Chapter 1862 Farewell (I wonder if it will be even hotter next month)

After this, the morale of the survivors was not very high, which was understandable. After all, the plague might be a problem that could be overcome, but an attack from outer space was another matter. Of course, Duanmu Huai also taught them how to identify gene stealers, but it was hard to say how much use these would have.

Although everyone hoped that the Genestealers lurking in this city were the only group, Duanmu Huai rationally stated that this was impossible. Considering that this world was not like the Hive City of the Empire World, which had a harsh climate and environment that forced people to live in a small area, this meant that the Genestealers could infiltrate any part of this world.

Well... of course, according to Duanmu Huai, the best solution is the extermination order.

It's a pity that he can't do it now.

Duanmu Huai still remembered that the players had joked that it was a good thing that there were no such things in their world, otherwise they would probably choose to commit suicide. And now the people in this world are almost the same. Of course, fortunately, they do not have a clear understanding of the threat of evil gods and Zerg, and with the power of gene stealers, it will take a long time to infiltrate or even subvert this planet. In fact, Duanmu Huai wanted to let the Corruption Stain and the Hive Mind fight each other, but he also knew that the Hive Mind would most likely not be interested in a planet polluted by the Corruption Stain.

It's like chocolate coated with excrement. No one would eat it unless they were starving.

So in the final analysis, you have to do it yourself.

Duanmu Huai knew that the problems in this universe were far more than these. Perhaps for the people of this planet, they only needed to worry about the current corruption and the gene stealers that were likely to appear a hundred years later. But for Duanmu Huai, he was more worried about the existence outside the Milky Way.

Not to mention the Hive Will that was tricked by him in the confrontation of wills, and those outer gods—Duanmu Huai now only hopes that the universe is big enough, preferably infinitely large, so that at least they will not turn their attention to the Milky Way.

As for the future, Duanmu Huai felt that he still preferred the fighting and killing work of the Inquisition. After coming to this world, he had countless opportunities to become a human leader like the Emperor. But Duanmu Huai did not make this choice because he knew he was not that kind of person. And in Duanmu Huai's opinion, there was nothing to envy about this position.

Think about it, the high leaders of the human empire either go crazy or die from overwork, and even the dictator who holds all the power becomes mentally disturbed due to exhaustion, so you know that this kind of ruler is the most difficult. Duanmu Huai still thinks that his current job in the Inquisition is pretty good. He usually works leisurely, and then goes to save the world when he finds any clues. He doesn't have to think too much about anything, and eliminates groups of aliens, heretics and demons.

Simple, direct and crisp.

It's the same now.

The further they walked, the more certain Duanmu Huai was that they were about to reach their destination. Because the current environment was becoming increasingly harsh. No normal plants could be seen on the ground anymore. The entire land looked like a fermented dung heap, full of feces yellow and a foul stench. There were still animals moving around, but they were no longer normal creatures. Even the azure sky was covered in a strange yellow-green color, and from a distance, the city ahead was even more horrible. Those buildings made of reinforced concrete were now covered in flesh and blood, forming a bloody and twisted forest.

"Right there."

Duanmu Huai stared into the distance, was silent for a moment, and then looked at Mary.

"Call the others."

When the bell rang again, the survivors gathered in the church again. Duanmu Huai stood in front of them, staring at everyone.

"The culprit is right in front of us."

Duanmu Huai stared at them and spoke.

"As long as this bastard is eliminated, the plague raging in this world should also dissipate. Of course, this is not an easy task, I know you all know it... But that's not what I want to talk about."

Duanmu Huai said this and changed the subject.

"You may think that I am here to cheer you up, like before, telling you what to do and what you should do before the battle, and then encouraging you to fight for humanity... But unfortunately, this time it is not the case."

Having said that, Duanmu Huai paused and looked at everyone.

"We have come to say goodbye to you."

"boom-----!"

As soon as these words came out, the survivors in the church suddenly started to make noise. They stared at Duanmu Huai in amazement and shouted loudly. No one knew what they were shouting, and perhaps even they themselves did not know. The whole church was filled with noisy, inaudible noise.

Duanmu Huai stood there quietly, then he stretched out his hand and waved it. Although his movement was not big, everyone gradually stopped. Then, the short-haired girl walked out of the team and stared at Duanmu Huai.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, what do you mean by this? Isn't our next goal to destroy that evil god and save the world?"

"This is my goal, but not yours."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"Next, we will go deal with the evil god, and you have other tasks."

"Other tasks?"

"Yes."

Duanmu Huai nodded vigorously, then he glanced at everyone calmly.

"Live."

"……………………?"

"Do you remember the doctrine of the Inquisition?"

“… Protect humanity at all costs and eliminate any threat to humanity.”

"Yes."

Duanmu Huai looked at the short-haired girl and nodded. "Perhaps you are too focused on the latter part of the sentence, so you ignored the former one."

"?"

"Protecting humanity is the key."

Duanmu Huai pointed at her and them.

"You must remember one thing. In this world, on this planet, you are the only faithful believers who have been blessed by the Inquisition and who fight for it. Only you understand the situation of the enemies that humans face, and only you understand what humans should do when they encounter these aliens, heretics, and demons. I rescued you from those ruins, not to make you cannon fodder. You need to survive and pass on all this. To put it bluntly, maybe you, a group of pure survivors, are the only ones left in this world. If you all die, then it is possible that the human race in this world will be completely destroyed."

Having said that, Duanmu Huai spread out his hands.

"By that time, even if we destroy the evil god, what will it matter? Wouldn't that mean we have not fulfilled our duty?"

"………………………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's answer, the survivors fell silent. Indeed, they had just thought about joining Duanmu Huai in fighting their way in and destroying the evil god, even at the cost of their own lives (after all, their souls would return to the Inquisition).

But now, they finally realized that their existence is not just cannon fodder.

To put it more seriously, whether the human beings in this world can resist the next threat and continue to survive depends on their strength.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt that the burden on their shoulders was much heavier. Even the short-haired girl began to stutter.

"So, what should we do?"

"You did well, Mikazuki."

Duanmu Huai stared at her.

"So I am here to formally appoint you as the Inquisitor. You can be in charge of the work of the Inquisition in this world. As for how it should be done, I will not interfere. You should know that the Inquisition is not actually involved in political affairs. Our approach is to eliminate all threats to humanity and then protect humanity. We do not care about anything else and we do not care."

Duanmu Huai said this and looked at everyone again.

"Remember this. The future of mankind is in the hands of mankind itself. How you want to walk your path is your own problem. I hope you can walk well, but how to walk is not up to me, and I am too lazy to say it. After all, once I say it, if you encounter any problems in the future, you may use me as an excuse. So my attitude is that as long as it does not violate the rules of the Tribunal, you can do whatever you want."

"So...what now?"

The short-haired girl is usually a capable and shrewd woman. Except in bed, this is the first time that Duanmu Huai has seen her look so confused.

"Lummiel has found a suitable place. When we go down, Medea and Irisviel will control the floating island to send you there. That place is far away from the contaminated area and everything is relatively safe. But from now on, it depends on you. I hope your time in the Inquisition has not been in vain, and I hope you can stay strong and live on. That's it."

"Then...will you come back?"

"It depends."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"If everything goes well, we may come back again in the future and list this planet as a recruitment planet. I hope that by then, everything will be fine with you."

"…………………"

The short-haired girl was silent for a moment, then she looked at Duanmu Huai, stood at attention, then crossed her hands in front of her chest and lowered her head.

"I accept your orders, Grand Inquisitor."

Led by the short-haired girl, the survivors behind her also bowed their heads and saluted. Duanmu Huai just nodded.

"Very good. From now on, the fate of mankind in this world will be in your hands."

(In fact, after this, Duanmu Huai did return to this planet again by chance, but that was a long time later. And he also fulfilled his promise and listed this planet as the recruitment planet of the Inquisition)
When Duanmu Huai's feet stepped on the soft ground again, the floating island had turned a corner and disappeared at the end of the sky. Ogis climbed onto Duanmu Huai's shoulders almost before landing. Others were not much better. Lorena, contrary to her usual behavior, occupied the other side of Duanmu Huai's shoulder, and Naruse Mio also manipulated gravity to keep herself floating in the air, trying not to touch the things below that looked basically the same as excrement.

Only Menme-satori didn't care at all. She walked clatteringly in the mud, as happily as a child jumping in puddles in her newly bought rain boots.

"Okay, stop playing."

Duanmu Huai stretched his body.

"Everyone, get ready. We are going to take care of the dirtiest, ugliest, and most corrupt guy in the world."

As Duanmu Huai spoke, the shadow beneath him began to surge, and then quickly shot out, engulfing Duanmu Huai and others. A moment later, a tall divine machine stood on the ground, staring at the corrupted city in front of it, with angry flames flashing in its eyes.

"All right."

Duanmu Huai stood in the control room, moved his arms and clenched his fists.

"Let's go chop that fat bastard to pieces!"
