Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 325: Chapter 154 The Bridegroom Procession

In the new group chat, Heavy Knight sent over an address.

It was located in a newly-built block in the East City New District.

In the Disaster Fog, that area had suffered significant damage, with over sixty percent of the buildings impaired.

But the construction capabilities of No.3 Border City were strong, and with the use of certain Taboo Items, the area had been repaired in less than a month.

High-rise buildings were restored, looking brand new.

Now, many residents of Giant City had already moved back in. Heavy Knight was one of them, residing in that same district.

Recently, there seemed to be some strange rumors circulating there, and Heavy Knight had inadvertently come across them.

As a Spiritual Ability User, she first suspected the influence of Extraordinary Powers and wanted to gather a few friends to check it out.

If it turned out to be a supernatural event, they would have to get the officials to officially take over.

In the group chat, Detective and Starfire, among others, also appeared, asking Heavy Knight about the situation.

There were six people in the group in total: Cheese, Night General, Starfire, Heavy Knight, Detective, Shadow Stream.

Except for Cheese, who had already left Giant City, the others responded to Heavy Knight.

After all, with Heavy Knight’s introverted personality, it was rare for her to ask for help.

And since it wasn’t a particularly difficult task, except for Starfire who had a mission to perform, the rest agreed to the investigation request.

”Does this kind of investigation really need Night General?” asked Starfire, who couldn’t help but joke in the chat.

After all, investigation missions were usually just rumors or legends, with all sorts of bizarre reasons.

For Li Yelai, an Awakened Spirit User and also Night General, to investigate such rumors was somewhat overkill.

”You don’t understand the weight behind ’Night·Monster Brushing Cage·Will’,” retorted Detective confidently in Li Yelai’s bad luck. After all, every time Li Yelai took action with him, something would happen.

From the first evil ceremonies that bred Void Realm Creatures to the Ghost Immortal Altar at Wang De’s house, to the Dream Butterfly Tree Trunk at Jing Family’s Mansion, and most recently the Dragon-Devouring Vine.

He had become somewhat numb to it all.

However, this also had its advantages, as it allowed for the early elimination of possible risks.

Therefore, the officials were not opposed to Li Yelai taking on private jobs or investigation missions.

”Laughable, every time there’s trouble, you’re there, what right do you have to talk about me?” Li Yelai retorted and asked, ”Where are you? Can you give me a lift?”

”Sure. I’ll wait for you at Exit No. 2 of the division. Authorize me, and I’ll bring your equipment over,” Detective replied, ”Although investigation missions often yield nothing, with you there, I suspect a fight might break out.”

”I should say the same when you’re around...” responded Li Yelai, as he authorized his equipment on the Communicator.

The equipment of a Spiritual Ability User includes armor or heavy artillery, and even large items.

For example, the weapon of Team Five Captain Cang Bai was a coffin, which actually housed some sort of mysterious and abnormal flesh; once opened, it could extend flesh creations to enhance Cang Bai’s Spiritual Eye Ability.

Or like the Logistics Team Captain Epidemic Doctor, whose weapon was thirteen high-grade Extraordinary Battle Armors equipped with Spiritual Ability Equipment. As a Divine Protection Path user, he could control these armors simultaneously, meaning an enemy would have to face off against thirteen strong and able Spiritual Ability User Knights!

But naturally, these pieces of equipment could not be carried around at all times.

Thus, most Processors stored their personal equipment with the logistics team.

Whenever there was a mission or a need for deployment, the logistics would deliver the equipment to them as quickly as possible.

Li Yelai’s Ming Guang Armor was also stored with the logistics team.

Afterward, Li Yelai sent the address to Jing Lin and appeared at Exit No. 2 of the division, carrying the Big Black Umbrella.

Dressed in a black trench coat and carrying the Big Black Umbrella, he gave off an inexplicably bizarre yet serious vibe.

Which caused some passing Processors to take notice.

Li Yelai often had contact with various teams’ Night Generals due to the curse.

But in reality, within Giant City, it was rare to see a Night General.

Even within the Processing Department, colleagues seldom saw the Night Generals.

Like Starfire, he had only seen the Night General in the Disaster Fog and had no contact at any other time.

To become a Night General meant that one had awakened four times, and their combat power was considerable; thus, they could be considered elite!

So, when Li Yelai appeared wearing the Night General’s coat, it surprised the passing Processors.

Some new Processors had looks of admiration, while the more experienced ones had respect in their eyes.

This gave Li Yelai some food for thought.

”Night General, do you need help?” An unfamiliar Processor approached to ask, ”If you need support, our team can help anytime.”

”Thank you, but no need, I’m waiting for someone,” Li Yelai responded, ”Please don’t mind me.”

”Alright, good luck then,” said the Processor before he nodded and went on his way.

Before long, Detective arrived, driving a silver SUV that he parked by the roadside, saying, ”You’re wearing the Night General’s coat, others thought there was some major operation. The Night General’s coat may look plain, but actually, any Spiritual Ability User who understands its significance takes it very seriously.”

”I know,” said Li Yelai after getting into the car, ”But the Night General must wear the coat. It represents the arrival of human power, and any human that sees this coat can ask for help from it. All enemies that see this coat also know that their opponent has arrived!”
