I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

So he quickly walked up and grabbed two handfuls of air, adding a first-tier Blade Effect and a second-tier Casting Effect to the dark green tabletop.

The dark green desktop doesn't have a time-stop preservation effect, or perhaps its inherent nature means it can't last long. The two casting effects I collected last time have already disappeared.

Talulah smiled again when she saw Li Lin approaching—of course, she subconsciously distanced herself from Nian.

Talulah, who had been separated from her for a long time, wanted to catch up and have some tender moments, but unexpectedly, Li Lin looked up and glanced behind her: "Where's the cockroach girl?"

“Cockroaches… Ugh.” Talulah’s face showed disgust upon hearing this. She hadn’t expected Li Lin’s strangeness to have only increased. But out of consideration for their past relationship, she still complied and said, “If you want to keep them, there are plenty in the wasteland.”

Li Lin was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Really?"

“Let’s not talk about that for now…” Talulah, feeling a little nauseous, began to change the subject. “So, could our two organizations merge?”

The dragon girl's eyes were full of sincerity: "I can understand the effort you put into escaping from the baron's clutches and coming here to organize the miners, and so have I. My ideas and program were directly given to me by you, and you also made great contributions to the formation of the Reunion Movement."

"Whether it's the Integration Movement or the Mutual Aid Association, they are actually your children."

"Please trust me, mentor."

Li Lin was stunned for a moment.

The dark green tabletop silently rose before her, and a new card suddenly appeared below the year. The blank back of the card had marks that looked like they had been cut by a blade, and these marks formed Talulah's abstract face.

【Fighter Talulah】

[Sexual Aspect: Blade]

[Current Stage: First Imprint]

Flames rise from the desolate land, and the resolute warrior grips her longsword. Talulah always goes where the flames burn the brightest; her skills are full of power.

The system indicated that this card belonged to a follower of Li Lin.

Talulah differed from other believers in many ways, not only in her title but also in that she possessed the "First Mark".

At the same time, a countdown icon with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside appeared in the upper right corner of the system desktop, symbolizing that the image card of the Mutual Aid Society had been absorbed into it.

Li Lin raised his eyes and looked directly at Talulah, who calmly met his gaze.

"I agreed."

He flicked his finger, and the Talulah Follower Card on the table silently floated up and fell into the countdown icon.

The countdown, which had been spinning slowly, suddenly began to spin rapidly, reaching its end in the blink of an eye, after which the icon cracked and burst into white light.

[Fighter Talulah] returned to her original position, while the Order Card, which originally belonged to the Mutual Aid Society, was stained with bright red and dark colors, and the icon of the Reunion Movement was now prominently displayed on it.

[The Order of the Integrative Movement]!

The moment the Mutual Aid Association and the Reunion Movement merged into one, both the miners inside the walls and the Reunion Movement soldiers stationed outside felt a warmth from the bottom of their hearts. The hostility that had been subtly present in the air suddenly vanished, and the tense atmosphere disappeared without a trace.

It's unclear who was the first to put down their gun.

The regicide relaxed inexplicably and sheathed his blade back into the scabbard on his back.

On the Reunification Movement's position, Patriot looked at his palm with some surprise; for a moment just now, he had almost voluntarily lowered his weapon.

W frowned; she seemed to have just experienced some vague hallucinations...?

Talulah pursed her lips and her eyes shone.

Year cast a surprised glance from not far away: she sensed that the number of people she believed in had suddenly increased several times over.

Li Lin combined the Gongzhu Association with the Integration Movement, seemingly prioritizing the Integration Movement, but the Gongzhu Association's ideals and beliefs also entered the Integration Movement.

Year became the object of the Reunion Movement's beliefs, and Li Lin, as the mentor of the Reunion Movement's leaders, indirectly controlled the organization.

Talulah and Lyudmila exchanged a smile, then climbed the wall and waved to the Reunion Movement soldiers: "We're comrades now!"

Not far away, Nian reached out and pulled Li Lin along.

"You idiot, what's going on?"

Li Lin's face showed no smile; instead, he raised a finger to his lips, signaling Nian to be quiet.

25 The Path of the King

Nian stared blankly at him. At this moment, Li Lin's eyes were as deep as an abyss. He raised a finger to his lips, but Talulah's image was reflected in his pupils.

He was like a lighthouse illuminating the dark night, his eyes bright and clear as transparent glass.

"You already knew?"

Miss Nian lowered her voice, "You know what's hidden inside her body. You've known everything all along, whether it's about my identity or Koschche's identity, haven't you?"

Seeing that Li Lin did not deny it, Nian's expression became slightly serious: "So you are taking advantage of everyone, whether it is this cult, or the upcoming Reunion Movement, or even including me and that viper in your scheme. What do you want to do? Destroy this city, or change the world?"

Seeing that Li Lin remained silent, Nian took a deep breath.

Before she could speak, Li Lin lowered his finger and said, "Look..."

Miss Nian turned her head and heard Li Lin mutter as if he were seeing a god, "Little Dragon Girl's butt is really perky..."

Li Lin never disappoints when it comes to being disappointing.

An hour later, the rest of the Reunion Movement soldiers arrived. To avoid suspicion, some soldiers set up camp in the mine, while all the Reunion Movement cadres moved into the original headquarters of the Mutual Aid Association.

The longhouse, originally intended as an auditorium, was temporarily requisitioned. The fireplace was burning brightly with dry wood, casting a warm, orange glow on the walls.

Li Lin forced himself to sit in the armchair, half-asleep, his dead fish eyes staring listlessly at the ceiling.

Talulah enthusiastically introduced Li Lin to the leaders of the Reunion Movement: "My mentor, a true sage, the creator of the soul of the Reunion Movement."

“He doesn’t seem to have any brains,” Mephistopheles whispered to his companion at the end of the long table.

His companions remained silent with their heads down, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Mephistopheles' assessment.

W seemed somewhat displeased. As the true form of the cockroach girl mentioned by Li Lin, she was eager to humanely destroy Li Lin ahead of time, but unfortunately, Talulah acted faster than her.

Ines developed a deep sense of apprehension and fear towards Li Lin. When she saw Li Lin, she even wanted to run away immediately, but Hedley stopped her.

At the long table, Li Lin's position was second only to Talulah, and even higher than that of Patriot Bojokaste, a pillar of the Reunion Movement.

Patriot himself had no objection to this.

Of course, Bo Zhuokasti's silence does not mean that Li Lin will remain silent.

As long as Li Lin didn't do anything reckless, he felt like there was something crawling all over him. When no one was paying attention, he poked Patriot's armor.

"What is it, the leader's mentor?"

Bozokasti's voice rang out like a grand bell. He turned his head, and his alien helmet and jagged horns, accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound, left a hideous mark on the ceiling.

Ignoring the stares from the crowd, Li Lin, mimicking Patriot's deep voice, asked, "Do you know what the white coffin in Chernobog is?"

This is surprisingly normal.

Patriot leaned down slightly: "The white coffin you mentioned, I've never heard of it before."

The conversation between the mentor and the patriot drew everyone's attention, even Talulah stopped to listen to Li Lin speak.

Only the regicide sighed softly, guessing that Li Lin was about to have another episode.

Sure enough, a few seconds later Li Lin said in a deep voice, "I won't tell you!"

My eye twitched.

The scene immediately descended into chaos, with many cadres already preparing to grab knives, while Li Lin huddled in his armchair, chuckling strangely.

Fortunately, the Patriots stood up immediately and suppressed the group of restless rioters.

Talulah spoke gently to Li Lin, and knowing that Li Lin could only be appeased, the dragon girl quickly calmed and stabilized the patient's emotions.

Taking this opportunity, Talulah immediately asked Li Lin what he wanted to say.

“It’s nothing much,” Li Lin said, secretly wiping his snot under the table. “It’s nothing more than things like gene restoration pods or home physiological repair devices. There’s still someone buried in the white coffin in Chernobog. If we let him out, destroying the Reunion Movement will be a piece of cake.”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" W slammed her hand on the table and stood up, thinking she had found an opportunity. She pointed at Li Lin with a mocking expression, "What is your purpose in saying these things? Who instructed you to say these things?"

"The evil spirits of the Tower of Babel."

Li Lin's words left W speechless.

At some point, Li Lin, whose pupils were mostly black, placed his hands on the table with his fingers interlaced, and stared calmly at W.

"What if I said the person dormant in the white coffin is the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, Doctor?"

W subconsciously swallowed, her throat bobbing, showing just how terrified the name was.

Li Lin turned his head and looked around at the Integration Movement cadres who had quieted down at some point. Everyone whose gaze swept over them unconsciously lowered their heads, as if their minds were being opened.

After circling around once, the whites of Li Lin's eyes began to expand, showing a tendency to revert to dead fish eyes.

Knowing he was about to have a relapse, Li Lin quickly spoke up: "So our goal is to find the doctor before anyone else, that's our path to victory!"

After saying this, Li Lin fell silent.

The usually arrogant W surprisingly became the first to agree to dig for the PhD.

Thus, Reunion's first mission in Chernobog was to find the Doctor, the leader of Rhodes Island's command center, before Rhodes Island could. This task was naturally assigned to the only two people who knew the Doctor, Li Lin and W.

This unique meeting ended abruptly, and in the next hour, Li Lin and W devised a detailed, meticulous, and foolproof plan.

Code name: The Path of the King.

"First of all, our purpose in entering Chernobog this time is not to cause destruction!"
