Wizard's Journey

Chapter 898 Inescapable

"Situ Mo!?"

Li Qingya was covered in Sha Chixie Qixi's blood. She stared incredulously at the pale, hunched-over man in the distance, whose right hand was tightly gripping his left, whose eyes were looking at her with longing. She forced an ugly smile.

Kang Peng had two broken ribs and was struggling to stand up with the help of a metal cane. He looked at Situ Mo in disbelief. Could it be that... that he really did this?

How could he possibly possess such immense power?!

At the same time, in Li Qingya's eyes, Situ Mo's data had undergone a series of changes.

Situ Mo, Vitality: 117, Yuan Energy: 1200!

Unbelievable, Li Qingya stood there in a daze, her eyes wide open. Her Yuan Energy had actually reached 1200 points, which was already the standard for an A-level evolved human. Only a few large bases like Base A and Base M had A-level evolved humans!

Has one of his special abilities awakened and evolved?

While trying to convey a smile that indicated he was alright to Li Qingya, Situ Mo was simultaneously struggling to control his completely uncontrollable left hand.

"What...what exactly do you want?"

Situ Mo roared inwardly at this terrifying demon, whose dreadfulness was on full display at this moment.

Everyone experiences countless sufferings in their destiny; this is the true nature of fate.

However, when a person has the devil by their side, even if they know that the devil is leading them step by step into the abyss, they still make a deal with the devil in order to escape the pain brought by fate, and then sell everything they have.

"Hehehehe, what do I want? I'm just fulfilling the contract, doing what I'm supposed to do. This arm of yours is no longer yours, it's mine!"

The sinister words that originally came from the devil's pact now came from his left arm, accompanied by a dark and undisguised laugh.

To a Saint Mark Wizard, a creature that hasn't even reached level one is like an insect toyed in the palm of your hand. Showing hypocrisy to an insect is utterly boring, and a Dark Wizard skilled in disguise has long since disdained such tactics.

Situ Mo signed a devil's contract with Green, but there is still a chance. As long as he becomes the master of the world, he will be free from the contract.

But is that really possible?

"I... Ah! You devil, I won't let you succeed! I'd rather lose this left arm!"

As someone with an indomitable spirit and considerable wisdom, Situ Mo naturally felt an unprecedented sense of crisis regarding Green's invasion of his body. He strongly resisted it, and in a fit of impulsive anger, he slashed his own left arm with the Blood Groove Sword.

"Situ Mo!"

Li Qingya's scream made Situ Mo stop his Blood Barrel Sword.

"What...what are you doing? Are you crazy? Put down the sword!"

Li Qingya ran to Situ Mo's side, dodged Situ Mo's sword, and looked at Situ Mo in disbelief. What was he doing?

"I, I..."

"Hehehehe, I advise you to give up this ignorant behavior. The transformation into your arm is just a facade. Do you really think that cutting off this arm will harm me? Be smart, you lowly creature. From the moment you signed the contract, you have been unable to escape my grasp. Hehehehe..."

After letting out a triumphant sneer, Green said in a low voice, "What's wrong with making a deal with the devil? At least your beloved female creature is still alive, isn't she? When your wife and daughter died, if you could trade your life for their resurrection, would you have made the deal?"

"You! You can bring them back to life?"

Situ Mo asked incredulously.

The moment of silence seemed to have touched upon some of the devil's past.

"If I could, I would so much like to make a deal with a devil like that, but alas, there isn't one. You should just stay true to yourself and be an evolved human! Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, in this female's eyes, you now possess the potential of an A-level evolved human, so don't let her down, hehehehehe..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the devil's voice gradually disappeared, and at the same time, Situ Mo regained control of his left arm.

However, Situ Mo knew that this arm was no longer his own.

"What stupid thing are you doing?!"

With tears streaming down her face, Li Qingya looked at Situ Mo with a puzzled expression.

"I...I can't control it. It's an incredibly evil force, and I can't let it run rampant!"

Situ Mo couldn't reveal the truth directly, but he hoped that Li Qingya could understand what he was saying.

"What's the point of power being either evil or good? How can you be so naive? You clearly possess such immense power, while the evolved humans are suffering terribly in this world, yet you're suppressing your overwhelming potential out of fear. How can you be so selfish? Do you know how much the Director has sacrificed for the evolved humans? Do you know what the Doctor sacrificed for the CF-2 base?"

With tears streaming down her face, Li Qingya looked at the man she once thought she could entrust her life to.

"You don't know anything, you know absolutely nothing. You're just a selfish bastard, watching other powerless evolved humans sacrifice themselves, yet unwilling to unleash your full potential and take on more responsibility for the future of evolved humans!"

Seemingly revealing immense disappointment, Li Qingya turned and walked away.

Situ Mo's outstretched right hand froze in mid-air, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to express it.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

On the other side of the main battlefield, the doctor seemed to have aged more than ten years. Two streams of blood flowed from his nostrils, and his eyes rolled back. In an instant, not only the B-level Shachi Evil Rhinoceros that was fighting against him, but also one after another relatively weak Shachi Evil Rhinoceros fell down.

"PhD!"

"PhD……"

The C-class evolved humans, now freed from danger, looked gratefully at the highly respected doctor.

He sacrificed his life force once again to save everyone from danger. Who but the people around him would know that he was only forty years old?

He sacrificed far too much for the Savior Project.

"Don't just stand there! Keep attacking the Shachi Evil Rhinoceros King! As long as we survive its berserk state and allow the poison of the Ganoderma lucidum to take effect, it will have no chance. This year's annual hunt will be complete!"

The doctor shouted, urging everyone to put aside their grief and charge towards the Shachi Evil Rhinoceros King with all their might.

Half an hour later.

As the director, panting, dug out the Chaos Crystal Core of the Shachi Evil Rhinoceros King and held it high, Li Qingya wept with joy amidst the cheers of the crowd. The doctor, as if letting go of everything, fainted, just like after the previous outbursts.

Two different voices were arguing in Situ Mo's heart.

"What kind of devil? If you don't fight and instead cower in fear, you won't even have the chance to become a C-level evolved human. Do you still want to experience the same pain as before and disappoint Li Qingya?"

"He is the devil. He is setting a trap, luring you into the abyss of darkness. He not only wants your soul after death, but he also wants to possess your body. He wants to strip you of everything. You are no different from those devils of the chaotic world—equally selfish, greedy, and evil!"

"Hahaha, without him, you might already be food for those mutated beasts. What right would you have to change the situation of evolved humans? At least, the opportunity to complete the Savior Plan is right in front of us!"

In a daze, Situ Mo followed Li Qingya back to the CF-2 base.

……

The Wizarding World, the Secret Realm of the Tower of Oblivion.

"Hehehehe, the devil's contract, as expected of the most primitive power of the invasion plan wielded by those foreign evil gods. Knowing its evil and terrifying nature, yet unable to resist its temptation."

After wiping the Dream Mirror clean, Green looked at the Phantom Lotus he had cultivated and then headed towards the Corpse Refining Synthesis Array Research Institute.

"That thing has obviously noticed my presence and is planning to use me, huh? It's quite confident..."
