were no experts in the Ranshan Hall. The Hongdou Sect secretly spent a lot of money to provide them with military equipment and a map of the Ranshan Hall's hotel, which gave them the courage to kill the Ranshan Hall."

"They actually joined forces?" Ryoma was somewhat incredulous; he still remembered the conflict between the two sides at the jazz bar that day.

"Well, it seems that both sides are more intense in their hatred of Ranshantang now."

"But Burning Mountain Hall is an officially recognized law enforcement agency responsible for apprehending wanderers and criminals among the Others. They dare not confront them directly, so they rely on the hunters."

"That makes sense when you think about it," Jealousy pondered.

"At first glance, that seems to be the case, but what if there's an even more powerful figure behind it?" Laziness, like a chess player, seemed to have already seen the situation ahead with its profound gaze.

"The reshuffling is to wipe out our power and replace it with the power of the left-wing faction. There must be a dark hand behind all this."

Thinking of this, the short man's eyes lit up: "By arresting the leaders of these two factions, we can uncover the evidence behind them."

"So our most urgent task now is to catch them red-handed, seize their weakness, and turn the tables."

"If you were the enemy and killed Ayu, what do you think we would do?"

When he speaks lazily, his expressions become more varied, no longer the lazy and carefree person he used to be. It's as if he's interrogating himself, and then a series of thoughts come out of his mouth.

"One possibility is that they lose their minds and seek revenge; the other is that they act cautiously to be on the safe side. If it is the former, their unstable state of mind will create opportunities for them to attack; while the latter will seriously delay our mission progress."

"Whether we advance or retreat, they will reap the benefits. You must know that we are already on important missions. Every day we delay gives them more time to implement their next plan."

"But if we follow these cases and find the mastermind behind them as quickly as possible, then we'll have them in check."

After explaining, the short young man leaned back lazily on the sofa.

Looking at the short young man, You Donglongma was surprised that Lazy was so audacious and unconventional, even knowing that he was being watched, he still chose to take the risk.

Laziness may seem carefree, but its strategic thinking in crucial moments is no less than that of greed and rage, making it a perfect strategist. Although this guy has never shown his abilities, his intelligence alone has given him a certain degree of influence within the team.

Envy and Gluttony listened silently, Greed was lost in thought, and Wrath remained expressionless.

After a long silence, he arrogantly declared, "Action."

A hammer is fixed.

There have been quite a few rambling posts lately, but due to the need to develop and connect the plot, I'll stop here. I also apologize for padding the word count; although these are all dialogues, the content is quite rich. If you think it's too short, I'll add a few more words to each chapter… and of course, the pacing won't be slow.
