Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 216 Bai Yuekui: Take me to see the Abyss Walker

Mark gazed at the empty elevator platform leading back to the lighthouse and sighed softly, while Jingnan, standing beside him, already had tears in her eyes.

The farewell ceremony was finally completed.

"Excuse me, I may have to take my leave." Jingnan tried hard to control her emotions.

Mark nodded. "I understand."

He knew that Jingnan was Morgan's adopted daughter. Although the Three Laws abolished family relationships in the old world, human emotions were only suppressed, not completely eliminated.

He could understand the pain of watching a loved one pass away.

Jingnan turned around, lowered his head, and walked towards the navigation control room.

Although she was prepared, she still couldn't help but tremble when Morgan actually left.

Tears welled up under her eyelids, blurring her vision.

She needs to be alone for a while.

"Mark, come up here."

Bai Yuetian's voice came from the second floor: "New city lord, let's have a chat."

Mark took a deep breath.

Looking around, the city defense troops were cleaning the floor, and the rioting crowd had dispersed in all directions.

He's not needed here for the time being.

“I’m here,” Mark replied.

He took a few steps outside, then turned to look at the second-floor railing.

Lighthouse space is limited, as is the ceiling height.

Mark estimated the distance, then took a few steps, stepped on a box, and leaped into the air.

As his body reached its highest point, he swiftly stretched out his hands, grabbed the edge of the second-level platform, and then lifted himself up in a pull-up position.

A few seconds later, he stood in front of Bai Yuekui and Bai Yuetian.

Mark glanced at Bai Yuekui without making a sound. For some reason, Bai Yuekui gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

"Mark, congratulations."

Bai Yuetian said sincerely, "From today onwards, you are the new city lord of Lighthouse. I hope that under your leadership, Lighthouse will move towards a better future."

Mark nodded: "Although I'm not sure how to do it yet, I will do my best."

Bai Yuekui silently observed Mark.

In preparation for the operation, she had secretly observed Mark multiple times while he was carrying out ground operations, but this was the first time she had met Mark face to face.

“You can have the people at the lighthouse pack their belongings. Once Yue Kui extracts ASH’s consciousness from the Kloto system, everyone can move,” Bai Yuetian said.

Bai Yuekui remained silent.

There are four truly valuable things on the lighthouse.

One is the population, another is the Abyss Warrior Armor, and the third is the ASH consciousness within the Kloto system.

There's also Mark himself.

Mark hesitated. "Where to move to?"

He already knew about the Krotor system from Morgan.

Morgan made sure to explain everything before he left.

"I can't tell you right now, but it will definitely be like paradise for you," Bai Yuetian replied vaguely.

Mark raised an eyebrow: "Looks like you're planning to move us to the Old World."

Bai Yuetian was stunned.

At this point, Mark asked, "Have you really built the ground up so well and restored the production activities of the Old World?"

His eyes were full of curiosity.

Bai Yuetian came to her senses.

I was startled; I thought Mark had guessed the destination.

He chuckled twice: "Of course, you and Ran Bing must both like that place. By the way, after you are promoted to city lord, who will be the commander of the hunters?" Bai Yuetian changed the subject.

“I haven’t decided yet,” Mark said hesitantly.

Bai Yuetian looked surprised: "Isn't it Ran Bing?"

“She doesn’t want to be the Hunter Commander; she wants to be the Commander-in-Chief of the City Defense Forces,” Mark said hesitantly.

Logically speaking, as the commander of the Wilderness Hunters, his promotion to city lord should have meant that his adjutant, Ran Bing, should have filled the vacancy in the commander's position.

But Ran Bing had other ideas.

He was the city lord, and she was the commander of the city's defense forces, just like Morgan and Victor.

This can ensure the stability of the beacon regime to the greatest extent possible.

So that he wouldn't be left all alone when the hunters went down to the ground to carry out their missions.

"The city defense commander is quite good, what are you hesitating about?" Bai Yuetian asked.

Mark sighed softly, "I've only just become the city lord, and I'm already parachuting Ran Bing into the city defense army commander. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win over the people."

Ran Bing's suggestion is reasonable.

But he hasn't figured out how to get Victor to give way to Ran Bing yet.

Victor has commanded the city's defense forces for many years and has a large following. Even if he removes Victor in the name of the city lord, it would be difficult for Ran Bing to be parachuted in as the commander.

Bai Yuetian answered without hesitation: "If you're worried about that, then let Ran Bing be the commander of the Wilderness Hunters, and give her authority so that she can make the Wilderness Hunters bigger and stronger."

"After you move, I will provide all the supplies the lighthouse needs."

"The Hunters don't need to perform ground missions as frequently as before. They mainly stay at the Lighthouse. You can use the Hunters as city defense troops."

Bai Yuetian spoke eloquently: "Expand the scale of the Wilderness Hunters, strengthen their weapons and equipment, reduce the number of city defense troops, and finally integrate the city defense troops into the Wilderness Hunters."

Mark paused slightly.

"Can you provide a stable supply of materials for the entire lighthouse?"

He hesitated before replying, "Medicines, food, drinking water, engineering materials, fusion energy."

The lighthouse has a large population.

The monthly consumption of supplies was an astronomical figure for an individual, and he found it hard to believe Bai Yuetian's promise.

"Don't worry, I never make empty promises," Bai Yuetian said firmly.

The Lighthouse has only a little over 10,000 people, which is less than the population of any random community in Hisakawa City. Supporting them is not a big deal for Hisakawa City.

Hisakawa City will not suffer a loss either.

In another timeline, the world is about to descend into chaos. Hisakawa Defense's intelligent features are too prominent, making it difficult to operate under the spotlight, but the Lighthouse group of unregistered individuals is different.

Hiring the lighthouse makers to muddy the waters will surely bring huge rewards to Hisakawa.

“Okay.” Mark nodded slowly.

At this moment, Bai Yuekui suddenly spoke up: "Has that man named Charles had some kind of extraordinary encounter?"

"A serendipitous encounter?" Mark shifted his gaze to Bai Yuekui.

Although Bai Yuekui only spoke now, he could sense that between Bai Yuetian and Bai Yuekui, Bai Yuekui was the one who controlled everything.

Moreover, Bai Yuekui and the lighthouse have a significant connection.

“It is said that he has met the Lord of Light and Shadow,” Mark replied.

Bai Yuekui's eyes gleamed: "Explain in more detail."

Mark thought for a few seconds and then replied, "I don't know the specifics either."

"All we know is that Charles went to the ground once when he was a child. Everyone who went with him died. When the search and rescue team arrived, he was the only one still alive. He said he saw God."

“I have seen the god,” Bai Yuekui murmured.

Mark hesitated for two seconds before asking, "Is there a problem?"

“He didn’t see God, but I suspect he saw something else,” Bai Yuekui replied without hesitation.

She changed the subject: "Take me to see the Abyss."
