Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2528 Killing is not as good as killing yourself

Lord Sorendir did not appear until the three gluttons had gone far away, and the night in Moor was filled with peace and tranquility.

Although Fu Qian thought that the siren demigod would definitely not leave early given the explosive content just now and the fact that he hadn't deliberately caught the mouse.

Ultimately, faced with the astonishing chaos, Sorrendir, like the Greedy Worms, received enlightenment from the Rebirth Club and roughly figured out the situation.

After some consideration, he decided to prioritize the overall situation and refrain from causing trouble for this mysterious organization for the time being to avoid unnecessary complications.

I'm not a pacifist or someone who's overly tolerant; it's just that the situation doesn't seem too dire yet, and there's still hope.

As we just learned, the club's ambiguously behaving person casually pointed out that many threats had actually been eliminated.

For example, Yasui's sabotage plan.

The three seconds have already left, and those victims are completely unaware of their own predicament. As long as we take them down and control them, the threat will be completely gone.

The mysterious demigod who had confronted them in the Land of the Dead was also a member of the Rebirth Club, making his behavior suddenly seem more traceable.

Not to mention that it sounds like that person has already left.

From Sorrendir's perspective, there's no need to even figure out the purpose of Rebirth Club's trip. All they need to do is patiently wait for the next storm, at which point things will be much calmer.

Of course, it's best to keep an eye on the movements of this mysterious demigod inside the house—click!

Fu Qian did not linger for long, and the next moment he opened the door and left, heading straight for the dock.

……

So what would be the effect if everyone in that room died?

Before he left, he was obviously preparing to go back to sea. As for whether Sorendil would see him off, how much turmoil he would have in between, and what his final thoughts would be, he didn't care at all.

Before leaving, I made a special trip here, mainly to gain some prestige for the club.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there's no reason to waste any more time.

Of course, on the way to the dock, Fu Qian didn't mind giving a little thought to a certain detail from his conversation with Laurie and the others, and commenting on the game between Yasui and the Sirens.

The group in the office are here to sabotage Sorrendir's promotion, and they're pretty sure about that.

How exactly will it be destroyed? By dying here.

What would be the impact of dying here? — Wise dead… the balance of life and death.

My previous experience in the Realm of the Dead has taught me a lot about this, the most important of which is that whenever a storm arises, any intelligent being will be reflected there, thus creating a balance between life and death.

If it's not broken, everything will return to normal after the storm subsides; at most, one might subconsciously gain some spiritual enlightenment.

If you break through, you'll either be trapped in the realm of the dead, like Serana.

Either they embark on a path of no return and officially become "dead".

What if someone in Moore dies during a storm?
This completely shatters the balance between life and death, doesn't it?
There were fewer living people in this room, and more conscious dead people in that room.

In this situation, would the existence of the miracle creature be slightly disturbed, leading to the storm stopping earlier or something similar?
Yes, in Fu Qian's view, this is the greatest significance that the deaths of that group of people might bring.

Logically speaking, given the population size of Moore, it's not surprising that there are several deaths every day.

However, the contradiction lies in two aspects: firstly, the need to die precisely in the storm; and secondly, the fact that these are superhumans who might cause even greater imbalances. Therefore, it's not entirely contradictory. Even considering this premise, the various strange actions of the Sirens and Yasui suddenly become reasonable—

Sorendir was willing to take risks to advance, and then persuaded the organization to cooperate.

They clearly had some understanding of the nature of the wise dead, so their first action was to evacuate all their own people, leaving only the group on the ship.

Otherwise, if Yasui wanted to cause trouble, he only needed to launch an attack on their lower-ranking personnel.

Even with such preparations, the opponent clearly understood the nature of the wise dead and quickly devised a countermeasure—if I can't kill your people, then I'll kill my own.

As a result, Moore now has an escort agency office and a group of mercenaries who could strike at any time.

……

It has to be said that it still has a lot of the feel of a back-and-forth hand-to-hand combat.

As for why such an important matter is handled by external personnel?

It does seem a bit illogical. Logically speaking, even if they belong to the same organization, it shouldn't be too difficult to make the killer and the victim not know each other.

However, if we consider this in conjunction with another question, it is not difficult to come up with a guess – why did Sorrendir have to seek excitement at this time?

As has been argued previously, it is highly likely that the Wise Dead became more active after Sorendil began to act, so this reasoning is invalid.

Is there anything special about this time of day compared to usual?
Of course there is. The conflict between the Sirens and Yasui is in full swing, and the Night Watchers are certainly well aware of it.

As everyone knows, the Night Watchers don't care about you extraordinary beings killing each other, but it's taboo to involve ordinary people.

Is it possible that forcibly interrupting the storm by breaking the balance between life and death would bring some side effects that could harm ordinary people?

Given the close correspondence between the two moles, it shouldn't be considered unfounded speculation.

Normally it would be fine, but in tense moments, if anything goes wrong, not only will the Sirens be in trouble, but Yasui, as the opposing side, will definitely be suspected and unable to escape responsibility.

In other words, His Excellency Sørendiur is truly taking a risky move this time, turning a disadvantage into an advantage and using the tense situation to his advantage against Yasui.

By attempting a promotion in front of the other party, he was betting that Yasui would be less likely to cause trouble than usual, because it would be harder for him to distance himself from the situation.

If things really go wrong, Siren's little scheme might not be able to be kept secret, but Yasui will definitely bear the main responsibility.

These are already turbulent times, and if they are further targeted by the Night Watchers, they could very well fall apart.

Although risky, it was already a rather ruthless scheme.

The Siren leadership must have taken this into consideration as well. With the opportunity to use one enemy to devour another, they could develop in any way without losing out, which is why they were willing to waste resources doing this at this time.

Unfortunately, without the constraints imposed by Emperor Yasui, the Yasui Group's aggressiveness was even greater than expected, and they actually took drastic measures to obstruct it.

The only safety measure is that the deaths are caused by our own people and by hired assassins. This provides a buffer in case something really happens and we are held accountable.

Of course, now that everything seems fine, Lord Sorrendir can continue with his grand plans...

A moment later, standing on a passenger ship that had finally sailed out of the port, Fu Qian gazed into the distance at a figure in the darkness of the dock.

Although in his estimation, Sørendil didn't have much of a chance left.

The embers of Lady Neferi's fire have gradually died out, and the wise dead are settling down.
