The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Does this mean I've been caught slacking off?

Feeling a little guilty, Xilin pushed open the door and adopted the demeanor of Dr. Lin, nodding to Yan, the big tool.

"What's wrong? Is there something you can't handle?"

And what she meant by that was...

If you can handle it yourself, then do not come to me.

Let me enjoy slacking off; it's a win-win situation for everyone.

He understood the unspoken meaning, but Yan Rulong didn't want to be taken advantage of again this time.

He pretended not to understand, and instead of going inside, he stood at the door and said:

"Dr. Lin, the situation in Bincheng is now basically under control, and 90% of the aftermath work has been handled. The rest has been handed over to suitable personnel."

A heavy, aged aura emanated from him, and Yan Rulong looked much older than his actual age.

He lowered his head slightly and took out a letter, handing it to Shirin.

Shirin blinked repeatedly as she looked at the title on it.

[Resignation Letter]

"Minister Lin, please allow me to resign."

???

Etc., etc!

Why are you doing this too?!

……

……

"That's really convenient."

"There are now more ways to run away when in doubt."

Wearing a crow mask, Ning Feng appeared in the teleportation hall of the courthouse. After a quick glance around, he naturally headed towards the exit.

The entire map of the courthouse has been stored in Ning Feng's mind.

After accepting the role of adjudicator, Ning Feng received a number of accompanying items and corresponding privileges.

Ning Feng didn't know the specific permissions, but he felt they certainly wouldn't be low.

Putting everything else aside, clues can be found just from some details.

For example, Ning Feng is more skilled than No. 86 in the use of teleportation arrays.

Last time, when No. 86 brought Ning Feng back to the courthouse, he had to go through a lot of trouble to find a hidden beacon to send him back.

Ning Feng, on the other hand, was able to teleport directly from the Watchers' branch to the Inquisition with that coin.

Aside from the fact that he can only use it once a day for a round trip, he doesn't need to consume any other resources or expenses.

For example, as long as Ningfeng searches, the corresponding answers can be found, and there has never been a situation of insufficient permissions.

This includes maps, security systems, and even some surface information about the legends...

As Ning Feng wandered through this somewhat gloomy world, he felt his own thoughts starting to become strange.

"It's a bit strange, really..."

Recalling the brutal actions he had taken against Margaret under duress before leaving, Ning Feng felt a strange sensation in his heart.

"She actually...didn't resist?"

That's strange.

Or rather, it's not that they don't resist at all, but their resistance is very limited.

While Margaret cannot be said to be completely submissive, she was practically in a state of complete non-resistance.

The resistance was less than I expected.

Despite glaring at Ning Feng, Margaret couldn't control her desires and swallowed the blood with trembling hands.

He swallowed it with humiliation, his eyes slightly red as he stared wide-eyed.

This feeling and this appearance are truly...

I feel happy.

But what caused her not to resist?

After thinking about it without reaching a conclusion, Ning Feng kept this question in his mind.

We can talk about that when we get back; there are more important things to deal with right now.

"...This mission has been dragging on for so long, I think there should be some changes."

After learning more about it, Ning Feng understood that although the adjudicator didn't have many tasks, it was extremely rare for someone to go half a month without a single task.

Powerful figures intervened in Ning Feng's mission issuance, delaying the process.

"I just don't know if they're friend or foe."

Are you trying to stall for time and make me panic?

Or are you planning to take more time to prepare more thoroughly? Is preparation complete now?

To be honest, Ning Feng could guess some of it, but he couldn't quite figure out the other party's intentions.

He was in the open, while others were in the shadows.

The number of the opposing force is unknown, their strength is unclear, and whether they are friend or foe is uncertain.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Ning Feng is at a significant disadvantage.

But everything has two sides.

Ning Feng was unaware of the other party's background, as were those who were curious about him.

They also didn't know Ning Feng's background.

This swordsman appeared out of nowhere, without any prior warning or record.

To know nothing about his abilities, personality, and style of doing things is unacceptable to some people who like to keep the situation under their control.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of the stringent conditions for obtaining the "Words of Judgment" knows that it is an almost impossible challenge.

This seemingly insignificant figure, a completely unfamiliar adjudicator, suddenly became the one who accomplished this feat.

It's hard not to make some negative associations.

In their eyes, Ning Feng, who was backed by the Watchers, had already been branded with the Watchers' mark.

At this point, a question will arise in their minds:

Is the Swordholder a "container" specifically cultivated by Overwatch?

---Aside---

I still have a fever, and I feel terrible...

Requesting monthly votes, comments, and subscriptions...

When I'm feeling down, I start having all sorts of wild thoughts, even contemplating whether or not I should try to reach the Silver Alliance...

Another trip to the hospital, and a major problem arises in the second update...

Ugh.

Chapter 140 Containers

【container】

A name that carries a specific connotation.

It doesn't refer to a specific item with special effects, but rather represents a type of person.

One type is a special group of people who are carefully selected from the moment they are born and meet certain conditions.

Their existence instills corresponding tasks, and everything, including personality and even ideology, is arranged and cultivated in the desired direction.

Their purpose in existing is to ultimately achieve the corresponding conditions.

It may contain certain souls, or possess certain items, or at some point be ignited as kindling...

For the organizations that cultivate containers, there's no question that they paid the price and reaped the rewards of success.

It is justified.

But for the person involved, it is incredibly cruel.

Everything he perceived, the people he met, and the things he thought were all arranged and monitored by someone.

He has no self, his beliefs are all pre-designed, no one truly loves him, and he owns nothing of his own...

No, it's not entirely absent either.

They still have something that belongs to them.

death.

I cannot decide how I am born, but I can decide how I die.

Once the truth is revealed, most of the containers will go insane and eventually die.

However, this death is not the peaceful demise of the self.

Those who manipulate the fate of others will eventually taste the bitter fruit of their actions.

Containers often retaliate fiercely before self-destruction, transferring some of their pain onto the other.

No organization wants to see such an outcome.

Therefore, almost all organizations set corresponding restrictions on containers to destroy them before a backlash occurs.

Except for one organization—the Watchmen.

If it comes to opposing the gods, the Watchers will stand firmly on the side of humanity and the world.
