Chapter 396: Heavenbreaker
“Godbearer Cult.” Gao Yang knew the answer already.
“That’s right. There are many machinations linked to the Godbearer Cult, and they are up to much evil, posing a great threat to us. They must be erased. And I believe the Cult would lead to many answers about the Mist World.”
Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird nodded in agreement.
Qilin looked at them calmly. “I’ll entrust the mission to you, Seven Shadow.”
“Understood.”
This time, Gao Yang didn’t talk himself down or excuse himself.
He was the person for the job considering his power-up and the old scars and new wounds between him and the Godbearer Cult.
“I’ve talked to Dragon and Surnamed Li about the matter,” Qilin said. “They can’t fully entrust the mission to the Guild and insist on getting involved.”
“Ha, they just want to keep tabs on us.” Azure Dragon narrowed his sharp eyes, his eyes crinkling.
“I would’ve done the same,” Vermilion Bird said carelessly. “The Godbearer Cult is a treasure trove of an organization. Much treasure and intel will be unearthed in the process. Of course they’ll want a finger in it.” Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
“I know.” Qilin nodded. “But I didn’t reject them. It’s good to have allies when facing the Godbearer Cult.”
“Seven Shadow, the fifth operations team will be in charge of investigating the Cult with the help of the Twelve Zodiac Signs and the Hundred Rivers Union. Operation: Heavenbreaker, you will flush out the Cult and its leader, the Heavenly Godbearer, at all cost.”
Gao Yang nodded. “Who have the Twelve Zodiac Signs and the Hundred Rivers Union sent?”
“The Twelve Zodiac Signs sent Green Snake, Yellow Ox, and Heavenly Dog, while the Union sent Chen Ying and Amon.”
Gao Yang quirked his lips. “I thought the Twelve Zodiac Signs would’ve sent War Tiger for something this important.”
“War Tiger seems to be looking into something else.” Vermilion Bird narrowed her eyes and curled her lips bemusedly. “The Twelve Zodiac Signs sure are doing a lot under the table.”
“Pay them no mind.” Qilin tapped on the floor with his cane. “Do you have anything to say?”
“Guildmaster, Nainai came to find me this afternoon,” Gao Yang said.
Qilin asked with a smile, “Are you content with the new member assigned to you?”
She lifted her chin slightly. “Thanks.”
“When did you start smoking?” Gao Yang asked casually.
“I started when I was in college. Then I met Scarlet Fox and he nagged me whenever I smoked. I got irritated into quitting.” Vermilion Bird smiled, her voice drifting a little. “Now that no one’s nagging me, I can smoke again.”
“My condolences.”
“Ha, didn’t expect you to be the one comforting me.” Vermilion Bird took a drag of the cigarette between her fingers gracefully, exhaling smoke slowly with a hazy look in her eyes. “My condolences to you too.”
Gao Yang nodded.
The two of them fell silent. A melancholy song from the past was playing on the radio, as if quietly mourning the ones who had passed away.
Finishing the cigarette, Vermilion Bird put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray between the seats. “Last month, the Qilin Guild held a funeral for all the companions we have lost.”
Gao Yang paused, catching on immediately. “You’ve made up your mind?”
“Yeah.” She smiled. “Their bodies have been kept there because I kept thinking I could bring them back one day with Equivalent Exchange, but it doesn’t seem likely now. The world is ending in two years. Among those who could be resurrected, there wasn’t any I’d be willing to bring back at the cost of falling into a coma for a year.”
She paused, her smile colored by sadness. “And the one I’m willing to pay a year for, I cannot bring back.”
Such as White Tiger and Scarlet Fox. Vermilion Bird didn’t spell it out, but Gao Yang knew who she was talking about.
“And Guildmaster agreed?”
“He respected my decision.” Vermilion Bird glanced sideways at him. “So, the Guild held a proper funeral for them as farewell.”
“There will only be more such occasions in the future,” she said in a distant tone. “Be ready, Elder Seven Shadow.”
Gao Yang paused. It was the first time Vermilion Bird ever called him Elder Seven Shadow. She was keeping him at arm’s length.
It seemed that she was already increasing the emotional distance between her and others in preparation for the farewells that were to come.
It was a universal truth that losing someone wouldn’t be as painful and hard as long as one didn’t care about them as much.
“This is my stop, Elder Vermilion Bird.” Gao Yang gave her a polite smile. “Thank you for giving me a ride.”
