Absolute Gate

Chapter 26 Debiao
"Soil...soil..."

Yang Chunsha's feet were not touching the ground, his face was purplish-red, and he was in a panic.

Her heart shone brightly, and she flipped through the pages of the leather-bound book at lightning speed.

But Wujinxia calmly snatched the book away with her other hand.

"..." Yang Chunsha was in despair, struggling desperately with pleading eyes.

Wu Zhong ran over: "Brother Xia, please don't..."

Endless Summer threw her to the ground: "Just clear the way and don't try anything funny."

Yang Chunsha collapsed to the ground, coughing, tears welling in her eyes: "I know your secret. You won't let me go. I understand."

"After I clear the way and send you out, that will be my death day."

Endless Summer said indifferently, "You don't know anything."

Seeing this, Wu Zhong said, "Don't overthink it. Brother Xia isn't that kind of person."

Yang Chunsha pursed her lips: "What kind of person is he? There are people who would destroy a country for a single strange object."

"The fact that Endless Summer can teleport is priceless."

"And once people become wary of this tactic, the danger he faces when undertaking missions will increase dramatically."

"People from the Otherworld aren't afraid of being weak; they're afraid of being targeted!"

She made a lot of sense, and Wu was well aware of the consequences of being targeted.

Take Endless Summer for example. If 985 knew he could teleport, would he still be so calm?
They will definitely make targeted arrangements, or they'll just take him out instantly when they see him.

The reason why Endless Summer was so bold as to directly break into 985's base while other forces were still observing was because he was taking advantage of the fact that others did not know he could teleport.

"If you don't clear the way, this is your death day," Wujinxia said calmly.

Yang Chunsha said excitedly, "Then we'll die here together! Without me clearing the way, you can teleport away, but he'll have to die here."

Wu Zhong frowned: "Alright, stop saying things like that. It's not helpful at all, it will only escalate the conflict."

"Actually, Brother Xia doesn't want to kill you. If you say something practical that can ensure you won't leak this, it'll be more useful than this nonsense."

Yang Chunsha opened her mouth: "I... my older brother is the Gem Mercenary 'Six Paths Wood'."

"..." Wujinxia's hand trembled, her face full of shock.

Wu Zhong had never seen him so serious and solemn before; this 'Six Paths Wood' was clearly an extraordinary existence.

Seeing that her words had worked, Yang Chunsha quickly said, "This tunnel actually belongs to him. Tunnels like this exist all over the world. I'm just an employee."

Endless Summer raised an eyebrow: "Who else is in your group?"

Yang Chunsha stood up proudly and said, "There's also the Platinum Mercenary 'Angelica,' and the Gold Mercenaries 'Underground Orchid,' 'Rafflesia,' and 'Spruce Tree'..."

"Although I am just a nobody, if you kill me, they will not let you go, because they know that I died while on a mission to meet you."

Endless Summer was initially quite serious, but upon hearing the name of the spruce tree, she immediately smiled.

"That's ridiculous. You even know what a spruce tree is?"

Yang Chunsha, unsure of where she had slipped up, raised her head and said, "What's wrong? I'm just not familiar with him, but I know Dixia Lan, and he and Dixia Lan are brothers..."

Endless Summer took a banana out of her pocket and put it to her mouth: "Spruce, spruce, I am Endless Summer."

Yang Chunsha's pupils contracted.

"Oh, it's nothing. A woman said you and 'Underground Orchid' are buddies."

"Ha, stop yelling, stop yelling, you're giving me a headache."

"This woman's code name is Yang Chunsha, a bronze-level one, do you recognize her? She said you're protecting her."

Endless Summer was talking to herself while looking at the banana, which left Wu Zhong completely confused: What is she doing?
However, Yang Chunsha was sweating profusely and her lips turned white.

"You tell her yourself." Endless Summer tossed the banana to Yang Chunsha.

Yang Chunsha threw it away directly: "No need, no need..."

Endless Summer sneered: "Do you know that the spruce tree and the underground orchid are mortal enemies? The underground orchid stole the twenty drops of 'Fountain of Youth' that he had worked so hard to obtain, plus thirty kilograms of 'Crimson Wood'."

With a flick of her wrist, Yang Chunsha became a tremendous treasure for her.

"No way? They're still..."

Endless Summer interrupted, "Are you saying they're acting like brothers on the forum?"

"That happened last year. Dilan got close to him just to deceive him and steal his things."

"It's not a secret. On the platform, anyone above Silver rank knows about it."

"You didn't just hear all your information about high-ranking mercenaries from the forums, did you?"

Yang Chunsha's eyelashes trembled, and she fell silent.

Wu Zhongdu was amused. This woman had finally come up with something to intimidate Wu Jinxia, ​​but she gave herself away as soon as she opened her mouth.

People in the supernatural world can make up stories as soon as they open their mouths, but they have to have real substance to back them up.

Clearly, given this woman's level of sophistication, it would be extremely difficult for her to fabricate a story of gold or higher rank.

The information cocoon is too large, especially in the world of calamities, where it is even more serious.

Misunderstandings are everywhere.

Wu Jinxia looked down at the other party: "Even if you didn't give yourself away, I still don't believe you are one of Liudaomu's people."

"Do you know who he is? He's also known as Liu Shen!"

"Gem Mercenary is just his least important identity. He has never even done a single platform mission. He was directly at the Gem level after registering and has never been on the platform since."

This was beyond Yang Chunsha's comprehension. She exclaimed incredulously, "How is it possible to become a gem right after registration?"

Wu Jinxia chuckled, “Why is it impossible? The entire Free Mercenary Club is just a subordinate organization of his organization. Liu Daomu is one of the founders of the Free Alliance, and the Multiverse Academy was defeated by him.”

"What?" Yang Chunsha was stunned; she had no idea about this.

In her understanding, the organizations in the world of disasters mainly consist of the containment forces of the five major nations, plus the Freedom Alliance.

The Free Alliance consists of the Mercenary Club and the Diverse Academy.

It is the largest force outside of the official containment forces, without exception, and even larger in terms of numbers than all the official forces combined! This is because even members of the five major powers' official organizations register a mercenary account to keep track of the movements in the alien world.

It can be said that 99% of the people in the Disaster Realm register for a mercenary identity for various reasons.

There's even a saying that the mercenary circle is equivalent to the Disaster Realm. She assumed it was a platform jointly created by various forces in the Disaster Realm, and had never heard of any organization above the club.

"Is this the Multiverse Academy that Liudaomu defeated?" Wu Zhong asked in surprise.

He had heard Endless Summer mention that someone had defeated the Multiverse Academy, which is why the latter changed its name to what it is now.

Wu Jinxia nodded solemnly: "Yes, and also remember, don't mention this name in front of the mirror in the future, or he will know."

"Holy crap..." Wu Zhong was shocked.

This is the real big shot of the Disaster Realm. Yang Chunsha is really something, she started by making fun of this person right away, no wonder she was immediately intimidated by Wujinxia.

Wujinxia was probably also confused, wondering if she had encountered the hidden forces of the Six Paths Tree.

This name is probably more intimidating to the stronger the person.

Wu Zhong looked at Yang Chunsha: "Seriously, stop talking nonsense and just behave yourself."

Yang Chunsha said with a bitter laugh, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know anything, I have no connections, all I know is digging. I finally got a big job, and then this happened to me."

"Knowing the secret of Endless Summer, he will definitely kill me. What do you know, you amateur?"

Endless Summer asked, "You have nothing, so how did you become an Awakened One?"

Yang Chunsha choked up and said, "I don't know. I have amnesia. I don't remember anything before I was twenty years old."

“I woke up on the shore of Poyang Lake with no clothes on. The local police couldn’t find my identity. I only remember that my name is ‘De Biao’.”

Wu was stunned. Her name was really Debiao?
How could a girl have such a name?
"You must have amnesia and have confused your memories."

Yang Chunsha shook her head: "I don't know, but in my memory, the only name that comes to mind is 'De Biao'."

Endless Summer looked suspicious: "That's ridiculous. Now you're trying to portray yourself as an amnesiac master, or a 'humanoid calamity' that fell from the sky?"

Yang Chunsha said bitterly, "I know you don't believe me, but it's true."

“The local authorities reissued my ID card, and I thought that was the end of it. Even though I often dreamed of a... well, a magician, I didn’t think much of it and lived like that for three years.”

"Then one day when I went to a popular restaurant that was supposedly super delicious, I tasted a peculiar bitterness."

"My mouth was so bitter it was numb. I asked the waiter to change it, but he said it was fine. I even asked other people to judge, but they all said it didn't taste bitter."

"Then that night, I had a strange dream about the mercenary club...you know what I mean."

Wu was taken aback; he had dreamt of a mercenary club?
Endless Summer nodded: "It's the standard process for a lone cultivator to enter the circle. The food contains the blood of a body refiner, which contains a trace of multi-dimensional power."

"And for the multi-faceted enlightened beings, each level enhances a way of perceiving the power of multiple dimensions."

"Level one is taste, level two is smell, level three is touch, level four is hearing... Ordinary people cannot feel the power of multiple senses, only those who are enlightened can. So after you taste it, even if it is only level one, you will be particularly sensitive to this taste."

Wu Zhong asked in surprise, "What about dreams?"

Endless Summer sneered: "That's a unique tactic of the mercenary club. Their platform headquarters is built in a dream world, and it's only possible to get there by dreaming."

"They first cast a wide net through restaurants all over the place to test out hidden enlightened beings. After this woman tasted the bitterness, she asked the waiter to change it, which naturally attracted the attention of the relevant personnel. They confirmed that she was an enlightened being in the wild, and at night they guided her into that place in her dream."

"Once you register as a mercenary, you can dream about it while you sleep; you won't need any more guidance."

Wu Zhong suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. That's amazing."

"But isn't it too troublesome to take a nap every time I browse the platform?"

Endless Summer shook her head: "That's just one of the stations, a place to make it convenient for everyone to meet in person. After all, many people never show up or have any contact with each other in real life."

"The club also has a website, even a portal website, in reality. The downside is that real-world things are easily damaged. If they are maliciously attacked, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"So most of the time people use the real-world viewing platform, and only during special periods, or in spaces without signal, will they use the 'Dream Network'."

Wu suddenly realized the solution and decided to take a two-pronged approach.

They usually build platforms in the real world, but in critical moments, the dream world comes to their rescue.

No wonder they can grow so big and strong. This kind of platform is not something that ordinary organizations can build. It requires various suitable disaster and anomaly characteristics as architectural support to stand firm.

“I’m telling the truth. Ever since I learned about the Disaster Realm, I’ve suspected that I might have been manipulated by some kind of ‘Exusiai’…”

"Then, not wanting to take responsibility, he erased my memories and abandoned me by the lake."

"As for the police not being able to find my identity, it's possible that I remembered the name wrong, De Biao... maybe it's the name that man used when he was in front of me."

"You have to believe me, I'm really harmless. If you're worried, then... then take me with you. I'm willing to follow you, anyway, I don't have any attachments."

Yang Chunsha revealed the things she least wanted to say, hoping only to survive.

Believe it or not, she found a solution.

That means showing that you are harmless, and then... hanging out with Brother Xia.

Wu Zhong couldn't help but speak up: "I think it's a good idea... She's at least more capable than me, so why don't we let her join Brother Xia's organization too?"

Endless Summer said, "I have no organization; I am just a freelance mercenary."

Wu Zhong was stunned and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to take me to a church?"

Endless Summer glared at him: "The church? What church? I never said that."

"Huh?" Wu Zhong froze.

Then it dawned on me: Could it be that this church is very strict, and we can't even mention it to outsiders?
Xia Ge only mentioned it because he trusted him, so how could I just say it casually here?

So Wu Zhong immediately said, "Oh, I misremembered. What I meant was, since you don't trust her, why don't you keep her with you?"

Wu Jinxia sneered: "If she wanted to escape, why would she have been on guard for a thousand days?"

"No, no, I'm so weak, how could I dare? As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to join any organization, no matter what it is," Yang Chunsha hurriedly declared her loyalty.

Actually, she had always wanted to find a backer, so she clung to high-ranking mercenaries like Endless Summer along the way.

Now that we know his secret, the only way to survive is to be taken away by him.

Wu Jinxia remained noncommittal, coldly saying, "Clear the way, and stop wasting words."

"The Night Wanderer is still nearby, and I don't want to take another shower."
