Chapter 151: Chapter 151- Heavenly, Palace
“Zhao Zili, wait!”
As soon as the beautiful young girl finished her sentence, she was shot by the Gatling gun.
“Here’s a gift for our first meeting, you are welcome,” Zhao Zili said very calmly.
However, he did not stop moving but continued to walk forward. As he advanced, he shot the Unlimited Gatling Gun of Profound Compa.s.sion towards the cars parked along the street. No one backed away, and instead, they crowded nearer to him.
It appeared that news of Zhao Zili had spread and those who lived in the neighborhood, as well as the store owners nearby, all came looking for Zhao Zili. With the endless shots resonating from the Gatling gun like a woodp.e.c.k.e.r pecking wood, it was very easy to spot Zhao Zili as he healed the world.
After being shot in the face by Zhao Zili, the beautiful young girl clad in the black vest was stunned and immediately took out her mobile phone to look at herself.
“I just dyed my hair yesterday!” she exclaimed.
She stomped and turned around to chase after Zhao Zili. He had run onto the sidewalk beside the road but was not jumping around while shooting as there were only shops but no buildings in the vicinity.
However, there was quite a crowd on the sidewalk, and there were even more people walking towards him from the distance. The cars on the road stopped against the rules to receive the shots from Zhao Zili and all four lanes were jam-packed with cars. The sidewalk on the opposite side was also full of people and it would not be exaggerating to say that the entire town had come out onto the main street.
The beautiful young girl clad in the black vest decided to stop at her position temporarily, waiting for the huge crowd to slow Zhao Zili down. After all, based on preliminary investigations from 20 minutes ago, the Countermeasure Division was certain that Zhao Zili was not aggressive at all.
However, since it was hard to navigate through the crowd, Zhao Zili would simply not walk on the street then.
Zhao Zili leaped upwards onto the wall with the Gatling gun in his hand, then continued running as he sung praises of the deities:
You will be granted a heart of burning pa.s.sion, a mind of peace and joy, and a life without troubles and difficulties…”
“In the name of the Master of the Holy Light, the Heart of the Everlasting Warmth, and the Ruler of the Wind, Rain, and Snow…”
Upon seeing what he did, the beautiful young girl clad in the black vest was left with no choice; she conveyed a message through the walkie-talkie, took a deep breath as she tied her hair into a ponytail for more convenient movement, then started hovering slightly above the ground.
A loud clap sounded as she forcefully propelled herself off the ground and leaped onto the wall like Zhao Zili had done, and she began advancing towards him!
Ren Suo was extremely surprised. Zhao Zili had been able to leap onto the wall very easily as the “Superhuman s.h.i.+eld” boosted all of his physical capabilities by leaps and bounds, but Newton’s laws were still in effect and Zhao Zili was still affected by gravity at any moment.
The reason why Zhao Zili was able to climb the wall was because his shoes were embedded slightly into the wall with each step to provide sufficient friction for him to continue moving.
But how could someone be following behind him!
“Only I can ride on the wall, who exactly are you!” Zhao Zili shouted.
Ren Suo stopped Zhao Zili from firing and ran onto a roof, pretending to know nothing about the beautiful young girl clad in the black vest. Zhao Zili was not supposed to know anything about the Countermeasure Division as he did not have any contacts with any of the personnel when he was still alive.
However, when he was talking about anything other than praises of the deities, Zhao Zili was unable to continue shooting with the Gatling gun. There was a hidden condition in [Repaying Kindness]: when spreading the grace of the G.o.ds, Zhao Zili was required to sing praises like he had been doing previously, to show that he was just a proxy for the deities who were his leaders, and so that the mortals would remember the great deeds of his leaders although they were not present…
Who knew what the three deities had experienced in the past such that they had set extremely clear conditions and restrictions in terms of the “Belief” they received. They must have had been cheated in the past and learned from their prior experience.
Nonetheless, it had been 26 minutes since Zhao Zili arrived and began shooting around. It was almost time…
“I am Si Hesha, from the Countermeasure Division of Baiyun City,” the beautiful young girl clad in the black vest said.
Si Hesha saw that Zhao Zili finally stopped shooting and let out a sigh of relief. She ran onto the roof but was not panting nor flushed. She said, “On behalf of the Countermeasure Bureau of Xuan Nation, I wish to have a talk with you.”
“Oh, what’s the matter?” Zhao Zili questioned.
Zhao Zili shook his head and said suddenly, “The rain will s.h.i.+eld you from adversities!” And shortly after, a barrage of Holy Recovery bullets landed on a road intersection not far away.
“There are many things we need to talk about,” Si Hesha said. Although Zhao Zili’s behavior was peculiar, Si Hesha did not care as she hurriedly attempted to delay Zhao Zili with what she had been instructed to say. She continued, “If it is possible, we would like to discuss in detail at a quieter location. Mr. Zhao, we approach you with no ill intent.”
“I know,” Zhao Zili said.
Ren Suo obviously knew that Si Hesha did not harbor any malicious plans.
If she was indeed evil, it was likely that her appearance would have changed from that of a beautiful young girl into that of Snow White’s mother when she was cosplaying, or perhaps into that of the White Swan when she was young… Long story short, she would not look pretty.
Games with slightly clearer and higher graphic quality game characters seemed to follow such a trend. At least when Ren Suo was engaged in the training in “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”, he felt that his compet.i.tors were either fierce and fat or ugly and fat, unlike the slightly cute and chubby Zhao Zili.
Si Hesha was slightly enthusiastic as she added, “I don’t know if Mr. Zhao has a place to live in. If so, we can arrange for…”
“There’s no need for that, I will leave very soon,” Zhao Zili said.
Zhao Zili glanced behind to his right which took Si Hesha by surprise. She quickly said, “That is my colleague. After receiving news about you, I immediately came over to… welcome you.”
“I understand,” Zhao Zili replied.
The Talents which Zhao Zili already acquired would not disappear. Although most of the Talents served to enhance the effect of the Holy Recovery firearms, Ren Suo had purchased a Vision Talent for Zhao Zili which enabled him to see anything within 50 meters and that was naturally why he noticed a few others clad in the black vests approaching him from behind.
It appeared that Si Hesha notified the other personnel of the Countermeasure Division, and they were trying to find a way onto the roof to be noticed by Zhao Zili, to prove that they did not have any ill intentions.
Ren Suo glanced at the clock at the upper right corner of the screen and said, “But I am running out of time. If there is another opportunity in the future… we will meet again. In the name of the Master of the Holy Light…” He conveniently shot at the other personnel with the gun at the same time.
“Why are you running out of time?” Si Hesha asked.
“I came back this time, but I have a time limit to adhere to. I am only here to spread the grace of the G.o.ds and make their intentions known,” Zhao Zili said. Ren Suo thought that it was not something that should not be said, so he added, “I have completed my mission, and so I naturally have to return.”
“But we—” Si Hesha wanted to say something, but at that moment, a command from her superiors seemed to be made through her earpiece. She immediately asked, “Mr. Zhao Zili, are you from the future?”
Ren Suo hesitated slightly but quickly understood the true significance of Si Hesha’s question. He had already prepared the answer a long time ago.
Zhao Zili answered expressionlessly, “The reason why I emerged as the champion in the training was not what you thought it was, nor was it because I had experienced it beforehand. Rather, it was because I already knew the answer before the training took place.”
Taking on the t.i.tle of being “from the future” was not something he could bear, for it would easily be exposed. Even for Ren Suo, he could only guess what would happen in the future based on a part of the games and some of the events which took place in them.
However, Zhao Zili’s movements in the training were truly legendary, so Ren Suo decided to let him make use of the “reason” he had thought of a long time ago.
Zhao Zili mouthed a few words and at the same moment, the 30 minutes were up. On the roof, in front of all the onlookers and the personnel clad in the black vests, Zhao Zili, a fat person in a white robe, quickly turned into light and vanished into the air.
Si Hesha sighed. She directed the other personnel in the black vests to gather any clues at the spot where Zhao Zili vanished, as she turned her head and whispered to report to her superiors.
“… Apart from what he said, he mouthed two words to me at the last moment. When I head back, I will hand the video recording from the action camera on the vest to the logistics team for a.n.a.lysis of his mouth shape,” she said.
“But based on my preliminary observations and if I saw correctly, he should have said…”
“The two words, Heavenly, Palace.”
