Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 181 - 181 63 The Curtain Falls_2

181: Chapter 63: The Curtain Falls_2 181: Chapter 63: The Curtain Falls_2 Zhongwu sighed, “You see, the Ming Guest is selfish and merciless, but he’s still holding on to a glimmer of hope, giving others some room to maneuver.

If one were to become a monster with a human face but a beast’s heart like the Red Mage, then it would truly be a Dragon Disaster for this world.”

The Dragon Disaster was terrible, but the Impermanence Law Enforcers who slayed the dragons were also hard to classify as kind.

To ordinary people, the capriciousness of a powerful individual was hardly distinguishable from that of a giant dragon.

Li Jun hesitated for a long while before mustering the courage to say, “Director, I think you’re very normal…”

“That’s why I’m not as powerful as they are,” Zhongwu answered indifferently, “That’s why His Majesty trusts me.”

Little Li’s expression turned serious.

The chubby director laughed and said, “Why do you think you’ve been so valued?

It’s the same reasoning.

After this fight is over, you’ll need to think more…

In a while, it will be time for someone else to take over our work at Yiji Hall in the Sky Capital.”

Li Jun was somewhat surprised, “Director, has the transfer order been issued?”

“Not yet, but judging by the time, it should be soon.”

“That’s good news, isn’t it, Director!” Li Jun spoke as if he were an ambitious deputy, but from deep within, he was sincerely happy for his leader, “By that time, we must throw you a farewell party.”

“What are you talking about!

No making a big fuss.”

After scolding with a smile, Zhongwu continued, “You don’t have to keep all that frustration bottled up.

After the Ming Guest has made his mess, naturally, someone will deal with him.

In this world, nothing comes without a price.”

—

Thorn District, Marin Benbu Park.

The uncle who was the park’s caretaker wore a blue outfit and patrolled the park with a small device.

He had opened the backdoor to the dragon’s belly for those two people two weeks ago and had been scared for a long while thereafter.

Fortunately, since the incident hadn’t been brought up after so much time, it meant he had made the right decision.

The city had been much safer these years, and it had been a long time since he encountered anything similar.

That was until this afternoon when the Center District blazed with fire, and the caretaker found a sense of duty from when he first started working.

He cheerfully discussed it with the old men and women strolling in the park: There’s a fight again, do you think it’ll spread over here?

Oh dear, I’d better get back to the safety shelter soon.

Young people really have the stamina, they’ve been fighting for so many years and still aren’t tired of it.

My granddaughter went to school this afternoon; she’ll probably be late due to the traffic jam…

The middle-aged and elderly people were calmer than each other, having lived here for so many years, they were past the phase of fear and panic.

If no emergency evacuation notice was issued, then just continue chatting.

When the evening came and indeed nothing had happened, everyone dispersed.

“It’s good that there’s no trouble,” sighed the park caretaker, planning to sit down on a chair to rest.

His gaze swept over a bench and he was taken aback, not too intensely but still startled.

Sitting on the bench was a man with long hair wearing green clothing.

His chest bore two fierce knife wounds, one long and one short crossing each other.

Blood flowed from the wounds, soaking his clothes and making him look like a swordsman who had crossed over from a duel hundreds of years ago or a horror ghoul possessing a corpse.

The caretaker was shocked, thinking if the organized brawl hadn’t finished and had made its way here.

He quickly reached for the heavy-duty tactical pistol at his waist, activated the unified issue force field protective device, and sent a signal to the bioengineered Cerberus on standby in the break room.

After completing the preparatory steps, he summoned the courage to say, “What are you doing, buddy?!

If you’re sick, go to the hospital, if you want to talk, let’s talk nicely, okay?

We try not to fight in this public area.

The policy has changed now, we have to stop small mechanical fights upon seeing them, you understand, don’t you?”

Ha-chi, ha-chi!

The obedient dog with three heads ran over and sat behind the caretaker.

The long-haired man found it amusing.

“I’m not fighting now,” the Ming Guest shook his head, “I just finished fighting with an old friend, I need to rest a bit.”

The keeper quietly let out a sigh of relief, it seemed the fight was over.

The long-haired man bent down to play with the little dog.

The bio-engineered Cerberus made adorable noises.

“Does it bite?”

“Hey, usually no, it’s very well-behaved.

Ah Huang, roll over!”

The Cerberus obediently began to roll.

“Ha ha!”

The Ming Guest laughed like a child, completely disregarding the slash wounds on his body.

—

All the noise had subsided.

The night grew even more tranquil, and the weary people went to rest.

The Giant Dragon City high in the sky had ended its slightly turbulent day and was preparing to welcome another vigorous day.

The events that had entangled many thus came to an end…

…

…

Ended?

—

Deep into the night, in the Abinos Mountains.

A dark line stretched out from deep within Crystal Mountain, converging under a child who was climbing on the mountainside.

He had cursed, pleaded, cried out, but now, everything had become silent.

Someone’s body curled up in Crystal Mountain’s valley, barely showing any signs of life.

A deep sigh came from within a cloth bag.

“Is it sorrow, hatred, grief, or resentment?”

“Once you’ve entered a vicious place, there’s no escape.

This woeful state, you’ve brought upon yourself!”

The person couldn’t speak, he only wondered why.

How he could be so fragile.

How he could have been driven to such lengths.

It made no sense, this should not be happening.

Even with three attacking together, he shouldn’t have ended up so wretched.

Because he was, he was…

“Do not be alarmed, do not be surprised!”

“Deduct seven parts of memory, take away six parts of magic, strip away five parts of intelligence, but leave the arrogance whole.”

“Once the hidden lord of the law, now a pitiful wreck, you’re nothing but a clown jumping on the beam!”

—

The brain, ravaged by the curse, in an instant, forgot the agony.

Intelligence, magic, memory…

……?

Was all he lost merely memory?

Was all he forgot just a part of himself?

Then, then…

the meaning behind the words, the implication of his words was—

“…

You schemed against me?”

“Formless, did you scheme against me?!

You schemed against me—!!!”
