reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

The communication on the terminal communicator also originates from outside the door.

"Supervisor, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but this is a messenger from the core city. He has urgent business."

Bai Ye nodded to the infected messenger.

The messenger looked exhausted. He handed a letter to Bai Ye and whispered, "Mudrock is in danger."

Then he collapsed.

The Rhodes Island operator standing nearby quickly helped him up.

"He insisted on delivering the letter to you personally and did not want us to pass it on. I will take him to the rest area first."

Bai Ye opened the letter with some confusion.

The envelope contained a magical recording device with a recording clip inside.

The recording environment was not good; the background was noisy, and the language used was very chaotic. Bai Ye could only make out a general direction.

That's the border between Letania and Kazdel.

Fortunately, Rhodes Island has an office in Ratania. The messenger sent by Mudrock contacted the core city through the office, and then contacted White Night through a messenger in the core city.

"Why would that guy go to Kazdel? Is he visiting relatives? But why would he have an enemy who could threaten her?"

Bai Ye really couldn't understand it.

After all, Mudrock was a very capable cadre of the Reunion Movement.

Back then, Mudrock was able to detect White Night sneaking into the mercenary camp. At that time, White Night even thought Mudrock was a burly man. She never expected that beneath the imposing armor was a delicate young girl.

"I have to go."

White Night nodded to Skadi and Specter, then left the room.

He quickly arrived at the deck of Rhodes Island, opened his inventory, and "Wind Chime" landed in his right palm.

A clear and melodious sound faintly reached Bai Ye's ears, and he felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

This is an experience that "Arc Light" and all the equipment a player had in the past could not provide.

Grasping the sword blade, Bai Ye almost vanished from the spot.

"So fast!"

Bai Ye calmly passed through the clouds. At this moment, he could no longer hear anything and broke the speed of sound with almost no effort.

With this sword, Bai Ye was able to use his powers more skillfully, which was exactly what he wanted his weapon to have.

Aside from being sturdy and sharp, all that's needed is to enhance the powers that Bai Ye already possesses.

No other fancy abilities are needed.

Simplicity means pure power.

After passing through the clouds, Bai Ye could no longer see the ground, but fortunately he could sense the wind, so he did not lose his way.

These seemingly insignificant and overlooked things are actually Bai Ye's most powerful asset.

……

This is it... the place where we recorded the audio.

The white night fell silently to the ground.

This is the forest where Letania and Kazdel meet, and thick fog hangs over the forest.

When Bai Ye descended from the sky and plunged into the forest, he sensed something was wrong. The area had been sealed off, and Bai Ye believed that his arrival had probably been known to others.

But Bai Ye didn't care.

He looked around. The place was messy, and there were indeed signs of human activity, but most of it was from fighting and fleeing.

That's right. From the time Mudrock sent the distress call to the core city, and then to the contact being made with Rhodes Island's White Night, a considerable amount of time had passed.

The mudstone should no longer be here.

"Help me find a friend."

Bai Ye gripped his sword and closed his eyes.

But he saw something more.

The ever-present wind became his eyes and ears.

Bai Ye activated his accelerated thinking, and countless pieces of redundant information flooded into his brain.

But this flood of information did not overwhelm him.

Accelerated thinking can speed up information processing, and at the same time, the "wind chime" in Bai Ye's hand also plays a role in filtering and intercepting information.

With abilities similar to seeing and hearing the heavens and the earth, Bai Ye quickly located the mudstone.

In addition, Bai Ye also found some figures with malicious intent.

"Got you."

Bai Ye opened his eyes and disappeared from the spot once again.

Chapter 75 Are you talking about me?

"Run! Mudstone!"

"Run! If we can get to that place... and escape back to Kazdel, we can survive!"

“Mudrock, it’s my fault that we’ve all been harmed. We shouldn’t have bothered with those infected people from Letania… We came to the wrong place and dragged you down with us.”

"Let's go back! Take the brothers and go back..."

In the pool of blood, a lone Sarkaz from Kazdel was pierced and lifted into the air by a strange crystal spear.

"No, you did nothing wrong. These infected people need help and need to be saved. It's just... we were just too unlucky."

Mudrock grasped the hand of the Sarkaz man before him.

"..." The girl lowered her head silently.

Mudrock wasn't really confident she could lead these infected out of the forest. She wasn't even sure if escaping back to Kazdel would guarantee their survival.

The infected person from Letania standing nearby was on the verge of collapse: "The messenger has been gone for eight days, we've lost 12 people, but we don't know who's hunting us down!"

“Abandon us and go. We can help you hold off these guys.”

Mudstone shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, we still have a chance."

"The only certainty is that they are warlocks, and they are not simply motivated by killing; otherwise, we would all be dead by now."

"Opportunity? What is it? Taking advantage of the enemy's arrogance and contempt? But, Mudrock, you've reached your limit. You can't use magic anymore."

Mudstone looked up: "The messenger escaped before being caught. Eight days have passed, so he should be here soon."

"Um, is the White Night you're talking about really that magical?" The Sarkaz, who had never seen the White Night, had heard the name from Mudrock more than once.

In order to send the messenger away, they paid the price of eight infected people's lives.

Mudstone, however, firmly believed: "Other Reunion cadres may be strong enough, but not fast enough. Or they may be fast enough, but not strong enough. Bai Ye is the fastest and strongest of them all."

"And he is the actual leader of the Sarkaz mercenaries, he won't abandon us... even though I have left the army."

"Anyway, everything will be alright once Bai Ye arrives."

……

Is someone talking about me?

A fierce wind howled past, rustling the surrounding dead trees, and then a figure descended from the sky.

Hearing that familiar and relaxed voice, Niyan breathed a sigh of relief.

The visitor was none other than Bai Ye. He finally located the mudstone using the wind as his guide.

Thankfully, she's still alive.

"What's going on with you all? Why are you here? And who are these people?"

Bai Ye stood up, the long sword in his hand had disappeared at some point, and he looked at the stranger next to Ni Yan with some confusion.

There's the Sarkaz, and there's the Erafia.

However, they were all unfamiliar, and Bai Ye was certain that these were not the mercenaries that Mudrock had been working for.

Talulah handed over leadership of the Sarkaz mercenaries to White Night, while the mercenary leader W took direct orders from him.

Those Sarkaz who were unwilling to continue fighting withdrew from the mercenary ranks and lived peacefully in the core city.

Mudrock refers to former mercenaries who have left the combat ranks. Others who left include Big Bob and Big Adam.

Mudrock lowered his head, somewhat ashamed, and said, "After leaving Kazdel, I always wanted to come back and see it, and then I encountered these infected..."

In short, is Niyan back to visit relatives? No, she probably doesn't have any relatives here; she just came back to take a look.

Then, after discovering the Sarkaz infected here, she decided to bring them back to the core city.

These infected individuals also wanted her to take them to the Letanian border, to those Elafia infected who had been exchanging goods with them.

"At first, everything went smoothly, but when we received the infected person and were preparing to return, we encountered... the enemy."

Mudstone recounted.

The infected person standing nearby had eyes filled with fear.

All we know is that they are warlocks, and even with the eyes of a friend, we cannot find them in the mist.

"But the fireballs, hail, and storms never stopped; they were always around us..."

From the descriptions of these surviving infected, Bai Ye learned that a group of sorcerers were hunting them down—or rather, hunting them for amusement.

As for the friend that Mudrock mentioned, it was a stone figure she created using Originium Arts. She liked to call these creations friends.

After listening to the infected people's accounts, Bai Ye nodded: "It's alright now, come with me."

“Be careful. Judging by the timing, they should be launching their attack soon… These guys never kill us all at once; they kill us slowly, one at a time, deliberately toying with us…”

The arrival of the White Nights did not seem to bring these infected individuals a sense of security.

"Mudrock, stop using magic, your body can't take it." Bai Ye stood up and said without turning his head.

Mudstone nodded, dispelled the spell, and the stone golem in Team Five collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Just then, an infected person suddenly screamed and groaned in pain. Originium crystals pierced his skin and sprouted from his palm like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

"whispering sound."

Bai Ye clicked his tongue, and a sharp blade appeared in his hand. With a flash of sword light, a severed hand, along with a black Originium spike, was cut off and sent flying.

What's truly horrifying is that the unfortunate infected man's right hand was as smooth as a mirror, without even a drop of blood flowing out.

Someone immediately came forward to bandage his wound.

"This kind of spell... these sorcerers can actually cast spells directly using the Originium inside the infected's body! Ah—" The unfortunate infected was terrified, as he could feel the Originium inside his body vibrating uncontrollably.

"Tsk."

Bai Ye was somewhat dissatisfied.

After he arrived, someone was even injured.

Seemingly sensing the will of the White Night, the surrounding atmosphere began to become restless and agitated.

A violent airflow surrounded Team Five of the infected.

I don't know when, but the surrounding fog had already dissipated.

The figures of the sorcerers around them were revealed; without the cover of the mist, they could no longer hide themselves.

These warlocks wore tall hats, and beside them were infected slaves. These people were their staffs.

This is forbidden Originium Arts, an ancient form of witchcraft. Even Bai Ye had never heard of it before. It's astonishing that someone could directly control the living Originium within an infected person to cast spells.

but.

"Trying to deceive me is simply courting death."

Bai Ye held the sharp tip of his sword in his right hand towards the ground, while raising his left hand.

All the sorcerers were lifted up, and they kept pounding their necks, their tongues lolling out, their eyes bulging, as if an invisible force had gripped their necks.
